From nightfall to sunrise, only seven short hours!
Allen's jet lag hadn't adjusted from the earth, so he quickly put on his uniform with his swollen head in his hands, and led his team to the big playground to assemble. There are only 18 hours a day on Pluto, and the days are long and the nights are short. When you first arrive on this planet, you have to go through a period of time to adjust. Of course, the army will not allow you to change slowly on your own, but use strong methods to reverse your physical and psychological changes in a very short period of time.
Those who couldn't adapt were either sent back or died in some armed conflict.
On the big playground, ten teams and hundreds of soldiers lined up neatly. Colonel Berry brought another officer to the playground today. This officer looked quite young, in his early twenties. His short hair was dry, gray and dull. On the cold face, an ugly scar ran across his eyes and across the bridge of his nose, almost cutting his head off.
The eyes with azure blue pupils cast a cold gaze across the soldier's face. Allen noticed his right hand, which was a mechanical prosthesis. There were no artificial skin grafts for camouflage, but the cold metal bones and the energy wires that replaced the blood vessels were all exposed. On the officer's waist hung a long tactical knife with the logo of an eagle's head on it. It was an extended version of the Steel Eagle War Knife, which was standard melee equipment in the army, but not a magic weapon.
His epaulets are two long swords upside down and side by side, indicating that he has the rank of major. A major uses a standard weapon, either because he is too big, or because he has excellent skills in this weapon. Judging from the stern murderous aura that could not be hidden exuding from his whole body, Allen believed it was the latter.
"Rookies, this is Major Kejiesi. He is also your instructor. What you have to do is to strictly follow the regulations in the soldier's manual, obey and obey!" Colonel Berry said loudly: "Now, report the number!"
When the soldiers began to count, Bailey and Kejiesi whispered a few words, pointed to Allen and Lucy, and then turned and left. After the soldiers reported their numbers, Kejies stretched out his hands and gestured for silence, and then said: "You have a three-month internship period, and only those who can stay after the internship period will be officially used by the base. Otherwise, those who don't Get out of here for all those who pass.”
His voice was hoarse, like sand scraping across an iron plate, and it was definitely not pleasant. The major glanced at Alan and Lucy, and said again: "I know that some of you have special identities. Hey, it's a pity that this is not Babylon, so I don't care about young masters and young ladies. Here , you are just soldiers! You can only be soldiers! If I let you run, you will never let me go, do you understand!"
"Yes, sir!" Everyone answered in unison.
Ke Jiesi nodded and said: "Now, I will announce the tasks you are going to complete today. Sergeant Allen, please take your team out!"
Allen immediately led his team out, and Ke Jiesi walked up to Allen with a half-smile on his face. He casually pointed to a certain barracks on the other side of the playground and said, "Your task today is to clean that dormitory. Yes, I want to see that every corridor is spotless. This work must be completed before sunset, otherwise, today's You don't have to eat tonight."
"Yes, sir." Allen replied, then gestured, and led the people to the dormitory designated by Kejiesi without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, Hubble laughed smugly, yesterday he could
He found his brother who was a major and sued Allen severely. Now that Allen is obviously being made things difficult by Ke Jiesi, Hubble thought to himself, who would dare to make things difficult for him in the future.
"Sergeant Hubble! Line up!" Kejies suddenly shouted.
Hubble quickly restrained his smile and led his team out. Ke Jiesi pointed to another dormitory with a blank expression: "That's your job today."
"Brother, are you right?" Hubble thought he heard it wrong.
Ke Jiesi said coldly: "Please pay attention to your tone, Sergeant. There are no brothers here, only majors and sergeants!"
"Yes, sir." Hubble said hurriedly, and then led the team away in a desperate manner.
As a result, today, the tasks assigned to the ten teams are all the same. Each team is responsible for the cleaning of a barracks, without exception.
The second and third days are all the same work. On the fourth day, some soldiers finally started to complain.
"I quit!"
Allen was cleaning the corridor with a vacuum cleaner when he heard a soldier yelling and throwing the broom on the ground. He said loudly, "I'm here to fight, not to be a worker! That major is clearly teasing us!"
"That's right, even if it's like training us in the reserve regiment, but let us be cleaners, what's the matter?"
Several soldiers responded one after another.
Allen raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "What's the first item in the soldier's handbook?"
No one answered, Allen himself said: "It is obedience."
"What about the second one?" he asked again.
Naz stood up and replied, "I still obey."
"Article three!" Allen's tone became sharp.
The few soldiers who wanted to strike reluctantly replied: "Obey."
"Yes, it seems that you have not forgotten that you are soldiers. What we have to do is to obey the major's order and do our best. Instead of worrying about whether the order requires us to clean the dormitory or go to battle to kill the enemy. Besides, If you have the strength to complain, why not strive to pass the internship period as soon as possible. After becoming an official establishment, are you afraid that you will not have the opportunity to fight?" Allen said solemnly: "Then, if there are no other problems, continue to work."
"Yes, sir."
"It's too quiet, I can't hear you."
"Yes, sir!" shouted the soldiers.
Standing in the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory, he faintly heard the roar from upstairs, Ke Jiesi smiled, turned and left.
A week passed quickly, and this week Alan and their tasks can be said to be boring. But every day, Allen would ask his soldiers to go all out and strictly follow the major's requirements. At the same time, Allen quickly adapted to the environment of Pluto. On Monday of the second week, when he stood on the playground again, he had fully adapted to the long days and short nights of Pluto.
Today, Major Kejies has a tablet brain in his hand. On the screen of Zhinao is a form, which lists the performance assessments of the ten teams this week. Among the ten teams, only Allen's score is "A" every day, and the rest are AB, and some teams even score C. After Kejiesi announced the results, he said: "From this moment on, Sergeant Allen and his team will enter the second stage of study. As for you, one day when your grades for a week are all A, you will start It’s time for the next phase of learning.”
"I know, cleaning the dormitory is
A very boring thing. But this mission tests your obedience to your superiors. On the battlefield, your superiors' orders are everything. There is simply no time for you to question or object, all you have to do is get it done as quickly as possible. If you can't obey the instructions, what's the battle? " Kejies said.
A sergeant raised his hand and said, "Major, do you mean that even if the superior's order is wrong, we must complete it?"
"That's right, there can be no doubts in the army, at least absolutely not during the battle. Sometimes one person's doubts will affect the overall layout, and even drag down the battle situation in other places." Ke Jiesi said forcefully, and said: "Of course, if the order is confirmed to be wrong after the battle, then the guy who issued the order will be punished accordingly. Perhaps this approach is unfair to the soldiers participating in the battle, but the military department can only do this. At the same time, it is also It is required that everyone who gives an order must understand that he bears the life and honor of the entire team! Every order must be cautious!"
From this day onwards, the place where Alan and the others gathered was no longer the playground, but a tactical conference room that could accommodate thirty or fifty people. Of course, there are only Allen and the team in this meeting room for the time being. Kejiesi stood on the podium in the conference room, behind him was an electronic curtain wall. Now, some pictures are emerging on the electronic curtain wall. These pictures are all dangerous species on Pluto, Ke Jiesi reached out and pressed the curtain wall falsely, pulled out a picture from it and enlarged it.
In the picture is a giant ant, and there is a human man next to it as a reference, so it is not difficult to see that this ant is the size of a light locomotive. The carapace of the giant ant is reddish brown, with black bristles growing on the joints and limbs, and two scimitar-like molars protrude from the mouthparts on the head. The most striking thing is its pair of front feet, which have a blade-like front end.
"This is the sword ant, one of the most common dangerous species on Netherworld, and it is also a servant beast that the sword demon tribe can tame and use as cannon fodder for war." Kejiesi said: "Although the blood eagle base is responsible for logistics work , located at the rear of the battle line. But believe me, the chances of you encountering sword demon servant beasts will not be much less. Just like this kind of sword ants, they have strong adaptability and short breeding cycle, and almost every medium-sized tribe will have Breeding servants like this."
"Sword ants are very aggressive, and the blades on their front feet can easily cut an adult in half. However, they are very fragile, and ordinary firearms and rifles can effectively kill them. The reason why knife ants are troublesome is not their individual combat power. It lies in their swarming. Often when you see knife ants, there will be at least one colony of thousands of ants active nearby."
Kejiesi opened another picture, which was a long worm. It is also an adult man as a reference object. It can be seen that this worm has a body as thick as an oil barrel, has no eyes and nose, and has many pairs of legs. There is a big mouth hanging on the head, and the sharp teeth of the mouth are opened, looking hideous. The major introduced: "This is an earth-boring worm, and it is also one of the beasts kept in captivity by the sword demon tribe. It's just that it is different from the knife ant in charge of attack. As its name says, the main job of this kind of insect is to dig tunnels .Earth borers and knife ants are the two most widely distributed and most numerous dangerous species on Netherworld. Even if they are not kept in captivity by the tribe, they are still the objects we need to be vigilant and eliminate."
"There are some knife ant nests and ground insect nests near the Blood Eagle Heights. A large part of the mission of the base soldiers is to wipe out these dangerous species to prevent them from breaking into the base and causing damage."
As soon as Ke Jiesi finished speaking, a harsh siren suddenly sounded outside!
