Chapter 93: Washing smelly socks with a bruised face is fine, but helping other bugs...
It’s okay to wash smelly socks, but washing them for other bugs is a double torture, both physically and mentally.
Female insects have strong five senses, and the smelly socks that are already deadly to insects are even more unbearable. Female insects repel each other, and no one wants to wash the smelly socks of the same sex.
A bug wailed, "Lieutenant Mike, let's change the punishment. This one is really unacceptable!"
The bug was elbowed by its companion: "What are you afraid of? The only ones who should be afraid are the new recruits. Go and beat them up, then you won't have to wash yourself!"
Chong curled his lips. It sounds nice. New recruits have little experience and are indeed easy to beat, but it's better to be safe than sorry. What if he loses? Even if he talks so nicely, I'm definitely not going to help him clean up!
Parker didn't want the reward. He didn't want the female insect to wash his smelly socks any more than he wanted to wash other insects' smelly socks.
He likes white and soft male insects, so what's wrong with a same-sex person washing his socks?
Parker said a little embarrassedly, "Lieutenant Mike, can you change the punishment?"
Mike glanced at him and said, "Why, you don't want to wash other people's smelly socks?"
Parker shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I'm just afraid that if I win, I don't want to have my socks washed by other bugs."
Mike raised his eyebrows in surprise, wondering if the bug was really capable or if it was just a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger.
Mike nodded and looked at Parker with satisfaction. "Not bad, kid. I'm very optimistic about you. This is how a military woman should be!"
"Since you don't want it, then let's do this. If you lose, you'll still have to wash someone else's stinky socks, but if you win, you can decide the reward. How about that?"
Parker's eyes lit up with joy as he nodded repeatedly, "Second Lieutenant, once you've spoken, you can't go back on your word. It's settled then!"
Behind them, Lin Xi and Muas were whispering, "Parker's showing off again. Wait till he gets humiliated."
Muas glanced at him sideways and said, "We're brothers after all, don't you hope he wins?"
Lin Xi shrugged: "I'm speaking from the facts. The facts are like this. Even if I praise him to the hilt, he still can't win."
The surrounding female soldiers looked very excited. Muas hinted at them subtly: "That's true. After all, they all want to beat us up."
Lin Xi patted his wife's shoulder and said, "They really want to beat us up, but honey, you are the best. I believe in you."
Muas smiled faintly: "Even if we can't win, we can still draw. I don't have to worry about it. What about you?"
Lin Xi raised his hand and pointed at his head and said, "There's really no other way. I can only use the golden finger. Who made me so weak?"
Muas shook his head helplessly. He was used to it. It would be strange if the other party didn't cheat one day.
"If you can't resist, just admit defeat." It feels like the punishment for cheating will be more severe if it's discovered.
"Washing stinky socks is a small matter, but losing face is a big deal." Lin Xi gave Muas a meaningful look, "Do you want me to wash socks for other female insects?"
Muas's expression changed slightly, and then he changed his mind: "You're right, let's just beat them up."
If he is caught cheating, he will take the punishment.
There's nothing wrong with the hero, he just likes to play a little.
The first one to go on stage was Parker, who volunteered to be the first to go on stage.
Parker was ready to fight in the field. As for fighting skills, his performance was pretty good compared to mecha operation, and it was more than enough for him to last for ten minutes.
But Parker clearly overestimated his abilities.
"Ah! How could you hit me in the face!" Parker covered the bleeding corner of his mouth. The wound was burning with pain. It felt like his jawbone was broken. It would definitely not heal in two days.
Parker felt that the veteran in front of him was not here to spar, but to kill insects.
The old soldier grinned. "Are you still a half-baby? You're grimacing and screaming after just one punch. Remember, this is military headquarters, a place of life and death, not your military academy. Protecting bugs like they're your eyeballs is no different from playing house."
It is customary for veterans to fight new recruits. It is not only a unique welcome ceremony for them, but also a lesson for them to face the reality that the battlefield is not a joke.
They were still smiling and joking in the previous second, and the next second they were separated from life and death without a trace left. If they wanted to go to the battlefield, they had to be prepared to disregard life and death.
You need to adjust your mindset as soon as possible. Don't wait until you actually go to the battlefield to realize that you are afraid of death. If you become a deserter, your life will be over.
"Do you want to continue?" The old soldier hooked his finger provocatively.
Parker was indeed irritated. He released his hands from covering his face and said seriously, "Of course I have to continue. I'm not afraid of being scared!"
The harsh words came out quickly, and Parker took a deep breath, but his jaw hurt a little after he finished speaking.
The veteran smiled and said, "Good boy, you have spirit!"
But whether this momentum is real or just a facade, he has to experience it for himself.
It turned out that Parker was really powerful, and I felt relieved.
But experience is experience. How can a young person with little experience compare to a veteran who has fought in countless battles?
The veteran learned how to survive, and every move he made was a killing move, but everyone was a colleague and there was no deep hatred, so he had already restrained himself.
Parker was knocked to the ground again, grimacing in pain. He felt as if his butt was broken into eight pieces!
"Are you coming?" asked the old soldier.
Parker slowly got up from the ground, staggered to his feet, and spat out a mouthful of blood foam, saying: "Come!"
The old soldier raised his eyebrows: "You can hardly stand, and you still come?"
Parker coughed and said sarcastically, "Why, you can't do it anymore?"
If you are a real female insect, you can’t say no!
The veteran said nothing more and launched a flying kick at Parker, who dodged it narrowly by turning sideways.
Wylie was a little anxious: "Why doesn't Parker admit defeat? If we continue fighting, there will be problems!"
Sander also frowned.
Wylie said worriedly, "Sander, why don't we persuade Parker to admit defeat?"
Sander shook his head. "I'm afraid he won't listen."
Wylie was worried and puzzled: "Why on earth wouldn't Parker admit defeat?"
Sander said, "I'm afraid of washing other bugs' socks."
Wylie's eyes widened: "Didn't he say it didn't matter?"
Sander said simply, "You're a liar."
Wylie: "..."
I didn't expect Parker to be so concerned about his reputation.
The new recruit was a stubborn ass, and the veteran was really afraid of hurting him. He was probably distracted and heard what his companion said. He gave up halfway through the fight and said, "Forget it, let's call it a draw. I've never seen such a shameless person who doesn't care about his life."
The veteran walked away, and Parker lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.
The veterans around him tutted, "Although his skills are terrible, he has a stubborn temper. This is the true insect of our Fifth Legion."
"Keep it up! Don't be like the Eighth Legion, a bunch of wimps."
"Although my strength is low, my ambition is strong. I can barely pass this test."
"The opponent has left, why aren't you getting up yet?"
A bug stepped forward to take a look, twitched its mouth and said, "He fainted."
The veterans sighed in unison: "Your physical fitness is a bit poor, you still need to go back and practice more."
Although Parker was very bad, the veteran did not continue to mock him openly or indirectly.
But it still makes the insect feel a little embarrassed. To put it nicely, it would rather die than surrender. To put it bluntly, it is showing off without any ability.
"Carry him to the infirmary." Lieutenant Mike said, and several insects carried Parker away.
The new recruit was knocked unconscious on the first day of entering the camp. It’s not nice to tell others about it. I hope the following guys can be more resilient.
Next up were Sander and Wylie.
After all, Sander was a combat type, and his physique had been greatly enhanced. Although it was a bit difficult for him to withstand the veteran's attack, it was only for ten minutes, and he finally held on.
He was also beaten with a black eye and bruises all over his body, and was helped by Chong to the infirmary.
Huai Li studied medicine and had a poor physical condition. Even though he knew some close combat skills, his physical condition was his biggest weakness and he was quickly defeated.
However, the veteran who fought with him was much gentler when he learned that the other party was studying medicine.
Huai Li will definitely be assigned to work in the medical room. He would rather offend his boss than offend the doctor.
There were no injuries on Huai Li's face, but he was in great pain all over and was dragged to the infirmary by the bugs.
"There are only two of you left. Who will go first?" Mike looked at Linxi and Muas.
Lin Xi took a step forward, held his head high and said, "I'll go first."
Lieutenant Mike nodded: "Okay, come on."
Muyas said worriedly, "Be careful. If you can't win, just admit defeat."
"Don't worry, I know my limits." Lin Xi smiled and said, "The powerful insects always appear last. I'll help you explore the way first."
"Okay." Muas nodded.
The veteran that Lin Xi was going to fight was not very tall, but his muscles bulged and he looked very strong.
In fact, Leo is really strong.
The first three fights were not very exciting, so Leo came on the field knowing that there was a very good recruit among the five bugs, but he didn't know who it was.
The above information was kept secret, and Leo only heard the news vaguely. He heard that the marshal was very fond of it and made an exception to recruit three more soldiers. Presumably, the strength of this insect was quite good.
"I heard that you were specially recruited because you saved two male insect gentlemen?" Leo said.
Lin Xi said modestly, "It's not bad, it's good. It was mainly because the Fifth Legion was able to contain the pirates that we were able to take advantage of it."
"Yes, then it is. No, then it isn't. What do you mean by getting a bargain?" Leo said, a little unhappy. "Boy, humility is a good thing, but excessive modesty is a bit ungrateful. Don't we deserve to hear the truth? Your Excellency the Male Insect is so precious, and he even rescued two of us. This achievement is indeed enviable, but there's no need to hide it."
Lin Xi understood. It turned out that this bug was jealous of him and thought that his military achievements were flashy and unrealistic.
Lin Xi was no longer modest. "You're right. I should be proud of it. We were the ones who saved you two. We went through so much hardship, and I contributed the most. How about that? Honesty enough, right?"
Lin Xi spoke very arrogantly. The other party gave him steps, so he went down the mountain and blew up the steps by the way, making it impossible for the insects to go up or down.
