Chapter 6 Military Training

  Back in the dormitory, the other three guys were already up.

  Old Second Tang Xuan and Old Third Xu Bing each had a fried dough stick in their mouths, playing the popular competitive game LOL (League of Legends) on their computers, while Eldest Brother Zhou Qiang was nowhere to be found.

  "Aren't you two guys getting a headache? So spirited playing games!" Lin Fan heard the two of them shouting about headaches on the bed this morning when he got up.

  It is common knowledge that people who get drunk will have a splitting headache the next day.

  "It's nothing, this little headache can't compare to our passion for gaming! By the way, thanks for breakfast, Fourth!" Second Brother Tang Xuan swallowed the last bite of his fried dough stick, his eyes still fixed on the rapidly changing computer screen, without even nodding.

  "No need! By the way, where's Lao Da?" Lin Fan asked casually.

  "Eldest brother has gone to play basketball!" This time it was Xu Bing, the third eldest, who answered Lin Fan's question.

  "Oh, I'll just lie down on the bed for a while, and you can call me again when it's time to eat lunch." Lin Fan climbed onto his own bed.

  "Haha! Fourth brother, why are you getting up so early today? Could it be that you're going to a secret meeting with some beauty?" Second brother Tang Xuan laughed very lewdly.

  "No, I'm going out to take care of something!" After saying that, Lin Fan focused his entire mind on the Hongmeng Temple.

  Lin Fan had already closed his eyes and stopped speaking, so Eldest Brother Tang Xuan didn't continue to ask questions. He and Third Brother Xu Bing fully immersed themselves in the game.

  Time slipped away quietly, nothing happened all day.

  The next day, September 1st, was the first day of the new semester at Huaxia University!

  On this day, all teachers and freshmen must gather at that huge playground in school to hold an opening ceremony.

  The four people in Lin Fan's dormitory got up early and went to their respective professional teams because of their different majors.

  Among the four, Lin Fan majored in Business Administration; Eldest brother Zhou Qiang was a sports recruit; Second brother Tang Xuan was from the Chinese Department, because there were more beauties in the Chinese Department; while Third brother Xu Bing was a computer major and claimed to be a somewhat famous hacker.

  "Hey! Lin Fan!" Lin Fan, who was standing in the team, suddenly felt a pat on his back, and a familiar voice entered his ears.

  Turning back, as expected, the person behind was Ouyang Ziyuan, whom she had met on the train two days ago.

  Today, Ouyang Ziyuan wore a crisp white knee-length dress, her fair arms exposed outside, smiling brightly like a flower, and her enchanting charm was constantly emanating!

  How many innocent boys have lost their way under the charm of Ouyang Ziyuan, just looking at the many infatuated boys staring at Ouyang Ziyuan can tell: Ouyang Ziyuan, her charm is irresistible!

  "Hey!" Lin Fan greeted Ouyang Ziyuan.

  The boys around saw Lin Fan's attitude towards their goddess, Ouyang Ziyuan, and were immediately furious! However, their goddess did not blame Lin Fan's attitude, so they had no right to come forward and teach him a lesson.

  Looking at the two people chatting happily in front of them, many boys felt their hearts were about to break.

  Even Huaxia University, which has advanced teaching concepts, has an opening ceremony that is no different from other universities in Huaxia.

  The leaders' speeches, the principal's speech, and the students' representatives' speeches have all finished, and more than two hours have passed.

  Just as all the students were getting extremely impatient, the principal finally said the last sentence: "The opening ceremony is over!"

  "Now, I have an announcement to make!" The principal paused for a moment before continuing: "Every year, all freshmen are required to participate in military training, and this year is no exception! The military training will last for 20 days. Due to the large number of new students, the training will not be held on school grounds but at two major military bases instead. The official start date for the military training is tomorrow, and the military trucks from the two bases will arrive in the afternoon to take you to your respective bases for training! Therefore, please return to your dormitories after dismissal to pack your belongings!"

  This time, the opening ceremony really ended.

  "See you later at military training! Bye!" Ouyang Ziyuan waved goodbye to Lin Fan.

  After saying goodbye to Ouyang Ziyuan, Lin Fan quickly returned to the dormitory. The eldest, Zhou Qiang, had already returned to the dormitory, while the second and third elders, Tang Xuan and others, had not yet returned.

  Lin Fan said hello to Lao Da Zhou Qiang and started packing some spare clothes and washing utensils.

  Before long, the other two returned to their dormitory together.

  The two returned to the dormitory and saw Lin Fan and Zhou Qiang already packing their luggage, and immediately shouted and started packing their own luggage.

  At noon, four people went to a restaurant outside the school and had a meal together. This time, there were no troublemakers coming to cause trouble.

  Time flew by and it was soon afternoon, when a convoy of military vehicles drove into the school, then transported truckloads of new students to the barracks.

  This time, the new students participating in military training were divided into two major military districts in Shanghaishi: Shanghaishi South Military District and Shanghaishi North Military District. The two military districts shared all the new students equally, with approximately 5,000 new students in each district.

  Lin Fan was going to the Southern Military Region of Shang Hai City.

  The Southern Military District of Shanghaishi covers an area of over 100 square kilometers, with only more than 20 square kilometers cleared for construction and training grounds, while the remaining 80 square kilometers are mountainous forests.

  When Lin Fan's military vehicle arrived at the military district, it was already late in the evening. Since the official training time didn't start until tomorrow, the instructors at the military district generously allowed all the new students to rest well.

  The next morning at six o'clock, a loud bugle call sounded, accompanied by numerous complaints from the new students, and military training officially began!

  The subjects of military training include: formation practice, slogan shouting, crawling forward, singing songs, and midnight exercises. In addition to regular military training, there are also subjects such as battlefield first aid, light weapon shooting, military geography, and simulated combat drills.

  The main subjects are queue exercises, which include: attention, at ease, halt, turn, quick march, slow march, double march, jogging, standing at attention, squatting, rising, adjusting equipment, counting off, salute, dismissal, and so on.

  On the first day, many freshmen who had been indulging in a relaxed life for more than two months during the summer vacation could not withstand the high-intensity training of military training, and the effect was very poor.

  But as time went on, the newcomers also gradually had a bit of a military demeanor.

  On the tenth day, all basic training was completed.

  Then the instructor gave all the new students a day off.

  After ten days of rigorous military training, a rare day off was finally obtained. Although they couldn't leave the military area, all the freshmen were overjoyed and had a wonderful time playing for a whole day.

  While all the new recruits were having a great time playing around, inside a large conference room within the military district, it was filled with instructors in charge of training.

  At this time, many instructors had no longer a stern expression on their faces during training, and were smiling and chatting with other instructors beside them.

  "Alright, let's summarize the results of our training over the past few days." The chief instructor knocked on the conference table.

  The Chief Instructor was a man of about forty years old, with a robust appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes, his skin somewhat darkened by the sun, sitting upright in the first seat at the conference table.

  All the instructors immediately sat up straight in their chairs with a serious expression.

  An instructor stood up and reported the situation of the team he had trained to the chief instructor, with concise language, and finished reporting in just over a dozen sentences.

  After the meeting was over, the instructors started chatting again.

  "Hey! Qiangzi, are there any promising students among the ones you're training?" a rugged-looking instructor asked the sharp-featured instructor beside him.

  "There are several good seedlings, but one student left a particularly deep impression on me!" The expression of Qiangzi instructor was somewhat strange.

  "Impossible? You're the best among us, a student who can leave a deep impression on you must be extraordinary! Who is it? Tell me." The burly instructor exclaimed, attracting the attention of other instructors.

  "That student's name is Lin Fan, with a rustic look on his face." Officer Zhang was surrounded by so many people and also felt a little pressure, hastily saying the name of that impressive student.

  "Really?! I've seen that student before, I went to your team's training session once and his performance was just average, how did he leave such a deep impression on you?" Coach Biao looked at Coach Qiang in confusion.

  The strong instructor looked at the fierce instructor with disdain and said, "That's because you've only seen him once! You don't know, in all these days of training, his performance may not be the best, but it's definitely the most relaxed! And, in all these days, I haven't seen him sweat a single drop. Think about it, under this scorching September sun, even I'm sweating profusely just standing on the side, how could such a student not leave a deep impression on me?"

  "Now that you mention it, I'm also interested in learning more about this student!" A loud and clear voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.

  "Commander-in-Chief!" shouted Instructor Qiangzi and Instructor Biao in unison as they saluted.

  The other instructors also followed suit and saluted.

  "It's break time, no need to be so serious! Alright, Qiangzi, you continue telling us about that student named Lin Fan!" The head instructor returned a salute and smiled.

  "Yes!" Coach Qiangzi responded, and then began to talk about his understanding of Lin Fan.

  Happy times always slip away unnoticed, and students who had relaxed for a day regained their spirits and began a new round of military training.

  However, this round of military training has undergone a significant change and is no longer the dull and tasteless practice of the first ten days.

  It is undoubtedly extremely welcome for students who are tired of dry exercises.

  The new military training courses include battlefield first aid, light weapon shooting, military geography, virtual combat simulation, and wilderness survival, among which the most popular among boys is light weapon shooting.

  Every boy has a dream of defending his country in his heart when he was young, and the most likely to achieve this dream is undoubtedly becoming a soldier! Although now due to some reasons can not become a soldier, but have the opportunity to touch firearms or still let boys' hearts filled with excitement.

  In five days, new military training courses were conducted for five days.

  In these five days, all students were filled with passion, like dry sponges encountering water, constantly absorbing the knowledge of new military training courses.

  Although this knowledge may not be fully applicable, at certain moments when it is applied well, it will become a lifesaver!

  On the sixth day, all students participating in military training gathered together.

  The head instructor stood on the podium with a loudspeaker, facing all the students below: "Today, we have gathered everyone together to announce something. Next, we will launch a special military training - wilderness survival training. Students who perform well in this training will be rewarded with five credits!"

  Five credits!

  The students below immediately boiled over. As a world-class university, Huaxia University's academic credits are also very difficult to obtain.

  And now, as long as you get excellent results in the wilderness survival training below, there will be a reward of five credits, what a tempting reward!

  But what is wilderness survival training?
