A sense of resentment quickly spread through the dormitory.
Everyone frowned, extremely unwilling.
"Damn it, I remember my cousin telling me that basic training is just simple drills, running around, very easy. Why is it so complicated now?" Lin Yu said impatiently, but his hands weren't idle; he quickly fastened his belt.
"Who knows? New officers always have a lot to say. Maybe this new company commander is just showing off?" Su Xiaoyu said with a smile, though extremely unwilling, she still had to go downstairs.
Who knows what the new company commander might throw in if he doesn't see anyone?
"It's just tough on us new recruits, sob sob sob. I've never suffered like this in my entire life, you know, Xiaoyu, my mom has never let me get rained on, never yelled at me, but today, sigh..." another troublemaker lamented.
Su Xiaoyu smiled upon hearing this, "Old Ma, why don't you rebel? Sacrifice yourself for the greater good, and secure some benefits for us brothers?"
Hua Shan Ke chuckled and echoed, "Xiaoyu's right, Old Ma. If you're hospitalized, don't worry, we'll come see you."
"Get out of here," Ma Mingliang glared, "I'm not stupid. My background is only good for dealing with some company commanders and platoon leaders. You expect me to deal with Qin Yuan, this ruthless and heartless demon king?" Ma Mingliang quickly shook his head, "I want to live a few more years."
"Hahaha..."
A group of people immediately burst into laughter.
Yes.
This new company commander is an unyielding and ruthless demon king.
Unless someone is truly desperate, they wouldn't deliberately mess with him.
After all, Zhang Shuai hasn't woken up yet, and no one wants to end up like Zhang Shuai.
Wang Tianyi listened to the teasing, his face turning purple and white, lost in thought.
Tap tap tap.
Zang Chong was the first to get dressed and rush down to the dormitory.
Han Xiang, Xu Kai, Hua Shan Ke, Su Xiaoyu, and the others followed.
With Zang Chong leading the way, everyone moved quickly.
Three minutes later.
All the new recruits appeared neatly in formation.
Qin Yuan checked his watch, expressing great surprise!
Weren't these recruits all troublemakers?
Why are they so obedient this time?
They actually ran down the line without fail within the allotted time?
And their formation is so perfectly orderly?
He had prepared strategies to deal with them long ago, but he hadn't even used a single one yet.
Thump, thump, thump.
Suddenly.
The sound of running footsteps rang out.
Platoon Leader Zhao Ruixuan and Platoon Leader Zhang Mingmin excitedly ran over carrying a box. "Reporting, Company Commander, tear gas has arrived!"
"Huh, Company Commander, what's going on? How come all these troublemakers have come out?" Zhao Ruixuan was stunned by the sight before him!
Zhang Mingmin looked equally bewildered. "This shouldn't be happening! These old soldiers shouldn't be in their dormitories. They shouldn't be coming down like this. Why are they all here?"
"Company Commander, they've all come down. We've just made a wasted trip." Zhao Ruixuan was extremely disappointed.
Zhao Ruixuan and Zhang Mingmin were both incredibly frustrated!
Just before the assembly whistle blew, Qin Yuan had told them to get another box of tear gas.
To let these troublesome new recruits have a good time!
The two had excitedly gone to unload it, only to find that they wouldn't need it now.
"Hmph, two big idiots! We've been fooled once, are we going to fall for it again?"
"Damn it! This new company commander was really close, trying to use this thing on us again! Luckily we all escaped!"
"That awful feeling of being teared up by gas, I never want to experience it again in my life! Thank goodness!"
...
The troublemakers watched the two platoon leaders' coordinated attack,
and felt a lingering fear.
But seeing their utterly dejected expressions, they instantly cheered.
Seeing the two platoon leaders' humiliated and disappointed hearts... felt especially good!
Qin Yuan, expressionless, said, "So what if it was a wasted trip? Just leave it in your dorm for now, you'll need it sooner or later anyway."
"Yes, yes, we'll need it sooner or later," Zhao Ruixuan nodded quickly with a smile.
However, the recruits were unhappy!
Used it sooner or later?
This new company commander… looks like he's planning to mess with them!
Changing the subject, Qin Yuan looked at the group, “The weather’s great tonight! The air’s especially fresh after the rain! So, I’m going to take you guys for a five-kilometer run to enjoy the Lijiang night view!”
“Everyone’s here!”
“Run!”
Qin Yuan gave the order to the recruits.
The recruits immediately started running obediently.
Qin Yuan and three platoon leaders got into a jeep and leisurely supervised the group from one side.
"I'm very satisfied with everyone's performance in today's 10km run."
"Therefore, I have new requirements for tonight's 5km run!"
"The standard time for a 5km run with light gear in the military is 23 minutes, but the average company's overall time is 19-20 minutes, and an excellent time is 17 minutes!"
"I, Qin Yuan, have always been a soldier who prioritizes being at the top! I only lead the best soldiers."
"So, your goal this time is to run it in under 17 minutes!"
Qin Yuan spoke calmly and deliberately.
"What?! Run 5km in 17 minutes?"
"Isn't that mortifying?! Running 5km in 17 minutes is outrageous!"
"It's not just outrageous, it's unrealistic!"
...
As soon as Qin Yuan finished speaking, the recruits immediately realized the terrifying magnitude of 17 minutes. They were new recruits, their overall fitness level wasn't great, and they wanted to run it in under 17 minutes?
It was a pipe dream!
Aside from a few individuals like Zang Chong, who might be able to do it!
Most people probably couldn't even finish in 19 minutes!
"Shut up, all of you!"
At this moment, Zang Chong spoke impatiently, "Stop chattering away! Are you even men? If you're men, run for your lives!"
Zang Chong roared fiercely.
In an instant.
All the recruits fell silent, no longer daring to complain.
They had no choice; they didn't want to be enemies with Zang Chong. One punch from him could kill a pig weighing less than 800 pounds—who could withstand that?
Who was Zang Chong?
The company commander was his superior!
No, it used to be Zang Chong who was the superior, and the company commander his inferior!
It was only after Qin Yuan arrived that their positions reversed.
Sometimes, his words carried more weight than the company commander's!
Qin Yuan's eyes lit up. This Zang Chong…not bad!
"This guy seems to be helping me?"
After shouting, Zang Chong suddenly accelerated, taking the lead and leaving everyone far behind, demonstrating his terrifying abilities.
"This Zang Chong is impressive! With proper training, he'll be a formidable special forces soldier in the future!"
Qin Yuan looked at Zang Chong with great admiration, as if he had found a treasure, and was also very happy to have discovered such a promising talent.
