Chapter 1657: Everyone Is Training Hard

When Li Ziyang heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at instructor Qin Yuan. His eyes shone with determination, as if he had found his direction and goal at this moment.

"Instructor, I was wrong. I underestimated the strength and perseverance of my comrades, and also underestimated my own potential. From now on, I will train hard, challenge my limits, and strive to become a qualified soldier as soon as possible!" Li Ziyang His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was swearing an oath to instructor Qin Yuan and to himself.

Instructor Qin Yuan looked at Li Ziyang, a hint of relief and appreciation flashed in his eyes. He knew that Li Ziyang truly understood the spirit and meaning of a soldier at this moment. He patted Li Ziyang on the shoulder and said: "Li Ziyang, I believe you can do it. As long as you persist and train hard, you will be able to become an excellent soldier. Remember, the spirit of a soldier is to never Give up and move forward!"

On the playground.

"Finally I have a chance to breathe." Li Ziyang sat slumped on the playground, looking at his comrades who went to drink water and replenish supplies, and thought to himself.

Just then, the sound of rapid footsteps interrupted his thoughts. Yue Ming, his good friend and comrade-in-arms, ran over sweating profusely, but his face was filled with an indescribable excitement and expectation.

"Ziyang, get up! Stop sitting there. We have big projects waiting for us today!" Yue Ming said as he reached for Li Ziyang.

Li Ziyang was stunned and looked up at Yue Ming, his eyes filled with disbelief: "What? There's another big project? This morning exercise is cruel enough, what else do you want?"

Yue Ming chuckled and said mysteriously: "You don't know this, do you? The morning run with weights is just a warm-up, the real challenge is yet to come! I heard that today there will be a mire return run and strength training in the mire. , it’s exciting to think about it!”

When Li Ziyang heard this, his expression changed, and an indescribable fear and resistance surged in his heart. Quagmire? Turnaround? Strength training? The combination of these words is like a nightmare.

"I can't... I really can't..." Li Ziyang shook his head, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Yue Ming didn't seem to hear his rejection. He pulled him up and said earnestly: "Ziyang, have you forgotten why we are here? We are here to become real soldiers and to fight on the battlefield. To protect ourselves and our comrades. Although these trainings are difficult, they are all to make us stronger and more able to adapt to the battlefield environment. You can't just give up!"

Yue Ming's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Ziyang's heart. He was stunned, and his eyes gradually became firm. Yes, he can't just give up. He is a soldier, and he must have the responsibility and courage of a soldier.

At this moment, other comrades-in-arms also gathered around, their faces equally filled with excitement and anticipation. They talked about the upcoming mud training as if it were a grand carnival.

"Ziyang, come together! Let's challenge ourselves together and become stronger together!" A comrade patted Li Ziyang on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Yes! Let's go together! Nothing can stop us from moving forward!" Another comrade also echoed.

Encouraged by Yue Ming and other comrades, the fear and resistance in Li Ziyang gradually dissipated. He took a deep breath, stood up, and said with firm eyes, "Okay! I'm participating! Let's challenge ourselves together!"

However, at this moment, a cold and majestic voice suddenly sounded: "Li Ziyang, you don't need to participate today."

Everyone was stunned and turned to look. Instructor Qin Yuan was seen standing not far away, looking at Li Ziyang with cold eyes.

"Instructor, why? I want to participate in training, I want to become stronger!" Li Ziyang said eagerly.

Instructor Qin Yuan shook his head and said in a cold tone: "Everything is done step by step. Your condition today is not suitable for such high-intensity training. You have to take a look first and wait until you get used to it."

When Li Ziyang heard this, he felt an indescribable feeling of loss and unwillingness in his heart. He had clearly made up his mind to participate in training and challenge himself, so why did the instructor stop him?

"Instructor, I...I really want to participate..." Li Ziyang tried to argue.

However, instructor Qin Yuan seemed not to hear his words, turned and left, leaving only a cold word: "This is an order, execute it."

Li Ziyang froze on the spot, looking at instructor Qin Yuan's retreating back, his heart filled with helplessness and unwillingness. He knew that he could not disobey the instructor's order, so he could only stand aside silently, watching his comrades jump into the quagmire one by one and start their challenge.

In the quagmire, the figures of the comrades were struggling and rolling in the mud, but they seemed to be tireless, getting up again and again, and sprinting again and again. Their faces were covered with mud and water, but their eyes were extremely firm, as if they were declaring their tenacity and unyieldingness to the world.

Li Ziyang stood aside with mixed feelings in his heart. He envied the bravery and tenacity of his comrades, but was also ashamed of his own incompetence and cowardice. He knew that he couldn't just stand aside and watch, he also wanted to join this challenge, and he also wanted to prove his strength and courage.

So, he quietly walked around to the other side of the quagmire and found a relatively hidden position. He took a deep breath, jumped into the mire.

The muddy water instantly flooded his body, and the cold and sticky feeling made him shiver. However, he did not give up, but struggled hard to gain a foothold.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "Li Ziyang, what are you doing?"

Li Ziyang was stunned and looked up, only to see instructor Qin Yuan standing not far away, looking at him with cold eyes.

"Instructor...I...I just want to participate in training..." Li Ziyang explained.

However, instructor Qin Yuan did not listen to his explanation, but said coldly: "You are disobeying

Order, you know? As a soldier, it is your duty to obey orders. Do you think you can prove your strength by sneaking in? Wrong, you are kidding with your own life and the lives of your comrades. "

Instructor Qin Yuan's words pierced Li Ziyang's heart like ice picks, making him feel a sting. He knew that he was wrong. He should not disobey the instructor's orders, let alone play with his own life and the lives of his comrades.

"Instructor, I was wrong... I was really wrong..." Li Ziyang lowered his head, with a hint of trembling and regret in his voice.

Instructor Qin Yuan looked at Li Ziyang, with an imperceptible softness flashing in his eyes. He knew that Li Ziyang had good intentions and wanted to prove himself, but this method was wrong.

"Li Ziyang, remember, military training is rigorous and there is no room for sloppiness. If you want to become stronger, you must follow the training plan step by step and don't rush for quick success. Today, just stand by and watch. Learn how your comrades train," instructor Qin Yuan said earnestly.

When Li Ziyang heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that the instructor was caring about him and thinking about him. He nodded, silently stepped aside, and began to carefully observe the training of his comrades.

In the quagmire, the figures of the comrades struggled in the mud. Every sprint and every roll they made seemed to show Li Ziyang the tenacity and unyieldingness of soldiers. Li Ziyang watched their training, filled with admiration and yearning.

As time went by, the quagmire training gradually reached its climax. The comrades were exhausted one by one, but no one gave up. They all persisted and worked hard. Their figures were looming in the mud, as if they were engaged in a silent contest with the quagmire.

Li Ziyang stood aside, feeling an indescribable excitement and passion in his heart. He seemed to see his future figure, struggling in this quagmire and fighting side by side with his comrades.

As night falls, the lights in the camp are dotted, reflecting a peaceful and solemn scene. At dinner time, the cafeteria was very lively, and the recruits sat together, enjoying the most relaxing moment of the day. Li Ziyang sat among them, holding his job tightly in his hands, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. He didn't participate in training for almost the whole day, and his heart was full of guilt and self-blame.

"Come on, let's all drink more soup to replenish our bodies." Li Ziyang stood up, picked up a spoon, and took the initiative to serve soup to his comrades. His movements were deft and natural, as if it was no big deal.

The comrades were stunned. They didn't expect that this normally aloof and proud member of the sharp sword class would actually lower his body and serve them. For a moment, the cafeteria fell into a brief silence, and then burst into warm applause and cheers.

"Zi Yang, you are amazing!" Yue Ming was the first to react. He patted Li Ziyang on the shoulder, his face filled with admiration and gratitude.

Li Ziyang smiled sheepishly and said: "It's nothing, it's all what I should do. I couldn't participate in training today, and I feel very sorry. I feel better if I can do something for everyone."

At this time, instructor Qin Yuan walked in. He glanced around sharply and finally landed on Li Ziyang. There was a hint of satisfaction and approval in his eyes. He knew that Li Ziyang's ability to proactively serve his comrades showed that he was aware of his shortcomings and was willing to correct them.

"Li Ziyang, you performed very well today." Instructor Qin Yuan walked to Li Ziyang and said softly.

Li Ziyang was stunned and looked up at instructor Qin Yuan, his eyes flashing with surprise and gratitude. He didn't expect that the instructor would be so positive about his behavior.

"Thank you instructor for the compliment. I will continue to work hard." Li Ziyang said sincerely.

Instructor Qin Yuan nodded and said in a serious tone: "Humility is a good thing, but humility alone is not enough. As a soldier, you must have the courage to face challenges and the perseverance to overcome difficulties. In tomorrow's training, I hope you can Do your best and don’t leave yourself with any regrets.”

Hearing this, Li Ziyang felt an indescribable excitement and determination in his heart. He knew that the instructor's words spurred and encouraged him. He secretly made up his mind to go all out tomorrow and live up to the expectations of his instructors and comrades.

After dinner, Li Ziyang took the initiative to find Yue Ming, and the two walked side by side on the tree-lined path of the camp. The night is getting darker, and the breeze blows on my face, bringing a bit of coolness.

"Yue Ming, I have something to ask you." Li Ziyang said with a hint of shyness and sincerity in his tone.

Yue Ming was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Li Ziyang and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, I'll do whatever it takes to help you."

Li Ziyang took a deep breath and said: "I just started in the recruit company and felt a little confused. I don't know what to do to adapt to life here faster and how to become a qualified soldier."

After hearing this, Yue Ming was silent for a while, and then said seriously: "Zi Yang, I don't have any secrets for this problem. But I think the most important thing is to maintain a positive attitude. No matter what difficulties you encounter, don't give up easily. At the same time, you should learn more from your comrades, each of whom has his own advantages and strengths. You can learn a lot from them."

Li Ziyang nodded and said thoughtfully: "Well, you are right. I should learn more from my comrades and learn from their strengths. However, sometimes I feel that there is a big gap between me and them. I am afraid that I can't keep up with them."

Yue Ming patted Li Ziyang on the shoulder and encouraged: "Zi Yang, don't belittle yourself. Everyone has their own advantages and potential. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to catch up with them. Moreover, I think you are better than them in some aspects. For example, your physical fitness and reaction ability are not comparable to many people. You must believe in yourself and believe that you can become an excellent soldier."

Li Ziyang heard this, and a warm current surged in his heart. He looked at Yue Ming gratefully and said, "Thank you, Yue Ming. Your words have given me confidence again. I will work hard to train and strive to become a qualified soldier as soon as possible."

Under Yue Ming's careful guidance, Li Ziyang gradually realized that if he wanted to keep up with everyone's progress in the recruit company, or even surpass them, he must first complete the minimum basic training. This cognition was like a ray of dawn, illuminating his confused heart and letting him find the direction to move forward.

"Ziyang, you see, everyone is training hard now. If you want to catch up with them, you must work harder." Yue Ming said earnestly, his eyes full of expectations for Li Ziyang.

Li Ziyang nodded, his eyes firm: "I understand, Yue Ming. I will work hard, and I won't let myself fall behind."

"Okay, then let's start from the most basic. First, aim for weighted running. This will not only improve your physical fitness, but also exercise your willpower." Yue Ming patted Li Ziyang on the shoulder and encouraged.

When Li Ziyang heard this, a sense of pride surged in his heart. He knew that weighted running was a huge challenge for him, but he also believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to overcome this difficulty. (End of this chapter)
