First Volume: Reborn from the Flames Chapter 24: Emergency Assembly

  The sky is very dark, the cold winter wind blows extremely cold, after a day of hard work, even the devil wouldn't dare to disturb our beautiful dreams on such a night.

  I lay in bed, my slowly tightening nerves began to relax, and once I was soaked in the warmth of the quilt, all the fatigue in my body seemed to come suddenly, and I felt like I was going to fall apart. Every cell in my body let out a comfortable hum, making me drowsy and lose consciousness, sinking into a deep sleep.

  I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I felt like someone was slapping me hard, and in a daze, I heard annoying noises around my ears, as if the dormitory was filled with ear-piercing alarm sounds, and the shrill whistle echoed throughout the entire dormitory.

  "Hurry...hurry up, it's an emergency assembly!"

  Someone next to him exclaimed loudly, and then countless noises came from all directions.

  My ears were buzzing with all the noise, and I was shocked to find that my beautiful dreams had instantly disappeared without a trace. Then I suddenly realized that I was in the army! That damned 'Qiao Yan Wang', he's plotted against us again...

  Come on! Pull together in an emergency!

  "Big Brother Hai, what are you spacing out for! Hurry up and take action! Quick..."

  I felt as if an earthquake had occurred around me while I was sleeping on the top bunk, my brother was sleeping below, and the comrade next to me on the bed board suddenly went crazy, making my bed seem like it was about to collapse. Due to the influence of a comfortable sleep, my whole body had not yet merged into this tense atmosphere, but I was still startled by the stimulation and got up.

  Emergency assembly, no lights allowed? I, who hadn't adapted to the darkness yet, only saw dozens of dark shadows flitting about busily in the dormitory, which had originally been quiet and suddenly erupted.

  "Where's my pants? My pants..."

  "Mom... ah... my hat..."

  "Damn it, this backpack... how do I carry this backpack..."

  "I can't find my shoes... what am I going to do..."

  Desperate cries, fearful voices with sobs, and the heavy breathing of many people immediately merged into a chaotic mess. It was as if this place had suddenly transformed into an extremely large market, filled with noise and commotion. Judging from the voices of comrades, everyone's shock was no different from the arrival of doomsday.

  ***, just let White Day Lianlianlong teach us to pack our bags in front of all the new recruits, teach us how to prepare for emergency assembly, and tell us that the requirements for emergency assembly are fast, quiet, and neat. We must form up and set out within three minutes. But we only had one class, simply learning how to deal with all this. 'Qiao Wang', you blew the emergency assembly whistle, do you want people to live?

  I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately this kid Peng Jiu had foresight, I immediately familiarly pressed the things to be placed before going to sleep and quickly cleaned up.

  As I lifted the quilt, my hand had already touched my shirt. After putting it on, I didn't even have time to button it up. Immediately, I grabbed my pants...

  Damn, where are my pants? Originally at the waist position inside me was my long pants, where did they go, how did I touch a garter? Below is the belt and vest? Go to hell, what do I want these things for, didn't think about how they would be there, I threw them away, started frantically searching with both hands on the bed.

  "My... where are my pants? How did they disappear?"

  How strange! Peng Yu's pants are also not in their original place? It's really spooky!

  In the depths of winter, on a night so dark I couldn't see my hand in front of me, my trousers had gone missing and were playing hide-and-seek with me. It was impossible for me to go to assembly without wearing any trousers, if that's what it came to, I would have thought 'General Zhao' would give us a 'generous' gift. I'd already searched the bed from top to bottom...

  Damn it, I really saw a ghost! It was clearly put away properly, did it grow wings and fly? What's under that iron sand-filled vest? How did the pants with legs run to its bottom? Fortunately, everything is still lucky because it gave me face, after all, it didn't fly into the sky, I would have thought about it carefully, anyway, I finally found it...

  I was sweating profusely, but I finally found the trousers that had been pressed under those detestable suspenders and vest. Of course, once I found them, I didn't need to think twice before putting them on my legs immediately, and with a pull of the belt, I secured it around my waist.

  What's with the wind chime? Go ahead, anyway there are no women here, 'Qiao Yan Wang' wouldn't be perverted enough to go see if I've unbuttoned the lower button.

  The speed is still quite fast, wearing good clothes I start packing my backpack, the daily training of tidying up internal affairs has not been wasted, even if I grope in the dark I can know how long and wide this quilt is, where the four corners are.

  I quickly stacked them together, then picked up the backpack straps three horizontal and two vertical to fix it, put the shoes and raincoat on again, hung the water bottle package on my head, a beautiful jump down, I was already standing under my bed, while the brother below me was still struggling with that backpack.

  I heard him shouting anxiously: "Where's my backpack strap? Where's my backpack strap?"

  At this time, what's the use of calling for help? No one can see him, no one can help him, he can only rely on himself.

  "Don't rush, the more you rush, the worse it gets, calm down!!"

  I felt something under my foot, picked it up in the dark and found it was his backpack strap, immediately patted him on the back, handed it to him and loudly reminded him to calm down.

  The sound of footsteps began to gather at the door, and someone had already opened the door to go outside. Seeing this situation made him even more anxious. This guy was so anxious that he was about to cry. He angrily, irritably, anxiously, and hastily tied it up with a quilt, not caring what kind of knot it was, as long as he could carry it on his back.

  At this time, my hands were already in the pockets of my pants, and I took out my socks and put them on my feet with two movements. Then, I swept my foot under the bed to the right, and my shoes were found. The shoelaces didn't need to be taken care of, so I just put them on and left. After all, I was prepared from the start, and the effect is indeed different. At this moment, thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little proud.

  "Big brother Hai, hurry up and go..."

  Peng Zhuo wasn't slow either, he saw that I had already slung my backpack over my shoulder and immediately pulled me out of the room. The playground was a sea of black, densely packed! It turned out to be the simultaneous assembly of three new recruit squads!

  Luckily, we were still in the queue, so we ran over and found that 'Qiao Yan Wang' who had turned into ashes but was still recognizable. Thank goodness, there weren't many people in front of him yet.

  "Quick! Come here!"

  Damn, that's Xie Jian's voice. Damn it, how did this kid get here so fast? He really is a big shot from the military compound. Peng Xue and I immediately followed the sound and rushed over to stand beside him.
