Zhang Tie almost didn’t know how he could hold on until school was over in the afternoon without fainting. He was beaten up by a few guys from the Airplane Brotherhood at noon, and his lunch was completely reimbursed. He could only have an empty stomach the whole afternoon. When you are very hungry, you can only go to the school water pipe and drink a few sips of water in your mouth during the break - this is also one of the survival skills of this era learned in school, the school instructor said However, in some extreme cases, if there is really nothing to eat, if there is a clean water source, whether you are thirsty or not, you can pour some water into your stomach, which can relieve hunger and reduce your physical strength. A person who is hungry and has no water to drink can persist for up to two days, while a person who is hungry but has water to drink can persist for more than three days. This is the difference.
The only thing that makes Zhang Tie feel lucky is that today's afternoon class is a group military drill class. Among all the afternoon classes, it can be regarded as one of the classes with the least physical exertion. The entire afternoon class is composed of all graduating students. After putting on uniform infantry light armor, he carried a 3-meter-long drill spear and practiced in formation on the training ground. According to the instructor's instructions, he changed into various formations, practiced formations and assassinations, and became a first-level Being a lancer and obtaining a first-class lancer badge is the symbol and beginning of every boy becoming a man in this era. It is also the choice of most students during their military service. The Lancer is the unit that emphasizes formation and collective cooperation. It is the strongest unit and also the weakest unit. A spearman composed entirely of first-level combat soldiers can easily defeat more than three times the same unit on the battlefield. Level enemies are not capable of long-range, formation-free attacks, and a heavy armored spearmen phalanx composed of level 5 soldiers is a decisive force on all frontal battlefields. The entire Black Flame City, plus the surrounding millions of people, will ultimately only Three level five heavy armored spearmen phalanxes were assembled to serve as the ultimate force for the Coal and Steel Federation to rule the city.
Because his physical fitness is not dominant and he is a bit thin compared to others, Zhang Tie does not like the profession of spearman very much. The training spear that is more than three meters long and weighs more than ten kilograms is wielded and assassinated in his hand. Zhang Tie always felt very strenuous. Later in the training, every time he looked at the limp spear he stabbed out, Zhang Tie always doubted whether he could stab and kill the enemy with his speed and strength. Speaking of spears, Even that damn fat guy, Barry, seemed to be able to play better than him. After he stabbed himself with more than fifty shots, he felt that the strength of the gun was gradually weakening. That damn fat guy could actually stab him with more than seventy shots. Only slightly reduced. Of all the members of the Aircraft Brotherhood, he is the weakest with a spear himself.
Although he doesn't like the profession of spearman, Zhang Tie has to admit that Fang Zheng, who is composed of this profession that he doesn't like, gives him a great sense of security. Every time he stands in the middle of the square array inconspicuously, Sometimes, looking at the classmates standing around him, Zhang Tie always feels an inexplicable sense of security. This is a very contradictory feeling. To Zhang Tie, it seems that this is all the inconspicuous things in this era like him. The Sorrow of the Little People - Many times, you have to rely on things you don't like to survive.
During training in the afternoon, Zhang Tie felt that his entire stomach was like a bladder filled with water. Every time he moved, the water in his body made a loud banging sound, which made people panic. Several times, he was stabbing. When he moved a little louder, Zhang Tie felt that the water in his stomach was mixed with a strange smell like a rising tide, and rushed up to his throat. When he choked his throat and felt a little uncomfortable, it fell back again. He almost didn't spit it out again, but his hands always felt limp and lifeless. Several times, Zhang Tie felt the gun array instructor's stern eyes turning on him. After looking at him a few times, Zhang Tie , finally left his body with a hint of understanding disdain, and turned to look elsewhere. This made Zhang Tie secretly grit his teeth, but he had no choice.
The one who attracted the attention of the spear formation instructor was naturally Gris. Among the six spearmen formations on the training ground, the square spearman of Gris and his group was the most eye-catching. Gris, who was already a second-level combat soldier, immediately realized that he was different from other rookies during training. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall and equipped with a standard stainless steel weapon from the Black Flame City that weighed more than 30 kilograms. The spear and the triangular red spearman captain's flag on the spear made Gris so conspicuous in the entire spear formation, looking majestic and majestic. Under the appreciative gaze of the instructor, Gris became even more excited. Every time he stabbed a gun, he let out a roar like a howling ghost, filling the entire training ground with his roar.
Zhang Tie felt a little contemptuous in his heart, but he had to admit that if he faced off against Gris right now, he might be stabbed by that guy with three or two shots, or even just one shot. Gris is indeed proud. All the graduating students in the school, except for Gris, are only preparatory combat workers, not even first-level combat soldiers. According to the normal route, most of them are only in the first two years of military service, which is about At the age of 18, one completes the promotion from combat worker to first-level combat soldier in the army. During the eight years of military service, more than 95% of ordinary people will retire at the level of third-level to fourth-level combat soldiers, and a few will reach the rank of fifth-level soldier. Level 6, but only professional soldiers and some people who will rely exclusively on force for a living in the future may reach level 6. They can advance from soldiers to warriors and gain respect from people everywhere.
As soon as the afternoon military drill course ended, he changed out of all his equipment in the smelly equipment room and put on his shoes in a panic. Zhang Tie didn't even have time to say hello to Barry and the others, so he rushed over quickly, clutching his stomach. He walked out and made several other members of the Aircraft Brotherhood who were about to say a few words to Zhang Tie look at each other.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Shavin, who had brown hair and freckles on his face, scratched his head.
"He seems to have drank a lot of water in the afternoon. He probably can't hold it in anymore!" Baghdad replied. As a black man, Baghdad is the strongest among all the people in the brotherhood. This afternoon's training is also good for him. The easiest, and Baghdad also has the highest force value among the Aircraft Brotherhood.
"Haha, unlucky guy!" Wright laughed.
"Unlucky, I'm unlucky!" Even at this moment, Doug was still a little aggrieved, especially when he thought that today he was seen by many people with vomit on his face. Doug always felt that someone had been criticizing him throughout the afternoon. He pointed and pointed, making his nerves a little irritated.
"Okay, Barry will get your few silver coins back for you!" Siesta winked, made an obscene gesture with her hand that everyone could understand, looked at Barry, and suddenly Becoming full of pride, "All members of our fraternity must get rid of their status as boys before graduation and become real men!"
"Don't worry, your benefits will be great!" Barry patted the injured Doug and consoled him. Looking at Zhang Tie's disappearing figure and thinking of his four silver coins, the fat man on Barry's face trembled with distress for two times, and then shook his head, "An interesting guy, although his abilities are not yet high." It can be seen that he is ordinary in all aspects, but he has a good heart and a pretty good brain. He is a guy who can make people feel at ease. At least you don't have to worry about being plotted with this guy!" Fatty Barry said with a mature posture. He said while rubbing his chin.
Everyone nodded, except Doug who was still cursing and looking sad and angry.
Zhang Tie, who was almost about to explode from holding it in, rushed to the toilet. After peeing, he finally felt comfortable, but his stomach also roared like thunder. When he came out of the toilet, he rinsed his hands randomly on the water pipe. He rushed out of the school gate. Now he had four silver coins and thirty-four copper coins in his pocket. It was only right to get something to eat quickly, otherwise Zhang Tie doubted whether he could make it home.
There is a bakery not far outside the school. On ordinary days, Zhang Tie, who is so poor that he can’t even make a tinkling in his pocket, can only look at the tempting bread and swallow his saliva every time he passes by. But today, touching it After touching the money in his pocket, Zhang Tie finally had the courage to walk into the bakery. After spending 10 copper coins to buy a piece of ordinary rye bread and eagerly wolfing it down when he walked out of the bakery, Zhang Tie saw Teacher Dinah at a glance.
Teacher Dinah is still so beautiful and charming. Captain Colin and another male teacher walked with her diligently and gentlemanly, talking. At this moment, Zhang Tie had a large piece of bread stuffed in his mouth, and his face was covered by that. The piece of bread was a little deformed. When he saw Teacher Dinah, Zhang Tie froze immediately. Even Captain Colin didn't look at him. He probably felt that it was a bit embarrassing for him to admit that he knew this student at this time. Three A person walked past Zhang Tie without even looking at him. It wasn't until a few people walked far away that Zhang Tie reacted. He quickly turned around and looked at the reflection of the beautiful glass window outside the bakery to see what he had just looked like - holding half a piece of bread in one hand and chewing a large piece in his mouth, as if he was about to choke to death. , with his mouth open and his head tilted. Because he has been exercising in the afternoon, the nosebleed has not completely stopped. There are still two balls of paper in his nose, his eyes are squeezed into a slit, and there are some marks of being beaten on his face. Standing blankly like a fool, with some crumbs mixed with bread and saliva at the corner of his mouth, this face looked like an imbecile.
Is this what Teacher Dinah saw of herself just now? This discovery made Zhang Tie extremely frustrated and discouraged. No wonder Teacher Dinah didn't even look at him. He looked like a retarded person just now... When he lowered his head, he saw those grinning eyes again. They couldn't be more obscene. What wretched old leather shoes...
The fifteen-year-old green boy suddenly felt that all his thoughts were lost and his life was meaningless.
Zhang Tie looked at Teacher Dinah in the distance, and felt that the distance between Teacher Dinah's beautiful figure and him was getting farther and farther. At this moment, Zhang Tie even quietly followed Teacher Dinah for a while, watching all the way. The mood of looking at that beautiful figure was gone.
A person stood blankly outside the bakery, watching the people coming and going. Finally, he ate all the remaining bread bit by bit without knowing the taste, and then dragged his tired and confused body towards the east of Black Flame City. He walked to the commercial district, where, starting last year, his family found him a part-time apprenticeship through connections, so that he could learn how to make a living. For two days a week, Zhang Tie had to As usual, I have to go there and work for two hours before I can go home...
