After getting up and having breakfast the next day, everyone was called to gather in the open space in the center of the academy. Kong Siyin and the chief instructor stood in the front. After everyone gathered, the chief instructor took out the list and began to call the roll.
"Wang Siqi, Cai Zhuoxi, Feng Chen, Ji Yi, Chen Wenchao, Ding Hongsheng..."
Yan Bubu thought it was a routine roll call, but the chief instructor only called out the names of some of the sentries and guides before putting away the list.
Feng Chen, Cai Tao and others were all on the list, but his and Wang Suizi's names were not there.
Kong Siyin, who had been silent the whole time, spoke slowly: "As everyone knows, Chen Liuwei from the first sentry squad is missing. The army set out last night and searched the desert and mountains all night, but didn't see him. The resettlement site is still being built, and there are many mutants. The army doesn't have that many people, so we have to look for him ourselves today."
His gaze passed through the lenses and across the faces of each student: "Chen Liuwei is a student of our academy. We must do our best to find him. But the most important thing is to ensure your own safety while searching for him. I don't want other students to get into trouble after one student goes missing."
"Today we are going to search the mountains. After we are dismissed, the students on the list will set out into the mountains. The other students who stay behind will also have a difficult task. They will be responsible for the safety of the mines to prevent mutant invasions."
"yes!"
"Yes, sir!"
Kong Siyin didn't say anything else, and the chief instructor began to read out the team list of personnel for this operation.
"The first team, Feng Chen, Sun Cheng, Chen Wenchao, Ji Yi, Ding Hongsheng, Cai Tao, Feng Chen is the team leader. The second team, Lu Feike, Chen Qian..."
After reading the list, the chief instructor took out an enlarged photo of a young sentry in a cadet uniform.
"This is Chen Liuwei. Anyone who goes to search for him should remember his appearance."
The students dispersed, and those who were going into the mountains hurried to the supply warehouse to pick up their equipment and guns. Feng Chen strode towards the supply warehouse, and Yan Bubu trotted beside him, constantly giving him instructions.
"Take Binunu and Sasaka with you. There are a lot of rocks on Yinxia Mountain. Walk slowly when it's dark. The temperature in the mountains should be much lower than here. Do you want to put on more clothes? Oh... I want to go too. I'll go talk to the chief instructor."
Feng Chen said: "Since the chief instructor asked you to stay, he must have his reasons. Just build the house in the camp and let me see the roof when I come back to sleep. By the way, you still have to deal with those mutants and guard the camp."
Yan Bubu wanted to fight for it: "I'm afraid you'll get into danger in the mountains, and no one will be able to help you sort out your spiritual realm—"
"What are the words posted at the entrance of the second floor stairs of the teaching building?" Feng Chen suddenly stopped and asked loudly.
The instructor often shouted this before class or before leaving the classroom. Yan Bubu also developed a conditioned reflex. He stood up straight and shouted back loudly: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders and it is his honor to defend the country!"
"It is a soldier's duty to obey orders and it is his honor to defend the country!"
At the same time, two identical voices were heard nearby. They were two sentries who happened to be passing by, and they stood up straight like Yan Bubu, their heels clicking against each other.
When the two sentinels realized something was wrong, they immediately booed, "You can't play it like this."
