Chapter 118 Minimum Subsistence Guarantee
The first to step forward was a withered old man.
It is estimated that there are no more than a few days left to live anyway, and it is considered to be earned if you can eat a full meal before you die.
A soldier stood still and saw the old man standing in front of him, he bent down and took a box of biscuits, a bag of bread, a bottle of pure water, and a set of clothes, and handed him a suit, saying, "Each person can only receive clothes once, and food and pure water can be received twice a day, but at different times." ”
The old man couldn't hear what he was saying, but stared at the bread in his hand and swallowed and foamed.
Seeing this, the warrior sighed and said, "Register, these are yours." ”
The old man looked up at the soldier blankly, obviously not understanding what registration meant.
The warrior asked, "Name." ”
"Forget, forget......" The old man dodged his eyes and said cautiously.
"Origin?"
"I forgot about it."
"Age?"
"......" The old man lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"Remember what your last name is, right?" The warrior looked a little helpless.
The old man twisted his face, thought carefully, and then replied, "The surname is Liu." ”
"Okay, then you will be called Liu Yi in the future."
The warrior nodded, swiped a few times on the tablet, and said, "Liu Yi, this is your minimum living guarantee today. ”
As he spoke, he handed the old man food, water, and clothing.
The old man subconsciously reached out and took it, feeling the real touch of bread and biscuits, and his dry eyes moistened all of a sudden.
For ten years, he has always been hungry and full, eating bark when he has bark, picking up garbage without bark, sometimes he has no garbage to pick up, he can only carry it, the longest time, nothing but water in five days.
In the end, I happened to run into the army commander's relief food, mixed a mouthful of porridge to drink, and barely survived until now.
He never thought that one day he would be able to drink clean water, eat clean food, and wear clean clothes, even if he didn't dare to dream about it, but now it is really realized.
For a moment, he felt that something was blocked in his throat, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound.
Trembling, he changed into clean clothes, carefully tore open the bread, and took a gentle bite.
The sweetness of wheat attacked his taste buds in an instant, and his numb eyes lit up suddenly, and he began to gobble up and stuff it into his mouth, for fear that the bread would be snatched away in the next second.
The dregs of bread fell to the ground, and he picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, not caring if he hadn't swallowed it in his mouth.
When the people around saw this scene, a light appeared in their numb eyes.
Someone stood up again and walked towards the soldiers of the Great Chu Empire, all of whom were old men.
They don't have a few days to live, so what else can they ask for to have a full meal?
Even after eating, let them die immediately, and they are also willing!
Although these people are numb like a walking corpse and are muddy all day long, they are still very well-behaved when it comes to things.
Even if there was bread and water in front of them, they did not fight, but spontaneously stood in a line, obediently queuing.
This is not an accident, to be able to survive in this dog-day world until now, they have already mastered certain rules of survival.
Those guys who don't know how to restrain their desires and see things like monkeys in Mount Emei are fighting for them, and they have already died in Qia, who is guarding the base
Under G, those who stay are naturally disciplined.
Moments later, a dozen more people received food and water.
At this moment, the rest of the slums could not bear it.
The old men who were dying could eat the precious bread.
What about them?
They're still hungry!
No matter!
I'm not as good as a dog now, so what's there to be afraid of!
Everyone looked at the bread with burning eyes, and finally couldn't restrain the desire in their hearts, gritted their teeth, and all stood up one by one, and lined up behind them.
As time passed, more and more poor people crawled out of all the dark corners and spontaneously followed behind those in front of them, and the light appeared again in their numb eyes.
At the same time, a pungent stench accompanied their movements, permeating the entire slum.
The smell was only tolerated by the people in the slums, and the others were the guards at the Beihe base who smelled it and retched.
Fortunately, the fighters were prepared, took out the latest protective equipment, put it on and continued their work.
From beginning to end, apart from the sound of registered inquiries and gobbling swallows, there was no other sound in the entire slum, and everything was in order.
This is something that many people did not expect.
Inner city, some luxurious villa.
Cao Le, the corps commander of the Beihe base, looked at the picture inside the surveillance, his eyes were heavy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
An adjutant's voice came from beside him: "Commander, the envoy of the Great Chu Empire has arrived." ”
The Legion Commander withdrew his gaze, nodded, and said, "Let him in." ”
"Yes!" The adjutant nodded, turned and left.
A moment later.
The living room of the villa.
Cao Le and the envoy sat opposite each other.
The so-called envoy was actually a staff officer of the 32nd Army Corps, who looked very young, no more than thirty years old, but was already a colonel.
For the Great Chu Empire, the younger officers are no choice.
Twelve million men were recruited at once, and even if all the original officers were promoted, it would be far from enough to meet the needs of the major legions.
There is no choice but to promote some young and promising fighters with outstanding performance.
This staff officer is one of the specially promoted.
At this moment, he looked at this 'Beihe Army Commander' who single-handedly established the Beihe base and maintained it until now, and subconsciously straightened his back, trying his best to make himself look solemn and generous.
At the same time, Cao Le was also looking at him, his eyes were calm and not wavering.
In just a moment, his mind had already made a judgment on the envoy.
The fledgling hairy boy, that's all.......
Not surprisingly, this so-called envoy may be negotiating with someone for the first time, so it seems that the Great Chu Empire does not attach so much importance to the Beihe base.
Then again, the Beihe base wants money without money, food without food, and no people, and it is indeed not worthy of the attention of a super force like the Great Chu Empire.
Cao Le quickly straightened his position, adjusted his mentality, and broke the silence: "The envoy came from afar on behalf of the Great Chu Empire, and he was really ashamed that he couldn't meet him from afar. ”
When he speaks, he has a smile on his face.
The envoy waved his hand and replied, "Mr. Cao is polite. ”
Mr. Cao......
Since these people inquired about their names in advance, they must have known that their identity was the corps commander of the Beihe base, but this time they were not addressed to the commander of the Beihe army, but to be called sir......
It seems that they don't agree with their status as a legionnaire!
With just one greeting, Cao Le's attitude towards the Great Chu Empire was well understood.
After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked: "Mr. Special Envoy, I heard my adjutant just now, your warrior claimed that from today onwards, the Great Chu Empire will take over my Beihe base, I don't know what it means?" ”
