C697 Little Maple
"You are …"
As the officer wiped the charcoal off Hu Meng's face, a familiar face was revealed.
"Hu …"
The military officer screamed in surprise and immediately covered his mouth with his hand. At this moment, Wang Yi and the others also squatted down.
The purpose of doing this was to allow the body to be immersed in battle at any time.
Fortunately, the officer stopped shouting just in time.
"Boss, what happened?"
A soldier who saw the sweat on the officer's forehead could not help but ask.
"No, nothing."
The military officer shook his head. He looked at Hu Meng's face and pointed at Wang Yi and the others as he spoke.
"I have checked them. They have clean identities and their bodies are weak. It is not suitable for them to go down to the mine. Let them go in."
As the military officer said this, he waved his hand and the soldiers immediately opened up a path for Wang Yi and the others.
"Right, the gathering area is very dangerous. If you guys can avoid trouble, then don't cause trouble."
The military officer shouted at the back of Wang Yi and the others before turning around. As if nothing had happened, he continued to patrol the area for survivors.
"Hu Meng, why did he let you go just now?"
Wang Yi approached Hu Meng and said with a puzzled expression.
Logically speaking, the gathering place had already been controlled by Wang Daqiang. If the soldiers inside discover Hu Meng, they should be the first to make a move.
"That officer, I once saved his life."
Hu Meng said with a sigh. He had done it unintentionally, but today, he had safely returned to the gathering place. It could be considered a form of retribution.
"Alright, let's go in."
Wang Yi nodded and didn't ask anything else. He went through the gate first and entered the gathering place. The others followed him in a hurry.
The space inside the coal mining site wasn't too big, but it was a main street with a few tall buildings beside it. The remaining buildings were the buildings built by the survivors.
It was a mess.
This was Wang Yi's first impression of the gathering place. Even if it was a Grand Green Mountain gathering place, after this period of management, it was still many times better than the environment of this gathering place.
Furthermore, the pedestrians on the streets were completely different.
Although the Grand Green Mountain gathering grounds had a large population, everyone was filled with hope for the future. As for the people here, they were more like zombies, wearing shabby and dirty clothes, as though they had no souls, and walked aimlessly on the streets.
Wang Yi and the others observed for a moment and started to follow this person's numbing facial expression. They strolled casually on the street and quickly blended into the crowd.
"Bro Yi, I don't think anyone is following us."
After a moment, Wei Ping looked at the crowd behind him and said.
Wang Yi had to be careful because he was recognized by someone at the entrance of the gathering place. The reason he was walking around on the street was to avoid the possibility of someone following him, otherwise, Wang Yi wouldn't be able to let it go.
"Alright."0
Wang Yi nodded and said to Hu Meng.
"Didn't you say that there were still brothers here? Now you can take us to settle down. "
"Yes, Bro Yi."
Hu Meng adapted quickly and started to call Wang Yi Bro Yi. This was what Wang Yi wanted to see. Only by doing this could Wang Yi become more subtle and make Hu Meng think that he was Wang Yi's subordinate.
"Follow me."
Hu Meng looked around and, seeing that none of the soldiers had noticed, he immediately led the group to an alley. After turning and turning, they stopped in front of a two-story wooden building.
This small building was located in a remote area. If one were to walk any further, they would reach the wall. Moreover, there were no soldiers holding hands. If there was any danger, they could just jump over the wall and escape.
"Dong Dong Dong …"
Hu Meng knocked on the door softly and put his ear against it.
After a while, light footsteps came from inside the room. Then, a hoarse voice came from outside the door.
"Who is it?" The man was on high alert. From his voice, it was clear that he was preparing to attack at any moment.
"It's me, Hu Meng …" Hu Meng hesitated for a moment and said softly.
"Wh, what?!"
The man inside the door obviously didn't expect to hear these two words. Pang! Pang! Pang! Soon after, the shabby wooden door was pushed open from the inside. A skinny man with a dirty face suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The man was still holding a rusty dagger. The moment he looked at Hu Meng, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Boss Hu!"
"Xiaofeng!"
The two of them simultaneously shouted out in unison, and then tightly embraced each other.
"Boss Hu, you, you're still alive, alive …"
The man called Xiaofeng was a bit excited. Tears flashed across his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm still alive."
Hu Meng also couldn't help sighing. When he escaped from this place two months ago, he never thought that he would be able to come back alive.
"Right, these people are …"
A hint of vigilance flashed across Xiaofeng's eyes as he looked at Wang Yi and the others.
