Just as Dong Tianyu had anticipated, when he used Divine Sense the next day to observe the other person again, their mental state was poor, clearly having been frightened and slept badly the night before.

Seeing the other’s weary face, a triumphant smile appeared on Dong Tianyu’s face.

The scale of this camp was about the same as the Saxon County Camp before the merger and expansion, with a permanent population of roughly two to three thousand people.

Because the camp was not large, there was a high probability that the survivors inside all knew each other, so Dong Tianyu entering rashly would definitely be noticed.

Therefore, Dong Tianyu was considering whether to enter invisibly or to boldly enter the camp in plain sight.

After giving it some thought, Dong Tianyu eventually decided to enter the camp openly through the main gate.

With this in mind, Dong Tianyu once again shouldered his ever-present Pandora backpack and boldly walked from the woods toward the camp’s main entrance.

As soon as Dong Tianyu left the forest, the observer on the camp’s watchtower spotted his figure and signaled the camp’s guard with a flag, alerting them to the visit of a stranger.

The guards below, seeing the signal from the watchtower, immediately became alert; however, at this time, it was not like in novels where people mistrusted each other.

Anyway, when the planes from Kyoto first came out, Kyoto arranged for pilots to fly across the country, informing all survivors that the order of China still existed.

Furthermore, when China sent communication satellites back up into space, the pilots immediately air-dropped satellite phones to each discovered Survivor Camp. Although land transportation could not be restored for the time being, communications were essentially unimpeded.

Once all camps had resumed basic communications, the Imperial Court also roughly controlled the situation in the different regions of China during the disaster.

However, for a small camp like the one Dong Tianyu was visiting this time, it probably only had two or three satellite phones obtained from the airdrop.

They did not have a fixed Waterway established with Kyoto like Pengcheng, and Kyoto’s plane might never have even landed at this camp.

As Dong Tianyu approached the camp’s gate, the camp guards watched him warily but did not raise their weapons to aim at him.

This, in fact, showed that a basic trust still existed between people, and society still maintained a fundamental operational order.

When Dong Tianyu reached the camp’s gate, the camp also sent a representative out to make contact with him.

"Hello, my name is Jameson. May I ask if you’re just passing by, or did you come here for something specific?"

Surprised by the other’s straightforward query, Dong Tianyu was taken aback, as it was customary in China to exchange pleasantries before discussing specific matters.

However, Dong Tianyu didn’t hide anything in response to the direct question, "I’m here specifically to find someone at your camp."

Hearing this, Jameson immediately asked, "A relative? Or..."

Although Jameson didn’t finish his sentence, Dong Tianyu knew what he left unsaid. At such a time, there were only two types of people for whom one would risk venturing through mountains and waters to find.

One type was a closely related relative.

The other type was an enemy, bearing a grievance so deep it couldn’t be shared under the same sky.

"Neither, I’m here to find a friend."

Hearing Dong Tianyu’s answer, Jameson didn’t believe him at all, as at this point in time, leaving one’s own camp to go to another required considerable risk.

Jameson couldn’t believe someone would face the many unknown dangers of the wilderness just to search for a friend.

However, since Dong Tianyu said he came to find a friend, Jameson could only continue to ask, following Dong Tianyu’s claim, "Could you tell me the name of the person you’re looking for?"

Upon being asked, Dong Tianyu suddenly faltered. In his eagerness to find the person, he had forgotten that he didn’t actually know their name.

Seeing Dong Tianyu at a loss for words, Jameson’s expression became guarded immediately.

After all, Dong Tianyu claimed he was here to find a friend, but now he couldn’t even directly name the friend he was seeking.

Noticing Jameson’s tense demeanor, Dong Tianyu knew there might be a misunderstanding, so he quickly explained, "I truly am here to find a friend. Although I don’t yet know his name, I’m certain he is inside the camp. If you let me in, I should be able to find him quickly." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Hearing Dong Tianyu’s explanation, Jameson’s guarded look become even more serious. The more Dong Tianyu spoke, the less Jameson could guess his purpose for coming to their camp.

Regardless of Dong Tianyu’s intention, to ensure the safety of their camp, Jameson definitely could not allow Dong Tianyu, a stranger with unknown origins, to enter.

This was a common issue of small camps; they conducted rigorous inspections of survivors entering and leaving to maintain stability within the camp.

As the scale of a camp grew, due to the higher number of survivors, the inspections for entering and exiting would become much less stringent.

"If you are here to find someone, please provide the specific name or other details of the person you want to find. I will ask them to come out to see you, but unless you have someone to vouch for you, I won’t let you into the camp."

Hearing Jameson’s words, Dong Tianyu didn’t say much else, just expanded his Divine Sense to scan the camp, confirming that Jameson was one of the few with the highest Cultivation Level in that camp.
