Chapter 14 Military Training
Gu Dapeng immediately dropped the hat he was holding and pounced on it with a roar:
"Second brother! How did you collapse like that?!"
"You were perfectly fine yesterday! You can't die!"
The crying was deafening!
But... it's all thunder and no rain.
Their expressions were extremely exaggerated, as if they were performing a two-person comedy act.
Lin Le pushed up his glasses, trying to squeeze out two tears, but failed and could only wail:
"Su Ze! Hang in there!"
"I'll go too! I'm strong, I'll help carry it!"
The two men started to move closer together, trying to take advantage of the chaos and escape the Flaming Mountain together.
"stop!"
A loud shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
The instructor stared intently at Gu Dapeng and Lin Le, his face dark.
"What are you two doing?"
"This is just fainting, not a funeral procession!"
"What are you howling about? Are you afraid people won't know someone collapsed here?"
The instructor pointed at Gu Dapeng's utterly fake expression and sneered:
"With acting skills like yours, you think you can even get into a performing arts program?"
"Go back and practice some more!"
"Trying to slack off? No way!"
"You two, stand back down! Move again, and you're out for an extra five kilometers!"
Gu Dapeng and Lin Le froze instantly.
awkward.
Social death.
The two of them, looking like wilted eggplants, slunk back into the group, not forgetting to give Jiang Bai a resentful look.
On what grounds?
Why is it that the third brother gets away with it, but we get arrested for acting?
Is this the difference in appearance?!
The instructor turned to look at Jiang Bai, his tone softening slightly:
"Alright, stop standing there."
"Since he's your roommate, you're responsible for taking him to the infirmary."
"Get back right away after you deliver it. Don't even think about slacking off, you hear me?"
"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
Jiang Bai gave a somewhat awkward salute and then lifted Su Ze up.
The advantage of having nine points of stamina was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Su Ze is over 1.8 meters tall and weighs over 140 kilograms.
Jiang Bai supported him as if he were carrying a ball of cotton, and he moved with incredible speed.
"Let's go, let's go! Hang in there, second brother!"
Jiang Bai shouted as he dragged Su Ze away from the playground at high speed.
It left behind a group of envious, jealous, and resentful glances.
……
Once out of the instructor's sight.
After turning two corners, we came to the shade of a tree.
Su Ze, who was originally as soft as noodles, was instantly "revived".
"call……"
"He's alive! He's alive!"
Su Ze jumped off Jiang Bai, dusted himself off, and looked smug.
"How's that, third brother? Pretty quick, buddy?"
"The sun was so strong it felt like a scorching scorching sun. If I stood there any longer, my delicate skin would peel off."
Jiang Bai rolled her eyes and shook off his hand:
"You're kidding me."
"If I hadn't acted so well and saved your life, you would have been kicked back by the instructor by now."
"Look at the miserable state of the eldest and fourth brothers, how can you be so shameless?"
Su Ze chuckled and pulled a pack of tissues from his pocket to wipe his sweat.
"This is called a tactical retreat."
"The eldest and fourth brothers' acting skills are just too bad, they can't blame anyone else."
"Besides, my life is very precious."
"My old man has worked so hard to earn so much money, and he's waiting for me to squander it all in the future."
"If I die from the heat during military training, who will pay for it?"
"For the safety of my family's assets, I must protect my health!"
Listen.
Is this even human language?!
Jiang Bai really wanted to kick him.
These are the evil rich people.
"Alright, stop joking around."
"Go to the infirmary, buy a bottle of water, and hurry back."
"The instructors aren't stupid. If we stay too long, we'll definitely be punished when we get back."
Although Su Ze wanted to slack off, he knew his limits.
The two went to the infirmary and pretended to get a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine for treating ailments), then lingered in the air-conditioned room for another ten minutes.
Finally, under the school doctor's disapproving look, he reluctantly returned to the playground.
……
The afternoon training was even more grueling.
Perhaps it was Su Ze's fainting incident in the morning that provoked the instructor.
At the start of the afternoon, the instructors increased the training intensity.
"Everyone, turn right!"
"Stand still, move forward!"
"One two one, one two one!"
"stand at attention!"
"One...two..."
The instructors kept practicing marching, kicking, and waving their arms.
The wails from the classroom echoed through the sky.
But this is of no use.
Those who were training continued to train, and even though the afternoon sun was even stronger, many people complained of suffering after less than twenty minutes of training!
Some were panting like bellows, while others simply lay there motionless.
Su Ze was so exhausted that his face turned ashen, filled with regret.
If I had known the training would last this long this afternoon, I wouldn't have pretended to faint this morning. I should have saved my get-out-of-jail-free card for now!
Among this group of defeated and remnant soldiers.
Jiang Bai remains an anomaly.
He was the only one in the team whose breathing was even and whose movements were extremely precise.
With nine points of stamina, he felt like a perpetual motion machine!
Let alone half an hour of training, even if it's an hour, he can perfectly meet the standard!
Sunlight shone on his face, and sweat streamed down his chin, but instead of looking disheveled, he exuded a wild beauty.
Many girls couldn't help but be drawn to him.
"Who's that guy? He's so handsome!"
"Your stamina is amazing; you haven't even been out of breath after training for so long."
"It looks like Jiang Bai?"
"That's a real man! Much stronger than those weaklings who can't even run two steps!"
Even the instructor, who had been keeping a stern face, fixed his gaze on Jiang Bai.
He looked at Jiang Bai's perfect posture and abundant energy, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
After half an hour of training, the team rested and adjusted, and most of them collapsed on the ground.
Jiang Bai glanced at the scorching hot floor. He didn't want to sit down in the scalding heat, so he simply remained standing.
suddenly.
The instructor walked to the front of the group, pointed at Jiang Bai, and said loudly:
"Look at them all! Let me see them all!"
"Now that's more like a soldier!"
"Look at you all, acting like you're going to die after just a few stretches. Are you even men?"
"And look at Jiang Bai!"
"Not only does she take good care of her roommate, but she's also incredibly fit!"
"This spirit is something you should all learn from!"
"Jiang Bai, well done! You deserve praise!"
Jiang Bai listened to the instructor's praise, but inwardly he smiled bitterly.
Instructor, please stop praising me.
Didn't you see the murderous glares from those boys around you?
This is practically making him the target of hatred!
Especially Gu Dapeng and Lin Le next to him, their eyes were filled with resentment, like two women in their secluded chambers.
"Third brother, you've changed."
"You've been secretly getting extra lessons behind our backs?"
"We both received nine years of compulsory education, so why is your herniated disc so prominent?"
Jiang Bai could only pretend not to hear, keeping his eyes fixed ahead, concealing his merit and fame.
……
The day of grueling training finally came to an end.
As the sun set, it bathed the playground in a golden hue.
"Disband!"
At the instructor's command, everyone cheered as if they had been released from prison.
Everyone dragged their tired bodies and moved towards the cafeteria in twos and threes.
Jiang Bai didn't rush to leave.
He glanced at the time; it was five o'clock.
The preliminary selection for the freshman welcome party will be held tonight at 6 PM in the auditorium.
He had one hour left and had to go.
For a million dollars, and for that damn system mission, he has to transform into the "Sweetheart Queen" tonight.
However, there is still night training.
If you are absent without permission, you will be disciplined.
Jiang Bai's gaze swept around and locked onto the class monitor not far away.
He was a bespectacled boy who looked very honest; his name was Chen Jie.
Jiang Bai walked over quickly.
"Squad leader, wait a minute."
Chen Jie turned around and was stunned to see Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai was in the limelight today, receiving praise from the instructors and being talked about by the girls.
"Jiang Bai? What's the matter?"
Jiang Bai brought out the reason he had prepared long ago, and a signature sincere smile appeared on his face:
"Squad leader, um... I'd like to ask for leave from tonight's night training."
"A request for leave?" Chen Jie frowned. "You're generally not allowed to take leave during military training unless you're very sick."
"It's not an illness."
Jiang Bai leaned closer and lowered his voice, saying:
"I went to participate in the preliminary selection for the freshman welcome party."
"Our counselor, Lao Zhang, specifically instructed me to go and bring honor to our class."
"You know, if our class can put on a performance, it's a collective honor."
Upon hearing that it was instructed by the counselor and was for the honor of the class, I realized...
Chen Jie's expression immediately relaxed.
"Oh, I see."
"It is indeed a serious matter."
"Since it was arranged by Teacher Zhang, then there's no problem."
"Go ahead, I'll explain things to the instructor tonight."
"Good luck! Try your best to get elected!"
"Thank you, squad leader!"
Jiang Bai breathed a sigh of relief and patted Chen Jie on the shoulder.
Get it!
