The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

After the evening study session, everyone in Class 1 returned to their dormitory.

As soon as he got back to his dormitory, Wei Shanjia collapsed onto his bed.

"It's finally over."

"Training tires the body, but reading tires the soul!"

The little boy also looked exhausted.

"Hey friend, I find those map symbols terrifying!"

"If the sheep is lost, I can still find it by following the hoofprints."

"The lines on this map are so convoluted, it's making my head feel like it's going to get stuck in them!"

Shen Yan smiled but didn't say anything.

On the other side of the study room, Ma Huijun, Xu Guodong, and several other veterans had not yet left, but had temporarily gathered together.

Tonight, they learned a real lesson from Shen Yan.

Master the basics of armored reconnaissance in three hours.

He was randomly asked questions on the spot, and he answered every single one wrong!

They had intended to give the three new recruits a hard time.

Before the show of force could even begin, Shen Yan had already delivered a blow.

How can this be allowed?

Class One is recognized as the most disciplined class in the elite unit!

When did it become the turn of a newly recruited soldier to ride on their heads?

"Just because we can't compete in theoretical learning right now doesn't mean we can't compete in other areas!"

Ma Huijun lowered his voice and said, "Tomorrow morning, let's get up ten minutes earlier, half an hour earlier!"

"Let's just wake them up and take the three of them out for some physical training!"

"Let them see how our class usually trains!"

Several veterans nodded in unison.

Xu Guodong participated in two special forces selections.

Although none of them lasted until the end, their physical fitness and military skills were still the strongest in the class.

He thought about it seriously.

"Can."

"New recruits who have just joined the unit are most likely to become proud because of their good performance in the graduation assessment."

"Giving them a bit of intensity beforehand will help them get into the zone as quickly as possible."

The six people quickly reached an agreement.

No one noticed that Luo Zhiyong, who was on the upper bunk, opened his eyes.

He glanced at Ma Huijun and the others, then at Shen Yan and the other two who were preparing to rest not far away, and finally said nothing.

He was actually quite pleased to see such a vibrant class!

……

The next morning.

Shen Yan opened his eyes a full hour before the reveille.

He used to get up half an hour earlier than usual.

But now that I've made it into Class 1, I should work even harder than before!

Therefore, he arrived half an hour earlier than before!

Shen Yan quietly dressed and tidied up the bed and other chores.

Only then did he come to Wei Shanjia's bedside and pat him on the shoulder.

Wei Shanjia opened his eyes groggily.

Upon seeing Shen Yan, who was already fully dressed, he froze for two seconds, his expression immediately turning pained.

"Are you going to do extra practice again?"

"This is our first morning since we arrived at our unit!"

"Can't we let everyone get used to the new environment first?"

Shen Yan asked earnestly:

Are you going or not?

Wei Shanjia was silent for two seconds, then threw off the covers and sat up.

"Not going?"

"How could I dare not go?"

"If I sleep an extra hour today, I'll have to practice an hour less than you!"

"Sigh, I was already struggling to keep up with your speed, and now you've trained even more than me, how am I supposed to survive!"

Shen Yan then went to Ga Wa's side and woke him up.

Ga Wa opened his eyes and looked around blankly.

"Want to go out for extra practice?"

Upon hearing this, Ga Wa immediately closed his eyes, seemingly preparing to fall asleep again.

But just two seconds later, he resignedly opened his eyes and slowly got out of bed.

"Friend, this is only our first day in the new sheepfold!"

"If you, the lead sheep, make a move, none of the other sheep in the flock can sleep!"

The three quickly finished washing up and left the dormitory quietly.

The corridor returned to silence.

……

After half an hour.

Ma Huijun opened his eyes on time.

He didn't get up immediately, but first glanced in Xu Guodong's direction.

Xu Guodong had also woken up.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

The action begins!

Several veterans quickly got out of bed.

In order not to alert the three new recruits prematurely, they moved even more quietly than usual.

Ma Huijun straightened his clothes, a slight smile playing on his lips.

When Shen Yan and the other two are woken up, they will find that the six veterans are ready for training and will definitely realize what level the real test is!

But as soon as he turned around, the smile on his face froze.

On Shen Yan's bed, the quilt was folded neatly, like a perfect tofu block!

What the hell!

What about people?

Ma Huijun immediately realized that the situation was not good!

He then turned to look at the other two beds.

Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa, who were also new recruits, were nowhere to be seen!

"What's going on?"

"Did you go to the toilet?"

A veteran nearby glanced at the wash area.

"Did the three of you go to the toilet together?"

"Could it be that he ate something bad yesterday?"

Ma Huijun frowned as he walked to Shen Yan's bedside and reached out to touch the bed.

It's cold!

He didn't believe it and touched Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa's bed again.

There wasn't much temperature either!

The six veterans looked at each other in bewilderment.

The bed is cold.

This means that the three of them didn't just leave, but had already gotten up and gone out a long time ago!

They got up half an hour early, just to give the three new recruits a shock.

Before they even left the dormitory, the three new recruits were already shocked!

Who can I complain to about this?

The commotion they made woke up the old squad leader, Luo Zhiyong.

Luo Zhiyong sat up in bed and looked at the three empty beds.

After glancing at the six veterans who were frozen in place, he quickly guessed what had happened.

"You guys are just bored and have nothing better to do!"

After muttering something, he lay back down.

Ma Huijun's face flushed.

Last night, when they were discussing it, they thought Luo Zhiyong hadn't heard them.

It now seems that the squad leader not only heard it, but also had already guessed that they would be taught a lesson by the three new recruits!

"They definitely did it on purpose!"

One veteran protested, "They must have known we'd be training early today, so they got up even earlier than us."

"They might be secretly resting on the playground right now, waiting for us to come over!"

Although there was no evidence to back up this claim, it did manage to save face for the group.

Xu Guodong quickly got dressed.

"Let's go take a look!"

The six veterans quickly washed up and headed straight to the parade ground.

As they reached the edge of the playground, they heard a series of heavy, rhythmic footsteps.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Three figures turned around from the other side of the track.

Shen Yan ran in the lead.

His backpack was ridiculously large!

Wei Shanjia followed closely behind, his backpack noticeably smaller than Shen Yan's.

Ga Wa followed behind the two, his backpack slightly smaller than Wei Shanjia's.

The three of them had their training clothes soaked with sweat!

This is hardly a slow movement.

They've clearly been practicing for a while now!

As Wei Shanjia passed by several veterans, he gestured with his chin.

"Good morning everyone, are you here for extra practice too?"

Ga Wa also waved his hand.

"Hey friends, you guys are out here to participate too! Good luck!"

After exchanging greetings, the two continued running forward without looking back.

The six veterans stood still, in complete silence.

Class 1 is constantly criticized by other classes for being inhumanly strict.

As a result, the three new recruits got up half an hour earlier than the others on their very first day after arriving at their unit!

This guy is even more vicious and inhuman than them!

Ma Huijun's expression grew increasingly serious.

"Carrying heavy loads!"

"We're not going for a regular morning run today!"

"Whatever they run for, we run for!"

"We can't let ourselves be outdone by three greenhorns!"

Several veterans were also holding their breath.

Soon, the six people also joined the track with their weights on their backs.

Nine figures began to circle the playground and move forward.

Xu Guodong quickly caught up with Shen Yan.

He wanted to ask how long the three of them had been running, but seeing Shen Yan's steady breathing, he ultimately didn't ask.

Run first, then worry!

Let's see how long this top recruit can maintain his position!

The veterans were initially able to maintain a normal pace.

But as time went by, they soon realized that something was wrong.

They've only just started running.

Shen Yan and the other two had already run for half an hour!

Logically, the three recruits' physical strength should have started to decline.

However, Shen Yan's speed did not change significantly from beginning to end.

Wei Shanjia's actions were even more outrageous.

Occasionally, this guy would deliberately accelerate for a while, then slowly adjust his speed back down, as if he wasn't carrying any weight at all.

Even the weakest of the three, Ga Wa, only had heavier breathing than before, but his steps remained steady.

What exactly are these three recruits?

They're all beasts!

Ma Huijun gritted his teeth and kept going for a few laps, but his shoulders and back gradually felt heavy and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

He couldn't help but glance at the backpack on Shen Yan's back.

Just how heavy is this kid carrying?

When Shen Yan ran past again, Ma Huijun finally saw that there were several weights stuffed in his backpack!

Forty kilograms?

His eyes widened instantly.

"Forty kilograms?"

An old soldier nearby also heard it and his steps faltered.

"Are you kidding me?"

"New recruits running with 40 kilograms of weights during morning exercises?"

"Is this even human?"

Before they could recover from Shen Yan's weight, they discovered that Wei Shanjia's backpack must have weighed 35 kilograms!

The veterans were completely speechless.

One weighs forty kilograms.

One weighs 35 kilograms!

They even start training half an hour early?

This guy is the king of recruits and the king of recruits this year, right?

That's just too outrageous!

The recruits of the past were never this fierce.

too exaggerated!

Finally, the reveille sounded in the camp.

The nine people finished their training and gradually came to a stop.

The six veterans were all covered in sweat, and their shoulders, backs and legs showed obvious signs of fatigue.

They also do physical training every morning.

But morning exercise is more about getting the body moving, like running five kilometers, or maybe adding another three kilometers if the mood strikes.

But they rarely do things like they did today, getting up early in the morning, carrying their loads, and running with three new recruits until the reveille sounds!

In contrast, Shen Yan and his two companions...

Ga Wa stood with his hands on his hips, his breathing slightly rapid.

Wei Shanjia took a few breaths and quickly recovered.

Shen Yan even unpacked his weighted backpack and stretched his shoulders, looking no different from when he had just completed a regular training session.

Seeing this, Ma Huijun's eyes twitched violently twice!

He originally thought that Shen Yan just had an unusually high learning ability.

Now it seems, this guy is a freak!

Wei Shanjia wiped the sweat from his face.

"Hey class leaders, are you practicing together again tomorrow?"

"Of course I'll practice!"

Ma Huijun answered without hesitation.

How could a group of veteran soldiers possibly back down in front of new recruits?

Gawa earnestly reminded:

"Then you should come early tomorrow."

"When we came out today, you weren't even up yet!"

Six veterans: "..."

Murder and kill!

They woke up ten minutes earlier than usual today.

If I want to arrive earlier than Shen Yan and the other two tomorrow, wouldn't I have to arrive at least an hour earlier?

If they roll it up for another two days, does that mean they won't need to sleep at all?

……

After breakfast, the entire squad went to the field training ground.

However, a faint sense of defeat lingered on the faces of all six veterans.

Upon seeing this scene, Luo Zhiyong couldn't help but smile slightly.

Three large, carnivorous catfish suddenly appeared in the calm water tank!

This "catfish effect" might actually help the class's grades improve even further!

Luo Zhiyong stood at the front of the group, with a map, radio, binoculars, and mapping tools beside him.

"Today we will conduct comprehensive training in covert approach in the field, target identification, and intelligence reporting!"

Upon hearing the training content, everyone's expressions quickly became serious.

Luo Zhiyong raised his hand and pointed to the training area in the distance.

It was a mountainous area with relatively gentle undulations.

It contains shrubs and earthen slopes, as well as abandoned bunkers, dirt roads, and several open areas.

"Multiple simulated targets have been set up in the training area."

"Personnel, armored vehicles, a temporary command post, communication antennas, and traces of vehicle activity are all there!"

"You need to choose an approach route based on the map, avoiding open areas and simulated enemy patrol areas, and stealthily enter the designated observation area."

"Upon arrival at the observation location, complete target search, nature determination, quantity counting, distance estimation, orientation measurement, and map labeling!"

"Then, using the radio, the reconnaissance results were reported according to the prescribed format!"

"After completing the report, we will need to choose a new route and safely return to the departure area!"

Wei Shanjia's face grew increasingly stiff as he listened.

He's not afraid of running, physical fitness, or explosive power.

Map reading, map marking, target interpretation, and intelligence reporting are all things he has just started learning.

He hasn't even finished reading the book, and he's already going to start practicing?

That's way too fast!

The little boy was excited at first, but then he became a bit dejected.

Mountains, bushes, concealed approach, and searching for traces—all of these were environments he had been exposed to since childhood.

But when he heard that he also needed to measure the location, determine the coordinates, and report in a prescribed format, the excitement on his face quickly diminished by more than half.

Knowing the way is one thing.

Turning what you see into standard military intelligence is another matter entirely!

Luo Zhiyong glanced at the three new recruits.

"Considering that the three of you have just joined the unit, today we'll use a mentor-mentee training model!"

"Six veterans and three new recruits."

"Two veterans will mentor one new recruit!"

He picked up the group list.

"Xu Guodong, Ma Huijun, you two take Shen Yan with you!"

"Du Chengwu, you take a veteran and take charge of Wei Shanjia!"

"The remaining two will take care of the little one!"

Upon hearing the group assignments, Ma Huijun finally regained some confidence.

I failed the theoretical study test, and I failed the morning exercise test as well.

But field reconnaissance is a specialty they've honed for many years!

Even if Shen Yan has a great memory, it's impossible for him to catch up with the experience they've accumulated over several years by reading books for just one night.

Ma Huijun walked up to Xu Guodong and lowered his voice:

"This time, I'll finally teach this kid a lesson about what it means to be a veteran, won't I?"

Xu Guodong did not answer immediately.

He had participated in two special forces selections and knew very well that what was most valued in field reconnaissance was not book memory, but observation, judgment and experience.

This time it truly was their home turf!

But thinking about what happened this morning, he still felt uneasy.

On the other side, Shen Yan had already taken the map.

The moment the map unfolds, contour lines, roads, ridges, vegetated areas, and open spaces quickly come into view.

At this moment, the knowledge that Shen Yan had just acquired last night began to take effect.

His brain started working at lightning speed!

Several possible covert approaches quickly took shape in his mind.

At the same time, a system notification sounded.

[The host is participating in covert reconnaissance training in the wild!]

Military map reading and plotting capabilities are beginning to improve!

[Complex terrain route planning, battlefield casualty search and safe approach capabilities have been simultaneously enhanced!]

Shen Yan's eyes lit up slightly.

The medical field is giving back to the community, and it's starting again!

Luo Zhiyong raised his hand and glanced at the time.

"Each group collects maps, radios, and observation equipment!"

"Route planning completed in ten minutes!"

"Ten minutes later, we will officially enter the reconnaissance area!"
