Sixteen Coming of Age Ceremony

  The black-faced officer appeared as quietly as a ghost in the dormitory corridor.

  "Is this where you people live?" The black-faced officer shouted to the ten people standing in the house, covering his nose and frowning.

  The new recruits only then noticed that the musty smell was just a bit fainter than at first, but they had all been busy and hadn't paid attention.

  "Report! It's because we forgot to open the window for ventilation."

  Ye Ren immediately ran to the window and pushed open the glass window.

  "Next time, mind you, this is where you live." The black-faced officer didn't press the matter further but looked at Ye Ren and said.

  There was even a hint of approval in the eyes of the black-faced officer that was hard to detect.

  Ge Shengjie looked at Ye Ren with a cold gaze.

  The black-faced officer turned around in the house and didn't make any sense of the internal affairs of this house. The training of the new army is still good.

  Suddenly, the black-faced officer's nostrils flared, and he turned around and walked to Yang Bo's bedside.

  The black-faced officer suddenly shook open Yang Bo's quilt, but found nothing.

  "Note to open windows for ventilation." The black-faced officer threw the caught quilt back onto the bed, "Assemble downstairs in one minute."

  Hei Lian Shi Guan walked away, and Yang Bo felt quite pleased with himself.

  "Hurry up and go down, don't dawdle," said Ge Shengjie.

  "I'll help you." Ye Ren said to Yang Bo who was starting to fold the quilt.

  "Help them get their tactical vests ready, and then we'll head down once they're all set." Zhang Guanlin said to the others as he put on his own tactical vest.

  Those who have already put on their equipment will prepare Ye Ren and Yang Bo's equipment.

  Ge Sajie glanced at the people in the house, pulled her hem and stormed out.

  "What's with all the pulling? You're acting like a fool."

  Ge Shengjie walked away, and Shi Nanfeng, who hadn't spoken much all morning, cast a disdainful glance in the direction of the door.

  "Is it just that you always think of directing us or something?"

  Qiao Erwa also said so.

  "Alright, let's all say a few less words. We're all comrades-in-arms, and it's possible that we still don't understand him."

  Ye Ren helped Yang Bo stack up the quilt and was putting on his tactical vest, advising everyone.

  "Just be a good person, I can see that the kid is not satisfied with you." Yang Bo said to Ye Ren.

  Suddenly, a shrill whistle made all the new recruits in the house tense up.

  "His watch must have been bought for ten bucks at a roadside stall."

  The new recruits hastily grabbed their equipment that they hadn't had time to put on and rushed downstairs while putting it on.

  When everyone came downstairs and lined up, Ge Shengjie was already standing upright in the yard.

  Hei Lian Shi Guan stood right in front of Ge Sheng Jie.

  New recruits stood at attention in their dormitory.

  "Welcome to the training base of 'Bayonet Hero Travel', you can also call it 'Tatou'. Why is it called this name? Have you all seen 'Saving Private Ryan'? This is your Normandy. Because you either rush to the beach and escape with your life, or get stuck in the mud and rot."

  The black-faced officer said to the new recruits.

  "Your two-month Marine Corps basic training will be directly under my supervision. Here, I'll teach you how to survive and how to fight. My name is Lei Bao."

  When the two words "survival" came out of the black-faced officer's mouth, many new recruits were startled in their hearts.

  "Not bad."

  This was the only praise new recruits heard all day.

  But such praise made the new recruits even more uncomfortable, because this praise proved that Leopards' words were indeed bought for ten bucks at a roadside stall, and would only be quick but not slow.

  "Dining hall for dinner! Dismissed!"

  When this order was heard, thirty people did not move at all.

  "What? Not hungry yet? Then add a set of 5 kilometers?"

  Leopard swept a glance over the new recruits in front of him, frowning and saying.

  The new recruits suddenly dispersed with a "whoosh".

  Like in the new recruit company, sing first and then eat.

  But today's dining hall is in the camp's dining hall, and the richness of lunch has far exceeded everyone's expectations.

  The cafeteria provides not only eight meat dishes and six vegetable self-service, but also beef patties, fried chicken and hamburgers, eat as much as you want. At the same time, several drinks are also provided.

  "Wow, the food in the Marine Corps is so good?"

  Yang Bo held a tray in one hand and a spoon in the other, wandering back and forth in front of the buffet cabinet several times before sighing contentedly.

  "Hmm, I'm telling you, I think there's something fishy going on here." Ye Ren furrowed his brow as he stared at the food in front of him.

  "What's wrong with you? You don't eat good food, are you stupid?"

  Yang Bo couldn't wait and had already put two fried chicken legs on his own plate.

  After listening to Yang Bo's words, Ye Ren also looked at these tempting foods and was hungry. He took a little of each on his own plate, picked up the plate and found a place to sit down and eat.

  "Don't you think there's something strange about this meal?" said Ren Liang, sitting diagonally across from Ye Ren.

  "What's going on? Are they daring to poison us to death?"

  Shi Nanfeng put down the tray and sat down opposite Ren Liang with a plop.

  "Really?"

  Yang Bo, who came with Shi Nanfeng, said to a few people.

  "It's either good fortune or bad luck, who cares? Just eat and you won't die anyway."

  Ye Ren started eating.

  After this meal, Ye Ren remembered the names of a few more people in his class.

  The new recruits had already gathered on the training ground in front of the broken building early in the morning.

  "Is everyone full?"

  Before long, Leopardo arrived on schedule with a dogtail grass in his mouth.

  "I'm full."

  The new recruits hastily formed a line and replied to Lei Bao in unison.

  "Alright, I'll take you guys fishing."

  The leopard tossed the dogtail grass aside and said something that left the new recruits bewildered.

  "With this kind of bloody and violent plot, things won't end well."

  Li Jiaye said in a low voice to Huang Junqi.

  "Don't talk in line, don't you know?"

  Ge Sanye bit her back teeth and lowered her voice to say to Li Jiaye.

  "Cough! Cough!"

  Leopard intentionally coughed and walked over to the three people who were talking.

  When Leopard's gaze swept across the faces of the three people, the three people felt very uncomfortable, and Ge Shengjie stood up straight.

  Li Jiaye and Huang Junchen also stood up immediately.

  "It seems like some comrades have doubts about our activities, speak out loudly!"

  The last five words of Leopards voice rose by eight degrees, if his psychological quality is not good, he will probably kneel down directly.

  "Reportedly, I mean you must be cheating us."

  "I didn't cheat you guys, I'm telling the truth, look, my boat is all ready."

  Leopard pointed at the beach and said to Huang Junxiong and Li Jiaye.

  Everyone looked towards the beach, several assault boats stopped at the shore, and a landing craft was waiting further out to sea.

  The leopard brought the new recruits to the seaside, and the assault boat ferried them onto the landing craft.

  There may not be so many seats on the landing boat, and everyone is standing.

  Then the landing craft headed out to sea.

  Half an hour after setting sail, the land was no longer visible.

  But what made this group of young soldiers even more uneasy than the invisible land was that the sun could not be seen either, blocked by thick dark clouds.

  Even an idiot can understand that things are going to change now.

  The weather at sea is the most unpredictable, and today was no exception.

  A gale followed immediately, and the suddenly treacherous waves crashed against the ship's sides.

  The small landing craft has poor resistance to wind and waves.

  The strong wind blew the landing craft back and forth, and the waves tossed the landing craft.

  The new recruits in the hold were soaked from head to toe, and seawater was still pouring into the hold.

  The violent rocking motion made it even harder for the new recruits to stand upright.

  The momentum of the wind and waves is getting bigger and bigger.

  The recruits were tossed about in the hold of the ship, waves crashing against the hull, spray flying over the deck.

  The sailors in the open driving cab were also holding on to the handrails and barely managed to stay at their posts.

  Standing in the high driving cabin, Lei Bao picked up the loudspeaker.

  "Welcome to the initiation ceremony of 'Changshan Camp', feel what it's like to be at sea. Remember, we are brave warriors standing on the crest of the waves!"

  The leopard's voice pierced through the roar of the sea.

  And in the midst of the waves' pounding, the new recruits understood more clearly than ever the origin of the name "Changshan Camp".

  The poem says: "Changshan has a tiger general, wisdom and bravery match Guan Zhang. Han Shui's meritorious deeds are in, when Yang's surname and name are renowned. Twice supporting the young master, one thought repays the former emperor. The green history books loyalty and heroism, should flow for a hundred generations of fragrance."

  This training camp is named "Changshan Camp", which means "Zha Zi Long's whole body is brave".

  As an invincible army, it is natural to build batch after batch of "daring" warriors.

  ……

  When the new recruits rolled and crawled back onto land, they all looked like drowned chickens, disheveled and bedraggled.

  Everyone's face was also pale and frightening.

  "I knew I shouldn't have eaten so much at noon."

  Huang Junji weakly said with a dry retch.

  "I knew it wasn't anything good."

  Ye Ren leaned on Yang Bo's body and said weakly.

  The next second, Ye Ren fell to the beach - Yang Bo suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, rolling his eyes back and looking dazed.

  The new recruits had just gotten seasick on the boat and were completely dizzy.

  The reason why the leopard hasn't appeared yet is that the cabin is full of vomit. The braised pork, steamed pork, shredded meat, sliced meat, chicken legs and beefsteaks from lunch were not fully digested in the new recruits' stomachs and were all returned to the cabin. As a result, the people in the driving cabin couldn't get through the cabin and disembark, they could only wait until the cleanup was finished before getting off the ship.

  "It's really useless."

  Ge Sanjie glanced at the disheveled crowd and lifted her foot to scrape off the dirt on her boots with the sand.

  "You're not doing much better."

  Shi Nanfeng coldly looked at Ge Shengjie and said with a bad tone.

  Ge Shengjie just turned back and looked at Shi Nanfeng who was kneeling on one leg on the beach, but didn't say anything else.

  The situation is very bad, Shannan Peak didn't say anything wrong. At this moment, Ge Shengjie was just maintaining the appearance of an ideal soldier, but in fact, he was barely holding on. In this regard, Ge Shengjie also had a good understanding of himself, so he didn't say anything else.

  "Come on, get him up, can't let him lie here."

  Ye Ren took a deep breath and got up from the ground, beckoning Shi Nanfeng and Huang Junqi to come over and help him lift Yang Bo up.

  "Old Li, come and take a look quickly." Huang Junqi struggled to get over, while beckoning Li Jia Ye who was lying on the beach without moving to come and see Yang Bo.
