Volume 1 Nishihama Boy Chapter 26 Selection of the Weak
Feeling the attentive gaze of everyone, he nodded with satisfaction and continued:
"Don't leave anything to chance. Remember, as long as there are strong people here, people who have the ability to survive, and they don't serve the weak, they will never be. ”
"Finally, is anyone going to quit?"
"No, sir!"
"Go get the number plate, change into combat uniforms, and gather at the playground in an hour!"
The group was ordered to disband, and Second Lieutenant James walked into the instructor's building next to him, and his lieutenant stood up and saluted him, Second Lieutenant James waved his hand and said with a slight smile:
"These little creams don't know how hard it will be and what will happen next, they are excited and full of energy, and they are confident that they will pass the test, but unfortunately most of them will not be able to do it, because determination, courage, will, and ability to do the task are not easily acquired. ”
"Only petrels who have weathered storms are qualified to continue soaring in the sea, which is something that all recruits must go through. ”
The adjutant followed Second Lieutenant James's eyes and looked out the window and saw Yang Ji and Jiu Ling walking into the camp.
"I think they have what it takes to be a petrel. ”
Yang Ji and Jiu Ling were lining up for the number of the team leader, and Jiu Ling looked back at the opposite window with some inquiry, but saw nothing.
"Hey, look at that guy, he got the number 1! ”
Someone whispered not far away, and as his words grew, more people's eyes wandered to the number on his chest, and someone whispered: "I heard that the student who drew No. 1 has never passed, and he touched his head." ”
"It's ironic, but thank you. Yang Ji waved his hand over there and walked out under the gaze of surprise.
"You're really lucky, but no problem, we're not ordinary people. Jiu Ling got the No. 89, and he patted Yang Ji on the shoulder with a smile, disapproving.
"I'm really no different from a normal person. Yang Ji said with a bitter face.
The rain outside was still raining non-stop, and the dry clothes that had just been changed were quickly drenched again, and the uniforms against the dark sky were a bit solemn, but the crooked posture of some students on the playground completely destroyed this feeling, and the complaints began to ferment in the crowd, and obviously some people had a lot of complaints about this harsh black instructor.
"I know that you came from all walks of life and corners of the Federation before you took part in this training. There are cooks, clerks, and mechanics, but don't forget ......"
When this negative sentiment is about to spread further, the voice is like a slap in the face.
Everyone looked back, and saw that the tall figure of Ensign James appeared like a ghost, quietly emerging from the grass behind him, and the playground became silent with his appearance, and he slowly paced out, and continued:
"You are standing here, just as an ordinary person. You haven't fought, you're easily panicked, you're easily tortured by the environment, you're covered in wounds, you don't have the willpower and reflexes you have been trained, you don't have the basic ability to judge your position and reconnoitre, if I were an enemy, you'd have died just now!"
"No. 384, No. 5, No. 225, No. 600!!" Second Lieutenant James's voice was almost cold.
Horror flashed in the eyes of the few people who stood up, they were the loudest complaining just now, but they didn't expect it to be all in sight.
"Hand over the numbered plate and get out of here. ”
"Instructor, please give us another chance!" one of them saluted unwillingly and begged.
"The request is invalid, denied!"
Looking at these people handing over their belongings in frustration, and the backs of the gray departure, everyone was silent, even if they were killing chickens and monkeys, Ensign James's sternness was obvious to all.
"Remember it all for me, you can't talk about the commander, and you can't strain morale, today they just took off their uniforms, but when they go to the battlefield, they will be shot!"
"Yes, sir!"
The hearts of the people were awe-inspiring.
"Now, the training of the 784th cadets of the Zhenxi Army has officially begun!"
Second Lieutenant Jaime roared loudly as he stepped out of the instructor's building and began to distribute equipment to all the cadets.
Helmets, standard submachine guns, military water bottles, heavy backpacks...... In addition to these dazzling things, there is also a... Stakes.
It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a wooden stake as a log, it is about 3 meters long, enough for two people to hug together, and it was unloaded on the playground by military trucks and built into a hill.
Training item 1: Log lifting. Each 10 people lift a 1,100-pound (about 500 kilogram) log and follow the tester's instructions to complete all the assigned movements until the next command.
If you want to become a qualified soldier, you must first work your muscles and bones, this training seems simple, just work together to carry out repeated and repeated flat lifts, unilateral lifts, and endurance lifts on the logs, but the training intensity is accumulated over time, and the consumption of physical strength and willpower is far greater than imagined, so there is only one purpose - to select the weak.
Three movements, two hours of continuous training.
The rain kept falling, and the sweat kept dripping down Yang Ji's neck, and the nine collars of the other group also showed a struggling expression, and white steam came out of everyone on the playground, under the unremitting watering of the rain and sweat, finally someone took the lead and couldn't support the "wow" and knelt on the ground and began to vomit.
"Can you continue?" a blonde tester walked up to him and crouched down.
"I... Well, I can. The man's throat rolled, suppressing the nausea in his stomach.
"Clean it up immediately and go to the military doctor to check it out. ”
The blonde tester took out a pen and paper and instructed as he took notes.
The man nodded weakly and got up to leave, but the blonde tester stopped him in surprise and asked, "Why are you going?"
"Instructor, I'll go to the camp and get tools to clean up. ”
"Use your hands! If you're on a mission, do you want everyone to wait for them to be revealed? Who do you think you are?"
The blonde tester was furious and reprimanded unceremoniously.
The man's already pale face became more and more ugly, his clenched fist trembled slightly, and he stared at the vomit on the ground for a long time before he deflated: "I abstain." ”
"Give me your number plate. The blonde tester was expressionless, and held out his palm indifferently.
A similar scene takes place in the corners of the playground.
"Tell me, what kind of expression is this? I see on your face that I want to give up, be careful, I've got my eyes on you!"
"Why don't you crouch down? Are you lazy? Why don't you consciously switch heavy sides with your teammates?"
"No. 288, what are you doing? You're strong enough to lift a log with one hand? You're really good at helping your teammates!"
......
"All pause!" With the test officer's order, more than 20 people have chosen to give up in just two hours.
As they expected, this selection for the weak has just begun.
