《fall into darkness》Gathering
Advertisement
Du Dian dragged his body back to the residential area, spent five copper coins, called a carriage near the high wall, and sent it directly to Linking Street. It was too late today, and there was no time to buy sulfur and saltpeter. The scavenger training camp is going to take place every day. Judging from the degree of secrecy of this organization, most of the things brought there will be closely inspected.
Although in this world, people only know how to use sulfur to make dyes and pesticides, they are also low-toxic dangerous goods.
Jula and his wife were obviously in a hurry. When they saw Du Di'an coming back, they were obviously relieved. The next moment they smelled the strong stench, Gray frowned and pulled away: "What is the strange smell on your body, why? so dirty?"
Du Dian coughed lightly and said, "I fell in the slum."
"What else are you asking, go wash up soon, I'll boil hot water for you." Jula pinched her nose and ran into the kitchen.
Du Di'an entered the bathroom and put the super chip in the gap on the floor next to him. After a while, Jula brought a basin of hot water, "You have to wash it, do you want me to help you?"
"No." Du Dian quickly refused.
"Okay, then wash yourselves slowly and clean." Jula put the water on the ground and turned around to go out.
Du Di'an looked at this small basin of water, smiled bitterly in his heart, and suddenly remembered the shaggy head shower of the old times. Unfortunately, in this world, the radiation in the water cannot be completely filtered, at least in residential areas, which made him yearn for an early Step into the business district.
...
...
three days later.
A tall carriage galloped to the door of the Jula couple's house. The horse pulling the carriage was extremely strong, about two meters high. It was dressed in exquisitely crafted armor. The black hair on the whole body was mixed with some brown hair, like a crossbreed.

A young man in standard soft armor got off the carriage. He was thin, but his posture was as straight as a gun. He glanced at the house number and knocked on the door.
The Jules couple and Du Di'an, who were having breakfast, saw the carriage from the window long ago, and secretly said in their hearts. Jula immediately went to open the door and said enthusiastically, "Please come in."
The young man in the standard soft armor 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 "guardian". He did not enter the room and said, "No, I am short of time. This time, I'm here to take your children to the military training grounds in the commercial area. You must have already received the above notice, so get ready, I'm in a hurry."
Jula didn't expect him to be in such a hurry, so she hurriedly said, "Excuse me, officer, how long will this child be going for military training?"
The standard soft armor youth calmly said: "The training time is three years. During these three years, there is one day off every month, and I can come back to reunite with you. However, my suggestion is to take a good rest during the vacation, or It is to add some knowledge, otherwise, it will be difficult to last for three years."
Jula's face changed, "So hard? What would happen if you were eliminated?"
"Don't worry, even if you are eliminated, you can still get a small position." The standard soft armored youth said indifferently.
When Gray heard their conversation, he breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned his head, he saw Du Dian who was still eating slowly.
Du Dian sighed. He hated being interrupted while eating. Before that, he had a temper attack. Looking at Gray's widened eyes, he could only put down the vegetable rolls, clapped his hands, returned to his room, and put the two sets of clothes that had been folded in the linen backpack, and of course, the most important thing was his own super chip, Has been in his pocket for a change of clothes that he received.

After getting ready, Du Di'an put on his backpack, came to the door, looked up at the young man with standard soft armor, and said, "Let's go."
With reluctance in Jula's eyes, she said, "Have you put everything on, the clothes, the cups you washed..."
"It's all installed." Du Dian waved his hand and said he didn't have to worry.
"Be careful when you go there, don't fight with other children, just be patient."
Du Di's heart felt warm. Although he was brooding about being sold to Ivy's house last time, he could also see that Jula was sincere to him. After all, it is no match for reality, but after all, it is an adoption relationship, and he is already very grateful.
"I will, you also have to take care of yourself, the temperature in the "Black Death Season" is high, open more windows to ventilate, and don't catch the plague. "Du Dian asked.
Jula is a sentimental person. Tears welled up in her eyes when she thought of how long it would take Du Dian to see each other again.
"Let's go." The standard soft-armored youth turned around and jumped into the carriage, without any intention of helping Du with some backpacks.
Du Dian climbed into the carriage, looked at Jula and Gray at the door, waved his hand, and there was a hint of reluctance in his heart, but soon, this ray of emotion was suppressed in his heart, and he held his backpack tightly and his eyes were cold. Down, the soft heart also becomes hard and strong.
...
...
The carriage galloped, and after entering the commercial area, it turned around a dozen streets and gradually entered a remote street with few people. Not long after continuing on, a huge high wall blocked the carriage. The young man in standard soft armor flicked the horse rope, and the carriage ran along the high wall. It didn't take long before he came to an open door, which was surrounded by a huge giant. The iron fence door was locked, two warriors with swords and swords were engraved on the door, and two characters were engraved on the bottom.
"Loyalty" and "Guardian"!
"Get out of the car!" The young man in standard soft armor shouted softly.
Du Dian jumped off the carriage and quietly observed the new surroundings.
"Follow me." The young man in the standard soft armor glanced at him, let go of the reins, and was not afraid of the carriage running away, he led the way on his own and entered through a small door beside the huge iron gate.
Behind this gate is a huge school field. The standard soft armored youth brought Du Dian to a small remote spire behind the school field. As soon as he arrived here, he heard a low cry.
The standard soft-armored youth frowned, pushed open the wooden door, and saw seven or eight children the size of Du Di'an standing in the hall of the minaret. At this moment, one of the curly-haired little girls hugged her knees, squatting on the ground and crying, and the boys beside her were at a loss. Embarrassed.
The face of the young man in the standard soft armor turned cold and said, "What's going on?"
One of the boys was startled. After seeing the youth with the standard soft armor, he hurriedly said, "Mi, Minnie said she was homesick."
The standard soft-armored youth said indifferently: "Really?" Stepping up to the little girl, he ordered: "Give you two seconds, stop crying, stand up!"
The little girl was timid, and when she heard his cold words, she was so frightened that she stopped her voice and stood up trembling, but tears were still swirling in her eyes.
