Chapter 1854: Chapter 995: Su Yuan’s Performance, Scheme Within a Scheme! (Part 3)

Zuo Ruxue smiled and nodded before speaking:

“We’ll coordinate when the time comes to see if we can get him to say anything.”

“Okay, I’m heading out now. The Camp Commander called me over,” Dong Tai said.

“Alright.”

Dong Tai left.

He hurried to the meeting room.

Ju Tianrui looked at Dong Tai and asked, “How did it go? Did you get anything out of him?”

The words weren’t very clear, but Dong Tai understood what he meant.

He shook his head and said, “He said a few things, but not very actionable.”

Then he recounted the content Su Yuan had just said to Ju Tianrui.

He also relayed Zuo Ruxue’s analysis.

Ju Tianrui nodded and said:

“She’s a smart person. That method seems pretty good, worth a try.”

“Okay, here’s what we’ll do: I’ll give you one day. No matter what method you use, you must find out his identity.

Also, during the daily report just now, I reported this matter to the base. The base said we must uncover his identity, and if we can’t do it by tomorrow, they’ll send someone over.”

Dong Tai nodded firmly and said, “I guarantee to complete the mission! I’ll make him come clean!”

After speaking, he left the meeting room.

After he left, Ju Tianrui furrowed his brows.

Thinking to himself:

Just who could it be that sent a child here?

Savage and reckless, it’s quite a dilemma how to handle this kid.

Being from a military background, he did have some sympathy for the weak, but he also understood that in this post-apocalyptic world, being kind to others is cruelty to oneself.

So he was somewhat distressed.

……

Five kilometers away from Oil City in a dense forest.

Mengge and his crew lay hidden in the grass, their bodies merging with the surroundings, completely undetectable from the outside.

“Mengge, the kid’s been taken inside, what’s our next move?” Old Bi asked.

Mengge put down the telescope and said with a smile, “Step one of the plan is a success. Next, we wait. We wait for the kid to successfully infiltrate, gain their trust, and by plan, he’ll signal us.”

Baozi nodded and said, “Mengge, let’s withdraw for now and return to the camp. Since it’ll likely take a while for any news.”

Mengge nodded and quietly said, “Yeah, let’s move.”

“By the way, Mengge, should we switch camps?” Baozi suddenly suggested.

Mengge was about to speak but seemed to realize something and nodded:

“Alright, just in case the kid turns on us, we’ll be in trouble. Let’s change locations!”

They took one last deep look at Oil City and slowly crawled away.

…..

Big Camphor Tree Base.

In the duty room.

Li Yu listened to Second Uncle and said in confusion:

“A child not even twelve or thirteen? That seems a bit off.”

“Yes, I feel something’s off too, so I told Ju Tianrui to interrogate as soon as possible. If we can’t get anything by tomorrow, I’ll send people over,” Second Uncle replied.

Li Yu thought for a moment and said, “Still need one more day? Too troublesome. How about we just….”

But upon further thought, since Second Uncle had given them one more day.

He reconsidered before continuing, “Alright.

Then tomorrow, let Lao Yi take Dapao and Li Tie over; they’re more experienced and might work faster.”

“Also, send Xiao Jun over.

This is a good chance for him to represent Big Camphor Tree Base and visit Southern Paradise. Help me meet Mr. Hu.”

He recalled what Xiao Jun had said to him recently about not wanting to be a villain.

If this kid succeeds, it could be a good thing.

So he decided to arrange for Xiao Jun to visit Southern Paradise.

The helicopter’s fast, just a two-hour journey.

Given the cooperation over the past few times, especially after Mr. Hu took out Scar and gained full control of Southern Paradise, he felt like they could deepen cooperation with Southern Paradise to expand Big Camphor Tree Base’s influence.

Second Uncle nodded in agreement and said:

“Good, let’s do that, but why have Xiao Jun go over?”

Li Yu grinned and said, “Xiao Jun’s got his eyes on Mr. Hu’s Ma Yingxue from Southern Paradise; he’s been distracted lately and shared his thoughts with me.

I thought, since he told me, let him give it a try.

Besides, Southern Paradise has come to Oil City so many times, it’s fair for us to send someone over there too. It’s a good chance to check out their current situation as well.”

Second Uncle considered and said:

“That works, but what if Xiao Jun….”

Li Yu chuckled and said, “Some things we can’t control, but some things we can do well. So, let’s do what’s needed now, and if problems arise, we’ll solve them immediately.

That’s better than hiding issues beneath the surface.”

Second Uncle nodded and said, “Makes sense.”

Li Yu stretched, sipped some tea, put on his helmet, and slowly walked out of the duty room.

He strolled to the Fourth Outer City construction site.

The people on the site were the same, but soon they would double in number.

Then he left the Fourth Outer City walls.

Returned to the duty room.

At the same time, he saw a group of people approaching the walls from afar.

“So fast!” Li Yu exclaimed in surprise.

The people are from First Satellite City.

Today’s morning notice.

He had just contacted Second Uncle via radio; First Satellite City’s temporary leader Luo Shizhang said they would arrive by 4 PM.

Li Yu checked his watch: 3:50 PM.

Seems like they were earlier.

In the duty room, Second Uncle came out, followed by Li Haoran and Li Hang.

“Old Bi, Luo, He Chao, come over here. The cooperative personnel from First Satellite City are arriving soon; I need to brief you on a few things.”

In Weng City, Old Luo and others, hearing Second Uncle’s words, quickly picked up their radios to respond, “Roger, we’re coming.”

Li Yu watched Second Uncle expertly handle the situation, feeling reassured as he departed.

The new cooperative personnel were settled in the greenhouses of the First Outer City.

Given the same treatment as other old cooperative members.

Having lost so many people, hopefully, they’ll learn from it and cherish this opportunity.
