Chapter 195: Retired Veteran
The sentries breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the heavily armed infantry fighting vehicles in the convoy and the two helicopters hovering in the sky. After all, it was impossible for people with such wealth to mess around. ReadМ
The sentry put away the weapon in his hand, came to the black knight who was obviously the main vehicle, and said in a gentle tone.
"Hello Chief, please show me your ID"
Although Cai Wenjie had been promoted to the rank of major battalion commander, because he had not yet received the official documents and epaulettes, he could only show the certificate of captain and company commander and handed it to the sentry.
After the sentry carefully checked the ID, he returned the officer ID to Cai Wenjie in the car, took a step back and saluted.
"Let go!"
Soon the convoy passed the checkpoint, and immediately after passing the checkpoint, it was the military camp.
At this time, a platoon leader arranged by Li Jianjun here had already heard about the arrival of someone, so he had selected a thousand young and strong survivors in the military camp since the morning, half of them male and female.
Because I was afraid of causing panic, I even explained it again.
"Don't worry, the place you are moving to this time is safer than here, with plenty of food and more jobs. It will be easier for you to survive there, so don't be burdened."
Although this platoon leader has never been to the Xinguang Gathering Area, he has heard about it from others. The biggest impression he has about the Xinguang Gathering Area is that the person in charge was able to block at least tens of thousands of soldiers with only one company of soldiers. A zombie tidal wave.
Although there are city walls and natural terrain advantages, it is already extraordinary that just one company can block tens of thousands of zombies. Even in that battle, no one died at all, and they were still intact after the battle. There were not many undamaged troops, but there were not many. Among them, the troops at the Xinguang Gathering Area accounted for one.
Therefore, the platoon leader really wanted to meet the person in charge of the New Light Gathering Place, and if possible, he would also like to get an autograph.
Forgot to mention, this platoon leader's name is Li Tian, a local, 34 years old, and a second lieutenant platoon leader.
"Lieutenant, can I take my family with me?"
A middle-aged man who looked to be at least in his forties quickly raised his hand and asked. During this period, his left hand was holding his wife's right hand. It was obvious that the relationship between the couple was very good.
This question directly stopped Li Tian. In fact, he knew this middle-aged man. He was a veteran who had been retired for ten years. As for why he recognized him, it was mainly because the army where this middle-aged man served was the same army that Li Tian currently serves. The army, and when Li Tian was still a soldier, this middle-aged man was his superior officer.
However, it seemed that the retired veteran did not recognize him, but Li Tian still maintained due respect and said.
"Old squad leader, this is not my decision. You have to ask the person in charge of the New Light Gathering Center in public."
The retired veteran couldn't get the answer he wanted. He thought for a moment and then said firmly.
"In this case, just kick me out of here. I don't want to be separated from my wife."
Although he knew that he might live a good life there, abandoning his wife and living alone somewhere else was not what he wanted. Instead of separating, it was better to stay with her from the beginning.
Hearing that her husband had given up a better life for her, the wife of a retired veteran was moved to tears, but she still pushed her husband and said.
"Lao Hu, you don't have to worry about me. You can go live there by yourself. In today's world, if you don't pay attention, you will die. I don't want to hurt you."
But before he could finish speaking, the retired veteran named Lao Hu hugged his wife and said firmly, eye to eye.
"I will not leave you. As long as I am alive, I will not leave you alone."
The words of the retired veteran and his wife directly moved the surrounding crowd. Someone in the crowd took the lead and started applauding. After a while, everyone in the crowd was applauding the love between the two.
Even Li Tian was no exception. At this moment, the motorcade also arrived at the military camp and stopped at the entrance. Cai Wenjie looked at the applauding crowd in front of him and asked the people next to him with some confusion.
"Are they welcoming us?"
"have no idea"
At this time, Li Tian finally noticed the motorcade that had stopped at the gate of the military camp, and hurried to the gate of the military camp to welcome Cai Wenjie.
"Hello! My name is Li Tian, and I am the temporary person in charge here. Are you from the Xinguang Gathering Place? Welcome!"
As he spoke, Li Tian stretched out his right hand, and Cai Wenjie didn't show any pretense, so he took it naturally and introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you, Second Lieutenant Li. I am the person in charge of the Xinguang gathering place. My name is Cai Wenjie. Today I am here to receive the manpower assigned by Chief Li Jianjun."
When Li Tian heard Cai Wenjie's introduction, he was stunned for a moment, then held Cai Wenjie's right hand with both hands and said excitedly.
"So you are the person in charge of the New Light Gathering Area who, with a company of soldiers, annihilated tens of thousands of zombies. Nice to meet you! Ever since I heard about this, I have always wanted to see with my own eyes the ability to annihilate tens of thousands of zombies. How majestic is the character of Zombie? Now that I see him, he really looks majestic."
When Li Tian shook hands with Cai Wenjie, he never heard anything but praise. He said all kinds of compliments easily, and every word he said was sincere. There was no sense of abnormality. If Cai Wenjie had not had an extraordinary experience, he would have lost himself in Li Tian's praise.
Seeing that Li Tian did not want to stop, Cai Wenjie stretched out his right hand and signaled Li Tian to stop.
"Wait, let's get down to business first. Chief Li Jianjun promised me to prepare a thousand young and strong survivors. Are these the people in front of me?"
Li Tian also felt that he had exaggerated a little, so he answered naturally.
"Yes, that's right. These people in front are the thousand survivors prepared by the chief, but"
"But what?"
Cai Wenjie turned his head and looked at Li Tian and asked in confusion.
"But, Commander, I dare to ask, do you only want one thousand survivors? Do you mind taking a few more people?"
"Why do you ask?"
"It's like this, among these one thousand people, most people don't want to abandon their families, so they ask to take their families with them to the new gathering place. You see, this is also human nature, so can you make an exception and take these people's families to your side?"
In fact, Li Tian just complimented Cai Wenjie so much for this purpose. As a soldier who has been away from home for many years, he knows very well how cruel it is to be separated from his family, especially in this end of the world. Once separated, it means a farewell forever.
