Chapter 62: Life in the Barracks
After joining the army, everyone's life changed, and they thought they would be sent to do all kinds of things. In fact, they did not do anything, not even basic training, not to mention the operation of tanks and armored vehicles, etc. What they do the most every day is to stand guard in turns, and there is only one thing they have learned, and that is military posture and military regulations.
On October 1, they did not participate in the parade due to the problem of their recruits. Instead, they stood in rows on the main streets to ensure order there, and the parade was made up entirely of veterans. But when all the high-end weapons were displayed at the parade, Lin Jiang realized how downtrodden this human base was, and it was not as strong as humans thought. However, the people did not see the side that their soldiers knew, watching the tanks and chariots speeding through the streets, and all the people cheered and excited.
In their hearts, with this steely weapon, the zombies will not break through their walls even if they are strong. In particular, many missile vehicles and artillery appeared one after another, and the scene became hot, looking at the heavy weapons that are not weak in the human base, they are more comforted and relieved.
"Wow...... Look at the Type 99 tank, the most advanced tank in our country. ”
"Look at the sky, it's a helicopter gunship."
Many of the people excitedly pointed to the cutting-edge weapons that passed in front of their eyes and in the sky, which seemed to them to be pride and power. This is a weapon that humans have spent thousands of years to create, and the lethality of this weapon in modern times is even more terrifying to many people, but not everyone is as excited as they are.
There were several old men in their fifties, looking at the chariot that was slowly passing by, and with a deep sigh, they turned their heads and walked towards their tents. He muttered: "The world is finished, we are all finished, this is the end of the world." ”
Lin Jiang and Tang Peiyao were lucky to be in the same unit, and more importantly, they were in a platoon and a squad, and Lin Jiang was extremely bored sitting on the stone chair. Holding "The Source Against the World" in his hand, he was watching it with relish, and after a while, Tang Peiyao came over and sat next to Lin Jiang and said, "Squad leader, you really have the leisure to read novels here." ”
didn't look up, Lin Jiang looked at the plot in the novel, and said slowly: "Why do you have the leisure to come over, you have nothing to do on vacation today, so you can read the novel here." I've read this novel three times, and the more I read it, the more interesting it becomes, if we can have a cultivation system inside, I believe that these zombies will not be enough evidence, and we can kill them all in one hand. ”
Tang Peiyao glanced at him, snatched the novel in his hand, looked at it directly and muttered: "It's hard to believe that people like you would like to read novels, if you put this focus on studying." I'm afraid it's not too difficult to get the first place in the school, you can memorize so many things, you should be able to remember these basic principles of learning more easily. ”
Looking at Tang Peiyao, who took away the novel in his hand, Lin Jiang said speechlessly: "We have been in the army for almost a month, and basically there is nothing to do except standing guard and basic cleaning of the chariot. No one was taught the basic training, and it seemed that we soldiers were easy enough. ”
After reading a few pages of the novel, Tang Peiyao returned the book to Lin Jiang and said, "This book is really good, recently I found a kind of chili pepper called Qixing pepper. The dishes made with this thing are particularly delicious to eat, but it's a pity that our human base is not cultivated on a large scale. ”
Lin Jiang nodded, he naturally knew this kind of seven-star pepper, and since they joined the army, the food had been very good. Every day, four people at a table can eat one meat, two vegetables and one soup, although there is not much meat in this meat dish, but it also makes them full of food. While chatting here, suddenly Ma Xiaofeng and Wu Silan came over, looked at Lin Jiang and said angrily: "You two are here to make a foundation, and you don't call us when you come out, we are almost suffocated to death in the barracks." ”
"Alright, alright, didn't I see that you were still sleeping. Usually you get up so early to be on duty, but it's rare to have a vacation once a month, so I didn't wake you up. Besides, I didn't go anywhere to play, I just read novels here, and Tang Peiyao just came over for a while. Lin Jiang waved his hand and said speechlessly.
Ma Xiaofeng and Wu Silan smiled slightly, and sat directly towards Lin Jiang's stone chair, fortunately, the stone chair was big enough, and the four of them were barely able to sit down. Tang Peiyao looked at the sky and said, "After lunch, let's go to the outer layer, anyway, we are on vacation today." It just so happens that we can go to see Cheng Xi and them, I don't know how their lives are. ”
"Okay, I'm worried that I have nothing to do, so let's go to dinner early, and go to them in the afternoon." Wu Silan hurriedly said, now they haven't gone out in the inner layer for a long time, even if they are on duty, they are only in the middle and inner layers. Although the outer things can be told by others, they are not always as good as what they have seen with their own eyes.
After having lunch early, after Lin Jiang and the four of them changed into civilian clothes, they walked towards the outer layer. When they reached the middle floor, several soldiers guarding the gate immediately stopped them, one of them seemed to know Lin Jiang and a few people, and hurriedly said: "He is the person who explores the troops, let them go." Let's show them the documents, this is different from the inner layer, the outside is a refugee area, in order to prevent refugees from breaking in, our troops are stationed here to prevent accidents. ”
Lin Jiang didn't say much, they knew this rule, and the day after they joined the army, the army issued each of them an identity card. This kind of identity tag is specially made to identify their identity, and the workmanship is exactly the same as the previous ID card, but there is no chip in it, and it is not the previous small book, which seems to be for long-term preservation. ”
After checking the identity cards of the four people, Lin Jiang and the four of them entered the outer layer smoothly, and when they came to the outer layer, they found that this place was no longer what it used to be. The tents are not as dense as they used to be, and although they are still as far as the eye can see, there are noticeable changes. Walking in the residential area to the north, there are not many people in each tent, and even if there are men, there are only one or two men, and many tents have only women left. Walking towards the corner of the impression, there was a tent that stood out, not because of his height, but because of the iron mesh around him, and the iron thorns on it made people feel a chill in their hearts.
Walking to the main entrance of the fence, it has been replaced with a sturdier wooden plank, on which is written in red lacquer and prohibits entry at your own risk. Gently pushing open the wooden door, Lin Jiang and the four of them walked in slowly, and just a few steps after they walked in, suddenly a figure came out of it, and a QSZ92 semi-automatic pistol was aimed at them. said in a somewhat indifferent tone: "If you know each other, get out of here, otherwise don't blame me for not recognizing people." ”
"Haha, Cheng Xi, your reaction is really fast. It's us, we're back. ”
Lin Jiang said with a laugh, and then took off his hat, just now in order to test the reaction inside, they deliberately walked in with their hats down and their heads down. It's just that they didn't expect that just a few steps after walking in, they were discovered by Cheng Xi inside, which couldn't help but surprise them.
Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the four Lin Jiang people with their faces exposed, he quickly withdrew the QSZ92 semi-automatic pistol in his hand, and said excitedly: "Damn, it's actually the four of you, and you still know to come and see us." I thought you had forgotten about us, come in, they're all in there. ”
Before Lin Jiang and the others could enter, Li Wenwen and the three of them had already rushed out, looking at the four people who came back. Several girls looked a little excited, and hurriedly beckoned them to stay here to eat, Lin Jiang waved his hand, and after declining their kindness, he took out a few plastic boxes from his backpack, which contained the food they took out of the restaurant.
Looking at the food brought out, Cheng Xi said angrily: "Damn, you four guys eat well, there is still this kind of fun, we have rice porridge with pickles and steamed buns every day." Hurry up, bring it in, I haven't eaten anything like this in a long time. ”
Lin Jiang smiled slightly, and hurriedly took the things in with Tang Peiyao and a few others, and specially took out a few bottles of drinks and beer. Ma Xiaofeng directly stuffed Cheng Xi with a pack of cigarettes and said: "I now understand why some people want to join the army, and some people don't want to join the army, you don't know how good the food in it is, it's better than what we give you." It's just that we don't have a chance to enjoy it, but even these are many times better than the outer layer, but it's too boring to be idle every day. ”
Cheng Xi ate a few bites of tomato scrambled eggs, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Boring? No, being a soldier requires training every day, how can you have time to be bored, and training alone can exhaust people every day. ”
When Lin Jiang and the others heard this, they couldn't help but gloat, and Wu Silan couldn't help but smile and said, "That's you, since we joined the army, we haven't participated in any training." The commander inside just taught us some ordinary military postures and military regulations, and occasionally taught us how to use guns, saying that because of lack of time, training was not of much use, so we should exercise more ourselves. We patrol the streets or stand guard every day, and we are also arranged to do shooting training in the slightest, but there is no major training program. ”
When Cheng Xi heard this, he couldn't help but have a black line on his forehead, and after eating a few bites of rice, he said angrily: "I'll go, it's okay to do this, in fact, it's also true." Those of us who are soldiers, just know a little more than your physical fitness and professional knowledge, in fact, it doesn't have much effect, what is really useful is still the need for strong firepower, melee combat, especially when encountering Tank, human beings only suffer. To make it so easy for you, maybe it's just to let you get used to it a lot first, I envy you a little. ”
Knowing that Lin Jiang and his party didn't suffer too much, Cheng Xi was also relieved, not only his girls were relieved. Eating the food brought by Lin Jiang and a few people, everyone ate with relish, although this kind of meal was not too exquisite, but it was the most delicious meal they had ever eaten. After using rice porridge for a long time and waiting to chew tasteless food, they couldn't stop their mouths, and they ate all the meals brought by Lin Jiang in just over ten minutes.
Everyone's face was full of satisfaction, and the food was very fresh, a hundred and ten times fresher than the canned food they ate. And this kind of food cannot be enjoyed at all in the outer layer, and only in places like the middle layer and the inner layer can be eligible for it.
