There was a loud chirping in his ears, as if he was sitting in an open-air coffee house in an airport. The deafening noises launched a deadly attack one after another. Renly waved his hand subconsciously, trying to drive away the irritability, but found that The muscles were so stiff that they couldn't move at all, which made him panic. But no matter how hard he tried and how hard he struggled, he remained motionless, not even a little finger could move, as if it was a ghost pressing on the bed.
"Get up! Assemble!"
The thunderous sound exploded in his ears, and Ren Li sat up straight, his eyes opened slightly, and the dazzling light penetrated in, making his pupils hurt. He closed his eyes forcefully, and when he opened them again, he finally got used to the light. Several soldiers appeared in front of them. They rudely lifted everyone's sheets and shouted, "Assemble! Assembly!"
Before they could come, Renly got out of bed quickly, the pain in his thighs and arms almost suffocated him, he gritted his teeth so hard that he didn't shout, put on his socks as quickly as possible, thought about it, simply Put on both pairs of socks so there is at least a little less friction, then put on your boots and scramble to your feet.
Looking back, Lamy was also putting on his shoes at this time, and James on the other side had also stood up, but two huge suitcases occupied the aisle, so that his standing up was a bit funny. James and Renly exchanged glances, and he gave a helpless smile, "I don't think I can last until the last day."
Renly couldn't help but smile, "This is only the first day."
A few people quickly stepped out of the barracks. The slogans in their ears became more and more severe and fierce. There was no sign of relaxation. Renly only had time to scan with the corner of his eyes. Richard was like A real corpse lay on the bed without any movement. However, Renly didn't have the time or energy to pay attention to the others at this time, so he looked away and ran out quickly.
The world outside is still dark, and the stars are scattered all over the sky, and the coldness is so cold that people can't help shivering.
It should have been around two or three in the morning, not at six in the morning as predicted, Renly couldn't help thinking of Tim's advice. Sure enough, Tim was not talking about the next nine-day itinerary. The first day was not over at all, and the long first day seemed to have no end in sight.
A four-mile trail run with weights.
At three o'clock in the morning, he started a four-mile trail run with weights, and he didn't even know whether he was carrying a gun or a rock in his backpack, and even the water bottle he carried with him felt like a burden - but fortunately he kept a little sane, no He really threw the water bottle. Of course, he always felt that it was because he didn't even have the strength to throw the water bottle.
I don't know if it's because the muscles have been completely numb and lost the pain, or because after the previous training, he has begun to get used to this kind of intensity, and his thoughts begin to slowly restart.
Renly knew that what they were going through was nothing more than a drizzle compared to the soldiers who actually went through the war, even for a ten-day boot camp, and it was just the beginning; but he couldn't help thinking. Afterwards, after Eugene walked into the battlefield with blood in his arms, when he saw the inhuman hell on earth, was the shock of his soul like this: from shock to nausea, to fear, to numbness, and finally to loss.
It was as if he had just seen Richard.
Leaving aside the little skirmishes between him and Richard, after his mental exhaustion reached its peak, he gradually began to lose the ability to feel his surroundings. Perhaps, the only thing he lost at first was fear, like a forensic doctor or a doctor. Just like the police/police officer, he has become accustomed to death because he has been in contact with death a lot; but slowly, those emotions that define human nature also begin to disappear. Become indifferent, become indifferent, become natural.
Renly remembers a scene from "The Pacific War" vividly: Eugene prys open the dead man's mouth and digs out the gold teeth in the mouth of the Japanese soldier.
"Devouring the Starry Sky: Sign In to God"
Before that, Eugene had always refused this kind of behavior, and even felt nauseated and painful, which violated his belief: the dead are dead, at least give the dead enough respect, there is no need to show the most humble and humble in human nature for a little bit of gold. The most greedy and ugliest look. This also caused him to reject the indifferent Meryl Sheldon at the very beginning, and the relationship between the two was far from friendly.
However, on that day, Eugene's world finally collapsed. After the Japanese soldiers used civilian pregnant women as human flesh bombs, he seemed to have lost his mind, recklessly trying to pry open a corpse that had been dead for a long time and its flesh and blood began to rot, The gold teeth inside were dug out. The madness and paranoia at that moment were completely out of control.
At this moment, Renly felt Eugene's inner struggle and collapse for the first time, as if his soul had been forcibly torn apart. However, this is just a small feeling, which is difficult to describe accurately in words, or, in other words, people who have not really experienced the battlefield cannot really experience the despair of disintegration. How painful is this transformation? , The surface is calm but you can't see the vicissitudes of life in the heart. My heart felt a little heavy.
Renly couldn't help thinking of Tim, maybe, they could be friends, they could communicate. Tim can help him gain insight into the realities of those battlefields, as opposed to the realities of books and movies.
Looking at Rami and James who are standing side by side, unconsciously, they have become each other's partners. James grinned and panted, "I know I'm attractive, but I'm not interested in men." That joke made both Renly and Rami burst into laughter, and even a small circle beside them. Everyone laughed lightly, and another person behind him jokingly said, "Unfortunately, men are not interested in you either." This time, everyone burst into laughter.
Apart from introducing themselves, they didn't have time to talk at all, but the familiarity between them slowly spread in the air.
At least one thing, Renly was right. The boot camp was just the beginning. After the four-mile trail run with weights, they only got a two-hour break before they started training again. Renly didn't even remember what he had for breakfast. Gobbling it into his mouth.
During the meal, Renly heard that there was no dinner in the entire camp last night, and everyone slept hungry all night. Renly originally thought he was the only unlucky bastard, because he fell asleep and missed dinner, but after hearing the news, he regained his mental balance, "At least I had a good night's sleep last night."
James, who was sitting opposite, rolled his eyes to the back of his forehead.
The training on the second day was still long. In addition to the previous basic training, they also conducted simulation training on the real battlefield - just like a field game with a paintball gun, except that they did not have a paintball gun, but It's a blank bullet, and although it won't hurt after hitting it, the impact force like a heavy hammer is enough to make people fall.
What is even more terrifying is that because it was the first time for actual combat training, not only did everyone not have a tacit understanding, they formed their own formations, and there was no tactic to speak of. Facing the enemy team composed of real soldiers, it took less than fifteen minutes. The entire army was annihilated, and only two of the opponents were wounded.
Before the start of the second round of training, the leading lieutenant officially gave them a tactical explanation, including analyzing the terrain, analyzing the enemy formation, and the allocation of guns and ammunition. Everyone cooperated according to their positions in the episode. This round of training still ended in the annihilation of the entire cast, but they persisted for thirty-five minutes and successfully knocked down three people from the opposing camp.
This is an improvement, albeit a very slight one.
In the evening, after finishing the 800-meter obstacle course training, they could finally get a break. Since entering the camp yesterday, there has been almost no peaceful rest within 24 hours, so most of the actors believe that there should be no training tonight. But Renly has reservations about it.
Three hours later, the people of the No. 3 barracks were scattered and scattered in a dilapidated ruin, surrounded by wilderness. They had just marched all the way through the dark night, not knowing the direction or the time. There is nothing to tell the direction except a compass.
The lieutenant explained that the night attack would be launched in forty-five minutes.
Renly couldn't help pulling his jacket, but it didn't work at all. The ruins were full of wind holes, looking like a sieve. The biting cold wind was everywhere, so he wore a pair of underwear, a shirt and A coat can't stand the cold at all, but it's absurd that it's only July, how ironic.
He turned his head and looked at Rami, who was huddled in the corner. He held his rucksack in his arms and curled up like a koala to keep warm as much as possible; James, who was sitting next to him, was not much better. He took off his socks and put them on his hands like gloves, studying how to tuck his hands into the cuffs.
Renly shook his head speechlessly, then took off his boots, took off a pair of socks, and handed them over. Seeing James' puzzled eyes, he explained, "I wore two pairs of socks when I set off."
James immediately widened his eyes in surprise, and the expression in the moonlight looked a bit funny, "Man, you are really my savior."
"Two cigarettes," Renly said, looking at James' outstretched hand, pulling his socks back for a while. On the real battlefield, it is normal for comrades to help each other, and the only thing they can circulate is cigarettes, which is a luxury. Now, Renly had brought that habit with him too.
James gritted his teeth, snatched the pair of socks, and stuffed one into Rami's arms, "A cigarette." Then he rolled up the remaining socks and stuffed it into his rucksack. , and finally stuffed his feet directly into it, it looked so funny that even Rami couldn't help but look up.
In the cold wind, they were like dead leaves hanging on the branches at the end of autumn, shivering but still reluctant to fall. This is indeed a bit of a real battlefield feeling.
