Chapter 2861 March from the Army (8)

After receiving Hayes's reply, Little Feton immediately rushed over. Under the fearful eyes of the children who were regarded as slaves, he comforted them with words while touching them. He opened the shackles, then took out his ration bars and gave them all to them. If there were not enough, he asked his comrades to take them out too.

These ration bars produced in their hometown are not only high in calories, but also very nutritious, and they also taste great. They may be a bit sweet for people who are accustomed to fine food, but for people who live a simple life on weekdays It's like a high-end dessert.

For these children, this may be the most delicious food they have ever eaten in their lives. Hayes looked at it from a distance, feeling a little disappointed for some reason.

Suddenly he also missed his own child.

However, Xiao Feiton's good deeds were also noticed by others, and soon caused new troubles.

"Military Lord, please show mercy. My child has not eaten for several days. Our whole family relied on eating leaves, grass and roots to get here. The child is so hungry that he has no strength to walk. Please I will be your slave for the rest of my life."

When a man knelt on the ground and begged him, Hayes looked a little embarrassed, but after touching his pocket, he only took out half a ration. Great.

“That’s all I have.”

The man took half of the ration stick, and as if he had found a treasure, he kowtowed ten times to Hayes, then turned to his own The skinny wife ran over. The woman was sitting on the ground, hugging two boys with slender limbs, a dry chest but a slightly swollen abdomen.

He then divided half of the ration bar into three parts, giving one to his wife and two to his children.

"Master Jun, please do it."

Not long after, more refugees gathered around, and even Xiao Feiton was a little at a loss.

Hayes knew that this situation would never end, so he immediately ran back to the car with the others. It was not that he had no sympathy, but that everyone basically didn’t bring any food with them on this trip, so he just brought some. Emergency ration bars.

But looking at those pitiful refugees, he finally couldn't bear it. After asking the soldiers for their opinions, he asked everyone to take out the ration bars they were carrying and throw them all out of the car.

In the chaos, the convoy finally arrived at the checkpoint. There was a company of soldiers stationed here, two arch-shaped scanners, and a dozen technical priests using genetic detectors. Everyone who passed through, regardless of the soldier, Both civilians need to be scanned and tested, and their vehicles also need to be scanned to confirm that nothing is hidden under the chassis, which is why the roads are blocked.

The gene priests analyzed the genetic characteristics of the gene stealers captured early on, so they only need to prick the skin with the probe of the detector to know whether the person is infected, but even so, An individual test is still very inefficient, but considering the infection characteristics of gene stealers, insurance is the most important, and it is also a task that must be strictly implemented under repeated orders from superiors.

After passing the inspection station, the convoy finally entered the safe area, which is now strictly divided. The civilian area is on one side and the military area is on the other side. Everyone sleeps in tents, and the limited buildings have been requisitioned, or It can be used as a headquarters, warehouse, or other functional purposes.

"Pious believers, the Holy War is coming, the real test moment has arrived, the God Emperor is watching everyone!"

As soon as he entered the safe zone, Hayes heard shouts. , looked up and saw a podium made of wood, with a bishop standing on it, shouting at the top of his lungs surrounded by torches. Behind him was a wooden shrine. In the shrine was a golden statue of an emperor, one person tall, with two Ten shackled slaves struggled to press their shoulders against the shrine. Their shoulders were bleeding from the pressure of the thick wooden poles.

In front of the podium, a dozen priests each held a wooden box with a line of words written on it -

Jihad Donation.

There are constantly well-dressed landowners and ladies coming over and throwing some gold and silver jewelry and other valuables into the box, but at the same time, there are also many poor people who are also putting their last bits of property in, but with some The difference between wealthy people is that they have to kneel down to take out their contributions, and when they are done, they have to lie down on the ground with their palms facing forward to perform the most solemn salute to the statue of the emperor. Many people's hands and feet are bruised by this. Still indifferent.

Hayes could not understand this kind of behavior. Perhaps the people here are really simple and pious.

After the convoy stopped, Hayes asked the company to return to the station first, and he went to the regiment headquarters to report After learning that the whole family of the rescued person had been killed, the team leader was very helpless. However, he did not blame Hayes. Instead, he praised him for handling the situation well and reacting quickly. When the gene stealer laid a trap, he not only successfully repelled the enemy It also inflicts great damage to the enemy.

After reporting on his work and handing over the large items taken out of the mansion, Hayes went to the religious order management office at the regiment headquarters and explained the situation to the regimental pastor, who also agreed to take in the children.

After handling these matters, it was getting late, all kinds of searchlights were lit, and the number of people waiting to enter outside the safe area gradually became fewer and fewer.

Those who could not make it at this time basically had no hope. After Hayes returned to the company station, he saw that the soldiers had already started to have dinner.

“What’s for dinner tonight?”

Hayes rubbed his hands, came to the simple temporary dining table, and sat next to Little Feidon, who was stirring the opened food with a spoon. The brown soup in the can, after taking a bite of the dry and hard bread on his hand, he rolled his eyes and said:

"What else could it be? Canned, canned, canned. The day before yesterday, it was canned Dimetrodon stewed with black onions. Yesterday, it was canned Dimetrodon stewed with penka fruits. Today, okay, canned Dimetrodon stewed with canned Dimetrodon. , I feel like a heterodont now. ""You will complain, aren't there local vegetables in it? You think these things are easy to get, now many people are chewing grass, and you still have meat. Eat it with vegetables and bread, what are you complaining about?"

The cook in the company muttered while placing a metal lunch box in front of Hayes, who also Ignoring their conversation, he picked up the spoon, scooped up a piece of meat and soup and put it into his mouth.

“Well, not bad, it tastes like vegetables. Well, it’s very fresh and delicious.”

Hayes picked up the bread, dipped it in the soup, took a bite, and was satisfied. Nod.

After a moment, he sighed:

"This planet is actually very rich in products, with a wide variety of vegetables and fruits. It would be great if they were not spoiled by aliens."

But the cook But he was paying attention to another thing.

"Company Commander, the company's fruit and vegetable quota has been cut again. Now it is only one-third of the original, and the grain quota is only half of the original. It is estimated that the supply will not be available soon."

After hearing this, Hayes was not too surprised. Instead, he looked up at the sky. A modified transport-specialized Valkyrie was slowly descending from the sky.

"It's not surprising, it proves that we can't stay in this world for long."

Tiffie Dun put down his spoon and asked curiously:

"Company Commander, obviously those gene stealers also It’s not very powerful. I think we only need a few hundred thousand troops to completely sweep them away. Why do we choose to stay in this safe zone? Isn’t our goal to save the world?”

Haisi then shook his head. Shake his head.

"What we have to deal with is the Tyranids. If what I learned is correct, they should be coming soon."

"Isn't there a fleet? Why are you afraid of those bugs?"

"Ha, if you saw them with your own eyes, you wouldn't think they were bugs. Forget it, it's useless to say so much. Hurry up and eat, maybe you’ll have another mission later.”

After taking a few bites, Tie Fei put down the spoon and bread and picked up a piece of fruit.

Hayes looked at him.

“What’s wrong?”

"I have no appetite, I won't eat, I can't eat, just eat some fruit."

Tia Fei Dun opened the soft peel, took out the granular pulp inside, and threw it into his mouth.

"It's so sweet, so good."

Hayes looked at the others again and found that many soldiers had not finished eating what they had on their hands, and then called the cook.

“Collect the leftovers later. Don’t hand them over to the garbage collection station. Put them in a bucket and take them to the civilian area. I’ll go with you.”
< br>

"Okay, I'll probably throw these away if I don't eat them anyway."

After a simple night's rest, before the first ray of sunshine rose in the morning, just as Hayes expected, the superior soon passed on the news. The message came that in thirty hours, all troops will evacuate the planet, and they must speed up to help uninfected people board the transport ship.

So everyone immediately got busy, and more transport planes began to descend from the sky. What they didn't know was that the real battle had already begun in space very close to them.
