Chapter 1: What's wrong with me?
The First Volume Crosses Over
After Kang Fan gradually regained consciousness, he found himself still in the car, which was parked on a grassy meadow in a valley. Looking around, he saw towering trees and dense shrubs, and it seemed to be an unfamiliar place. It looked like early spring, with withered grass and trees showing new green shoots, and warm sunlight filtering through the tall pines onto his body. How did the season change?! He remembered that when he came, it was late autumn or early winter. He was really confused! Suddenly, he recalled that he had been ordered by the military department to go to the warehouse to pick up a batch of equipment for military training. Where were those military supplies? But nothing could have happened to them! He sprang up like a spring, rushed out of the driver's cab, lifted the dark green canvas covering the outside of the car compartment, and saw that the equipment was still intact and undamaged. Only then did he put his mind at ease, took a long sigh, and sat back in the driver's cab, feeling the familiar steering wheel of the sx2300 truck. The events he had experienced gradually became clear.
Kang Fan was tall and sturdy, with a handsome appearance. Under the influence of his parents from an early age, he was always the most outstanding among his peers. In middle school, he was nicknamed "Commander" by his classmates due to his love for military affairs. He later chose a military academy with the second highest score in the college entrance examination, leaving teachers and students in awe. After graduating with excellent grades, he worked successively in various military branches under the Ministry of Defense, mastering various professional skills. He was straightforward, broad-minded, had diverse interests, and was multi-talented, making him a true all-around talent. However, he was always immersed in his hobbies and interests, never tiring, but his career advancement was slow, and he remained a junior lieutenant for a long time. Recently, due to the huge response of his paper "The Development of Our Military from the Perspective of World Military Trends" in the military region, he was seized by the Ministry of Defense as an opportunity to be transferred to the General Staff Department and promoted to senior captain, which can be considered a small improvement. This time, it was at the request of a local state-owned military enterprise that he helped train the militia organization's military skills. The Ministry of Defense sent him there. It was said that they were training militias, but in fact, they were all university students who had just graduated and been assigned to the factory. The Ministry of Defense chose him for two reasons: one was because his cultural level was high, his military quality was excellent, and he could represent the image of an outstanding contemporary soldier; the other was because he was young and did not have a generation gap with university students, making it easy for him to get close to them. As expected, Kang Fan relied on his heroic appearance, solid military skills, and extensive knowledge to win over those university students on the day he took office. The subsequent military training work went smoothly, satisfying both the military and the factory. A month passed quickly, and those university students who had been spoiled by their families persisted in completing the dull and tedious military posture training under his coercion and temptation. Finally, they looked forward to the most exciting phase of military theory and weapons operation training.
The team training was conducted at the factory, but military theory classes and weapons operation, live firing and other projects had to be returned to the military department. So, after consulting with the military leadership, Kang Fan opened the large passenger car of the military department, called driver Xiao Gong to drive SX2300 to follow himself to the military warehouse to pick up weapons. The leader's intention was to use the inventory of those old equipment, so they could choose a few more guns and fire a few more rounds, let those students have some fun. When they arrived at the military warehouse, Kang Fan chose 10 Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, 1 Type 672 general-purpose machine gun, 1 Type 82 recoilless cannon and 1 Type 82 mortar, as well as related accessories, 2 boxes of 39mm rifle bullets, 2 boxes of 54mm machine gun bullets, 6 rounds of Type 82 mortar shells and 6 rounds of Type 82 recoilless cannon shells, as well as 2 boxes of wooden-handled grenades. Although they were all retired and stored weapons, they were all brand new. Although the military personnel in the military department had already replaced these weapons with new single-soldier series after the equipment change, they were absolutely treasures that could bring strong visual impact to those university students who had just graduated from school! After loading these weapons onto SX2300, they first went to deliver a batch of supplies to the logistics department of the military department, saying it was for exercise use. The army would not move without food and grass, and there was no delay. Kang Fan knew that the special forces brigade of the military department was going to conduct a cross-military joint anti-terrorism exercise with brother units recently, thinking that he had just been transferred from the special forces brigade and missed this good show for sure, feeling somewhat depressed in his heart. So, he agreed with Xiao Gong that he would first drive the large passenger car to the factory to pick up those university students, and then meet at the military shooting range.
Be careful with these things. Kang Fan is worried and reminds Xiao Gong.
Xiao Gong smiled foolishly. Don't worry, Commander Kang. Wait for me at the shooting range, and when the time comes, let me fire a few shots to have some fun.
After Xiaogong left, he hesitated for a moment and took out the 88-style 5.8mm sniper rifle and 92-style 9mm pistol that he had used in the special forces brigade, along with their accessories and sufficient ammunition. He also packed his entire set of individual combat equipment and a pile of military textbooks into the car. The reason for preparing so thoroughly was because when teaching military theory classes, it's not enough to just use his mouth to explain without having actual objects as references - how could those college students understand? Besides, using only retired weapons wouldn't be good either, it would feel like cheating. Adding these latest equipment and weapons should have a positive effect. After completing the handover procedures, he tossed a pack of cigarettes to the comrade who handled the procedures and drove straight to the factory. From afar, he saw the 30 college students lined up at the factory gate with their luggage, and couldn't help but smile: they really did look like something.
Those students saw him coming and cheered, scrambling to squeeze onto the car. After everyone was on board, they rushed back in a hurry. When they were still over 10 kilometers away from the shooting range of the teacher's department, they suddenly saw Xiao Gong's SX2300 and another SX2300 from the military department stopped head-on in the middle of the road. Due to his absolute confidence in his driving skills, he decided to drive through the small gap that was left. When passing the cars, he found out that neither of the two cars had a driver! He felt something was wrong but didn't immediately stop the car.
Isn't it important to leave someone in charge of such important supplies? It's too careless! Thinking about this, he looked around but except for them, the valley was empty. Maybe something happened or maybe they went into the woods to relieve themselves? No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't convince himself, so he stopped the car and ran back to investigate. The students also got out of the car and stood far away, looking over here, a few seemed to be following him. He waved his hand at them, indicating they shouldn't come over, and go back to the car. At this time, he suddenly found that his vision was becoming blurry, the large truck and the university students next to it were evaporating like steam! He was shocked and subconsciously rubbed his eyes, when he opened them again to look, he sensitively felt that strange changes were happening around him, but what kind of change he couldn't understand for a moment. Before losing consciousness, he still managed to climb onto the SX2300 loaded with those weapons, then he knew nothing...
