My Military Career in a Parallel World

New week, new atmosphere.

It has been a week since the new recruits joined the army. It is naturally impossible for them to simply run laps, do a few push-ups, sit-ups, stand at attention, and practice marching like they did last week.

However, training requires gradual progress. You can't increase the intensity too high at the beginning, you have to do it step by step.

The training content on Monday is mainly to consolidate and review the learning content of the previous week. The only difference may be that the training volume is a little beyond everyone's imagination.

For push-ups and sit-ups, the starting number is 100 and there is no upper limit.

Pull-ups, frog jumps and squats, which were originally only performed during physical training in the afternoon, have now become the norm and are trained in the morning, noon and evening.

There were a lot of things to do on Monday morning. After the flag-raising ceremony, there was an award ceremony for the mobile red flag for the housekeeping evaluation, and the second platoon leader, the fourth squad leader, and the new recruit who secretly hid the cell phone had to come forward one by one to do self-criticism.

After finishing the morning training, the usual routine is to work overtime at noon to fold quilts or recite rules and regulations.

Although Jiang Chen passed both tests, he was the deputy monitor, so it was impossible for him to take a rest.

However, it is not completely without benefits.

"Jiang Chen!"

"To!"

Jiang Chen, who was supervising Chu Fei and others to fold quilts and recite rules and regulations, quickly stood up and responded when he heard this.

"Come out with me." Li Gang didn't say anything, just asked Jiang Chen to follow him.

"Yes!"

"I'm going to be out with the deputy monitor for a while. You all know what's going on!" Before leaving, Li Gang did not forget to warn the other people in the dormitory.

Without paying attention to other people's reactions, Li Gang took Jiang Chen straight out of the dormitory and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Li Gang didn't tell him what he was going to do until he passed the sentry standing guard at the door. Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Squad leader, where are we going?"

Glancing at Jiang Chen, Li Gang said two words calmly: "Supermarket!"

"Ah? Ah! Is it true, squad leader?!" Jiang Chen was stunned at first, then he almost cried out in surprise after he realized what was happening.

Turning his head and glaring at him, Li Gang said in a deep voice: "Keep your voice down!"

"Oh...oh..." Jiang Chen nodded quickly.

Li Gang glanced around, then took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Chen, whispering, "This is your exit slip. If anyone asks you later, just say you came with me to help move things."

Jiang Chen took the thing Li Gang handed over, opened it and took a sneak peek. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I understand. I'm definitely not talking nonsense."

After explaining everything, the two men quickened their pace and walked towards the camp gate.

There were four sentries guarding the gate. You would have thought this was not a recruit camp but some important military base.

The sentries at the gate of the recruit camp were all soldiers from the guard company directly under the regiment headquarters. Li Gang was not familiar with them, so after a routine check to make sure there were no problems with the exit passes, he let the two out.

Walking out of the gate of the recruit camp, Jiang Chen was looking around curiously, but Li Gang beside him seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and looked at him seriously and said: "By the way, when we get to the regiment headquarters later, don't run around or look around, follow me, where I go you go!"

"Did you hear that?!"

"Ah...ah...yes, I will definitely complete the task." Jiang Chen was confused by his sudden serious expression.

Seeing Jiang Chen's reaction, Li Gang was still a little worried, and continued seriously: "I'm not kidding you, let me tell you, the headquarters of our regiment's patrol brigade is inside the regiment headquarters, and these bastards hang around in the regiment headquarters all day, especially on Mondays, just waiting to catch a few people to boost performance..."

"In principle, recruits are strictly prohibited from going out unless under special circumstances. So, if you are caught by them, not only will you be criticized, but I, the platoon leader, and even the company commander and instructor will also be punished!"

After saying that, Li Gang thought for a moment and felt that it was still a little unsafe, so he added: "What if, I mean what if, what if you really encounter patrols, don't panic, everything depends on my instructions, and when I tell you to run, don't hesitate, and don't worry about where to run, just run as fast as you can and don't let them catch you.

If you really can't run away, just go inside the barracks when you come across them. If someone asks you what you are doing, just say you are being chased by the damn patrol. Generally, they won't make it too difficult for you..."

"Ah?!" Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard it.

It's just going to the supermarket, is it that serious? !

Although he was a little confused, he still secretly kept Li Gang's advice in mind.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be prepared for the worst, because you never know when you might need it.

Two people form a row, three people form a line.

Jiang Chen and Li Gang walked side by side. Along the way, he kept Li Gang's instructions in mind. Although he was extremely curious, he still resisted the urge to look around. At most, he would glance at them out of the corner of his eyes when passing by.

We arrived at the supermarket safely.

The supermarket in the regiment headquarters is not the canteen in the company. It is almost the same as the chain supermarkets outside and sells everything.

There are not only common packaged foods, beverages, tobacco, alcohol, etc., but also fresh fruits and vegetables, and even flour, rice, steamed buns, noodles, etc.

"Squad leader, this..." Jiang Chen pointed to the shelf selling fruits and vegetables and looked at Li Gang with a puzzled look.

Li Gang knew what he wanted to ask, and explained casually: "Our regiment is far away from the county town, and there are family members accompanying the troops. It is impossible for everyone to eat in the cafeteria every day."

"Oh."

Fifty yuan is not a lot, but not a little either. In this era, fifty yuan still has a lot of purchasing power.

I bought a lot of snacks and spicy chips, as well as two large buckets of Pepsi. I also bought a few packs of instant noodles in case of emergency.

Not only did Jiang Chen spend all the fifty yuan, he also paid a lot out of pocket.

"I didn't realize you had quite a lot of money hidden on you." Li Gang said with interest as he watched Jiang Chen take out a few red bills.

"Hey, squad leader, please don't slander me. You have agreed to this money!" Jiang Chen turned his head and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and replied with a smile.

"Huh? When did I agree? How come I didn't know it?!" Li Gang raised his eyebrows.

"Squad leader, don't tell me that you didn't find the money in my pocket when you were rummaging through my clothes. Since you didn't say anything, isn't that equivalent to tacit consent?"

"Haha, your brain works pretty quickly. Spend your money sparingly, as you will need it later." Li Gang said with a smile. His tone seemed to be reminding someone intentionally, but it also seemed as if he had said nothing.

Regardless of whether Jiang Chen understood what he meant or not, as soon as Jiang Chen paid the bill, Li Gang started to chase him away: "Okay, don't block the door after you buy something. Go out and wait. I'll buy something else."

"Tsk, you just want to buy cigarettes, I won't gossip around..." Jiang Chen muttered as he walked out after being kicked out of the supermarket.

After watching Jiang Chen walk out of the supermarket, Li Gang turned around and asked the boss at the counter for two packs of cigarettes, and specifically asked the boss to pack them in a black plastic bag.

Jiang Chen guessed correctly, Li Gang wanted to buy cigarettes, and he didn’t want to buy them just for himself.

Among them, one was bought for the company commander, and the other one was split equally between him and the platoon leader.

After returning, there is no need to separate them. Just put the two packs of cigarettes in the company commander's office. When you want to smoke, just go there...

Thinking in his mind, Li Gang tucked the cigarette under his arm and walked out of the supermarket door.

"Huh?!" As soon as Li Gang reached the gate, his heart inexplicably tightened.

Jiang Chen, who was at the door just now, disappeared, leaving only two large bags on the ground.

"Fuck, what the hell is this kid doing?!" Li Gang was a little panicked. He was about to shout Jiang Chen's name, but then he remembered that this was the regiment headquarters, and if he made a loud noise, it might attract those bastards and that would be bad.

Li Gang trotted to the middle of the road and looked around for Jiang Chen.

There is only one road in front of the supermarket, and there is no place to hide around it. You can basically see the edge at a glance.

It’s just that it would be fine if you didn’t look at it, because once you do, you’ll be shocked!

As soon as he walked to the side of the road, Li Gang saw several people in white hats chasing a man about two or three hundred meters away.

"Oh my god, this person couldn't be..." Thinking of this possibility, Li Gang's heart couldn't help but start beating wildly.

Although the distance was a bit far, Li Gang's eyesight was pretty good. Plus, they had been together for such a long time, and just by looking at his running posture and back, Li Gang was sure that the person being chased like a rabbit by the patrol was Jiang Chen. He looked up at the epaulettes and saw that they were completely bare.

This time it was completely confirmed.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Li Gang's forehead. Countless thoughts were running through his mind, but he couldn't think of any specific solution. He was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles.

Catch up?

This is just walking into someone's trap. If Jiang Chen runs away, it would be him, the squad leader, who would be detained by the patrol. That would be extremely embarrassing.

Don't you want to chase?

That won't work either. What if this kid is mistaken for a deserter by the patrol and is taken directly to see the regiment commander and the political commissar? Although he can just explain it clearly in the end, the company commander will definitely criticize him.

If the company commander is unlucky, the platoon leader who let them out will also be unlucky. If the platoon leader is unlucky, how can he, the squad leader, be good? !

Finally, Li Gang decided to go over and take a look. Just a look. If this kid Jiang Chen could really run away, then everything would be fine. In case he was caught, he would be mentally prepared.

He quickly returned to the supermarket and temporarily left the things at the door and the cigarette tucked under his arm with the supermarket owner. Li Gang checked his disguise and after making sure there was no problem, he quickly chased in the direction Jiang Chen had just escaped.

Time goes back to five minutes ago.

Li Gang was buying cigarettes at the counter, while Jiang Chen was standing at the entrance of the supermarket with two large bags of things, looking around boredly.

At this moment, two white hats suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

At the beginning, although Jiang Chen had some doubts in his heart, he did not do anything extreme.

But when he saw the two men in white hats first pointing at the entrance of the supermarket, and then walking straight towards him.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and when their eyes met, Jiang Chen was sure that the two white hats were coming for him!

"Hello, comrade!"

Originally, he still held out a glimmer of hope, but after hearing these words, Li Gang's previous instructions flashed through his mind. Jiang Chen no longer hesitated, dropped the things in his hands, looked in a certain direction, and ran.

For soldiers, the patrol officer's "Hello, comrade" is just as powerful as Shen Gongbao's "Friend, please stay."

So, when he saw the man in the white hat on the opposite side saluting him, Jiang Chen ran away without even thinking, without even saying hello to Li Gang.

While running, Jiang Chen took the time to look back.

Damn, how can these two white hats run so fast in leather shoes? !

It turned out that the two patrols were not left far behind, and the distance between them was no more than ten meters.

Jiang Chen was even more afraid to relax now. He ran for his life, not caring what was ahead. He just kept rushing forward.

They met several teams of patrolling soldiers on the road. Some of them noticed that Jiang Chen had no epaulettes on his shoulders and wanted to stop him to ask what was going on. However, when they saw the two men in white hats chasing him, they immediately turned their heads away and looked straight ahead, pretending that they saw nothing, and let Jiang Chen run past them.

As Jiang Chen ran, he came to a row of neatly arranged three-story buildings.

He was not very familiar with the terrain of the regiment headquarters. It was easy on the main road before, he just had to run. But now that he came to this place, he couldn't even tell the directions. How could he possibly outrun the patrolmen who were familiar with the terrain?

These two white hats must be born in the Year of the Dog, how can they run so fast?!

Feeling that his physical strength was almost exhausted, he looked back and saw two men in white hats following him like dog-skin plasters. Jiang Chen couldn't help but curse in his heart.

After passing through another row of buildings and passing by a building, when he saw the sentry standing guard at the door, Jiang Chen suddenly had an idea and remembered what Li Gang had told him before.

"If you really can't run away, just go inside the barracks you come across. If someone asks you what you're doing, just say you're being chased by the damn patrol. Normally, they won't make it too difficult for you..."

Although he was a little nervous and didn't know whether Li Gang's words were reliable, he couldn't care less about the situation before him. He spotted a building and rushed over.

The sentry standing guard at the door saw someone running towards him, especially when he saw that Jiang Chen didn't even have an epaulette on his shoulder, he subconsciously prepared to scold him.

"Sergeant, squad leader, let me in quickly, there is a man in a white hat chasing me!" Jiang Chen shouted without waiting for the sentry to speak.

At first, the sentry didn't care much, but when he heard the words "white hat", his expression immediately changed.

Standing on tiptoe and glancing back, he saw that there were indeed two white hats running towards him. He made way without further ado and said, "Go in and find a dormitory to hide in. Leave these two guys to me. Just because you called me squad leader, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you!"

"Thank you, squad leader!" Jiang Chen thanked him and quickly went into the dormitory building.
