I Just Want To Retire Quietly

Chapter 9: Eighteen (three)

Views:

The military training of the special class is different from that of other departments of the Central Military Academy, and the assembly location is also different.

It’s not about isolating this class, but the intensity of the training is different and ordinary students can’t keep up.

The military training instructor is also someone that everyone is familiar with. He knows each student's strengths and weaknesses clearly. He can group them according to their characteristics and make appropriate adjustments to the training content. However, this year a transfer student came in. Although his superiors said that Tan Yan's physical fitness is still good, Instructor Zhou still feels at a loss as he doesn't know him well.

Everyone lined up. The average height of the entire class was 1.9 meters. With a height of 1.8 meters, Tan Yan was at the very end of the line. He was the shortest in the class.

There were two people in a row, and the seat next to Tan Yan was empty, so he was in a row alone. The number of people in the special class was odd.

"Stand at attention, at ease!" Instructor Zhou shouted loudly, "I believe everyone is familiar with me, so I won't be polite. The first military training of the new semester is not easy. We will do our best to protect everyone's safety, but accidents will still happen. People who are not strong enough are very likely to lose their lives. If you want to withdraw, apply now. Although you will be demoted to an ordinary class, it is better than losing your life!"

"Make a decision within ten numbers!"

"Ten, nine, eight..."

"No one will quit, right? Don't you understand us after all these years, Lao Zhou?" A lazy voice came from the left side of the team.

A young man with a plaster arm standing next to Tan Yan in slippers, winked at the instructor: "Why didn't you notify me about the military training? What if I get demoted to a regular class? All these years of my training will be wasted."

"Nonsense!" Instructor Zhou walked up to the young man and said, "You are injured. The organization has specially approved that you can not participate in the training. Go back and recuperate. Why did you sneak out of the hospital again?"

The young man adjusted the brim of his hat with his good hand and said with a smile, "It's not like I can be exempted from the training. It's just that my military training will be postponed to next year and I will train with the next class of freshmen. I don't want to fall behind. It will be too embarrassing if everyone else goes to fly fighter jets next year and I am training with the freshmen of a lower class."

"You don't even dress properly. What a disgrace! I order you to go back and recuperate!" Instructor Zhou said sternly.

"My feet are still swollen and I can't wear combat shoes. Just turn a blind eye. Anyway, this military training is not a drill. There is still a month before the final parade." The young man said, "Besides, if I were really on the battlefield, I would not run away just because I was injured. This is also a real combat exercise. I need to be able to deal with all difficulties."

Behind the nonchalant tone is a strong confidence in oneself.

If he was not full of self-confidence, he would not have insisted on participating in the training despite being injured. This student was sure that he could complete the training task even with an injury.

Tsk! More than half of the students gritted their teeth inwardly.

Everyone knows that this military training has mission requirements. The 40 people in the class are divided into eight teams. They are required to find the "criminals" arranged by the organization in the training jungle, successfully rescue the "hostages", and the team that reaches the finish line first with the "criminal evidence" wins.

Unsuccessful teams will not be eliminated to ordinary departments, but will have penalty tasks. But who wants to lose

I originally thought that Liang Xian would not participate this time, and everyone could be more relaxed, but I didn’t expect that even though he was half disabled, he still had such a strong desire to win.

"No!" Instructor Zhou was very stubborn. "Orders are orders."

"Okay then." Liang Xian took out his mobile phone from his arms with difficulty and made a call. After the call was connected, he handed it directly to Instructor Zhou.

Instructor Zhou took the phone in confusion: "Hello? Who is this?"

Not knowing what the other party said, he immediately stood at attention and saluted, his voice becoming sonorous and powerful: "Yes, sir, yes, I will complete the mission!"

After hanging up the phone, he glared at Liang Xian and said, "Return to the team, stand at attention. Even if you are injured, you must stand properly. You are slouching like a gangster!"

"Yes!" Liang Xian habitually wanted to salute with his right hand, but it pulled the wound and he grimaced in pain, but did not make any sound.

Although his foot was still bandaged, he still stood straight beside Tan Yan.

Instructor Zhou was worried when he saw the two problem students in the last row. One was injured and the other had never participated in the special class education. The military training content was quite difficult. It was really...

It seems that he must pay extra attention to this team.

"Everyone knows the mission content, and there will be no more detailed hints. What I can tell you is that the mission location is very unfamiliar, there is no map, and it is unclear where the enemy is hiding. You will face a group of vicious 'criminals' who may kill the hostages and destroy the evidence at any time. You must rescue the 'hostages' without alerting them. Once the 'hostages' are killed or the 'evidence' is destroyed, it will be considered a mission failure, and everyone will be punished. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Let me read out the group list," Instructor Zhou took out a pen and paper from his arms, "Group one, Qiu Qizheng, Cui Heyu, Qin Li, Liang Xian..."

When he mentioned the last person, he paused, glanced at the last row, and continued: "Tan Yan; the second group, Qin Li..."

"Tan Yan?" Liang Xian had been recuperating from his injuries these days and had no time to look at his phone. He was stunned when he heard this unfamiliar name.

Only then did he realize that the young man standing next to him was not his familiar classmate at all.

After reading the grouping, Instructor Zhou said, "Now, get on the bus in groups. Each group has a different starting point, and no one knows the whereabouts of other groups. There are equipment for this mission on the bus. You can count the equipment on the way and get going!"

There were eight cars parked in the parking lot at the school gate, without any number. It was obvious that whoever arrived first would get the best spot. As soon as Instructor Zhou gave the order, everyone immediately ran to the parking lot. Only Liang Xian was the only one who was walking slowly behind in his slippers.

Tan Yan, who was walking in front of him, saw Liang Xian like this, walked up to him and asked, "Where are you injured?"

"My right arm is fractured, and my foot was bitten by a poisonous snake and the swelling hasn't gone down yet. The rest of my body is fine." Liang Xian said calmly.

He glanced sideways at his new classmate to see what he wanted to do.

Liang Xian was unexpectedly beautiful, with eyes full of affection, and every look seemed to be seducing.

After Tan Yan confirmed the extent of his injuries, he picked him up and quickly followed the team to run towards the car.

Liang Xian: “…”

Students: “…”

The parking lot was not close, and when Tan Yan picked up Liang Xian, most people only ran one-third of the distance. He quickened his pace and caught up with the vanguard when they were about to reach the parking lot, following closely behind Qiu Qizhen.

Qiu Qizheng: “…”

The scene behind was so beautiful that he didn't dare to look back.

Qiu Qizhen's speed was not top notch. They were the fifth to arrive at the parking lot and only managed to grab an ordinary van. The first SUV had already been driven away.

But it's better than the last car where all four tires disappeared.

Several people got into the car quickly. Qiu Qizheng sat in the driver's seat and started the car. Tan Yan carefully placed Liang Xian on the seat.

Liang Xian: “…”

"You run so fast. If we ignore him, we will grab the best car." Cui Heyu said unhappily, "Wouldn't it be better to wait for him slowly after grabbing the car? That off-road vehicle has been modified and has a machine gun on it, which is a great advantage."

"It's inconvenient for him to walk, and it would be more trouble than good if his injury worsens." Tan Yan replied simply.

"No one allowed him to participate in the training." Cui Heyu muttered.

"Cui Heyu!" Qiu Qizheng shouted, "We are now a team, and Tan Yan is doing the right thing."

Liang Xian didn't care about what Cui Heyu said. There were many people who disliked him, and Cui Heyu was particularly disliked. The two had never gotten along since they were young. He paid more attention to this new classmate. He looked at Tan Yan with his beautiful peach blossom eyes and said, "Tan Yan?"

"Um."

"Transfer student?" Liang Xian asked again.

"yes."

Tan Yan sat next to Liang Xian and took the marching bag from the back row and handed it to Liang Xian.

"Don't divide the packages yet, open each one and see what's inside." Liang Xian said, "Checking the supplies is the most basic thing. The plan should be made around the supplies, and it should be redistributed according to each person's characteristics."

Cui Heyu and Tan Yan opened the bag as they were told. The bag looked big, but it was filled with cotton. After taking out the cotton, they saw the pitiful amount of supplies: three wooden rifles, 100 rounds of bullets, five pistols, three bottles of mineral water, and four loaves of bread.

"Is that all?" Cui Heyu was stunned. "Our military training lasts for a month..."

"This means we can find food locally. Mineral water and bread are emergency food. We can't go out unless it's a critical moment." Liang Xian didn't show any surprise. "If the 'criminals' are extremely vicious, then these weapons are not enough. We also have to consider the camping problem. If we want to sneak in secretly, our camouflage uniforms are not suitable. The conditions are quite difficult..."

"What should we do then?" Qiu Qizhen asked.

"Sergeant, where is our destination? How long will it take to get there?" Liang Xian asked.

"The car navigation shows that it is south of City B and the journey will take another three hours."

South? Tan Yan leaned over and looked at the map. Their destination was very close to Ping County.

It seems that the organization had already considered the problem of the sudden emergence of "voids" before arranging the military training. Tan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I remember there is a small county town nearby. Instead of going directly to our destination, we should turn into this county town first." Liang Xian was talking about Ping County.

"Why? Time waits for no one, and we are already one step behind others." Cui Heyu disagreed.

"Go and gather supplies, at least get some clothes for ordinary people," Liang Xian said, "These things are definitely not enough. The marching bags are so big, we can't carry cotton to carry out the mission. And there's no rush, the last person still has to find a way to install tires, and I don't know if the school has prepared tires for them."

He seemed a little tired. After he finished speaking, he leaned on Tan Yan, closed his eyes and relaxed his body.

Ping County... Tan Yan missed it vaguely. He had never left that small county. When he came to City B with Minister Yu, he thought he would never be able to go back.

There aren't many people who know him, and even if he becomes younger, people might ask if he is Officer Tan's junior.

Officer Tan from Ping County has been buried due to death from overwork.
