C378 Abnormal Situation
"Hehe, is Dr Shen suspicious?"
Cai Mingguo saw Dr Shen and Wang Yi whispering to each other and immediately opened his mouth to speak.
"There are some that I don't understand …"
Dr Shen pointed at Elder Duan and a few of the Regiment members.
"Is that so?" Cai Mingguo patted Elder Duan's shoulder, and on his face that was always serious, there was actually a hint of pride.
"Logically speaking, there are not that many soldiers in the army, but Elder Duan is different."
Cai Mingguo took a mouthful of food and continued.
"Elder Duan and I have been in the military for the same year. It's already the twenty-fourth year this year. The next few regimental cadres are all soldiers led by Elder Duan. How could they dare to disrespect Elder Duan?"
"Hey! What are you talking about? "
Elder Duan shook his head, his wrinkled face was full of glory.
"Squad Leader Duan had given up his youth for this land, but in the end, he could only watch himself …"
A middle-aged military officer who was shouldering two stars with two bars on his back had a worried look on his face, but he could not carry on any further.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's hurry up and eat some food. After we finish eating, we'll head out immediately. We should be able to reach the Weishan Lake by tomorrow morning."
Cai Mingguo stared at the officer with slight dissatisfaction, causing the officer to tremble in fear. He lowered his head and ate his meal, not daring to say another word.
Perhaps it was because of Elder Duan's sadness, but in the following time, it was abnormally quiet. Everyone on the table was stupefied as they ate, and the soldiers scattered throughout the valley gathered together in a group. The leader did not say anything, so they naturally did not dare to say much.
"Hmm?"
Wang Yi frowned. This quiet feeling made Wang Yi feel extremely uneasy.
"That's right! Elder Duan, where did that little boy go? "
Cai Mingguo suddenly spoke out, interrupting Wang Yi's train of thoughts.
"What boy?"
Dr Shen asked in confusion.
"Among the people we saved before, there was a little boy." Cai Mingguo explained slightly as he looked towards Elder Duan who was eating with his head held low.
"I will hand them over to Seventh Company. They are all over there."
Elder Duan pointed towards a place slightly further away from the valley. Rows of armored vehicles parked neatly on one side while a group of soldiers and civilians gathered in front of the cars to eat.
"Go get that little boy."
Cai Mingguo furrowed his brows, thinking back to the appearance of that little boy yesterday. His parents had passed away, but he was still as strong as ever.
"Alright." Elder Duan put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and was about to walk over.
"Wait, old class monitor, it's better if I go."
The middle-aged regiment leader immediately called out to Elder Duan and ran towards him.
They waited for less than a minute before the middle-aged regiment commander walked over with a small boy in tow.
"Who is he?" Wang Yi glanced at the boy and a thoughtful expression flashed across his eyes.
"Wang Yi, you know him?" Dr Shen immediately asked when he saw Wang Yi staring at the boy.
"I don't know him."
Wang Yi shook his head. However, his perfunctory intention clearly made Dr Shen feel it.
"Who is this little boy? Why does Wang Yi say that?"
Women's intuition was always accurate. Wang Yi's performance made Dr Shen feel that this little boy was related to Wang Yi.
As the two of them walked closer, Dr Shen scrutinized the little boy's face. His big eyes were exceptionally intelligent and his small face was filled with stubbornness.
"Come here, Shuang!"
Cai Mingguo revealed a rare smile, pulling Shuang to his side, and stretched out his hand to stroke the top of Shuang's head.
"This child is rather pitiful. Even when his parents went out to look for food, there was still no news." Cai Mingguo sighed as he spoke, then took the bowl and chopsticks that Cai Yao had prepared and placed it in Shuang's hands.
"Just follow me from now on." Cai Mingguo had already noticed this stubborn child.
"Thank you, Uncle Cai." Shuang opened his mouth but no fear could be seen on his face. He casually found an empty seat and squeezed himself in front of the table.
"Hur hur, this child."
Elder Duan couldn't help but smile. Soldiers get married late. If his children were still around, they would be around the same age as Shuang.
"Wang Yi, Wang Yi."
Dr Shen retracted his gaze and saw that Wang Yi was still staring at Shuang. In his eyes, there were actually tears.
"What's the matter with you?" Dr Shen asked in confusion.
"Oh, no, nothing." Wang Yi came back to his senses and secretly wiped the corner of his eyes.
Shuang, the child who was saved by Wang Yi from the corpses in his previous life. Wang Yi thought that he would never meet him in this life, but who would have thought that they would meet here.
In his previous life, when Wang Yi saved Shuang, Shuang was already 15 or 16 years old. Now, he should be around 13 years old. Although his age doesn't match, in his previous life, Wang Yi only saved Shuang a few years after the outbreak of the apocalypse.
Thinking up to this point, memories gushed into his mind like spring water. Until now, Wang Yi could still clearly remember the tearful scene of Shuang in his previous life.
"Why is he here, and why is he being saved by Cai Mingguo?"
This was what Wang Yi was puzzled about.
Wang Yi had pretty much forgotten about the scene of how he saved Shuang in his previous life, but Wang Yi remembered that he saved Shuang near the provincial capital in his previous life. And now, everyone was located near the Weishan Lake, they weren't even in the same place!
"Could it be that my rebirth has changed something?"
Wang Yi pondered, and subconsciously looked at Cai Mingguo.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that! "
Wang Yi's thoughts were suddenly clear. Shuang was saved by Cai Mingguo, so he was left beside Cai Mingguo, and the place where Cai Mingguo was killed by Jin Tiande was near that Lu Province's capital!
Thus, Shuang's presence near the capital of the Lu Province was reasonable.
"So that's how it is."
Wang Yi could not help but nod his head, as his gaze continued to size up Shuang and Cai Mingguo.2
"What's wrong, Little Wang? What's wrong?"
Cai Mingguo felt Wang Yi's peculiar gaze, and couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, nothing."
Wang Yi shook his head and did not say much. Shuang was currently under Cai Mingguo and Wang Yi could not recognize him, nor could he recognize him. After all, Wang Yi would not mention the matter of his rebirth to anyone.
Perhaps it was Shuang's sudden appearance that made Wang Yi a little flustered. He didn't feel anything unusual in the valley at all.
"Weng..."
A faint noise came from the valley, as if it was caused by an insect flapping its wings. It was abnormally weak, so weak that if someone was not paying attention, they would not even be able to hear it.
In the middle of the lake, the turbid mist gradually expanded, as if a drop of ink had fallen into a basin and was slowly spreading.
"Hua la!"
The tranquil water surface suddenly had a splash, attracting the attention of the two soldiers standing guard by the lake.
"Squad leader, look."
The new recruit with the rank of private pointed at the rippling lake surface, and with a surprised expression, he pulled at the squad leader's sleeve.
