In the middle of the night, a whistle sounded outside the door for an emergency assembly. Squad leader Li Wei shouted outside the door: "Emergency assembly, full equipment, time limit 8 minutes."
Everyone jumped out of bed with a start, cursing, "Fuck, here we go again."
But he didn't dare to be careless with his hands. He put on clothes and packed his backpack in a hurry. He wished he had two more hands.
"You're crazy! This quilt won't fit in no matter how hard I try." Ye Dansha tried to stuff the quilt into the bag, but the more anxious she became, the harder it got.
Su Ran quickly packed everything and stuffed her backpack into Ye Dansha's hand: "Take mine and go down quickly."
How could she fit in if she couldn't even fold the quilt properly? She didn't learn housework properly and just ordered Liu Yayi around.
Ye Dansha was stunned for a moment, stuffed the backpack back into Su Ran's hands, and said coldly: "None of your business is my business."
"Sister Su Ran, the time is almost up." Liu Yayi urged.
Su Ran said: "Who cares about you, just fold the quilt again."
Han Dong was calm and kept checking his watch. Seven people arrived at the meeting point within 8 minutes. The last person, Ye Dansha, was 1'32" late.
"This time you have made progress compared to last time. I believe you still have a lot of room for improvement. The next emergency assembly will be limited to 5 minutes." Han Dong said.
Everyone couldn't help but curse in their hearts. Five minutes was the speed at which veterans gathered. How could we hold them to the standards of veterans
"I said at the last emergency assembly that if you are one second late you have to run an extra 100 meters. This rule applies until you leave the army. Comrade Ye Dansha was 1'32" late today, so you will have to run an extra 9,200 meters later, which can be rounded up to 10,000 meters," Han Dong said leisurely.
Everyone was stunned. Is this how rounding is calculated
Ye Dansha wanted to die. What bad luck had she had these past two days? She was so unlucky. She was punished yesterday and again today. A 3km weighted cross-country run plus 10,000 meters, which meant she had to run 13km today. This was simply an impossible task.
"Report, I can't finish it." Ye Dansha was determined to do it. What else could she do if she couldn't finish it? Shoot her
"Can't complete it?" Han Dong's eyes condensed, as cold as a knife, and he said in a loud voice: "Yang Fan, go pack up Comrade Ye Dansha's belongings, call a car, and send her away immediately."
Yang Fan shouted: "Yes!"
The blood drained away from Ye Dansha's face instantly. Instructor Han didn't look like he was joking.
Song Haoyu, who was standing next to Ye Dansha, touched Ye Dansha with his hand and whispered, "A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him."
Ye Dansha bit her lips until they were about to burst, and said angrily, "Run if you want."
At worst, I can learn from Su Ran and pretend to faint. Then can I let her continue running even after she faints
"Report." Su Ran said loudly.
Han Dong looked at her expressionlessly. What did she have to say
"explain."
"Instructor, does everything you said count?" Su Ran asked.
Han Dong subconsciously recalled what he had said to her. He always felt that she was setting a trap for him. She was a woman who made him worry.
Han Dong's eyes wandered over Su Ran twice and said, "Of course it counts."
What else can I say? Can he say whether it counts depends on what the matter is and my mood
"Report, I'm fine."
Han Dong looked at everyone solemnly: "You have already gone through a week of adaptive training. Some comrades think that life is easy and being a soldier is not as hard as imagined."
Han Dong suddenly raised his voice and said, "That's your illusion. Starting today, I will let you truly experience what hardship is. All the new recruits, stand at ease, stand at attention, turn left, the men will carry the weight around the field for 10 kilometers, and the women will run 5 kilometers with the weight. Let's go!"
Ye Dansha felt dizzy. Wasn't it supposed to be a 3-kilometer run? How did it become a 5-kilometer run
Shen Yifeng led the team and started running, and everyone hurried to follow.
"Sister Su Ran, what do you mean by the question you asked the instructor just now?" asked the curious baby Liu Yayi.
Su Ran said, "Last time I was punished, didn't Instructor Han say that the task could be shared?"
Ye Dansha subconsciously wanted to retort: What does it have to do with you? Who asked you to pretend to be a good person
But she couldn't say it. 15 kilometers! It would kill her. Under such pressure, her backbone was meaningless. She needed help from her teammates.
"Su Ran, if you want to be a good person, you should do it yourself. Don't involve us. This is moral kidnapping." Chen Tao said unhappily.
This is a 10km weighted run. Do you know what weighted run means? It means running to the point where even a straw thrown at you can knock you down. He wasn't even sure if he could complete the task himself, so why did he help Ye Dansha run
Besides, it’s his business to help. If he wants to help, he will help. There’s no need for you, Su Ran, to interfere.
"Chen Tao, I know you don't like me. You can scold me if you want, or you can even never have anything to do with me again. But not now. We are comrades in the same trench. Would you abandon your comrades on the battlefield?" Su Ran said.
"Stop talking big and preaching. If you want to be a good person, do it yourself." Chen Tao didn't believe her nonsense. She just wanted to take the opportunity to please Ye Dansha and repair her relationship with Ye Dansha, but she pretended to be righteous and disgusting, just like a green tea bitch.
"I was planning to do it myself." Su Ran didn't want to argue with him. When she asked Instructor Han, she just thought about helping Ye Dansha run a few laps if she still had the energy to spare. She didn't think of morally blackmailing anyone.
But when Liu Yayi asked her, she said it without thinking much. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, which does give people the suspicion of moral kidnapping.
Forget it, as long as you have a clear conscience.
"I don't need your help." Ye Dansha turned around and glared at Su Ran in anger. She thought that except Su Ran, everyone else in the class would be willing to help her, but who knew that Chen Tao would be the first to stand up and oppose. Su Ran was not helping her, but slapping her in the face.
"If it weren't for you and me, I would be wearing this dress now. Do you think I am happy about it?" Su Ran said angrily.
She was taught from childhood that one should distinguish between gratitude and resentment, and between public and private affairs. No matter how deep the conflict between her and Ye Dansha was, they were now comrades-in-arms and should help each other. The squad leader repeatedly emphasized that they should help each other, unite and cooperate, which was the character of a soldier.
"You..." Ye Dansha was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Sister Su Ran, I'll go with you." Liu Yayi said.
Su Ran smiled. Liu Yayi is such a little cutie.
At the edge of the playground, Li Wei was recording his grades in a notebook. Yang Fan chuckled, "These guys are still in the mood to run and chat now, but I guess they will cry for their parents later."
Li Wei thought of the long list of training items to come, and his face was also solemn. He handed this week's training plan to the captain for review on Saturday afternoon, and the captain did not raise any comments. As a result, the captain suddenly proposed to modify the training plan last night, and the intensity was more than doubled. Sigh! I hope they can hold on.
I will attend the China Literature Annual Meeting tomorrow, so I will update once a day for the next few days. I will continue to update twice a day when I come back. Please continue to support me!
