rotten first year

Chapter 430 Chapter 420 Nine: Commendation Conference

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

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

During the period when I was recovering from my injuries, five or six survivors were added to the shanty town one after another.

In total, he has taken in sixteen survivors.

Although the shantytown is a temporary building, there are plenty of insulation layers, bricks and tiles, and the shantytown is just a name.

"Admiral!"

"Admiral."

Seeing that Chen Mo came to the shanty town, the two guards at the gate hurriedly took a step back, bowed slightly, and said hello to Chen Mo.

"Is not It Cold?"

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

"It's not cold. Survivors in the shanty town will take turns to deliver hot water, and the coat you gave is right here."

"Oh? Then why don't you wear a coat?"

Hearing the sound, Chen Mo blinked a little strangely and asked.

"Uh, the coats are given to the survivors, and there are two children. I'm afraid that the electric heater and stove will not be enough for heating, so I gave the coats to the children."

After the words fell, Chen Mo's mouth curled up slightly, and he nodded.

"Okay, when the guard changes, go to the logistics and get a coat by yourself. At this juncture, don't get sick."

Hearing what Chen Mo said, the two guards looked at each other, then with a smile on their faces, they clenched their right hands into fists and put them on their chests.

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

On the top of the small houses that have been built one by one, the smoke is rising. Next to the electric poles that have been built, there are two children of the same age playing with the snowflakes that have not yet disappeared on the ground.

In the house, the sound of chatter and laughter continued to come out.

"Hey! Uncle!"

However, at this moment, one of the children playing in the snow waved towards Chen Mo. Even though his face was red from the cold, he still couldn't bear to put down the snowball in his hand.

But when he heard the child call him uncle, Chen Mo also laughed dumbfounded and shook his head helplessly.

"Little friend, 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 with some expectation.

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

"Hey! Dabao! Don't run around!"

However, at this moment, a woman who leaned out of the house suddenly jumped out and ran to the 14-year-old child.

"Hey, big brother, who are you?"

Then, the woman asked with a smile.

"Oh, nothing, come and have a look."

"Okay, then you can watch as you like, it's time for us to eat."

After all, the woman took the child named Dabao and ran towards one of the houses.

Seeing this situation, Chen Mo could understand. After all, he had only been to shantytowns a few times, and the behavior of these people was within the scope of his understanding.

"Kid, where's your family?"

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

"I have no family, but I have an older brother, but my older brother said he went to find something to eat, and never came back. In the end, I 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 coat and trousers on this child were so tattered.

There were chilblains all over the face.

"Can I have a full meal here?"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Mo asked again.

"It was possible at first, but the uncle said he would come to see me every day, and no one dared to grab my food when the uncle was around."

"now what?"

"That uncle hasn't come to see me for a long time. Now those people see that I am eating slowly, so they are grabbing my food."

After the words fell, Chen Mo took a deep breath and blinked his eyes. The uncle the child was talking about should be one of the fourteen guards who died.

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

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

The child does not know what mistake he has made, and the child does not know why the people around him treat him this way.

The child in front of him is resolute and tenacious. He has no family members. It seems that he and his elder brother have depended on each other since childhood.

But now, the only support is gone, and these survivors are also people who have experienced catastrophe.

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

"Have you ever thought about where your brother went?"

"Thought, maybe, dead."

The child spoke unusually calmly. As he spoke, he squatted on the ground and began to squeeze snowballs.

But different from ordinary people, this child pinched the snowball with each hand, and after a while, the two snowballs were pinched.

"Uncle, can you have a snowball fight with me?"

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

The collapse of order has caused human life to be worthless. Children, in such a background that has gradually become dehumanized, it is already very difficult to survive.

"Have you thought about changing this?"

"When I grow up and grow to be as tall as my uncle, I will also grab their 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.

"it is good."

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

'boom! '

"Wow!"

While breathing, Chen Mo stood up and threw the snowball hard, hitting the child's already red face.

Although he didn't use any force, the child was still hit by the snowball and fell to the ground, looking 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 by the back collar, and spoke.

"The reason is not with you. If you want to solve the problem, you need to find the root cause, and you have found the wrong root cause, not because of your own reasons."

While talking, Chen Mo pointed to his chest.

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

'boom! '

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

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

"Yes! The root of the problem is not you, but me. If you want to solve the problem, you must solve the root."

After the voice fell, the child's eyes slowly became dull, and then calm again.

"Let's figure it out. Some things can't be solved by others. Recognize your own weakness and be brave after knowing your shame."

After all, Chen Mo didn't stop there, and immediately got up and walked out.

"Admiral!"

Seeing that Chen Mo, who had just entered for a while, had come out, the two guards opened the fence door for Chen Mo.

"If a child follows up later, let him out, understand?"

"understand!"

After the words fell, Chen Mo, who looked dazed, no longer stopped and began to walk unsteadily on the road.

'Snapped! '

A slender willow branch slapped a young boy's face fiercely, and the red marks left behind were quickly revealed.

In the courtyard, a middle-aged man wearing clothes commonly worn by the elderly for Tai Chi looked at the little boy in front of him who could not stop shaking.

"Why can't I hide!"

The man scolded with a sallow complexion, as if he was very dissatisfied with the little boy's behavior.

'Clap! '

The hot teardrops slapped on the ground like broken pearls, and the little boy wiped the tears from his face with the clothes he picked up from the garbage dump.

"Why! Answer me!"

Seeing that the little boy didn't speak, the man became even more angry and yelled.

"Because, because I'm too slow."

As if he knew that if he didn't answer the man, he would inevitably suffer physical pain, the little boy answered while holding back his tears.

"So it's still your fault, right?"

The man's tone softened slightly and he asked melancholy.

"Ah."

The little boy buried his head low.

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

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

"No! I don't want to go back! I want to learn my skills!"

As if he heard something extremely frightening, the little boy shook his head wildly in a panic, and wiped away his tears in an instant.

"Study skills? You are not suitable."

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 kid who can only dodge blindly, what right does he have to follow me?"

After the words were finished, the man didn't stop, but took the child with strides and walked towards the vehicle.

"I don't! I don't want to go back!"

The little boy went from being wronged at the beginning, to struggling, then to despair, and then to.

"Let me go! I'll kill you!"

'boom! '

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 man's eyes, crushing the child to death is not much different from crushing an ant, the child actually picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the man.

'Snapped! '

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

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

From afternoon to night, his hands were worn out, and his legs and feet were sore and swollen. The little boy didn't give up until he fell to the ground exhausted.

The man's expression remained as usual when he saw this, but he still took steps towards the little boy.

"Hey!"

I didn't know that this was a trap for a little boy.

'boom! '

A stone hit the man's forehead suddenly, the man was stunned, the little boy didn't stop, he was waiting for the opportunity to snatch the willow stick from the man's hand.

"So, have you found the reason?"

"I'm not weak! I'm fit! I'm stronger than everyone else!"

The little boy said stubbornly as he struggled to grab the willow stick.

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

"call!"

A puff of thick smoke spit out from Chen Mo who was leaning against the outer wall of the base. Looking at the half-burned tobacco in his hand, Chen Mo touched the side of his face with some nostalgia.

If you don't look carefully, you won't find it at all, a shallow scar is slowly twitching.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the shanty town, there were no other figures in sight except for the guards who were patrolling.

"Hey!"

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

One step, two steps, three steps.

the fourth step.

"Uncle! Wait for me!"

As a childish voice sounded, Chen Mo turned his head. The shadows of the little boy with a red face and the little boy with a red face gradually overlapped.

"what happened?"

Turning around, a faint smile flashed across Chen Mo's face, and he asked the little boy who ran up to him out of breath.

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

"Because uncle, I am the owner of this base."

"Then you must be very good."

"of course."

"Teach me my skills!"

"Why?"

"Because I will be stronger than you when I grow up!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

At this second, Chen Mo was stunned, but he also smiled, very happy, but also very lonely.

"What is your name?"

"Zuo Guang!"

"Hahahaha, okay, come with me."

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

In addition, he washed the child and put on new clothes. Looking at the clean little boy, Chen Mo couldn't help grinning.

"Sit here, if you want to become stronger than me, then you will have to suffer more than me. Don't you regret it?"

Taking a bottle of soy milk for the little boy from a convenience store, Chen Mo asked immediately.

"Sorry! But I also want others to treat me respectfully!"

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

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?
Isn't this pushing people into the fire pit?
However, under Chen Mo's repeated requests, Jiang Hai nodded and agreed, and the little boy's journey of experience officially began.

Speaking of Jiang Hai, it is worth mentioning.

It took Jiang Hai and others nearly seven or eight days to successfully divert the tide of corpses at the border, if not.

The large-scale wave of corpses on the border may have spread to the orphanage base by now.

After settling the little boy Zuo Guang, the office was clean. Looking at the mask on the table, Chen Mo tapped his fingers on the table.

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

After muttering, Chen Mo came to the command building again. The last room on the second floor was the maintenance department that Chen Mo had temporarily established.

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

And on the second day after he fell asleep, the people from the parliament headquarters had already taken those fake maintenance team members away.

However, after going through several traps, the base is now full of ghosts, especially the people from the headquarters.

After repeatedly confirming that he was from the headquarters, Guan Hao put down his 40-meter-long sword and asked them to take the person away.

Moreover, the punishments imposed by the headquarters on the First Group did not end there, but most of them had little to do with Chen Mo.

The only thing is that the headquarters promised to add two additional seats to the corps.

Because the full establishment of an admiral has ten corps, but Chen Mo only has eight, that is to say, two people are added on the basis of ten.

In short, Chen Mo now has four vacancies in the general team.

Chen Mo wasn't worried that it would be a blank check for himself, after all, the commendation conference was about to come.

However, this time, there are many benefits for Ika, which need not be elaborated.

On the contrary, Su Yan also took great pains to find out the current situation of Zhuangzi and others.

A few people are lying in the general base in X city sleeping soundly with food and drink, and they don't have to worry about anything every day, except that they can't leave the base.

The rest is nothing.

December is coming, spring is coming, and we are about to face zombies again.

None of this mattered. What Chen Mo was concerned about now was the safety of the base and things that could threaten his own safety.

'Jingle bell! '

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

Don't say a word more in one go.

Looking at the blade in his hand carefully, Chen Mo nodded.

Although it is a bit uglier than the original blade, the feel has not changed much, and the katana has been broken countless times.

In short, this samurai sword has witnessed Chen Mo's growth from the beginning of the end of the world to the present.

Back in the office, Chen Mo started to put on clothes and pack his luggage, and was about to leave for the headquarters in the afternoon.

The day after tomorrow, the commendation meeting mentioned earlier will begin.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo's eyes flashed with strangeness. He left the base twice, and something happened both times.

So this trip needs to be carefully planned and meticulously arranged.

Because this trip to the headquarters is not just going by myself, but the team will accompany them, so the burden of looking after the base falls on Zhang Jin and Sun Min.

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

He ordered all the guards to accept Zhang Jin's dispatch during the days when he was away, and to obey Sun Min in all internal affairs.

This also made the two of them happy, but also a little tired.

Happy.

I am just happy that Chen Mo is willing to hand over all affairs to himself and the two of them, which fully expresses trust.

In fact, this was because Chen Mo was too lazy to do it himself.

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

Only two can rest.

To put it bluntly, if anything goes wrong at the base while Chen Mo is away.

Come on.

The two counselors don't have to do it, just wash up and go to sleep.

At the end of the meeting, Xing Dong had already arranged intelligence personnel outside and returned to the base on time.
