The next day, bright and early.
At 6:30, when the wake-up whistle blew, Fang Huai was already standing at the door in his damp clothes, feeling like his body was ready once more for battle. As he looked at the slightly rising sun, he couldn’t help but let out a loud howl,
"Ah! Today’s unhappiness starts the mont I open my eyes!"
Kui Li was just walking downstairs and laughed,
"You’re quite aware, aren’t you!"
Then, glancing at the clothes Fang Huai was wearing, he chuckled again, blew his whistle, and shouted, "Everyone! Assemble in your physical fitness short sleeves in ten minutes! Camouflage uniforms can be hung next to the laundry table to dry!"
"Damn."
Fang Huai’s face fell.
Sure enough, his mood soured.
Mahler Gobi, if you’re not wearing a camouflage uniform, say it earlier! The physical fitness short I’m wearing inside is all wet now!
In fact, when everyone arrived, they were instructed to bring their winter camo too—just in case there was an urgent need, so there’d always be sothing to change into, but wearing winter camo had to be regulated by the whistle.
"Damn it, this place just doesn’t agree with !"
Fang Huai peeled off his clothes while cursing and went inside.
...
Morning exercises were a relatively light jog of three kiloters around the street.
Except for the bobcat making everyone chant slogans that were sowhat consistently vulgar.
"Eight hundred standard bearers dash up the slope! Artilleryn run side by side to the north!"
"Eight hundred standard standards benzene slope! Piao and and row north standard piao!"
"I am a person, I am not a dog; I am not a dog, I am a person!"
"..."
"Don’t have a mouth? Shout!" the bobcat cursed loudly.
"I am a person, I am not a dog; I am not a dog, I am a person!"
Everyone cautiously slowed down their pace and chanted.
"I don’t eat dog shit, the dog eats my shit!"
"I don’t eat dog shit, the dog eats my shit!"
"Alright, alright, all together now, ’I am a person, I am not a dog; I am a person, I am not a dog! I am not a dog, I am a person, I don’t eat dog shit, the dog eats my shit!’"
Then an incongruous voice rang out.
"...I don’t eat my shit, I eat dog shit!"
"Hahaha... A bunch of mouthless fools!" the bobcat roared with insane laughter, having had his fun tornting everyone, his face full of satisfaction.
The trainees were all speechless.
Do you think you’re funny?
Fang Huai wanted to give him the piece of doggerel he heard children in Chengdu use to swear at people.
His mood stank, but the breakfast slls on the street were tantalizing.
The well-decorated breakfast shop on the street corner was empty, but those small broken shops with tattered signs were bustling with people lining up inside to buy a bowl of noodles, not hesitating to co out and squat sowhere to eat.
Fang Huai, looking at the people squatting in a row next to the propane tanks at the shop entrance, thought, "Safety hazard."
But that aroma of chili oil was really addicting.
Slling it, everyone started feeling a bit hungry.
"Hurry up in front!" soone from behind couldn’t help but shout.
The bobcat heard this and laughed, "Yo? Want to speed up? Fine! Everyone disperse, run back to the campsite at your fastest speed along this road! Quick!"
With that, the pace picked up in an instant.
People around Fang Huai took off, rushing out in a frenzy to grab breakfast.
"Speed up, number one, I didn’t see you throwing up yesterday, was that al for nothing?"
Fang Huai could only bear with the pain in his foot and picked up his pace.
"Too slow, too slow! There’s no one behind you anymore! Weren’t you all tough yesterday? Can’t handle it? Drop out then!"
The bobcat didn’t bother to chase the ones ahead, just kept nagging behind Fang Huai.
"Huff..." Fang Huai exhaled deeply and glanced at him.
Pretty young fellow.
Alright, alright, I’ll make a good note of this in my little book.
You laugh now, but I’ll have a list for you later.
...
Three kiloters was not far for these wild wolves.
Even though Fang Huai slowed down and was the last to arrive, it took him only about ten minutes.
When Fang Huai entered the gate, inside stood a crowd of confused B-grade morons looking for a al.
"What’s this? No breakfast?"
"Captain Hu, we’re really here for special forces selection, but we should at least have a full al, right?"
"Yeah, what’s up with this concentration training? You’re not even providing als?"
A bunch of people crowded the courtyard entrance so tight that Fang Huai had no room to set his feet down and had to stand on tiptoes to look.
In the middle of the crowd, Hu Peizhou had his hands behind his back, seeming to have reached his limit, suddenly let out a loud yell:
"I don’t care about the rules of your previous concentration training! Once you’re here, you follow my rules!
Two als a day, at noon and 6 o’clock, fixed ti and quantity!
All orders must be obeyed! All rights must be relinquished!
You have only one right, and that’s the right to drop out! Back off! Eat and drink what you like, I don’t care about you! If you want to drop out, do it now! Our vehicle can still drive you to the train station!"
With that, everyone’s fire was extinguished.
It wasn’t just the noise that was quelled, but also the hope for breakfast for the next 44 days.
Dammit, this pauper’s concentration training must be out of funds; they can’t even afford breakfast.
Everyone thought bitterly.
"Anyone not dropping out, assemble in the middle of the courtyard! One minute! Hurry!"
A bunch of people were herded into the center of the courtyard like ducks.
The smile returned to Hu Peizhou’s face.
"Starting today, caloric intake will be strictly controlled! You have no reason to be dissatisfied! We’re the sa, eating two als!
This is called willpower training!
Two als is quite good. Just now, soone suggested that special forces selections should at least provide als, but don’t you know anything? Many special forces units only provide one al! Or even none if training tasks aren’t completed!
But... it’s not that there’s nothing to eat! In fact, we have everything!"
As Hu Peizhou spoke, he gestured with a wave of his hand.
Upstairs, two people imdiately brought out a small cart clanging along.
