Light Fortress Chapter 1511 - 216: Relief Efforts (3)

Actually, he had also encountered kind-hearted people.

For example, a young man from the East Continent, on one particularly terrible day, handed him a cigar and told him to buck up and at least make a na for himself.

This cigar touched Zhao Qi for several days.

But if just a few words could make a ss pull itself together, then it wouldn’t be a ss at all.

So later, he was sent to the Xinyang Fortress affiliated with Luoyin City.

It was a small fortress, as inconspicuous as a mung bean in the vast northwest frontier, primarily responsible for storing supplies. Those assigned to serve here were basically the bottom rung of the North Continent Army.

And at the Xinyang Fortress, he was the bottom of the bottom.

What truly transford Zhao Qi were those days at the Xinyang Fortress.

Many of those stationed at Xinyang Fortress were disabled warriors. They lost their limbs in the Red War and did not want to leave the army, so they ca to a small place like Xinyang Fortress. Relying on Source Armor and chanical prosthetics, they continued their military life... Generally, they were veterans who had lost their families during the turbulent years in the North Continent.

These veterans were not an to Zhao Qi.

In the frontline units of Luoyin City, training was strict, and performance assessnts were heavily emphasized. Therefore, people like Zhao Qi, who dragged others down, were repeatedly trampled in the army.

But the requirents at Xinyang Fortress were fairly relaxed, and the old veterans were puzzled as to how a young man with all limbs intact could have such poor performance to be demoted to a place like this.

Thus, these old veterans developed a strong interest in Zhao Qi.

Life at Xinyang Fortress was tough for Zhao Qi. The old soldiers forced him to participate in daily training. He wanted to give up, but looking around, he saw middle-aged and elderly people with missing limbs who had set aside their chanical prosthetics...and witnessing this, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

One day, one week, one month, one year...

The days passed just like that.

Of course, Zhao Qi’s spirit and vigor were only slightly better than before, still at the bottom in a major fortress.

"The people over there treat well. Their chanical prosthetics are generally aging, and with limited military funding, they need to fundraise to get replacents."

"This ti, their difficulty can be resolved with money...so, I want to take so of my money to help them."

After Zhao Qi finished speaking, he sincerely said, "The total amount needed for Xinyang Fortress is five hundred thousand. I want to ask what is the available balance in my account?"

This amount isn’t much; he could easily spend it in one night at the Dadu Bar.

But since going to the North Continent, he hadn’t had a penny.

"..."

After hearing this, Lu Nanzhi fell silent.

She didn’t expect Zhao Qi to have co for this matter.

"According to your father’s will, every year, Huazhi transfers sixty million to your account."

The lady took a black card from a drawer and pushed it in front of Zhao Qi, saying with a complicated expression, "Check it for yourself... the money is your property, and you can decide how to use it. But you don’t need to send it to Xinyang Fortress. Currently, the two continents are in a rge phase. I have a eting with the top officials in Central City next, and I’ll have Zhu Xue send people to solve the problems at Xinyang Fortress."

Zhao Qi looked at the black card in front of him.

He paused for a mont, did not take it, but instead returned it.

"Let the money stay in the card... These figures have lost their aning for ."

Zhao Qi stood up and smiled, "If you are willing to solve Xinyang Fortress’s problems, then my trip here can be considered accomplished."
