Chapter 100 Persuasion, Winning Hearts and Minds, and Making the Most of Resources (Part Two)
This news made Lu Sheng quite happy, but there was one thing he couldn't understand.
He didn't bother to hide anything from Meng Lingshi, so he simply asked directly, "I remember that Cheng Qiushui was the one in charge of communicating with Jin Kuihua, right?"
Why do you also have the right to communicate directly with them?
Meng Lingshi sighed; she didn't know why Lu Sheng would care about such a question.
However, since the other party asked, she still answered: "Nominally, the leader of our aid team is Cheng Qiushui, and only he has the right to send messages to the Golden Sunflower headquarters."
But we are not tools; we are human beings, and we also have family and friends.
"Many of us originally had quite a few relatives and friends within the Golden Sunflower organization."
Take Su Caiwei for example. She can always find the higher-ups at Golden Sunflower because they are her parents and uncles.
One more thing, this message was probably sent to a group; I just received it, and Cheng Qiushui and the others probably did too.
"I have already sent them a message through my personal terminal to tell them that I have shared this information with you."
So you can be secretly happy, we'll stand with you through this huge disaster.
Lu Sheng nodded.
There are only two months left, but there is just so much to do.
Food reserves, energy reserves, heating systems, heating facilities, and even, looking further ahead, wind power generation devices that can provide continuous power in the dark, as well as vertical farms that can stably provide food.
Although there are large tracts of open land around, it would take at least several years to cultivate those barren, rocky lands for planting crops, even with modern machinery.
In comparison, it's more convenient to simply upgrade the camp multiple times.
Although it would require a considerable amount of materials, there was no time to hesitate in the face of this disaster.
Besides the practical preparations, there are some other things that require extra preparation.
Lu Sheng raised his hand and contacted Lei Zhaowu again through his personal communication terminal.
After a beep, Lei Zhaowu sent a message: "Brother Lu, what's up?"
Is there something you want to report to the young lady?
Lu Sheng gave Lei Zhaowu an explanation that surprised him: "It has nothing to do with her. I have something I want to talk to you about."
Lei Zhaowu, you'd better come to the camp as soon as possible. This matter concerns not only you, but also the lives and safety of your entire family.
According to regulations, this matter cannot be disclosed to outsiders, but I consider you one of my own, so I've decided to take the risk and tell you.
Lei Zhaowu didn't expect Lu Sheng to say such serious words, so he left a message and then cut off the communication.
The sentence was: "I'll be there right away."
After the call ended, a sudden gust of cool wind swept over him, and Lu Sheng pulled his coat tighter around himself.
There are still at least two months until winter.
But the wind was already carrying a hint of chill, as if foreshadowing an impending disaster.
An hour later.
Cheng Qiushui converted the first floor of his residence into a conference room.
Lu Sheng used it directly as a reception room.
At this moment, he and Cheng Qiushui were sitting on the inside of the table, while Lei Zhaowu was nervously rubbing his hands, sitting on the outside of the table.
"Brother Lu, just tell me what's wrong. I can handle it."
Lu Sheng and Cheng Qiushui exchanged a glance and nodded together.
Finally, Cheng Qiushui spoke up: "Brother Lei, your whole family may face a bloody disaster, and it could happen within three months."
Lei Zhaowu felt that his inner expectations had been betrayed.
"Brother Qiushui, I have no grudge against you, what do you mean by suddenly cursing me?"
Cheng Qiushui shook her head: "How could I curse you?"
My meaning is very simple and direct, it's exactly what it sounds like.
Within three months, the entire world will face a major disaster that will last for several months to half a year.
You must have heard of this disaster, the Eternal Night.
Moreover, this is an eternal night that arrives in winter.
Do you understand what this means?
These words immediately put Lei Zhaowu on guard.
He certainly knew about the eternal night, and he knew how much harm an eternal night that came in winter could cause.
Extreme cold weather, darkness, and various secondary disasters could reduce the world's population by 10% to 20%.
In the old days, with advanced technology, people thought they had mastered nature. But when the long night came, they discovered that they could resist the ferocious beasts of the night and defeat the strange monsters of the night.
However, the secondary meteorological disasters brought by the long night were far more terrifying than the warriors of the long night.
An extremely fierce blizzard can destroy a fortress that even the Lord of Night cannot conquer.
A hurricane that can tear apart stone can completely wipe a bustling city from the ground, no more difficult than wiping up a puddle of water with a rag.
However, such major disasters are rare, and he expressed extreme skepticism about Cheng Qiushui's words.
"Brother Qiushui, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
Where did you get this information from?
Why have I never heard of this before?
Cheng Qiushui frankly told him: "Because very few people know about this news now, probably only some core family members and people who will enter the underground bunker according to the plan know about it."
We didn't intend to spread this news. To be honest, if the boss hadn't wanted you to weather this disaster with the camp, we would never have told you this.
After saying all this, Cheng Qiushui immediately began to apply pressure before Lei Zhaowu could fully digest the information.
"Brother Zhaowu, I think you should understand that ordinary ground bunkers can hardly withstand the various secondary disasters during the Eternal Night, not to mention the energy shortage, food shortage, and all sorts of other problems that will follow."
The entire surface will become a lawless zone. Who will you rely on to protect you and your family?
Family?
They are already moving to the underground fortress.
If you don't want your family to disappear forever in this disaster, then you now have a choice, an opportunity—an opportunity that, frankly, I don't think the boss should tell you, because it involves taking a huge risk.
He paused here, and seeing the look of fear on Lei Zhaowu's face, he knew that although he had exaggerated a little, he had obviously succeeded in intimidating the other party. So he took a shallow breath and showed an expression that said, "You've made a profit, kid."
"You've already seen the boss's methods. In the remaining time, he's fully capable of building a fortress that can withstand this massive disaster."
But he also needs sufficient resources. We lack not only building materials, but also food, energy, and weapons, not to mention that more people will be entering this camp in the near future.
Therefore, we hope to mobilize all available resources to help.
Brother Zhaowu, I know that given our relationship, talking about a transaction would be a bit vulgar.
But we also understand that we can't let you give in vain.
So as long as you're willing to contribute, you can bring your family to this camp to escape the disaster.
