"Oh! Brother, you've misunderstood. How could this be considered bribery? That's too harsh a word! I'm just expressing my gratitude! I didn't intend for you to do anything for us!"
The other person stared into Lu Yuan's eyes and found that he really didn't have any other thoughts, so he looked up at the teammate next to him.
"Ahem! Go outside and keep an eye on things, just in case something goes wrong again!"
The young soldier instantly understood what he meant, grabbed his gun, turned around and left, glancing back at the backpack on the table as he looked back.
Seeing his teammates leave, the captain immediately revealed his true colors.
"Kid, you're trying to drag me down with you!"
Lu Yuan quickly shook his head: "Brother, you've really misunderstood! How could I do that! These things are really just to express my gratitude!"
"Alright! Stop beating around the bush! Just tell me! What do you want? Let me make this clear first, I won't allow anything that violates the rules, and you'd better not mention it!"
Lu Yuan was overjoyed and quickly leaned closer to whisper, "Big brother, I just want to ask about something!"
The other person looked at Lu Yuan: "Inquiring about something?"
"That's right! It's just a simple little thing!"
The other party sneered: "A small matter? Let me tell you, anything you don't know is not a small matter!"
Lu Yuan cursed inwardly.
That old fox is really damn vigilant!
However, he still wore a smile: "Yes, yes, it's a big deal for us, but for someone as important as you, it's definitely a small matter!"
After being flattered so much by Lu Yuan, the other party showed a satisfied expression, stubbed out his cigarette, and then took out a cigarette from Lu Yuan's bag, opened it, and lit it.
Wisps of smoke slowly rose, and a satisfied expression appeared on the face of the squad leader.
"call!"
Thick smoke was exhaled by the other person, and the whole small house was filled with a faint smell of tobacco.
"Speak! What is it?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, I just want to know if there's any way to change jobs!"
The other person immediately took the cigarette out of their mouth, and a flash of anger crossed their eyes.
"You fucking mess with me!"
Lu Yuan quickly stopped him from getting up.
"Brother, don't rush! Let me finish!"
The other person then stopped, but their expression remained extremely angry.
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll think you're provoking me and making fun of me! Then, hmph! Don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Here's the thing, there's been some friction between our Group 7 and Group 1, and it's getting increasingly intense. They're always trying to cause us trouble, whether intentionally or unintentionally! A few days ago, they destroyed all our food! This is our last remaining food!"
Lu Yuan paused for a moment, then glanced at the other person; the squad leader's expression seemed to have softened somewhat.
"So, I'm going to take my revenge!"
"Hmm? Revenge? You're going to kill someone?" The squad leader's tone was tinged with wariness.
"No, no, no, of course I wouldn't cause you any trouble! I certainly wouldn't do anything like murder. I'm not ready to leave the underground fortress yet!"
"Hmph! You know that's good! You'd better not make us take action, or you'll know what despair is!"
"I intend to give them a taste of their own medicine, and I hope you, brother, will..."
At this point, Lu Yuan paused again.
The other person stroked their chin and pondered for a moment.
When do you plan to make your move?
"Tomorrow morning!"
The other person nodded: "Yeah, we're on the last shift tomorrow morning, so I'll be really busy! You better not cause me any trouble! Got it?"
Lu Yuan quickly nodded: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely keep things in check and won't cause you any trouble!"
"Okay! That's good! By the way, didn't you say you wanted to leave here and find a new job? But you also want revenge? That's two demands!"
As he spoke, the other person reached out and patted the bag.
Damn it! This wolf is never satisfied!
Lu Yuan cursed inwardly, but still smiled and said, "Brother, this is just a small gift. There will be many more good things for you later!"
Upon hearing this, the other person raised an eyebrow and leaned slightly forward towards Lu Yuan: "Tell me, what good stuff is it?"
Lu Yuan then quietly took a scale from his pocket and stuffed it into the other person's hand.
"This thing will definitely get you out of here!"
The other person felt the coldness in their hand, looked down, and was stunned to find it was a fish scale.
What is this?
"Fish scales!"
"Hmm? What kind of good stuff is this? We used to have plenty of fish scales here! Could this be the good stuff you're talking about?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "Of course not. As far as I know, anyone who wants to enter the middle level of the third-phase underground fortress has to contribute something, such as some mutated biological samples or mutated plant seeds, or at the very least, something else that has research value!"
"Of course I know that, everyone knows that!"
The other person paused, then looked at the scale in their hand again: "Could it be that you mean... this is a scale from a mutated creature?"
“That’s right! The black market was attacked by a giant beast at sea. I was looking for food on the beach when I found this scale on a piece of broken deck. I originally planned to use this scale to enter the underground fortress, but this happened unexpectedly. I was forced to enter the fourth-phase underground fortress. But this thing is basically useless to me now. But you are the captain of the disciplinary team, brother. Maybe if you submit this scale, you can get promoted and even have a chance to enter the third-phase underground fortress!”
