When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 49 I'm a recruit too!
"I promised to show her the bullet, and I failed because of you. And you're saying it has nothing to do with you?"

In response to Xu Ge's question, Qi Ruibiao said angrily.

"are you crazy!"

Xu Ge was furious. "Next time your girlfriend wants to see Dongfeng nuclear warheads, are you going to go and confront the military again?"

Qi Ruibiao gritted his teeth: "We've already broken up, there won't be a next time! This is all your fault! You have to pay the price..."

"What price do you want Xu Ge to pay?"

Du Hu suddenly sat up in bed. "Qi Ruibiao, you're still trying to retaliate, aren't you?"

"I'm the one who intercepted the bullet from Li Dongshui's hand. Now tell me, how do you plan to make me pay the price?"

Qi Ruibiao turned around and prepared to get into bed: "It's nothing, I was just joking."

"Did I say you could leave? Get over here!"

Suddenly, Du Hu shouted, waking everyone in the dormitory.

"Give me your phone too!"

Qi Ruibiao froze on the spot.

Seeing that the other party did not move, Du Hu's voice turned cold: "Didn't you hear me?"

"Ah Biao, hurry up and go, don't provoke the squad leader to start a crackdown!" Zhou Meng, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, whispered.

Qi Ruibiao hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone from under his pillow and handed it to Du Hu at his bedside.

Du Hu took the phone: "Squat down!"

Qi Ruibiao didn't say anything, and silently squatted down.

The other recruits were all awake, lying quietly in their beds watching the situation, each hoping that their squad leader wouldn't start messing with them again because of this.

The little dog calmed down again and lay down on Xu Ge's bedside, wagging its tail.

"It seems you've been living too comfortably while I was away on business."

Du Hu lit a cigarette, and in the sudden flash of light, his face turned ashen. "If you don't want to sleep, then you'll stay here until dawn!"

Qi Ruibiao remained silent, seemingly resisting something through his silence.

"Also, starting tomorrow, everyone must hand in their phones before going to bed! As for you, Qi Ruibiao, don't even think about getting your phone back before you go to your unit!"

"Why?!"

Qi Ruibiao jumped to his feet, clearly indicating that Du Hu's words had a significant impact on him.

"What right do you have to confiscate my personal belongings?"

"Who told you to get up? Squat down right now!"

Du Hu straightened up, making a move to get out of bed. "What, you want to go head-to-head with me?"

Qi Ruibiao's sudden standing up made the new recruits, including Xu Ge, curse inwardly. Was this guy really going to completely piss off their squad leader?
"I just want to know why!" Qi Ruibiao decided to throw caution to the wind and raised his voice.

Xu Ge sensed a noise coming from the upper bunk; it seemed that Kaiyoumu had also been disturbed.

"Why should I? Because I'm your squad leader, because you're one of my soldiers!"

"So what if you're the squad leader? I came here to be a soldier, not a slave. Why should your word be law?"

Du Hu got out of bed and stood in front of Qi Ruibiao: "Say it again?"

"What's wrong with me saying it again? Which of us new recruits isn't loved by our parents at home? Why should we come here to be insulted by you?"

Qi Ruibiao's voice was agitated, "I'm not going to squat down today, what can you do to me?"

"You think I won't dare to lay a hand on you?" "Then try it! So many eyes are watching. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I'll immediately report you for abusing or physically punishing me..."

Bang!
Xu Ge suddenly felt the bed frame shake violently, and then he saw a shadow fly down from above.

Bang!
Boom!
Before Qi Ruibiao could finish speaking, he was suddenly kicked away and slammed heavily against the door, unable to get up for a long time.

"Hah! Ptooey! You're disturbing my sleep!"

Kaiyumu twisted his shoulders and neck, slowly straightening his body.
"Didn't you say that squad leaders can't hit, scold, or physically punish new recruits? I'm a new recruit too, and neither of us has been awarded ranks yet. Go ahead and report me!"

The entire dormitory was deathly quiet.

. . .

. . .

Since Kaiyoumu made his move that night, Qi Ruibiao was called in for talks by the platoon leader, company commander, and political instructor at each level, and he himself became much more obedient and well-behaved.

After spending so much time together, everyone knows that this guy is definitely not convinced, but there's nothing they can do. Kaiyuki is like a bug to him.

Du Hu was alright; he didn't deliberately suppress or isolate Qi Ruibiao, but naturally, he didn't have any expectations for this soldier.

On the last day of the holiday, after dinner, Qi Ruibiao approached Du Hu and Xu Ge separately to apologize, his attitude very sincere.

Du Hu didn't react at all, not even a smile.

Xu Ge was somewhat surprised. He remembered the look of hatred in Qi Ruibiao's eyes that night and wondered if the other party was genuinely apologizing or just putting on an act.

However, since the other party took the initiative to contact him, Xu Ge expressed his forgiveness, after all, they were comrades-in-arms from the same class.

"I've already thought it through. I'm going to perform well from now on and try to come back in two years completely transformed!" Qi Ruibiao's voice was not quiet. He seemed to be talking to Xu Ge, but he was actually speaking to Du Hu.

"Xu Ge, you've done well in training, so you'll have to help me improve in the future!"

"You're not bad either. You were in the top ten in the company last time, weren't you? Let's keep up the good work together," Xu Ge said politely.

Li Dongshui came over carrying Xiao Siquan: "Xu Ge, it's time to take Baihu to the toilet, and give it a bath while you're at it."

"Row!"

The two took the shower gel and washbasin and brought the little dog to the bathroom.

Xu Ge filled the basin with warm water and threw the little dog into it to start making bubbles. The little guy cooperated well, lying comfortably against the edge of the basin without moving.

"Xu Ge, you need to be careful of Qi Ruibiao," Li Dongshui suddenly whispered.

Xu Ge was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

“One night when I went to the toilet, I found Qi Ruibiao hiding in the toilet smoking, so I chatted with him for a few minutes.”

Li Dongshui scratched at Xiao Siquan and continued, "He said back then that you were the one who caused him to break up with his girlfriend, and he would never let you get away with it!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ge felt a surge of inexplicable anger and said irritably, "So what does he want? To strangle me while I'm sleeping?"

"I don't know, he didn't say, but I just saw him apologize to you, he's definitely not convinced. Anyway, just be more careful in the future."

After giving the puppy a bath, the two returned to their dormitory and found that no one else in the class was there except for Du Hu and Kai Youmu.

"Squad leader, where are the others?" Li Dongshui asked curiously.

Du Hu took the little dog from him: "They've all gone to buy elbow and knee pads, you can go buy some too if you want."

"Elbow and knee pads? Why would I buy these?" Xu Ge asked, puzzled.

At this moment, Kaiyu took out two old knee pads from the cabinet and said, "We're going to do tactical crawling, so if you're not afraid of the pain, you don't have to buy them."
