C1077 Lime
The two men were scared out of their wits and were afraid that Wang Yi would do something to them. However, Wang Yi still had his identity, so how could he possibly argue with the two survivors at the gathering place?
"Be more careful next time, others haven't given you anything, so don't take it."
Wang Yi said to the two men and left.
For Wang Yi, there was nothing to be angry about. He had more important things to do, so he didn't need to worry about that.
At night, in the barracks, there was a yard at the corner of the camp that was completely sealed off. Two sentries stood there with guns at the door, and their collars were set up as the most important military base. Anyone entering or leaving the base needed to be registered, so it was presented in front of Wang Yi.
It was not because of Wang Yi's vigilance. It was mainly because Wang Yi did not want others to know about this matter. Besides Lee Loong, the other two instructors and some soldiers in charge of this place, the only one who knew about this was Wang Yi.
The wild children that he had found in the gathering area were being nurtured.
A military vehicle slowly appeared outside the courtyard, and the soldiers standing guard immediately stopped it.
"Please show your ID card." One of the soldiers said.
As the car window slowly descended, a dark green colored book was handed out. This book was reserved for the military. On the surface, it was a giant bear with a huge mouth howling wildly, which was also the symbol of the Grand Green Mountain army.
"Greetings, Leader!"
The soldier turned the book over and glanced at it. His body trembled as he hurriedly saluted to the vehicle.
These soldiers were also chosen from the special team. Wang Yi was absolutely confident in these people.
"Is Instructor Li inside?" Wang Yi asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the leader, Instructor Li is inside." The soldier hurriedly said and passed the book to Wang Yi.
"Open the door, I want to go in." Wang Yi said.
"Yes sir!"
The two soldiers quickly pushed the wooden door, which was four meters tall and tightly sewn, open. Wang Yi stepped on the accelerator and the car drove into class.
This courtyard was said to be a courtyard, but its actual area was estimated to be a quarter of the size of the military camp.
As there were currently only Zhang Fei's new three divisions, fifteen thousand people, there were still a lot of empty spots in the army camp. As for the other two divisions, Lee Weiping was in charge of guarding the city walls at the Huhhot City Base, and would probably be back in two or three days to conduct rotations with Zhang Fei's divisions. Logan's division, on the other hand, was in charge of clearing the passage to the grassland at the back of the gathering area.
The yard was completely set up. Several large warehouses were used as living quarters, study area, training area and so on. It should be dinner time by now. Wang Yi drove the car directly to the entrance of the cafeteria and got off the car.
Wang Yi frowned. Looking through the window, Wang Yi saw about three hundred children of different ages obediently sitting at the dining table and looking in one direction with their heads facing the same direction.
There were plenty of fruits, meat, vegetables and even a drink in front of everyone. It could be said that the lives of these children were better than 99% of the people in the gathering area.
It was not an exaggeration, but the truth.
Being able to occasionally eat some vegetables could already be considered a delicacy, but those who were slightly capable, which were the people from Corpse-killing Mass that Wang Yi met today, would probably have meat to eat occasionally, and the army from Grand Green Mountain would be the ones on top of that. They would have meat everyday, be filled with rice, and then, they would be the higher-ups of the gathering place.
The food that these children were eating was only a little worse than what Wang Yi usually ate.
Of course, all of this was at Wang Yi's behest. Even the clothes worn by these children were specially made by the factory according to Wang Yi's instructions. There was a flag of the gathering place of Grand Green Mountain printed on the chest.
In front of these children stood Lee Loong and a few instructors. Their expressions were extremely serious and they did not have a single smile on their faces.
"Remember, everything you eat, the clothes you wear, and the rooms you sleep in are all given to you by Chief Wang. Without Chief Wang, you guys are still wandering around the streets like wild dogs!"
"In order to get some food, you have to line up from morning until the afternoon. You can only sleep on the street at night!"
Lee Loong shouted. Some of the children had faces full of fear, eyes rimmed with tears, but most of them had faces full of gratitude. When Lee Loong said this, they all unconsciously straightened up.
At that moment, one of the twelve to thirteen year old girls, probably too hungry, reached out her hand to grab the food on the table and wanted to put it in her mouth.
"What are you doing!"
Naturally, this small action couldn't be hidden from Lee Loong. Lee Loong roared and walked over with large strides.
"Uncle, I, I'm hungry. I want to eat something." The little girl stammered, scared out of her wits.
"You've been here for a week. Don't you know the rules?"
Lee Loong knocked away the food in the girl's hand and said coldly.
"I... Know... However … "But I'm too hungry …" The little girl was so scared that she was on the verge of crying.
"I did not give orders. No one is allowed to eat." Lee Loong snorted and said to the soldier beside him.
"This girl is not allowed to eat tonight. Let her out!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes!" The soldier responded and pulled the girl's hand out of the room.
"Stand here!"
After the soldier said that, he closed the door with a clang. However, he did not notice that Wang Yi had taken in all of this from the darkness not far away.
"See, what happens when you disobey." Lee Loong pointed at the door and shouted.
"Eat all the food in front of you within ten minutes, waste a grain of rice. Don't eat next week!"
When these children heard this, how could they dare to hesitate? They were scared to the point of crying, but they still desperately stuffed the food in front of them into their mouths.
The girl outside the door was curled up on the ground with a face full of grime from crying. But at this moment, a pair of military boots suddenly appeared in front of her. She subconsciously raised her head and saw a somewhat familiar face looking down at her from above.
"What's wrong? Did you do something wrong and get punished by the instructor? " Wang Yi asked.
The little girl sobbed for a while before she spoke.
"Lemon is hungry, lime..." "Lemon wants to eat something, Instructor Li won't let me …"
"Lemon? Your name? " Wang Yi's mouth curved into a smile as he slowly squatted in front of her.
"Yes, my mom gave it to me." The little girl nodded and looked pitifully at Wang Yi.
"What about her? Where did your mother go?" Wang Yi raised his eyebrows. The people who came here were all children who had no relatives in the gathering area. It was impossible for Lee Loong to bring some with parents.
"She …" Dead … "It was eaten by a zombie …" Lemon's voice trailed off, her eyes wide with fear, as if she had thought of something horrible.
Wang Yi couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps, compared to them, these children were the most pitiful.
"Then are you ruthless, Instructor Li?" Wang Yi suddenly asked.
"Hate?" The lime was stunned for a moment, as if she was trying to figure out the meaning of the word. Then, she shook her head hesitantly.
"Why? He wouldn't let you eat dinner, and he scolded you. " Wang Yi said.
"But if it wasn't for Instructor Li, I would still be wandering on the streets with nowhere to sleep. Every day, I would be eating relief food and salt from the gathering place." Lemon said.
Wang Yi couldn't see any hatred in her eyes. After all, this kind of life was a hundred times better than the life she had before.2
"Are you hungry now?" Wang Yi said.
"Hungry." Caragana nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.
At this moment, Wang Yi suddenly took out something from his pocket, held it in front of Qing Li and slowly opened it.
Chocolate and a few bags of jerky.
"Eat, don't be so hungry." Wang Yi said softly.
This girl was about the same age as Little Jingjing, but her living environment was heaven and earth.
"But Instructor Li knows that he will …" Qing Li wanted to reach out and grab the food, but she seemed to have thought of something. She hastily retracted her hand and looked at the door behind her with a frightened expression.
"Don't worry, hurry up and eat. If I don't tell you, Instructor Li will not know." Wang Yi said.
"Alright, thank you uncle." Finally, a smile appeared on Qing Li's face. He hurriedly started to wolf down his food.
Although the lives of these children were pretty good, they were still unable to eat snacks like chocolate.
Looking at the slurping lime, Wang Yi couldn't help but smile. But at that moment, the door of the canteen was suddenly pushed open. Lee Loong, who was carrying a bowl of rice, walked out.
"Shh …"
Wang Yi quickly made a gesture with his lips, hinting him to be quiet. Then, he pointed to the lime that was facing away from him.
Lee Loong immediately reacted and nodded. Then, he took his bowl and went back.
He came out now because he wanted to give this lime some food. What he said just now was very serious, but that was only for the children to see. How could Lee Loong really have such a ruthless heart?
"Uncle, who are you? Why do I feel like I've seen you there?"
After eating all the food, the depressed look on his face finally disappeared as he looked at Wang Yi gratefully.
"Me?" Wang Yi pointed at himself and said.
"I'm just an ordinary soldier, how could you possibly have seen me before?"
"Uncle you're lying, the clothes you're wearing are all different from theirs." Lemon pointed to Wang Yi's clothes.
But indeed, the rank on Wang Yi's shoulder was the rank of Major General that Lee Hengtai once wore.
"The little girl is quite smart." Wang Yi couldn't help but mutter.
Lemon was very sensible and smart. If Little Jingjing was as good as her, Wang Yi wouldn't have to worry.
