Chapter 188: Dog Eyes Look Down on People
In the evening, the sun was still half hanging in the corner of the sky, casting a bright light. The military logistics personnel were all at work, half estimating the amount of fruit and the other half calculating the total number of personnel in the military.
In the end, it was concluded that in addition to the regular soldiers who could each receive a sufficient amount of fruit, the new recruits who were temporarily recruited a few days ago could also be allocated some.
Immediately, nearly 10,000 soldiers gathered in the entire training square that could accommodate 50,000 people, and the remaining soldiers on duty would be released in the second batch tomorrow.
The orderly yet chaotic team was arranged in neat battalion units. The soldiers at the front who were facing a large number of fragrant fruits were all numb.
The complex fruity aroma that hit them was like a hook, drilling into their noses, and their stomachs, which had just been full, suddenly felt full again!
There were too many people and it was getting late, so the soldiers from the logistics department worked with a group of helpers from the cafeteria to quickly distribute the food in order.
The first soldier in line looked at the fruit on the table in front of him and was completely at a loss, not daring to reach out to take any.
"Green pear, apple, watermelon, grape, candied orange, which one do you want? Don't just stand there, kid, there are many people waiting behind you!"
The familiar auntie who served the food smiled and called out to the little soldier, "Hurry up and choose." But she also understood his reaction. Thinking back, when she saw all this, her reaction wasn't as calm as his.
"Yes, I want watermelon!"
Upon hearing this, the cafeteria aunt immediately took half of a heavy watermelon and stuffed it into his arms with great effort.
"Okay! Next!"
One by one, row by row, countless soldiers were shocked by the heavy loads of fruit they received. Some were so exaggerated that they wouldn't even walk while holding the fruit.
Some local soldiers were so reluctant to eat the fruits that they rushed home during their dinner break!
But the time left to leave the camp was limited, and without even having time to explain, he turned around and quickly ran back to the barracks.
The whole family thought he was up to something bad, like he was robbing someone, and it caused quite a mess, making everyone laugh and cry...
However, this phenomenon is not uncommon in the military.
Gradually, the soldiers in the barracks also gradually learned the source of the fruit.
It turned out that this surprise was given by Miss Liu, the captain of the Spark Team, the first registered team of the S City Base.
Since this incident, the Spark Team has left an impression on the S City base as a powerful yet extremely mysterious team.
As a result, every survivor who left the S City base would subconsciously be more wary when hearing the Spark Team of the same name, and would not dare to provoke them easily, for fear of being unlucky enough to offend the real boss.
At the same time, at the outermost wall under construction at the S City base, a group of middle-aged men were transporting baskets of debris to assist in the construction of the city defense.
This is another basic position provided by the base to ordinary people. It is suitable for ordinary humans who are older and unable to fight against zombies.
Although they only get two pancakes and a bottle of water a day, it is already a good treatment compared to the past, and at least it gives them more chances to survive.
"It's time to call it a day! Come over and get your pay!"
Upon hearing this, everyone put down their shovels and hoes, gasped for breath, supported their waists and ran over, with joy on their faces.
At this moment, a skinny woman wearing a red headscarf passed by the roadside. She was not dressed very cleanly, but she looked down on the group of middle-aged people who worked for a living.
However, while looking around, she spotted a familiar person in the crowd. It seemed that he was a former colleague of hers. It was said that his family was very well-off. How could he have become so destitute after the apocalypse?
Thinking of this, joy suddenly appeared on her face and she rushed forward without hesitation.
"Wenfang? Is that you, Sun Wenfang?"
The woman who had just received the hot pancake and put it in her arms was suddenly pulled by someone and almost dropped the pancake on the ground. Thanks to her husband with a sallow face who quickly helped her, she was able to stand steadily.
She looked up at the person pulling her and found that it was an old acquaintance. Meeting an old friend in a foreign place, Sun Wenfang and her husband were immediately delighted and started chatting with the woman.
As a result, he understood the purpose of the skinny woman's visit without saying a few words.
"Well, my life is okay now. I don't have to go out to work. My daughter is quite capable. She found a psychic from the Dawn Corps. She also introduced her brother to the team. I have a little supplies on hand."
"You know the Dawn Corps, right? They're the ones that moved into the S City base last week and are growing incredibly fast! They're already ranked in the top ten of the base's squads! Their momentum is incredible!"
The woman who had been showing off for a long time seemed to notice that Sun Wenfang and his wife looked a little embarrassed. She quickly changed the subject and coughed twice, "Ahem, I heard that your son is about the same age as my youngest son. Where is he now?"
When Sun Wenfang and his wife heard the woman mention their son, their expressions brightened again. "He hasn't awakened his special abilities yet, but he's quite strong. He joined the army a few days ago and is now a test recruit."
When the skinny woman heard this, her eyes narrowed and a look of sympathy quickly appeared on her face. Her impression of soldiers was mostly still stuck in the period of the three major powers. She always felt that they were very poor and had a low status.
Even if the military holds real power now, it still doesn't have much to gain from managing such a large base. It's like some public institutions don't offer as good benefits as large private companies.
"Hey, why did you send your child to the military camp? Wouldn't it be better for him to stay in a large military group? If your child doesn't have outstanding conditions, he can choose a small military group. The salary in this military camp is low and it's dangerous. It's really unbearable to go there. If you ask me..."
"Mom and Dad!"
The sarcastic remark that the woman was about to make was interrupted by a vigorous voice in the distance. Mr. and Mrs. Sun Wenfang, who were too embarrassed to leave, immediately turned their heads and looked towards the source of the voice.
"Son? Why are you here? Go back, it's dirty here!"
"Mom! Look what I brought you!"
