"Six minutes and 14 seconds, I'm very dissatisfied!"
A team of nearly two thousand people had just assembled on the training ground, and Su Deben, wearing a black and blue military uniform, walked out.
Hundreds of Tianyuan troops also walked out, looking seriously at the chaotic team below.
Maybe the Tianyuan Army is not as fierce as these veterans on the battlefield, but it is much better in terms of obedience to discipline and training.
“Two thousand veterans, who have participated in more than ten years of fighting, took more than five minutes to gather together.”
Sudben raised the trumpet in his hand: "Do you know what this means?"
"We are soldiers, a shield for the unarmed residents.
If, now If an enemy launches a war, if there is a large-scale attack by radiation beasts now, how many residents who could have survived will die in front of you by the time you gather together? "
Boom! The roar made the veterans' ears buzz.
Especially some veterans who were relatively close to Sudben raised their hands and covered their ears without discipline.
Many people showed dissatisfaction on their faces.
Why is the collection so slow?
It’s not a real war now. Besides, everyone has been tired for a day and a night. Isn’t it normal to slow down?
Yehu never asked him like this in normal training, and those commanders only required that he must use all his strength in battle.
No one has ever told them that they need to maintain the same level of combat as they do in daily life.
This Tianyuan territory is too harsh!
However, seeing the reactions of these people, Sudeben was not surprised at all, and instead laughed.
He smiled freely, and his eyes were full of disdain.
“Oh, it’s really a mess, but that’s not surprising.”
"They are just a bunch of trash. No wonder they are treated as garbage by shelters at this age."
Wow!
The unabashed sarcasm, the moment Sudeben said it, immediately aroused the emotions of everyone present.
Waste?
Normally, there is no problem in scolding them like this. They can also accept more unpleasant insults.
But the key point is that many people now have deep resentment in their hearts.
Being abandoned by the shelter, being stabbed in the back by his companions, the fatigue of crossing mountains and ridges, and the fear of arriving in a strange area.
Several emotions were intertwined, and suddenly a cacophony of curses came to mind below.
“You are a waste. Our Pingtan Army has fought more battles than you have eaten.”
“That’s right, what’s wrong with the time being slower after we’ve been tired all day? What kind of commander can you be if you don’t understand the soldiers? ”
"Well said, this Tianyuan territory doesn't want us, and we're not happy to stay here."
"Trash, it's not clear who is trash!"
"."
< br>Originally, only a few people were rebutting, but as emotions were stirred up, more and more people began to join.
Su Deben was not angry, but continued to watch these people's retorts with a smile.
After about four or five minutes, and his voice became softer unconsciously, he said cheerfully.
"Hey, I think you are not very capable, don't you have a bad temper?"
"Very good, a big temper can be regarded as a skill in a sense, and it represents your After all, these people are not so mediocre that they have lost even the last trace of their dignity."
After a pause, Sudben waved to the back.
Nothing happened, and a huge screen suddenly appeared behind the training ground.
It's at least about three hundred inches, and even the people standing at the back of the team can see it clearly.
“Hey, why is the person on the screen Ye Chu?”
A sharp-eyed person saw the two figures walking forward dejectedly in the screen, and recognized one of them. identity.
Including the delay in fighting and eating time, it will be almost an hour before the elimination ends.
When we were in the team, the veterans spontaneously counted the number. It was roughly estimated that only fifty people had failed.
And this Ye Chu happened to be one of them.
What surprised everyone was that Ye Chu’s status among veterans was not low.
He is a very senior captain in the commando brigade.
Had it not been for the fact that he had injured his legs and feet in battle a few years ago, resulting in a semi-disabled state, he would not have been reduced to the point of being eliminated by Pingtan.
At this time, Ye Chu, who learned the news of elimination, was devastated and limped on the cement road.
He didn't know where he was going or where the road would lead.
The other party didn't tell him how to go back after being eliminated, and he didn't even bother to provide a meal.
It is as if those who cannot complete the task have become worthless waste.
Want to go back to Pingtan Shelter?
Ye Chu raised his head blankly and looked at the buildings not far away in a daze.
Looking for tokens and arriving at the military camp within the specified time is not friendly to a disabled person.
Especially when the teammate assigned to him is also a disabled person, this is even more sad.
Both of them were eliminated without any surprise.
"Only ten minutes, only ten minutes"
The figure next to Ye Chu was still lowering his head and muttering silently, as if he was in a daze.
"Yin Xing?"
I called the figure's name, but the other person still looked as lost as before.
I don’t know how to persuade him, Ye Chu’s mind is also in a mess, and he can only drag his tired body forward.
There was a group of buildings ahead, and he planned to go there to take a look.
See if you can find some food and find a sheltered place to take a nap.
Wait until you regain some strength before returning to the shelter.
Otherwise, given the current physical condition of the two of them, they might go into shock before they even reach the outpost.
Step by step.
Close to the edge of Longteng Village.
Because the factories haven't started yet, there are very few villagers staying here, and only a few people are stationed here.
Looking at the gates 'embedded' in the high walls, Ye Chu didn't dare to rush up and disturb them.
In Pingtan Shelter, the status of soldiers is actually not high.
Because each floor has heavy monthly tasks and has an independent guard team.
Residents may even reject soldiers who appear on their own level, viewing them as a nuisance.
Not only do you want to get supplies, but even if you want to drink more water, you have to go to the security office to get it.
And this Tianyuan territory is similar.
Ye Chuke still remembers the grand occasion at that outpost, with two thousand people sitting in the fenced canteen eating and drinking for free.
Also after the assembly just now, the canteen gave the same treatment to the soldiers who completed the mission for free.
These consumed materials do not come from the sky, they must be squeezed from ordinary residents.
That’s it for the soldiers who provide their own shelter.
But these people are all old guys eliminated from Pingtan Shelter, and they are considered a "trouble".
If the residents of this Tianyuan territory also have monthly tasks, I am afraid they will be hated to the bone.
“Hey, there’s a trash can over there!”
Walking on the deserted street, Ye Chu’s eyes suddenly lit up and he saw the green trash can beside the street.
Pingtan Shelter does not have this kind of thing, because there will be no garbage left after eating the nutritious meal.
But when I ate at the outpost, the leftover soup was poured into it.
There’s something to eat!
I don’t care that the things inside may be the garbage left by others.
He quickly walked over with Yin Xing, but unfortunately.
As the lid of the trash can opened, the inside had long been cleaned up, even compared to what many veterans brought The rice bowl that comes here must be clean.
"Ah"
Putting down the lid of the bucket with some disappointment, Ye Chu suddenly felt even hungrier.
The hope that had just emerged gave him a slight illusion, thinking that he would be able to eat food soon.
But after the hope was shattered, it was difficult to suppress the desire and hunger.
He quickly led Yin Xing to the next trash can within reach and continued his rummaging.
However, no one has come to Longteng Village for more than ten days. How can we find garbage in the trash cans on the main road.
After checking more than ten times in a row, Ye Chu still found nothing. It wasn't until we came to the back door of the underworld factory that was still in operation that we found some garbage that hadn't been cleaned up inside.
"Ye Chu is eating the garbage thrown away by others. This is too miserable!"
"I'm afraid there is other people's saliva on those garbage. He can really Keep eating.”
"Ugh, even if I'm not close, I feel like I can smell the stench there."
"It's moldy, but you still eat it, are you really not afraid of getting sick?"
"Come on, You can only say this when you are full. If we had not completed the task, we would have ended up like this."
"It's so miserable. Do you want us to cherish our current treatment by letting Ye Chu go through this miserable situation? "
"Keep your voice down, don't let the commander up there get really angry and drive us away to eat garbage."
"."
The venue was still in a state of excitement.
But when they saw Ye Chu and Yin Xing lying in front of the trash can, they searched through the trash regardless of their image.
Find out the things that have not been eaten by the workers and eat them greedily.
The noise gradually subsided and became quieter.
Too bad.
Not only was he kicked out of the shelter, but now he has to look for garbage to eat on other people's territory.
What is the difference between this and those wanderers?
One is looking for garbage to eat in the sewer, and the other is looking for garbage to eat in the trash can.
And looking at the way Ye Chu and Yin Xing were eating sweet food, they probably didn't know that they were being watched by nearly two thousand people with wide eyes.
Otherwise, no matter how thick-skinned they are, they will probably crash into the wall next to them.
"Haha, is this what you call 'dignity'?"
"A veteran who shed his blood for the shelter, a veteran who defended the safety of the shelter with his life , is it only worthy of going to a strange place after retiring and rummaging through the trash can for food?”
Su Deben’s sarcasm was late but arrived.
Many people in the venue had uncertain expressions, but strangely, no one retorted like before.
Obviously, the tragic situation of the two people was enough to shock them and make them understand the situation after being abandoned by Pingtan.
Yes, the situation of a man over forty in the wasteland.
Even if they have some combat experience, so what?
Without modern guns, they are just ordinary people with a little courage at best.
If you really want to survive in this wasteland, I'm afraid you won't be as adaptable as those wanderers.
And staying in this Tianyuan territory in "humiliation", if you can eat free food every day, it is not something that cannot be accepted.
Just scold, be patient and it will pass!
When the next batch of ‘veterans’ are eliminated and come here, the commander will not be as harsh on them as he is now.
However, just when everyone was thinking this, something suddenly changed in the picture.
I saw the back door of the underworld factory opened at some point, and the workers who came out to take out the garbage were looking at Ye Chu and Yin Xing in astonishment as they were lying near the garbage can, eating and drinking.
Or lick some of the soup that hasn't dried up from the plastic bag.
Or use your fingers to search for uneaten residue from the cracks in the carton.
They ate so deliciously that they didn’t even notice someone standing not far away looking at them.
It wasn't until a exclamation came from the worker's mouth that the two of them raised their heads belatedly.
Suddenly, the scene was a little awkward.
Yin Xing, who still had oil stains on the corners of his mouth, lowered his head in shame on the spot, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Although Ye Chu hasn't lowered his head yet, he can see the color on his face changing and finally turning red.
Everyone also knows that for this commando captain who once had more than a hundred people under his command.
At this moment, his dignity was indeed stepped on.
And by himself.
"Oh my god, what are you doing?"
The worker exclaimed and rushed forward with garbage bags.
“Ah, this is us”
“Are we from Barren Bone Village?” Hearing that it was Blue Star Language, the worker quickly coughed and also used the somewhat unfamiliar Blue Star Language. comminicate.
Although Longteng Village is far away from Hope Village, it is even further away from Barren Bone Village.
But there are usually people from there who come to sell supplies, which is the kind of people who can be contacted occasionally.
Didn’t I hear that they also had plantations and survived the material crisis?
How did you end up eating garbage?
"Desolate Bone Village, no, no, we are Pingtan. No, we are."
Ye Chu explained hurriedly, fearing that the other party would deepen the misunderstanding.
It was only when he opened his mouth that he realized that he had been abandoned by Pingtan Shelter and was no longer a resident there.
They are losers who have not completed the test mission, and are the 'waste' among the veterans.
It is no longer worthy of the Peaceful Beach Army and has nothing to do with the veteran group!
"Aha? Are you volunteers from Pingtan?"
The words and behavior of these two people are a bit strange.
The worker was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly reacted after remembering the hot topics in the chat in the territorial area over the past two days.
Two thousand veterans came from the Pingtan Shelter to support them. I heard that their combat capabilities were extraordinary.
Most people are excited and want to see something.
But because the announcement states that these people will have to go through a week of testing before they can be open to contact, so everyone can only curiously discuss how much change their arrival will bring to the territory, and what kind of people they will face in the future. Damn it, will the invaders be able to take the initiative?
“My name is Wang Yulong, and I am a worker at the underground factory in Longteng Village.”
"Quick, throw away the garbage on your hands. If you are hungry, just knock on the door and tell us."
"Really, a test is a test, and it is too shameful to let people eat garbage."
Wang Yulong complained, and quickly and enthusiastically stepped forward to grab the trash from the two people's hands.
"Come on, let me take care of the food for you, free of charge."
"Don't worry, don't be afraid of anything. We haven't received any announcement that we can't treat you to a meal. Even if you are held responsible, it will be Their problem.”
The sudden enthusiasm confused both Ye Chu and Yin Xing.
They quickly wanted to explain that they had been tested and eliminated, and were trash who would be driven back to the shelter.
But the other party didn’t want to hear what he had to say at all. He pushed him a few times and finally called several people to come out to help.
“Come on, come on, let’s help. The same goes for the Tianyuan Army. It’s too much to let these veterans who protect us just eat garbage.”
“They They probably had some request not to eat at our place, but we didn’t receive any restrictions, so we forced them to come in. Even if they were held accountable, it wasn’t their problem.”
"Even if the sky falls today, we can't just watch them eat garbage."
As soon as they heard Wang Yulong's words, the enthusiastic workers suddenly boiled.
Those who put up their arms put up their arms, and those who put up their legs put up their legs.
Although Wang Yulong and others are just ordinary residents, they are just the slowest progressing craft enthusiasts.
But with the blessing of the route, their physical fitness is much better than ordinary people.
Five people fought each other. Ye Chu and Yin Xing resisted for a few times, but they had no choice but to be dragged into the cafeteria of the underworld factory.
Not long after, two large bowls of noodles were brought out, with a few large pieces of white and tender artificial meat floating on them.
"This is not a meal. You should take a few bites first, and then eat some when the meal starts."
"Don't worry, no one can spy here. You can go out after you are full. No one will find out."
"As long as we can still work, there is no such thing as a soldier asking for money for food in our Tianyuan territory!"
Patting Ye Chu and Yin Xing on the shoulders, they saw tears falling from two middle-aged men who were over forty years old.
Everyone in the venue suddenly couldn't hold it any longer, so they had to leave silently, leaving a separate space.
There is nothing we can do, they are also embarrassed.
Obviously they are younger than the other person, but they still want the other person to protect them. This invitation to have a meal makes them feel a little uncomfortable.
However, what no one knew was that nearly two thousand people were watching this scene intently.
Seeing Ye Chu and Yin Xing crying over the bowl in front of them.
The emotions welling up from nowhere also made their eyes sore and red.
An indescribable feeling, as if it has never been possessed.
But in fact, the feeling that everyone is familiar with appears for the first time!
