Time: 23:41

Location: The entrance of the "Furnace".

It has been 16 hours since the graduation assessment of the special training class.

Qin Shi and Ling Lin stood at the gate of the "furnace".

In front of them was a table.

On the table, there are six wooden sticks that represent the graduation certificate of the special training class and also represent the qualification to go to the Longyin unit to participate in the selection.

At the end of the dirt road facing the gate of the "furnace", two figures appeared.

It's Zhou Kai and Hou Hou.

The all-terrain camouflage combat uniforms on the two of them were "shaped" by the dry swamp silt, and they hung dry and hard on their bodies, and they had long since lost their clothes.

On their hands and faces, which were not covered by clothing, there were more or less scratches and scratches.

Zhou Kai turned his head to look at the Hou Monkey who was following him, and said with some surprise: "Little monkey, I really didn't expect that it would be you who would compete with me for the first place in the end." But I'm not going to give you the first place! ”

"Hey, hey."

Hou Hou, who was still gnawing on a piece of raw snake meat, did not respond to Zhou Kai, but just grinned at Zhou Kai.

In the dark, the appearance of Hou Monkey's mouth full of snake blood is really scary.

Zhou Kai was a little cautious by Hou Monkey's laughter, and said to Hou Monkey: "There is a camp in front, there are hot meals and hot soup in it, don't eat this bloody 'duck neck'." ”

Hou Monkey looked down at the skin of his right hand, which had been half gnawed on the raw snake meat; He looked at the half of the snake that was kicked in his left hand, and the dead snake that had not yet had time to deal with the snake skin, and was stunned.

This venomous snake, which can kill an adult in a matter of minutes, took a lot of effort to catch and kill.

It's a pity to throw it away; If you don't throw it away, it's useless to take it back to the camp, such a little meat is not enough for one person to eat a bite.

Zhou Kai took advantage of the Hou Monkey's hesitation to throw away the dead snake, and accelerated towards the finish line, widening the distance between him and the Hou Monkey.

Hou Monkey saw Zhou Kai cheating, and immediately threw away the dead snake in his hand and chased after him.

In the end, the Hou Monkey who was placed by Zhou Kai only got a wooden stick engraved with the number "2".

Not long after Zhou Kai and Hou Monkey arrived at the finish line, the second echelon behind the two of them also arrived at the finish line one after another.

The wooden sticks on the table began to decrease.

The 7th trainee to reach the finish line was less than 10 seconds behind the 6th place.

But it was less than 10 seconds that made him miss the last stick.

Qin Shi had an impression of this special training team member who arrived at the finish line with the 7th pick and the "9" Velcro on his arm.

His name is Liu Jiangchuan, the squad leader of the 3rd platoon and 1st squad of the Pioneer Company, and the oldest member of the entire special training class.

Liu Jiangchuan tried his best to complete every training subject, and tried to do his best, but age and physical fitness were his biggest constraints.

Originally, Qin Shi thought that he would not be able to survive the initial physical screening, but he persevered to the end.

"The graduation assessment of the special training class is over, and everyone is assembled!"

Ling Lin blew a whistle and ordered all the members of the special training class to assemble.

"No. 1, No. 52, No. 21, No. 4, No. 7, No. 16!"

Qin Shi looked at the six people who arrived at the finish line first and got the sticks, including Zhou Kai and Hou Monkey, and said, "Congratulations, you have successfully graduated from the special training class!" Qualified to participate in the selection of the Dragon Hidden Force! ”

"All of them!"

Zhou Kai looked at the remaining 11 members of the special training squad behind him and ordered: "Stand up!" Salute! ”

"Report!"

Su Hong, who was holding a "6" wooden stick in his hand and a "16" velcro on his right arm, shouted at Qin Shi, "I want to give up my selection qualifications to squad leader Liu, he ......"

"Bargaining, do you think this is a wet market?! If you don't want this qualification, you get out of the special training class now! ”

Before Su Hong's words were finished, he was interrupted by Qin Shi.

Qin Shi stared at Su Hong and asked, "Do you have any questions?" ”

"Report! No! ”

Su Hong stood up straight with a "snap" and replied loudly.

"Do you guys have any other questions?!"

Qin Shi looked up at the other 11 people and asked.

"Report! No problem! ”

The 11 members of the special training team replied in unison.

"If there is no problem, then disband!" Qin Shi ordered.

Ling Lin stepped forward and said to the 12 people: "I will let the boiler room boil hot water for you all the time, go back and take a bath and have a good rest." ”

12 members of the special training class were disbanded and walked into the "furnace".

Liu Jiangchuan stopped for a moment when he passed the table behind Qin Shi, which originally had six wooden sticks but was empty at the moment, with unwillingness and helplessness in his eyes.

"The old squad leader will be discharged from the army in April next year."

Ling Lin turned around, looked at Liu Jiangchuan's distant back, and said to Qin Shi: "He is a veteran, he was here when I came to the 'furnace'.

He has arrested drug dealers who crossed the border, and has been awarded a third-class individual meritorious service, and has also led a team to participate in emergency rescue and disaster relief, and has been awarded a second-class meritorious service for a group.

Every year he goes to participate in Long Yin's selection, but every year when he is in the primary selection, he is eliminated. The special training class was his last chance. ”

"With his age and physical fitness, even if he passes Long Yin's primary selection, he will be eliminated in the selection camp, and he won't even be able to pass the 'Hell Week' of the selection camp."

Qin Shi's words were very direct, but they were also true.

The selection of the Longyin troops was very cruel, and all of them were made of live ammunition, regardless of the casualty rate of the selection.

Zhao Tianyu, the current captain of the Longyin Army, once said, "Even if everyone is eliminated because of injury, the selection requirements will not be lowered!" ”。

"He knew he couldn't enter the Dragon Yin Army."

Ling Lin sighed and said, "He just wanted to go to the gate of the Long Yin army and take a look at those two sentences engraved on the wall outside the gate.

Every year, when new recruits enter the old squad leader's class, the old squad leader will tell them that we should know that the current national peace and security are not easy to come by, and we should be prepared to 'donate our lives to the country's disaster and see death as if we were going home'.

Next year, when the old squad leader retires from the army and leaves, the recruits who come back will not be able to listen to the old squad leader's class. ”

"Iron-clad battalions, flowing soldiers."

Qin Shi replied: "He will go, Zhou Kai will go, Hou Monkey will go, you will also go, everyone here will leave the barracks one day."

There are veterans leaving, and there will be new recruits coming. It doesn't matter who gives the recruits behind, as long as they don't forget, this spiritual inheritance will not be broken. ”

"Yes, we will all have a day when we take off our uniforms and return to society."

Ling Lin turned his head to look at Qin Shi and asked, "What about you?" ”

"Me?"

Qin Shi smiled lightly and said, "There are so many people in the world who want my life, and when I can't afford to hold a gun, I may die somewhere no one knows." ”

"You used to work hard for your sister, but what about in the future? Didn't you think there would be a family? ”

"Family? Not for me. ”

"Family" is too far away for me......
