Next day sharp 4 o'clock
"hey wake up time to go", a loud shout was heard and everyone started waking it was still night time.
After lining they were again counted and then sent to the same truck , the truck drove for 30 minutes then stopped .
Then a man came he opened the container and started unloading the children.
when they came out they were greeted by the sight of ships and sea , there was a large ship parked in front of them .
Now they realized that they are being sent to another country for god knows what , the fear in their hearts increased .
"Line up and start climbing" a man shouted.
They hesitated and no one came forward to be first , seeing this one man came out and kicked one child .Due to impact the child immediately was thrown to ground he held his stomach and started coughing violently, seeing this the everyone was frightened except Ye Feng .
"Start climbing bastards or it will be worse than this" he again shouted.
This time they lined up and started climbing with fear and panic at their peaks.
After boarding the ship they were sent to one room which was about 3 meters wide and 4 meters long.
After some time the ship started sailing and everything became quiet.
In afternoon they were provided food which was better than what they had till now.
For almost 1 month they were not told to do anything, they were provided food 2 times a day and only needed to wait . Due to this long journey groups started forming there were 3 groups one was of 5 people, one was of 6 and last one was of 8 people, the only remaining person was of course Ye Feng .
It was not that no one approached him but he found everything they told him to be childish like their ideas of how they can escape , how can they work together to better in future and few other things.
But he did not show any interest in all this so after 10 days they let him to be alone.
One day the journey came to a halt and they were finally able to see land again but what they saw was sand with very low vegetation, then they were again transferred to one truck which drove for 3 days.
When they came out they were greeted with sight of a base which look like a military training base there were armed vehicles soldiers dressed in black carrying guns they were counted and recorded again .
This base had an area of around 15 square kilometers surrounded by high and thick walls and was equipped with advance defense systems.
Ye Feng saw that there were other children who belonged to different regions of world Asian, European, American, African and were also looking in the same way. The other armed people were also from all over the world , then few men came and went in front of groups , they chose children who belonged to same region as them.
"Line Up" they commanded at same time in different languages so that children from their particular groups can understand them.
Everyone followed their command and they formed lines.
In front of Ye Feng's group there was a person in black suit who had a height of almost 5'8" and a good muscular build. He also said the same thing.
"From now on this is your life , this is your home and family ,you will be trained and will work for our organisation from today onwards, no indiscipline will be tolerated , those who will disobey orders and commands will be punished" He started speaking.
"You will be provided food and education and all your other needs will be taken care but your life will belong to the organisation, those who will try to betray will pay heavily, there is no need to fear because nothing will come out of it, so face your reality" He continued.
"Your training will be very hard and many of you may not be able to survive through it ,so be prepared ,there are 230 other children , by including you it will be batch of 250, we recruit every year so next year and on forwards many will come , so adapt yourself accordingly. I will be your trainer from tomorrow onwards , today you will be allocated your rooms , so rest well beacuse from tomorrow you will not be able to do so".
"Engrave this in your hearts you are part of ZERO from today till death parts you".
With this his speech ended he surveyed everyone as the atmosphere became tense after looking he left , which eased pressure from everyone's heart. As Ye Feng looked around the speech for other children was also over, they waited for 2 minutes and then some boys who looked around 17-18 came and made them follow.
Ye Feng looked around while following it was just like a military base men were carrying guns and knives with them and were dressed in black combat suits ,some were also wearing masks while some were not, They also had a mark on their suits of a red dagger inside a circle on their chest side which belonged to Zero, after walking for 5 minutes they arrived in front of a 4 story building .They went inside and were allocated a room each which had a room and attached bathroom and a bed with a table.
Ye Feng also went inside in his room and when he saw his room , he was somewhat happy as this was the best room he saw in his childhood and now it was his own .He was provided food packet and then was left alone , he ate and then rested on and then went for sleep.
Next day at 6:00 AM alarm rang and everyone came out from their room then they were escorted to their mess and provided food after eating they were escorted to their open training ground.
They saw the same person who gave them speech yesterday ."My name is code-117 but from today onwards you will call me master i will start you training from today onwards i hope you all will survive through this, i will give you a training schedule and you have to follow it otherwise you will receive punishment. All the exercises i will explain to you if you are not able to understand ask me but you have to complete what are you told to do."
He told them what distance to run, how to do basic push ups, pull ups ,sit ups and other basic exercises and how much they have to exercise , he also told them that they will have language classes in afternoon and combat training in the evening, he also distributed manuals of basic combat forms if they wanted to do practice on their own .
Ye Feng listened everything very attentively and was eager to do exercises as soon as he was told , after few more instructions their exercises started , after some time most of them started huffing but they mere made to complete their required number of exercises.
After completing everything they were told to go back to their rooms and prepare for lunch and then language classes , they were also give small combat dresses of their size with only a circle on their chest the dagger was not present in it , which was a symbol of their rank. Then they had language classes in afternoon and then combat classes in evening.
Everything started and soon it became months ,months turned into years and 3 years passed in those three years 37 children died either due to exhaustion or any other reason most of these children were not able to meet the level of training they received and over exhausted themselves which led to their death.
2 children died due to other reason as they tried to escape from base in 2nd year of their training but failed and were captured and then were killed in front of other children to set an example,
After that no one tried to do the same mistake and eventually everyone focused on their training as they were told that there will be competition inn future in between them so they should prepare themselves. Also there were brainwashing classes were also given to make them loyal to their organisation which had different degree of effect on children ,some were totally brainwashed , some were partially but everyone was effected to certain degree.
Ye Feng was also effected in some way but it good way, it was it helped him to understand about how different societies were how governments and other institutions use various ways to control people. He was way ahead of realizing how the things worked in society and he started to make future plans and set his first goal to become best from his batch, which he was sure that he achieved till now his master was also happy about his achievements and told him to work hard.
