Chapter 20 The Eve of the Examination
Jiang Xiaobai didn't expect that after he passed through a high fence and an earthen and stone wall and entered the south camp of the 361 City Guards, the special mission was released.
The special task is to become a soldier.
After the special mission is completed, there are side quests later.
Jiang Xiaobai has never been a high-minded person, Uncle Lan on the other side of the wasteland didn't let him go, he didn't take a step, Yu Youliang wanted to ask for his golden eagle coin, but he couldn't bear it.
But.
This time, the side quest is to follow the special quest, and after becoming a soldier, this makes him really look forward to it.
Jiang Xiaobai believes that there is no big problem in becoming a soldier, and the only suspense is whether he can enter the 1st City Guard Squad.
Even, Jiang Xiaobai was still thinking that there would be no hidden abilities among the people in this group of assessments, right?
"Probably not, though."
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head.
With the ability of the supernatural, as long as he is willing to submit to the settlement, he will start by directly parachuting into the non-commissioned officers of the internal Zhili army.
The City Guard was never their first choice.
Call!
Following into the camp, you can see the northwest direction near the settlement and the settlement area, and there are camps arranged one after another.
Deeper in the camp, several tall stone and brick houses can be faintly seen.
On the east side of the entire camp is a training ground, and at this time, Gao Fangping is walking towards the largest training ground in the center with everyone in the No. 7 community.
Soldiers training at other training grounds in the distance let out bursts of shouts.
On the largest training ground, there were already rows of teams lined up, and before Jiang Xiaobai and the others arrived here, there were already several teams here.
Like Jiang Xiaobai and his team, there are teenagers, teenagers, young adults, and young men who are close to thirty years old.
Jiang Xiaobai's heart couldn't help but pound after stepping into the largest training ground and the team walked in the area they had prepared.
Finally stepped here, and it was time to start the soldier assessment.
He had been looking forward to it for a long time.
The beginning of all dreams and inner desires to be realized is to become a soldier here, and then slowly take Ji Luoxue and Uncle Lan into the settlement.
"Soldier Assessment!"
"I'm coming!"
"1st City Guard Squad, I'm here too!"
In the team, Jiang Xiaobai clenched his fists.
Surrounding.
There were also voices one after another.
"This is my first time participating in the soldier assessment, so nervous!"
"Don't be nervous, because you're going to be eliminated in the first round."
“……”
"In my opinion, Jiang Xiaobai is the only one who is basically stable among us."
"Jiang Xiaobai, who is it?"
"The most powerful hunter in the No. 7 market, or rather, our group, the two most powerful people in the area, Li Weiqiang and his group are not his opponents."
"He's here too?"
"That's nature, look, the man in the gray cloth with two patches is him......"
On the right hand side of the No. 7 market, there is the assessor of the No. 6 market, Jiang Xiaobai is very famous in his own market, and his popularity in the No. 6 marketplace is also very high.
While many people were talking, their eyes were focused on the young figure at the end of the line.
Even if they don't want to admit it, they accept it in their hearts.
Jiang Xiaobai.
is the person who is the most sure of them to become a soldier of the City Guard, and can even compete for the position of the 1st City Guard Squad, Jiang Xiaobai, has basically booked a position.
"In previous years, the number of people who participated in the registration was about 800, and if it was more, it might barely reach 1,000, and no more than 20 soldiers were recruited each time."
"The ratio of promotions is about forty to one to fifty to one."
"This time, although there are more places to be recruited, the number of people who have signed up for the assessment has also increased correspondingly, and the proportion will not be much worse than in previous years."
Jiang Xiaobai kept quiet, listening to the bursts of discussion around him.
More and more queues gathered.
The number of people is also increasing.
In fact.
The people in the Jimin District who have the money to participate in the assessment have a better physical fitness in the Jimin District, that is to say, the registration fee of two silver coins has actually screened out a large number of them.
It seems that 1 in 40 to 1 in 50 people who signed up finally passed the assessment.
But if you look at the entire market area, it is about one in a thousand.
Even higher.
"A thousand or even two thousand people can be promoted to one."
"It's a bit cruel......"
Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath.
Looking at the more than 40 other people in their group who signed up for the assessment, looking at the nervousness, apprehension, anticipation, and excitement on their faces.
Jiang Xiaobai was clear.
In addition to him, at most, one or two of them in the community area may finally pass the assessment, and even in the end, none of them can pass.
It's that cruel.
And these cruelties are even more obvious on the faces of those who have participated in many soldier assessments.
Jiang Xiaobai noticed a man.
Next to him is in the market area next door.
I heard that he was twenty-nine years old and had participated in 12 consecutive soldier examinations.
But all of them are failures.
The calmness in his eyes was as calm as if it were dead silent, without the slightest hint of expectation.
He came here for two silver coins, perhaps, because he still had a little hope in his heart.
Or perhaps, it was the annual habit he had developed that made him come over subconsciously.
But this time, if he fails again, he will have nothing to look forward to.
"Alas......"
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly sighed in his heart.
If there were no stone tablets, he would probably be a little better than an ordinary adult man in all aspects.
At that time, would I succeed in participating in the soldier assessment?
Will it be like that man, who failed for countless years in a row, and finally did not give any hope, and in the middle of an unknown night, huddled in a corner of the ghetto, growing old and dying alone?
Then, moths and maggots crawl all over the body, and they are disposed of with a rancid smell?
No!
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head resolutely.
Don't have those discouraged thoughts yourself!
Since I came here, I was going for the quota of the soldiers and even the 1st City Guard Squad, Ji Luoxue, Uncle Lan, they are still waiting for me in the market area!
I!
How can you keep them waiting?
How can they live up to the expectation and trust in their eyes when they part?
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
On the training ground, more and more teams gathered, and finally, an hour after Jiang Xiaobai came here, the teams from the 49 market areas in the 361 settlement and all the market areas were all assembled!
The early winter sun shines.
It was about ten o'clock in the morning.
As far as the eye can see on the noisy training ground, all black heads, the team is lined up in 49 columns, from right to left, 1 column, 2 columns, 3 columns, 4 columns...... 47 columns, 48 columns, 49 columns!
Each column corresponds to the assessors of their respective gathering areas.
At the head of their ranks were the captains of the various ghetto.
The other soldiers had silently retreated, and just as everyone remained silent and waiting, in the distance in a group of officer corps, the figure of a heroic girl walked from the sun.
Her skin was still very white.
The face was still cold.
The eyes are clear and clear, the face is delicate, and the figure is concave and convex.
When passing by the No. 7 group in the community, his eyes were slightly raised, and he swept past Jiang Xiaobai's body at the end of the line.
Jiang Xiaobai's heart suddenly chuckled.
Thousands of people passed by, so many people don't look at me, and sure enough, you like me silently in your heart!
