Chapter 11 The First Day of Military Service

The Linhai Army Department started the 245th recruit training this year. According to Article 8 of the Human Watch Army Charter, the training period for new recruits is only 72 hours after joining the army. They need to adapt to the military environment in the shortest possible time.

Rather than a training period, it is better to say that it is an assessment period, because those who come to join the army now have already gone through years of preparation, just like high school students who have studied for three years before the college entrance examination. The cocoon breakers who came out of the land of rebirth are different. Although they have just come to this new world, their talents are often better, and they have been tested by life and death as soon as they wake up. This is a quality that ordinary people can't compare with, and it is also their advantage.

In the line of recruits, Lu Buer and He Sai are both in a straight dark green military uniform. Their not-so-tall figures seem to be propped up all of a sudden. Next to them are the recruits' supply boxes they just received, which are filled with his daily necessities, which are the necessities of life during the front-line deployment period.

I heard that there were two cocoon breakers from the Land of the Dead among this batch of recruits. The comrades in the line looked at them from time to time, which made the brothers feel a little uncomfortable.

Because during the assessment, they performed very well and reached the level of being able to fight directly on the front line. Moreover, as cocoon breakers, they would be specially cared for. Even if something really went wrong, they would not die in the hands of the White Walkers. It can be said that they have a bright future.

The content of the assessment is fighting and shooting, wilderness survival and actual combat simulation, and its purpose is to test the quality of the recruits.

After all, if the quality is not up to standard, people will die on the front line.

The new generation in the new world must be fully prepared to join the army. In today's society, many families will give birth to offspring with evolutionary talents. Therefore, going to school is no longer their only way out. Joining the army is the best choice. At the very least, they have to come back from the military to experience it. Losing a little life in exchange for a strong and healthy body.

The new generation has advantages in the first three assessments.

The cocoon breakers can only suffer in silence.

Only in the actual combat simulation training, the orphan group's performance crushed the same period. The so-called actual combat simulation training is to put on a virtual helmet for you to fight the most primitive and fierce battle with the White Walkers in the deep dream.

In this assessment, the orphan group crushed the new recruits of the same period. As the cocoon breakers who survived in the land of the dead, facing these things is a piece of cake. Now they are not afraid to sleep in the same bed with the corpses of the White Walkers, while most of the new generation are scared to tears in this link. Even if they have prepared in advance, they still break their defense when they really face life and death.

It just happens that this assessment has the highest weight.

Compared with this, everything else is unimportant.

This just confirms what the instructors said: "Fighting with the White Walkers does not require skills, but your anger, your despair, your hatred, and even everything you have!"

In these four assessments, 30% of people were persuaded to quit because they failed, because if they broke their defense in the last item, then everything in the first three items would not count.

Lu Buer's performance was the best among the new recruits, but he was exhausted in the past three days. He had to endure severe cancer pain almost every night. Fortunately, after sleeping in the cocoon, his physical condition was indeed different from before, and he could still bear it.

He Sai also persisted and ranked among the top.

"Since you have chosen to join the army, you have embarked on a life and death road that is completely different from ordinary people. If you can survive here, it's your ability. If you can't survive, then get out early. We exist for the extraordinary world and only dedicate ourselves to peace. But it's too early for you to talk about your contribution to peace now, because you come to the military to obtain resources. To put it bluntly, you come to suck blood, but we encourage sucking blood and competition."

The officer said coldly: "But we will never tolerate cowards!"

The main theme of the military is competition!

This is the difference of the Evolver Army.

"You have passed the training and assessment. Next, you will go to the front line to garrison. As a person who has experienced it, I have a few pieces of advice that you need to remember."

"First, the current era is relatively peaceful. We only need to guard the major places of rebirth to prevent those terrifying beings from awakening. Your main target is the white walkers born in those places of rebirth. Some of them are resurrected and mutated ancient creatures, and some are powerful creatures whose origins cannot be explained so far."

"Second, all the peaceful years are because someone is carrying the burden for you. This world has never had true peace, that The war in these shadows has never stopped. In the future, you will not only face the White Walkers, but also your compatriots! Those heretics, those terrorist organizations, are active in South America, North Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe..."

"Third, there may be heretic spies inside the military. You need to be careful of their existence. If you have any clues, you can report them to the relevant departments."

The new recruits are stationed in Wuzhen, located at the edge of the city, next to the towering Jufeng Mountain Range. It is about 170 kilometers away from Fengcheng, which has become a place of death. The older generation said that there is often fog on the mountain, and the White Walkers appear in the fog.

The residents of the town had long moved to the suburbs of the city.

Wuzhen has become a military garrison.

The garrison rotates every month, and they will get a period of vacation to return to the military base to rest, and go out to eat, drink and have fun.

"Fifth... I wish you a bright future and a safe return."

The instructor finally showed a smile on his face.

A very sincere smile.

The recruits gathered on the playground to listen to the instructor's speech, and suddenly heard a deep roar, and saw a heavy truck slowly driving over, spewing exhaust.

I saw a bearded officer coming down, and in the hopeful eyes of the recruits, he grinned: "The recruit training period is over, and you can leave here next..."

The recruits were relieved and finally felt that they could rest.

The bearded officer said seriously: "Go to the battlefield!"

Chao!

·

·

Wuzhen is about a 40-minute drive from the military base. The town has completely become a military garrison. Lights are on in the barracks under the starry sky.

In the barracks, you can see construction workers transporting heavy building materials, cranes pulling huge steel beams, and workers staying up late to work overtime.

Searchlights illuminate all directions, and noisy roars are heard from time to time.

Lu Buer and He Sai followed the team with their own supply boxes, standing in the town like ducks being driven here, like a group of huskies who strayed into a wolf pack.

"I didn't expect that we stayed in the city for half a day."

He Sai complained: "This is back again!"

Lu Buer murmured: "I just want to know when I can eat."

These three days have been very exhausting for him.

The mechanical sound of the drone echoed in the barracks: "New recruits, welcome to join the extraordinary combat sequence of the Third City Guard. You have 20 minutes to prepare for battle!"

Led by the bearded officer, the new recruits came to the barracks. The first thing they had to do was to build their own tents, and then solve their food needs as quickly as possible. Twenty minutes later, they would go to the battlefield to complete the only awakening in their evolutionary career.

Here they have begun to hone their self-reliance.

Those who can come to join the army are naturally not spoiled wastes. They find open space in the barracks as quickly as possible, open the supply boxes and build tents.

Five hundred years ago, during the military deployment period, the barracks usually used a large military tent with many military beds placed side by side, but now the military pays more attention to personal privacy and individual independence, so they give everyone a separate small tent, which is quite humane.

"It's really clean and sanitary."

He Sai found an empty space: "Brother Lu, let me help you clean up first."

Lu Buer knew that he was worried that he was too weak to handle it, so he waved his hand and said: "It's time to still care about these things, let's take a look at the daily necessities first, otherwise we will both starve to death."

He Sai then remembered that they still had two large boxes to open. When he leaned over to open the boxes, his expression changed: "Brother Lu, the lock has been pried open."

Lu Buer had a bad premonition and hurriedly opened the supply box to take a look. The most eye-catching thing in the box was their fleece military uniforms, which were thick enough to withstand the cold winter, and some daily necessities, of various types.

"Why are there only six bags of self-heating rations?"

"There are only two-thirds of rice, half of the bread, two bags of vegetable packs, eight protein bars, two bags of energy powder? Four bottles of vitamins! Two cans of luncheon meat!"

"Both the bulletproof helmet and the bulletproof vest are old!"

"Fortunately, the alchemy revolver is still there, but more than half of the bullets are missing."

"The military dagger was replaced by someone, and I was given an old one... Well, my sword is rusty and there is a hole on the blade. What about yours, He Sai?"

"Brother Lu, the blade of my sword is gone!"

"Damn, I'm already angry and desperate now!"

"Damn it, me too..."

The two brothers looked at each other and were stunned.

In fact, it was not just the two of them. Many recruits cursed when they opened the supply boxes, facing more or less the same situation.

It seems that they were not the ones being targeted.

"What a fucking inhuman."

He Sai murmured.

"Indeed, but there is nothing we can do. It is possible that this is also to disgust us deliberately in order to awaken us, or it is possible that someone is really withholding our supplies."

Lu Buer searched for supplies: "Chop wood, make fire, cook!"

He knew that time was running out, and hurriedly said: "I can help you do these things when I am still here, but if I am gone, you will need to do it yourself. So watch carefully, you have to learn these survival skills, and concentrate."

He picked up the axe to chop wood, then used flint to make fire, set up an iron pot to cook a pot of porridge, and added all the edible things: "It is definitely not as good as what you used to eat at home, but it is good enough to fill your stomach now."

He Sai said nothing, but watched silently.

When he drank the bowl of porridge, his eyes were a little red.

Because he realized that people will always experience separation and death.

Lu Buer may feel that he doesn't have much time.

Drinking a bowl of hot porridge in such a cold winter is still very healing, and the burning bonfire also adds a touch of warmth, but the tent is very simple and leaks on all sides.

Just at this moment, a loud bang came.

The strong wind blew in their faces, mixed with a lot of dust.

It directly covered their faces.

They couldn't drink two bowls of porridge.

"This is really not a human being."

Some new soldiers finally got angry: "Are you trying to disgust me on purpose?"

"Come on, our conditions are already pretty good. If you were assigned to a place like Nepal or Congo, you would be in real trouble. You would get a mouthful of dust when you drink water, and there are mutant mosquitoes and spiders bigger than your face! In comparison, we are just in a town on the edge of the city, and the living conditions are pretty good."

Brother Youdong said: "At least we are suffering a little bit, but if nothing unexpected happens, we won't die, but it's hard to say about those other ghost places."

"Shh, stop complaining."

Someone else said: "Maybe there are superiors watching us."

"Brother Lu..."

He Sai wanted to cry but had no tears.

Lu Buer couldn't hold it anymore, and his expression gradually became ferocious.

The cold voice of the drone sounded again: "Emergency report, a large number of white walkers are attacking Wuzhen from the Giant Peak Mountains, please rush to the battlefield immediately!"

The recruits were so upset that they picked up their weapons.

Lu Buer gritted his teeth: "Go, kill the white walkers!"

"Isn't this a mental issue? Go, fight them!"

He Sai's face was also hideous, his anger and despair had reached the limit!

·

On this day, the recruits finally faced the challenge before awakening. They left the military camp where they had just set up tents, passed through the old town, and arrived at the wilderness under the mountain.

The empty road has been banned, the old electric wires cross the sky, and the towering mountains are foggy, and nothing can be seen clearly.

The dark wilderness is raging with the howling cold wind, and the cold fog that spreads with the wind is visible. You can see the blockade established by the army and the sandbag bunkers piled up like a hill.

"Is this where our troops are stationed?"

Lu Buer muttered to himself.

He Sai shrank his neck, a little scared.

Only the new generation was used to it, because many retired soldiers would enter the afterlife again as explorers to hunt for white walkers. There were often similar programs on TV, which could be said to be a modern version of wilderness survival.

The ground in the darkness shook violently, and there seemed to be a huge monster in the mountains rampaging in the mud, and the ground collapsed along the way!

A middle-aged officer with white hair and beard held a walkie-talkie, and his voice echoed over the ruins through the drone: "Waste, open your eyes and watch, this is a high-level White Walker. The Kabbalah Tree of Life not only brought the power of evolution, but also changed the ecology and environment of this planet. Many prehistoric extinct creatures have returned, such as this monster."

"Its name is Earth Dragon, which is currently the biggest threat to urban security. The White Walker... Of course, it is not something you bunch of waste can solve."

He paused: "Major Yuan, please."

I saw a helicopter flying over my head, and someone fell down!

I thought this god who came down from heaven would be a brave person like Lu Bu.

But I didn't expect that it was a woman.

And at most a woman in her early twenties.

"Leave the earth dragon to me, you guys are responsible for cleaning up the remaining trash!"

A hoarse female voice echoed in the wind: "It seems that there are new recruits coming to the front today, and I can only give you a piece of advice. To deal with something like the White Walkers, you must overcome your fear and awaken the most primitive brutality in your bones, and be more brutal than it. If you can't do this, you'd better retire early and go home to find your mother. It's not too late now."

At this moment, a scorching flash lit up in the air!

"What is that?"

He Sai was stunned.

Lu Buer raised his head and saw the black shadow falling from the sky.

The female officer's chestnut short hair fluttered in the cold wind, and her charming and delicate face was a little wild. I saw a complex matrix-like pattern spreading on her skin until it eroded the iron bow in her hand. The bow and arrow roared restlessly and shone brightly!

With a boom, the iron bow seemed to be reborn, flowing with blazing flames!

"This is the gift that the cocoon breakers receive on the road of evolution. The power given to us by the sacred tree. In the first realm of origin, we condense destiny. In the second realm of glory, we master the spells. In the third realm of victory, we control the soul blade. But for you, this is too far away."

The middle-aged instructor had a cold voice, and did not hide his condescending attitude towards the soldiers.

He stood in the camp, showing off his abilities.

He cut his wrist, but the wound glowed blue.

In just a moment, it healed itself.

"This is numerology, different departments, different attributes, different abilities."

He continued to explain: "This is a spell."

He pressed his hand on the ground, and countless vines broke out of the ground!

"Numerology is equivalent to your internal skills, and the spell is your moves."

The instructor said coldly: "As for the soul blade, look up!"

The night sky was suddenly illuminated.

"Die for me!"

Major Hara Haru drew his bow and arrow in mid-air. The burning arrow was like a cannon firing at the moment it was shot out, as if a meteor dragged the tail flame and fell to the ground, roaring!

A mushroom cloud exploded in the smoke, accompanied by the wailing of a giant beast.

Not only that, more than ten burning flashes lit up in the air!

Arrows of destruction covered the sky and the explosions sounded like thunder.

"Major Haru Haru is mighty!"

"This is the strength of the third world. Is the Victory World so powerful?"

"Nonsense, Major Haru Haru's numerology is already very good. With the iron bow called the Burning Ghost, even a monster with thick skin and flesh like the Earth Dragon can't stand it."

The soldiers cheered in the wilderness.

"So handsome."

Obviously, He Sai's second-year soul has been awakened.

Lu Buer stared at this scene silently. These were things that had never appeared in the initial test, that is, the extraordinary abilities that the evolvers truly possessed.

This is a supernatural power, enough to change the world.

Which man would not fantasize about having superpowers when he was young?

Now this door happened to be opened in front of them.

In the most spectacular way.

And the most exciting thing is that they can also have that kind of power!
