After hearing what he said, Su Tao had a better understanding of Dang Weiran's extreme words and deeds.

It is true that in the first two years of the apocalypse, life was really difficult for humans. There were zombies all over the world, order collapsed, water sources were polluted, and there was a shortage of food. Amidst internal and external troubles, how could we consider the quality of life? The only way out was to survive by all means necessary.

Zhou Yushan seemed to see through everything and sighed softly:

"But things are different now, especially with Taoyang. We have ample supplies. There's really no need to mistreat the soldiers any further. Over time, it will destabilize the military. Dang Weiran is getting old and confused. His years of power and influence have made him believe he's always right. The President is also concerned and confused. He wants the best for Taoyang. Dang Weiran made such a great contribution back then, and he wanted to give this talented person to Taoyang. Unexpectedly, things didn't go as planned."

Su Tao said she had learned her lesson: "So what should I do now? Let it be?"

Zhou Yushan nodded. "Yes, you don't have to do anything. Dang Weiran has endured for so many years. He must be unwilling to leave Beijing suddenly. He won't stay long and will leave on his own."

Su Tao thought to herself that this was exactly what Shi Zijin said. It was true that for some things, she needed to listen more to the experience of professionals. After all, she was young and inexperienced, and there was still a lot she needed to learn.

After Su Tao confirmed that her idea was correct, she let it go and decided not to interfere in the affairs of the independent group for the time being.

It's really heartbreaking to watch them. Such high-intensity training, filling their stomachs with dry food and cold water every day, and being so tired that their eyelids are fighting each other, but they still have to wash their own clothes.

This feeling of heartache continued until the third day and reached its peak.

The cause of the incident was the management of Su Tao and Tao Yang. Zhou Yushan was also called in to hold a meeting to discuss the allowances and subsidies for the soldiers of the independent regiment.

Maintaining an army is very expensive. You can't just not give a penny to the soldiers who have sacrificed their lives and youth.

They have hands and feet, and some even have special abilities. They can earn money by taking off their military uniforms and working outside. Without military salary subsidies, who can persist in selfless dedication for so many years?

Even if it is selfless dedication, the soldiers have to consider their families even if they don’t consider themselves.

Allowances, that is, giving money, are necessary.

After discussion, everyone voted to adopt Zhou Yushan's suggestion. Normally, there will be a subsidy of 5,000 federal coins every month, including three meals and accommodation, as well as holiday benefits. Crystal cores will also be issued to psychics every quarter.

A considerable amount of money will be paid for demobilization based on the age of service.

Changjing also has similar ones, but the subsidies are not as large as Taoyang.

Su Tao readily agreed, because these people not only had to defend Taoyang, but also had to go out regularly to complete tasks such as clearing out zombies and picking up crystal cores, etc. They were very useful and would bring more security and crystal cores, so they couldn't be stingy.

After the discussion, Su Tao brought several senior executives to find Dang Weiran to implement the subsidy distribution policy.

But on the way there, Su Tao heard someone crying. The voice was very soft, as if the person was sobbing with his head buried.

She signaled for them to stop and walked around the wall alone. She saw the boy who had picked up meatballs in the cafeteria before, his shoulders shaking and sobbing.

Seeing that he was young, Su Tao squatted down, handed him a piece of paper and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me what difficulties you encountered."

The little soldier burped in fright, stood up in a hurry, wiped his eyes and was about to run away.

He was standing far away at the welcome party that day and did not see Su Tao's appearance clearly. He thought the young girl in front of him was one of Taoyang's tenants.

He was caught crying in the corner by a pretty girl. He felt so ashamed that he wanted to escape immediately.

Su Tao grabbed him and said, "Hey, I'm not a monster."

Then he slowed down his voice and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you homesick, or did someone bully you?"

His and her voices were so gentle that the little soldier couldn't help but shed tears.

He squatted down and said aggrievedly: "I'm so hungry, I really feel that I can't eat enough every day. My brother said that I won't be hungry when I come to Taoyang, but I still can't sleep at night because of hunger. I feel dizzy and dizzy during training in the morning. The squad leader feels sorry for me and secretly left his share of dry food and stuffed it into my mouth while I was asleep. I, I..."

Having said this, he could no longer hold back his tears. He took out the half piece of dry food, held it in his hands and burst into tears. His face was covered with tears and snot. While crying, he blamed himself, thinking that he had eaten too much and was a glutton, causing the squad leader to not have enough to eat.

He really blamed himself too much, and the grievance of self-blame was far greater than the grievance of not having enough food to eat.

The dissatisfaction and heartache in Su's heart instantly reached its peak.

She couldn't bear it any longer and waited until Dang Weiran left on his own.

This young soldier is only about ten years old, and is at the age where he can grow and eat. People like Gu Mingchi know how to arrange accommodation for their young subordinates, protect them, and provide them with the best and most stable life.

The Party remained steadfast in its disregard for all this, treating the soldiers as mere war machines.

Taoyang clearly had everything she needed, but the soldiers under her command cried bitterly over half a piece of dry rations.

Su Tao's chest was heaving. She tried to hold it in for half a minute, but she couldn't hold it in any longer. She asked Zhuang Wan to take the little soldier to Taoyang's own small canteen to eat. She wanted to eat her fill first!

The people behind the wall also heard the whole thing.

Zhou Yushan frowned and said, "Why do I feel like he's even more demanding than before?"

Meng Qian rolled her eyes directly:

"I don't care what his reasons are. To me, he's just sick. He has to torture people. He's a masochist."

The others also had confused expressions on their faces, and it was hard for them to disagree with Meng Qian's words.

I have never heard of anyone giving up a good life and suffering instead.

Zhou Yushan said to Su Tao, "Boss Su, please help me make an appointment with the party group leader. I think we should talk to him. After all, he can't leave for a while. If he stays away for a long time, the soldiers will not be able to bear it physically and will also have psychological problems."

Su Tao was worried that Dang Weiran would fight with him. After all, they had a grudge against each other, and he would definitely be at a disadvantage if they fought while sitting in a wheelchair.

Zhou Yushan smiled and said, "I'll let Xiaobo accompany me, don't worry."

Su Tao then agreed. It was useful to have a disciple with strong tendon meat.

The little soldier over there wolfed down half of his meal and then stopped immediately.

Zhuang Wan asked him why he didn't want to eat anymore, and whether he didn't like these dishes.

The little soldier waved his hands quickly:

"No, no, can I, can I pack up the remaining food and take it back to my squad leader? He only has two meals a day, and he hasn't eaten yet. He will definitely not be able to endure the training tomorrow morning."
