Chapter Five: Confrontation

  Late at night, when everyone was powerless to move forward, under the indication of Sima Lei, the Wolf Tooth team members blew their whistles, ending the first ordeal of the assembled warriors.

  "It's finally over, oh my goodness!" A group of recruits led by the Wolf Tooth squad members arrived at their already tidy dormitory.

  "Today's first training session is over, you have half an hour to eat and shower, then go to bed. Tomorrow morning, you will start the real training, which is a week-long hellish boot camp. Got it?"

  The General Lang Wolf stood at the entrance of the dormitory and shouted at dozens of soldiers in training.

  "Understood!" The uneven voices came intermittently, revealing the physical and mental exhaustion of everyone.

  Cang Lang's eyes swept over the crowd with a gloomy gaze, and instantly everyone's face changed, hastily becoming spirited and uniform in their voices as they replied in unison.

  "I understand!"

  A loud voice boomed like thunder, and only then did the wolf's face improve. With a casual wave of his hand, the crowd was like a general amnesty, and they rushed into the dormitory like the wind.

  "Oh no, hurry up and let me go first, I want to take a bath!"

  "I'll take a bath first, those in front of me hurry up!"

  "Come on, brothers..."

  As soon as the dormitory door was closed, the room suddenly became chaotic, with everyone crowding and scrambling for a spot in the bathroom.

  "Oh no, stop pushing! The birds are going to burst, can't you save some energy......" The crowd couldn't help but complain about the excessive crowding.

  Wu Yaoling squeezed through the crowd, forcing out a 'blood path' and rushed into the bathroom first.

  "Oh my goodness, I'm finally in!" After taking a deep breath, Wu Yaoling casually took off his clothes and pants, turned on the showerhead and started washing away the mud on his body. The cool water flowed down, making him feel refreshed.

  As Wu Yaoling rushed into the bathroom, the rest of the people suddenly panicked, one by one, rushing in like crazy, and finally a few people rushed in first.

  "Hurry up and take a bath!" A slightly younger, dark-skinned and rough-looking second lieutenant hastily threw away his mud-covered clothes and started showering next to Wu Yaoling.

  "Hey, you look pretty spirited, how's it going? Can you handle this training?" The little guy opened the showerhead and after a good rinse, he looked over at Wu Yaoling and asked.

  "It's alright, this little trick is no problem." Wu Yaoling twisted her neck and smiled casually.

  "Hey, brother, what's your name?" the little guy asked again.

  "My surname is Wu and my name is Yaoling, what about you, brother?"

  "Zhang Yuan, just call me Xiao Yuanger, that's what all the brothers in my old unit called me." The little guy introduced himself with extra enthusiasm.

  The two of them chatted like this and soon became familiar with each other.

  Just then, from the other side of Wu Yaoling, a tall and burly man with a cold face walked in, washing silently.

  Wu Yaoling suddenly realized, turned her head and looked, instantly her face sank, with a feeling of seeing an enemy.

  "Hey, big fool, what's your name?" Wu Yaoling asked, splashing a handful of water at the man.

  The big guy was suddenly invaded by cold water, his eyebrows furrowed, and he turned his head to look at Wu Yaoling beside him. He didn't say a word, but there seemed to be some anger flashing in his eyes.

  "Hey, what's with that look? What's wrong? You looking for trouble?" Wu Yaoling was instantly provoked.

  "You'd better not mess with me!" Hou Yongqiang said coldly, looking at Wu Yaoling with an expressionless face.

  "What the...?! Who is this guy?! So arrogant?!" Wu Yaoling suddenly burst out laughing, splashing a wave of cold water onto Hou Yongqiang's body. Immediately afterwards, Wu Yaoling provocatively stared at him and shouted: "What's wrong? Not convinced? If you've got the guts, come on and try to hit me!"

  Bang!

  Hou Yongqiang suddenly turned his head, and with a loud bang, he smashed his fist onto the partition of the bathroom. The force was so great that it exploded with a deafening crash, causing the solid partition two inches thick to crack open.

  "If you want to look for trouble, I'll accompany you anytime!" Hou Yongqiang's cold voice came over, making Wu Yaoling's eyelids jump fiercely. My god, is this guy a cow? Such great strength?

  Seeing Hou Yongqiang's disdainful gaze, Wu Yaoling's heart skipped a beat, and the stubbornness in her heart was also triggered. Suddenly, she glared at him with both eyes wide open, showing no fear of him.

  "If you've got the guts, try teasing me!" Wu Yaoling said with a tilted head, instantly making the atmosphere in the bathroom tense.

  Both of them are strong-willed people, obviously neither is willing to admit defeat. If they clash, it's likely that neither will easily back down.

  "Hey, hey, I'm telling you two brothers, what's the point of this? We're all drifters from the ends of the earth, aren't we all brothers under the same sky? Don't make such a ruckus, it's not good for anyone." Sun Shaofeng, who was washing his hair nearby, heard the commotion and rushed over to mediate.

  "Who is his brother?" Wu Yaoling shouted in discontent.

  "Just because of him? A weakling like that is also worthy to be called brother with me?" Hou Yongqiang also had a disdainful expression, confronting Wu Yaoling.

  "What the...! Are you deliberately trying to pick a fight?" Wu Yaoling was instantly displeased and got angry.

  "If you have the ability, then take action, stop nagging." Hou Yongqiang coldly glanced at Wu Yaoling and then couldn't be bothered to respond, continuing to take a shower.

  Wu Yaoling saw this and suddenly became furious, wanting to rush forward. My goodness, how dare you look down on us!

  "Hey, brother, don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! Let's talk things over, we're under the same roof, after all. Let's not say anything rash, brother." Sun Shaofeng hastily grabbed Wu Yaoling, while Zhang Yuan also rushed forward to help mediate and console.

  Under the persuasion of his comrades, Wu Yaoling also hummed a cold snort and stopped paying attention to Hou Yongqiang, returning to the showerhead to continue washing off the mud on his body.

  It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that they finished washing up and hurried to the dining hall in a flurry.

  Dozens of people swarmed into the cafeteria, scrambling and snatching food.

  However, rushing into the cafeteria and looking at the white steamed buns and porridge inside, Wu Yaoling's face suddenly turned sour, and she couldn't help but mutter: "What kind of meal is this? Is this something humans eat? My god, this abnormal base won't be stingy with rations, will it?"

  "Brother, at this time, what's the point of being particular? As long as we have something to eat, that's good enough!" Sun Shaofeng advised from the side, with a serious and sincere expression.

  "We've all gone through such hardships today, and now you're serving us this at night? Can our bodies even digest it?" Wu Yaoling couldn't help but complain.

  "When you're full, you'll naturally be able to eat your fill!" Sun Shaofeng smiled indifferently and said with a hint of meaning.

  Wu Yaoling heard this and had no choice but to hit a bowl of porridge, pick up a bun, and sit down with Sun Shaofeng.

  He took a sip of the thin porridge, which was as watery as water. He nibbled on a steamed bun, which was as hard as mud. Wu Yaoling suddenly felt it difficult to swallow, and her face turned bitter for a moment.

  "My goodness, this meal is inedible!" Wu Yaoling fiercely threw the steamed bun into the bowl, feeling that life was too harsh.

  "Some people can't stand it anymore and leave early. Since no one is forcing anyone to come or go, why suffer in this nest?"

  Wu Yaoling's chatter was met with a sudden impatience from Hou Yongqiang, who responded with a hint of provocation in his tone.

  "What the...! Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?" Wu Yaoling glared at Hou Yongqiang, standing up abruptly with an icy tone.

  "What are you yelling about? Did I say anything to you? You're really stupid, looking for a fight when there's nothing going on." Hou Yongqiang retorted, lifting his head defiantly.

  "You little turtle, you want to force me to give you two big slaps in the face, is that it?!" Wu Yaoling suddenly became furious, walked out of his seat and rushed towards Hou Yongqiang.

  "Hey, hey, brother, don't do that! Don't use your fists! This is the army, not some street gang outside. There are rules here..." Sun Shaofeng hastily grabbed Wu Yaoling's arm and helped to mediate.

  "Xiao Yuanner, hurry up and stop them." Sun Shaofeng called out to Zhang Yuan beside him to stop Hou Yongqiang.

  "This turtle egg is purely looking for trouble, isn't it? If we don't beat him up, he won't be able to calm down tonight." Wu Yaoling clearly didn't want to give up.

  "Alright, stop arguing, we only have half an hour for lunch now. If we can't finish on time, let's just wait for collective punishment then." At this moment, someone else stood up impatiently and scolded, only to hear him (Xu Zhengliang) say: "I'm telling you two, can't you be more restrained? Don't drag us into your trivial matters."

  "I'm fed up with you two, you're too noisy!" said a stout man (Li Baoxiang) who couldn't help but stand up and say something fair.

  "I told the two brothers, why don't you both calm down for a bit and let us finish our meal first? You can continue to make trouble afterwards?" A slender man with a handsome face and clear eyes (Yuan Chaoguang) also stood up to persuade them. Next to him was another person of similar build (Chen Changde), who nodded in agreement.

  Listening to the advice of people around them, Wu Yaoling and Hou Yongqiang exchanged a glance, both somewhat indignant.

  "It's not impossible to let him off, as long as you can make him apologize, I'll be magnanimous and forgive him this time." Wu Yaoling hummed, looking at Hou Yongqiang with a slanted gaze.

  Upon hearing this, Hou Yongqiang's slightly restrained face turned cold and stern once again.
