"Sigh, let's not talk about it!"
Liao Wentao, who was sitting beside Chu Han, shook his head. His voice was filled with helplessness. "I used to live in a place with terrible conditions and accidentally contracted a hidden disease. It's impossible for me to become a Homo Evolutis. My combat ability is not good, and I would pant after running a few steps. It's natural for me to be kicked out of the base."
"So they sent you to the fields to do manual labor?
It's hard for you to even eat now, not to mention staying warm! "A few people beside him were angry. They felt that the military of Fortitude Base was too unreasonable.
Liao Wentao was silent for a while before he laughed bitterly. "In fact, I only got this job because my former comrades got in through the back door. With my current stamina, it's actually quite difficult for me to do farm work."
"You guys used to guard the border, and you're even a junior officer!"
Someone started to feel indignant and cursed. "They just stripped you of your military rank without a single cent of compensation. Isn't it too much to deny your past?!"
"Who asked the apocalypse to come?
What can I do? "
Liao Wentao smiled in a seemingly unintentional manner. "I'm just a second lieutenant, not anymore. At the end of the first year of the apocalypse, everything was rearranged. Those who were below the general rank and confirmed that they would not become a Homo Evolutis were all released, and those who became a Homo Evolutis were all given the rank of second lieutenant. Those who had the chance to become a Homo Evolutis but had yet to do so were all demoted."
"So you guys didn't resist?"
Chu Han joined the discussion at the right time. His face was filled with indignation and anger. He even slammed the table. "You guys are all veterans, but they're too merciless!
This kind of base is so ruthless, it's not a place for humans to stay! "
"You can't say that."
Liao Wentao laughed bitterly. "There are cases of demotion as well. Those who used to be part of the military and were lucky enough to become a high-level Homo Evolutis, of course the higher-ups would give them preferential treatment. That's why our base's leader, Lu Yi, is already a lieutenant general at such a young age!"
"He's not even as good as that guy named Chu Han. He didn't even do anything, but he's already an admiral." Someone started to be dismissive. "What do you think of this situation?
They are suppressing the military personnel of the civilized era and favoring the new recruits of the end of the Yuan Dynasty. You have to know that Chu Han's rank is lower than Lu Yi's, and Lu Yi is from a military family, but he is a head lower than Chu Han. This suppression is ruthless, and there is no mercy at all! "
Chu Han was speechless. What the hell does this have to do with me?
Please don't be so one-sided, this daddy has fought two battles, whether it was the Battle of the Ghost City or the Battle of the Wilderness, which one of them didn't I defeat the enemy with a smaller number and annihilate them?
And favoritism?
Biased my ass!
Look at Lu Yi, other than being polite to him on formal occasions, has there been any lack of open and veiled strife in private?
"Hey!
Chu Han being able to become an admiral is naturally his ability, and winning those two battles is his good luck! "
Liao Wentao opened his mouth and said, "But compared to the veteran generals, he is absolutely incomparable, so among the 15 generals in China, he can only be considered as the last."
F * ck?
Chu Han's face darkened, the last egg. F * ck, thank you for saying that, it completely eliminated the last trace of guilt in his heart. In the next two days, the plan in Fortitude Base will be carried out as scheduled!
"But there is still some face, otherwise, how do you think with my physical strength, I survived the initial chaos of the apocalypse?"
Liao Wentao gave everyone a look to calm down, and his voice continued, "At least it gave us a buffer time. Now, the majority of the people in the military are new humans, not only in Fortitude Base, I'm afraid that even the higher-ups of Shangjing Survivor Base have mostly fallen into the hands of high-grade new humans, right?
Even the higher-ups of our Fortitude Base don't dare to say that all the power is concentrated in the hands of Lu Yi, right? "
Chu Han sneered in his heart, and after capturing the flash of unwillingness in Liao Wentao's eyes, he pretended to be angry and said, "Those new humans have no education at all. God knows what kind of people they were in the civilized era, they don't even have a little bit of a heart of justice, they are always greedy and excessive. Do they even deserve to wear the military uniform they are wearing?!"
"Exactly!
What do the higher-ups of Fortitude Base eat? "
The people next to him were also incomparably angry, "If you old troops who really know how to fight and understand strategy are removed, and only rely on individual combat power to promote the new people, can you really revive China?"
"Ah!
Now it is already the world of the new humans, even the higher-ups of China have been infiltrated. In such a violent and impetuous world, it is already not easy for us to survive. "
Liao Wentao sneered, "Do you think that a person like me, who has no use to the base, has the right to be allocated a rich share of resources?
Wake up, look at how many people in this base can't eat?
The most fundamental problem of food hasn't been solved, and the higher-ups of Fortitude Base have no choice but to make such a decision. I am indeed no longer of much use to the base. "
"Are there still many people like you?"
Chu Han suddenly changed the topic at this moment, pretending to inquire unintentionally, "You previously said that you got this job with the help of your former comrade. Your comrade is a new human?
Why didn't he help you arrange an easy job? "
"How can there be so many easy jobs?"
A few farmers next to him sneered and said, "Making clothes, managing logistics, and even opening a restaurant here, do you think these people don't have a background?
Those new human officers who have just joined the army, they don't have families or friends? "
"This?"
Chu Han was shocked, his eyes opened wide, and then his face couldn't help turning from green to black. He gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't this forcing people to die!"
"You just asked me if there are people like me. In fact, most people are like me, have hidden diseases or limited physical strength for various reasons. In short, more than half of them have starved to death since the apocalypse two years ago."
Liao Wentao's expression had a trace of helplessness and sadness, "And those veterans who haven't been fired by the base and haven't become a new human are all doing tiring and undignified jobs, just like Liu Xiang who guards the gate. He used to be our squad leader, and I was able to get my current job because of his help. However, he hasn't become a new human, so even if he's excellent in all aspects, he can only be a guard at the gate."
"Hmph!
Twelve hours a day, seven days a week without rest. "
Someone said with dissatisfaction, "His job isn't any easier than yours. The higher-ups of Fortitude Base are really disappointing."
Chu Han was stunned. The veteran guard at the gate left a deep impression on him. He was indeed a talented person, and he even thought about the construction of the base wholeheartedly, thinking of ways to pull passing new human beings into Fortitude Base. At that time, he thought it was strange that such an outstanding person could at least enter the General Staff Department, but now he was reduced to a guard at the gate of the base?
