At 11:55, Battalion Commander Zhang finally appeared on the training ground. Seeing that only Zhang Juan and the other two had not finished, he asked, "How many groups are left?"
Zhang Juan replied weakly, "Five groups left."
"Those who haven't finished their work, keep working. The rest of you can go have lunch and disband." Battalion Commander Zhang said, then headed towards the dining hall. Soon, only Liang Yiyi and a few others were left on the playground.
"Liu Wenliang, take them to eat first. I'll just stay here with her. We still have training in the afternoon, so we can't skip dinner." Liang Yiyi ordered.
"Let's go together after she's done. We can't leave you alone." Before Liu Wenliang could say anything, Zhang Yuan spoke first. What a joke! This is his own sister. How could he watch his sister and Yi Yi starve while he went to eat first? This is too unfair.
"Are you guys stupid or what? There will be no food in the cafeteria by the time Zhang Juan finishes cooking. If you five go now, and each of you put a steamed bun in your pocket after eating, that will be enough for the two of us. You will starve with us and then be punished together if you don't have the energy in the afternoon. Then there will be no one to help us steal food. That will be fun, right?" Liang Yiyi said angrily.
Several people suddenly felt ashamed, so they ran towards the cafeteria without saying a word. Judging from the speed at which they ran, they did not look like they were starving to death at all.
After watching the others walk away, Zhang Juan started her training again. There were only five sets left anyway, so she could get through it by gritting her teeth.
Finally, when she finished these sets of movements, Zhang Juan's legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. She was no longer in the mood to say anything. With the support of Liang Yiyi, she walked towards the dormitory step by step. She was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to say a word. She just wanted to lie on the bed and have a good rest.
After entering the dormitory, Zhang Juan didn't even take off her shoes and lay down on the bed. Liang Yiyi felt helpless and opened her cabinet and took out a package of cooked food. These were all prepared in advance before coming to the military camp. Of course, the things in the cabinet were just for show. In fact, all the things were placed in the space. If Zhang Juan didn't replenish her energy in time at noon, she would not be able to endure the training in the afternoon. Liang Yiyi opened the package and patted Zhang Juan's hand. Zhang Juan opened her eyes and saw, "Ah, roast chicken, Yiyi, where did you get the roast chicken! Yiyi, you are so good to me! I love you so much!" This time she didn't care about lying down. She sat up from the bed and ran to the bathroom. After a simple cleaning, she sat down at the desk, stretched out her hand to tear off a chicken leg, and stuffed it into her mouth. In the past few days in the army, her body consumption was too great, and she had been craving for these meats. Liang Yiyi saw it and hurriedly poured her a cup of hot water and put it on the table, then advised: "Eat slowly, your brother and the others have brought steamed buns, I'll go out and get them, don't choke again!" Zhang Juan nodded in response hurriedly.
Liang Yiyi heard Zhang Yuan's shout just now, and she quickly walked out of the dormitory. Sure enough, Zhang Yuan and Liu Wenliang were standing in front of the dormitory building. I guess the others had gone back to the dormitory to rest. When they saw Liang Yiyi coming out, they quickly handed over the steamed buns in their hands. Liang Yiyi didn't hesitate to take the buns and told them to go back and rest quickly before quickly returning to the dormitory.
Liang Yiyi and Zhang Juan ate their fill with chicken and a few steamed buns, and since they still had time, they took a rest in the dormitory.
At 1:30 p.m., the assembly bell rang. The afternoon was supposed to be bomb-dropping training, but before the training, Battalion Commander Zhang announced that in three days, the three battalions in the regiment would be holding a wilderness survival competition. The competition would see which battalion could reach the finish line with the most men, and there would be surprise attacks along the way. In short, it was a test of the soldiers' overall abilities. Originally, this was a small contest between the first and second battalions, but they were caught discussing it by Third Battalion Commander Wang Wenchuan, and it ended up being a combined competition for all three battalions, which seemed to be a bit of a big deal.
The veterans were accustomed to this kind of competition; the regiment held it several times a year, and occasionally the entire military region would even hold a large-scale exercise. But the new soldiers were quite excited. Who wouldn't want to perform well and get a good score in the competition? After all, who wouldn't want to strive for excellence? Upon hearing this news, Jia Dongsheng and Zhao Gang also became excited. Although they knew their skills couldn't compare to the veterans in the army, they were quite interested in wilderness survival. Therefore, the soldiers were more enthusiastic than each other in the afternoon bombing training, and their performance improved significantly compared to the previous two days.
At 8:30 in the evening, after returning to the dormitory from a five-kilometer light cross-country run, Zhang Juan asked, "Yi Yi, do you think we can participate in this competition?"
"Why not? We are soldiers in the same battalion now, so of course we have to participate." Liang Yiyi said.
"But we just arrived and there are still many things we haven't learned!" Zhang Juan said with a pout.
"What are you afraid of? No one said that we have to get first place. Isn't it said that participation is the important thing? Just try your best." Liang Yiyi comforted.
"You don't know how I feel. This may be the only time in my life that I will participate in a competition in the army. Of course I want to get a good result. The college entrance examination results will come out in two days and I will have to fill out the application form. Thinking about going to another school to go to college in the future and then separating from you, I really want to change my application." Zhang Juan said.
"You should stop daydreaming. Going to Peking University has been your dream since childhood, and now it's almost coming true. What else do you have to complain about? Go get some sleep! We have training tomorrow, and you won't be able to cope without a good night's rest." Liang Yiyi said, grabbing her change of clothes and heading to the bathroom. Since they were the only two female soldiers in the entire camp, they shared the dormitory, and they had their own private bathroom, which was quite convenient. As for the wilderness survival competition Zhang Juan was worried about, she didn't care at all. Back when she was in the assassin organization, she'd experienced survival training in the jungle numerous times. They'd throw dozens of trainees into the jungle, each given a dagger and a gun, and forced them to fend for themselves. They had to be constantly wary of the wild beasts, as well as the assassins who were also left behind. They could shoot you in the back at any moment, and only one-tenth of the total number of people would survive. If you didn't take the initiative, you'd end up being the one to die. Compared to that, this competition was child's play!
Lights out at nine o'clock in the evening had already sounded. Zhang Juan fell asleep in bed within five minutes. Liang Yiyi heard her breathing steady and knew she was asleep. After cleaning himself up, Liang Yiyi quietly left the dormitory and headed straight for the mountain behind the camp. That was where they practiced armed cross-country running during the day. There were many trees along the way. Liang Yiyi had been there several times in the past few days, so it was no stranger to him.
d..q, wonderful!( = )
