Chapter 104 Scrap Materials, The Lin Family and Preparations for Winter
Camp 49, Cheng Qiushui's residence, first floor.
Or rather—the reception room.
Lin Luo's hand slid across the wall, the touch smooth and delicate, like a lacquer finish made by a skilled master craftsman.
He didn't understand.
As he moved from the outside into the room, he learned more and more about the camp, but the number of questions that arose in his mind also increased.
Awakened beings are divided into two main categories: builders and destroyers, and these two categories can be further subdivided infinitely.
Because everyone has their own strengths.
There are builders who excel at laying foundations, builders who excel at constructing building frames, and builders who excel at interior finishing.
Human life is finite, and only a very few geniuses can master every step of a house's construction process at a young age. Division of labor and cooperation are the norm.
But this camp only has one builder, Lu Sheng.
In other circumstances, this small detail could be explained by Lu Sheng's meticulousness.
However, the entire camp was built in less than a month.
After ruling out all common sense, the answer Lin Luo could think of overlapped with the scene of the off-road vehicle being repaired right before his eyes.
Can a person instantly decipher the shape of every crack in a car, reconnect them, and restore them to their original state?
Lin Luo couldn't believe that any architect could do that.
If it were simply a matter of building a new car from the wreckage of another car, then some builders would indeed have that skill, but Lu Sheng's demonstration went far beyond that.
"call----"
After a long period of contemplation, he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, allowing himself to relax.
Turning to look across the desk, besides Lu Sheng, there was another man sitting there, Cheng Qiushui, whom the information had mentioned.
Members of the "professional construction team" hired by the Lu family are responsible for personnel management at the camp.
But apart from that, no further information could be found.
Seeing that Cheng Qiushui was waiting for her to speak, Lin Luo realized that she had been lost in thought for quite a while.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
He sat up straight and, after apologizing, got straight to the point: "Station Chief Lu, Mr. Cheng, the Lin family is also making active preparations to deal with the disaster. Many supplies that are not usually needed have suddenly become scarce."
In this situation, what kind of assistance do you hope the Lin family will provide?
Lu Sheng didn't speak, but looked at Cheng Qiushui. The two exchanged a glance, and Cheng Qiushui understood.
"Steel, scrap steel is fine, wood, even lower quality is fine, and sand. In addition, we need seeds, and anything else you can provide."
Cheng Qiushui took out a piece of paper, placed it on the table, pressed it down with her finger, and pushed it to Lin Luo.
"You already know what we can offer, but we have no idea what you can offer."
In the face of crisis, we should be even more open and honest.
Lin Luo looked at the blank paper that was pushed towards him, took it, folded it, and put it into his shirt pocket.
"It happened so suddenly, I need to have further discussions with my family, please arrange something for me—no, I'll just stay in my car."
After saying this, he stood up in front of Cheng Qiushui and Lu Sheng and left the reception room.
Once he was sure Lin Luo's footsteps had completely disappeared, Lu Sheng let out a soft breath.
"Normally, I would be happy to spend more time talking to him, but there's just too little time left at the camp now."
Cheng Qiushui understood what Lu Sheng meant.
If it weren't for the ever-approaching threat of eternal night, the entire camp would likely be in a state of enthusiastic welcome to all factions joining.
But that won't work now. The size of the camp is limited, and the costs and resources that can be paid and acquired in a short period of time are also limited.
Lu Sheng then left the room and climbed the nearest West Gate watchtower.
Looking down at the entire camp from the watchtower, he felt that the camp was starting to feel a bit crowded.
People come and go, but few have anything concrete to do.
A large amount of building materials were piled up in the warehouse, but because the quantity was neither high nor low, there was nothing that could be built on the spot.
The supermarket has already opened, but the first batch of credit points has not been distributed, which is equivalent to it not opening at all; it's just a warehouse number 2.
Wang Jian, who had previously come to open a restaurant, is also busy preparing to install equipment.
For his restaurant to stay open, it needs customers.
People need money to consume.
However, Lu Sheng didn't have much money in his account right now. He didn't know if the camp's daily income would be enough to cover the expenses for the next two months, or even enough to cope with the darkness that might last for half a year after winter started.
Suddenly, he felt a buzzing vibration.
Someone sent him a message, and when he looked at it, he was somewhat surprised to see that the sender was Lu Yuexin.
The message was brief, but it delighted Lu Sheng.
"Young man, there is someone I hope to place in your camp to help you through this eternal night."
I have already transferred the money to your account as payment for her accommodation.
This time I violated the family's financial rules, but with the disaster looming, no one had the time or resources to investigate me.
So feel free to use these funds.
But unfortunately, I have nothing more to give you.
Upon seeing this message, Lu Sheng immediately went down from the watchtower.
He didn't care at all who the person coming would be.
He even hoped that the other party would be intercepted and killed by the ferocious beast on the way, so as to save the camp a lot of trouble.
Because there are very few people who are worth making Lu Yuexin pay the price for, and he doesn't want to see any of them right now.
After rushing into the gas station, he met Lu Zheng's somewhat surprised face.
Clearly, the other party had already seen the message received on the terminal screen.
Lu Sheng ignored him completely, flipped over and jumped behind the cashier, turned around and looked at the terminal screen, which showed that he had received a personal transfer of 1000 million credits from Lu Yuexin.
This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for the camp at present.
Lu Sheng immediately saw hope, and this hope was so real and so profound.
"Cousin, why would the family suddenly give you such a large sum of money?"
The family is currently in dire need of funds in various aspects.
Hearing Lu Zheng's question, Lu Sheng did not give the answer he wanted to hear, but instead asked him, "Lu Zheng, if you want to go back to headquarters, you can leave now."
If you wish to stay at the camp and fight this disaster with me, I hope you will convey your wishes to your family within three days.
Tell them you're not going back.
Lu Zheng felt that Lu Sheng was a bit out of his mind and was talking nonsense.
"Cousin, this money is a huge sum for ordinary people, enough to build a camp that can withstand the eternal night, but it's still not enough."
Stop talking nonsense and tell me what happened!
