Xiao Yuxia turned her gaze toward Zhang Bihuang beside her, her mind racing.
Who knew what corners of the world the remaining members of the Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School Convoy had been scattered to?
They were probably searching everywhere for them like mad.
Even if they really had nowhere left to turn in the future and had to join Mechanical City.
They still had to find Shang Kai, Zhang Wenyuan, and the others first.
Xiao Yuxia drew a deep breath and gathered her words. "I won't join for now. I got separated from my convoy. I need to find my teammates first."
No sooner had she finished than she saw a glint flash through the Second Elder's cloudy old eyes.
"So you aren't from the same convoy."
The Second Elder seized on her words, his tone carrying an unpleasant scrutiny.
Xiao Yuxia's heart lurched, and she looked at Cao Xianming again.
Cao Xianming answered immediately. "We are from the same convoy."
"It's just that she got separated from her original convoy and temporarily joined our Survival Convoy."
His tone was even.
"Oh, I see."
The Second Elder stroked his sparsely bearded chin, looking thoughtful.
After two seconds of silence, he spoke again, his voice sounding casual. "Young lady, what was your previous convoy called?"
Xiao Yuxia's expression changed instantly.
A bad feeling shot up her back, cold as it crept along her spine.
Only one thought kept turning over in her mind...
Was he planning to use the other members of the Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School Convoy to threaten her?
Would those people become bargaining chips the moment she gave him the name?
Watching her face suddenly tense, the Second Elder abruptly gave a hearty laugh.
The laughter echoed through the spacious dining hall, inexplicably raising goose bumps.
