Chapter 12 New Recruits Report for Duty 10

  Dizzy, Lei now understood that all those who were considered stupid, weak or problematic by Lian Zhang were all assigned to his class. However, Lei didn't dare express any dissatisfaction and loudly replied: "Got it! From now on, Zhang Nan is also in my class! Lian Zhang!" After finishing speaking, Lei quickly picked up a set of uniforms for Zhang Nan to wear, but since Zhang Nan was a bit chubby, Lei still had to put in some effort to get him dressed.

  Lian Chang then turned to a nearby officer and shouted: "You come and straighten out the troops, I get annoyed just looking at this trash."

  The officer smiled slightly and stepped forward, shouting at the new recruits: "Alright, now line up in three rows by height!" After everyone had lined up, the officer continued: "We've met a few times before, but it seems like you all still don't know my name. My name is Gao Wen, and this is Liu Ming." As he spoke, Gao Wen pointed to the superior soldier standing beside him, who was also the one who had stood guard with Gao Wen at the gate two nights ago.

  At this time, Lian Chang swept his gaze over the new recruits standing at attention and shouted: "Although these two do not currently hold any positions, they are here to assist me in training you. Their words represent my orders! If anyone disobeys their commands, that means disobeying my orders! Do you all understand?!"

  "Understood, Commander!" everyone shouted in unison.

  Lian Chang turned to Gao Wen and whispered: "Take them to the old crooked tree."

  Gao Wen nodded slightly and then turned to the new recruits, shouting: "Right turn!"

  "Wow!", although everyone hadn't undergone any formation training, Lei felt that everyone's posture was still very neat.

  Private First Class Liu Ming had run to the first position in the first row. After Liu Ming stood firm, Gao Wen shouted: "Now you just need to follow behind Liu Ming and run, I don't ask you to run neatly, but you must keep up with his speed, absolutely no one can fall behind. If someone falls behind, I will extend the training time, do you all understand?"

  "Understood!" everyone replied loudly, but in their hearts they were thinking about where Lao Wai Tree was and how far it was.

  "First row, go first! Second and third rows, follow behind!" shouted Gao Wen. "Run, march!"

  As Gao Wen's voice fell, the first row slowly started running under the lead of Upper Sergeant Liu Ming. The second row followed suit and moved behind the first row. Gao Wen inserted himself into the queue of the second row. Just as the third row was about to start running, the company commander turned around and whispered to the medic: "You come too, lest these trash have someone fall down on the road again."

  The health worker smiled slightly and ran after the third row.

  "Cough, cough......"

  As soon as they stepped onto the flat snow, a row of chaotic footprints appeared. The sergeant didn't run fast, and at first, everyone thought it wouldn't be hard to keep up with him. However, after running 400 meters, they found it was really difficult to keep up with the sergeant who maintained a steady pace. There were no smooth roads here, only rugged mountain paths, plus carrying a heavy load of 50 kilograms, which was too exhausting for the boys who had never participated in any exercise at home.

  The formation started to fall apart as they ran, but the upper-class soldiers' speed didn't slow down one bit. Those who were running slower and slower fell further and further behind, until only a handful of people could keep up with them. The distance between everyone was constantly increasing, and Lei felt that lifting his feet was getting harder and harder, and the weight on his back seemed to be increasing bit by bit. He glanced at the people around him, and from their expressions, he could tell they weren't much better off than him. Since no one had fallen yet, Lei gritted his teeth and continued forward, his footsteps steady. Originally in the third row, which was the last row of the formation, but more and more people were falling behind him, until Lei reached the middle of the formation.

  "Look at you guys, your team is getting longer and longer! You're just shouting from the back: "You trash! You can't even run 1,000 meters! Where did all the food you ate go?""

  "Cut." Lei whispered to himself, now he remembered the three bowls of noodles with shredded meat he had eaten yesterday. At that time, he should have eaten one more bowl, because that was their last meal.

  "Anyone who falls down or fails to reach the destination within the stipulated time will have no food to eat today!" The company commander continued to shout from behind.

  Cut, specified time, how could Lei remember the specified time? It seemed that even the teacher had never mentioned what the specified time was. Just as Lei was thinking about it, he found that the person in front of him was slowing down his pace, and his body was swaying from side to side, apparently unable to hold on any longer. The distance between Lei and him was getting closer and closer. It wasn't until Lei took a look that he realized the person wasn't anyone else but Zhang Nan from his class. Oh no, it seemed that Lei's physical strength was much stronger than Zhang Nan's, who was already struggling to support himself. How could the chubby Zhang Nan possibly hold on? Lei couldn't help but pray in his heart: "Zhang Nan, hang in there! You must hang in there! If you can't hold on, not only will you be punished, but I won't be able to take it either."

  "Thud!" With a sound, Zhang Nan finally collapsed and became the first person in the whole company to fall down.

  Lei hastily ran two steps forward to support Zhang Nan, Zhang Nan lifted his head and looked at Lei, hot air constantly blowing towards Lei's face, only to hear him shouting to Lei: "Sorry, sorry, Captain, I really can't run anymore."

  Now Lei only knew how heavy Zhang Nan was, and didn't know how the sanitation worker had lifted Zhang Nan up with one hand that day. Lei used both hands to exert all his strength to lift Zhang Nan up, shouting loudly: "Get up! Even if you can't run, you have to run, get up quickly!" However, Lei's strength could only lift Zhang Nan halfway up, and the other half of Zhang Nan was still lying on the ground and couldn't get up.

  At this time, Lian Chang discovered Lei and Zhang Nan. He quickly ran to the front of the two men and shouted at Zhang Nan: "You sick cat! Are you not working again? If you can't do it, I'll call the medical staff to take you back again. You'll be like a woman lying in bed for life, and I really don't want to see you again!"

  Zhang Nan looked up at Lian Chang and replied loudly, "No, Captain! I can still run!" Perhaps it was Lian Chang's words that hurt Zhang Nan's heart, or perhaps Zhang Nan feared punishment from Lian Chang. With Lei's help, he got back to his feet once again.
