Four Heavenly Kings Old Master

  Platoon disperses, training based on squad as unit!

  "Stand at attention for one hour, requirements: heels together and aligned, toes apart at approximately 60 degrees, abdomen slightly retracted, chest naturally upright, shoulders level, arms naturally hanging down, fists clenched, thumbs against the second joint of the index finger, middle fingers against the seam of the pants, neck straight, mouth closed, eyes looking forward horizontally!"

  Wang Hu's loud, hoarse and icy roar echoed through the military camp, his powerful voice seemed to be mixed with the sound of galloping horses, wild and shocking, the only thread of fatigue among the new recruits disappeared without a trace in this roar!

  King Tiger, with a face as cold as ice, held the armed belt and walked through each new recruit team, correcting their military posture without wasting words. The only sound was the "crack" of the armed belt whipping against their bodies.

  "Lin Zijian, are you going to lower your head and apologize to 'Second Master'?"

  "No!"

  "Then hold your head up for me!"

  "Remember the key to a military posture is having killer eyes! Do you know what it means to have killer eyes?"

  "I don't know!"

  "Is it you in front of a woman, you want to use your eyes to strip her naked and rape her?"

  "Forward march!"

  "Automatically find the way forward and backward, left and right - take a step out, don't be afraid of being led by the nose!"

  The class leaders led the way with their wild and crazy slogans, a dull and exhausting day passed, followed by another day.

  For some reason, there were still a few new recruits sent here for training, but those who kicked their legs off while marching in step didn't pay attention to them. With the little remaining time, most of it was used to make up for sleep or pull Xiao Pang to find a secluded place to smoke two cigarettes and relieve fatigue.

  At night, in the dormitory where snores rose and fell, someone would occasionally say unconscious dream words: 'Report to the squad leader, I didn't do it on purpose...!'

  "Tang Ao, Tang Ao, are you asleep?"

  Tang Ao was half asleep and half awake, as if he heard Hong E calling him from beside.

  "Tang Ao, Tang Ao, are you asleep?"

  The sound started again after a while, louder than last time.

  Tang Ao's eyes fluttered open in confusion, looking towards the hospital bed where Hong Yu was staring at him with two sparkling eyes that seemed to be shining brightly under the moonlight.

  Tang Ao slept without any intention, looking at his eyes and asking: "Hong Ya, what's wrong with your eyes?"

  "It's nothing, it's nothing!" Hong Yu hastily wiped away her tears with a quilt and shook her head repeatedly.

  Tang Ao also felt a pang of sadness and said: "You're crying, are you homesick?"

  Tang Ao guessed it, and Hong Yu didn't mind: "Do you still have cigarettes?"

  "Rooted for 18 generations, getting up in the middle of the night to smoke, your brain must have been kicked stupid by the class leader!"

  Tang Ao's face showed no mercy, but his hands somehow produced two cigarettes and a matchbox. He got out of bed, gestured for Xiao Pang to follow him, and the two of them slipped away to the bathroom, one after the other.

  Xiao Pang was like a veteran smoker who had been holding it in for a long time, and as soon as he entered the bathroom, he lit up a cigarette and took several puffs, inhaling half of it.

  "Thanks, Tang Ao!" Hong Yu raised the cigarette in his hand and thanked Tang Ao.

  Tang waved his hand magnanimously and said, "It's just one cigarette, and it was you who gave it to me!"

  "Keep this for yourself and eat it when you're hungry, a few pieces will be very nourishing!"

  Hong Fan pulled out a plastic bag from his pocket and tossed it to Tang Ao, who opened it to find pure chocolate and other snacks that he had only seen on TV. In those days, aside from the expensive price, you couldn't even buy these things in small cities, they were only sold in department stores in big cities.

  Tang Ao exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, great guy, looks like your family is quite wealthy?!"

  "It's not like you're very rich!" Hong Yan replied with a hint of sarcasm.

  "Is there still money? Why come and be a soldier?" Tang Ao peeled off several pieces of nai sugar and stuffed them into his mouth.

  "You think I wanted to be a soldier? I was beaten into the army by my dad!" Hong Ya put the cigarette in his mouth, reached back and flipped open the camouflage backpack on his back: "Don't believe me? Take a look!"

  The back was exposed to the air, and on the back, it was covered with dark red scars. Tang Ao almost threw up the few candies he had just swallowed: "You're rooted in eighteen generations, your old man really went too far, isn't he afraid of crippling you?"

  "Beat me up? You're underestimating my dad! I've been beaten by him so badly that I've ended up in the hospital at least three times since childhood. The last time was almost fatal, if I hadn't agreed to join the army, I'd be dead by now!"

  "Is being a soldier really that great? I don't feel it!"

  "You guys don't know, but those from the military compound are different!" Hong Die said with a pout: "Remember that 'giant baby' who started fighting with you as soon as he met you? He was tied up by his father, the old general, and brought here. That day he fought with you, it was because he was venting his anger at his dad!"

  "Remember, I heard it's called 'Thunderclap'! I haven't settled accounts with him yet!"

  "You're going to settle accounts with him? Are you out of your mind?! That guy looks like a Russian bear on steroids, and he's from the grasslands where they're experts at wrestling and close combat. I've heard that those who got beaten up by him are all cripples, not one of them is still standing! He's the infamous 'Heavenly King' from the Military Compound!"

  Tang Ao's Danfeng eyes flashed with a fierce and wild light, "The King of Heaven? If he hadn't run into me, then he would be the grandson of the King of Heaven - and the King of Heaven is me!"

  "Blow it! Blow so hard that trains won't burn coal anymore, and you can make them run with just two blows!"

  "Who is in the bathroom? Not sleeping, are you thinking of coming out to fold the quilt!?"

  Suddenly a cold shout rang out, scaring Tang Ao and Hong Liang into attention. Hearing this uniquely icy voice, there was no need to guess that it was definitely Wang Hu, the highest-ranking officer in the new recruit camp, who looked like he had been owed ten bucks by someone.

  Lao Yanchen Xiao Pang was very familiar with how to deal with this situation, and in an instant, he destroyed the cigarette butt. However, Tang Ao was in a predicament, holding snacks in his hand and the cigarette butt in his mouth. As the sound of footsteps got closer and closer, Tang Ao's tongue rolled up and swallowed the cigarette butt along with his saliva...!

  "Is Tang Ao's smoking addiction very serious?" Wang Hu asked directly after taking a few glances.

  "Report, I don't have a strong nicotine addiction!" Tang Ao replied in a hoarse voice.

  "Why did you come to the toilet to smoke in the middle of the night?"

  "Report, it's fun!"

  "Are you done playing?"

  "That's enough play, report!"

  "Does cigarette butt taste good?"

  "It's not delicious!"

  "Since we've played and eaten, now go back to sleep. Tomorrow's training will be tough on you!" Wang Hu didn't plan to investigate further.

  Tang Ao and Hong E's suppressed smiles, gloomily returned to the dormitory and dove into their quilts. The two were somewhat grateful for Wang Hu's leniency, if it were up to Wang Hu's usual attitude on the training grounds, tonight would have been a disaster for them.

  Hong Yu suddenly burst out laughing in his quilt, laughing so hard that the quilt on him shook violently. If someone didn't know better, they would have thought he had a big girl hiding under his quilt. But Tang Ao was too lazy to care and just covered his head, ready to fall asleep.

  But Hong Ya couldn't help it anymore, poking his head out of the quilt and whispering: "Tang Ao, Tang Ao, was it exciting just now?"

  Tang Ao stuffed a few nai candies into his mouth in an attempt to neutralize the smoky flavor and burning sensation: "Eighteen generations of ancestors, try eating a cigarette butt and see if it's stimulating or not, I'll never smoke again!"

  "Does cigarette butt taste good?"

  "Try it with milk and sugar, you won't believe it."

  "Grass, you're cheating!"

  "You've finally figured it out, I was scamming idiots!"

  Half a month later!

  The sunset by the sea is exceptionally desolate and beautiful, just like the fierce cries of the new recruits under the sunset, the exhausted and hoarse shouts of the smelly-faced instructors mixed with the sarcastic calls of the veterans, echoing and intertwining in this hellish cycle, such a bloody and wild scene!

  After half a month of queuing and internal training, the instructor replaced a group of soldiers with the same cold expression as Wang Hu, and the training also made a 180-degree turn to physical training!

  Endless physical training!

  Endless mutant body training!

  The pain has replaced the fatigue of the first half of the month. Xiao Pang said: I was born in the army, grew up in the barracks, but never knew that new recruits could play like this! The intensity of the scout training is already at its peak, and it's just like this?!

  At least dozens of people were carried or supported out of the training ground, which new recruits called "Inferno", due to injuries after a training session, and Tang Ao never saw them again!

  Another cycle of training has ended, and the new recruits are lying on the ground motionless like terracotta warriors covered in mud. Wang Hu lifted his military boots and kicked the cement floor several times with a loud "thud", saying coldly: "Are you all tired, mudfish?"

  This term is quite vivid, loach, it's really just like new recruits nowadays.

  The only response was the sound of heavy breathing, Wang Hu touched his own eyebrow mole and looked up at the fiery red sunset on the horizon, "Do another set of subjects."

  "Alright...got it!" The new recruit's response was listless and lacking in energy.

  "The first one who finishes the training session gets to ride a car back, while others have to run back!"

  As soon as the words came out, the new recruits on the ground sprang up like springs, rushing to the training field in rows. Tang Ao raised his fist and roared: "I want to be the first! Who dares to rob me, I'll kill him!"

  "Lightning First!"

  Rushing in front of Tang Ao was a sturdy new recruit, what an enemy in a narrow path, that new recruit was actually the 'giant baby' Lei Feng who poked noses with Tang Ao as soon as they met!

  "Is it you again, who has been rooted here for eighteen generations?!"

  Listening to the shouting and scolding behind him, Lei Feng's expression suddenly changed from calm to furious, apparently he also remembered Tang Ao, that guy who dared to launch a violent attack on him.

  He suddenly stopped in his tracks, swung up his rifle and gave Tang Ao a blow to the chest with the butt of the gun, sending him tumbling to the ground!

  "Nonsense!"

  Lei Feng panted with his hands on his chest, unable to catch his breath. Tang Ao disdainfully threw out two words and continued rushing towards the training grounds, his posture extremely arrogant. The nickname 'Heavenly King' was indeed not given in vain!
