Surviving the Long Night: Starting from the Gas Station and Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 37 Lu Zheng, giving a report to the well-drilling workers

A young man with a trendy perm stretched out his arm and rested it on the truck window frame, meeting the gaze of Lu Sheng who was looking up.

He thought carefully for a while and finally managed to find the other person's identity from his vague memory.

"Lu Zheng, it's been a long time."

In the memories of the original owner, Lu Zheng was the son of an uncle, but his identity was somewhat mysterious. The original owner didn't know much about him, only that he and his father were not related by blood.

"No need for formalities, open the door, I need to park."

Lu Zheng was not interested in Lu Sheng's greeting. He honked the horn and urged Lu Sheng to open the iron gate of the wall.

"Are all the building materials in the truck?"

"I'm here, what's up?"

Lu Sheng raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the camp construction:

"There's no room for this truck inside the fence, and unloading would be a hassle. Do you see that bus over there? Park it next to it."

"Where are you going to park it? Didn't you see how badly that car is damaged? What are we going to do tonight?"

"The car was attacked because it was full of people. At night, ferocious beasts don't like to eat metal; there's a place for you to stay at night."

Seeing that Lu Sheng's attitude was firm, Lu Zheng didn't argue with him.

A few minutes later, he parked the truck next to Liang Shan's bus, turned off the engine, opened the door, grabbed his shotgun, hung it up, and jumped out of the vehicle.

After closing the car door, he turned on his wristband and sent a voice message to someone:

"I have arrived at the No. 49 transportation station project site. All goods have arrived without damage. Next, I will supervise the progress of the project according to the project requirements. Over."

At the entrance to the wall, a small truck was parked. Sun Zhiyuan got out of the truck and checked the situation with Lu Sheng.

After learning the location of the ferocious beasts, Sun Zhiyuan told Lu Sheng to go about his business and that he would take care of the rest of the moving work.

During the conversation, he noticed Lu Zheng's large truck:

"What kind of car is that?"

"The truck is loaded with building materials, and the man next to it is Lu Zheng, the supervisor sent by the family."

Sun Zhiyuan nodded, asked no further questions, and walked straight to the nearest ferocious beast carcass.

At that moment, Lu Sheng heard someone calling his name.

"Cousin, don't you have anything to ask me?"

He turned around and saw Lu Zheng walking towards him.

"Would you mind sharing with other people tonight?"

"ha?"

Lu Sheng briefly explained the situation:

"With the building materials, the campsite will be ready soon, but the accommodation will need a few more days to prepare. If you don't mind sharing with others, there's a house over there. If you do mind, I'll go borrow a tent for you."

"Is this what you meant by 'I'll have a place to stay'? What happened to your awakened builder talent?"

"I have no idea how many materials will be needed to build the camp. I can't risk delaying the construction just so you can stay comfortably."

Seeing Lu Sheng's helpless expression, Lu Zheng clicked his tongue:

"Alright, I won't argue with you about this for now. My identity is that of a supervisor sent by the family. My duty is to monitor your construction progress and report to the family."

If you understand, now report to me on the project progress and your construction plan. I need to write a report and submit it.

"Let's leave the report for tonight. Right now, I need to arrange for people to unload the building materials and prepare for the construction of the fence."

Daylight hours are short, and Lu Sheng didn't want to waste time giving a report, so he raised his bracelet and sent Liang Shan a message that the building materials had been delivered.

Liang Shan replied, "I'm coming right now."

Seeing that Lu Sheng wasn't cooperating much, Lu Zheng wasn't annoyed, and instead asked:

"It seems you're taking this family-assigned task very seriously, cousin. Now that I'm here, it wouldn't be right for me to just stand by and watch. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Could my family send me some money? There are so many places where I need to spend money later."

Lu Sheng was pleased to see Lu Zheng offer his help, but when he saw Lu Zheng fall silent, he knew that his request was doomed.

"Okay, in a bit you'll help Liang Shan and the others unload the goods, and when the people digging the well are coming, let me know."

"No problem. This has solved the camp's water supply problem, and it deserves to be highlighted in the report."

Lu Zheng's complexion improved somewhat.

Later, Liang Shan and his group returned. Led by Lu Zheng, they opened the truck's cargo box and unloaded the long strips of timber that were packed inside.

Besides timber, there were also coils of steel on the truck, which would be difficult to move without specialized machinery. Lu Sheng told Liang Shan to leave them on the truck for the time being.

When the unloading was completed, the sun was high in the sky. Liang Shan and his group drank a nutrient solution that could be absorbed quickly, and after regaining some strength, they began to drive the long wooden planks into the ground.

At this moment, a small truck appeared at the end of the road. After the truck stopped outside the wall, two men got out of the truck, and Lu Zheng went to meet them.

"We're here to drill a well. Are you a mainland student?"

"I am his cousin, Lu Zheng."

Lu Zheng introduced himself, and then sent a message to Lu Sheng through his wristband.

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Sheng and Jiang Shutong arrived together, with Zhao Cai following behind them.

Lu Zheng had met Jiang Shutong and Lin Ran not long ago, and even earlier, he had learned about the two from the information sent by his family.

He wasn't interested in them, so he had only given a polite self-introduction not long ago.

Seeing Lu Sheng bring Jiang Shutong over, he walked straight to Lu Sheng and asked in a low voice:

"Cousin, are it true that you were trying to save money by not buying the water quality testing service?"

The geological environment here is complex. Drilling a well won't yield water, which would be a waste of money and delay the project. If you're short of money, I can lend you some. We can't let a small thing cause a big loss.

Lu Sheng patted him on the shoulder:

"I have advanced technology; I'll tell you about it tonight."

Lu Zheng was puzzled by these words, but after thinking about it for a moment, he quickly figured out what to do.

He took two steps at a time, passing Lu Sheng and getting ahead of the well-drilling workers, grabbing the shotgun in his hand.

Seeing that the people they had previously persuaded suddenly changed their expressions, the two well-drilling workers were somewhat frightened.

"Once you've taken the money, do your job properly. If you delay the construction, the Lu family will make this your last business deal."

boom!

After warning the two men, Lu Zheng pulled the trigger and fired a shot into the air. Then, he quickly pulled back the handguard, reloaded the gun, and turned it to face them.

"Did you understand?"

"Yes, yes, we understand! We'll get to work right away! We'll dig wherever you tell us to!"

The two well-drilling workers were so frightened that they immediately backed down. Lu Sheng turned around with satisfaction, his face now beaming with a bright smile.

"Cousin, give them seats."

"Yes, Shutong, take them there."

Lu Zheng's threat surprised Lu Sheng and Jiang Shutong, and they began to have some reservations about the supervisor.

As Jiang Shutong was giving directions to the two workers, Lu Zheng patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder again:

"Cousin, let's go take a look. After the well is dug, we'll need to install the supporting facilities. I'd love to see what you're capable of."
