Chapter 324 Let's take you down as an example. Everyone's eyes suddenly shifted from the fearsome new instructor to Zhang Kui's face, which had instantly turned liver-colored.
In those gazes, there was astonishment, sympathy, schadenfreude, and also pure amusement at the spectacle.
Zhang Kui felt his cheeks burning, as if he had been slapped twice in public.
The soldiers around him, including Li Erniu and Wang Dazhuang, who usually called him brother, moved half a step to the side as if avoiding a plague god.
damn it!
Those disloyal bastards!
Zhang Kui cursed Li Erniu and his kin for eighteen generations in his mind, but the current situation left him no time to think about it.
He became the focus of the entire event.
Everyone was looking at him.
The pretty-boy instructor whom he looked down on from the bottom of his heart was looking at him with a cold, emotionless gaze.
Lei Kuan, that living devil, also crossed his arms and looked at him expressionlessly.
Should we step forward or not?
Step forward. Who knows how this pretty boy is going to deal with me? A new broom sweeps clean, and I'm just handing myself a piece of firewood. Judging from his attitude, he's definitely not inviting me to dinner.
Not stepping forward? That's even worse! In front of the entire battalion, being called out by a new instructor and not daring to move—how could Zhang Kui ever face anyone in Battalion Three again? What about his reputation? Who would respect him after that?
Damn it, I'm going all in!
"Just a pretty boy, huh? Looks like he'd fall over in the wind. Do you think all that muscle I have is for nothing? Back in my village, I could single-handedly pin a crazed ox to the ground! Why would I be afraid of him?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Kui's fear and panic were instantly replaced by an even stronger sense of shame, anger, and arrogance.
He felt that this pretty boy was trying to make an example of him to establish his authority and warn others! But Zhang Kui wasn't a pheasant, he was a phoenix!
He gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and with his neck stiff, strode out of the line.
He deliberately took large strides, his fur-lined military boots making a heavy, loud sound as they pounded on the gravel, as if this gave him confidence and was also a silent show of defiance.
He stopped three meters away from Qin Ye, his two thick legs spread apart, his chin slightly raised at a 45-degree angle, and spoke in an extremely frivolous and provocative tone.
"Reporting, Instructor!" he deliberately drew out, each word carrying the slick tone typical of a soldier's scoundrel. "I wonder what instructions you have for calling me out?"
He emphasized the word "instructions" with particular force, making it sound sarcastic and unsettling.
As soon as he said that, Li Erniu and his buddies in the male soldiers' formation immediately let out a few suppressed laughs. Although they quickly swallowed them back, their shrugging shoulders betrayed them.
Gao Kai's brows furrowed instantly.
What an idiot!
They didn't even realize they were about to die!
Zhuo Yue, standing beside him, also looked grave. He lowered his voice and cursed at Xu Gaogui, saying, "This big oaf won't learn until he's faced with a fatal mistake. Do you think the people Lei Tou'er invited are any good? He's just offering his face to be slapped."
Xu Gaogui pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, his eyes behind the lenses filled with worry: "Zhang Kui is a typical example of someone who's all brawn and no brains. This time... he's probably going to suffer a great loss."
A small commotion broke out in the female soldiers' formation.
Wang Xiaoya said in a low voice, "Oh no, Su An, look, this Zhang Kui is like a rock in a latrine, stubborn and unyielding. He's definitely going to clash with the new instructor! Will the new instructor punish him? Make him run laps or put him in solitary confinement?"
Chen Xiaocao, who was timid, shrank back behind Su An in fright, muttering softly, "Please don't let them fight..."
Su An remained silent.
She simply watched quietly, looking at Qin Ye, who stood in front of Zhang Kui, his figure appearing somewhat thin.
