Chapter XVIII The Beginning of Destruction I
The next few days were an endless period of physical training.
The first lesson was just three nonsense sentences, which made those students who were quite basic have a lot of complaints in their hearts, but in the following physical training courses, they thoroughly understood the origin of a small part of the captain's prestige.
Curtis set a different amount of training according to the ability of each student, and if the will is strong enough, he will be exhausted at the end of the day, that is, he will not want to do anything but fall asleep in bed. Those who major in the ability of the martial arts domain train several times more than others. Although each student more or less hid some of his abilities, and the captain didn't ask at all, the amount of training given was exactly according to each person's limit, no more, no less.
Su did not strengthen any of the abilities of the Fighting Domain, but the training content and amount of training given to him by Curtis were the standard for the second-order ability enhancement of the Fighting Domain, and he specifically strengthened the strength training. In terms of body, Su's endurance is particularly long, and he is very meticulous in the distribution of his body, and he can mobilize the last drop of his body, which may come from years of life in the wilderness, saving every penny of energy to make it work to the fullest has almost become an instinct. And Su's strength and physical defense are relatively not so prominent, only roughly equivalent to first-order strengthening. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, Curtis's training content just hit Sue's soft underbelly.
It wasn't until 12 o'clock in the evening that Su finished the final training project, 200 weight-bearing pull-ups. When he moved back to the barracks and threw his body on the bed, he didn't even have the strength to eat. The overload of training made every muscle in his body hot, and the number of jΓΉ that was fed back from all over his body was messy, and a large number of muscles were out of control because of too much fatigue, and they couldn't stop spasming.
Sue gasped, curbing her desire to fall asleep, and struggled to get out of bed after a long time.
On an iron table by the barracks window, special nutrients and water are placed. Su grabbed the nutrients, and the arms and fingers were shaking all the time, and the action of removing the lid was very difficult, and it took a few tries to succeed. He brought the tube to his mouth and squeezed it hard, and the gray-white nutrients slid into his mouth like toothpaste, and were swallowed with difficulty.
The nutrients of the Dark Dragoon are certainly not comparable to those produced at the N958 base. These special nutrients are balanced, comprehensive, and high in calories, and contain many hormonal drugs that relieve fatigue and inhibit muscle damage. But I don't know if it's intentional or not, the nutrients provided by the training camp are bitter, dry and hard, and the taste is like chewing sawdust.
After experiencing extreme fatigue, people's appetite is already poor, and after eating this nutrient that is obviously prepared to hinder human taste, I feel like vomiting after taking a bite. In addition, this type of synthetic nutrient requires a lot of water to neutralize, and if you don't drink it right away, your mouth will immediately become dry as if you have been trekking in the desert for a week, but after drinking a few more sips of water, your stomach will feel full, which is very uncomfortable.
One tube of nutrients in each person's barracks is actually three days' worth of food. After completing the captain's devilish physical training, most of them crawled back to their barracks and fell asleep first of all. A few people insisted on taking a few bites of nutrients and fell asleep. This is only the third day, and there are already two who can't withstand the huge amount of training, and they can't finish the prescribed amount anymore after being relieved.
The captain didn't talk nonsense either, and as punishment, he just gave two sticks each. When the first stick went down, the two men were just pale, and they could barely hold back their screams. Then when the captain's second stick fell, the accumulated pain instantly exceeded the bottom line of their patience, and they immediately screamed and screamed. The two of them rolled on the playground for almost 5 minutes before stopping. One of them was extremely weak, but barely able to stand up. The other was completely spread to the ground, twitching and smirking, apparently having broken his will from the excessive pain.
The captain spat at the man lying on the ground and scolded, "Soft egg! Come on, drag it away! Two stout soldiers pounced out of the darkness and dragged the already mad cadet out.
This was the first time since Su that someone had tasted the captain's stick. From the terrible screams, the cadets finally realized that the true power of the captain's rubber stick did not match the strength that did not seem heavy, and thus quietly changed their views on Su, who could take six sticks. Although the two trainees were exhausted after hard training, and their tolerance for pain decreased considerably, the difference between the two sticks and the six sticks was by no means explained by this reason.
It took Sue half an hour to swallow all the nutrients. Carefully formulated nutrients are delivered to all parts of the body at an astonishing rate, and effective pharmaceutical ingredients are delivered to damaged muscles everywhere in the first place. After absorbing the nutrients and medicines, the muscle fibers squirm one after another, thickening and toughening at a speed visible to the naked eye to cope with the new tests that are coming.
In the darkness, Sue opened his eyes again, he felt extremely hungry, the nutrients he had just eaten had been depleted by the amazing absorption power of his muscles, and even the amount of the previous two days accumulated in his body was also taken into it.
Su Ping was lying on the bed, and the flickering numbers on the wall told him that it was only one o'clock, and it was still very early before the scheduled wake-up time of 4:30. But his stomach burned like fire, and the hunger completely wore away his sleepiness. Su had to sit up, and then he was stunned, the two evolution points that had just been generated had disappeared, and he clearly sensed that he had newly generated two new abilities in the fighting domain: first-order strength and first-order physical defense.
This self-generated ability is what the Captain once mentioned, the so-called ability obtained in the wild. Sue knows this and is no stranger to the feeling of self-generation abilities. In fact, all of his abilities are either self-generated, or come from the genes of mutated creatures, and there has never been a time when he has obtained abilities by injections. However, the problem is that he used to inject evolution points into a certain ability domain first, limit the general direction of ability evolution, and then try to generate new abilities in battle, as for what kind of ability will be generated in the end, most of it depends on luck. But there has never been a situation where the body unconsciously allocates points of evolution on its own. Could it be that it was subconsciously aware of the danger that it evolved on its own?
Su sat up, his body with the addition of two new abilities was still a little unaccustomed, and the coordination everywhere was not as good as before. However, it was hunger that overwhelmed the eyes.
He stood up, walked to the door, and pressed the switch on the intercom. A soft voice came over the intercom: "This is Quartermaster Susan, dear Sue, what do you need?" β
It was the first time Su had used the munitions system, and he was worried that there might be no answer in the middle of the night, but he never thought that not only would someone reply immediately, but such a nice voice would come out of the walkie-talkie. It's just that except for a few female cadets, Su has never seen any women in the barracks, where did this quartermaster come from? However, he was so hungry that he didn't care so much about it, and he didn't mean to talk to the quartermaster at all, but said directly: "I want to add a nutrient, and I want it now." β
There was silence on the intercom for a few seconds, and then the soft female voice said: "Dear Sue, there are now 41 targeted fortified nutrients, 33 special-purpose nutrients, and 15 medical nutrients in the munitions system, I don't know which one you want?" β
The hunger pangs were getting bigger and bigger, and Su could clearly feel that almost every muscle fiber in his body was howling for nourishment, and those muscles that still had a supply of nutrients continued to work hard to expand and strengthen. He had the urge to strangle the gentle, meticulous quartermaster to death, and to use all his control to keep him calm and say, "I'm going to take the kind of nutrients that I'm getting every day." β
"Please wait a minute...... "After five seconds of madness, the quartermaster's voice finally rang out: "You're talking about basic nutrients, which are rationed for free and don't cost extra. However, this nutrient is too high in calories and nutrients and has no health benefits. It is also important to emphasize that this nutrient does not taste good, in fact, it is very bad......"
Su took a deep breath, the muscles in his whole body couldn't help but squirm and rise, and his voice suddenly became extremely soft: "I want this, now." β
Su also didn't understand why the more angry she was, the softer she would speak. But he really wanted to smash the walkie-talkie in front of him, and by the way, the quartermaster's must have been a delicate little face. Hunger can be maddening at times. Fortunately, Su still retained the most basic sanity, knowing that the consequences of violating the captain's ban and leaving the barracks without permission were likely to be an extra six sticks.
The door to the barracks suddenly opened, but the faint glow of the night did not penetrate the door at all. The entire camp gate was filled with Captain Curtis's huge, almost square figure.
"I heard, you don't have enough nutrients in one tube?"
Su's keen eyes saw that the captain was holding two tubes of nutrients in his hands. The depths of his pupils immediately glowed with a faint blue light, but he could still maintain a calm voice: "Yes." β
The captain glanced at Su and said meaningfully, "A soldier who can eat is a good soldier!"
He threw the two tubes of nutrients to Sue and closed the door to the barracks, and then the heavy footsteps faded away.
Sue had just developed a crush on the captain, who was as strong as a black piece of iron, and the next day he found that he had increased his training by another 20 percent.
The 15-day physical training period passed quickly, and when the training period ended, only 21 trainees persevered. Somewhat unexpectedly, the five female trainees were actually there. Su had already understood at this time that the captain's training volume was always maintained around the physical limit that everyone could bear, but if his will was a little worse, he would not be able to hold out to the end. That's when it's either quit or you're punished. Since seeing the mentally broken cadet end, few people were willing to take the captain's rubber stick, and would rather quit directly.
The Captain's training methods seem endless, and each of them has their own set of training programs, all of which target their weakest areas. For example, Sue is practicing strength almost when he is awake. After fifteen days like this, although Su did not advance in the ability to strengthen his strength, the strength of the foundation has greatly improved. But this made Su a little confused, and he didn't understand what the use of training strength was. Generally speaking, people with abilities do not need to develop equally, because with different talents, training in certain areas will only be half the effort. And for Sue, surviving in the wilderness, agility and perception are far more important than strength. Of course, the most important ability is luck.
After the physical training, it is time to choose the right equipment, and according to the captain's words, the next step is actual combat training. To Su's surprise, there were hundreds of kinds of equipment provided in the training camp, including almost all the intelligent and semi-intelligent firearms in the new era, most of which Su had never heard of. However, none of this equipment is provided free of charge, but has to be paid for. When they entered the training camp, all the equipment that the trainees had brought with them was collected. However, when it comes to selecting equipment, each student has an initial amount of 1,000 yuan available.
Looking at the more than five-digit prices of various guns on the display, Su looked at the pitiful numbers on his account, and really didn't understand why so many expensive firearms and equipment were listed.
But when he saw that the other students not only wantonly selected guns and ammunition, helmets and armor, all kinds of detection and counter-detection equipment, and even high-quality multi-functional belt military boots, Su finally realized that although the initial capital of each person was the same, he could also add private money to buy equipment. Could it be that the Dark Dragoon is taking advantage of the opportunity to do the arms business? However, comprehending this was of little use to Sue, because he had no money, and it was impossible for him to ask Persephone for money.
Su patiently flipped through the equipment bar, and suddenly his eyes lit up! He didn't expect at all that among the large number of new-age firearms, there was actually an old-fashioned Barrett sniper rifle! Su's heart moved, and he continued to flip through the equipment list, and sure enough, he found a 0.5 caliber Magnum pistol, which was less than 100 yuan along with ten bullets.
In the eyes of the Dark Dragoon, this kind of old-fashioned firearm that no one wants should be about the same price as scrap metal.
Sue suppressed the joy in her heart, swept Barrett and Magnum into her arms, and even bought an alloy dagger with a little money to spare. As he walked out of the armory with these things in his arms, he received a flood of astonishment and contempt. People were originally wary of Su, who was able to survive the captain's six sticks without screaming in pain, and they were somewhat admired, but now this admiration has completely disappeared. Poverty seems to be a reason to be despised in any era, and Sue is a bit outrageously poor.
Su didn't pay attention to these people, after this period of contact, he already had some understanding of the actions and ways of thinking of the Dark Dragoon and its outer families, in the eyes of these people, everyone who lived in the wilderness was a poor and poor creature, even those in the company. Whether they expressed pity, indifference, or disgust, they did not regard anything outside of their class as the same as them.
