C1064 Old Man
"Aiya, hurry up and tell me, brother!"
Han Wan'er rolled her eyes and went up to Wang Yi, pulling his arm and shaking it left and right.
"Alright, alright." Wang Yi hurriedly shook her off as he was also tortured by his sister.
"News has arrived from the capital. In two months, there will be a meeting of survivors from all over the country …"
"I want to go!"
Before Wang Yi finished his sentence, Han Wan'er started shouting excitedly.
During this time, she had been staying in the Grand Green Mountain area and it could be said that it had bored her to death. Now that she had the chance to go out, she naturally would not let it go.
"No." Wang Yi shook his head. This meeting was not a small one. Wang Yi had already decided on the number of people.
"Brother!"
Seeing Wang Yi's look of rejection, Han Wan'er started to act coquettishly again. If Wang Yi's body didn't explain himself, Wang Yi would be worried that she would shake his arm off.
"Alright, alright, I'll bring you there!" Wang Yi's face was filled with helplessness.
Facing Han Wan'er, Wang Yi really couldn't say no. He didn't know what was going on either. In his previous life, Han Wan'er was a gentle and obedient girl who listened to everything Wang Yi said. But now, if it wasn't for the fact that she looked the same, Wang Yi would have thought that he had mistaken her for someone else.
"Tsk, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Han Wan'er got the result she wanted. She threw Wang Yi's arm away and ran off to play with someone in the distance.
"I say, you …" Wang Yi couldn't help but be shocked, then shook his head helplessly.
"Leader, with Wan'er's character, she still needs to be disciplined. During this period of time, it has given me an endless headache."
Lee Weiping rubbed his forehead in pain. He already knew that Han Wan'er was the tyrant among the Grand Green Mountain gathering grounds and no one dared to offend her. Even Wang Yi was afraid of her, but Lee Weiping didn't truly understand how willful Han Wan'er was until he followed the tank group and guarded the Huhhot City base.
Big night, he ran out of the wall alone into the crowd of zombies, saying that he was going to capture two zombies as pets, but Lee Weiping became extremely nervous and told Wang Yi of this news. But Wang Yi waved his hand, and Lee Weiping caught four zombies to be Han Wan'er's pets.
It could be said that if someone else had raised this unreasonable request, Wang Yi would have probably slapped him a long time ago, except for Han Wan'er.
Wang Yi always thought that he had let Han Wan'er down in his previous life, so he could only make up for it in this life.
"Wang Yi, Wan'er told me earlier that we are going to the capital, is it …" There's such a thing. "
At this moment, a slim figure walked over from the darkness. It was Cai Yao. She frowned slightly and looked at Wang Yi expectantly.
"Yes, the capital will convene all the gathering places. It will only be two months later." Wang Yi nodded. Wang Yi never intended to hide this news from Cai Yao.
"All the gathering places, you mean?" Cai Yao asked excitedly.
"All." Wang Yi nodded again.
"Then... At the gathering location for Weishan Lake, will you be participating as well? " Cai Yao asked after hesitating for a moment.
She had followed Wang Yi out of the Weishan Lake gathering place. Her father, Cai Mingguo, was also in the gathering place.
"If nothing unexpected happens, we should be participating in the Weishan Lake Gathering."
Wang Yi said.
In his previous life, he had participated in this session of the Weishan Lake Conference, and Cai Mingguo was also part of the officials. It was likely that after this meeting, the Weishan Lake Conference would become an official gathering place.
"Then can you …" Hearing this, Cai Yao's expression tensed up and she hurriedly said. But halfway through her words, she was interrupted by Wang Yi.
"Of course, I wanted to bring you to this meeting."
Wang Yi said with a smile.
Cai Yao and Cai Mingguo were father and daughter, so it could be said that even if she didn't take the initiative to mention it, Wang Yi wouldn't have forgotten about her.
"That's good, that's good." Cai Yao said gratefully.
"Oh right, Han Wan'er has given you a lot of trouble recently. Sorry about that." Wang Yi slightly lowered his head. Han Wan'er was currently a messenger under Cai Yao's direct control. During this period of time, it had been a headache for Cai Yao.
"It's nothing. Wan'er just likes to move her personality. When she grows up, it will naturally be better." Cai Yao waved her hand and said without a care.
Staying at the Huhhot City Base for the entire night, on the second day, the group set off again. In less than half an hour, they had already seen the walls of the place where Grand Green Mountain gathered.
From the Huhhot City base to the Grand Green Mountain gathering point, there was a total of twenty kilometers between them.
Originally, it would have taken them at least two or three hours to travel so far along the road, after all, there were quite a lot of zombies on the road before, and the road condition wasn't that good, so the team fought and fought and stopped for a while, and the time was naturally slow. But now, because of the construction of the three walls of the Huhhot City, the zombies inside the Huhhot City were completely isolated from the outside, and because of the new construction, this road was almost completely flat, so the speed was naturally very fast.
Wang Yi didn't want to alarm the survivors in the city this time. However, when the survivors saw the majestic fleet of survivors returning, there were still quite a number of them that spontaneously organized to leave the city to greet them.
It was almost a habit. Every time a large group of survivors went out, there would always be survivors who came out to send them off. When they returned, many of them would come out to welcome them back.
It was not an intentional organization, but was a complete voluntary one.
For them, every time the army moved out, it was for their benefit. It would help them live a more secure and comfortable life in the apocalypse.
The team had no choice but to stop outside, mainly because these survivors blocked up the gate. Wang Yi didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic, so he had to get off the car and send his soldiers to maintain order.
"Chief Wang, Chief Wang!"
At this moment, an aged voice sounded from the crowd.
Wang Yi turned his head and saw a white-haired old man in the crowd, staring at him.
Wang Yi hurriedly ran over. If he accidentally fell at such an age, his life would probably end here.
Once the other soldiers saw that their leader had left, they quickly followed, isolating themselves from the other survivors.
Seeing Wang Yi walking towards him, the old man was very excited. He extended his trembling hands and grabbed Wang Yi's arm.
"Uncle, be careful." Wang Yi said.
"Chief Wang, you're finally back." The old man's pale hair was blown in the wind, but he had a caring expression on his face.
"Chief Wang, every time I see you leading the army out, I'm worried. If something happens to you, our Grand Green Mountain gathering place will be in danger." The old man said with a shaky voice.
Wang Yi couldn't help but feel complicated emotions when he heard this.
It was unknown when he had become so important in this Grand Green Mountain gathering point.
Even an old man in his seventies or eighties knew how to care about him.
Chief Wang, since the beginning of the apocalypse, I have been in this gathering place. Our gathering place has changed a lot since you came, all the survivors can eat, have clothes, and a place to live. All of these things were given to us by you, especially old people like me.
The old man said with tears streaming down his face. It could be seen that what he said was from the bottom of his heart.
During the apocalypse, although adults were more likely to survive, the number of old people was not few.
Wang Yi had once ordered a census of the population in the gathering area. Male survivors made up about 60% of the population, while female survivors made up 40%. Old people and children made up about 10%.1
In other words, out of the approximately ten people, there was an old man or a child.
These old people were not like the young ones. They would participate in the work of the gathering place, enter the army, or engage in other kinds of work. It could be said that they were useless people in the gathering place.
If these old men were to be placed in other gathering places, they would have long been driven out of the gathering area, leaving them to fend for themselves. This was a very common scene in the apocalypse, after all, it was impossible to distribute food to useless people.
However, the treatment these old people received in the Grand Green Mountain Gathering Grounds was different. They could even receive a little more food than ordinary people, and every time they gathered, they would receive clothes and other materials, and they would also be distributed to these old people free of charge.
This was Wang Yi's special order. There was no lack of these things in the gathering area. Wang Yi could afford to provide for the tens of thousands of idle people, but if Wang Yi cleared them out and left the old people to fend for themselves, Wang Yi would not be able to do it.
"Old uncles, you don't have to be ashamed of what you have done. During the apocalypse, everyone has the right to live on." Wang Yi said.
"Sigh …" "We are all old bones now. I feel really guilty to see all these youngsters fighting so hard for a gathering place." The old man said sincerely, but he really couldn't do anything for the gathering place.
"Uncle, what were you before the apocalypse?" Wang Yi saw that Wang Yi didn't seem like an ordinary old man. He was also clean.
"I... Before, I was the principal of a school in Huhhot City. " The old man slowly said,
"Principal?" Wang Yi's eyes flashed a hint of surprise. He thought to himself, how did I forget about this?
The Grand Green Mountain gathering place was not some savage tribe, but a civilized society built by humans, how could there not be the existence of schools?
However, the school Wang Yi envisioned was not like the school before the apocalypse. It specifically taught people how to get high marks, but needed to be combined with the apocalypse situation.
