Chapter 2 [Zero]

"Two hundred and one, two hundred and two, two hundred and three......"

Slogans sounded on the playground, and students in one class were doing squat training, uneven, like rolling waves.

In the class of more than 50 students, most of them are boys and less than 10 girls. The sky was covered with rain, and the sticky and damp sweat and rain mixed together, clinging to the skin, bringing a biting cold in the winter of December.

After two hundred and twenty strokes, many people's faces were already blue and white, sweat was pouring down their foreheads, and even the hands folded behind their heads were visibly trembling.

After two hundred and thirty-seven strokes, a girl fainted. Look at the age of less than fifteen. The surrounding students should be hugged, and the instructor who shouted the slogan shouted:

"Don't stop, keep doing it."

The bespectacled instructor next to him spit out the cigarette butt from his mouth, glanced at several instructors nearby, and carried the girl out of the crowd, preparing several buckets of cold water by the stands, which they were used to and had been prepared for.

The girl was dragged to the drain, where a bucket of ice water was poured over her head, and her hair slipped into the drain, looking like the corpse of a beast skinned and ready to be slaughtered.

No one turned their heads to look at it, because the slogan continued.

"Two hundred and thirty-nine, two hundred and forty ......"

Every time a number is shouted, the students have to squat, and gradually, after someone squats, they can't stand up again.

Then came the sound of the ruler hitting his face.

Those who can't keep up with the rhythm will be dragged out of the line, beaten with a ring ruler, and then dragged back to the line to continue the squat. If it doesn't work, it will only attract more rings.

The instructors are very heavy-handed. In addition to the sound of slogans, the playground began to be accompanied by the gruesome whipping of the ring ruler and the heart-rending howl of pain.

"Call again, call again and double!"

The instructor raised the ring ruler in his hand high, swept over the afterimage, and slammed it on the arm of a student with a sound of breaking the air, the skin and flesh were open, and blood flowed everywhere.

The ruler was broken into two sections.

The student screamed and lay on the ground and rolled back and forth, and the instructor pushed his glasses and indifferently began the countdown:

“10,9,8……”

When the countdown was five seconds, the injured student stood up tremblingly with his arms clutched, bowed ninety degrees to him, and shouted with tears in his eyes:

"Thank you, teacher!"

The instructor who shouted the password sneered and continued.

Do three hundred squats, and that's just the beginning. By the time it was two hundred and seventy, more and more people could not hold on, and they could not stand up again after squatting for a long time. The three or four instructors in charge of punishment on the field couldn't even drag people.

"Keep doing it for me! If I can't do it, I'll notify the mountain chief, and the dragon whip will wait! ”

The instructor who shouted the password burst into applause, and many people couldn't help but tremble when they heard the word dragon whip. The instructor stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the student at the front of the line:

"You, shout the password, start from two hundred and sixty!"

The student closed his eyes and shouted:

"Two hundred and sixty."

Students squatting.

"Louder!"

"Two hundred and sixty!"

The students squatted again.

"Louder!" The instructor burst into his ear with his throat pulling.

"Two hundred and sixty!!"

"Two hundred and sixty-one!!"

"Two hundred and sixty-two!!"

The instructor no longer had to shout the password, paced around the crowd with his hands, and said in a loud voice:

"Do it all for me! Reflect on yourself, why do you want to come here for physical training while other students are studying? ”

"Because you're all garbage! Everyone in this class is not worth mentioning trash! You're here because your parents think you're trash! ”

"Only garbage will be thrown into the trash, and everyone in your zero-breaking class is garbage!"

"I can't even do 300 squats, I can't honor my parents, I can't read, and I don't know the most basic etiquette and morality! Each of you has made a big mistake to be assigned to this zero-breaking class, and only people who have no brains will make this kind of mistake, so you deserve to be punished! Beaten! You deserve it! ”

The leading student's hoarse voice was still remembering, and everyone pursed their lips and listened to the instructor's scolding, all of them without saying a word. There was a rare whimper in the ranks.

There were a few taller and stronger students in the team, who looked a little better at the moment, and one with a shaved head listened to the instructor's incessant insults, his forehead was bruised, and his face was flushed, like a volcano that had reached a critical point and was about to erupt.

Just as he was about to step out of the group and confront the instructor, the man next to him touched him with his elbow without a trace.

"Calm down, Fang Chang. Do you still want to be whipped? ”

Fang Chang was the only one in the class who had received a "dragon whip" and could get out of bed and walk around within a week. He used to be a sports student at the school, but because he skipped class and played games, he was tricked by his parents into Kanglong Academy.

Kanglong Academy's trick of bringing him in was also very despicable. After knowing that he was a sports student, for fear that he would violently resist, the academy sent a few people, dressed in uniforms similar to those of the police, to join his parents, and knocked directly on the door of his house one day and entered his room.

"Is your name Fang Chang?"

Fang Chang, who didn't know what was going on, was shocked by the uniforms of several people, thinking that it was a police visit, so he honestly said yes.

"We suspect there's something wrong with what you've posted online, and now we're asking you to come with us."

As he spoke, those people took out a pair of handcuffs, took Fang Chang downstairs without saying anything, got into the car, and sent him directly to Kanglong Academy in Jiangxi.

It wasn't until the moment he was locked in the confinement room that he realized he had fallen into a trap.

In the seven days of the boring liberation room, he had countless negative thoughts, and after he came out, he naturally scoffed at the various unwritten rules of Kanglong Academy, and his attitude repeatedly attracted the dissatisfaction of the instructors, and he was treated as a thorn, and he was subjected to dozens of ring rulers every day.

He was full of hatred for every member of the faculty in the college. In the two months he has been imprisoned in the academy, he has been thinking about a way to escape, he has secretly gathered a group of accomplices, brewing a plan to escape, and Fan Lei next to him is one of the accomplices.

Hearing Fan Lei's persuasion, Fang Chang finally calmed down a little, and followed the others to do squats without saying a word.

He was depressed in his heart, thinking that these students were bloodless, and dozens of people, why should they be called around by three or four instructors and used as animals?

But the reality is cruel, the students' resistance is not just a simple addition and subtraction math problem, the human heart is a very complex thing, even in the same class, there are still many people who try to curry favor with the instructor to get themselves out of the zero class, at least to avoid more severe punishment.

In the face of absolute oppression, people will always prioritize self-preservation.

After three hundred squats, the nightmare of breaking the zero class has just begun.

"Everybody, now run twenty laps around the playground without stopping! Run! ”

The students in the zero-break class ran loosely around the school road, like a flock of sheep that had been scattered.

Eight kilometers, not too far away. But it was a complete nightmare for ordinary people — for a group of frail and malnourished teenagers who were tortured all day long.

Not to mention that they had just finished three hundred squats.

Everyone's legs felt like they were being poured with lead. Running on a track paved with granular rubber is like struggling in a quagmire.

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and the slowest ten people will be beaten 30 times!"

After the glasses instructor finished shouting, he returned to the stands, picked up a bottle of mineral water and poured it on his head.

"Good work, old Liang."

Instructor Liang took off his glasses and wiped the sweat from his brow.

"These little kids are so hard to discipline. If you don't come to be ruthless, you don't know how thick the sky is. ”

"Yes." Someone said, "Have you heard, there were still people at the girls' school who wanted to drink laundry detergent last night and committed suicide." ”

"Oh?" Instructor Liang turned his head with amusement:

"And then?"

"What else could there be." The man smiled and said:

She thought she would be taken to the hospital and not have to stay here. As a result, our mountain chief had a way, and directly poured two buckets of water on her in front of the whole class, drank and vomited, vomited and foamed all over the ground, and it was said that he would beat the dragon whip in front of the whole school tonight. ”

"That's pretty hilarious." Instructor Liang smiled:

"These things still think that they can make a lot of trouble, a group of things that their fathers don't care about and don't love their mothers, and the family really cherishes them, so they have already come to pick them up."

"Not really."

The two chatted about the students of Kanglong Academy and pointed at the students running on the playground, without a trace of sympathy between the words, as if they were watching crickets.

Most of them had only run three or four laps, and some people were already out of breath and staggering, and most of the girls in the class were left behind in the back of the group.

Kanglong Academy does not have a very limited age limit for recruiting students, 12 to 24 years old can be enrolled, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl gradually left the team, her feet are unsteady, the instructor next to Instructor Liang has already taken out the ring ruler on his waist expressionlessly, ready to drag it away at any time.

After another half lap, she finally lost her strength and fell to the ground crookedly. It is like a deer that has been hit by an arrow, gradually breaking away in a panicked run, falling behind, and dying silently.

Instructor Liang and a few people beside him walked over.

Between her legs, crimson blood gradually leaked from the fabric of her blue school pants.

"It's menstruation."

"Lao Liang, do you think this is menarche?"

"I guess so, how many of them aren't chicks at this age?"

"How many of those who can enter this academy are chicks?"

The instructors laughed without pity, lifted it up businessmantly, and walked to the stand with the bucket.

A bucket of cold water was poured over her head, and the girl's body spasmed, gasped, and opened her eyes suddenly.

A few vague figures blocked out the sunlight, and when the line of sight gradually cleared, all I saw were faces with sinister smiles. She sat up in a panic, ignoring her embarrassment, and was about to get up with tears in her eyes:

"Teacher...... Teacher...... I didn't mean to...... I'm going to keep running......"

She bowed over and over again, turned to escape, and was rested on her shoulder by a hand.

"Wait a minute."

Instructor Liang said with a smile:

"Girls should pay attention to their appearance, you can't do this."

He reached out and unconcernedly ripped the wet hair from the girl's shoulder.

A small pendant at her earlobe was exposed.

The smile on his face grew deeper.
