Several people quickly completed the inspection and found that there were no abnormalities and could enter the temporary camp.
But because Mu Tang still needs to be quarantined for 24 hours and Lu Yan wants to accompany her, Lin Wanwan and Ren Yu can only enter the camp and settle down by themselves first.
Because it was a temporary camp, the conditions were not very good. The isolation room was in a carriage and was very small.
As soon as Mu Tang entered, he became restless and huddled in the corner unconsciously.
Lu Yan just finished talking to Qi Yang, and as soon as he came in, he found her huddled in the corner of the room with her hands on her knees, feeling helpless.
"...Mu Tang?" Lu Yan called softly.
"ah?"
Mu Tang raised his head sharply with a panic look on his face. When he saw it was Lu Yan, he breathed a sigh of relief and his voice was a little weak:
"You're here?"
Then he stood up and walked over, reaching out to hug Lu Yan.
Just as Lu Yan was about to open his arms, the door to the room was suddenly opened. Qi Yang stood outside the door and said to Lu Yan:
"Can you come out for a moment?"
When Mu Tang heard that Lu Yan was leaving, his expression immediately became abnormal. He stood next to Lu Yan, carefully held Lu Yan's little finger, and looked at him uneasily.
Qi Yang could tell the relationship between the two at a glance, so he said in a deep voice:
"You can come out together."
Mu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lu Yan out of the room.
As soon as they got outside, they knew why Qi Yang had asked them to come out, because Niba kept circling the car that isolated them, opening his big mouth from time to time and making tentative gestures.
Looks like they were trying to figure out where to tear the car apart.
Several soldiers raised their guns and pointed them at Mud.
But now Niba has completely lost his initial vigilance and has long turned a blind eye to these things that can only tickle him. His eyes only focus on his owner's car.
Occasionally, if one or two warriors get too close, it will immediately blow up its hair and turn around to growl at them.
This state continued until it saw Mu Tang get out of the car.
I saw this huge dog immediately changed from its previous fierce appearance. The whole dog was covered with a soft light effect, and it happily rushed towards its owner. Its huge body instantly lay on its back with its belly exposed, acting coquettishly. Sobbed twice.
Mu Tang happily hugged it and rubbed it vigorously, then stretched out her hand to scratch its belly.
"Woo--" Niba whined happily and began to roll crazily on the ground.
Despite its huge size, it is no different from an ordinary domestic dog.
Qi Yang: "..."
He originally thought that Lu Yan was the owner of the dog, but he didn't expect that it was this petite little girl.
"You need to make it quiet, otherwise it will be difficult for us." Qi Yang said.
Lu Yan thought for a while and asked:
"Can you open the sunroof of the carriage so that it can see Mu Tang?"
He just noticed that there was a small partition window on the top of the isolation car, only as big as Mudba's eye.
People can't get out, and opening it won't affect isolation.
Niba has always been inseparable from Mu Tang. If he can't see her for 24 hours, he might get agitated, so he might as well let him see her.
Furthermore, he found that Mu Tang seemed extremely agitated in a closed space. It might be better to open a window so that she could see outside.
This was not a big deal, Qi Yang agreed casually.
Mu Tang re-entered the isolation room, but this time she was no longer alone. She was accompanied by Lu Yan, and from time to time a big green eye would appear above her head, looking inside desperately.
Accompanied by Niba's coquettish whimpers, Mu Tang's claustrophobic mood dissipated a lot, and she was finally able to rest peacefully on Lu Yan's shoulder.
The soldiers guarding the car outside could see a strange scene all night long.
The huge dog was lying on the car, tilting its head and looking desperately into the car. While looking, it swung its tail wildly and barked twice when it was excited.
Twenty-four hours passed quickly, and the two were finally able to enter the temporary camp.
Niba shook his tail and followed them swaggeringly.
The camp was very simple, just two rows of army green tents with simple folding beds.
Food was distributed uniformly. A large pot was set up not far away, and soldiers cooked the rice.
The faces of the people around him were lifeless and lifeless.
"It's time to eat." Someone shouted loudly.
This sentence was like water dripping into a hot oil pan, and the camp exploded in an instant.
The survivors who were still lifeless just now were already holding food serving utensils and swarmed towards the place where the soldiers were cooking.
The place was surrounded by a thick wall of people in an instant. People were so crowded that they had to raise their hands high and shake their utensils from side to side, trying desperately to squeeze away the people next to them.
Everyone had ferocious and longing expressions on their faces, and their eyes fell directly on the pot——
Food that was once everywhere has now become the most precious thing.
The warrior who was cooking the rice knocked on the edge of the pot with the big spoon in his hand and shouted:
"Get in line, get in line!! There's something for everyone, don't be anxious, the elderly and children will get priority!"
But such a voice seemed particularly small amid the noise of the crowd.
The crowd turned a deaf ear and continued to crowd in that direction like a school of fish caught in a fishing net.
The elderly without young family members and the children without elders were isolated behind the human wall, looking at the crowded crowd in front of them with despair and numbness.
A woman fell in front of the pot and pleaded with a trembling voice:
"Comrade, I have elderly people at home, can you give us a little more?"
Someone next to me immediately shouted:
"Fart! That old man in your family is half dead. Yesterday I heard you said you wanted him to fend for himself! Are you shameless enough to ask for food today?! Don't waste food here!!"
"How come it's a waste of food if you give it to the old man?! You heard me saying everywhere you go that I'm going to throw him there!!"
The woman's expression suddenly became ferocious, and her voice was mixed with eagerness and guilt. She quickly turned back to look at the soldier who was fetching food:
"Comrade, don't listen to his nonsense, that's my father-in-law, how could I leave him!"
"Your husband is dead, so what's the point of taking your father-in-law with you? He's just an old procrastinator. Who would believe that you would take him to escape?!"
The man immediately shouted.
Someone behind him also shouted dissatisfied:
"I say you two, if you want to quarrel, go to the back and don't stop me from the front. If you don't eat, someone else will!"
"That's right..."
The crowd was shouting anxiously and dissatisfied, and no one cared about what would happen to the poor old man in their words.
Qi Yang frowned and strode over.
The crowd in the crowd turned around and cursed at first, but when they saw it was Qi Yang, they all silently shut their mouths.
Qi Yang strode to the pot, took the spatula, and knocked hard on the edge of the pot.
The harsh sound of metal collision finally caught the attention of the crowd. Everyone turned around and saw Qi Yang shouting:
"Get in line! The elderly and children come first to get food. Anyone who jumps in line will not be served! Those who cause trouble will be kicked out of the camp!!"
There were still people in the crowd who wanted to argue, but they were immediately grabbed by the people around them:
"He is in charge, don't argue with him!!"
The man could only shut his mouth angrily.
People are like this, most of them bully the weak and fear the strong. If you are gentle with him, he will think that you are easy to negotiate and will desperately want to cross your bottom line.
Once he gets tough, he will lower his head and bend away from you knowing that he will hit a wall.
Qi Yang put the spatula back into the soldier's hand and whispered:
"Fight well, watch closely, don't give to those who cause trouble!"
The warrior nodded.
At this moment, a frightened and short scream suddenly came from the crowd, and then, the crowd that had just been calm suddenly became restless again.
Qi Yang turned around and saw Niba's huge figure appearing behind the crowd.
"Quiet!!"
Qi Yang shouted, then passed through the crowd, came to Lu Yan and Mu Tang, and whispered:
"follow me."
Then he took two people and one dog and walked deeper into the camp.
Most of the passing survivors voluntarily moved away when they saw Mud Ba, hiding in the dark and watching them silently and vigilantly.
Occasionally, some ignorant children would run out and want to take a closer look, but their parents would immediately catch them and protect them in their arms defensively.
Lu Yan secretly observed the surroundings all the way, and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy. The situation was much more tragic than he imagined.
Along the way, we often see injured soldiers. Just now, a soldier with his head wrapped in gauze was carrying a box and passed by them.
Lu Yan saw the contents of the box out of the corner of his eye——
There was a box full of epaulettes and five-pointed stars embroidered on clothes, with dark stains of blood on them.
At a glance, it is estimated that there are several hundred, or even more.
These things are very familiar, and Qin Zhen has many of them, torn from the bodies of sacrificed soldiers.
The expression on Qi Yang's face didn't change much. He was obviously used to this, even numb.
When they came to the place where a few people were resting, Ren Yu and Lin Wanwan were already there. Qi Yang casually said:
"Hurry up and take a rest. The last team with contact last night has returned, so we are ready to return to the base tomorrow morning."
Lu Yan suddenly asked in a low voice:
"How many came back?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Qi Yang's eyes. He didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, but finally answered:
"one third."
