Chasing the Light

Chapter 8: Being late will result in a penalty

Views:

Han Dong has been looking at his watch since he blew the emergency assembly whistle.

In five minutes, all the soldiers had assembled and were dressed neatly, except for the special trainees. However, he did not expect them to react as quickly as the veterans and assemble in place quickly. He gave them a time limit of ten minutes, a very generous time.

Time passed by minute by minute, at 9'41'', Shen Yifeng was the first to rush out, followed by Qi Lei, Liu Yayi, Ye Dansha, Song Haoyu, Chen Tao arrived at the 12'23'', and Deng Zian arrived at the 12'37''.

Han Dong's face was already very ugly at this time. What on earth was that Su Ran talking about? Did she need to put on some makeup before coming back

At 14'19''Su Ran finally appeared.

"Report." Su Ran shouted breathlessly. She knew without even looking that she was the last one, so she didn't dare to stand directly in the line.

Han Dong glanced at her seriously and did not let her return to the team.

Su Ran stood there awkwardly, feeling annoyed. She wanted to perform well, but the unexpected situation caught her off guard. The devil looked at her with dissatisfaction. Why did she always make a fool of herself in front of him? Next, was he going to scold her in front of everyone

The corners of Ye Dansha's lips curled up slightly as she smiled with glee.

Seven recruits were lined up at the front of the team. Compared with the neatly-lined soldiers standing beside and behind them, this row looked like a car accident scene.

Among the seven people, only Shen Yifeng and Qi Lei packed backpacks, but these backpacks were badly packed, with quilts stuffed in randomly. One-third of Qi Lei's quilt was exposed outside, and they held water bottles in their hands. The others came empty-handed, and even then some had their belts unfastened, their hats worn crookedly, and their shoelaces untied. What's even more terrible is that Deng Zian's clothes were on backwards, probably because he had them turned inside out when he took them off.

Su Ran was dressed neatly, but she was the last one to arrive, more than four minutes late.

They are simply a group of stray dogs, and don't look like soldiers at all.

When new recruits encounter an emergency assembly after joining the army, they will also be flustered and embarrassed, but compared with these people, they can all be called role models.

"Are you clear about the requirements for an emergency assembly?" Han Dong asked.

"Understand..." the eight students answered weakly.

"Speak louder, like a mosquito buzzing, to yourself?"

"Understood." Everyone answered loudly, thinking: This instructor is really fierce.

Last night, Ye Dansha shared with everyone the information she had heard about this instructor. Everyone was shocked by the amazing resume of this great man. Who dared not to accept his achievements under heavy fire? This was a real strong man, a soldier king, a great devil, incomparable to ordinary soldiers. His aura was so strong that he was intimidating without even getting angry. Even a cynical person like Chen Tao and Shen Yifeng, who was blessed with the status of an actor, did not dare to act rashly in front of this person. They could only show respect from the bottom of their hearts.

"All the recruits, turn around." Han Dong gave the order.

"Look at them, then look at yourselves. Are you soldiers about to go out to fight or refugees fleeing? Don't tell me this is your first time. Everyone has a first time, but I've never seen a more embarrassing first time than yours. The requirement for an emergency assembly for veterans is to assemble within 5 minutes and be fully equipped. I give you 10 minutes. Five comrades arrived on time, and three comrades were late. Forget about the equipment. You can't even wear your uniforms properly."

Under the sharp contrast, everyone felt a little ashamed and wanted to tidy up their clothes, but facing hundreds of serious and motionless soldiers, they did not dare to move.

"If this were a real war, you would have seriously hindered the troops and delayed military operations. It is even possible that enemy aircraft would have already bombed you before you could escape."

"As a soldier, you must always be vigilant and prepared to fight. Today is the first time, and I hope it will be the last time. Do you hear me clearly?" Han Dong said loudly.

Everyone responded in unison, "I heard it clearly."

"Except for the recruit class, all other classes turn right... Luo Wei will lead the team and run for five kilometers," Han Dong ordered.

The uniform footsteps echoed in the empty military camp on this quiet night, like drumbeats, beating out a shocking power.

Soon, only the recruits were left on the open space.

Han Dong's face was solemn, and his cold eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one: "The five students who were not late, the female comrades will run three kilometers cross-country, the male comrades will run five kilometers cross-country, and the three who were late will run an extra five kilometers on the playground after the five kilometers cross-country. Li Wei will lead the team, and we will set off."

Chen Tao's face twitched, but he didn't dare to protest.

When Su Ran heard that she had to run ten kilometers, her face turned pale and her calves started to twitch.

She had never run ten kilometers in her life, and she was having her period and was not feeling well.

Should she explain the situation to him? It wasn't that she didn't want to carry out his orders, but the task he gave her was far beyond her ability to bear. But would he believe it? He might even think she was making excuses to avoid punishment.

Just when Su Ran was struggling, Li Wei stepped forward and said, "Report."

Han Dong gave him a stern look and said, "Speak."

"Su Ran is a lesbian. Isn't ten kilometers too much for her?" Li Wei raised an objection. It was not because he was sympathetic to women, but based on the actual situation, five kilometers of cross-country plus five kilometers of running around the field would be a huge test for untrained male comrades. He felt that Su Ran could not complete it, and he didn't want anyone to die. After all, Su Ran was not those rough guys in the special forces.

Han Dong said expressionlessly: "In war, the enemy's bullets will not turn when they see female comrades. Since you are late, you must accept the punishment."

Han Dong said as he looked at Su Ran who was standing alone. Her face was as white as paper. She must be scared! However, if I don't give you a strong dose of medicine, you won't learn your lesson.

His sarcastic look aroused the stubbornness in Su Ran's heart. She decided to run. Today, she would finish the ten kilometers even if she had to crawl.

"But..." Li Wei still wanted to persuade the captain, but Yang Fan kept giving him looks, asking him to stop talking.

"Report." Su Ran said loudly, meeting his gaze without fear: "Ten kilometers, I'll run."

Han Dong was a little surprised. She answered so straightforwardly. Was she angry or was she really brave? But looking at her stubborn eyes, she was probably angry with him. Whether it was anger or courage, ten kilometers was not so easy to complete, especially for a weak and delicate woman like her. Five kilometers of cross-country plus five kilometers of long-distance running was simply an impossible task.

Su Ran herself said she ran, so Li Wei couldn't say anything else: "New recruits, everyone, turn left and run forward."
