He is two meters and five centimeters tall. Who made him a soldier?

"I've written down your name! I'll be the first one to report to you when the time comes!"

"You are destined to surpass your brother and become the new legend of our trip."

The approval in Zhou You's eyes was almost overflowing. If it weren't for the fact that the recruit training hadn't ended yet, he would have wanted to be taken directly to the Special Operations Brigade by Lu Qinglong this time.

"Second place, nine minutes and fifty seconds!"

The veteran non-commissioned officer in charge of reporting the results shouted again.

Zhou You also turned around, wrote down Xue Daochao's name, and nodded at him.

He is also a very good seedling. He can run in the nine-minute queue before he even joins the company. When he joins the company, he will practice harder and his performance will be improved even further!
"Third place, ten minutes and five seconds."

Compared with Lu Qinglong and Xue Daochao, Ji Baichang's performance is somewhat mediocre in comparison.

But compared with the subsequent recruits, it is also quite good.

Later, the new recruits all crossed the key line, and finally the line for the top 20 came out. Those who finished three kilometers within 11 minutes and ten seconds were the top 20.

As for the new recruits who were still running, Zhou You simply told them to stop and gather in the open space in the middle.

Zhou You wrote down the names of the remaining top 20 runners on his own piece of paper in the order of their final running results.

"Strictly speaking, you have been eliminated."

"However, our special operations brigade will not let go of a recruit who is ambitious, motivated, and feels that his or her talents are not recognized."

"Does anyone among you have any special talents?"

Standing in front of this group of eliminated recruits, Zhou You asked sternly.

If there is someone among them who practices sports or graduates from a martial arts school and has a special skill, he will make an exception and write his name on the list.

Anyway, there are a lot of places this year, so there is nothing wrong in writing a few more names.

After Zhou You asked, the new recruits looked at each other hesitantly. After a while, several new recruits raised their hands one after another to express their specialties.

As usual, Zhou You wrote down the names of some recruits who had special skills that he thought would be useful, then waved his hand and announced the dismissal.

At this point, all the new recruits in the First Battalion who want to join the Special Operations Brigade have completed this most basic assessment.

"How are you? The three of you! Have you all been selected?"

As soon as the three of them returned to the classroom, the other recruits in the class immediately came forward and asked impatiently.

"Of course! It's a piece of cake!"

"The lieutenant who was invigilating our exam was the first to remember our three names. We passed without a doubt!"

Ji Baichang waved his hand in a very cocky manner. He looked so relaxed, completely different from when he had just finished performing the special forces dance.

"Wow! All three of you made it through! That's amazing!"

The other recruits around couldn't help but envy Ji Baichang.

As new recruits brought up by Chen Ting, they more or less wanted to go to the special operations brigade and become special forces soldiers, but unfortunately their physical fitness was really not as good as the three of them, and they didn't know if there would be similar opportunities in the future.

“It’s quite simple!”

"Everyone, to celebrate my admission into the Special Operations Brigade, I'm treating you this afternoon! Feel free to take anything from the service center outside!"

Ji Bai waved his hand, and the regrets of the recruits disappeared immediately, with smiles on their faces:

"Awesome! Boss Ji is so generous!"

"Then you have to spend a lot! Boss Ji will pay for all the expenses!"

In the afternoon, the instructor distributed cell phones to all the recruits as he wished. The recruits had a great time bragging with their family members and friends about the special operations brigade's selection today.

Special Operations Brigade
"Captain, I'm back!"

"I have selected all ten recruit camps. This is the list of recruits I selected."

Zhou You compiled a table that ranked the recruits according to their performance in the three-kilometer test. Lu Qinglong's name was at the top, followed by the words "nine minutes exactly".

"You've worked hard. It's getting late. You should go back and rest early."

The battalion commander patted Zhou You on the shoulder and took the form from his hand.

His eyes rested on the first name on the form.

"Lu Qinglong? He has some of your previous demeanor."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou You opened the door of his office and walked out.

His eyes finally fell on a photo frame on the bookshelf.

The photo frame shows a photo of two men with the Potala Palace in the background.

One of them was the battalion commander in front of him, and the other one grinned with a sunny and cheerful smile and put his left hand around his shoulder.

A week has passed since the special operations brigade started selecting soldiers, and all the new recruits only have one week left before they are assigned to companies.

This group of new recruits has undergone a drastic change compared to when they first arrived at the army.

Basically, everyone is very obedient and can understand the commands of veterans and squad leaders.

During the last week, their originally strict daily routine gradually became more relaxed. They could sleep until six in the morning, without having to get up an hour earlier to fold the quilt.

You can go to bed and take a nap at noon, and you don’t have to do three hundred things at night. You can brag when you need to brag and chat when you need to chat.

It can be said that except for not being issued mobile phones, their treatment is no different from that of other veterans.

The new recruits, who had already adapted to the new job, didn't want to go to the next company after this happened. They all wanted to stay in the new recruit company.

Of course, they are just thinking about it.

After this group of new recruits were assigned to their companies, the remaining veterans in the recruit company also returned to their respective units. Even though the recruit company was completely over, it would only remain in their memories forever.

"Go! There's only one kilometer left! Sprint! We'll be at the finish line soon!"

On the playground, Lu Qinglong, carrying a bag weighing 300 kilograms, cheered and encouraged the two people behind him who were also carrying bulging bags.

However, the bags of Xue Daochao and Ji Baichang behind him were filled with things needed for a normal five-kilometer armed march, while Lu Qinglong's bag was filled with barbell plates.

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

Xue Daochao and Ji Baichang no longer had the strength to open their mouths to speak. All their strength was put into running this last lap.

Ji Baichang's condition was even worse. He was almost exhausted and was only able to hold on with his last bit of strength.

“Go, go, go! The finish line is just ahead!”

As the finish line got closer, after all three of them crossed the finish line, Chen Ting, who had been standing in front of the finish line, finally pressed the stop button.

The result of the last person in the armed five-kilometer race is Ji Baichang's:

Eighteen minutes and fifty seconds.

"There is progress, but not much. I still need to practice."

Chen Ting shook his head and asked the three of them to simply stretch their muscles on the spot. After stretching, they went back to the company directly.

After squad leader Chen Ting left, Ji Baichang collapsed on the ground in a completely ungraceful manner, gasping for breath like a pug.

Good boy! He ran 5 kilometers and his lungs felt like they were going to explode.

Since passing the selection for the special operations brigade, the other recruits have begun to indulge themselves and become lazy.

But the nightmare of the three of them came. On average, they had to complete at least three armed five-kilometer runs every day. His knees ached slightly from running, which was in stark contrast to the other recruits.

"I won the resurrection match and resurrected with full health!"

After resting for a while, Ji Baichang forced himself to stand up from the ground and waved his arms hard. Although his body was very tired, the expression on his face was full of energy.

There is naturally a reason why I have been so tired during this period.

Because squad leader Chen Ting said that his current physical fitness is too weak, even inferior to many veterans in the brigade. Once he goes to the west, he will definitely suffer from altitude sickness due to the altitude there.

By then, let alone going on the field to fight with the White Elephant’s men, I’m afraid it would be difficult for them to even walk, so we have to start targeted training.

Previously, Chen Ting wanted them to wear chemical protective suits and run an armed five-kilometer race, but apparently considering the need to proceed step by step, he did not make such a requirement. Ji Baichang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He couldn't even imagine it. Wearing that airtight chemical protective suit, it was already very uncomfortable to even walk and breathe, let alone run!

This is simply amazing!
"Come on! Let's work together! You can do it!"

"Although your starting point is very low, I believe that with your hard work, you will be able to catch up with me."

Lu Qinglong reached out and patted Ji Baichang on the shoulder.

The terrifying force knocked Ji Baichang, whose already weak legs were already, to the ground.

"hiss!"

"Qinglong, be gentle! Help me up."

"Oh, okay."

The three of them supported each other.

No, it should be said that Lu Qinglong was walking in front, and behind him, Xue Daochao was supporting Ji Baichang and walking towards the company with difficulty.

The three men returned to the company and skillfully went to the washroom to take a shower.

There were other recruits in the washroom, but when they saw the three old men coming back, they quickly gave up their seats.

Now the whole company is saying that the three of them are veterans of the Special Operations Brigade, and that their squad leader Chen Ting is also a veteran of the Special Operations Brigade, so no one would be so blind as to provoke them.

Not to mention that when Lu Qinglong stood there, no one dared to say "no" to him.

After washing up, the three of them lay back on their beds and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, all the recruits changed into army uniforms without any insignia or symbols and lined up neatly at the entrance of the battalion headquarters.

At the gate of the battalion headquarters, there was not only the first company, but also four other companies.

No matter they were new soldiers or old soldiers or company supervisors, they were all neatly dressed in their army uniforms.

Among them, Chen Ting, as a veteran with 16 years of service, has two more rows of service badges on his left chest than the battalion commander standing in the center!
