"Oh! The new district? The living conditions there are so good?" the other person asked, voicing their question.
Lu Yuan then looked at the other party warily. He didn't want to be exposed again, but he didn't need to be afraid. If nothing unexpected happened, the army of refugees should have just arrived in the coastal area. They were probably fishing and picking seaweed now and wouldn't be back for a while.
"No, it's just barely enough to make ends meet."
Professor Zhu nodded, then threw the trash from the bag into the trash can and pointed to the villa behind him.
"Come inside with me! This isn't a good place to talk."
The group then entered the villa.
When they arrived at the villa, they discovered that it seemed to be a hidden world inside. There were several shovels and hoes placed against the wall, and in another entrance hall, there were several glass bottles containing various vegetables soaking in the solution. It was clear that the bottles contained nutrient solution. Lu Yuan couldn't help but take a second look.

Professor Zhu led them around, explaining things as he went, without any concern that they might try to steal anything.

Then everyone was startled and turned around abruptly to see a hunched old woman holding a homemade gun, pointing it at them.

Lu Yuan immediately gave the old man a thumbs up in his heart. Awesome, no joke! He originally thought his house was full of ingenious tricks, but he didn't expect that this old man's place had an even more high-tech feel. Compared to it, his own things were simply weak.
