Chapter 17: Alternative Military Training

In the dormitory, Lan Ximeng was slumped on the bed with a haggard look on her face.

Now she just felt sore all over and didn't even want to move.

Although Julia, who slept in the bunk below her, was even more miserable than Lan Ximeng, it did not stop her from gloating over her misfortune.

"Hey, Xiao Meng, you've also experienced our pain, hahaha."

Every time I see Lan Ximeng running to get them meals after training, I feel touched and admired.

Her lively appearance was such a provocation to those of them who seemed to have been drained of their energy.

Lan Ximeng felt her body gradually getting better and began to gently massage her sore muscles.

"Your massage is canceled today." Lan Ximeng usually gives muscle massages to the other three people in the dormitory to relieve soreness.

"Ah, no, I'm sorry for the offense just now. Please forgive me for my pitiful appearance." Julia pleaded pitifully.

"I'm on top of you, I can't see anything." Lan Ximeng sat on the bed and stretched, and soon her muscles were no longer sore.

I don’t know if it’s because of my strong physical fitness or the energy food, but my recovery ability is too strong.

In modern times, she would be paralyzed for three days.

Although he didn't give Julia a massage, after giving Wang Chunlei two massages, he still gave her a massage under Julia's flattery.

......

September 26, 2024, there are three days left until the end of military training.

Lan Ximeng and her group were brought to an empty room.

42 people stood in a line, their postures as straight as pine trees and their eyes determined.

It's a world of difference compared to a month ago.

The instructor nodded in satisfaction and said, "Although you are still a long way behind the new recruits, you are already more than half as good as before."

"Do you want to know why I brought you here?"

"Think!" everyone shouted in unison.

"Very good." The instructor raised his hand, and dozens of game cabins suddenly rose from the ground in the originally empty room.

At the instructor's command, Lan Ximeng and the others lined up next to the game cabin.

"Stand at attention! Stand at ease!"

"You will be conducting a three-day exercise. We have prepared enough nutrients for three days in the warehouse."

"Listen, your mission is simple. Transport the target back to the base safely."

"Did you understand?"

"clear!"

Lan Ximeng lay down in the game cabin and found that this one was different from the ones at home. Instead, it was very similar to the ones in the warship.

My consciousness entered the warehouse, and when I opened my eyes I found myself still in the original room.

The difference is that the room now does not have neatly arranged game compartments.

Lan Ximeng looked around and found that she and her classmates were all using their original appearances.

Students who entered the game one after another also began to watch back and forth.

Everyone consciously lined up in an orderly manner according to the military training sequence.

Isn't it time to complete the mission?

What is the situation now?

"Hello, I'm the commander of this operation, my last name is Wei."

A man in a major's military uniform stood in front of Class 3, with a tense face as he looked at the dozens of students in front of him who were looking around with clear eyes.

Lan Ximeng looked up when she heard the familiar voice and surname.

Oh wow, isn’t this Colonel Wei Huaiyu from the Fourth Army?

Are the NPCs in this game designed based on reality?

Wei Huaiyu also saw Lan Ximeng, but he didn't make eye contact and continued, "We have received a mission to transport an experimental product to the first base."

Ah, it seems to be me.

While Wei Huaiyu was speaking, there were continuous sounds of artillery fire outside.

Along with the sound, the ground shook violently.

The students who were originally arranged neatly began to sway back and forth due to the vibration and could not stand still.

The bombardment caused the building to shake and the windows to bang sharply.

"What's going on?"

"What kind of gun is this? It's so exciting."

"Is the game based on the base where we trained in the military?"

As the classmates chattered one after another, the discipline learned in military training was suddenly forgotten because they were just playing games.

"Quiet!"

"stand at attention!"

Lan Ximeng and others stood at attention subconsciously when they heard the order, and the others did not dare to do anything else after seeing Wei Huaiyu's serious expression.

"The base is being attacked by monsters right now, you still have time to waste here!"

"Listen carefully, this is not a drill." Wei Huaiyu looked at the freshmen in front of him seriously.

"This is your mission objective."

A space bracelet appeared in front of Wei Huaiyu. He held the bracelet and continued, "There is an important test product inside. It is an important basis for whether we can win this war."

"All you have to do is escort it safely to its destination. I will arrange for someone to escort you along the way."

"Listen carefully. No matter what, you must protect it even if you die. Don't let the enemy take it away."

"Squad leader, step out." Wei Huaiyu shouted.

"Yes." A tall boy stood up. He was Hu Yong, the monitor of Class 3.

"Take it and return it."

"Soldiers, take up your weapons and fight for the future!"

After Wei Huaiyu finished speaking, he picked up his weapon and walked to the door. He turned his back to everyone and said firmly: "The future depends on you!"

After saying this, he opened the door and ran out.

The students from Class 3 who were left behind were amazed at the weapons that suddenly appeared in their hands.

"Wow, this is the latest energy gun 9857. I didn't expect that I could own it so easily."

“That’s right. You can’t buy it in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds even if you want to.”

"Hey brother, you play this game too. Let's add each other as friends and play together after the military training."

"It's settled."

Lan Ximeng glanced at the gun in her hand. She had played with this gun countless times when she was on the warship.

Now she wanted to know what Wei Huaiyu had just said.

I don’t know if he was embarrassed or not, but she was quite embarrassed for him.

A lively person pretended to be profound and said a lot of words.

Wei Huaiyu who walked away didn't know that someone was embarrassed for him. Now he was awkwardly holding on to the wall and tapping the ground with his feet.

"Okay, classmates, the game has begun, let's start playing." said class monitor Hu Yong.

"Where do we go to find someone to escort us?" a girl raised her hand and spoke.

"I want to know that, too."

"Everyone, look at the bracelet. There is a map inside." Alice noticed the bracelet that suddenly appeared in her hand early in the morning. This bracelet would cost over 100,000 yuan in reality.

I didn't expect that Alice could bring famous goods in the game.

Lan Ximeng also saw the instructions on the bracelet, and she wanted to go out and follow them now.

But this is a class action and she can't leave the team without permission.

At this time, the squad leader came over and talked to Lan Ximeng.

"Student Lan, you will be the one guarding this bracelet. You are the most capable person in our class." As a person who aspires to join the army, he admires Lan Ximeng's abilities.

Although he really wanted to guard it personally, as the squad leader he needed to see the overall situation.

Lan Ximeng took the bracelet and put it on her other hand.

"Students, be quiet. We are going to take action now." Hu Yong stood up and said to the noisy crowd, "Although we are playing a game, I hope you don't take it lightly. We need to take it seriously. Do you hear me?"

"Let's go and reunite with the escort now!"

"Tsk, he's just a class monitor, why are you so proud?" Zhang Xin, a boy who doesn't get along with Hu Yong, said disdainfully. What's the point of taking it seriously? It's just a game.

Hu Yong heard what Zhang Xin said, but ignored him, picked up his weapon and started looking outside the house.

When the people walking in front saw the scene outside the house, they were stunned.
