Chapter 1850

Chapter 1850: Chapter 994:

Additionally, they might have a new mission, allowing them to exchange for food; finally, they could survive.

Second Satellite City.

Le Ziqing looked at the people tidying their things, his heart filled with excitement.

He clenched his fist, placing it on his chest.

“That’s great!” he murmured.

…….

Amidst the bustling activity in Satellite City, they were preparing for the first entry into the legendary Big Camphor Tree Base.

At this moment, outside Oil City, two kilometers away,

came a child cloaked in a cape.

On the city wall.

Dong Tai held the telescope, watching the cloaked child slowly approach.

He said to Xiao He next to him: “Doesn’t he look familiar? Wasn’t this the person the drone chased yesterday?”

Xiao He, controlling the drone to approach the cloaked person, replied:

“It’s him.”

Absolutely certain!

Dong Tai frowned, wondering why he’d dare come back.

Meanwhile,

Xiao Yuan internally anxious and lowered his head.

He raised both hands high to indicate he wasn’t holding any weapons.

Yet he dared not look at the drone overhead.

His palms were sweaty.

Last night, Brother Meng and Baozi gave him a bunch of ideas, finally setting up a seemingly reasonable identity, even thinking in advance of answers to all the possible questions Oil City might ask.

Where did he come from?

Why come to Oil City?

How was he alone?

How did he survive until now?

Including his family members and experiences, packaged into the identity of an orphan struggling in Doomsday.

Just passing through here, wanting to survive, pleading for an opportunity.

Adding in some tragic experiences Baozi suggested, rendering one sympathetic upon hearing them.

And his frail figure at the age of only fourteen.

To invoke sympathy.

They even adopted a simulation format.

Baozi simulated people from Oil City, then questioned Xiao Yuan on various topics.

Then revised based on Xiao Yuan’s responses.

After training all night, Brother Meng was satisfied, and Baozi anticipative.

Xiao Yuan, however, was somewhat anxious.

Dong Tai, seeing this thin and small figure, originally ready to aim the rifle, hesitated.

So he said: “Bring the loudspeaker over, also go invite the Camp Commander to come.”

Next to him, three or four team members aimed their rifles at Xiao Yuan.

If the person dared make any move, they might shoot.

After Dong Tai recorded his message with the loudspeaker, he had a team member control another drone to fly over.

“This is Oil City, you have entered our area, please leave immediately and do not approach further, or we will shoot.”

The drone carrying Dong Tai’s recorded message flew over.

As it flew, the loudspeaker continually repeated Dong Tai’s words.

Xiao Yuan heard the message on the loudspeaker and paused slightly, no longer heading forward.

At this moment, he was only one kilometer from Oil City.

Seeing him stop.

Dong Tai sighed in relief, he truly did not want to kill a child.

One kilometer away meant entering their absolute security zone.

Getting closer, if unable to distinguish friend from foe, as per the City Lord’s instructions, they must shoot to stop him.

“Please leave quickly.” Dong Tai sighed.

According to the City Lord’s instructions, they were not permitted to accept any strangers into Oil City.

Due to previous lessons learned, they dared not risk further.

Director Li often educated them that momentary softness could cost teammates their lives.

In Doomsday, softness is much akin to seeking death.

Dong Tai was a sentimental person, yet at the moment dared not be emotional.

With the telescope, Dong Tai, upon seeing the child halt, initially thought he would leave.

But in the next moment.

The child suddenly dropped to his knees.

Then began bowing towards Oil City.

Ah, this…..

Dong Tai suddenly couldn’t hold back.

What difficulty has he encountered?

This this this.

A team member beside him saw the child on the screen, with his frail figure.

Sighing, said: “Could it be he encountered some difficulty?”

“Not sure, but this is really…”

“The Camp Commander has arrived.”

“Camp Commander.”

Ju Tianrui looking at the footage on the drone screen, then picking up the telescope for a look.

Frowning, asked: “What’s going on? Why is the person outside bowing?”

Dong Tai replied helplessly:

“Not sure, yesterday a drone saw this person outside the base, and he fled upon seeing it.

Then today, he ran over again; earlier I warned him with a loudspeaker not to approach, but he didn’t listen.

Now he’s kneeling on the ground, continuously bowing, maybe facing some difficulty?”

Ju Tianrui frowned, said: “Yesterday? Wasn’t yesterday the day of trading with Southern Paradise? Why is the timing such a coincidence?”

Dong Tai upon hearing, pondered:

“Right, yesterday.”

“Hmm?”

“Camp Commander, I sensed someone secretly spying yesterday, could it be him?” Dong Tai asked.

Ju Tianrui thought for a moment and asked: “Have you encountered this situation before; you’ve been here longer, was there anything similar when Xiao Jun was here?”

Dong Tai upon hearing, thought carefully and said:

“There were a few such cases, but they ran off when we warned them.”

Ju Tianrui asked further: “I heard some cooperative personnel, where are they now?”
