You've already received a first-class merit award, why are you pretending to be a new recruit a

"arrive."

Xiao Longteng stepped forward, ran to Lei Zhan, and stood at attention.

Lei Zhan turned the tablet horizontally.

On the screen is a segmented curve representing a 5-kilometer journey.

The first two kilometers were low, the third kilometer was uphill and the slope lifted, the fourth kilometer was past the second class, and the last 500 meters were low again.

Unhappy.

But it's stable.

Several class leaders were standing nearby.

Chen Fei stood in front of Class Two, his earlier resentment now subsided.

Zhao Hai held his training clip and didn't say a word.

Lei Zhan pointed to the fourth kilometer section.

"Can you understand it?"

"The report is understandable."

"Debriefing".

After looking at the curve, Xiao Longteng looked at the segmented data next to it.

"Report: First shift, control your speed for the first two kilometers and try to calm Liu Hai's injury down first."

"The third kilometer uphill, the formation was not spread out, the water replenishment order was normal, and the equipment did not fall apart."

"At the fourth kilometer, the second shift broke down in the middle and the third shift recovered their formation. The first shift maintained their pace and overtook the others at their average pace."

"With the last part of the line, Liu Hai's ankle is close to the critical point, so the whole class drops half a step to ensure the last part of the team crosses the line effectively."

Lei Zhan did not answer.

Only the sound of footsteps echoed from the recovery area on the sidelines.

"Why didn't you speed up when passing the second shift?"

"Report: Accelerating will create a gap between the beginning and the end."

"Class 2 was already being held back by the last-place team. As long as Class 1 didn't fall apart, they would have an advantage in the overall evaluation."

"The pain level of my bangs is 4.9; taking more than half a step will increase the risk."

Lei Zhan pressed the tablet down.

"He scored five minutes for the last two hundred meters."

Why wasn't he asked to withdraw?

Several people in the class line stood up straight at the same time.

Chen Jingxing swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Liu Hai was sitting by the track, his ankle being massaged by a medic. Hearing this, he straightened his back.

Xiao Longteng's stance remained unchanged.

"Report, three items were confirmed in succession after five minutes."

"First, it doesn't cause numbness."

"Secondly, it can be stepped on steadily."

Third, it did not go soft or out of control.

"The squad leader's command is valid. The medic has moved forward and is ready to withdraw at any time."

"Therefore, we will continue to observe and will not increase the speed."

Lei Zhan stared at him for a few seconds.

"Your judgment is quite detailed."

Xiao Longteng paused for a moment.

"Report, the rules were explained before the exam."

"Relying solely on rules?"

"Training records, on-site feedback, and squad leader commands."

"Nothing else?"

Wang Dashan's Adam's apple bobbed.

Xiao Longteng did not turn his head.

"Report: Sufficient."

After those four words were spoken, no one responded.

Lei Zhan did not pursue the matter further.

He handed the tablet to Wang Dashan.

"Wang Dashan".

"arrive!"

"Take this and look carefully."

Wang Dashan took the tablet and glanced at it.

"Report: The lines don't look good."

Lei Zhan raised his hand and tapped the screen.

"You actually picked one?"

Wang Dashan immediately shut up.

Lei Zhan continued speaking.

"Class 1 wasn't the fastest today, but they won because they made fewer mistakes."

"Don't rush in the first two kilometers, don't fall apart on the slopes, don't hide your injuries, and don't break the rules at the end."

"Your class monitor has a loud voice, but you're still thinking clearly today."

Wang Dashan stood at attention.

"Report, loud voice is a natural trait, brains were forced out by the company commander."

Stop being so sarcastic.

Lei Zhan switched to the second squad.

"Chen Fei".

"arrive."

"The second class had speed in the beginning, but the pace dropped too early in the end."

"No matter how well the front row runs, if the last-placed team gets left behind, the overall score will still drop."

Chen Fei stands at attention.

"Yes, go back and make adjustments."

Sun Ming muttered to himself in the queue.

"I guess I'm a key figure now..."

Chen Fei didn't even turn his head.

"You'll sit in the front row for the evening debriefing."

Sun Ming immediately shut up.

Lei Zhan is watching Class 3 again.

"Zhao Hai".

"arrive."

"The recovery in the latter part of the third shift was effective, but the start-up was too late."

Zhao Hai nodded.

"Yes."

"Li Qiang".

"arrive!"

"You were able to go back and bring people back for the last mile; that's progress."

Li Qiang stood very straight.

Lei Zhan then changed the subject.

"But don't always wait until the party is almost over before you remember to bring it."

Li Qiang's face flushed.

"Report, understood."

Zhao Hai added from the side.

"Add one more activity this afternoon: top students mentoring those who are weaker."

Li Qiang immediately responded.

"Yes."

Lei Zhan scanned all three classes.

"The five-kilometer preliminary assessment is not just about ranking people."

"Whoever practices the process until it's ingrained in their body will make fewer mistakes."

"Anyone who only thinks about pushing forward will have their problems exposed by the results."

Chen Jingxing held his breath for a long time in the first class's line, keeping his voice very low.

"That's a really harsh point deduction."

Wang Dashan has sharp ears.

"Chen Jingxing".

"arrive!"

"Do you think my ears are worn out from running around all day?"

"No, I praised the point deduction criteria for being educational."

"Write it in the debriefing tonight."

Chen Jingxing was numb.

"Can you give the report verbally?"

"cannot."

Several people in the class almost couldn't hold back.

Xiao Longteng stood at the end of the line without saying a word.

The tension on his shoulders eased slightly.

The sanitation worker has also finished the check.

"Liu Hai, stop running and jumping this afternoon."

Liu Hai got anxious.

"Report, what about my training?"

The medic loosened his shoelaces.

"Your most important training right now is to avoid ruining your ankle."

Wang Dashan walked over and made the decision immediately.

"Class 1 will be rescheduled this afternoon."

"Upper limb basic treatment, stretching and rehabilitation, and follow-up examination of the equipment."

"Liu Hai participated in the sitting posture, responsible for timing and recording."

Liu Hai wanted to speak again.

Wang Dashan shut down the conversation first.

"The red flag is not a reason to force the wounded to endure the pain."

"Once you've hung up, you need to practice even more strictly according to the rules."

"Anyone who dares to use the red flag to force a wounded soldier to endure the pain, I'll deal with them first."

Chen Jingxing immediately raised his hand.

"Reporting to the squad leader, I suggest that Comrade Liu Hai be listed as a key protected individual in the squad."

Wang Dashan turned his head.

"You want to be included too?"

"In no mood."

"Then go for a slow walk to recover."

"Yes."

Liu Hai sat on the ground, still holding a water bottle in his hand.

Xiao Longteng walked over to him, squatted down, and looked at his ankle.

"Pain levels are recorded every half hour in the afternoon."

Liu Hai nodded.

"Brother Xiao, can I really participate while seated?"

"able."

"Will I slow down the pace?"

"It's only delayed if the record is wrong."

Liu Hai gripped the kettle tightly.

"Then I must be good."

Chen Jingxing happened to pass by and casually struck up a conversation.

"It's over. Comrade Liu Hai has gone from being a physical weakness to a paperwork rival."

Li Lei added a sentence very seriously from the side.

"Your handwriting isn't as neat as his."

Chen Jingxing immediately shut his mouth.

"Li Lei, you're usually quiet, but when you do speak, it's always a blow to the heart."

Wang Dashan yelled and chased everyone away.

"Stop crowding around, recover!"

The group dispersed and walked slowly, taking three steps at a time.

The mobile red flag was still hanging on the side of Li Lei's backpack, swaying gently a few times in the wind.

Nobody was in a hurry to see it this time.

At dusk, roll call was held, and the entire company reassembled.

The fatigue from the five-kilometer run hadn't subsided, and many people's calves were shaking when they stood at attention.

Lei Zhan, holding his training kit, stood in front of the line.

"We conducted a preliminary assessment of the five-kilometer run today, and the issues were reviewed this afternoon."

"Starting tomorrow, we will move on to the next phase."

He paused for a moment.

"Live-fire shooting week".

There was immediate movement in the queue.

Chen Jingxing's eyes lit up, and he whispered something to Xiao Longteng.

"Brother Xiao, is that a real gun?"

Zhang Qiang couldn't help but agree.

"I want to shoot the bullseye."

Chen Jingxing answered immediately.

"Take a good look at the target paper first."

Wang Dashan growled in front.

"Shut up, all of you."

Liu Hai stood at the back of the line, not daring to put full weight on his right foot. When he heard the words "live ammunition," his face tightened even more than when he was running five kilometers.

"Brother Xiao, I'm afraid my hands will shake."

Xiao Longteng's voice was very low.

"If your hand shakes, don't pull the trigger."

Liu Hai nodded quickly.

"Remember these three points first."

"The gun is not pointed at the person."

"Don't touch the trigger without orders."

"Inspect the gun before accepting it."

Liu Hai whispered it over.

On the third class's side, Li Qiang turned half a body.

He had been holding back all afternoon, and now he finally found his chance.

"Xiao Longteng, you can stay at the back of the pack in the 5km run, can you still do that in target practice?"

Zhao Hai immediately called out to him.

"Li Qiang".

Li Qiang stands at attention.

"Report, I'm comparing according to the rules."

Lei Zhan heard this and took it directly.

"If you want to compare, you can."

"But let me preface this by saying the unpleasant things first."

"The first step of shooting week is not going to the shooting range."

"First, complete firearms safety training, disassembly and assembly, and unloaded firearm operation."

"If you fail all three tests, no one can touch live ammunition."

No one in the company made any more moves.

Lei Zhan closed the training clip and tapped his palm with it.

"Guns are not toys."

"If there is any problem with muzzle control, weapon inspection, safety, or finger position, training will be suspended immediately."

"Anyone who dares to take a chance and get shot will be made to watch others fight for a week."

That sentence dampened my excitement by half.

Xiao Longteng stood at the back of the line, his right hand pressed against the seam of his trousers.

The words "Live-fire Week" still echoed in my ears.

He tapped his palm with his index finger, touching the thick callus.

A short gunshot rang out beside my ear.

There were no guns on the playground.

Only Lei Zhan's commands and the suppressed breathing of the soldiers in the ranks could be heard.

Xiao Longteng flattened his hand and reattached it to the seam of his trousers.

The action is fast.

Lei Zhan saw it.

He didn't point it out.

After the evening roll call, each class led their students back in order.

Just as Class One was about to leave, Wang Dashan poured cold water on the whole class.

"Don't get carried away."

"Tomorrow's first lesson will be on how not to make mistakes."

"Chen Jingxing, if you keep waving that gun around, I'll make you practice carrying bricks until the lights go out."

Chen Jingxing immediately stood at attention.

"Reporting, squad leader, I value my life."

Zhang Qiang was still excited.

"Squad leader, is it really possible to fire at targets?"

"If it's not safe, what's the point?"

After Wang Dashan finished cursing, he looked at Xiao Longteng.

"Xiao Longteng, go through the safety regulations with them tonight."

Xiao Longteng stands at attention.

"Yes."
