Dean dragged his body back to the residential area. He spent five copper coins to call a carriage near the high wall and sent it directly to Lin Kang street. It was too late today so he had no time to buy sulfur and saltpeter. Moreover, in a few days he would go to the scavenger training. Judging from the degree of secrecy of this organization, most of the things brought there would be strictly checked.
Although in this world people only knew how to use sulfur for dyes and pesticide production, but it was also a low-toxic dangerous product.
Jura and her husband were obviously anxious. When they saw Dean come back, they were obviously relieved. The next moment they smelled a strong stench. Gray frowned and pulled away: "What's wrong with your body? Why are you so dirty?"
Dean coughed and said: "I fell in the slums."
"Why are you still asking? Hurry up and take a bath. I'll boil some hot water for you." Jura pinched her nose and ran to the kitchen.
Dean went into the bathroom and put the super chip into a crack in the floor. After a while, Jura brought a basin of warm water: "You need to take a bath. Do you want me to help you?"
"No." Dean quickly refused.
"Well, then you wash yourself slowly. Wash yourself clean." Jura put the water on the ground and turned to go out.
Dean looked at the small basin of water and smiled slightly in his heart. He suddenly missed the old showers. Unfortunately, in this world, the radiation in the water couldn't be completely filtered, at least in the residential area. This made him eager to step into the commercial area as soon as possible.
…
…
Three days later.
A tall carriage came to the door of Jura and her husband's house. The carriage was pulled by a very strong horse. It was about two meters high and was wearing exquisite armor. Its black hair was mixed with some brown hair. It seemed like a hybrid breed.
A young man wearing a soft armor came down from the carriage. He was thin but stood straight like a spear. He looked at the house number and went forward to knock on the door.
Jura and her husband, who were eating breakfast, saw the carriage from the window. Their hearts unanimously said: "Come in." Jura immediately went to open the door and enthusiastically said: "Please come in."
The young man saw that she seemed to know his purpose, but he still showed his identity card. It was a medal with crossed swords, representing the identity of a 'guard'. He didn't enter the house, he said: "No, I'm in a hurry. This time I'm here to take your children to the military training ground in the commercial district. You must have received the notice from the top. Then get ready, I'm in a hurry."
Jura didn't expect him to be so anxious: "Excuse me officer, how long will this child go to military training?"
The youth said calmly, "The training period is three years. In these three years, there will be one day of vacation every month to come back and reunite with you. However, my suggestion is that you should take advantage of the vacation to have a good rest or supplement your knowledge. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to last for three years."
Jura's face changed, "So hard? What happens if I'm eliminated? "
"Don't worry. Even if I'm eliminated, I can still get a small position," the youth in the standard soft armor said indifferently.
Gray was relieved when he heard their dialogue. He turned around and saw Dean who was still eating slowly. He couldn't help but say: "You are not going to prepare? Don't let the officer wait too long."
Dean sighed. He hated being interrupted when he was eating. In the past, he would have lost his temper. Looking at Gray's eyes, he could only put down the food roll, clapped his hands and went back to his room. He had already folded two sets of clothes and put them into the linen backpack. Of course, the most important thing was his super chip. He had already put it into the pocket of one of the clothes.
After everything was ready, Dean came to the door and looked up at the youth in the standard soft armor: "Let's go."
Jura's eyes were full of reluctance as she said: "Have you put everything on? Clothes, washing cups …"
"It's all packed." Dean waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry.
"Be careful when you go there. Don't fight with other children. Just bear with them."
Dean's heart warmed. Although the last time he was sold to Avril's house, he could see that Jura was still sincere to him. If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame his feelings. After all, it was an adoptive relationship, so he was very grateful.
"I will. You also have to take care of yourself. The temperature is high in the 'black death season'. Open the windows to ventilate. Don't get infected." Dean said.
Jura was an emotional person. She didn't know when they would meet again. Her eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Let's go." The youth in the standard soft armor turned and jumped into the carriage. He didn't help Dean with the backpack.
Dean climbed into the carriage and looked at Jura and Gray who were at the door. He waved his hand. There was a trace of reluctance in his heart, but soon this feeling was suppressed at the bottom of his heart. His hands clenched the backpack, his eyes became cold, and his soft heart became cold and strong.
…
…
The carriage entered the commercial district. It turned more than a dozen streets and gradually entered a remote street with few people. Not long after moving forward, a huge high wall blocked the carriage. The youth in the soft armor shook the reins, and the carriage moved along the high wall. Not long after, they arrived in front of an open door. This door was locked by a huge iron gate. The door was engraved with two warriors holding a sword and a saber respectively, and two words were engraved below them.
"Loyalty" and "Protection"!
"Get off!" The youth in the standard soft armor shouted.
Dean jumped out of the carriage and quietly observed the new environment.
"Come with me." The youth in the standard soft armor glanced at him and loosened the reins. He was not afraid that the carriage would run away. He led the way and entered through a small door next to the huge iron gate.
Behind the gate was a huge drill ground. The youth took Dudian to a remote minaret behind the drill ground. As soon as they came here, they heard a burst of low sobbing.
The youth in the standard soft armor frowned and pushed open the wooden door. He saw seven or eight children standing in the hall of the minaret. One of them was a little girl with curly hair. She was holding her knees and squatting on the ground crying. The boys next to her were at a loss and embarrassed.
The youth in the standard soft armor said coldly: "What's going on?"
One of the boys was shocked. He quickly said: "Minnie, Minnie said she is homesick."
The youth in the standard soft armor indifferently said: "Really?" He came to the front of the little girl and ordered: "I give you two seconds to stop crying and stand up!"
