"This is……"
Under the bridge,
The little beggar looked at the brand new two thousand yuan in his hand, raised his head, and stared blankly at Lu Baoyou in front of him.
Lu Baoyou said calmly, "This is the thank you gift for the ham sausage yesterday."
"But that sausage is only one dollar?"
“It’s delicious.”
“…”
"The bridge tunnel is too cold. Let's live somewhere else."
The little beggar pursed his lips, shook his head decisively, and stuffed the money into Lu Baoyou's hand.
"This is too much. I can't accept it. I will be an adult in two months. By then I can support myself by working..."
Lu Baoyou took a step back lightly, and the little beggar couldn't touch his body at all.
He took one last look at the little beggar, turned around, picked up the black box at his feet, and walked away.
"Now that I have given you my thank-you gift, there is no reason to return it... If you really feel bad about it, you can return it to me next time we meet again."
"wait……"
Before the little beggar could finish his words, Lu Baoyou disappeared from her sight.
The little beggar opened his mouth, looked down at the two thousand yuan in his hand, and pursed his lips with some grievance.
"But you haven't told me your name yet..."
…
"Are we all present?"
"All ready."
Lin Qiye looked at the recruits lined up neatly in front of him and nodded slightly.
"Everyone get in the car."
The recruits quickly got on the bus, which started and drove them away into the distance.
Inside the carriage, the spirit and energy of the recruits were completely different.
Compared with the half-dead state three days ago, after experiencing a short but wonderful vacation, they are full of energy, with vitality and expectation in their eyes, and they seem to be ready to complete the remaining seven days of training.
"Hmm? This doesn't seem to be the route back to the training camp?"
"Indeed...where are we going?"
"We're getting further and further away from the training camp..."
The recruits sitting in the car quickly realized that something was wrong and started to communicate with each other.
But even Li Zhenzhen, who was closest to the instructors, looked confused. She had never heard Instructor Lin and Uncle Yuan mention it during the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Amid the recruits' confusion, the vehicle slowly stopped at a military airport.
A huge military transport plane has been waiting at the airport for a long time.
For some reason, the moment the recruits saw the transport plane, they suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.
"Take a plane? Where is Instructor Lin taking us?"
"Seven days of training? Isn't it training in a training camp?"
"We're already here, we definitely can't be in the training camp!"
"Did any of the previous training camps take the new recruits out for training by plane?"
"No, I really don't have this..."
“…”
Amid the whispers of the recruits, Lin Qiye and others, wearing crimson cloaks, calmly walked down from the car, stretched out their hands, and pointed at the military helicopter from a distance.
"Get on the plane."
Without saying what to do or the destination, these three simple words are filled with an irresistible majesty.
The recruits boarded the plane in an orderly and efficient manner without any objection.
A few minutes later, the plane's engine roared and it soared into the sky.
In the dead silent cabin, as the fuselage trembled slightly, the recruits felt more and more uneasy.
Finally, Lin Qiye slowly walked in front of everyone, with a smile on his face:
"I believe that you all had a good rest in the past three days... I hope that you can face the last seven days of training in the best mental state."
"Report!"
"speak."
"Coach Lin, where are we going?"
Lin Qiye's eyes swept across everyone's puzzled faces and he slowly uttered a few words:
“The Pamirs.”
Hearing this name, everyone present was stunned.
"The Pamir Plateau is located on the western border of Daxia, with an average altitude of 4,000 to 7,700 meters. At this time of year, the temperature on the mountain should be around minus 25 degrees Celsius." Lin Qiye said calmly:
"You will undergo seven days of devilish training there."
Hearing this, the recruit's face suddenly turned ugly.
Going to the mountains of the Pamirs for a hellish training? Is that a place where humans can survive?
"But instructor, we didn't bring anything except straight knives..."
"You don't need to bring anything." Lin Qiye said calmly, "In a while, each of you will receive a set of cold-proof clothing, a bottle of fresh water, several packs of compressed dry food, and a map with the route drawn. These will be the basic supplies to support your survival for the next seven days.
If you want more, you can only fight for it with your own ability... Of course, no matter what happens, you cannot steal any property of the local indigenous people, nor pose a threat to their life safety.
If I find this happening, I will personally smash your limbs and throw you into the fasting place."
Lin Qiye's tone was more serious than ever before.
"Then Instructor Lin, what exactly are we going to train on?"
"There is a route drawn on the map in each of your hands. Your mission is to walk along this route through the mountains of the Pamir Plateau and reach the top of Kongur Mountain within six days without using any forbidden items.
At midnight every day, we will conduct a ranking review. The eighty people at the end of the team will be eliminated and the training camp will be terminated early.
And these people...will be recycled by me to become Night Watchmen."
As soon as Lin Qiye finished speaking, the cabin fell into silence.
The recruits were stunned for a moment, their eyes widened in disbelief, "Reclaiming the qualifications to become Night Watchmen?!"
At twelve o'clock every night, the last eighty people will be eliminated... In other words, before the seventh day, four hundred and eighty recruits will be disqualified from becoming night watchmen?
This eliminated more than two-thirds of the new recruits!
"The punishment is the qualification to become a Night Watchman. Isn't that too much?" One of the new recruits couldn't help but speak up. "We have finally survived such a long period of training... If we are eliminated, won't all the hardship we have endured be in vain?"
"You should know that the number of new recruits recruited by the Night's Watch today is far more than in previous years." Lin Qiye's eyes swept over the new recruits calmly, "Why do you think this is?"
"Isn't it because war is coming?"
"This is only part of the reason." Lin Qiye said calmly, "Expanding enrollment is also to better select talents.
Can anyone tell me that war is coming, and if you are not capable enough to shoulder the responsibility of protecting Daxia, then why do you want to go to the battlefield?"
The freshmen fell silent and no one answered.
There was a barely perceptible flash of disappointment in Lin Qiye's eyes.
"In short, each of you must go all out to complete this training, and you must not attack each other, or trip up your teammates in any way, causing vicious competition."
