Chapter 1852 995: Su Yuan's Performance, The Scheme Within a Scheme

Two unmanned drones patrolled several kilometers around the Oil City, but found nothing unusual.

Inside the Oil City.

The vehicles were ready. Dong Tai looked at Xiao He and advised:

"When you go there later, be extra careful. We don't know if that person is really unconscious, so once you get there, tie him up first, and then bring him back!"

Xiao He nodded and said, "Don't worry, we'll be careful."

With that, he led two team members into the vehicle.

Crack, crack, crack—

The gate slowly opened.

Boom!

Xiao He drove the vehicle out at high speed.

The distance was short; they drove up beside the fallen child with just a tap on the pedal.

Bang!

Xiao He and his two companions got out of the vehicle, two of them pointing their guns at the person lying on the ground, whose fate was unknown.

The other person approached slowly with a rope.

Xiao He kicked the child lying on the ground with his foot, but there was no movement.

So he waved his hand, signaling the person with the rope to go ahead and tie him up.

Thump!

The team member with the rope flipped the child over and searched him, finding no weapons, then swiftly tied Xiao Yuan up.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan, pretending to be unconscious, thought they would take him in directly, but he did not expect to be tied up by the person beside him.

For a moment, his mind was in conflict.

He considered whether he should seize the moment to wake up, then explain why he was there.

But through the fabric covering his face, he saw two more people aiming guns at his head.

While he hesitated, he was already tied up in ropes.

"Come, help me carry him to the back." The person finished tying the rope and spoke to the teammate beside him.

The team member who was previously holding a gun slung it behind him, quickly stepped forward, and with another person, carried the unconscious teenager onto the truck bed.

They had come out in a pickup truck.

The team member who helped load him into the vehicle couldn't help but say, "So light?"

No one answered his question.

"Go!" Xiao He glanced around, slung his gun behind him, and got into the vehicle.

The other two turned and jumped onto the truck bed too.

Xiao He floored the pedal, and the vehicle roared towards Oil City.

The vehicle shook as the two people sitting in the truck bed kept a close eye on the child.

Xiao Wu, a bit curious, reached to remove the mask from the person's face to see what he looked like but was stopped by another team member: "The sun's radiation is strong, if you take off his mask..."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot."

Soon.

They returned to the Oil City.

The moment they entered Oil City, the gate slammed shut.

Thud, thud, thud—

Once the vehicle was inside, Zuo Ruxue and a few others gathered around.

"Who is this?" Zuo Ruxue curiously looked at the person lying in the vehicle and asked.

While helping carry the person out with another guy, Xiao Wu said, "Found just outside the city."

As he spoke, they carried the person to a small room at the edge.

Being interested in Zuo Ruxue's words, she watched as Xiao Wu, Xiao He, and the others headed away, intending to follow and see when Dong Tai came over.

Seeing Dong Tai, Zuo Ruxue quickly asked, "Found outside the city? What's going on?"

Dong Tai nodded and said, "Yeah, we saw him yesterday too, but he ran off. Today, I don't know what happened, but suddenly he was kneeling outside the wall, seemingly in trouble, and then seemed to faint.

But the Camp Commander said this person might be problematic, so we brought him in."

"I see. Could he be a former cooperative personnel?" Zuo Ruxue asked.

"Probably not, do you want to come along and take a look?" Dong Tai suggested.

Zuo Ruxue nodded, "Sure."

The two walked towards the small room.

Upon entering the room, they saw a young boy bound to a chair, with the chair tied to a support column.

Walking closer.

They observed the boy's pale face, chapped lips with peeling skin, and messy hair.

His clothed body was tattered, a classic look of a survivor refugee.

Judging by appearance, he seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.

His build was thin.

Could such a person really pose a problem, as Ju Tianrui suggested?

Zuo Ruxue, even more puzzled, glanced at Dong Tai and said, "This is just a kid; how could he be a problem?"

Dong Tai shrugged and said, "I don't know what to say, but I follow the Camp Commander."

Looking at the child, Zuo Ruxue felt somewhat sympathetic, yet a sense of caution lingered.

This was the Doomsday; no one who survived until now would be naive.

At that moment, the child in front of them suddenly murmured unconsciously:

"Water, water....."

Zuo Ruxue quickly poured a glass of water, pressing it to the boy's dry lips and gave him a sip.

The boy awakened, opened his eyes, observing the few people around him.

He tried to stand, feigning surprise as if just realizing he was bound.

"You guys, I, let me go..." terror showed in his eyes.

Dong Tai pulled up a chair and sat, coughed twice.

Then asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?"
