After saying that, Lu Yuan waved to the people around him: "Alright! Stop just standing there! Come and get your food!"
Hearing Lu Yuan's shout, everyone had been waiting anxiously, and soon a large crowd gathered around him.
With a "rip," the backpack was opened, revealing a large pile of various meats and grains. Everyone's eyes gleamed, and they stared at the food on the ground like hungry wolves.
Zhou Tong stood there, completely stunned.
"This...how is this possible? They eat the worst kind of shit in their own camp, how could they possibly lend us such good food?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Tong stared at Lu Yuan's back for a long time.
"Could it be... that he stole it? But the enemy camp is so heavily guarded, how did he manage that? Impossible, their camp definitely wouldn't have such good food. Even a team leader like Liu Dafa wouldn't get to eat this kind of food, there's no way they would lend it to us!"
However, Zhou Tong didn't ask immediately. Instead, he helped maintain order, divided the food, and started cooking.
Soon, the camp was filled with the rich aroma of meat, and the rice, roasted over a large fire, also emitted a strong fragrance. Everyone held their bowls and chopsticks and waited in front of them.
Meanwhile, in one of the camps, a few shifty-eyed men, looking through their binoculars, witnessed what was happening and were quite shocked. They quickly ran to a brand-new tent to report the situation.
"What? They've eaten? How is that possible? Where did they get their food?"
So the observer quickly told the other party everything he had just seen.
A flash of annoyance crossed Jiang Mingxuan's eyes: "Damn it! I never expected to forget about Group Three! Oh right, you guys take some men and go to Group Three later. Make sure they cut off all contact with Group Seven! Otherwise, they'll be our enemies from now on! Go!"
The assistant beside him quickly nodded and left. Jiang Mingxuan pulled open the tent flap and looked towards the Seventh Group's camp: "Hmph! I'll see how you guys continue to survive! Let me give you a meal first!"
At this moment, the food problem in Lu Yuan's camp was solved. Although the amount of food he brought was not much, it tasted much better than the protein blocks they had eaten before. Moreover, the food Lu Yuan brought this time was enough for about three days. In other words, Lu Yuan would have to find another way after three days, otherwise he might go hungry.
After finishing his meal, Lu Yuan prepared to leave, but then he saw Zhou Tong.
"Ahem! Brother, where did you get all this food from?"
Lu Yuan glanced at the other person: "Of course it was borrowed from Group Three!"
"real?"
"Yes! Really! You don't believe me?"
Zhou Tong rolled his eyes: "Are you hiding something from me? I've already seen what the people in Group Three are eating. Even their group leader is eating those smelly protein cubes. How could they possibly lend us this kind of meat and fish? Did you get it from some other source?"
Lu Yuan was taken aback. It seemed that Zhou Tong would definitely not accept this reason. However, Lu Yuan could not tell the other party his secret. So he pondered for a while and then looked around.
"Brother Zhou, come with me to the tent!"
The other person nodded and followed behind Lu Yuan.
After checking his surroundings again, Lu Yuan whispered, "This thing was actually sold to me by someone on the black market! He's in Group Three!"
"What? People from the black market? You mean Group Three has people from the black market?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! His identity can't be revealed. He wants to leave this place, which is why I contacted him. I promised to help him get out of here, that's why he's providing food!"
Zhou Tong nodded slightly, but he still felt that it wasn't that simple.
"Alright, Brother Zhou, the fewer people who know about this, the better. It's also to protect the people in the black market. After all, they're like rats in the street now! The people in the underground fortress wish they could catch them all and kill them!"
"Okay! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone! But will we have to get all our food from him from now on?"
"Yes! That's right! He's prepared everything for us! We don't need to worry!"
"Phew! That's good! Alright, I'll get back to work now! Oh, by the way, Du Heng just got back!"
Lu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go find Du Heng! Brother Zhou, you should get some rest too!"
When Lu Yuan arrived at Du Heng's tent, Du Heng was eating. When he saw Lu Yuan come in, he was about to put down his chopsticks, but Lu Yuan waved his hand gently.
"Alright, you keep eating, I'll just ask."
"Okay! You sit down first, Brother Lu! Honey, pour some water for Brother Lu!"
Deng Yuanyuan knew what Du Heng meant, so she nodded and left the tent, pulling the tent flap closed as she went.
"How is it? Any news?"
Du Heng nodded: "He bribed a henchman with a few packs of cigarettes, and he said he did see Jiang Mingxuan from Group One sneaking into our camp! But he said he couldn't testify for us!"
"Why? Is there not enough food?"
"No, he said the disciplinary team has no connection with the project team, so they won't clash with the project team, nor are they willing to do so, no matter how much they're offered!"
"Holy crap! That's direct? Fine! Looks like we can't resolve this openly!"
Lu Yuan bit his chin and said fiercely.
