My Military Career in a Parallel World

Wow…

Jiang Chen was washing the mop while fetching water. Compared to the crowded toilet, there were not many people in the water room. Apart from him, there were only two new recruits washing the rags with the small yellow basins they had just received.

After cleaning the mop and almost filling the bucket with water, Jiang Chen picked up the bucket and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the bathroom door, he heard a sudden commotion downstairs. Then Jiang Chen saw Li Gang and the monitors of other classes on the third floor walking up from the stairs with notebooks in their hands.

Several squad leaders did not return to the dormitory, but went straight to the toilet inside the corridor.

Seeing the gloomy expressions on Li Gang and others' faces, Jiang Chen said in his heart: "Not good."

Including Li Qiang, Chu Fei and others who came later, and Zhang Meng who hasn't come out yet, almost the entire class was in the toilet. What would happen if they were caught!

In a hurry, Jiang Chen didn't care about much. He quickly put the bucket and mop aside, then straightened his back and shouted in the direction of several squad leaders: "Hello, squad leaders!"

Jiang Chen's roar was like dropping a huge rock into the calm water, causing huge waves.

The toilet, which was only separated by a wall, immediately became a mess.

When several squad leaders heard Jiang Chen's shout, their faces changed instantly, and they immediately quickened their pace and trotted towards the toilet.

When the squad leader passed by the washroom, he deliberately glanced at Jiang Chen at the door, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance into his mind.

As for Li Gang behind him, he strode up to Jiang Chen, stared at him with a murderous look, and said viciously: "You like to show off, don't you? Well, stand still and don't move. Wait until I finish my business, and then I'll show you how I deal with you!"

After saying that, he followed the other squad leaders into the toilet without caring about Jiang Chen's reaction.

……

Although Jiang Chen reminded the recruits in the toilet to put out their cigarettes before the squad leaders arrived, the smoky scene in the toilet and the cigarette butts that had not been flushed clean in the puddle told them what had just happened.

Under the gloomy and murderous gazes of the squad leaders, a group of recruits walked out of the toilet in a line with their heads lowered.

"Why are you all keeping your heads down? Lift your heads up!"

A squad leader walked to the front of the team and shouted at the new recruits who were hanging their heads.

The new recruits raised their heads reluctantly, avoiding looking directly at the squad leaders in front of them.

"Humph, you guys are quite capable. You almost turned the toilet into a fairyland. I can see the smoke coming out of the window from 800 meters away. If you don't know, you would think our dormitory building of the recruit company is on fire!"

The squad leader's scolding made the new recruits lower their heads involuntarily.

At this time, it was not only the third floor where they were, but also the second and first floors below where the same situation occurred.

Listening to the faint scolding coming from downstairs, and then turning around to look at the group of new recruits who were still being scolded, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a bad feeling.

There is still some distance from the first floor to the third floor. If they had not discussed it in advance, it would not have been such a coincidence that as soon as the noise came from downstairs, Li Gang and the others happened to walk to the stairs and had no chance to run away.

If Jiang Chen hadn't happened to come out of the washroom, the fate of these recruits would have been even worse.

"I'm afraid the hard days for the recruit company are about to begin now!"

Looking at the serious expressions of those veteran squad leaders, Jiang Chen knew that the real life in the recruit company was about to begin.

The recruit company is the starting point of every soldier's military career. It is also the key to tempering one's will and shaping one's character, and it cannot tolerate any carelessness.

In three months, these new recruits who come from all over the world and have strange, flamboyant, or low self-esteem personalities will truly understand what the army is, what discipline is, and what a soldier is!

……

The squad leaders' scolding lasted for ten minutes. Just when the recruits thought that the matter was over, the squad leader issued a new order.

All the new recruits, including those who had been hiding in the dormitory to watch the fun, gathered downstairs.

As soon as they walked downstairs, they saw the company commander and instructor whom they had just met not long ago and a group of platoon leaders waiting at the door.

Jiang Chen and his group were the last recruits to arrive. The open space in front of the dormitory building was already full of people, and all the recruits in the entire recruit company had been called down.

There was no scolding or cursing as expected. Ge Hongtao walked to the front of the team calmly, glanced around, and said calmly: "I didn't expect you guys were so reluctant to part with me. You're trying to find a way to meet me after we've just separated for a while!"

No one said anything, and no one dared to say anything.

Although Ge Hongtao's tone was calm, everyone could hear the anger in his words.

Sure enough, after the calm, there came a violent storm.

"Turn around and take a good look at your masterpiece!" Ge Hongtao shouted, pointing at the dormitory building that was still emitting wisps of white smoke.

"Look at the way you are standing in a crooked line now. Tell me, do you deserve the clothes you are wearing?!"

"Are you worthy of wearing this military uniform?!"

"Class leaders!"

"To!"

At Ge Hongtao's command, ten veteran soldiers serving as squad leaders stepped out of the formation in unison.

"Take them back and make them take off their clothes! They don't deserve to wear this military uniform!!!"

"Yes!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Move faster!!!"

Hundreds of new recruits were driven into the dormitory building like ducks by a group of veteran squad leaders.

The veteran squad leaders stopped pretending and revealed their true faces, putting away their daytime smiles and replacing them with a serious look. If they walked a little slower, they would immediately be scolded.

Under the urging of the squad leaders, in less than five minutes, all the recruits gathered at the entrance of the dormitory building.

"Well, it looks much better now!"

Looking at the new recruits who were stripped down to their vests and shorts, Ge Hongtao smiled with satisfaction.

However, things obviously cannot end so simply.

His eyes passed over the new recruits and looked at the three platoon leaders on the side. Ge Hongtao continued, "Platoon leader!"

"To!"

"Take these people to the playground. Run five kilometers. Go back when you finish!"

"Yes!"

After Zhao Hongbin saluted, he turned to face the new recruits and ordered, "Turn left! Target playground, run!"

Perhaps everything changed too quickly. After Zhao Hongbin gave the order, many people failed to react immediately. Some stood still, while others turned in the wrong direction. The team suddenly became chaotic.

Although everyone adjusted themselves quickly, this scene was so glaring in the eyes of Company Commander Ge Hongtao.

After so many years in the army, he had long been accustomed to the soldiers' uniform movements. When he suddenly saw the crooked formations of the new recruits, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.

"Alright, don't form a team, everyone, follow my command, and run to the target playground!"

Waving his hand to interrupt the squad and platoon leaders who were about to step forward to form a line, Ge Hongtao gave direct orders.

Ge Hongtao's extremely ugly expression turned into a series of death warrants roared out from the mouths of the squad leaders, urging the group of new recruits to rush to the playground.
