Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Chapter 538 Dad, Mom, I'm so hungry and cold.

weepers...

Hearing that Dante named the temporary battalion headquarters after The Lamenter, everyone present fell into silence for a while.

The Weepers not only remember and lament the heroic past of this earth, but also have a certain sense of revenge.

Seeing that the brothers did not express any objections, Dante continued: The first company of the Wailers Battalion is composed of our six brothers. rare.

Therefore, we are here to start the recruitment of auxiliary personnel to the compatriots present!

In the end, Dante looked down at all the prisoners with his height advantage, and raised his voice so that all the prisoners could hear the words.

The voice fell.

auxiliary and technical staff...um...

If recruited, I don't know if I'm qualified enough?

I have long wanted to join the Resistance Army, and now I can fight with the Battle Angel, I wish for it!

A group of prisoners have different expressions, some are deep in thought, some are self-doubting, and some are as excited and excited as a young man, wanting to follow the Astartes to kill aliens and traitors.

Then... At this time, a bald man with a taller body than the other prisoners raised his hand and asked, Is there any practical benefit to being a member of the Lamenters?

We can follow you to resist the rule of the United Empire. Anyway, without your rescue, we would have died long ago, or been transformed into mechanical puppets.

But we are only mortals, it is impossible to be invulnerable like you battle angels, you may die in the next second on the battlefield, so I want to eat and drink enough before dying, and have the strength and energy to fight.

really.

Hey, I was arrested because I was so hungry.

As soon as the bald-headed words came out, many prisoners immediately echoed.

Good question.

Dante was also afraid that the group of prisoners would not ask for it.

You must know that in every world and universe, there is no shortage of comrades and fighters who fight for their beliefs, but more people will fight with all their strength for some kind of benefit.

In the first chapter of the history lesson learned by their Astartes recruits, it was told that two hundred years ago, when their father formed the mobile task force, he also offered generous offers to the first batch of task forces, which were irresistible. The conditions and benefits provided by the task force will allow the task force to display a fighting spirit that would rather perish with anomalous phenomena and creatures.

If you have no desires, no desires, and no strong beliefs, it is a questionable thing.

So Dante slightly raised his left hand, put it towards the equipment box behind him, and said with a slight smile: There are enough food and drinking water pipes, and there are different flavors for you to choose from.

Not to mention weapons and equipment, they are enough to ensure your survival rate. The most important thing is that when the area under our control gradually expands, we will get more sufficient living supplies, so you don’t have to worry about this.

Okay! Dante's affirmative reply, the bald prisoner said boldly: If that's the case, then I will completely hand over my wealth and life to you! Hahaha! I want to kill the bastard and eat it!

Me too!

Count me in!

So far, the prisoners no longer have any worries, and they believe 100% in Dante's words.

After all, these giants are the descendants of Gods!

What's more, since he was rescued to the present, everything Dante said is true, without any lies, and then there is no suspicion of cheating.

Thank you for your understanding. After Dante nodded, he immediately entered the working state and ordered the group of prisoners:

Among you, if you have served in the military in the old society, or have worked in the police and fire agencies, or you think you have physical strength and military qualities that surpass others, please take the initiative to come out!

heard the words.

A group of prisoners looked at each other's companions, hesitated for a moment, and then more than 200 people, including bald and young people, stepped forward.

Very good. Dante raised his left hand, waved it towards Fenis who was not far away, and continued to order: Please step out of the queue and stand behind Brother Fenis first.

Then please engage in maintenance and engineering in the old society...

next.

Dante quickly divided the more than 700 prisoners into several categories, including candidates for the auxiliary army in charge of combat, candidates for technical personnel in charge of maintenance, and candidates for medical personnel in charge of rescue and so on.

However, this is only the beginning stage, after all, so far, prisoners have signed up independently.

After half a day.

Dante, Finnis, Zelin, Horn, and Yang Luo are responsible for continuing to screen the more than 700 prisoners to ensure that those who pass the test can be employed immediately, or can be quickly started, and perform their duties.

The simplest of them should belong to the screening of the auxiliary army.

After all, among the more than 200 people who volunteered at the beginning, 70% had served in the military, and their occupations in the old society were police and firefighters.

Coupled with the individual equipment sent by the father, it is easy to use.

If you are in a hurry, you will be able to perform combat missions tomorrow.

However, mutual cooperation and tacit understanding are problems, so Dante and his brothers still prefer to be stable first, and training qualified auxiliary troops is the right choice.

Technical or logistical personnel need to maintain and repair individual equipment and some instruments, which is indeed difficult for some prisoners who have never been exposed to the technology of the main universe.

It is difficult to be competent for maintenance tasks in a short period of time, but simple maintenance of equipment and instruments should be possible.

Medical aspects...

Because among the equipment sent over, there are 100,000 doses of injection-type nanorobots.

Moreover, this type of robot can treat any known disease and infection symptoms, and even parasites can be disassembled and transformed into proteins needed by the human body.

Generally speaking, the tasks that medical personnel need to be responsible for are relatively easy. For the time being, they only need to master how to quickly bandage and simple disinfection.

And the only Barr who didn't participate in the selection and training matters used the equipment sent by his father to build a small communication base station.

Moreover, the frequency bands transmitted and received by this communication base station can basically eliminate the possibility of being discovered by City 13 and even the United Earth Government.

Not only that, but based on his experience in cracking the razor train, Barr even allowed the base station to disrupt monitoring and real-time images quietly when it was working.

In other words, unless City 13 and the United Earth Government send a reconnaissance force to the small town of Cromf in person, they will find that this place has been occupied by their weepers.

However, even if the real situation in the small town of Cromf was discovered, the reconnaissance force would not be able to transmit the information.

The most abnormal thing is that as long as the reconnaissance troops enter the radiation range of the base station, Barr can decipher the communication band of the reconnaissance troops and transmit a fake everything is normal reply to the outside world.

In this way, even if the reconnaissance team found them, the 13th city and the coalition government would not be able to know immediately.

And the recruit brothers didn't have the idea of ​​staying in the small town of Cromf for a long time at all. What they wanted was to liberate City 13, and then use this as a benchmark to liberate the entire Eastern Europe and the European continent.

This small town is purely used as a springboard for them.

It doesn't take long, seven days, just seven days of training and preparation, and the name of the Wailers Battalion will be established.

…

late at night.

Boom...boom...

Dark clouds that block the bright moonlight.

The nights in early spring this year seem to be colder than ever.

But weather anomalies are completely insignificant things for most of the human residents living in the 13th city.

In other words, where do people who are plagued by hunger, disease, despair, and confusion have the energy to think about and care about the weather?

I saw that city No. 13, whose urban area and streets were designed in a square shape, seemed to be falling into a low and silent state in accordance with the weather.

Except for the castle located in the center where the raped officials who manage No. 13 city are gathered, and the core building soars into the sky, like a giant tower, which is brightly lit, the other urban areas are only lit with street lights and necessary lighting equipment.

In fact, this should be a true portrayal of all cities after the Seven Hours War, without the so-called coordinated weather.

Pull into view.

Come to the edge of the industrial park on the west side.

There are many six-story old-fashioned apartment buildings here. There is no private car on the street, only heavy trucks entering and leaving the industrial park, or National Guard patrol cars that appear every once in a while.

Passers-by?

There is also no one.

Although there is no curfew in city No. 13, in today's world, where are there any places for entertainment and consumption?

In the colonial metropolises of the main universe, with the most and most common bars and nightclubs, and other places that represent nightlife, it is unthinkable to put them in the 13th city.

As night fell, people who had permission to live in apartment buildings were afraid to turn on the lights. Of course, there was no electricity to turn on the lights, let alone light a fire for fear of attracting the National Guard.

Fortunately, it is now mid-April, and if we add more clothes and bedding at night, the apartment building will not be too cold, at least there will be no more cases of being unable to sleep and being directly frozen to death.

However, people who don't have the right of residence and don't have many contribution points to exchange for shelter and food have to consider which sewer is not too damp and cold, and whether there are discarded cardboard boxes...

It would be great if there is a wooden box.

If you can sleep comfortably and wait for the next day to wake up, just let fate

If you wake up, you will continue to work in the factory, living a life with no future and no hope;

However, those who are willing to voluntarily give up their lives are in the minority. After all, a good death is worse than a hard life.

now.

In the alley on the west side of a food processing factory, people wearing tattered cotton clothes and jackets can be seen everywhere, wrapped in quilts made of discarded newspapers and papers, sleeping on the ground.

Some people trembled, some people's breathing fluctuated, but some people were already motionless.

And a girl with bare feet that were purple from the cold and long black hair that was knotted because she hadn't washed it for too long, a girl about fifteen or six years old was curled up at the entrance of the alley.

Obviously, a ripped down jacket and a pair of thin jeans cannot help a girl to spend the early spring night in Eastern Europe.

Especially the feet without shoes, with swollen wounds on the soles of the feet.

Even if she managed to survive tonight, but tomorrow morning, whether her feet could have blood circulation, or whether the wound infection would lead to festering, etc. would be a problem.

The girl worked in a processing factory across the alley, but when she was finishing today's workload and was about to find a bridge hole, or a sewer entrance to spend the night, she was followed by a group of National Guards.

They wanted her to provide services with high-end food for two days, and the girl firmly refused.

Seeing the girl's resistance, the group of national guards were not angry. Instead, they forcibly pulled off her shoes, and the captain of the guard smiled at her:

Little girl, we are not some heinous villains, we will ask you to serve us wholeheartedly, lest others say that we use force! Hahaha!

After speaking, the group of escorts drove away.

Without shoes, the girl couldn't walk very far, and this alley doesn't welcome newcomers, so she could only lie curled up at the entrance of the alley, sobbing softly:

Dad...Mom...I miss you so much, when will you come back...I'm so cold...so hungry...

Until now, girls still have certain fantasies.

Although the mayor of City No. 13 said that the final counterattack by humans had failed, the girl still firmly believed that the parents who participated in the counterattack must still be fighting there, and that one day they would overthrow the rule of rape and the United Empire.

Hey!

However, at this moment, a patrol off-road vehicle slammed on the brakes and stopped beside the street in front of the alley.

Tread!

Immediately afterwards, four National Guardsmen without octopus heads got out of the car and walked towards the girl, talking and laughing.

approach.

The team leader with a mohawk hairstyle squatted halfway in front of the girl, reached out and patted the girl on the cheek, and persuaded with a hypocritical smile:

How about it, have you thought about it? Do you want to go back with us? There is a stove, hot soup, and hearty food to help you get full.

No...don't...don't touch me!

The girl struggled weakly.

Tsk! Seeing that the girl was still resisting like this, one of the guards said impatiently, Captain, or I can take her back directly!

Oh, it's fine, I underestimated the willpower of this little bastard. The rape captain stood up and signaled his subordinates to move the girl to the car.

Before the Seven Hours War, they were a group of gangster thugs and bastards. After the Seven Hours War, when they saw that City 13 formed the National Guard and recruited members, they volunteered to join it.

Because they are the first batch of guards, they have a lot of power in City 13. What they usually like to do most is to use this power to torture the mentality, spirit, and body of their compatriots to satisfy their empty desires after the end of the world.

only…

It hurts me to death! Why is there a wall here?!

It's just that when the traitorous captain turned around and wanted to move on and get back into the off-road vehicle, he bumped into an air wall.

The impact caused blood to gush out of his nostrils.

At the same time, it and its subordinates also heard a deep voice containing endless anger:

A bunch of scraps.
