They were immediately surrounded as soon as they entered the camp.

"Oh my god! What... what's wrong with him?"

"Who did this? It's so cruel! My God! Who could be so ruthless!"

"Damn it, none of you reacted at all? Your captain died at their hands! Are they cannibals?"

"..."

Everyone was talking at once, but then the camp suddenly fell silent. Everyone stood in line and stopped talking.

A tall, blond man walked over, wearing a gray-green camouflage uniform with a jacket over it, and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy!"

At that moment, several soldiers pointed to the corpse on the ground and said tremblingly, "Lieutenant Colonel, Captain Ravi has been killed!"

"What? Ravi's been killed?"

The lieutenant colonel's face darkened. He stepped forward, examined the body, and confirmed it was Ravi. His face immediately turned ashen, as if water could drip from it.

"Who did this?"

"It was...it was a small camp in the northeast corner! A few of us were ordered to collect and spread our ideas, but they stopped us. A tall, thin man on their side came up and punched Captain Ravi, and then...and then he died!"

"Damn it! What were you all doing? Just dragging the body back like that? Did you think the camp was a morgue?"

Several soldiers were verbally abused mercilessly, but none of them dared to resist.

The blond man paced back and forth a few times before finally summoning his advisor.

"Disband! Drag Baravi's body out and burn it!"

The soldiers, as if granted a pardon, immediately dragged Ravi's body to a place to burn it, while the blond man led his staff officer to his office.

"Sam, what do you think about this?"

The strategist, with his thick beard, stroked it and thought for a moment before saying, "Since they dared to make a move openly, it means they also have weapons! I just went to check on the situation, and apparently they're organizing a wedding there, with all sorts of food, including a lot of seafood!"

"Hmm? What does this prove?"

"This means they already have the ability to extract catalysts from ore! And judging from their food, the concentration of their catalysts is even higher than ours!"

“That’s right, you’ve hit the nail on the head! But our people can’t just die like this! And these guys don’t seem to have any intention of cooperating with us at all!”

"Hmph! If they're unwilling, then let's cut off their lifeline! Let's see how long they can hold out!"

"You mean to keep at it with them? But... our food supply is already in dire straits! If this continues, we'll be exposed sooner or later!"

"Don't worry, we can use our equipment to trade with them! As long as they're willing to exchange it for food, we can cooperate with them as partners. On the one hand, we can infiltrate their personnel and see if we can recruit a few spies. On the other hand, we can solve our food problem! More importantly, if we get our hands on their technology, hehe! I don't need to tell you the outcome!"

A smug smile immediately appeared on the blond man's face.

"Okay! We'll do it your way! We'll cut off his supply lines from the ground!"

After waiting for two whole days, Lu Yuan still hadn't received any news from the United States. They neither intended to use force nor lower their stance to negotiate, which left Lu Yuan somewhat puzzled.

"When did these guys become so cowardly? This can't be right!"

Lu Yuan couldn't figure it out, so he simply put the matter aside and stopped thinking about it.

Du Heng, who was injured, recovered quickly under the treatment of Lu Yuan's golden fruit, and is now able to get out of bed with crutches.

"It's okay, don't help me, I can walk!" Du Heng pushed Deng Yuanyuan aside with a look of disbelief.

Then, after taking only a couple of steps, he collapsed to the ground because he couldn't get any strength in his legs.

At this moment, Lu Yuan came in with some food and fruit. When he saw Du Heng lying on the ground in such an embarrassing state, he immediately understood what had happened.

"Old Du, your injury hasn't healed yet, so you should just stay in bed!"

"Ugh! I can't stand lying here! I'm cooped up here all day long, I'm covered in lice! And there's nothing to do to relieve my boredom!"

Just then, the sound of several children making a fuss came from outside.

"No, no, no! Let me play for a while! It's my turn!"

"I haven't had enough fun yet! You have to let me finish before we talk!"

Hearing the commotion at the door, Lu Yuan lifted the curtain to teach them a lesson, only to see several teenagers lying on the ground holding a brand-new game console.

Lu Yuan didn't care much about the games mentioned above, but he knew about this kind of game console. It was only sold in Lighthouse, and even after spending so much time with them, Lu Yuan had never seen these kids have such a good thing.

"Where did you get this handheld console from?" Lu Yuan asked casually.

The slightly older children, seeing that it was Lu Yuan asking the question, quickly said, "Uncle Lu, a foreigner opened a general store outside the valley. It has everything. You can exchange food for it!"

"What? A general store? Run by foreigners? When did that happen? How come I didn't know about it?"

"It just opened today! There's so much stuff inside!"

Lu Yuan was puzzled for a moment about what these foreigners were up to. Were they just going to ignore the matter of revenge? Could it be some kind of conspiracy?
