Chapter 1737 Grit Your Teeth and Persevere

"Recruit company... ha, what a joke." Zhang Chu sneered in his heart. He had already made up his mind to leave here. He didn't trust Qin Yuan and didn't want to waste time on these "boring rules" of the recruit company. He thought that after leaving the army, he could live well anywhere based on his own abilities.

However, as he approached the barbed wire fence of the camp, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

"Zhang Chu, where are you going?" A low but calm voice sounded in the darkness.

Zhang Chu turned around suddenly and saw Yue Ming standing not far away, the beam of the flashlight shining directly on him. Zhang Chu's face darkened and he cursed in a low voice: "Yue Ming, are you following me?"

Yue Ming looked at him coldly, and the flashlight in his hand shook slightly: "No, I was on night shift patrol, and I happened to see you sneaking out. Zhang Chu, what do you want to do? Run away?"

Zhang Chu's eyes changed, but he quickly regained his composure. He curled his lips and said in a disdainful tone: "Don't blame me, I just want to go out for some fresh air. Is it possible that this is also illegal?"

Yue Ming's eyes were sharp and he obviously didn't believe his explanation: "Zhang Chu, the lights are out now. According to the regulations, everyone must stay in the dormitory. You sneaking out like this is obviously not a good reason. Do you know what you are doing?"

Zhang Chu snorted coldly, with a trace of impatience flashing in his eyes: "Okay, Yue Ming, don't worry about it. This matter has nothing to do with you, and you can't control me."

After saying that, he turned around and continued walking towards the barbed wire fence. However, Yue Ming did not give in. He took a quick step and stood in front of Zhang Chu. His voice was low but with unquestionable majesty: "Zhang Chu, let me ask again, what are you going to do? If you leave now, you are not only violating discipline. , you will be treated as a deserter! Do you want to ruin your life?"

Zhang Chu was irritated by these words. His face darkened and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Desert? Oh, don't scare me with such words! I don't care about staying in a place like this. Don't think you can stop me. !”

Before he finished speaking, he pushed Yue Ming away and ran towards the barbed wire fence quickly.

Yue Ming was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, gritted his teeth and chased after him: "Zhang Chu! Stop!"

The two started a chase in the night. Zhang Chu is very fast. After all, he was once a special soldier, and his physical fitness and skills are beyond the comparison of ordinary people. But Yue Ming is not an ordinary recruit either. His endurance and perseverance are famous in the army.

Zhang Chu nimbly shuttled through the darkness, trying to get rid of Yue Ming, but Yue Ming always clung to him, and the two ran one after the other through the woods in the camp for nearly ten minutes. Zhang Chu originally thought he could easily get rid of Yue Ming, but he found that no matter how fast he accelerated, the opponent could always catch up.

"Is this guy... crazy?" Zhang Chu cursed in his heart, but his steps were getting faster and faster. He already felt a little tired, but Yue Ming's breathing was still steady.

Finally, while walking through a bush, Zhang Chu tripped over a tree root and stumbled slightly. At that moment, Yue Ming swooped up and pushed him to the ground.

The two rolled around on the ground several times. Zhang Chu tried to break free, but Yue Ming's strength was unexpectedly strong. He pressed Zhang Chu's shoulders tightly and gasped: "Stop struggling, Zhang Chu! You can't run away." of!"

Zhang Chu gritted his teeth, and anger almost burst out of his eyes: "Let me go! Yue Ming, I'm warning you, stay out of my business! I don't want to hurt you!"

Yue Ming sneered, his eyes full of determination: "Do you think you can still win? Zhang Chu, I'm not kidding you. If you keep running, you will destroy yourself. Stop it!"

Zhang Chu was stunned. He saw the sincerity and determination in Yue Ming's eyes, and couldn't help but be shaken. But his stubbornness made him unwilling to admit defeat. He said coldly: "Why do you stop me? Why do you care about me?"

Yue Ming paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "Because we are comrades! Zhang Chu, do you think I want to arrest you? No, I don't want to. I don't want the instructor to see you make a mistake, let alone ruin your future. ! But if you keep running away, it will only make everything worse!"

Zhang Chu was stunned for a moment, and his heart seemed to be touched by something, but his lips were still tightly pursed, and his eyes were complicated.

Yue Ming relaxed his strength and softened his tone: "Zhang Chu, you are a good soldier, really. But if you don't even abide by the most basic rules, then what's the use of being strong? The special forces don't want you, and the recruits don't even want you. I will keep you. You can run away for a while, but you can’t run away forever. Zhang Chu, you are a smart man, don’t do stupid things.”

The night wind blew by, and the two of them lay quietly on the ground, and the atmosphere became silent and depressing.

After a long time, Zhang Chu finally sighed and closed his eyes: "...you must be cruel, Yue Ming."

Yue Ming breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Zhang Chu to stand up. He patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder, with a hint of fatigue in his tone: "Go back. I will hide this from the instructor, but the premise is that from today on, you don't make such mistakes again."

Zhang Chu didn't speak, just nodded and followed Yue Ming back to the camp.

Early the next morning, the morning training in the camp began as usual. The sun had just risen, and the entire recruit company was already filled with loud slogans and footsteps. However, in the office, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Yue Ming stood in front of Qin Yuan's desk with a serious and firm expression. After paying a standard military salute, he reported everything to Qin Yuan about last night without hiding anything.

"Instructor, Zhang Chu tried to sneak away from the camp last night. I found him while patrolling and caught him. He was emotional and tried to break away, but in the end he listened to my advice and returned to the dormitory." Yue Ming's voice was calm, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes, "According to military regulations, this behavior can be classified as deserter, and it should be dealt with... very seriously."

After listening, Qin Yuan's eyes were cold, his hands were crossed on the table, and he was silent for a moment. His eyes did not leave Yue Ming, as if he was examining and thinking.

"Are you sure he wants to escape and not for other purposes?" Qin Yuan's voice was low and calm, but it made people feel an invisible sense of oppression.

Yue Ming nodded and said firmly: "Yes, instructor. He made it clear that he did not want to stay in the recruit company, and he also disdained the rules and training here. I could see that he really wanted to leave last night."

Qin Yuan was silent for a few seconds, took a deep breath, stood up slowly, and looked out the window at the new recruits who were training. There was no expression on his face, but there seemed to be a storm hidden in those deep eyes.

"Zhang Chu is a thorn, but he is not a real deserter." Qin Yuan's voice suddenly sounded, his tone was surprisingly calm, "He disdains the rules and is dissatisfied with the recruit company, but in his bones, he still has the feeling of belonging to a The stubbornness and pride of a soldier. His behavior last night was more about resisting than giving up. "

Yue Ming was stunned for a moment, carefully recalling Zhang Chu's performance last night, and finally nodded: "Instructor, you are right. He did not show the intention to give up completely, but his behavior has indeed touched the bottom line."

Qin Yuan sneered, with a sense of oppression in his tone: "Touched the bottom line? Yes, it was indeed touched. But my, Qin Yuan's bottom line will never be a simple military regulation. Zhang Chu, I will give him another Opportunity. Not because I am tolerant, but because I know he can still be saved."

Yue Ming frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Instructor, but... if such behavior is not dealt with, will other recruits feel that discipline can be trampled on casually?"

Qin Yuan's eyes were stern and his voice was low: "Yue Ming, discipline is used to restrain ordinary people, but Zhang Chu is not ordinary. For such a person, simple punishment will only make him more resistant. What we have to do is to make him resist. He understands why rules are needed here, instead of blindly suppressing him-" Qin Yuan paused, a slight sneer rising at the corner of his mouth, "If he dares to touch my bottom line again, I have many ways to make him pay."

Yue Ming nodded, feeling both admiration and awe of Qin Yuan's handling of the matter. Instructors always see further than ordinary people like them. He paused and asked: "Instructor, what should we do with Zhang Chu next?"

Qin Yuan glanced at Yue Ming, and his tone was calm but with unquestionable majesty: "From today on, you keep an eye on him. Every move he makes must be under your control. Don't let him have any chance to go wrong again. I will give him a chance, but this time is the last time. If he makes a mistake again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

"Yes!" Yue Ming saluted with a standard military salute, his eyes full of determination.

On the training ground in the morning, Zhang Chu stood in the queue with a cold expression, looking no different from usual. But his heart was far less peaceful than on the surface. He knew that what happened last night would eventually be discovered, but the strange thing was that so far, Qin Yuan had not troubled him, not even a scolding. This made him feel a little uneasy.

"It's impossible for the instructor to just let it go, right?" Zhang Chu thought to himself, while secretly glancing at Yue Ming who was standing in front of him. He found that Yue Ming's eyes had been falling on him vaguely, seeming to be observing every tiny movement he made.

"Tch, it seems that this guy still knows what happened last night." Zhang Chu sneered in his heart, but couldn't help but be a little confused, "But why didn't the instructor say anything? Does he really plan to let me go?"

After the training, Qin Yuan still didn't talk to him, which made Zhang Chu even more confused. He vaguely felt that Qin Yuan's silence was not letting him go, but giving him an invisible pressure.

Sure enough, at lunch time, when all the recruits were queuing up in the cafeteria to eat, Yue Ming suddenly walked up to Zhang Chu and said in a low but firm tone: "Zhang Chu, after dinner, you come with me to the training ground."

Zhang Chu was stunned, raised his head and glared at Yue Ming: "Why are you going to the training ground?"

Yue Ming did not answer, but said lightly: "The task assigned by the instructor."

Zhang Chu's heart sank, but he didn't ask any more questions. He vaguely felt that Qin Yuan might not show mercy to him this time.

On the training ground in the afternoon, Qin Yuan put his hands behind his back and looked coldly at Zhang Chu standing in front of him. The sun burned the ground, but Qin Yuan's eyes were hotter than the sun.

"Zhang Chu, I don't want to repeat what happened last night." Qin Yuan spoke, his voice calm, but full of pressure, "I will only tell you one thing - I will give you another chance. But if you still If you dare to challenge my bottom line, you know what the result will be."

Zhang Chu gritted his teeth, and a hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes: "Instructor, I don't need anyone else to take care of my business. If you want punishment, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush like this."

Qin Yuan sneered, his eyes like knives: "Punishment? Zhang Chu, you are not afraid of punishment. But you are afraid of failure. In today's afternoon training, all your tasks will be doubled, and Yue Ming will be responsible for supervising you. If you can't do it, don't blame me for punishing you!"

Zhang Chu glared at Qin Yuan fiercely, but in the end he didn't say much. He knew he had no choice but to accept it.

Yue Ming walked up, patted Zhang Chu's shoulder gently, and whispered: "Zhang Chu, don't be stupid again. The instructor is really giving you a chance, don't let him down."

Zhang Chu didn't say anything, but shook off Yue Ming's hand heavily and walked straight to the center of the training ground. He knew that no matter how stubborn he was, this time, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

After the afternoon training, Zhang Chu dragged his tired body back to the dormitory. He sat silently by his bed with a complicated look in his eyes. Although he still pretended to be unruly on the surface, deep down in his heart, he had already become a mess. It's not that he didn't think about what would happen if he really ran away last night and was caught. Deserter, these two words are the heaviest stigma for a soldier. He knows better than anyone that once such behavior is determined, it means that his military career will be completely over.

However, he also knows in his heart that he doesn't really want to escape from the army. He is not a coward, nor is he lazy enough to evade training. He just wants to go back to the place that once belonged to him - the special forces. Although the door has been closed to him because of his mistakes, he always has a glimmer of luck in his heart, thinking that he still has a chance to go back.

Zhang Chu pinched his temples, took a deep breath, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. Although the army has stipulated the communication time, he knew that no one in the duty room noticed his little action at this time. He dialed a number - it was the private phone of Zhou Zhiheng, his previous company commander in the special forces.

After the call was connected, a familiar and majestic voice came from the other end: "Hello, who is this?"

Zhang Chu was silent for a few seconds, as if his throat was blocked by something, and finally spoke with difficulty: "Company Commander, it's me, Zhang Chu."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then Zhou Zhiheng's slightly unhappy voice came: "Zhang Chu? Why are you calling? Shouldn't you be in the recruit company now?"
