Chapter 343 Prayer
"It's raining again……"

The lame veteran held on to the door frame, looking at the heavy rain pouring down outside the window, his tone was a bit somber.

Moisture breeds bacteria and the room has a musty smell.

Along with the wounds and decay of the body and the stench of uncleanness, the air seems to smoke the eyes.

However, the heavy rain falling from the sky was mixed with a cool breeze, which washed the ground and at the same time blown away some of the turbid air that seemed to be colored.

Let people take a few more breaths.

Tiger hopped to the door with one foot, panting for the fresh air outside.

This room is always stuffy, and even if you lean close to the door, you can't smell any fresh air... The air doesn't circulate very well.

We all rot together in this room.

Although eating and drinking are not missing for them, these veterans with limited mobility are always unable to move freely and can only stay in this big courtyard.

The open-air courtyard in the center of the compound is the largest area for everyone's activities.

Looking at the raindrops falling from the sky, Tiger's eyes were slightly distracted——

The future...will this be the case?
A piercing pain suddenly spread from the broken leg to the brain along the nerves.

Pain spreads throughout the body and is clearly felt by every cell.

"..." Hu frowned and endured the sudden pain, the remaining fingers of his right hand pinched the door until it turned white.

The same thing caught the attention of the veterans around him.

After Hu's piercing pain passed, the veteran patted Hu's shoulder, "Why? It hurts again?"

"Hmm~" Hu responded softly, his lips were white, and his skin was peeling due to dryness, looking embarrassed.

He patted his shoulder again, and the veteran sighed, "It's normal, it's all from the pain."

The medical department of the army treats the injuries of these veterans who are about to be abandoned very simply. Being able to save their lives is already the greatest gift, so don't expect perfect treatment of the injuries.

Without perfect conditioning and care, even if the severed limb has already healed, it will always suffer from hidden injuries in the future.

Every veteran is like this.

Tiger is no exception.

"I think most of you... don't seem to be like this?" Feeling the piercing pain gradually dissipating, Hu Cai fixed his eyes and asked curiously.

Will you get used to and become numb to the pain?
Maybe.

But Tiger doesn't think so.

This pain comes from the body, it happens occasionally, and it is difficult to get used to.

He doesn't know how others feel, but he feels that even after another ten years, he will still feel unbearable pain during the attack.

Soldiers are not unafraid of pain, but they have a higher responsibility than painful torture.

The past was... the present?

Not to mention the pain, Hu glanced behind him - facing the extremely turbid and even disgusting air in the room, the other people behind him could be calm.

It seemed unbelievable to him not to come out for a change of breath at this rare opportunity.

"Us..." The old soldier hopped on one foot and found a more comfortable position leaning against the door, smiling with his yellow-brown irregular front teeth, "I'm used to it."

"However..." The veteran hesitated for a moment, glanced at Tiger's clean body, and said with some hesitation: "If you really feel the pain, you can also... pray."

"pray?"

"Yeah... pray." The veteran looked out the window with misty eyes, "Pray, there will be an answer."

"Who do you pray to?"

"do not know……"

"do not know?"

"I don't know." The veteran nodded, "The benevolent Lord of Life will treat every living being in pain equally."

"Snapped!"

On the wall of the yard, a yellow-brown shadow flashed away, only a large package was thrown over by a powerful force.

It just passed over the tiger's head, and hit the ground inside the house heavily.

The veteran who had been guarding the door suddenly laughed even happier, as if he had been waiting for this scene to happen, "This is a gift..."

He jumped on one leg and jumped towards the direction of the big package behind him. At the same time, other veterans who had been resting in the house also crawled over together.

Limbs are weak, but the scene looks somewhat sensational.

Hu shook his body unconsciously, even though the piercing pain just now didn't make him feel any chill, at this moment, there was an astonishing chill all the way to the top of his head along the tailbone.

"Who is that?"

Even so, Tiger still had the guts to move over slowly and asked the veteran who was accosting him.

"do not know……"

Responding to Tiger's question casually, the accosting veteran unwrapped the package made of water-proof oil skin.

The things inside were spread out, and there were some not-so-delicate but practical supplies—water, food, and bedding.

Neither was particularly clean, but enough to provide warmth.

Especially on this cold rainy night.

The daily supplies provided by managers can guarantee their basic survival needs, but no one doesn’t like more supplies...and the "goodwill" that comes with supplies.

"Who is that?" Tiger asked again.

"I don't know." The old soldier replied again: "I don't care. We just need to know that there are still people who care about us trash, that's enough."

"Why did he do that?" Tiger asked subconsciously.

It is not only asking others, but also asking yourself.

"Why?" The palm of the veteran's approving supplies paused, and then he smiled, "I also want to know why..."

Worse than being abandoned is not being needed anymore.

If there's "someone" who really needs these cripples... that'd be great.

……

"Open the door!" Xu Ruoguang, who was wearing a rain cape, put one hand on the hilt of his waist and stood in front of a rotten black wooden door and ordered with a cold face.

The accompanying veteran with prosthetic limbs tried to negotiate with embarrassment, "Captain... don't we need to investigate here?"

Xu Ruoguang turned his head to look at him coldly, his eyes were sharp, "Do you think the regulations made by your lord are just a piece of paper?"

"But this is the address of our compatriots..." The veteran's face was a little ugly, but he didn't dare to refute it forcefully.

Xu Ruoguang is the airborne captain appointed by the adults to manage them. Of course, it is hard to feel at ease without a confidant in such a large black street guard, and they all understand.

It's just that after fighting openly and secretly in the past few days, they unexpectedly discovered that the captain who came by air had some tricks.

It looks immature, but quite capable.

The executive ability is in place, the decision-making is decisive, and there is still some prestige among them.

It's just that at this moment...it's found on my own family.

"Captain...we are just afraid of dirtying your eyes." Another veteran approached from the side, "It smells very strong inside, and we generally don't want to go in."

Xu Ruoguang kept a straight face, "Doing things for adults, any difficulties are not difficulties. Don't you want the chaos of that day to happen again? Open the door!"

"……Yes."
