After eating, watching the canned food perform acrobatics for a while, Chen Mo also secretly muttered to himself what he had raised.

Leaving the cave and passing by the shantytown built next to the base, Chen Mo, who was on a whim, slowly walked into the shantytown.

During the time when he was recuperating from his injuries, five or six more survivors were added to the shantytown.

In total, he can now be regarded as taking in sixteen survivors.

Although the shantytown was built temporarily, there were a lot of insulation layers, bricks and tiles, and the shantytown was just a name.

"Admiral!"

"Admiral."

Seeing that Chen Mo had come to the shantytown, the two guards guarding the gate hurriedly took a step back, bowed slightly, and greeted Chen Mo.

"Isn't it cold?"

Looking at the two guards in combat uniforms, Chen Mo grinned and asked.

"It's not cold, the survivors of the shantytown will take turns bringing hot water, and the coat you gave you is right here."

"Oh? So why not wear an overcoat? ”

Hearing this, Chen Mo blinked a little strangely and asked.

"Well, the coat was given to the survivors, and there were two children, and I was afraid that the electric heater and the stove would not be enough, so I gave the coat to the children."

When the words fell, Chen Mo's mouth hooked slightly and nodded.

"Okay, when the changing of the guard comes, I will go to the logistics to get a set of coats, don't get sick at this juncture."

Hearing Chen Mo say this, the two guards glanced at each other, and then smiling and clenched their right hands into a fist and put them on their chests.

Seeing this, Chen Mo also made this gesture in the same way, and then turned around and walked towards the shantytown.

On the roofs of the small houses that have been built, smoke is billowing, and next to the telephone poles that have been built, two children of the same age are playing with the disappearing snowflakes on the ground.

Inside the house, the sound of laughter and laughter is also constantly coming out.

"Hey! Uncle! ”

However, at this moment, one of the children playing with the snow waved his hand towards Chen Mo, even though his face was red from the cold, he was still reluctant to put down the snowball in his hand.

However, when he heard the child call himself uncle, Chen Mo also smiled dumbly and shook his head helplessly.

"Kid, how old are you?"

While talking, Chen Mo walked up to the two children.

"This year, it's fourteen."

"What about you?"

"Thirteen."

"Okay, I'm going to be a year older soon."

Squinting his eyes, Chen Mo said with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, when can we go home?"

At this moment, one of the children smiled and asked expectantly.

Seeing the two children looking at him blankly, Chen Mo didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Huh! Dabao! Don't run around! ”

But at that moment, a woman leaning out of the house suddenly ran out and ran in front of the fourteen-year-old child.

"Hey, this big brother, what are you?"

Immediately after, the woman asked with a smile.

"Oh, nothing, come and see."

"Okay, then you can see whatever, it's time for us to eat."

With that, the woman picked up the child named Dabao and ran towards one of the houses.

Seeing this situation, Chen Mo can understand, after all, he has not been to the shantytown a few times, and the performance of these people is also within the scope of understanding.

"Where's your family, little friend?"

Slowly squatting down, Chen Mo grinned, looked up at the resolute child in front of him and asked.

"I don't have a family, I have an older brother, but my brother, who said he was looking for food, never came back, and finally met a kind uncle who brought me here."

Looking at the innocent child in front of him, Chen Mo's eyelids twitched slightly, no wonder, no wonder the cotton clothes and pants on this child were so tattered.

I had chilblains on my face.

"Can you eat enough here?"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Mo asked again.

"At first, I could, but the uncle said that he would come to see me every day, and no one would dare to rob me of anything to eat when my uncle was there."

"And now?"

"That uncle, I haven't come to see me for a long time, and now those people see that I eat slowly, so they grab my things to eat."

When the words fell, Chen Mo took a deep breath and blinked his eyes, the uncle in this child's mouth should be one of the fourteen guards who sacrificed.

"Did you tell the two uncles at the door?"

"I've told you, but you can't tell me every time, or you'll have to sleep in the corner at night."

The child doesn't know what he's done wrong with, and he doesn't know why the people around him treat him the way he does.

The child in front of him is resolute and tenacious, has no family, and seems to have depended on his brother since he was a child.

But now, the only thing to rely on is gone, and these survivors are also people who have experienced the cataclysm.

These people have almost no sympathy in their hearts, including Chen Mo, and they still don't know what sympathy is.

"Have you ever wondered where my brother has gone?"

"I thought, maybe, died."

The child spoke unusually calmly, squatting on the ground and starting to pinch the snowball as he spoke.

But unlike ordinary people, this child pinched the snowballs by pinching one with each hand, and after a while, the two snowballs were pinched.

"Uncle, can you accompany me for a snowball fight?"

Looking at the snowball that the child stretched out in front of him, Chen Mo smiled bitterly.

The collapse of order has led to human life like a mustard, and it is not easy for children to survive in such a background that has gradually become inhumane.

"I didn't think about changing that."

"When I grow up and grow to be as tall as my uncle, I'm going to rob them of food!"

The child said very seriously, the weather was already cold, and the child's little hands were red from the cold, but even so, the child still held the snowball tightly.

"Okay."

After saying that, Chen Mo nodded, slowly reached out and took a snowball, and then.

'Bang! ’

"Whew!"

In between breaths, Chen Mo got up and threw out the snowball fiercely, smashing it on the child's already red face.

Although he didn't use force, the child was still hit to the ground by a snowball, and looked at Chen Mo in a daze.

"Think about it, why would I hit you with a snowball."

"Because, I'm too young."

Shaking his head, Chen Mo walked up to the child, grabbed the child's back collar and picked up the child, and spoke.

"The reason is not with you, if you want to solve the problem, you have to look for the root cause, and your root cause is wrong, not because of your own reasons."

As he spoke, Chen Mo pointed to his chest.

Immediately afterwards, a trace of doubt appeared on the child's face, and doubts slowly turned into thoughts, and thoughts slowly turned into anger.

'Bang! ’

There was another muffled sound, and the world fell silent.

Raising his hand, Chen Mo touched the remaining snowflakes on his face and showed a satisfied smile.

"That's right! The root of the problem is not you, but me, if you want to solve the problem, you have to solve the root cause. ”

As the words fell, the child's eyes began to slowly glaze, and then he regained his calm.

"Look at it yourself, some things can't be solved by others, recognize your weakness, shame and courage."

After that, Chen Mo didn't stop, then got up and walked out.

"Admiral!"

Seeing that Chen Mo, who had just been in for a while, had come out, the two guards opened the fence gate for Chen Mo.

"If a kid comes along, let him out, understand?"

"Understood!"

When the words fell, Chen Mo, who was in a trance, did not stop and began to walk on the road slowly.

'Smack! ’

A slender willow branch slammed into a teenager's face, and the red marks left behind were soon apparent.

In the courtyard, a middle-aged man dressed in the clothes that the elderly often wear to do Tai Chi looked at the little boy in front of him who couldn't stop trembling.

"Why can't you hide!"

The man scolded, as if he was dissatisfied with the boy's behavior.

'Smack! ’

Hot tears snapped on the ground like broken pearls, and the little boy wiped the tears from his face with the clothes he had picked up from the garbage heap.

"Why! Answer me! ”

Seeing that the little boy didn't speak, the man opened his mouth even more angrily and scolded.

"Because, because I'm too slow."

As if he knew that if he didn't answer the man, he would inevitably suffer from flesh and skin, and the little boy replied with tears in his eyes.

"So it's still up to you, right?"

The man's tone softened slightly, and he asked with some wistfulness.

"Hmm."

The little boy buried his head low.

"Hey, let's go, I'll send you back to the orphanage in the afternoon."

The man seemed a little disappointed, shook his head, and muttered.

"Nope! I don't want to go back! I'm going to learn how to do it! ”

As if hearing something extremely frightened, the little boy shook his head frantically with a hasty expression, and his tears were wiped away in an instant.

"Learn the skill? You don't fit. ”

The man still spoke unwaveringly, as if he was determined to send the child back.

"I'm suitable! I can be a master! ”

"Don't call me master, you are not worthy, a little kid who can only blindly dodge, what qualifications do you have to follow me?"

When the words fell, the man did not stop, and strode the meteor to pull the child and walk towards the vehicle.

"I don't! I don't want to go back! ”

The little boy went from the grievances at the beginning, to the struggle, to the despair, and again.

"You let go of me! I'll kill you! ”

'Bang! ’

With a blow to the head, the little boy finally broke free from the man's iron wrist and roared angrily.

Even though in the eyes of the man, pinching the child to death was not much different from pinching an ant to death, the child actually picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the man.

'Smack! ’

However, the man still caught the stone thrown by the little boy and threw it aside.

The little boy did not despair, but picked up the stones scattered in the yard again and attacked the man, but none of them were defused by the man.

From afternoon to evening, his hands were worn out, his legs and feet were sore to the point of swelling, but the little boy did not give up until he was exhausted and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the man's face remained the same, but he still took a step towards the little boy.

"Hey!"

Who knew that this was a trap for the little boy.

'Bang! ’

A stone slammed into the man's forehead, the man was stunned, the little boy did not stop, but waited for the opportunity to snatch the willow strip in the man's hand.

"So, did you find the reason?"

"I'm not weak! I'm suitable! I'm better than everyone else! ”

Struggling to grab the willow strips, the little boy said stubbornly.

"Very good, then Chen Mo boy, remember, don't use your weakness as an excuse, at any time, remember."

"Whew!"

A puff of smoke came out of Chen Mo's mouth, who was leaning against the outer wall of the base, and looking at the half-burned tobacco in his hand, Chen Mo touched his side face with some nostalgia.

If you don't look closely, you won't notice that a shallow scar is slowly twitching.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the shantytown, there was no other figure except for the guards who were patrolling.

"Hey!"

With a sigh, Chen Mo poked out the cigarette butt, clapped his hands helplessly, and walked towards the renovated gate of the base again.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Step 4.

"Uncle! Wait for me! ”

With a childish voice sounding, Chen Mo turned his head in a hurry, and the shadows of the little boy with a flushed face and the little boy with a red face gradually coincided.

"What's wrong?"

Turning around, a smile flashed on Chen Mo's face, and he looked at the little boy who ran in front of him out of breath and asked.

"Just now, why did the two uncles at the door nod to you?" The little boy asked, with a ruddy face.

"Because my uncle and I are the owners of this base."

"Then you must be very good."

"Of course."

"Teach me how to learn!"

"Why?"

"I must be better than you when I grow up!"

"Hahahaha!"

At this second, Chen Mo was stunned, but he also smiled, laughing very happily and laughing very lonely.

"What's your name?"

"Left light!"

"Hahahaha, okay, come with me."

Chen Mo, who seemed to be in a better mood, took the little boy to the infirmary and motioned for Bai Li to check the child's body.

In addition, he bathed the child, put on new clothes, and looked at the clean little boy, Chen Mo couldn't help but grin.

"If you want to become stronger than me, then you will suffer the sin of suffering more than me, don't you regret it?"

Brought the little boy a bottle of soy milk scavenged from the convenience store, and Chen Mo immediately asked.

"Regret! But I also want others to be respectful to me! ”

Hearing such an answer, Chen Mo nodded secretly, and then called Jiang Hai, who had returned to the base, over.

Let the little boy follow Jiang Hai to exercise first.

But Jiang Hai was not happy on the spot, how could the child go to the battlefield?

Doesn't this push people into the fire pit?

However, under Chen Mo's repeated requests, Jiang Hai still nodded and agreed, and the little boy's training path officially began.

Speaking of Jiang Hai, it is worth mentioning.

It took Jiang Hai and the others nearly seven or eight days to successfully lead away the corpse tide over there, if not.

The massive corpse tide over there may have spread to the orphanage base by now.

After settling the little boy Zuoguang, the office was clean, looking at the mask on the table, Chen Mo's fingers tapped on the table.

"I don't know how the blade is made."

Muttering, Chen Mo came to the command building again, and the last room on the second floor was the maintenance department that Chen Mo had temporarily set up.

Because the first group compensated itself for a lot of houses, there were all kinds of miscellaneous things, and even the technicians arranged several for themselves.

And the day after he fell asleep, the people from the council headquarters had already taken away the fake maintenance crews.

However, after going through a few traps, the base is now full of snakes, especially people from the headquarters.

After repeatedly confirming that it was someone from the headquarters, Guan Hao put down his forty-meter-long broadsword and asked them to take the person away.

And the headquarters' punishment of the first group is not limited to this, but most of them have little to do with Chen Mo.

The only thing was that the headquarters promised to give itself two additional slots in the corps.

Because there are ten commanders in the full establishment, but there are only eight at the end of Chen, that is to say, two people are added on the basis of ten.

In short, there are now vacancies in the four teams under Chen Mo's hands.

This Chen Mo is not worried about a blank check for himself, after all, the commendation conference is about to be held.

However, this time, there are a lot of benefits for Ika, and there is no need to go into details.

However, Su Yan also took the trouble to find out the current situation of Zhuangzi and the others.

A few people are now sleeping in the general base of X City, and they don't have to care about anything every day, except that they can't leave the base.

For the rest, there's nothing left.

December is coming, spring is coming, and facing zombies again is imminent.

It doesn't matter if these are any of this, what Chen Mo cares about now is the safety of the base, as well as the things that can threaten his own safety.

'Ding-dong! ’

Walking outside the maintenance department, Chen Mo took a deep breath, walked in, greeted, chatted, took a knife, and left.

Do it in one go without saying a word more.

Tsai carefully looked at the blade in his hand, and Chen Mo nodded.

Although it is a little uglier than the original blade, the feel has not changed much, and the katana has been broken I don't know how many times.

In short, this katana has witnessed the growth of Chen Mo from the beginning of the last days to the present along the way.

Back in the office, Chen Mo began to put on clothes, organize his bags, and set off for the headquarters in the afternoon.

The day after tomorrow, this commendation meeting that has been mentioned for a long time will begin.

Thinking of this, a trace of strangeness flashed in Chen Mo's eyes, he left the base twice, and both times there was an accident.

So this trip must be well arranged, and it must be arranged in detail.

Because this trip to the headquarters, not only by himself, but also by the corps, the burden of taking care of the base fell on Zhang Jin and Sun Min.

Dressed in good clothes and tidying up his mood, Chen Mo held a meeting.

ordered that in the days of his departure, all the guards would accept Zhang Jin's dispatch in a unified manner, and all internal affairs would obey Sun Min.

This also makes the two happy at the same time, but also a little tired.

Happy.

is happy that Chen Mo is willing to hand over the affairs to the two of them, fully expressing his trust.

In fact, this means that Chen Mo is too lazy to do it himself.

Tired, that's for sure, at least the moment Chen Mo left, the two of them couldn't close their eyes, everything had to wait until Chen Mo returned.

The two of them can rest.

To put it mildly, if something goes wrong with the base during the time that Chen Mo is gone.

Come on.

You don't have to do it for your two counselors, just wash and sleep.

At the end of the meeting, Xingdong had already arranged for the outside intelligence personnel to return to the base on time.
