Death, in his short life, should be commonplace enough, not afraid, not evasive, Klock thought so at the last moment of his life.

But it still hurts......

When Klock was seven years old, he got his own name, Clock, a strange and ugly name, right? Because one of the children in the training camp was late, the instructor shook the alarm clock on the side and smashed the child's head, and the child fell into the heavy rain and never got up again.

The instructor asks Krok to pick up the broken alarm clock, and gives Krok the name, or codename "Alarm Clock", very casually. There is no surname, and in fact it does not mean anything to these children, who do not know where they come from and who their parents are.

So, the surname is just a reminder that you are alone!

He who lives alone, and dies alone.

What does it feel like to die?

In addition to the weaker and weaker heartbeat, it feels like the world is very quiet, and the wound is gradually losing sensation with blood loss, and I can't feel the pain anymore, but it's cold. It is becoming more and more difficult to gradually lose control of one's body, move one's fingers, and blink one's eyes.

Then to the back, to the feet, thighs, the entire lower limbs, to the hands, the abdominal cavity...... One by one, they disappear from their senses, and eventually, their thoughts and consciousness become more and more sluggish until they cease, falling into permanent silence and darkness......

So death feels so long even though it's ongoing!

So when the consciousness wakes up and feels the body again, it will feel too fast, so that you can't react!

The "alarm clock" opened her eyes, and even at night, the light in the house made her feel dazzling, was it because she hadn't seen the light for too long?

Soon, she got the answer, it wasn't. Ignoring the big hand that came to him, the "alarm clock" saw his own appearance through the basin where the woman was wiping her body, a newborn baby girl......

Many of the children in the camp have been in the camp since they were babies.

All the children here have no parents, no families, and the maximum age limit for entering the camp is four years old, some of them have been bought from orphanages, some are from some accident sites, some are from refugee groups or traffickers, some are from families who have organized defectors, or children whose parents have died on duty and have no one to entrust them.

These children will be indoctrinated with ideas and knowledge, and will experience fighting, robbery, and betrayal......

They have only two tasks: to become stronger, and to survive.

In fact, it is not accurate to describe this group of children as "reserve army", because in a small training camp, the total number of children is about 300, and only about 40 of them can become new members of the organization after graduating at the age of fifteen.

But the camp has an iron law of incomparably human nature: children with a bright future are not allowed to be recruited!

Because of this iron rule, the camps buy children from orphanages that squander money and have difficulty feeding many children, buy children from traffickers to be sold into the mountains or to beggars, and buy children from refugees who can't support them.

However, they will never steal a normal person's baby.

Each graduate of the camp will go on the task of buying a child once or twice, as a way to tell each graduate what their fate was and how lucky they are today. It was the training camp that gave them a chance to survive and get stronger.

They survived, so they were incredibly lucky!

No one will remember the children who died before they graduated......

No one will remember the girl who was killed by the alarm clock in the heavy rain.

Her number is 327.

And the student codenamed "Alarm Clock" used to be numbered 326.

They're friends......

In training camp, friends is a very unreal term, because today's friend may be stabbed into your ribs with a dagger tomorrow.

Friends, exist when they have not yet experienced betrayal.

"What does Instructor Zhuo Tian mean by the fourth word 'friend'?" A girl asked, her pronunciation was not standard, but she looked curious and looked very cute!

"Just four, just four, well......"

The girl who was traveling with her tilted her head in thought, apparently forgetting the words of the instructor, but in order to save her own face, she was still trying to find the explanation of these two words from her poor vocabulary.

The two girls wore the same clothes and the same ponytails, and despite the monotonous and unsightly uniforms of the training camp, the two girls looked like twin sisters.

Probably because she had been thinking about it for too long, the girl who asked the question was too bored to wait, so she carefully poked her finger at the fat face of another girl.

"Na! Na! What does four mean? ”

The girl seemed to be inspired by this poke and finally thought of a statement!

"Friend, it's just four like us!"

"So, we're four friends!"

"Uh-huh, we're four friends!"

Even before we figured out what the word "friend" meant.

Before that day, 327 had a high fever due to the rain and could not arrive at the venue on time to assemble, and that day was supposed to be the day when all the children got their "names". Ultimately, not all!

After holding her all the way, 327 broke free of her hand.

"You go first, I'll be there soon later."

Seeing her hesitation, 327 reluctantly pulled a reassuring smile and poked her face with his hand.

"I'm just tired of walking and want to take a break, really! Just a little while, you won't be late! You go first, show for me, the new instructor is not fierce! Let's go~"

In the remaining days and nights of the alarm clock, in every silhouette of light and darkness, there is the appearance of another person, constantly asking!

"Why didn't you insist on coming with me when you said yes at that time? Knowing that I can't even speak clearly, why don't you dare to defend myself to the instructor? Why didn't you shed a single tear when you saw me die? We're obviously ... Friends...... Why? The one who died wasn't you! ”

On the day 327 died, 326 deeply understood what betrayal was......

"It's like us."

……

Between the ages of 7 and 12, children learn two other languages and some basic knowledge, similar to the basic structure of the human body, the basics of firearms, basic first aid for injuries and diseases, and basic poison identification and configuration...... In addition to this, there is also the most important martial arts training in daily training. All from the age of 7, learn how to kill a person, the subject can be surrounded by peers, or even camp instructors.

This is the time when the mortality rate in the camp is the highest, and every month the disabled children are admitted to the medical room, and every year the children have to show their achievements with a fight.

When she was 8 years old, she killed for the first time, using poison.

At the age of 9, she shot her opponent in the temple with a homemade crossbow arrow.

At the age of 10, she buried herself in the dirt and stabbed her opponent through an artery in her thigh.

At the age of 11, he grabbed under the bed board and pierced the bed board to send the dagger into the heart of his opponent.

At the age of 13, she entered the assessment of the junior training camp, and her opponent was recognized as the strongest in the entire training camp, codenamed "Shu Teng".

Most of the people in the camp have code names that have nothing to do with their situation, or even the exact opposite. For example, the female student codenamed "carrier pigeon" is best at poisoning rather than intelligence, while the male student codenamed "Willow Branch" is precisely the well-known reckless man in the camp.

This also applies to the "vines", which kill the most among the camp students.

Generally speaking, in order to maximize the retention of talents, the training camp will not place two excellent students together.

The alarm clock roughly understands that this arrangement is because three months ago, the alarm clock killed an instructor.

This is not the first instructor in the training camp to be killed by a student, but it is the only instructor who died in a one-on-one situation, and it is also the one who died the most tragically.

When the instructor's body was found, all limbs had been severed, and the entire head had bloomed, in addition to that, there were fragments of an alarm clock scattered in pools of blood.

The last page of the autopsy report reads: The deceased was first pierced by a dagger on his left ankle and lost the ability to move, and then his hands and right foot were cut off in the course of hand-to-hand combat. Depending on the degree of oxidation of the blood, the time from being raided to complete incapacitation does not exceed 3 minutes. The deceased was then infused with a compound that burned his vocal cords, which was judged to be sulphur dioxide based on the burned tissues of the mouth and throat, which was consistent with the results of tests of fluid residues on the ground. The deceased was hit with an alarm clock at high frequency in the back of his head, which was judged to be fatal based on analysis of the deceased's skull fragments and damaged brain tissue, and this process lasted nearly 5 minutes. In addition, the autopsy department conducted an autopsy on the deceased's esophagus and stomach, and found no poison, but found a large amount of alcohol, and the blood test alcohol content was greater than 150mg/100ml, and it is presumed that the deceased had excessive drinking behavior about 20 minutes before the attack.

In addition, there is a special case that the Autopsy Department deems necessary to report to you regarding the pinhole on the left side of the corpse. Through autopsy and laboratory tests, it was found that the deceased had been injected with a large amount of cardiotonic before death, and the autopsy department's original report was that the deceased injected himself during the fight. However, during the second examination, we found that the dosage was completely beyond the normal injection amount, and the fingerprints of the deceased were not detected on the needle tube. The opinion given by the autopsy department and the medical department was that the student, codenamed Alarm Clock, kept injecting the deceased in the process of hitting the deceased in the head to delay the deceased's death.

After reading the report, the camp manager still did not issue a penalty for the alarm clock. The first lesson taught in the bootcamp is that everyone has to take their lives firmly in their own hands.

Training camps don't kill the future of the strong because of the death of a weakling.

Despite the lack of punishment, the alarm clock paid the price for the assassination, as the quenched dagger left a hideous scar on the left side of her face, and the toxins that were not cleaned up in time permanently damaged the facial nerve on the left side of her face.

When the medical staff informed her of the results, they were also surprised by her calmness.

"It's okay, I haven't thought about who I'm crying or laughing at in the future."
