When Lu Yuan heard that the Earth's magnetic field was completely out of control and that the satellites were useless, he was shocked. He hadn't expected things to be this serious. So he continued to ask, "Then what I see is that the sun seems to have become so small. Has the Earth already left the solar system's orbit?"
Tan Qing sighed and said, "I don't know. I don't have many experts here. Most of the famous scholars fell into the rift valley with the rest of the population. It is said that the Earth is now off course, but whether it is still orbiting the sun is unclear!"
After pondering for a moment, Lu Yuan could only sigh at the fate of humanity. He didn't know where the Earth would drift to now. A small meteorite could have such a huge impact on the Earth, and everyone's fate was now tied to that of the Earth.
Seeing Lu Yuan's regret, Tan Qing could only step forward and pat Lu Yuan on the shoulder, saying, "Brother Lu, don't worry. Whether you live or die, so many people are with you. There's no need to worry too much!"
Then, Tan Qing glanced at the people next to Lu Yuan and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
They all look so energetic, does that mean they eat really well?
Thinking of this, Tan Qing coughed and said, "How about this, you can have a meal here today. We're old acquaintances, even though we've never met. We've worked together, and the last time we had the Bloodthirsty Black Beetle incident, it was all thanks to the chickens you sold us!"
Lu Yuan didn't actually plan to stay here any longer, but since he was already at their place, he still had a lot to discuss with them, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Tan!"
"Haha, Brother Lu, you're too kind. Don't call me President Tan, just call me Brother Tan!"
Lu Yuan couldn't understand why Tan Qing, who had 20,000 men under his command, was being so polite to him. However, he didn't think too much about it at the time. Since he was already there, he might as well see what the conditions were like on their side.
Tan Qing enthusiastically led Lu Yuan on a tour of their accommodations. Most people lived in nearby tents, with only a few able to stay in houses. Tan Qing himself lived there with several leaders from his base.
After whispering a few instructions to the person next to him, Tan Qing said to Lu Yuan with a smug look on his face, "Since this is your first time here, I won't hide anything from you. As you know, our food supply has been greatly affected by the disaster, and we can only get a very small amount of food. Although we still have a lot of food that was grown hydroponically in greenhouses, the earthquake basically destroyed that technology! However, we have discovered another kind of food here! Although it doesn't taste very good, it can fill you up!"
Lu Yuan nodded and casually looked around the room. This house was a villa left behind by someone in the past. The house was very large, with a spacious living room and a huge chandelier that hung down from the third floor, making it look very luxurious. The whole house had custom-made carpets that felt particularly soft to the touch.
Before long, several men dressed in chef's uniforms brought in some dishes.
"Brother Lu, come and try the cooking of my men! These are all top chefs I've gathered from other places! I heard they used to work as chefs in the provincial government, so their skills are truly exceptional. You can't get this kind of food from just anyone!"
After speaking, he pointed to the table next to him and walked straight over. Lu Yuan followed behind him and sat down in a chair opposite him.
There were more than ten dishes on the table, each of which looked particularly exquisite. However, Lu Yuan couldn't quite tell what they were made of. These things were dark and looked like chocolate, but Lu Yuan could still smell a slight fishy odor.
Lu Yuan frowned, picked up his chopsticks and took one, about to put it in his mouth, when he suddenly realized that this thing was definitely not ordinary.
So he put down the food he was talking about, glanced at Tan Qing across from him, and saw that the other man had already started to eat heartily, without paying any attention to the strange taste in the food.
Seeing Lu Yuan stop eating, Tan Qing looked up and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Lu? Is the food not to your liking?"
"Oh, I'd like to ask what kind of dishes you serve here?"
Hearing Lu Yuan's question, Tan Qing smiled and said, "This is all made from rat meat that I've stored up, mixed with some vegetables from the greenhouse. It tastes pretty good. We used to eat this!"
Upon hearing that the food here was rat meat, Lu Yuan immediately lost his appetite. He put down his chopsticks and shook his head with a wry smile: "Never mind, I don't think I have much of an appetite either. I must have eaten too much when I came! I won't waste your food!"
Tan Qing put down his chopsticks, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face, but he still smiled and said, "Sigh, it seems that life is indeed much better for Brother Lu than for us! How about we cooperate? I have a lot of land here. I know your place is surrounded by mountains, so getting out is basically unrealistic. How about we cooperate? I'll provide the land, and you provide the manpower and technology. Then we can split the profits. What do you think?"
Lu Yuan thought for a while after seeing that the other party had finally spoken his mind.
"It's not impossible, but if we want to get here, we need to cross mountains and valleys, which takes a lot of time. So how about this, you give me a piece of your land, and we can cooperate?"
