Chapter 2 Signing up for the Army
The next day, the sky was still the same, and it still looked so unreal; People are still looking so busy.
A new day is always a new beginning, a new life. Last night was the same as before, turning into a memory hidden deep in my mind, and one day in the future, it might become a memory.
"This is the barracks!" Zhong Yun looked at the tall buildings in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, after all, this was completely different from the seven districts and slums where he grew up!
He had only learned a little bit from his uncles before, and these buildings were made of very expensive special metal materials and other important materials, which could withstand the full force of an ordinary lieutenant general without the slightest damage!
Although he didn't know how powerful a lieutenant general's full force attack was, he expected it to be very powerful! After all, the lieutenant general is already among the strongest in this world!
"Just from the outside of the gate, it is so magnificent, how magnificent it must be in the barracks!" Zhong Yun was a little dazzled by it, and smacked his tongue in admiration.
"Are those flying around the latest high-precision mecha weapons?" Zhong Yun looked at the things flying in and out of the sky above the military region, confused and excited, like a child meeting a fresh toy.
"Maybe it's really fun here!" The corners of Zhongyun's mouth were raised high, and his crescent eyes were squinted, making him look so innocent. It's just that if this look is seen by his uncles, he will definitely be frightened and flee, and the farther away he is, the better! Because such Zhongyun is the most frightening for them!
Either a whole handful of croton while you're eating; Either you have a lot of itchy medicine when you take a shower; Either fix something that gives you nightmares while you're sleeping; Either the act of spoiling your interest while you're playing...... Even if you don't do anything, you have to guard against being hit, and as long as you hit his first move, then you have to be 'served' by him for the next whole day.
You say that such a prank, who can stand it? Who wouldn't hide from him as far away as possible? Is such a person hateful or hateful?
Of course, those are all inconsequential pranks, not to mention that Zhong Yun is a child in the eyes of his uncles, who would be angry with a little child? What's more, in the hearts of his uncles, he is reluctant to fight, he is reluctant to scold, and he is afraid of melting his little liver in his hand, who dares to teach the heart and liver baby of the seventh district?
When he's good, he's very good. I can bring you water to drink when you are just thirsty, pinch your shoulders and beat your back when you are just tired, and wash your face and feet when you are just sleepy...... As long as you just have an idea, he has already helped you do it, or a 'one-stop' service that is considerate and satisfying.
Do you think he's a sweetheart? Who wouldn't want to take good care of him? Isn't such a person cute?
Such a cute and hateful sweetheart baby, what do you say people should do?
Zhong Yun slowly followed the marked direction all the way to a clearing, which means that there are no buildings in the middle except for the high-profile buildings around it, and there are just humans in different clothes and appearances who are "shoulder to shoulder, foot on foot".
"I didn't expect there to be so many people my age in this small base city!" Zhong Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised, although he knew that as long as he was 16 years old, he had to join the army to serve, but it was the first time he had seen so many peers in the seventh district, who had no playmates of the same age. This surprised him in his heart, and at the same time, his mind began to come alive with excitement, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow into crescent moons.
Although his peers were laughing and talking to each other, Zhongyun had no interest in chatting with the people around him. One is that he feels that there is still a long time in the future, and he is not in a hurry; The second is that these peers have their own circles, and rashly joining may cause unnecessary factors; The third is that Zhong Yun, who is squinting at the crescent moon at the moment, is active in his mind, how can he have time to talk!
Just when Zhong Yun's mind was active, a group of five people slowly walked out of the front door, with different appearances, but they were all heroic and serious, all wearing an earthy yellow gray-patterned beret and an earthy gray-patterned military uniform, which was very majestic!
The soldier at the head is a strong man with a strong appearance, with a strong appearance, sharp edges and corners, and a scar on his left cheek that is two fingers wide and thumb long, which looks extremely hideous! A pair of copper bell-like eyes scanned the hundreds of people who were laughing and chatting in the clearing, and a fierce coercion was instantly released!
Suddenly, the sounds of laughter stopped abruptly, and there was silence in the field! Even more than half of them were pale, sweat like beans on their foreheads, and their eyes were full of intense shock and fear!
Even Zhong Yun, who was active, had his pupils shrank sharply after coming back to his senses, and a huge wave was set off in his heart, and he sighed secretly: "What a strong smell of blood!" Staring straight at the front and the leader of the soldier, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and muttered: "I'm afraid I've killed a lot of strange beasts!" At least a major! ”
The leader of the soldiers opened his eyes and roared viciously: "If you want to become a soldier, don't talk too much!" This is not your home, let alone a busy market, this is a military camp! He glanced around at everyone again and said coldly: "Of course, not everyone of you can become soldiers, and some of them will get out of the way in a month!" ”
"Why do you have to get out of the house in a month?"
"Isn't it possible to join the army at the age of 16?"
"What the hell does that mean?"
……
But as soon as the words fell, some doubts and emotional voices came from below. I don't know if it's because of the fierce coercion of the soldiers who led it before, these voices are not very loud, and the interference between the voices makes it sound a little messy and noisy, making it difficult to distinguish the specific words.
But that's just for ordinary people, how can a soldier in the era of destruction be an ordinary person?
The leader soldier snorted coldly, his cold gaze swept to the person who had just spoken, and said coldly: "It seems that there are still some ignorant people!" ”
Quiescence! Still silence! Even those who spoke as ignorant did not dare to make a sound, for they felt the breath of death in that piercing gaze! Even though they knew that it wasn't aimed at them, it was just the aura that this soldier had been contaminated with when he killed the enemy, but it still created fear and awe in their hearts! -- Fear of death, fear of the strong!
"Lieutenant Colonel Yan, these hairy boys are all from various regions, and each region is rich and poor, so they don't know the basic requirements for joining the army in great detail, so ......" A mild-looking soldier stepped forward slightly and explained softly in the ear of the leader soldier.
Lieutenant Colonel Yan frowned slightly, said "um" softly, and then said loudly: "The basic age requirement for joining the army is 16 years old, but this does not mean that as long as you come to join the army, you will definitely be able to become a soldier, because there is a basic assessment before joining the army!" Only by passing this assessment can you be considered a soldier! ”
Suddenly, everyone's expressions were different. Some people have their eyes rolling around, not knowing what they are thinking; Some people looked a little nervous and anxious, as if they were worried; Some people looked happy, as if they had heard something very happy; Some people just stood quietly, without the slightest abnormality, as if they were confident.
Zhongyun stood quietly, not having thoughts and emotions because of these words, because he had known it for a long time. Glancing at the people around him, he also had his own plans for the young people with different expressions around him, and said with a dark smile: "It seems that it will be really interesting in the future!" ”
Lieutenant Colonel Yan glanced around at everyone's performance, had a plan in his heart, and then smiled: "It seems that not everyone wants to join the army!" ”
It's just that his smile made everyone feel even more terrifying and panicked, and their spines seemed to be a little chilly! This smile made most people hang their heads and dare not look at him again! They are afraid that if they look at it more, they will not be able to sleep for days and nights!
Lieutenant Colonel Yan seemed to notice the horror of his laughter, so he returned to his original seriousness and indifference, and said coldly: "I won't introduce myself, when you pass this basic assessment, you will naturally know!" In the end, there seemed to be a playful smile in his eyes, and he paused for a moment, and then continued in a deep voice: "Don't say much, line up in four columns below, enter the door in turn, register your name and receive related items." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Yan glanced at the young men who had just behaved well, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately turned around and entered the door.
"Hurry up! Don't scramble and quarrel, otherwise military law will deal with it! The remaining four soldiers shouted loudly at the same time, and their serious expressions and cold eyes made those who had begun to calculate in their hearts immediately stop their calculations!
"None of the soldiers are simple characters!" Zhong Yun secretly praised himself, and then randomly selected a column and lined it up.
Maybe it was the advice of the elders in the family, maybe it was the rumors I had heard and the power of the soldiers I had just seen, so no one disturbed the order, and they all lined up in a decent manner, waiting to enter the barracks.
Because everyone was very peaceful, the queue appeared orderly, and it took less than half an hour for hundreds of people to enter the barracks.
The buildings and decorations outside the barracks surprised and smacked Zhong Yun's tongue, and he entered the barracks, although the range of perspectives was reduced, the buildings and scenes he could see still surprised Zhong Yun!
All kinds of never-before-seen high-end buildings, although the color is very simple, but the material and function let the discerning person know that it is definitely the best! Although he only saw a few military weapons: fighters, chariots, guns, and mechas, this corner alone made Zhong Yun feel dazzled and frightened! Because these are the latest high-precision military weapons developed to defend against foreign enemies, not those that have only been obsolete for a long time as they are seen in old pictures.
For example, the most ordinary pistol is now made of high-end materials used for aviation in various countries before the Age of Destruction, and its manufacture and construction are several times more complex than the most accurate sniper rifle before the Age of Destruction! Even the lowest-level bullets used can penetrate a steel plate with a thickness of 30 centimeters at a distance of 500 meters, and it can also kill the adult hippopotamus standing behind the steel plate with the thickest and tightest skin and flesh before the destruction era, from the skull to the tailbone!
The lethality of the lowest bullets used in the most common pistols is so powerful, not to mention the power of other newly developed high-precision military weapons! However, these powerful and sophisticated military weapons still put mankind at a disadvantage in this era of destruction, so you can imagine how powerful the foreign enemies that mankind resists! How grim is the situation of human existence today!
"It seems that those foreign enemies are very strong!" Zhong Yun secretly admired the military weapons he saw, but he also felt a little worried about the current situation of human existence, but he was not discouraged and afraid! Because he, too, is part of humanity! All he has to do is do with all of humanity! This is also the common goal of mankind in the age of destruction - "drive out foreign enemies and return my homeland!" ”
Zhong Yun gradually came back to his senses, and he saw the fierce soldier again, and realized where he was standing now, a brightly lit hall.
The hall was very large, and looking at the seats, it could accommodate about 3,000 people. The seats are semi-elliptical, and the focal point is a platform with a length and width of about ten meters at the front. At this moment, the five soldiers were standing in the center of the platform, looking at the young people who came in through the back door one after another.
Seeing that everyone was standing in a pile at the back door, Lieutenant Colonel Yan yelled, "Why are you standing in the back stupidly!" Come to the front and find a seat for me! ”
Everyone hurriedly walked to the front and found a place to sit down. Zhong Yun found a random seat and sat against the wall in the fourth row on the left side of the back door.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Lieutenant Colonel Yan glanced around, suddenly widened his eyes, and said coldly: "I asked you to sit down, but I didn't let you speak!" You don't understand people? Yes! ”
The people who were talking to in the crowd were startled, and quickly closed their mouths and hung their heads, like children who had done something wrong.
Lieutenant Colonel Yan snorted and said coldly: "If you want to be a soldier, you must look like a soldier!" If you chirp crookedly and can't control your mouth, then get out of here as soon as possible! After a pause, he stared at it, and continued to say coldly: "Next watch a short video, if you can still laugh and laugh when you watch this short video, it can only show that you are not only not worthy of being soldiers, but also not worthy of being humans!" ”
Lieutenant Colonel Yan looked around, nodded secretly, signaling that it was time to start, and then the five of them turned to the right at the same time as if they were tacitly understanding, and then the five of them walked away from the platform in a coordinated and neat step.
As soon as Lieutenant Colonel Yan and the five of them stepped off the platform, the lights dimmed together, and the hall fell into darkness. However, a second later, a square projection of five or six meters suddenly flashed on the platform.
The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was only four and a half meters of blood-red characters -- "Age of Destruction".
