Chapter 335 Recruits

Under the leadership of their instructors, the recruits left the school field and went to the open space outside the barracks for training.

16-year-old Zhou Xiong followed the team in a daze. As a young adult, he originally thought that when he became an adult, he would earn more by hunting prey. After earning some money, he would leave his mother to build a comfortable house and marry a wife. His beautiful life, but a conscription order completely disrupted his plan.

Although Xia Guo's military status is very high and the treatment is very good, but he has no intention of becoming a soldier. At this moment, he regrets why he often said how old he was when he typed out the age for investigation.

The recruits were brought to the open space, talking in low voices, not knowing how the instructors would train themselves.

The instructor of the recruits like Zhou Xiong is a guard, with a very strong figure, and a pair of murderous eyes, making people dare not look at him at all.

"My name is Stone Lin. I will be your commander for the next six months. You recruits will be trained here for half a year. After half a year, you will be assigned to the official army. Don't think about being lazy or becoming trash, you must obey My orders, stand up for me now, and send your squads." Shilin said loudly.

The recruits stood there nervously, watching their officers choose their companions.

There are 300 new recruits led by Stonescale, and they are formed into a team of 30 people and trained separately.

Zhou Xiong was assigned to the eighth team. Due to his relatively tall stature, Shilin appointed him as the temporary head of the eighth team.

The first day of training for recruits is to stand in a military posture. After half a day, the soles of the recruits' feet are burning and painful. It is the first time that they realize that standing can be so painful.

When the recruits stood in a military posture, Shi Lin carried a stick and shuttled between the lines. As long as someone moved, the stick in his hand would be beaten down mercilessly.

This kind of corporal punishment training, as a veteran who has been in the army for many years, he naturally knows the benefits of this method. Back then, Xia's army relied on this kind of strict training to defeat the Five Grasslands with a small number of people.

As soon as the sun rises every day, the recruits are woken up by the instructors from their sleep, they wash and eat collectively like machines, and stand in a military posture in the open space. After the boring training every day, it is even more painful to memorize those complicated military regulations For those who could not read, the Military Judiciary Department specially dispatched some officials to teach these recruits military rules every day, five rules a day, without interruption, if they could not recite them, they would be punished physically.

When resting at night, Zhou Xiong lay quietly on the bed, looking at the night where he could not see his fingers. It has been half a month since he came to the barracks, and his daily mechanical life did not make him feel bored. Instead, he felt it was a kind of enjoyment. Compared with his current life, he feels that the current life is much simpler, he only needs to fulfill the requirements of the officer.

"Captain, are you still asleep?"

A soldier beside Zhou Xiong asked.

"Well, I was thinking about something." Zhou Xiong said slowly.

"Captain, do you think our country Xia can defeat those monsters?"

Zhou Xiong was silent for a while and said: "What do you want to do, let's do our own thing well, no matter whether we want to be soldiers or not, since we have no choice now, just accept this kind of life, just like the instructor said, usually Sweat more, and when you get to the battlefield, you will have more hope of surviving than others."

The soldier sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on at home now. I've just been married for a year, and my wife gave me a baby. I don't know if I can live to see the baby grow up."

Zhou Xiong smiled wryly, and said, "Sleep! We will survive. Tomorrow, the military posture will be over. The simplest training is over. It will definitely not be as easy as it is now."

The soldiers were not talking, only the snoring of tired soldiers in the dark night.

The next day, after the recruits assembled quickly, they did not start the routine counting. After confirming that all the recruits were present, Shi Lin said loudly: "You have performed very well in the past half month, and the purpose of standing in the military posture is to cultivate your talents. Obedience, formal training begins today."

After finishing speaking, Shi Lin glanced at the group of recruits, and said slowly: "The reason why our Xia Kingdom's army is strong is not only because of the sharp steel knives and spears, but the most important thing is the steel-like discipline. Even if you die to the last person, you cannot surrender Commander, all the officers are dead, you have to fight hard to kill the enemy, this is the army of our Xia Kingdom, you also know that our Xia Kingdom is now facing the threat of alien race, if you want to survive, you must not be afraid of death, now Lead by each team, run from here to Guiyu River, return before noon, those who come back late have no food, start running now!"

After Shilin finished speaking, the teams of each team immediately started to take action, leading their teams to run along the loess road.

It is at least four or five miles away from Guiyu River. It is definitely a challenging task to go back and forth before noon.

The soldiers ran out of breath. Even though the harsh living environment made their physical fitness much better than modern people, such a long-distance running is not something ordinary people can bear.

When they ran to the Guiyu River, the recruits were already tired and sweating, their legs were as heavy as lead, and they sat down on the ground and never wanted to get up again.

Zhou Xiong looked at the sky, saw that the sun was about to rise to the center, and hurriedly urged his soldiers.

"Get up, get up! Don't you want to eat today?"

"Leader Zheng, let's take a break, I really can't run anymore." The soldiers sighed.

Zhou Xiong's expression darkened when he heard this, he couldn't help but grab a soldier, and shouted: "If you can't run, you have to run, get up for me."

Under Zhou Xiong's continuous kicking and beating, the 30 people began to run back dejectedly.

Seeing that someone had started to return, the soldiers of the rest of the team also struggled to stand up, and ran towards the camp with three steps.

The journey back was extremely long as if it had no end, Zhou Xiong felt a burning pain in his chest at this moment, as if his chest was on fire again, and his legs felt extremely difficult without taking a step.

"Peng!"

A soldier was exhausted and fell to the ground.

Zhou Xiong stepped down and looked back at the fallen soldier, then went back to help him up, and the two supported each other and continued to move forward.

Soldiers fell down constantly along the way, Zhou Xiong didn't want to give up any of his men, and ordered those who could still run, to move forward slowly with exhaustion, even crawling back.

Shi Lin looked at the sun in the sky, shook his head, the time will be up soon, he has not seen a team return, if all these recruits fail, then the collective will not have food today, this is what he very much Unwanted results.

At this time, on the loess road in the distance, a stumbling figure appeared in his vision, and he couldn't help smiling.

"These guys are not bad, they are much better than Lao Tzu back then."

After the pair of Zhou Xiong reached the finish line, they collapsed to the ground like rotten meat whose bones had been removed.

Zhou Xiong endured his physical exhaustion, walked unsteadily to Shi Lin, gave a military salute, and said loudly: "All members of the eighth team return."

Shi Lin nodded and said, "Rest in place."

"Yes!" Zhou Xiong roared, and sat down on the ground. At this moment, he felt that his two legs did not belong to him anymore. He lay on the ground and let the warm sun shine on his face, panting heavily. gruff.

After the eighth team returned, some teams returned one after another, but many of these teams did not return all their members, and many soldiers fell behind due to lack of energy.

Until long after noon, when the last straggler returned.

With a cold face, Shi Lin asked the recruits to assemble.

"All teams that don't return before noon will have nothing to eat for a day."

As soon as this remark came out, the recruits were in an uproar.

"Instructor, didn't you say that as long as you can return, we have already returned before noon." A team member said dissatisfied.

Shi Lin snorted coldly and said: "Abandon your companions for a meal, have you forgotten what the military regulations say, don't abandon or give up, your companions are your brothers and sisters, now you can let them fall behind, in the future On the battlefield, can you watch them die?"

"But instructor, everyone's physical strength is different. Some people fall behind. What can we do? Are we waiting there for him?"

Shi Lin didn't answer his words, and Twenty General looked at Zhou Xiong, and said loudly: "The eighth team is coming out!"

Zhou Xiong was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he was suddenly involved, he walked out of the team nervously, and stood straight in front of Shilin.

"Why can all of your team return!" Shi Lin said loudly.

Zhou Xiong was stunned, scratched his head and said, "Back to the instructor, we ran back supporting each other."

Shi Lin nodded, looked at the captain, and said, "Did you hear that?"

When those teams heard the words, they immediately felt extremely ashamed, stood in the line with their heads down, and stopped refuting.

"Those who haven't completed the task stand here in a military posture for half an hour, and the rest are disbanded." Shi Lin snorted coldly, turned and left.

Zhou Xiong's subordinates cheered, and rushed towards the cafeteria in a hurry. They ran all morning. At this moment, they were so hungry that Zhou Xiong even felt that he could swallow a horned dragon.

During the meal, a soldier came to Zhou Xiong's side, and said with a smile: "Captain, thank you for having you, otherwise I would have troubled you all."

Zhou Xiong said with a smile: "They are all brothers Paoze, so it is right to help each other."

The soldier nodded, and took big mouthfuls of the food. Today's food was very delicious.

Meanwhile, Yancheng.

Qi Yan respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, five of the six captives are already dead, and the other one doesn't know how long he will live."

Hearing this, Wang Lang sighed. He wanted to keep a few alive, but he didn't expect that they would live otherwise.

"The remaining prisoner is good to take care of. If he regains consciousness, come and inform me." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Qi Yan nodded respectfully.

At this time, Wang Lang suddenly asked: "I heard that your clinic is using forceps to deliver babies to pregnant women recently?"

"There is indeed such a thing."

Wang Lang stroked his chin, squinted his eyes at Qi Yan, and said, "How did you come up with this method?"

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, her thoughts turned quickly, what she did to those experimental products must not be put on the bright side, and she was thinking about countermeasures quickly in her mind.

"Your Majesty, this is what Shichen and others thought of when observing the birth of livestock. This can make pregnant women with dystocia more likely to survive."

Wang Lang sneered, and didn't directly expose Qi Yan's words, and said calmly: "I hope you all remember what your responsibilities are, and your medical skills can improve, but don't forget that you are human beings, and those things that hurt heaven and heaven If you can restrain yourself, restrain yourself a little, and don't lose your human nature."

Qi Yan saw sweat on his forehead when he heard the words, and said quickly: "I will remember your Majesty's instruction."

Wang Lang nodded, and waved his hand wearily to let Qi Yan back down.

Looking at the figure of Qi Yan leaving, he was very entangled in his heart. Not long ago, Jin Yiwei had obtained conclusive evidence, which proved that the doctors in the medical center were secretly conducting human experiments, and the subjects of the experiments were those former cannibals. It's just that these doctors were restrained enough to extend their tentacles to ordinary Chinese, so he decided to let them go temporarily.

However, as a modern person, Wang Lang hates human experimentation from the bottom of his heart. The Japanese pirates’ invasion in another world caused pain to Huaxia’s heart. When he mentions human experimentation, he will unconsciously think of those compatriots who suffered in the past. We, feel deeply remorseful in our hearts for releasing these doctors for experimentation.

"Your Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, please see me!" The guard came in to report.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Let him in!"

After Wu Yun came in, he bowed and said: "Chen Lin Wu Yun, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"No gift, sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Wu Yun sat down, he said, "Your Majesty, the drama you asked the Ministry of Rites to rehearse has been completed, and now the actors are waiting outside the Yellow City. I wonder if Your Majesty can watch it now."

Wang Lang nodded, and told the guards: "Let those actors come in!"

The guard took the order and left in a hurry.

It didn't take long for more than a dozen actors to be arranged in the hall.

Wang Lang sat on a high seat and said in a deep voice, "Let's get started!"

Hearing this, Wu Yun quickly asked these actors to start performing.

This play was written by Wang Lang himself. It is mainly a vision of the future. It tells the story of the people who invaded the Xia Kingdom and after the Xia Kingdom's army was defeated. They were kept in captivity by the dinosaurs as livestock. Because of the fresh and tender meat quality of human beings, human beings were reduced to meat people, and the women provided fresh human milk for the dinosaurs like pregnant does. A scene was staged on the land of China. A human tragedy in which the wife is separated from the scene.

The plot is very simple. Although the performances of these actors are clumsy, they can still feel the tragic fate of human beings from their performances. Wang Lang believes that as long as this play is staged, it will definitely arouse the fear of defeat in the Xia Kingdom. He It intends to completely smash the unrealistic illusions in the hearts of the Chinese people, promote the dinosaurs as cruel devils, unite the fearful human beings, and fight the dinosaurs with their backs.
