Chapter 99: Iron Warrior
Prison has exercise time, but solitary confinement does not. The dark solitary cell makes you forget time and space. Except for sleeping and staring blankly in the darkness, there is nothing to do, even the courage to think about death will be lost. In an absolutely closed and dark environment, a person's biological clock will be completely disordered, you clearly feel that you have slept for a long, long time, but outside it has only been one hour.
After 30 days of confinement, many people may develop claustrophobia... even elevators will become absolutely terrifying. Some people urinated on the spot when they saw sunlight after leaving the confined space.
Fortunately, it's not wartime, otherwise deserters would be shot directly. In peacetime, deserters will be detained for 30 days. After that, they will be forcibly discharged from the military and placed under lifelong control in their hometown, without being allowed to leave. This means that once you are sent back to your local place as a deserter, every Monday, you have to go to the police station at the household registration location to report. Traveling abroad and obtaining an exit visa will basically become impossible for you from then on.
After witnessing the inhuman and terrifying fate of several deserters, the remaining new recruits had lost even a shred of courage to resist.
There was a psychology book that once wrote: People are most afraid of the two words "habit". When you get used to it, all the tragic things that happen to you will seem so natural...
No more mistakes, no more resistance, not even a sound when being beaten. Except for that stubborn heart. Numb obedience has become the main theme of Yeyangjian's life. Even if he were to die right now, Yeyangjian would not frown...
"Death is just death, it's just one life... What remains is obedience, absolute obedience!"
A3 Special Troop, 177 Task Force's battalion headquarters meeting room, Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Hai and the leaders of the troop sat together, on the conference table were all the training data of new recruits, the air in the room was filled with a strong smell of tobacco. Several people occasionally whispered to each other.
"How's the selection going?" Jiang Hai asked.
"Ah, the list of ten has been finalized!" A row of long-handled hammers nodded in response.
"Let's talk about it and discuss it together!" Jiang Hai nodded and said.
"There were many candidates who dared to resist during the training period, and we observed them closely. We eliminated a batch of those with unqualified physical conditions, another batch of those with weak personalities, and some more for slow reaction. Finally, we confirmed the list of ten people." The platoon leader gave everyone a detailed introduction.
"Guo Xiaoli, Zhao Dawei, Liu Hui, Hou Xuan, Yin Shuai, Xing Qi, Shen Nan, Liang Dakuan, Gao Ming, Ye Yangjian." A row of people took out ten sets of materials one by one and spread them on the table.
"Well, I also have high hopes for them, and coincidentally they all live in the same barracks!" said the squad leader with a smile.
"Ah, that the entire establishment can stay intact is indeed a miracle. I think they must have had a clever person leading them in private." A row of long-handled hammers chuckled and said.
"Is that so? You don't have to say it, I already know who it is. That little guy is also considered half a general's son, he won't be completely ignorant of things in the army, he knows what to do, which is the most correct." Jiang Hai said with a smile to Tie Chui.
"Is this considered cheating? Our A3's training method for new recruits is different from other second-line troops, the early pressure resistance training is harsh to the point of cruelty. He knew our selection method in advance, can we use such a person?" The platoon leader raised his own question.
The conference room fell silent, with everyone pondering the question raised by the second row of seats. Indeed, A3's new recruit selection system and model are exceptional in the country, where recruits have no human rights during their training period. In the initial three months of training, A3 will systematically eliminate those who cannot withstand loneliness and are not strong-willed enough. The promising candidates they see must have a stubborn conviction, only then can they stay in A3, and only such people are worthy of entrusting their backs to them in future missions.
