"Yes! This thing is valuable, but it's useless to us now! You should keep it for us!"
"Okay, let's all go together. We'll figure out what to do when we get to the underground fortress! I'm often forgetful, so don't lose it if I leave it to you!"
"Lu Yuan, don't refuse, just take it! Didn't you promise to help Sister Han Wen find her child? You can't go back on your word!"
Lu Yuan fell silent for a moment, and in the end, he could only take back his identity token.
"Alright! I'll keep it for you for now. You can come find me whenever you need it! I'll keep it for you!"
Then there were three identity cards left. Lu Yuan looked at Zhou Tong and Du Heng.
"There are only three identity cards left now. Does anyone want to leave?"
Du Heng glanced at the identity card on the table and shook his head: "I think I'll pass. We've known each other for so long, we're practically brothers. I don't think having an identity card is very useful. Once you're in, I'll be just as good!"
Zhou Tong shrugged: "I think similarly to Du Heng. Anyway, I'm planning to stick with you for life. Wherever you go, we'll go. Besides, Grandma and Grandpa both like our Xiao Chen. I feel at ease with them watching over her. It is indeed a bit dangerous for a grown man like me to take a minor sister out in the world!"
After everyone expressed their opinions, Lu Yuan felt somewhat helpless. He hadn't given away any of the eight identity tokens, which was beyond his expectations. It seemed that these people were all his most loyal friends.
"Alright, since you don't want to take it, I'll leave it here for now. If any of you want to leave later, you can come find me, but it's first come, first served. That's the only guarantee I can give you!"
Du Heng smiled and said, "I guess I probably won't need it, and Yuanyuan probably won't need it either!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan and his group drove towards the camp. Their vehicle was now loaded with a whole truckload of ice, enough for them to use for a long time.
Moreover, they had two full tanks of fuel, enough for them to get back to their camp, and even if they had to go around the rift valley, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Along the way, everyone's thoughts were focused on Taiping Prefecture. After all, there was a human settlement there, and everyone wanted to go and see it. It was human territory, which was better than being stuck on this deserted island.
Just as the car arrived at the camp, Zhou Tong suddenly pointed ahead and said, "There seem to be a few people up ahead!"
Lu Yuan paused for a moment, glanced ahead, and looked through the bright lights. Near the entrance of the western camp, several people were waving flags, seemingly trying to stop them.
So Lu Yuan asked Zhou Tong to park the car a short distance away, and then jumped out of the car and walked over to the other person.
Only then did he realize that the person who had arrived was Qi Liang, with four or five people behind him, who seemed to be waiting for him.
With a hint of wariness, Lu Yuan stepped forward and asked, "Qi Liang, what are you trying to do?"
Qi Liang rubbed his face, which was already frozen, and gave an awkward smile: "Um... there's something I wanted to talk to you about!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the other person, then looked at the car behind him, and waved to Zhou Tong, who immediately drove the car to their residence.
"Speak, what is it?"
Qi Liang rubbed his hands together, unsure where to begin. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke: "Well... we have a traitor on our side who attacked your camp a while ago. But don't worry, he's dead! Your family wasn't hurt either. It's just that your old man is guarding outside every day and doesn't give us a chance to explain! So I wanted to tell you in advance, in case you misunderstand!"
Lu Yuan's face immediately showed a hint of annoyance: "Damn it, are you showing off your achievements to me?"
Qi Liang quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just wanted to tell you that this matter has nothing to do with us! And..."
At this point, Qi Liang paused for a few moments and looked at the car behind Lu Yuan.
"I have a favor to ask! I'm not sure if I should say it!"
Lu Yuan sneered: "Since you know it's inappropriate to say it, then don't say it!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan turned to get into the car, but Qi Liang saw this and immediately stepped forward to stop him: "No, no, no, I really have something I want to ask you!"
"Then hurry up and tell me, I don't have time to chat with you right now!"
"Ahem, well, we heard you went to the glacier to collect ice these past few days, so... we'd like to trade some ice with you!"
"Trade some ice with me? Qi Liang, aren't you overthinking this? This ice took us a lot of effort to get. If you want it yourselves, you can go get it yourself!"
Qi Liang immediately looked bitter: "No, Boss Lu, look, we haven't had any misunderstandings before, we've been cooperating well, we've kept to ourselves, and we're all living in the same camp, so please help us!"
"You all have hands and feet, why don't you go and fetch water yourselves? How dare you even say that you're eyeing our little bit of water? Besides, we don't even have enough water for ourselves right now, there's no way we can give it to you!"
Qi Liang gritted his teeth, then waved to the people behind him. Several people immediately carried several large boxes to Lu Yuan: "We can trade. These things are some gold we scavenged from other camps, as well as some weapons and ammunition. If you don't mind, we can exchange them for some water. Really, so many people are dying in the camp every day. If this continues, we really can't hold on any longer!"
Seeing the other party's earnest expression, Lu Yuan waved his hand impatiently: "Let's talk about this later, I'm going back first!"
