On the black screen, white subtitles slowly flutter upward.

When the last line disappears at the top of the screen, a line of words slowly lights up in the center of the screen.

"...... in six months"

As the line faded away, there was a cacophony of voices from the speakers, and the screen lit up again.

In a simple hall full of technology, countless soldiers in combat uniforms walk around them, and the protagonist looks down at his watch, and suddenly a holographic projection appears above his wrist.

"Recruit Training Ground No. 107...... Heh, I'm a recruit too? As the protagonist laughs at himself, a game prompt pops up in the upper left corner of the screen, and the control of the game character is finally handed over to Zhang Liang.

"What...... I'm a newbie? Zhang Liang was also muttering to himself, just like the characters he controlled.

Indeed, for him who has beaten countless levels, he should be considered a "battle-hardened" veteran in this game - you know, he didn't rely on modifiers to get through!

Following the on-screen game prompts, Zhang Liang controls the character as he navigates through the huge lobby, occasionally hearing passing NPCs chatting:

“…… Did you hear that? Star C17 also fell, but fortunately, the Marines desperately cut off the star road connection, otherwise the bugs would have hit here......"

"Shh......h Don't talk nonsense about this kind of news. ”

“…… What's for dinner? ”

"You have the final say, my dear ......"

"Come on, Earl! Oh no...... Lost again......"

“……”

Zhang Liang is not the kind of person who likes to dig into the plot, and he does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder to the extent that he is comfortable with all the dialogues of all the characters, he is not interested in the stories of the NCP around him, and directly follows the prompts quickly through the hall, and comes to the elevator room and presses the 38th floor according to the prompts.

No tremors were felt, and the elevator was quickly lowered to the 38th floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, fierce gunfire came from inside - not far from the elevator door was a row of shooting ranges, and countless recruits were shooting at the target with guns.

"It's really vibrant......"

With the protagonist's complaints, Zhang Liang once again lost control of the role.

"Let me see, Instructor Zhang Tiejun...... Well, it should be over there. ”

The protagonist looks down again at the holographic screen projected by his watch, which is apparently the black-faced man yelling at a row of recruits with childish faces in front of him.

“…… I don't know why you joined the Marine Corps, but I'm going to say ...... Welcome to hell, boys! ”

“…… The more fearful you are, the faster you will die! But calmness alone won't save you! ”

"It's all death anyway, instead of dying like a clown, why don't you die like a hero?"

“……”

"Report."

The protagonist quietly walks up to the black-faced man and interrupts his lecture.

"Is that you?" Zhang Tiejun glanced back at the protagonist, waved his hand to the side, and called another soldier with the rank of "non-commissioned officer" to continue training those recruits, and then turned around and looked the protagonist up and down.

"I remember you. You are a D...... Survivor of Node 38. Instructor Zhang Tiejun's face was heavy, and he beckoned to Zhang Liang off-screen, "Follow me." ”

"Yes." The protagonist looks at Zhang Tiejun's epaulettes - Marine Corps Major.

Instructor Zhang Tiejun was followed all the way, and along the way were busy recruits and veterans in a hurry. Finally, the two of them arrived at their destination, a steel gate that looked heavy.

Zhang Tiejun lifted his watch......

"Drip."

"Welcome, Major Zhang Tiejun."

"Click......

The sturdy metal door opens, and Zhang Tiejun walks in with the protagonist.

As the gate closed, the surroundings fell silent, and the noise was blocked out by the heavy iron door.

Here, it is a huge and empty space, about the size of five or six football fields at a glance, and Zhang Tiejun and the protagonist occupy a very high position, a bit like some kind of stand.

Zhang Tiejun didn't care about the protagonist who was looking around, and went directly to the office next to the door and sat down, turning on the holographic projection.

"Name?"

With Zhang Tiejun's question, a dialog box popped up:

"Please enter your name."

"Yoh? What the hell? Zhang Liang was stunned, but he didn't expect that "Insecticide War", which has always been unusual, actually came up with an online RPG routine......

…… But it still looks quite novel.

"I untie the general's robe."

After typing the above verses, Zhang Liang knocked enter.

"Are you serious? This is no joke! Major Zhang Tiejun, who looked like a black iron tower, frowned, "Write well this time!" ”

"Hey! What do you NPCs know? Zhang Liang sneered, typed "From now on, the king will not be early", and knocked enter.

At the same time as Zhang Liang knocked on the carriage, Major Zhang Tiejun stood up with a loud voice: "I'll give you one last chance!" Surname! Name! ”

Zhang Tiejun stared at the protagonist with burning eyes...... No, the focus of his gaze crossed the screen and fell directly on Zhang Liang's body!!

This!?

Zhang Liang was actually flustered by him, and it took a long time for him to recover......

This game is poisonous! It makes people want to die......

…… But it's the last chance. However, as mentioned before, Zhang Liang is not the kind of person who wants to find out about everything, since he is already so serious, Zhang Liang simply typed his name and pressed enter again.

"Hmph." Zhang Tiejun glared at Zhang Liang off-screen, sat down again, and continued to enter information by himself:

"Gender...... Man. ”

"Serving in ...... D38……”

“…… Okay, your ID is D3875**** Next, whether you can return to the Marine Corps depends on your performance. ”

Zhang Tiejun tapped on the keyboard, and a crack suddenly opened under the desk, and a box rose from it.

Zhang Tiejun walked around the table, took out a helmet and a weapon from it, and handed them to Zhang Liang.

"Give."

"Let me see how much of your level is left."

As he spoke, Zhang Tiejun pressed the button, and the floor tiles under the feet of the character controlled by Zhang Liang suddenly landed, sending him to the huge empty square like an elevator.

"You've got a holographic helmet and a holographic weapon."

"You're going to take part in a simulation battle."

"The results of the mock battle will determine whether you will be able to reinstate your rank."

"Countdown starts ......"

“5、4……”

"Hey! Brat! Remember how to use a gun? Zhang Tiejun shouted.

"Hmph, of course I do!" Zhang Liang muttered disdainfully...... However, before his words fell, the scenery around him changed suddenly! The metal room, which was once empty, has been transformed into a dense jungle!

And...... The roar of the jumping worm is coming from afar!

"Interesting...... Is this a teaching level? Zhang Liang smiled slightly, and touched the roar familiarly......

Suddenly! The jumping insects swooped down from the treetops! At the same time, the other three jumping insects also pounced on Zhang Liang's side and behind!

This!?

The AI of this jumping insect doesn't seem to be the same as before??

Thinking like this, Zhang Liang suddenly waved his gun......

…… Bow your head and run.

Let's run out of the encirclement first!
