Night, DC City.
Lu Cheng finally had a night of free time. Under normal circumstances, Lu Cheng should spend this rare rest time doing some personal things.
However, Lu Cheng was a little worried about the enlistment status of the Mei brothers and sisters, so Lu Cheng specially found the instructor in charge of the recruit company at night... Pictorial.
"This is their physical examination data from yesterday." Pictorial handed a report to Lu Cheng.
I haven't seen her in the magazine for almost half a month, and her complexion is obviously much better. It may be because she has become a mother and is about to get married.
She was only a medical soldier in the initial exploration team. After the establishment of the Special Zone City, Pictorial took the initiative to take on the role of the new recruits camp, or more accurately, the ideological education work for the indigenous people of the Special Zone City.
The daughter adopted by the pictorial is also a native of this world.
"Everything is normal. I heard that you took them to practice marching today?"
Lu Cheng took a quick look at the report handed over by the pictorial. There was nothing noteworthy. The physical examination for new recruits was nothing more than that. Apart from stripping naked for the examination, there was nothing worth paying attention to.
"It takes half a month to apply for military status, but Captain Lu and his men are already new recruits, and we can't just let them sit around doing nothing in the camp," said the pictorial.
During the time that Lu Cheng and Hua Hou were on the mission, he felt that Hua Hou was a strong and serious woman who was very strict with the soldiers under her command.
"What is the psychological state of both of them?"
This is the part that Lu Cheng cares about the most. The pictorial magazine never lets off steam in the training of new recruits. Most of the new recruits cannot withstand the training in the previous week, not to mention the two Mei siblings who have not received any education in modern social thought.
"Not very good. I gave them psychological counseling. As a younger brother, Meris couldn't accept it." Pictorial said, "But Captain Lu, I will make them qualified."
"Excuse me, this mission has delayed the time for you and Feng Zheng to get your marriage certificate, right?"
If Lu Cheng remembered correctly, Feng Zheng and Hua Bao were progressing at a very fast pace. Lu Cheng felt like they were not dating one second, and the next second they were discussing when to get married.
"The mission is important." Huabao kept a stern face, trying her best not to let Lu Cheng see any unnecessary emotions on her face.
"Actually, I'm quite envious of you for getting to know each other in the team. Let's not talk about that anymore. I'll give you a break after the recruit training is over."
Lu Cheng returned the briefing to the pictorial, and after confirming the follow-up plan with the pictorial, he left with peace of mind.
The Crystal Spirit appeared on Lu Cheng's shoulder when he walked out of the residential area.
Before it could stand on Lu Cheng's shoulder for a second, Lu Cheng grabbed its wings and pulled it off his shoulder.
"What happened again?" Lu Cheng asked.
Lu Cheng knew that when the Crystal Spirit suddenly came to find him, there was basically nothing good about it.
"Of the two newcomers you care about, one of the women ran away secretly on her own. Her mental state is very unstable." said the Crystal Spirit.
"Newcomers? The Mei brothers and sisters... can you even detect their status?"
Not long after Lu Cheng brought the Mei brothers and sisters back to the Special Zone City, he directly washed away their seal inscriptions belonging to Yuannan. The two basic inscriptions that Lu Cheng gave them had this function.
"I can't sense their status. I rely on vision and hearing to judge." The Crystal Spirit can only detect the thoughts of the Skare people. The Mei brothers and sisters do not have Skare nationality.
"Vision and hearing? The female should be Mayer, where is she now?"
Lu Cheng asked the Crystal Spirit about Meyer's location, and it flapped its wings and began to lead the way for Lu Cheng.
The new recruits' barracks in the Special Zone City are located near the refugee camp, which can now be called the outskirts of the indigenous residential area. The buildings here have also evolved from tents into four-story residential buildings.
The construction of twenty residential buildings consumed nearly two hundred energy coins from Lu Cheng, but these energy coins were all worth spending.
Lu Cheng found Mayer in a remote place near a residential building. She was sitting on a bench with a dim fluorescent lamp next to her.
Before Lu Cheng approached her, he could vaguely hear her sobbing.
This girl is hiding here alone, crying secretly...
"Do you think the training for new recruits is too strenuous?" Lu Cheng walked slowly towards Mayer who was sitting on a bench. Mayer only noticed Lu Cheng's presence at this moment and suddenly raised her head. When she saw Lu Cheng, she hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The effect was obvious on the first day of recruit training. When Meyer first met her in Lucheng, she was a whole circle darker.
"You... why are you here? No... what do you want me to do?" Meyer stood up and was very wary of Lu Cheng, because Lu Cheng was her boss now.
"Don't be nervous, I'm a psychological counselor." Lu Cheng had two cans of Sprite in his hand and threw one of them to Meyer.
Meyer thought it was some dangerous explosive, so he quickly stood up from the bench and dodged the can of Sprite.
"This is a drink, and it's delicious." Lu Cheng picked up the Sprite speechlessly and handed it back to Meyer, while demonstrating how to open the Sprite.
Meyer opened the Sprite following Lu Cheng's actions. She carefully drank the first sip and then started to take the second sip.
But as Meyer drank, the tears that she had been holding back began to flow out from the corners of her eyes again.
"The training for new recruits shouldn't be that hard, right?" Lu Cheng's first impression of Meyer should be that he was the same type of person as the pictorial poster.
"It's not because of the recruit training, it's because..." Meyer kept adjusting her inner emotions, but the feeling of grievance still gushed out from her heart like a flood.
"because?"
"I...thought of one thing. If you had found us earlier, maybe my father and mother wouldn't have died." Meyer choked up and said, "We wouldn't have such a hard time in this world."
Lu Cheng fell silent when he heard this. From old man Mei Su's account, he learned that their parents had passed away when they were still young, and their death was said to be quite tragic.
"It won't be so hard in the future. It should be said that it will be hard in another way. We are all your family. In this big family, you don't need to be afraid of anything whether in this world or in our world, except laws and regulations." Lu Cheng said, pointing to the epaulettes on her shoulders that represented a recruit.
"Just like you changed Scarre?" Meyer asked suddenly.
"Well, it won't be long before the world changes." Lu Cheng raised the Sprite in his hand and said, "To put it in a more clichéd way, everything will get better."
