Although Dong Tianyu spoke in a very relaxed tone, Mrs. Thompson’s worried expression still appeared on her face.

Seeing Mrs. Thompson’s expression, Mr. Thompson began reassuringly, "Our son has grown up; don’t treat him like a child. He’s much stronger than both of us now."

Upon hearing Mr. Thompson’s words, Mrs. Thompson directly retorted, "No matter how strong he is, he’s still my son."

Hearing Mrs. Thompson say this, Dong Tianyu and Mr. Thompson immediately knew that it was time to move on to the next topic.

Originally, Dong Tianyu didn’t want to mention the situation at his grandfather’s, thinking to hurry up with his meal and leave quickly, but ultimately Mrs. Thompson still ended up saying,

"Son, if it’s convenient for you, could you drop some nutritional supplements off at your grandpa’s? If it’s not on your way, then never mind."

Although Mrs. Thompson said it was fine if it wasn’t on his way, it clearly wasn’t about convenience.

After Mrs. Thompson finished speaking, it became imperative for Dong Tianyu to make a ’detour’ soon, otherwise things could get complicated.

Just as Dong Tianyu was about to agree to his mother’s request, the roaring of a plane suddenly invaded the ears of the three family members. Hearing this, Dong Tianyu immediately went to the window to find out where the sound was coming from.

After reaching the window, Dong Tianyu looked up and immediately saw the box dropped from the sky by the departing plane. Although there was a parachute attached to the supply box, the heavy airdrop box still descended swiftly, even with the parachute slowing it down.

Standing behind Dong Tianyu, Mr. Thompson also saw the rapidly falling airdrop box and estimated where it would probably land. Then he promptly turned around.

Seeing his father hurry off, Dong Tianyu quickly followed and turned to say to his mother, "Mom, I’m going with dad to see what happened." After saying this, he hastened to join Mr. Thompson.

Once the two had left the house, Mr. Thompson mounted the wooden bicycle parked at the entrance. This contraption, well, apart from the bearings, including the tires, was made of wood.

Normally, the camp wouldn’t be without cars, whether electric or fueled by gas or diesel.

But no matter whether it was Mr. Thompson or other high-ranking members, they insisted on riding these camp-made wooden bicycles around the camp.

Riding these wooden bicycles was very tiring. Instead of the original bike chains, they were driven by wooden gears, and instead of rubber tires, they had solid wooden wheels.

On such a wooden bike, an ordinary person would be out of breath after just a leisurely three to five minutes of riding, let alone pedaling hard. Fortunately, Mr. Thompson, having practiced the Health-Preserving Decree taught by Dong Tianyu, had improved his physical condition to the level of a Body Tempering Realm Martial Artist, so he pedaled the bike furiously.

Dong Tianyu, however, preferred to run behind his father’s bicycle than choose another to ride from the several parked at the entrance.

Based on the estimated landing spot of the airdrop box, it should be in the inner city, and if Mr. Thompson’s estimation was accurate, the final destination would be near the plaza by the office building.

Dong Tianyu’s home wasn’t too far from the final landing spot, so it didn’t take long for the two of them to arrive at the plaza.

Meanwhile, many people in the camp had seen the airdrop box still descending in mid-air. Driven by curiosity, they all moved closer to the plaza.

At this moment, Robinson William reacted very swiftly. Leading his team, which had changed roles to become constables, he promptly sealed off the plaza and dispersed all unrelated individuals out of the area.

In reality, everyone was no fool; by now, the only entity capable of air-dropping supplies into the camp was the Imperial Court, so the intended recipient of the airdrop was obvious.

As for whether the airdrop contained explosives?

Don’t joke. There were no aliens now, and Pengcheng was also considered an inland city. Besides, who knew what state foreign countries were in now, so the vast majority understood that the contents of the descending airdrop would not include anything extremely hazardous.

At that moment, apart from Mr. Thompson, the other members of the senior group, along with the military leadership, all gathered in the plaza.

No joke, if what had fallen from the sky hadn’t been a supply airdrop box, but a cluster bomb with massive destructive power, just by exploding upon landing, it would have utterly wiped out the high-ranking officials within the campsite.

At that time, Mr. Thompson went to inquire about the situation with others, and since Dong Tianyu didn’t hold any position in the campsite, it was inconvenient for him to go over and gather intelligence.

However, as Dong Tianyu was a Foundation Building Stage Cultivator, and Mr. Thompson and his group weren’t specifically speaking in hushed tones, Dong Tianyu could still hear what Mr. Thompson and the others were talking about, even while standing in his original spot.

"Do you know what’s inside the airdrop box that fell from the sky?"

"I do know, I was on duty at the office yesterday. Luo Lao obtained it from Kyoto; it was supposed to arrive this afternoon, so I didn’t notify you all last night, thinking I would tell you during the morning meeting today."

Hearing there was someone in the know, the others immediately pressed for more,"Was it so urgent? Notified last night and delivered this morning, and it wasn’t by the original transport plane but dropped by a bomber instead.

Tsk, tsk, tsk~ I’m getting more and more curious about what’s inside."

"Luo Lao didn’t go into detail over the phone, but he did say that whatever it is, it will greatly improve the campsite’s security."

Although this statement identified the purpose of the items inside the box, it was equivalent to not saying anything at all for everyone else, so a few of them silently gave him a look that conveyed their speechlessness.

While the ordinary survivors had been dispersed around the square, the number of people who could enter the cordoned-off area was increasingly growing.

Since it was morning and not yet the normal working hours, the majority of the officials in the campsite eventually gathered here.

By this point, the airdrop box was descending lower and lower, and both the survivors inside and outside of the square had already confirmed the box’s lowest drop point, so the officials inside the square very consciously cleared that area.

When the airdrop box landed steadily on the ground, all eyes were fixed on it. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Despite the anticipation from both inside and outside the square for the airdrop box to be opened on the spot, it was clear that this simply wasn’t possible.

Although the airdrop box was an oblong container approximately five meters in length and three meters in both height and width, under Robinson William’s signal, five or six Inner Breath Realm Martial Artists came from the surroundings and lifted the airdrop box with ease. After straightening out the parachute, Robinson William led the people to carry the box away.

As people watched the airdrop box being carried away by the constables, many were somewhat annoyed, yet no one dared to grumble in front of the constables.

You should know that in these times, there was no freedom of speech like before the natural disaster, no set of civilized law enforcement. The constables in the campsite now were basically the same as those before the disaster in the land of the eagles, and all constables had the right to summarily execute.

At first, some people didn’t believe it and shoved around when the constables were enforcing the law, but after the constables killed a few people on the spot, all the troublemakers became obedient.

It was precisely for this reason that the members of certain organizations that were hiding in the campsite since its establishment saw that the constables could kill people directly, and their activities became much more cautious.

The airdrop box was carried by Robinson William to the military supplies storage zone of the campsite. This area holds most of the campsite’s ammunition, and it is under alternating duty by soldiers and constables. Ordinary people can’t even think about entering, let alone getting close. Without a valid reason, they would be immediately captured by constables and thrown into the pit of ten thousand.

The pit of ten thousand is actually a mine, which is a small coal-producing mine in Saxon County. Without mechanical aid and with the constant risk of collapse in the mine shafts, usually only criminals are sent to the pit of ten thousand.

The dangers inside the mine shafts need not be mentioned; even before the disaster, when equipment was abundant, collapses occurred from time to time. And now, without instrument assistance, the situation in the mine shafts can only be imagined.

As a high-ranking official in the campsite, Mr. Thompson certainly had the privilege to follow Robinson William into the campsites’ storage zone.

And with the support of his father, Dong Tianyu also entered the storage zone alongside Mr. Thompson.

However, with the sentries outside the gate intercepting them, another group of officials, eager to know what was in the airdrop box, was barred from entering the storage zone.
