My Military Career in a Parallel World

Under the leadership of Li Gang, Class 5 passed the sentry post of the recruit camp and arrived at the entrance of the regiment supermarket.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they were still a step too late. The supermarket was already packed with people and there was a long queue outside.

"Oh my god! So many people?!"

“Maybe the sanitary napkins are sold out!”

Looking at the long queue in front of the supermarket, everyone couldn't help but worry.

"Yes, squad leader, with so many people here, the supermarket will probably be cleared out. Will we still have anything to sell when it's our turn?!"

Facing everyone's concerns, Li Gang replied with a smile: "Don't worry, at this time of year, the store may not have other things, but it will definitely have sanitary napkins!

Just line up obediently!"

Everyone in Class 5 then breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to line up.

I don’t know when it started, but when people knew that sanitary napkins could relieve the pain of long walks on the soles of their feet, as long as the supermarket owners were not stupid, they would stock up a large number of sanitary napkins early on.

Anyway, this thing doesn't have any shelf life, and in a unit like the 228th Regiment that likes to conduct training from time to time, this thing has no problem selling.

What's more, a boss who can open a supermarket in the military is not an ordinary person.

After waiting in line for nearly half an hour, Jiang Chen and others finally walked into the supermarket door and saw several large boxes of sanitary napkins neatly stacked against the wall.

"Squad leader, which one is better to buy?"

Looking at the row of sanitary napkins of various brands and styles, everyone was a little confused.

Chu Fei picked up two packs and asked Li Gang in a nonchalant manner, "Squad Leader, why are there two types of packs, one for day use and the other for night use? Do I need to use one type during the day and another type at night?"

"Get lost, don't ask me, I don't use this stuff. If you want to know, you can buy a few more packs and try to put them in your crotch!"

Even though Li Gang was thick-skinned enough and was considered a veteran who had served in the army for many years, he still blushed when asked by Chu Fei.

This is the regiment headquarters. Although there are few female soldiers, there are still some. If someone hears this and spreads it, wouldn't his reputation be ruined?

Li Gang doesn't want to be single forever...

Others were not as thick-skinned as Chu Fei. Although they all knew what they were going to do with the sanitary napkins, this thing was only used for that purpose after all. The current social atmosphere was not as open as it would be in the future, so everyone still felt a little guilty.

Even Jiang Chen, a veteran who had been through a lot of battles, didn't feel much about it. He could continue strolling around the supermarket with a sanitary napkin in his hand and a calm face.

After shopping for a while, Jiang Chen picked up two boxes of chocolates and a bag of candy. When passing by the shelf with prepared food, he also picked up a few bags of salt-baked chicken legs. Then he walked to the counter with satisfaction and lined up to pay.

The boss seemed to have anticipated today's situation and specially asked a few people to come over to help with the bills.

At the main gate, the students from Class 5 who had just finished shopping were already lining up and waiting. Seeing the large and small bags in Jiang Chen's hands, Li Gang just smiled and didn't say much.

He had made it very clear before that it was not forbidden to bring food during the training, but the prerequisite was that they could not be discovered.

If you're really capable, you can even empty the entire store!

Jiang Chen just returned to the team with his stuff, and Zhang Meng beside him couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Brother Chen, how are you going to hide all these things you bought?"

"Haha, what are you hiding? You finally come to the store, you have to satisfy your cravings. You didn't just buy sanitary napkins, did you?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Uh……"

Not only Zhang Meng, but several others also stood there in a daze upon hearing this.

Just now, they were only thinking about buying sanitary napkins and leaving quickly. Some of those who were still clear-headed just grabbed two handfuls of candy when passing by and ran out like escaping. They didn't think so much at all. Now, after hearing what Jiang Chen said, they were all dumbfounded.

Yes!

It's been almost three months, and I finally came to the store. Why didn't I buy more? Even if I can't take it away, I can still satisfy my cravings at night!

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret now. If they wanted to enter the store again, they had to queue up again. They didn’t know when it would be their turn. They had no choice but to follow Li Gang back to the dormitory.

Just after returning to the dormitory, before putting down the things in his hands, Li Gang looked at everyone with a smile and said: "I'm going to the toilet, you guys hurry up..."

After saying this, without waiting for the recruits to react to the meaning of his words, Li Gang turned around, opened the door and walked out.

"What are you waiting for? Hide your things quickly!" Jiang Chen was the first to come to his senses and quickly reminded everyone.

"Oh oh oh..." Everyone finally came to their senses and quickly took action.

"Well, Brother Chen, can you give me some? I forgot about it in my hurry just now and just bought two packs of sanitary napkins." Zhang Meng scratched his cheek awkwardly.

"Humph, I knew someone would forget. Otherwise, do you think I have nothing better to do than buy so many chocolates and candies?" Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. He had expected this scene.

"I will repay the class vice-chairman's kindness later. I'm going to hide the things first!" Zhang Meng clasped his hands together and raised them above his head, bowing deeply to Jiang Chen.

"Get out of here now, and be careful when you hide. Don't just hide in one place. If you get caught in the act, don't blame me for not warning you!"

"Don't worry, Brother Chen! When it comes to hiding things, no one is better than me!" Zhang Meng said confidently, patting his chest.

Jiang Chen then remembered that when it came to hiding things, the guy in front of him was the master.

"Damn, how can I hide so many things?"

Chu Fei looks like a thick-skinned guy, but he is actually quite cunning. Apart from Jiang Chen, he buys the most things in the class.

However, just because you buy a lot of things doesn’t mean you can take them all away.

On the way to the store, Li Gang told them that he would check everyone's belongings when they set out tomorrow morning. If they were not found on the spot, everything would be fine. If they were found, then he would just treat everyone to breakfast!

"Hey, Feizai, if you really have no place to hide it, you can try putting it in your underwear. I guarantee that the squad leader will not be able to find it!" Li Qiang hid his things and looked at Chu Fei, who was scratching his head while holding a bag of candies, and could not help but teasing him.

"Get lost! What are you thinking of putting food in your underwear? Aren't you afraid of rubbing your second brother's skin off?"

"Ha ha……"

The whole dormitory was instantly filled with laughter.

After laughing, everyone continued to look for places to hide things.

Jiang Chen thought about it, took out a backpack from the cabinet and threw a few candies and chocolates into it. He didn't expect these things to go unnoticed, as long as they could attract Li Gang's attention. Then he put some candies in the gap between the quilt and clothes, and even on both sides of the backpack and the pockets of his clothes.

This tactic is called casting a wide net to catch more fish. There will always be something that survives in so many places.

On the other side, Zhang Meng was still standing in front of the cabinet, busy with something. When Jiang Chen put his backpack away just now, he even saw this guy taking out the sewing box, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.

Five minutes later, Li Gang came back from the toilet. Without asking any questions, he started telling everyone what they needed to bring for tomorrow's training.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare. Field training can be regarded as a follow-up to an emergency assembly.

The things you need to bring are almost the same, a quilt, a small yellow basin, a water bottle, a shoulder bag, at most an extra tent for sleeping at night, plus guns and ammunition...

I'm so fucked!

It was only then that everyone realized, isn't this guy fully armed? !

Recalling the miserable conditions during the five-kilometer load-bearing cross-country run, and thinking about the distance of this field training, the recruits' faces turned pale.

This set of equipment plus the gun would weigh at least 15 kilograms. If I really had to carry this thing for more than a hundred kilometers...

Even Jiang Chen felt a little frightened.

Damn, after this trip, you must be exhausted!

"No, I have to find a place to try it tonight."

During the evening roll call, Ge Hongtao rarely led everyone to continue training. After reminding the recruits of the things they needed to pay attention to during tomorrow's training, he dismissed them.

Before leaving, he did not forget to remind everyone to have a good rest tonight. If they want to have such a comfortable sleep again when the training starts, they will have to wait until the training is over in a week.

However, his words obviously did not have any effect. Everyone continued to do what they were doing. Many people were even inexplicably excited about tomorrow's training.

It's no wonder the recruits are like this. They have been in the army for such a long time, staying in the recruit camp all day long, which is like being in prison. Now they can finally go out and get some fresh air. How can they not be excited?

However, this excitement did not last long. When the actual training began, they realized how comfortable their current life was.

It’s October 22nd, and there’s only one week left until the end of the recruit training.

At five o'clock in the morning, the emergency assembly whistle was blown downstairs without the squad leaders shouting.

Fortunately, everyone had already made preparations last night, so we just needed to pack our blankets and set off.

Quickly pack up your things and go downstairs.

Because this field training will last a long time and we may encounter any situation along the way, everyone is more fully prepared.

For example, when packing a quilt, you need to cover it with a layer of plastic bag on the outside, and you can also stuff a pair of shoes on the edge of the packing tape. Finally, put the magical little yellow basin on top to prevent rain and look beautiful.

In addition to these things, you also need to carry equipment such as a water bottle and a shoulder bag. The shoulder bag needs to contain a raincoat, chemical protective clothing and a gas mask.

At Li Gang's reminder, the students in Class 5 also stuffed in a few pairs of socks, Band-Aids, and sanitary napkins for easy replacement during the training.

Of course, according to the strategy of casting a wide net to catch more fish formulated by Jiang Chen last night, it is natural to put some "war reserve materials" in case of emergency.

Jiang Chen just didn't believe that Li Gang could really open everyone's backpack and check them one by one.

The fact was just as he expected. Li Gang did not check it too carefully. To be more precise, he did not have the time to check it carefully.

Even when checking, as long as it wasn't too excessive, even if Li Gang saw things hidden in people's bags, he would just smile and pretend he didn't notice anything.

Of course, the premise is that you can't go too far. There's nothing wrong with hiding some candies and chocolates, but if you're like Fatty Sun and hide cooked food like chicken legs, then you can't blame Li Gang for being rude.

I don’t know what this guy is thinking. Jiang Chen told him last night that it’s best to eat the chicken leg on the spot. Don’t think about hiding it, or you will definitely be discovered.

As a result, this guy just ignored it...

However, when Jiang Chen turned his head to look at Sun Weichen who was gnawing on a chicken leg with great interest, he suddenly came to his senses.

Damn, I was careless!

For a field training, we won’t let everyone finish breakfast in the cafeteria before setting off…

After each squad leader counted the number of people and confirmed that everything was correct, Ge Hongtao immediately gave the order to set off.

A team of more than one hundred recruits marched out of the camp in a mighty procession.

"Squad leader, how long will it take to get to breakfast?"

Field training is not just walking around aimlessly. Ge Hongtao had already determined the specific training route a month ago.

A week ago, after the second platoon finished their work with the police detective company, Ge Hongtao did not let them leave. Instead, he asked them to act as an advance team to conduct on-site observations of the training route and eliminate possible dangers along the way.

New recruits are not veterans. There are only a few veteran squad leaders such as Li Gang in the entire recruit company, and they have to take care of more than a hundred new recruits. If arrangements are not made in advance, it will be troublesome if something happens.

In addition, various obstacles, dining camps, etc. must be set up during the training. The more than 30 people in the second row are far from enough.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of this training for new recruits, the regiment also sent a logistics support platoon to be responsible for logistics issues.

The recruits now have to go to a dining camp marked on the map. Only there can they have the breakfast they have been longing for.

Wangshan is a dead horse.

It looked like it was only a short distance away on the map, but we had set out at 5:30 in the morning and had been walking until almost 7 o'clock, and there was still no sign of the dining camp.

Li Gang took out the map, took a look and said, "There are still about two kilometers to go. Just hold on a little longer and we'll be there soon."

Seeing Li Gang take out the map, Chu Fei also moved over.

"What are you looking at? Do you understand it or what?" Li Gang folded the map and put it into his bag, then slapped Chu Fei on the helmet and scolded with a smile.

"Hehe, I'm just curious." Seeing that the squad leader was about to take action, Chu Fei shrank his neck and quickly turned his head away.

Jiang Chen, who was following behind, was also very curious about the map in Li Gang's bag.

He was not curious about what was on the map, but was curious about how veterans like Li Gang relied on a map to determine their location.

You have to know that this is not a city. All you can see are dense jungles and trees, and there are no landmarks for you to refer to.

Without professional training, even if you have a map in front of you, it will probably be of no use.

"Haha, don't look at it. I will teach you these things after the next company."

"Oh."

Jiang Chen nodded, and inexplicably remembered a sentence Ge Hongtao once said.

The recruit company is just a preschool class. You are still a long way from being a qualified soldier, and there are still many things to learn...
