Chapter 230 - Entering the Base
As the students worked, there were already people secretly complaining.
"Didn't they come over to save us? Why are they still making us work?"
"We've all suffered so much, I thought the rescuers would take good care of us. I didn't expect to take us as hard labor!"
Someone came to Wu Chengyu's side and whispered, "Squad Leader, how come this thing is not quite the same as what you said?"
Wu Chengyu's face was also a bit embarrassed.
He had always bragged in the past that his father, Wu Jianguo, was an important leader of the Western Mountain Organization.
But now it seemed that the situation was not at all what he had imagined.
His father, it seemed, did not have a very high position in the Western Mountain Organization.
But now in front of the other soldiers, it was inconvenient to talk about these topics.
Wu Chengyu whispered, "This is an extraordinary time, and people won't keep idle people! Work hard!"
"They are just short of manpower, we can rest when we reach the base."
The others had no choice but to do as they were told.
The soldiers outside carried the supplies to the top of the sled.
Unexpectedly, there were still quite a lot of supplies from the Heavenly Green Academy, and they actually filled up the sled!
Those soldiers also nodded in satisfaction.
After they made some simple arrangements, a few people went ahead and pulled the sled back, and Wu Jianguo was also arranged to escort the supplies back.
After all, with his appearance, he couldn't go back at all if he didn't follow the vehicle.
Only two soldiers were left to take Liang Yue and the students back to the West Mountain Base.
"Let's go!"
The soldiers said.
Looking at the far away sled, those students all froze.
"Do you guys mean to say that you'll let us go there on foot?"
"Where's the car? Why didn't you drive over?"
These students were all little emperors and princesses at home, where had they ever traveled that far?
From Tianqing Academy to the Western Mountain Organization's base, it was still at least a dozen miles away!
They had endured starvation for so long, where would they have the stamina to walk ten miles in the snow?
Hearing the students' protests, the two soldiers glanced at each other, their eyes filled with sneers.
"All of you shut your mouths!"
One soldier yelled afterward, and the military's majesty and murderous aura immediately stunned these students.
"Follow me if you want to live, and whoever doesn't like it, get the hell away from me now!"
After that soldier finished speaking impatiently, he turned around and walked away without looking back.
The other soldier said to them coldly, "A word of reminder, no matter what your identities were in the past. Now that it's the end of the world, all of your identities have been wiped out. If you want to live, you have to be obedient."
After saying that he threw down a bag of energy bars and turned to leave.
The students were all numb, obviously still unable to accept such a fact.
Liang Yue said, "Let's follow them!"
The students didn't know any better, but the teachers didn't.
Seeing that Liang Yue had said so, the students who were in a state of confusion had no choice but to follow her closely.
Now, Liang Yue had become the biggest dependency in their hearts again.
The distance of a dozen or so miles was as if it was far away for them.
Cold and hungry, the cold wind whistled and blew on them, and many students collapsed halfway.
The two soldiers also ignored them at all, only waiting slightly as their steps slowed down.
If someone really couldn't get up, they had no intention of going over to help them.
Liang Yue organized the students to help each other.
"Listen guys, right now we have no other path to choose from, we have to head to the West Mountain Base in order to survive."
"Everyone must hold on, the distance is not far!"
With Liang Yue as the backbone, hope gradually flared up in everyone's hearts.
They just walked forward step by step with difficulty, encouraging each other.
More than ten kilometers away, they walked most of the day to arrive.
Can not really hold out, just eat an energy bar.
These energy bars were all military supplies and possessed a miraculous effect that surprisingly kept them from collapsing in the snow!
It had to be said that this was also a miracle in science.
After a long time, they finally arrived at West Mountain.
The West Mountain Organization's base was located in the West Mountain cluster in Tianhai City.
Its entrance was at the foot of a mountain.
Liang Yue and the others followed those two soldiers to this place with great difficulty.
At the foot of the mountain, a huge iron gate slowly opened, revealing a deep, bottomless staircase that led underground.
The two soldiers didn't say anything, they just guarded both sides of the door, then made a wink at them.
The group of people would come over, and even though they were exhausted, they still forced themselves to walk inside.
In their eyes, this place was a safe haven, their hope for a better life!
Liang Yue and the others walked all the way down the steps for an unknown amount of time before arriving in an empty room that resembled a bomb shelter.
There were passages in several directions around them, all locked up with thick green metal doors.
"What next? What are we going to do?"
The students were expectant and scared, not knowing what they were going to face next.
"Don't be afraid, they went through so much trouble to bring us here, they shouldn't want to hurt us."
Liang Yue tried her best to comfort the students.
Just at this time, the door to the right passage suddenly opened with a rumble.
A group of people wearing white protective suits and carrying pesticide-like sprayers walked out.
As soon as they appeared, they immediately raised the spray hose in their hands and started spraying at Liang Yue and the others.
The heavy disinfectant spray enveloped them.
The students coughed repeatedly, but understanding that this was a necessary process to enter the shelter, they could only grit their teeth and persist.
After the disinfection was completed, a middle-aged girl came over and said to them, "Everyone line up in two lines!"
"Let me explain this to you guys. In order to ensure the safety of the shelter's interior, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive sterilization as well as a body test on you all. Please cooperate with us!"
A medic brought over two tables and placed them in the room.
Liang Yue and the others had to line up obediently as requested.
Those medical staff took blood samples from them one by one, and afterward brought them to an empty room where they were told to wait for the test results to come out.
Liang Yue and the others were already tired and numb, they did whatever they were told to do, and they didn't even have the strength or courage to open their mouths and ask a question.
A group of people were locked in the room.
During this time, someone in protective clothing provided them with food.
The food was placed on a plate, a white sticky liquid, and it was not known what it was.
But the crowd was really too hungry to care about that much, rushing up and gobbling it all up.
The taste of that thing seemed to be not bad, it tasted a bit like yogurt, but it was definitely not yogurt.
After eating, everyone's strength recovered a bit, and some people began to sleep.
An unknown amount of time passed before a fat woman in her fifties wearing glasses appeared.
Beside her, Wu Jianguo also followed.
Wu Chengyu was excited to see his father, "Dad!"
Wu Jianguo glared at Wu Chengyu, signaling him to keep quiet.
The glasses woman glanced at Wu Chengyu and a smile flashed in her eyes.
She asked Wu Jianguo, "Is this your son?"
Wu Jianguo's figure was a bit hunched over as he said fawningly, "Yes, Director Xu. He is my son, Wu Chengyu."
Director Xu nodded and didn't say anything more.
Instead, he said to them, "After examination, there are no infectious diseases or suspicious germs on your bodies. This is very good! Come with me next for a cleaning, and then you'll be sent to the fourth survival barn."
