In the early morning, when the busy camp was finished with breakfast, the women carried their children outside the camp in cloth bags to begin their day's work;

The women, who had been in the camp for a month or two, were no longer as thin as they had been at the beginning, their faces were colored, their steps were no longer frivolous, and they walked out in groups with tools, talking and laughing with each other.

The women are dressed in simple scores, without too much decoration on their bodies, and from their clean faces, you can see the happiness that is overflowing;

Before the end of the world, one by one, they rubbed fat and powdered, carefully dressed up here can not be seen, they abandon the squeamishness, the day after day of labor makes them strong, some of the taste of the working women of the seventies and eighties;

Even the children on their backs are very sensible, they don't cry or make trouble, and hunger makes them learn to grow.

When the mothers go to work, they sit next to them, play freely on the ridges, and when it is time to eat, they will find their mothers, and the mothers will carry them on their backs and walk together to the sacred place in their hearts - the canteen.

Some of the older children are learning with the beard, and there are currently more than 100 children between the ages of eight and 14 in the whole camp, and these children are divided into morning and afternoon, and in the morning they learn various cultural knowledge with the bearded man;

In the afternoon, he followed Xia Wei to learn some apocalyptic skills and how to avoid and deal with zombies, of course, he would be brainwashed by Xia Wei, he would tell these children that their current lives were not easy to come by, and all this was given by Zeng Qiang, instilling all kinds of obedience and respect for Zeng Qiang's will, a bit like the appearance of the German SS in World War II.

This time, Gu Tao came back and found a stationery store from a small town he was passing by, all of which were brand new stationery, so new books and pens were distributed to these children.

The recruits stood neatly in the center of the camp, they had become a qualified warrior, more than a hundred people stood in the open space with their heads held high, they did not stand as restless as before, they exchanged heads and ears, and the whole audience was silent.

Some of the logistics staff looked at this group of recruits who were similar to them yesterday and were amazed, they couldn't imagine what these recruits had gone through, but they felt that they had changed, they no longer fit in, they became like those old players, this change made them ashamed, and felt that they were pretending.

"Chen Erwa, why are you kid standing so straight, aren't you tired?" An older logistician shouted at one of the recruits, he thought it was posturing, and now there was no leader, who was it for?

The recruited recruit was only sixteen years old, he was still at school age before the end of the world, and there were still a few pimples on his face, and the person who called him was his uncle in the next room, and he wanted to agree, but he looked at his comrades around him without moving, and he felt that he couldn't move, so he didn't dare to speak.

"Hey, Chen Erwa, Lao Tzu called you, your skin is itchy, right?" There were a lot of people watching, and seeing that his nephew ignored him, he felt very shameless, so he raised his voice again and shouted.

Of course, Chen Erwa didn't respond, let alone move, his behavior made the middle-aged man's face look bad, and when he walked over, he reached out and pulled Chen Erwa's collar.

The middle-aged man grabbed the collar of Chen Erwa's military uniform, and said with dissatisfaction on his face: "Let's go, Erwa, go to work with my uncle." ”

"No, no, uncle, I'...... I'm a member of the self-improvement army, I, I don't want to go back to work......" Chen Erwa's face turned red, almost pleading.

"So what. What do you eat and drink when you don't go to work? The camp doesn't have idlers, so let's go with Lao Tzu?" The middle-aged man's hand strength was relatively strong, and he pulled Chen Erwa out of the team.

"No, no, no...... I'm a member of the Self-Improvement Army, I don't want to go back to work......" Chen Erwa also pulled back her clothes, looking like she would rather die than obey.

The middle-aged man was about to be furious, but suddenly he felt himself flying, and then fell to the ground, and his whole body seemed to fall apart.

Hu Zhuangmin stood in front of the middle-aged man with a black face, he kicked him very hard just now, and looked down at him, "I don't care what your relationship is with Chen Erwa, but he is now an official member of the Self-Improvement Army, your behavior just now can be regarded as a provocation to our Self-Improvement Army, Lao Tzu can be killed with one shot!" ”

Saying that, Hu Zhuangmin took out a pistol and pointed it at the middle-aged man, and at this moment, the middle-aged man was already too frightened to speak, and his face was so pale that he was ugly.

"Team, captain, please be merciful, he is my only relative." Chen Erwa opened her mouth and begged for mercy.

......

Chen Erwa's incident was just a small episode, and in the end, Hu Zhuangmin also let go of the middle-aged man, but this kind of thing surprised the logistics staff who originally watched the play, it turned out that they were really different from these recruits.

The recruits waited for a while, Zeng Qiang came, he led the stroll to the rostrum in the center with two black circles under his eyes, sat on the chair, Gu Tao, Zeng Degui and several other squad leaders of the Ziqiang Army arrived.

The people in the camp haven't rested well in the past few days, and the demon king Wukong has been in the camp for two days, but he has tossed them enough to choke, even Zeng Qiang hasn't slept much for two consecutive nights, and today he finally sent the monkey out.

Gu Tao took a step, looked at the recruits below and said loudly: "All of them are there, stand upright!! At ease. ”

"After the test, you recruits are qualified, and a gun ceremony will be held for you......"

Gu Tao's words caused a big uproar below, and the recruits no longer maintained their discipline, and they exchanged heads and ears, passing something to each other, almost all the recruits were very happy, and having a gun means having an identity.

A rifle with a military spur and a * was personally issued by Zeng Qiang to these recruits, and he would give these recruits a few words of encouragement for each shot, which made these recruits excited and swore allegiance to Yunyun.

The recruits took the guns and couldn't put them down, played with them for a while, and then put them on their backs in the envious eyes of others, and waited for the next thing calmly.

Seeing that everyone got the rifles, Zeng Qiang nodded and gestured to Gu Tao, Gu Tao then said to the audience: "The following are meritorious personnel, Huang Ming, Chen Erwa, ......"

Five or six people were named on the stage, and their hearts were stirred, and with some expectations, they silently calculated how many benefits might be given.

"Our self-improvement army has always been rewarded and punished, meritorious service is rewarded, and if there is a fault, you have performed very well this time, I hope that more people will perform better in the future......" Gu Tao took out the manuscript that had been prepared a long time ago and began to read, he was not good at words, this manuscript was still written by him begging the bearded man to help him, and he was so verbose that Zeng Qiang fell asleep when he heard it.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Zeng Qiang really couldn't stand it, he pretended to cough, his voice was not loud, but it fell on Gu Tao's ears and turned into thunder, he also felt that he had said a little too much, and forgot that Brother Qiang was still waiting.

"Okay, that's all, several of you have been promoted to captains, responsible for managing these newcomers......"

Several well-maintained pistols were brought up, and the configuration of short guns was only available to the captain rank and above, and these pistols were of a variety of types, ranging from the seven-seven type to the revolver and the barge gun.

Huang Ming rubbed the pistol gently, tears of excitement flashed in his eyes, many people in the audience saw Huang Ming's expression, and their hearts were both envious and jealous, thinking that this coward was the captain, should he fight for it next time?

After the gun ceremony, Zeng Qiang hurried back to catch up on sleep, but suddenly a member of the team came to report that our people had clashed with the army in the gathering place.
