Chapter 283: Are there still scammers these days?

More accurately, he was drawn in by the lights of Liang Yu’s Water Park.

A bold idea immediately formed in his mind: it wasn’t impossible to return to his old profession.

This argumentative Survivor was currently considering the feasibility of the matter.

At the same time, he realized his body was not right; he began to shiver uncontrollably, and his upper and lower jaws clattered non-stop.

His breathing also became rapid, and with each inhalation of air, he felt his body grow colder.

It was only at this point that he remembered how other Survivors at the foot of the mountain had advised him, but he hadn’t listened, instead coming up to the summit.

Seeing that he would freeze to death if he continued, he had no choice but to use the quickest and most convenient method to get back down the mountain.

The man covered his head with both hands, lay stiffly on the ice, and rolled downwards.

Soon after, this argumentative Survivor, dragging his battered body, left the ice mountain at its foot and slowly disappeared into the night.

Three hours later, the man returned to the vicinity of the ice mountain; this time, he was prepared, having made ample preparations during that time.

Quickly, the man followed his memory to the edge of the wall, just as he was wondering how to strike up a conversation with the people inside.

As luck would have it, a pillow appeared just when he was sleepy, and the person who discovered him was not Mario, but Liang Yu.

In an instant, Liang Yu had him locked on, and a rifle appeared in his hand, aimed at the man’s head.

“Stop!”

“Go back or die!”

Liang Yu’s warning came from inside the wall.

The man, who had been deep in thought, was suddenly startled, but he quickly recovered from the shock.

He immediately introduced himself.

“Hello, sir, please allow me to introduce myself.”

“I am the official commissioner, Qian Youdao.”

“I’ve come this time mainly for the official rescue effort three days from now.”

Liang Yu was initially stunned upon hearing Qian Youdao’s words, then he laughed.

This was the biggest joke Liang Yu had ever heard: official personnel coming?

Don’t be ridiculous; he had observed them since he launched the Satellite.

Now, all the official forces were concentrated together, having established a Survivor base in the Capital, and that so-called Tinder Plan was still being executed.

Moreover, putting aside other issues, just considering the distance, it’s over two thousand kilometers from here to the Capital; in three days, it’s impossible to get here unless a helicopter is dispatched.

So, the problem arises: the fuel consumption required for a helicopter’s round trip is a huge expense, and it can’t carry many people, so it’s not realistic.

Clearly, this Qian Youdao in front of him was undoubtedly a swindler.

And not just an ordinary swindler, but an audacious one, who dared to try and deceive him, Liang.

He immediately wanted to shoot the other party dead, but Liang Yu thought about it and realized that would be too easy for Qian Youdao.

Liang Yu had no intention of letting this swindler die so easily and escape; he immediately thought of an idea.

Qian Youdao noticed that Liang Yu hadn’t responded for so long, making him feel a bit flustered, but leaving would indeed be unwilling.

Liang Yu’s place was clearly overflowing with resources; just getting a little would be enough for him to enjoy for a while.

Just as he was about to play hard to get, he heard Liang Yu’s reply.

“Official personnel, huh?”

“You say you’re official personnel.”

Liang Yu deliberately drew out his words.

“Then tell me, what evidence do you have to prove your identity?”

Upon hearing Liang Yu’s reply, the anxiety in Qian Youdao’s heart finally subsided.

What swindlers feared most was the other party ignoring them, as there would be no opportunity to act in such a situation, but now Liang Yu had given him such a chance.

This made Qian Youdao secretly pleased, thinking that a turning point had arrived, and he quickly said:

“Proving my identity is actually not difficult.”

“How about this, is it convenient for you to come out?”

“I have a Satellite phone, which can allow you to contact the officials.”

Qian Youdao was actually lying; he had no Satellite phone, it was just a radio with an altered appearance, and the other radio was in his accomplice’s hand.

He dared to take it out because he was gambling, gambling that Liang Yu wouldn’t come out, or gambling that he didn’t recognize a Satellite phone and couldn’t distinguish that the one in his hand was fake.

Therefore, Liang Yu also became curious; the other party actually dared to take out a Satellite phone for him, and this action made Liang Yu realize that he had accomplices.

After pinching the bridge of his nose, Liang Yu yawned and said indifferently:

“Alright, I’m too lazy to make that call.”

“Tell me your purpose for coming this time.”

Indeed, Liang Yu was just as Qian Youdao had guessed, the kind of person who was easy to fool, so his confidence in deceiving Liang Yu grew.

“It’s like this, we’re offering only one spot per household to be taken back to the base by the officials.”

“If other spots are needed, they must be exchanged for supplies.”

“Ah!!!”

Suddenly, Qian Youdao heard a groan from Liang Yu.

This was Liang Yu expelling carbon dioxide from his body after drinking a can of soda.

Two or three more minutes passed like this, and Qian Youdao still hadn’t received a reply from Liang Yu; he began to get a little anxious.

In Qian Youdao’s view, it shouldn’t be like this.

Normally, knowing about official rescue and being able to be taken back to a Survivor base was a huge blessing, much better than being outside; at the very least, once inside, the officials wouldn’t let you starve to death.

But this isn’t right!

Liang Yu’s reaction was even somewhat indifferent, which was not an exaggeration. Just as Qian Youdao began to doubt himself, Liang Yu hit the nail on the head with a sentence.

“Commissioner Qian, right.”

“How do you determine that there’s only one household here?”

“Are we not allowed to have several households living together, huddling for warmth?”

This question was already within Qian Youdao’s expectations, so he answered it easily.

“There’s a rule from above: as long as people are gathered together, it counts as one household.”

“Of course, it’s not without a solution.”

“As I just said, getting a spot is simple: as long as you can provide supplies, you’ll get a spot.”

Hearing that the other party was already losing his composure, Liang Yu sneered.

“Then why did you come alone? That’s not according to the rules, is it?”

“As far as I know, usually it’s two people per group, but you’re only one person.”

Cold sweat began to break out on Qian Youdao’s forehead; he had indeed overlooked this point, as he didn’t want to find a third person, since an extra person meant having to share more supplies.

He could only bite the bullet and explain to Liang Yu.

“I was also going to other areas to notify others.”

Liang Yu scoffed inwardly but feigned a thoughtful expression on his face.
