Lu Yuan then returned to his residence, and things at the camp continued to proceed smoothly.
The work of artificial intervention has been basically completed, and now, with the development of the camp itself, their original self-awareness is gradually becoming apparent.
After a good night's sleep, Lu Yuan heard hurried footsteps outside before he even got out of bed the next morning. A guard stood at the door and spoke softly.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu? Are you up? Xiwen has something important to report."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's eyes widened. He had already woken up, but he hadn't gotten out of bed because it was so comfortable in the covers.
Upon hearing the guard's words, he immediately perked up.
Xiao Shan also turned her head to look with a happy expression. After exchanging a smile, the two of them immediately put on their clothes.
Once outside, Xiwen's face was full of joy. He said to Lu Yuan, "Brother Lu, we found him! We found him! Oil expert Ma Hongyi is still alive. We have confirmed his whereabouts, and he is currently in Lincheng District."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan was immediately filled with excitement.
"Great, can we now determine whether this person is alive or dead?"
"It's been confirmed. They showed signs of activity there recently, indicating that this person is still alive. Moreover, he holds a very high position; he should be considered the second-in-command in Lincheng District."
"That's good. If we can't delay, let's head to Lincheng District now to find this Ma Hongyi. He's really important to us."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan stopped in his tracks.
"By the way, you just said that this person is the second-in-command in Lincheng District, which means he is not short of money. How did he make his fortune?"
Xiwen scratched his head, seemingly unaware of these matters.
When he arrived, he only heard a brief introduction to these matters from Han Wen, and he didn't know the specific details.
So the three of them quickly ran towards Zone Two.
Upon arriving at Zone Two, one could see a brand-new, enormous tent with lights still on.
Although the sun has risen above the horizon, it is much farther from Earth than it has been before.
Therefore, the temperature here is not very high, and the brightness is not very high either.
Even in broad daylight, sometimes you need to turn on the lights if you want to see things clearly.
At this time, turning on a lamp can help relieve eye strain.
Therefore, in the entire Zone 2, only the Korean section has its lights on.
There were also some guards standing guard nearby with guns.
Hearing footsteps outside, Han Wen gently reached out and lifted the curtain.
When she saw Lu Yuan, she smiled slightly and then stepped forward to hand him the notebook.
"Found it. Petroleum expert Ma Hongyi is 43 years old, which is considered a relatively young scholar. He published many papers on petroleum research before the apocalypse, and he is a very famous scholar in China!"
Lu Yuan nodded as he looked at the information about Ma Hongyi on the computer.
It must be said that this person is a true genius scholar; he was already a doctoral student in his thirties.
He has won numerous awards, especially for his profound knowledge of various theoretical aspects of petroleum.
More importantly, after entering the apocalypse, the other party has been active in various energy sectors, and with the wealth he built up in the energy sector, he is quite wealthy.
Moreover, he was considered the second-in-command in the entire camp. As for the top leader, he seemed to have been a warlord who later used his influence to take over Ma Hongyi's faction.
Ma Hongyi now plays the role of the second-in-command in the entire profit-making process, but he has no real power and lives a life of leisure, which is quite good.
After reading the contents, Lu Yuan nodded slightly and then closed the notebook.
"It seems that dealing with Ma Hongyi won't be easy. This guy basically has everything he needs now, so it's unlikely that we'll get him to help us for free!"
Furthermore, if the offer is too low, the person won't be very interested, so we need to offer a suitable price!
"Yes, Ma Hongyi doesn't have any particular hobbies in his life. If he really has any hobbies, it's probably cooking for his wife. Sometimes it's hard to know where to start!"
When Han Wen got to this point, he let out a helpless sigh.
At this moment, Xiwen, who was standing to the side, said softly.
"Isn't he very good to his wife? Why don't we start with his wife and kidnap her to make her help us?"
Lu Yuan, Xiao Shan, and Han Wen all widened their eyes after hearing this.
They looked at Xiwen with incredulous eyes.
"Are you crazy? Kidnapping? Ma Hongyi may not be a particularly good person, but he's definitely not a bad one either. How could we possibly kidnap him?"
Furthermore, coercing the other party in this way could potentially lead to a permanent loss of cooperation and could also offend Lincheng District. Therefore, we absolutely cannot use this method; we must resolve this issue through legitimate means!
After hearing this, Xiwen scratched his head sheepishly. He had just said it casually, but he hadn't expected it to cause such a big problem. So he shut up and stopped talking.
At this moment, Xiao Shan, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up: "These are all documents. We'll find out the specifics when we get there!"
We don't know what's going on in Lincheng District right now. Let's go investigate the matter of the Refining Spirit stage and see how the people in Lincheng District are living!
What if they're so hungry they can't even feed their leader? Wouldn't it be a huge help if we brought them some food? Seeing is believing!
Lu Yuan strongly agreed with Xiao Shan's opinion. After all, one has no right to speak without seeing it for oneself. Rather than just chatting here, it's better to go and see for oneself.
After discussing it, Lu Yuan decided to pack his things that night and set off for Lincheng District early the next morning.
However, this trip to Lincheng District didn't require much stuff or people, so Lu Yuan decided to go alone.
Because Xiaoshan at home also has to take care of the children.
Aunt Liu hasn't been feeling well lately and has caught a cold.
Xiao Shan was worried that Aunt Liu would pass on her cold to Qi Qi, so she had to stay home and take care of the child for the next few days.
