Get down, right now!
A group of Old Soldiers rushed over in a hurry.
Lin Hui saw the situation was bad and immediately jumped down from above.
"Recruit bastards!" The black-faced Squad Leader roared, "Who told you to go up there? Get over there and assemble!"
Lin Hui shrugged and went to assemble with everyone else.
Zhang Jiantao rushed up to Lin Hui angrily, "Who told you to go up there? Do you know what this main battle tank behind you means? It means courage, tenacity, glory, it's the symbol of our 602nd Division!"
Lin Hui said seriously, "Company Commander, since it's a symbol, I must go up and feel it myself. To be honest, the moment I went up, I felt as if the wind was roaring, the horses were neighing..."
"And I'm the Yellow River roaring, look at you showing off."
Wang Yong rolled his eyes directly.
Lin Hui continued, "Leader, I have a request. I want to take a photo with the tank and then put the photo by my bed to feel this glory at all times!"
"Me too, me too!"
Chen Erhu quickly raised his hand, "Company Commander, I want to take a few more photos to send back to the village, for my Dad, my Mom, Uncle, Uncle Two..."
"Shut up!"
Zhang Jiantao was so angry he glared at him fiercely.
The Recruits who were just laughing and fooling around instantly quieted down.
Anyone could see that this Company Commander was truly angry.
Zhang Jiantao stared intently at Lin Hui, "What's your name?"
Lin Hui roared, "Report, my name is Lin Hui!"
In the Military Region, you have to speak with full energy, preferably until your throat is hoarse.
This was taught by my Old Dad when I was a child.
Don't ask why, everyone does it anyway.
Lin Hui?
Zhang Jiantao felt the name sounded a bit familiar.
Didn't the Old Fellow at the recruitment office say that the kid who didn't even participate in the physical examination but was squeezed in was named Lin Hui?
Damn it, it really is you, you little bastard!
He sneered and stepped back two paces, shouting at everyone, "This is the Military Region, not society, not a place where you can do whatever you want! Here, everything must follow discipline! So, to make you remember, everyone run five kilometers around the training ground!"
The Recruits' faces immediately turned ugly, and they all turned their gaze towards Lin Hui.
Why should he make a mistake and everyone else pays?
Wang Yong said loudly, "I object!"
"Object to what?"
"He clearly made the mistake, what does it have to do with us?"
Before Zhang Jiantao could speak, Instructor Wang Hai smiled and said, "The Military Region is a collective, a big family. From the moment you enter, you are already comrades. Now, your comrade has made a mistake, shouldn't you help bear it together?"
"This is called collective honor, and it's your first lesson here."
Zhang Jiantao said coldly, "One person makes a mistake, the collective is punished, this is the rule! If you don't want to run, you can go back now!"
Lin Hui's expression changed slightly.
He knew this was a show of force.
Even if he didn't make a mistake, this five kilometers wouldn't be avoided.
It's just that his current body had long been hollowed out by alcohol and women. Let alone five kilometers, even running five hundred meters was difficult.
If he couldn't finish the run, he'd have to go back as soon as he arrived. Could his own Old Dad spare him then?
Just then, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Lin Hui's mind.
"Ding, congratulations Host, you have successfully bound the Learn to Become Stronger System."
"Regardless of military skills or theoretical knowledge, the Host's learning and absorption ability is a hundred times that of ordinary people. As long as you keep learning, you can stand at the Peak."
"First binding, reward body function enhancement, physical fitness reaches Old Soldier standard."
Lin Hui instantly felt a warmth in his body.
Then he suddenly discovered that his originally weak body had become full of energy, with inexhaustible strength.
"What are you all standing around for? Do you all want to go back?"
Zhang Jiantao roared, and only then did everyone reluctantly and sparsely run towards the training ground.
"It's all your damn fault! If it weren't for you, nothing would have happened!"
Wang Yong glared at Lin Hui and said unhappily.
Lin Hui didn't even bother to pay attention to him.
The five kilometers couldn't be avoided anyway; he was just being made an example of.
The more Lin Hui thought about it, the more annoyed he became: Damn it, I was planning to just coast along for two years, but this guy targeted me as soon as I arrived!
But with the System in hand, it won't be so easy to find trouble with me.
He chuckled and rushed towards the training ground with the crowd.
Not far away, Zhang Jiantao looked at the Recruits' sorry state and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Wang Hai frowned, "Old Zhang, aren't we going a bit overboard like this? These Recruits are all spoiled at home, and their physical strength is very poor. You start with five kilometers; I estimate many people's bodies won't be able to handle it. Shouldn't we go step by step and give them some time to adapt?"
Zhang Jiantao said seriously, "The Military Region doesn't have that much time for them to adapt. Since they chose to be Soldiers, they must have the awareness to endure hardship!"
"If war comes now, they won't have time to adapt; they'll have to go straight to the battlefield!"
Wang Hai suddenly smiled slightly, "Could it be... you're targeting that Soldier named Lin Hui?"
Zhang Jiantao pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, you got it, you saw right through my little thoughts."
He snorted coldly, "That's right, I'm targeting this kid. I hate those who come in through the back door the most!"
"No wonder he looks sickly, as if a gust of wind could blow him over. I was wondering how this kid passed the physical examination."
Wang Hai looked at Zhang Jiantao and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"Make him scram!"
"We have the handle; it's a fact that this kid came in through the back door!"
"As long as he fails multiple performance metrics, I can find a reason to send him back to the local area. The Military Region is for fighting wars, not for building connections or opening back doors. 602 absolutely cannot tolerate a single rat dropping spoiling the whole pot of soup!"
Wang Hai looked at the training ground and sighed, "Should we give him a chance? Maybe..."
Zhang Jiantao raised his hand to interrupt, "We're not nannies, and certainly not Old Moms. Why should we spoil him?"
Wang Hai sighed, his face full of helplessness.
It seems the Company Commander is determined to get rid of this kid.
...
On the training ground, the team was spread out.
After two laps, many people started running out of breath.
Lin Hui, however, ran very easily!
His physical fitness had been raised to the Old Soldier level. Five kilometers was a piece of cake for him.
He chuckled foolishly, "With this physical fitness, when I retire and go back, won't I be extremely happy every day?"
Although he had strength, Lin Hui wasn't stupid either.
His goal was to lie low safely for two years.
Even with the System, he absolutely couldn't be the first to stand out.
Coming from a Military Region family, he knew very well how much suffering it would be to be a top performer in the Military Region.
It's better to preserve strength, accumulate power, and then spend it all on pretty young ladies after leaving.
Two laps, three laps...
Gradually, some people ran out of strength and started to fall behind.
Lin Hui was mixed in, occasionally wiping sweat, pretending to be unable to run anymore.
But he always stayed with the team, showing no signs of falling behind at all.
Seeing that five kilometers was almost reached and Lin Hui was still running, Zhang Jiantao's brows were already tightly furrowed.
Wang Hai laughed heartily, "Old Zhang, your wishful thinking isn't working anymore. Although this kid looks frail, his willpower is quite good; he actually persevered."
Zhang Jiantao's mouth twitched.
Shouldn't be?
Looking at this physical fitness, he looked like he'd collapse after five hundred meters!
Could it be that he really misjudged him?
But he immediately denied it, "He's just toughing it out, but even if he can tough it out this time, can he tough it out forever?"
Wang Hai shrugged and didn't want to say anything more.
Soon, the Recruits finished running five kilometers and came back panting heavily.
"Oh, I'm exhausted, half my life is gone..."
Lin Hui's act was incredibly convincing, yet not a single drop of sweat could be seen on his forehead.
Zhang Jiantao was unhappy inside, but there was nothing he could do.
Next time you mess up, I can still get rid of you!
He gave the Recruits one minute to rest before gathering the team, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang Jiantao, and I will be the Company Commander for this New Recruit Company. The person next to me is your Instructor, Wang Hai!"
"Hello everyone."
Wang Hai saluted the Recruits.
Zhang Jiantao said loudly, "First of all, on behalf of 602, I welcome you. I don't care what you did in society before, or what your family background is. Here, you have only one identity, and that is Soldier. In the Military Region, all actions listen to command, and you must ensure that orders are followed immediately and prohibitions are strictly observed!"
"If anyone wants to be a troublemaker, disobeys orders, or seriously falls behind in various training results later on, I will send you back anytime, anywhere!"
Chen Erhu was so scared he quickly straightened his body.
Oh Mom, I have to be sent back?
I can't be sent back!
Lin Hui saw Chen Erhu's reaction and thought this guy was hilariously stupid.
Because he knew Zhang Jiantao's words were meant for him.
The Military Region is most taboo about using back doors.
Last night he was still in a bar, and today he came to be a Soldier.
Zhang Jiantao targeting him like this clearly meant he already knew he was the one who came in through the back door.
Lin Hui chuckled, "I'm definitely being a Soldier. Even if the King of Heaven comes, don't even think about chasing me away!"
Zhang Jiantao shouted loudly, "Now, dormitory assignments! Everyone, right face..."
