Chapter 2285: Useful People
Everyone missed their distant family, and everyone missed their country. The sinking of the cruise s.h.i.+p also sank their hopes of leaving the island.
The cries of the children were endless, but the mature faces were so terrified that they could not even cry.
“Boss, so many people are hiding on the island? I think it’s a waste of our manpower. Why don’t we send a bunch of useless people to another island to be used as test subjects for those experimental bases? It just so happens that we are shorthanded recently, right? We have captured almost all the villagers nearby. Furthermore, the doctors said that the effect of the reagent will be different if the race is different.”
More than a thousand people were crammed into a small warehouse, like sesame seeds on a piece of cheese. The warehouse’s windows were tightly shut, and the smell inside was indescribable.
The person speaking had braids, and his rough voice was more frightening than the gun in his hand. In his eyes, the people in the warehouse were like ants, not precious lives.
The person he called boss was wearing a khaki windbreaker, a black hat on his head, and a pair of spectacles on the bridge of his nose that covered half of his face.
“Are you sure that the Divine Doctor is dead?” The man took off the spectacles as he spoke, exposing his dark eyes.
“Indeed. She died in an aviation accident. All the major newspapers reported it, and there has been no news of the Divine Doctor after that. Even his student has delivered a eulogy in her memory,” the braided man said. “The Divine Doctor’s student is from Z country, so other than Z country’s people, the others should be useless. It’s a waste of s.p.a.ce to keep them.”
“Then keep the useful ones. Send the useless ones to where they should go.” After saying that, the man pressed the brim of his hat, turned around, and boarded a helicopter not far away.
Except for the two people talking, no one else knew that the people in the warehouse had been cla.s.sified as useful or useless in less than five minutes.
Their fate would be completely different from then on.
Even though she was a little unhappy before going to bed, Jiang Yao was very happy when she woke up.
She woke up early. When she opened her eyes, it was only half past six, and Lu Xingzhi was no longer by her side.
When Jiang Yao opened the door and walked out, she noticed the person on the sofa speaking quietly. She was taken aback. She had not antic.i.p.ated Cheng Jinnian’s family arriving so early.
“Sister, you’re awake!” Cheng Jinnian immediately jumped from the sofa when he heard the sound from Jiang Yao’s bedroom. He ran over to Jiang Yao and hugged Jiang Yao’s thigh. In a childish voice, he said, “Sister, Happy Birthday!”
Jiang Yao realized that Cheng Jinnian was, for the most part, no different from other children her age as she observed him.
He was still as childish as before.
The birthday girl was in a good mood that morning, so she paid attention to Cheng Jinnian. She patted his head, which had been styled with oil, and she narrowed her eyes with a smile. She asked in a lazy voice, “Have you prepared a gift for me?
‘Yes!” Cheng Jinnian nodded repeatedly and then quickly ran back to the sofa.
He took a scroll painting and handed it to Jiang Yao. “Sister, I drew it myself. It’s for you.”
Jiang Yao was surprised. She was just asking casually, but she did not expect Cheng Jinnian to prepare a gift for her..
