Chapter 317 Desperate to Take a Shortcut
"If the enemy attacks, are you going to tell them that you need to celebrate the New Year, take a break, and suspend the war?"
Lu Dong's sharp questioning shattered everyone's hopes for the New Year.
Guan An and the others all looked dejected; it would be a lie to say they weren't disappointed.
Although Su Jin didn't show much, her thoughts briefly drifted towards Xiao Yunfeng.
More than a week has passed since she returned from the hospital that day, and she doesn't know if Xiao Yunfeng has been discharged yet.
It wasn't convenient for her to go out with the action team, so she didn't visit again.
Besides, since Xiao Yunfeng has someone he likes, if she knew he was sick, she would definitely go and take care of him. Her not showing up is also giving them some space.
Lunar New Year's Eve.
The whistle for morning training rang out as usual.
The daily routine of running five kilometers has remained unchanged.
After breakfast, training continued on the training field.
In the afternoon, they even had an extra obstacle course practice session.
When Lu Dong announced the disbandment, everyone was exhausted and felt like they were falling apart.
"One last thing: you have one hour to change clothes, and then everyone should gather at the cafeteria."
After saying that, Lu Dong, Xu Xiao and the others left.
"What method are they planning to use to torment us this time?"
After all, it's still not dinner time an hour later.
"Even if you're going to make things difficult for us, you can't do it in the cafeteria, can you?"
"All I want to do right now is go back to my dorm and lie down quietly."
"You dare disobey the instructor's orders?"
"Of course... I wouldn't dare!"
Everyone was discussing it, and they needed to hurry up and take a shower and change their clothes.
Sun Heng found an opportunity to get close to Han Shizhong.
"Deputy Company Commander Han..."
Upon hearing this title, Han Shizhong interrupted him without any emotion, saying, "Don't call me that. Everyone is the same here. I'm not some deputy company commander."
Sun Heng looked a little embarrassed, but he still moved closer to him and stuffed a pack of high-end cigarettes into his hand.
"What are you doing?" Han Shizhong frowned as he looked at the cigarette in his hand.
Sun Heng spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Deputy Company Commander Han, can we team up for next week's team mission? I promise I won't hold you back!"
Everyone knew that the action team's training camp was about to end, and this was their last chance to boost their score.
Even though he's now ranked in the top ten, he can't let his guard down just to be on the safe side.
Han Shizhong understood what he meant.
She was trying to bribe him with a pack of cigarettes.
"I don't know how the team will be formed yet, so I can't accept this!"
Sun Heng quickly explained, "A pack of cigarettes isn't worth much, and I've long considered Deputy Captain Han a friend."
Han Shizhong hesitated for a few seconds, then put the cigarette in his pocket.
Sun Heng smiled with satisfaction.
Once he had distanced himself from Han Shizhong again, Li Kai, who was walking a little behind, came to Han Shizhong's side.
"Did that kid give you a gift?"
Clearly, he had seen what the two had just done.
Han Shizhong calmly said, "If you want to curry favor with me, team up with me."
Li Kai scoffed at this behavior, saying, "These new recruits are all problematic. Instead of thinking about how to improve their individual skills and compete fairly, they only want to take shortcuts."
Han Shizhong remained noncommittal, "However, compared to Qian Wei and the others, Sun Heng is not bad; at least he has some ambition."
Those few are truly hopeless; even if they put on military uniforms, they only have the appearance of soldiers, not the substance.
