Chapter 89 is exactly the same!
It was almost 8 p.m., and the town was becoming increasingly lively.

The old man parked his car in front of a Northeastern Chinese restaurant with practiced ease, went inside, and started ordering wildly from the menu on the wall.

Everyone was hungry, so they quickly found a place to sit down. Luo Shan then started calling instructor Huang Jiabo to report the situation.

Before long, the food was served.

I have to say, Lao Lian still knows his food. He ordered several signature Northeastern dishes and also a large plate of salmon.

You should know that this is a rare item here; I heard it only arrived this afternoon.

"eat!"

The old man waved his hand, indicating that everyone should be polite, but he himself asked the boss to fry a bowl of egg fried rice and left it there untouched.

Seeing that Lao Lian wasn't touching his chopsticks, Xu Ge took the initiative to pick up a large piece of sweet and sour pork and put it in Lao Lian's bowl, but Lao Lian stopped him.

Luo Shan was also a little surprised: "Why aren't you eating?"

The old man reached out and touched the fried rice: "Hot."

Seeing that their old friend wouldn't eat, Xu Ge and the other three felt embarrassed and put down their chopsticks to wait.

After sitting for a while, once he made sure the bowl of fried rice had cooled down, he got up and went to the refrigerator at the restaurant counter to get two cartons of yogurt, a box of ice cream, and a pack of biscuits.

The four were puzzled, wondering what he was up to.

You ordered the food, so why are you going to get snacks now?
A few seconds later, all four were speechless, stunned by Lao Lian's actions.

The old man opened both cartons of yogurt, poured one directly onto the fried rice, then crushed the ice cream and cookies into the bowl, and started stirring.

Snort!

The old man shoveled a large mouthful of the indescribably colored bibimbap and let out a satisfied sigh.

Xu Ge and the other three looked at each other in bewilderment; it was the first time they had ever seen anyone eat like that.

“Is this delicious?”

Seeing the satisfied expression on the old man's face, Li Dongshui couldn't help but ask.

"it is good!"

The old man nodded affirmatively, then picked up a piece of salmon with his chopsticks and dipped it into another carton of yogurt. After dipping it a few times, he put it in his mouth and chewed it heartily.

Li Dongshui suddenly felt that the braised pork ribs in her bowl didn't taste so good anymore, and looked longingly at the yogurt in front of her old face: "Can I try some?"

"Ok!"

Old Lian pushed the yogurt towards Li Dongshui, and seeing that the other was about to use the chopsticks that had been used to pick up ribs to pick up salmon, he immediately stopped him and handed him a pair that had not been used.

Xu Ge was stunned. He couldn't believe that this old man with his stubble and unshaven face was so particular about his food!

"Huh? Wow! It's delicious!"

Li Dongshui imitated Lao Lian's manner and ate a piece of salmon, his eyes immediately lighting up.

Upon seeing that he had met a kindred spirit, Lao Lian immediately took out a spoon and gave Li Dongshui a spoonful of sweet and salty fried rice mixed with yogurt ice cream and crushed biscuits, gesturing for him to try it.

Li Dongshui immediately fed it to her mouth, chewed it a few times, and nodded vigorously: "Mmm! Delicious!"

Old Man's face lit up with amusement as he looked at the other three: "Try?"

Kaiyu put down his chopsticks: "Really? I want to see if it's really that delicious!"

After saying that, he got up and went to the front desk to ask for a carton of yogurt. He opened it, picked up a piece of salmon, dipped it in the yogurt, and put it in his mouth.

Xu Ge and Luo Shan immediately looked over.

"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" Kaiyu nodded vigorously as he chewed.

Luo Shan became interested, picked up a piece of yogurt, put it in his mouth, and after a couple of bites, he gave Xu Ge a thumbs up and nodded repeatedly.

Xu Ge felt relieved, picked up a large piece of salmon, soaked it carefully in the yogurt, and then took a big bite.

next second.

vomit!
After taking a bite, Xu Ge felt that the fishy smell was amplified several times by the milky aroma, and he vomited it out.

vomit! vomit!
Seeing that Xu Ge had finally fallen for the trick, Kaiyoumu and Luoshan couldn't hold back any longer and spat out the fish meat in their mouths.

Xu Ge: ...

"Hey, what a waste of yourselves!" Li Dongshui and Lao Lian both looked regretful.

Xu Ge and the other two stopped being curious and obediently started eating other dishes.

. . .

. . .

After finishing their meal, Lao Lian insisted on paying the bill, and Luo Shan, seeing this, didn't stand on ceremony either. The two cars then left Thirty Mile Barracks.

In the car, Kaiyoumu helped Luo Shan light a cigarette: "Platoon leader, is this guy called Old Face also one of Hidden Wolves' men?"

"Ok!"

"He seems to have a high salary."

"What do you think? These people are all officers, their ranks are definitely higher than mine, and they also have other generous allowances!"

Kaiyoumu was puzzled: "Why do I feel like the people from Hidden Wolves are all pretty strange? Let's not even talk about the chief instructor's tattoos, his hair is longer than the others, and that old face of his, why does he have such a long beard? Doesn't the military care about them?"

"They are a special unit and often face special secret missions, which is all for the purpose of disguise."

Luo Shan explained, "We can't let people tell they're soldiers as soon as they step out the door, can we?"

Kaiyumu suddenly realized, "It seems that even an old man like me will need to come into close contact with the enemy more often. That must be an assault soldier or a reconnaissance scout, right?"

“No, I think Old Face should be the sniper!” Li Dongshui in the back row suddenly said.

Xu Ge gave him a strange look, wondering how Li Dongshui had figured it out.

"A sniper? How did you know?" Luo Shan asked curiously.

When he first went to teach the Hidden Wolves how to fight, he didn't even know the specific roles each person had.

Li Dongshui: "I guessed."

Kaiyoumu was taken aback: "Guess?"

“It’s just a feeling.” Li Dongshui thought for a moment. “He reminds me a lot of my uncle. My uncle used to be a sniper.”

"What's the point of guessing? Once you're assigned to your units and train hard, you'll naturally be able to join the Eighth Company when you're strong enough. Maybe then you'll have a chance to meet the Hidden Wolves and their ilk," Luo Shan said with a smile.

Kaiyuki said with a determined look, "That's right, this time I'm determined to get into the Eighth Company!"

"Go, squad leader!"

"Abba!"

Li Dongshui and Xu Ge also clenched their fists to cheer on Kaiyoumu.

Hearing the noise Xu Ge made, Luo Shan glanced at him in the rearview mirror: "Xu Ge, how are you feeling now? Besides not being able to speak, is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Xu Ge quickly shook his head.

"Dr. Lin also said that there shouldn't be any major problems, and we'll see if he can recover in a couple of days."

Luo Shan thought of something and laughed, "That's good, it'll keep you quiet for a couple of days, so you won't be shouting passwords at people all day!"

Xu Ge: ...

Just as Luo Shan and his group of four were rushing to the recruit training camp on the national highway, Lin Wan and the female officer finished getting their hair cut and packed up some spicy hot pot to take back to their dormitory.

"Xiao Wan, how long will you be on duty this time?" the female officer asked, handing chopsticks to Lin Wan.

"About a month, I'll be going back to the military hospital next month." "Won't you be eligible for year-end awards when you get back?"

"I don't know, my teacher arranged everything for me."

"I really envy you. Not only are you highly educated, but you're also a major at such a young age. You don't have to worry about anything."

The female officer looked on with envy, "Unlike me, I'm about to be discharged from the army and go home to get married."

Lin Wan asked in confusion, "It's easy to transfer to the fourth phase of military service here. After you get married, your family can come with you."

"My husband is not willing to come with me to the military. Men, you know, they all have their own ambitions! He said he wants to start a business with me after I get discharged, and he even said he wants me to be the boss's wife, hahaha, isn't that hilarious?"

The female officer said this, but her eyes were full of longing for the future.

"Xiaoyun, your demobilization pay is the result of your hard work and dedication on the plateau over the years. Don't let it go to waste as soon as you go back!" Lin Wan reminded her.

The two of them were best friends, so Lin Wan spoke her mind, mainly because she had heard too many similar stories at the hospital.

Many veterans, having spent a long time in the military, are initially unprepared for the treacherous nature of people when they leave the military.

"Yeah, I know you need money everywhere after you're discharged from the military, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of buying a lottery ticket to try my luck today. Oh, right, let's see if I won!"

Upon remembering this, the female officer immediately took out her phone and began searching for it, but soon put it down dejectedly.

"What, didn't you win?" Lin Wan asked casually while slurping her noodles.

"I didn't win any of them. I originally wanted to buy 05 and 10 for my last two numbers, but I changed them at the last minute. Otherwise, I might have won a consolation prize."

"05 and 10?"

Lin Wan paused for a moment, feeling that the two numbers were somewhat familiar, so she reached out and took the female officer's phone.

The screen was still displaying the winning numbers, with a row of numbers quietly showing up.

Lin Wan narrowed her eyes. The more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong. After thinking carefully for a moment, she immediately took the note out of her pocket.

Seeing Lin Wan's strange behavior, the female officer couldn't help but curiously peek over.

A few seconds later, a scream echoed throughout the entire dormitory building.

The numbers written on the slip of paper were exactly the same as the winning numbers: 02, 11, 15, 18, 21, 05, 10.

. . .

. . .

After the shooting training ended, the new recruits of the regiment resumed their normal training in the camp.

Temperatures are gradually dropping, but training volume is increasing. In addition to new subjects like tactics and combat, older subjects are also appearing on the schedule, with physical fitness becoming a particular focus.

The reason for this is that we will be going to the unit in just over a month.

Meanwhile, the camp has received notification that personnel from the brigade headquarters will personally inspect this year's new recruits' graduation assessment.

For instructor Huang Jiabo, the shooting scores of this year's new recruits were generally not ideal due to the weather. If they also fell behind in other subjects during the assessment, he would be too ashamed to go back to his old company.

Therefore, the next training goal for the new recruits in the regiment is not only for all recruits to meet the standards in the assessment, but also to ensure that they are number one in the entire brigade!

On the tactical training field, Xu Ge had just finished his fifth run and was now completely paralyzed on the ground.

26 seconds, that's the result for this run, a significant improvement over previous times.

But that wasn't enough for Xu Ge; his goal was to be number one in the entire battalion and fulfill the challenge of his pledge.

Summon the token; your tactical skill proficiency has reached LV2.

Tactics: LV2 (11/199).

If I had won first place in the last shooting competition, with the 200 general proficiency points awarded by the system, my tactics would already be at LV3 by now.

Damn it, that bastard Li Dongshui is wasting my time!
Xu Ge got angry just thinking about it. If he weren't pretending to be mute, he would have called the other person over and given him a good scolding!
"嘤嘤嘤!"

Bored, the little dog ran over and, imitating Xu Ge, lay down on the ground to sunbathe.

The little guy seemed to be puzzled. It's just climbing a barbed wire fence, why is such a simple thing so difficult for these people?

In fact, many of the new recruits in the class had the idea of ​​becoming a white tiger at some point during tactical training.

Last time, Du Hu impulsively timed Xiao Siquan, and the result left everyone speechless.

A flash of white light, and the 35-meter distance was covered in the blink of an eye. The little dog took 3.8 seconds!
"Alright, stop lying down and get up to continue training!"

Du Hu walked over, swinging his stopwatch. "The platoon leader just said that if you can't do the tactical crawl, it means your physical fitness is lacking. Today is Friday, and the platoon will have a drill during the last period this afternoon. The class with the worst grades will have to do an extra five-kilometer run this weekend!"

"what?!"

The new recruits grumbled as they got up and lined up at the tactical starting point, each carrying a replica gun.

Li Dongshui raised his hand: "Squad leader, did the platoon leader say that there would be a reward for the class with the best grades?"

"I've already applied. If our class has the best grades, they should make up for the dinner we had last time!"

Du Hu looked at the new recruits and asked, "Are you all fired up now?"

The new recruits were as excited as if they'd been injected with adrenaline: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Let's get started! Charge! Charge! Charge!"

Having something to look forward to makes all the difference. During the drill competition, Class 1 achieved a crushing victory and came in first place.

After finishing their combat training that evening, Du Hu gathered everyone together in the dormitory and first asked Xu Ge, "It's been two days, and you still can't speak?"

Xu Ge: "Oh ah ah oh!"

The little dog crouching next to him looked up curiously: "Woof?"

"Looks like it'll be soon."

Du Hu nodded, looked at the others and said with a smile, "The company commander has approved it. We'll have lunch out tomorrow. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"yeah!"

The new recruits were thrilled.

"Squad leader, shall we have a barbecue again?"

"Correct!"

"How about roasting a whole lamb?"

"It absolutely has to work!"

"That's awesome, squad leader!" Zhou Meng shouted excitedly. "Squad leader, I'll go get the charcoal tonight. Don't worry, I've studied the terrain, this time it'll be a sure thing..."

"Shut the hell up! You're the one who caused the crackdown last time!"

Du Hu interrupted Zhou Meng with a stern face, "I told Lao Wang in advance this time, and he will bring the stove and charcoal over."

"Alright, anyone want a cell phone? There's still an hour before lights out, so come get it from me if you want one."

Several new recruits immediately came over to collect their phones, while Xu Ge carried a basin to wash up.

"Xu Ge, you have several missed calls on your phone." Du Hu called out to Xu Ge and handed him his phone.

Xu Ge took the call and saw that Lin Wan had made several voice and video calls in the past two days, so he immediately replied with a message:

"Dr. Lin, is there something you need from me? Training has been quite intense these past few days, and we haven't had our phones back."

After waiting for a while and seeing that the other party had not replied, and with the battery running low, Xu Ge turned off the phone and returned it to Du Hu, planning to call Lin Wan back the next day to ask what was going on.

He's currently mute, and according to the timeline, the system's punishment won't end until tomorrow afternoon.
