The other person stood outside the door expressionless, then pointed in the direction of the three groups in the distance.
"I've been monitoring the movements of the three groups you asked me to keep an eye on. Just now, the people from Group One did indeed send someone to Group Three, but it seems that things didn't go very well between the two groups, and they even seemed to have a fight."
Lu Yuan glanced slightly in the direction of Group Three.
"Oh? Looks like we were found out after all! By the way, is there any other valuable information?"
"Yes! I think I just saw three groups of people carrying a bag heading to one group's campsite."
"Okay! I understand!" Lu Yuan secretly guessed.
It seems the group must be Gu Wenzhong's henchmen; I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly! They're trying to isolate us! Hah! We'll see!
Seeing that Lu Yuan remained silent, Ma Bin didn't ask any further questions, but simply asked softly.
"Should we continue monitoring?"
"Of course we need to monitor them. Not only should we monitor Group Three, but you also need to keep an eye on what Group One is doing! See if they're mixing with the disciplinary team!"
"Okay, no problem, I'll continue to monitor!"
Lu Yuan looked up at the other person. Ma Bin seemed more composed than before and less talkative. He basically answered whatever Lu Yuan asked.
In order to leave this hellish place as soon as possible, Lu Yuan specifically asked Xiwen to keep an eye on their camps, to analyze how close their connections were through their interactions.
"Um, by the way, how have you been lately? Do you feel like you're getting along with Xiwen and the others?"
Lu Yuan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, opened it, and handed one to the other person.
After taking the cigarette and lighting it, Ma Bin took a deep breath before saying, "Fortunately, Boss Xiwen has been quite considerate of us."
"That's good. In any case, we will all have a chance to return to the third phase of the underground fortress. Don't worry, everyone will have a chance."
Ma Bin nodded indifferently.
Lu Yuan actually had a pretty good impression of Ma Bin. Since he started following him, Ma Bin hadn't shown any intention of leaving and had been quite loyal to him. Lu Yuan planned to recruit him into his inner circle.
Besides his loyalty, Lu Yuan valued his other identity even more: he was a member of the black market. Moreover, Lu Yuan heard that he used to hold a relatively high position in the black market, after all, he was an old man who often went to sea.
Lu Yuan plans to gradually make contact with people in the black market and then use Ma Bin to get everyone a chance to enter the underground fortress.
Meanwhile, in a dark, gray tent, Jiao Chuang hesitated, wanting to go find Gu Wenzhong but unable to bring himself to do it. He clutched a package tightly in his hand.
The people next to him looked at him, wanting to ask, but they didn't speak, because they didn't want to go on the adventure with Jiao Chuang. However, they had lived together for so long, so they couldn't bear to see Jiao Chuang go alone.
Finally, after a long time, Jiao Chuang gritted his teeth and was about to stand up when he heard footsteps outside. He quickly stuffed the package into his quilt, and the last bit of determination that had risen within him was extinguished once again.
The people outside stopped at the tent entrance, and the dim light cast their shadows on the tent.
Suddenly, the tent flap was lifted, and Zhao Qian walked in with a slightly angry expression on his face.
"Jiao Chuang, you're fucking disrespectful."
Jiao Chuang saw that it was Zhao Qian and didn't want to pay attention to him, so he turned his head away. But the other party didn't seem to have any intention of letting him go. He walked straight up to him and pulled him up.
The people around him wanted to intervene, but seeing several others standing outside the door, they immediately abandoned their plans and decided to wait and see. If a fight were to break out, they certainly wouldn't stand idly by; they all wanted to see why Zhao Qian had come today.
Zhao Qian turned to look at the people beside him, a hint of threat in his eyes. The others avoided his gaze and ultimately chose to remain silent.
"What exactly do you mean? Didn't we agree before that you'd give me half of the stuff, and I'd save the woman for you?"
Jiao Chuang looked up at Zhao Qian and said, "You have no chance, and I don't plan to cooperate with you anymore."
"What?! You dare to go back on your word?"
"What do you mean by going back on your word? I never agreed to your request, okay? It was just you who approached me on your own. Besides, Han Wen isn't that kind of woman, and she and Lu Yuan have a pretty good relationship. You should just give up on her."
"Bullshit, I'm telling you right now, I'm going to have this woman."
"I don't care, do whatever you want, but don't blame me if something goes wrong later."
Zhao Qian gritted his teeth and shoved the other person aside hard.
"Coward, why the hell did I ever go looking for you? You must have been blind."
After saying that, Zhao Qian gritted his teeth, then waved his hand and left the tent. The others immediately surrounded Jiao Chuang, their eyes filled with concern.
"Why is this guy contacting you again? And what exactly does that woman mean, cousin?"
"Yes, why did Zhao Qian come to you? What does he want?"
"Dachang, this person doesn't seem like a good person to me. You should stay away from him."
Jiao Chuang nodded silently: "I know. This bastard has his eye on Han Wen, but how could Han Wen possibly be interested in this guy? He's Lu Yuan's confidant, how could he possibly care about such a small amount of food! He's just daydreaming!"
