Looking at the group of people in front of her, Fu Hongyu couldn't imagine what they had experienced! Even the group of people that Fu Hongyu met when he was in the most difficult time were all over the place.

If the soldiers were to point their guns at this group of people at this time, and replace them with themselves, Fu Hongyu would probably become more and more suspicious of this world.

"Let your soldiers put down their guns, they are not enemies!"

It was the first time that Fu Hongyu had such a hideous face, even though no matter how hideous she looked, it would not make people feel terrible.

The platoon commander looked at Fu Hongyu and hesitated: "The two of you will stay to protect Minister Fu and the two brothers from the Ministry of Health, and the others will put down their guns and follow me!" ”

The platoon commander didn't want Fu Hongyu to take risks, judging from the appearance of this group of people, although they were still ordinary people, no one would guarantee that they would not do something vicious at this time.

Although the soldiers put down their guns, they were always on guard, and spread out around the platoon commander in battle formation.

"Who are you? Why surround us? ”

Since the other party has no intention of making a move, the platoon commander can only shout to the other party first to see what the other party means. If there is no malice, it is better.

As they got closer and closer to the group, the platoon commander found that their eyes were staring at the truck, and their eyes were almost green.

"Platoon commander, don't get ahead, be careful!" The squad leader reminded him.

The scene was silent, no one answered the platoon commander's words, and the squad leader felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so he carefully reminded the platoon commander.

The platoon commander also frowned and thought to himself, if you are a bandit, you must have a bandit leader, if you can't have a second master, if you meet a beggar gang, you must also have a gang leader or helmsman or something like that.

But now no one has accosted him, is there any other arrangement for this group of people.

In fact, this group of people has no arrangement at all, they are just a group of hungry peasants, and the years of war will be exhausted even in the rich family.

After entering the winter, coupled with the outbreak of the epidemic, the people have already been displaced, not to mention food and clothing, and now they don't even have a place to live.

And the outbreak of the epidemic is not just affected in one place, more and more people are dying every day, and many villages have long been empty, and there is no grain of food.

The homeless people are not as good as the bandits, and in order to find a bite to eat, they can only come out in groups.

"Who are you leading?"

The platoon commander still didn't give up, so many people must have a master, otherwise they wouldn't all appear here by such a coincidence.

A middle-aged man walked out of the middle of the group, and the reason why he could be seen as a middle-aged man was because he was wearing a long robe, at least from his face, it was not obvious that he was a refugee.

But the middle-aged man didn't speak, but looked at the platoon commander carefully, and then looked at the two trucks behind him.

"The army?" After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and spat out two words.

"Commander-in-Chief Hu of the Northeast Military Region, he was ordered to carry out the mission here!" The platoon commander reported the number of his unit.

The middle-aged man stood in place, he was stunned, as if he was hesitating about something, and turned to look at the group of people behind him, as if he wanted to tell them that they needed to leave.

However, hunger had already overcome their reason, and it was easy for them to come, but it was not so easy to let them go after seeing things.

"Are you having any difficulties? Need our help? ”

The platoon commander didn't want to take these people to do it, after all, they were all people of their own country, if they weren't forced into a corner, who would want to wander around in such cold weather?

"We need to eat!"

The man in the lead didn't say much, he seemed to be worried that he couldn't control the group of people around him.

Robbing military vehicles, no matter who you are, is the only way to die. The army doesn't care if you're forced by hunger or for any reason, once the army's supplies are robbed, the army will definitely not let them go.

He did not dare to risk robbing military vehicles, but he still had one way to go, and that was to beg.

For them, it makes no difference whether they rob or beg, and the ultimate goal is to fill their hungry stomachs.

"How much food do we have in the car?" The platoon commander asked.

"It's not much, we only have enough food for us for ten days, and if we give it to them, I'm afraid the rest won't be enough for us to last for three days."

Obviously, this group of homeless people is already hungry, and even giving them two carts of food may not be able to satisfy them.

"Stay for a day and move the rest out!"

"Platoon commander...... We ......"

"I can't care about it so much, let's find a way!"

The homeless people may not find food for three days and three nights outside, and for them, the soldiers, it is a big deal to return and bring food back.

"Yes!"

The soldiers took the food off the cart and put it in the clearing.

"It's all here, let's step back!"

"Wait!"

When the platoon commander asked his soldiers to retreat, Fu Hongyu stepped forward.

"They need to be checked, and there are situations that need to be asked!"

Most of these displaced people were forced to come here by the epidemic, and this is when Fu Hongyu needs to understand the situation.

The platoon commander also knew that Fu Hongyu had come to the Northeast for their mission, and now it was indeed a good opportunity to understand the situation.

"The command here has been handed over to you as a squad leader, and the three of you will carry food and come with me to understand the situation!"

He couldn't let Fu Hongyu take the risk until the situation stabilized, so he decided to go and see for himself what the situation was with this group of people.

Apparently the group of people on the other side is also wary of them, and although they are too hungry to think, it is human instinct to be wary of strangers.

When the platoon commander approached with the soldiers carrying food, they instinctively clenched the weapons in their hands, as if they were planning to attack the platoon commander at any time.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just bringing you food, the others are not malicious, if you don't believe us, you can search us, we don't have weapons."

The platoon commander believed that there was still goodwill in the hearts of this group of people, and the middle-aged man who led the group did not seem to be the kind of person who fought for his life, they were just desperate.

"Put the food down, you can go!"

They have no ill intentions, but they don't trust strangers either.

"We have a doctor in our team, I think some of you should be sick, if we need to, we can set up camp now and treat you."

Sending the food out, they don't have enough food left to keep them moving on to their destination. It would be better to set up a makeshift camp here, and now that they have just set off, it will be too late to go back and get food.

And this group of people didn't look so healthy, and someone must have been sick after starving and freezing in the snow and ice.

The use of healing as an excuse was the easiest way to get close to them, and it was when the troops reasserted their prestige among these people.

When they heard that there were doctors in the team, most of them didn't care, but the middle-aged man's eyes began to light up, as if he had something to say.

"I am not your enemy, our army exists to protect you!"

The platoon commander saw that the middle-aged man was a little shaken, and immediately understood it with emotion.

"I'll need to talk to them, but I'll make sure you don't hurt us."

The people still have a little trust in the army, even if they become homeless, after all, the army is their own, and what the army has done since its establishment is still obvious to all.

"Tell the third squad leader to let him take people back, bring more food back, and the rest of the people will set up a temporary camp in a sheltered place, remember to protect Minister Fu's safety."

There is hope for discussion, so he hurriedly arranged the matter.

However, food seems to be more convincing than medical treatment, and when it reaches them, it is not distributed at all, and it is coaxed in an instant.

The platoon commander shook his head helplessly, if he paid attention to order and distribution at this time, I am afraid that he would be torn to pieces by these dozens of hungry and crazy people.

Food is more valuable to these displaced people than gold.

Fortunately, there was enough food for everyone to get a little bit. While the homeless people were greedy for food, the warriors also set up tents and lit bonfires.

After some understanding, the platoon commander learned that the middle-aged man's name was Li Ren, and before the plague broke out, he was a teacher in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns, no wonder although he looked a little embarrassed, his temperament was different from these people.

Ten miles and eight towns suffered from the plague, only a few dozen of them escaped, because Li Ren had been outside for a few years and had seen the outside world, after some persuasion, the villagers followed them to leave their hometown.

Of course, most people are unwilling, but those who are willing to follow him have survived to this day, and most of those who did not follow him have already gone with him.

"When the plague broke out, I just didn't think it was normal, many of them just thought it was a common cold, and it was the first time I saw someone die because of a fever for three days."

When the epidemic first broke out, most people reacted the same way as Li Ren, except that it was just a cold caused by the cold weather.

But when someone began to die from a cold constantly, years of study experience told Li Ren that this was not an ordinary cold, but a plague.

In the early stage of the outbreak of the epidemic, he had done his best to save his blind date, but no one believed what he said, especially some local half-witted doctors, who not only did not treat the disease seriously, but also took the opportunity to collect money.

About half of the dozens of people he brought out were his relatives.

Later, they walked through many villages, and the epidemic became more and more serious, until in the end they did not dare to pass through the places where there were people, they were afraid of being infected, and they did not dare to approach strangers.

One village after another turned into ghost villages, and no one came or went, and those who followed him believed that this was really a plague that could take their lives at any time.
