The intern nurse couldn't help but feel a little uneasy as she watched the soldiers marching in orderly rows towards her.
Don't misunderstand, it's not that I'm attracted, it's that I'm afraid. That restless and uneasy feeling is clearly perceptible even from this distance.
What kind of suffering do they endure on a daily basis?
The nurse couldn't help but simulate it in her mind, and then she gasped.
She secretly admired the soldiers who remained calm and composed. She looked at the transparent, water-like potion in her hand, hoping that they could successfully leave this time.
Qi Rui was naturally the first to step up. He rolled up his sleeves and presented his strong arms to the nurse. Putting everything else aside, Qi Rui's physique was truly well-trained.
The veins on his strong, wheat-colored arms were prominent, making him a promising candidate for acupuncture.
A moment later, the clear liquid was injected into the vein. Qi Rui took the cotton swab and went to find his superior. After the group finished their injections, they sat in the observation room chatting and laughing. A tall guy nudged the crew-cut guy next to him with his shoulder.
Do you think we'll really be able to leave successfully this time?
Disturbed from his sleep, the crew-cut man drowsily opened his eyes and lazily said, "Don't you have any self-awareness? We've heard this so many times, and you still have hope?"
The tall man immediately became displeased upon hearing this and launched into a lecturing mode.
“People should have hope for life. Don’t you miss your family? I miss my mom so much. I wouldn’t have come to this lousy place if I hadn’t had no other choice.”
The man with the buzz cut forced a smile. Who among them didn't have no choice in coming here?
They have no other way out but to join the army. Staying at home would only hurt their families, and their families cannot afford the high cost of sending them to a sanatorium.
Wealthy people don't need to join the army; they have many other options. But for those of them who have nothing but aggression and a high level of mental strength, the only thing they can do is come to the military camp and train hard.
With a bit of luck, I might be able to make some contribution to protecting my country in the future, and then, through my military status, secure some benefits for my family.
Thinking about this, the man with the buzz cut grew increasingly upset. He stood up abruptly and walked towards the testing station.
"It's time for me to get tested."
The tall man to the side stared blankly at the departing man with the buzz cut. He stretched out a hand.
"Didn't I hit you right in front of you? I only lasted 27 minutes, how come you've already lasted 30 minutes? Come back, come back! What if you don't allow it later?"
The buzz cut doesn't care. The difference between 27 minutes and 30 minutes is only 3 minutes. What's meant to be effective has already been effective, and what's not meant to be effective probably won't be effective anyway.
With no hope in his heart, the man with the crew cut knew what his hesitant comrades were expecting and what they were afraid of, just by looking at them.
They wanted to wait a little longer for the medicine to take effect, but they decided to give up; it was all impossible, and there was no going back no matter what.
The man with the buzz cut stood in front of the nurse with a cold expression. "It's been 30 minutes."
The intern nurse was taken aback. She glanced at her watch; if it was the earliest one, it had been exactly 30 minutes. However...
"Shouldn't we wait a little longer? The medication might..."
"Need not."
The man with the buzz cut coldly interrupted the nurse, "Go ahead and do the test."
The intern nurse was already a pushover, and seeing the cold, indifferent buzz cut, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to offer any words of advice.
The silver-white metal instrument glided across the green arm, and with a beep, the data began to change in the window.
The young nurse was completely focused on observing the man with the buzz cut beside her, but didn't care at all.
Suddenly, he heard the nurse gasp. The man with the buzz cut blinked and turned away, pretending not to care.
Several officers who had been too afraid to look at the data immediately gathered around the nurse.
"What, could it be, could it be that it's too late?"
"No, no, no."
The intern nurse, seeing the group of soldiers immediately surrounding her, quickly waved her hand. She understood what they meant and apologized profusely.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this instrument is out of power. I don't know why, it was just charged before we came out."
Oh, that's not it after all.
The group of officers around him, who were anxiously waiting for the result, immediately looked away in disappointment. The glimmer of hope that had appeared in the crew-cut man's eyes was completely shattered, making him seem like a joke.
"Excuse me, I'll go get the new one right now."
The man with the buzz cut nodded indifferently.
After this failed test, he didn't even wait for the results.
"My number is b5321. Just fill in the results here. I'm leaving now."
The intern nurse immediately looked up from the instrument in her hand, watched as the man with the buzz cut finished speaking and turned to walk away, saying a few words.
"No, is it that urgent? Can't we wait even a second or two?"
The young nurse lowered her head helplessly, then took a closer look and gasped again. This time, the officers beside her were no longer fooled, because it made them look a bit silly.
Another nurse standing nearby looked a little embarrassed and quickly ran over.
"What's wrong? Is the power out again?"
"No, no,"
The intern nurse shook her head repeatedly, "Sister, look at this!"
Another nurse was looking down at the data when she heard the younger nurse beside her ask hesitantly,
"If I remember correctly, as long as the data doesn't reach 2000, it can be approved, right?"
The nurse on the other side stared wide-eyed, nodding in bewilderment. The two of them realized what was happening at the same time.
They both looked up at the same time and reached out their hands.
"Brother, come back quickly, you've gone too far!!!"
What! ! ! !
The crew-cut man, who had already walked away, didn't hear it. The other officers, who were still whispering and hesitating nearby, all raised their heads one by one, like bamboo shoots sprouting from the soil, their eyes shining like wolves.
"He passed! He really passed!?"
"Yes, yes! Where is he? Where is he?!"
"Give me one test first, then I'll go call him back when I'm done!!!"
The silver-white instrument beeped again.
One second
Two seconds
Three seconds
"The value is..."
The officer's eyes were full of expectation.
"1895!!!"
For a moment, the officer was somewhat confused as to whether he had passed or failed, until his colleague next to him gave him a hard punch on the shoulder.
"Damn, if you can pass, then I can too!!!"
"Then let me go first, let me go first!!!"
In an instant, the testing center, which had just been empty, became overcrowded.
The officer was practically weeping with joy; he wiped his face roughly.
"Damn it!!! I finally passed!!!"
A resounding cheer filled the hall, "Hahahahahahaha!!!"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call that person back!"
"OK!!!!"
"Old Chen! Why are you running so fast?!"
The man with the buzz cut turned around and saw the tall guy. He then turned his head away again and closed his eyes uninterestedly. "The tests are all done. What else can I do? I'm going to sleep. I finally got a few days off."
"Sleeping?! Sleeping?! Go report to your superior right now! You brat! You've been overstepped!!!"
For a moment, the man with the buzz cut was not quite there. What was wrong?
"Your score has successfully dropped below 2000!!!! I can do it too!!!!"
Upon hearing this, the man with the buzz cut raised his head in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly.
"What did you say?!"
