Xia Jinyuan raised his head from the folder and glanced at the recruit who stood up bravely. He said, “Want to pee? Hold it back.”
“No, that’s not it!”
The new recruit didn’t flinch. He said, “I have a question that I need you to answer, Captain.”
“Shoot.”
Captain Xia Jinyuan replied with a simple word. It was like a morning bell hitting the recruit’s heart.
“Since the daily records and weekly assessment forms have to do with us, why didn’t we know about them? No one has mentioned them since we joined the army. Why is that?”
He didn’t dare to say anything else. In addition, this was only his fifth time meeting the captain. The first time was when the captain gave a six-word self-introduction. The rest of the time, he dealt with them. This was the fifth time… It was better to be careful.
The daily records of the 30 new recruits and the weekly assessments were not just contained in one document. There were hundreds of them. Last night, Xia Jinyuan read more than half of them. He planned to read everything he had not read in front of these recruits.
It was still early, a few minutes past 3:00 pm. He would let them stand for an hour.
He flipped through page after page, seemingly forgetting the recruits and the question he was asked.
“Take these two out. This one… This one too. This one is quite pleasing to the eye. Take it out too…” Xia Jinyuan flipped through the papers seriously and handed them to Pigeon. His cold voice hit the recruits’ ears like hailstones. It turned into bone-chilling water that flowed into their hearts and made them shiver.
He didn’t answer the question and was choosing… There was nothing good about it. Nothing good!
Standing among the new recruits, Ye Jian didn’t think that anything good would happen. She could see the evil look in Captain Xia’s eyes. As long as the evil look appeared, nothing good would happen.
The new recruits were from the Xueyu unit. They weren’t new recruits with a ‘zero’ military age. Their captain didn’t answer a recruit’s question. Although they felt a little uncomfortable, they didn’t continue asking.
Their captain… was not a normal person. They could not look at him like a
normal person.
Time passed slowly. The recruit who asked the question maintained his tall and straight soldier posture and stood still. Soon, there was a thin layer of snow on his shoulders and cap. An hour later, everyone was covered in a thick layer of snow. From afar, they looked like snowmen.
Ye Jian was the same. She and the male soldiers had become snowmen. Even their eyebrows were stained with snow.
Winter in the north could reach -10 degrees Celsius. When it was nighttime in Black River City, it was so cold that when people walked out, the blood in their bodies felt like it was going to freeze.
One hour of standing in the standard military posture was the most common and ordinary training in winter. It couldn’t even be called training.
Xia Jinyuan was done reading through everyone’s information and closed the folder. His sharp gaze was also wrapped in the coldness of the snow as it slid past the faces of the new recruits. “From today onward, the last five of the 30 people will be considered to have been defeated by Azure Bird. Do you understand?”
“Understood!”
Even though he had been standing in the cold wind for an hour, his voice was still imposing as if they had just gathered.
“Very good. I wish you a happy week. Oh, I forgot to tell you that the five bottom-ranked soldiers will have to be mentally prepared. I’m afraid that I’ll be inhumane enough to teach you again.”
Closing the folder, Xia Jinyuan said to the squad leaders, “Lead the team to run ten laps to warm up.. After running, we’ll start today’s tank training!”
