My Military Career in a Parallel World

Three hundred and six.

Ten new recruits stood in two rows in the dormitory. The veteran squad leader walked to the center of the team, looked around and said, "My name is Li Gang. I will be your squad leader for the next three months. I hope you can cooperate with me in these three months."

"I'll start calling the roll now. Everyone should answer when I call!" After saying that, Li Gang didn't waste any more words. He took out the folder tucked under his arm and started calling the roll.

Roll call had already been done once when the classes were divided. The purpose of this roll call is mainly to allow the new recruits to get to know each other.

After all, they will be roommates in the same dormitory for the next three months.

"Zhang Meng!"

"To!"

Coincidentally, Zhang Meng, who had gotten along well with Jiang Chen on the truck, was assigned to the same class as him when the classes were divided.

"Chu Fei!"

"To!"

The second recruit whose name was called was the one whose long hair Li Gang had torn in the open space before.

"Li Qiang!"

"To!"

Jiang Chen noticed this new recruit when he was first assigned to a class.

There was no way. The other person was really big. He was estimated to be about 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a strong waist. It was hard not to notice him.

"Sun Weicheng!"

"To!"

This new recruit was the one who had been carrying a backpack of food.

"Zhou Xinghai!"

"To!"

"He Wenjie!"

"To!"

……

When we first arrived at the army, most people behaved rather restrained, except for a few who were more cautious.

However, today is the first day for the new recruits to join the army, so Li Gang did not pay too much attention to it. He quickly called out all the names so that everyone had an impression of each other. Then Li Gang began to assign beds and lockers to everyone.

"Except for the lower bunk near the door, you can use the other beds as you like."

"It's the same with the cabinets here. Each person has one. After you choose one, you can write your name next to it."

"I'll give you ten minutes now!"

Seeing that no one responded, Li Gang raised his voice and asked, "Did you understand?!"

"I understand!"

Everyone reacted and responded quickly.

After saying this, Li Gang did not stay in the dormitory any longer. He turned around and left with the folder.

Li Gang's figure disappeared outside the door. Everyone in the dormitory remained standing without moving, and the atmosphere was a bit cold.

There was no other way. Although everyone was now considered a comrade-in-arms who ate from the same pot, to be honest, no one knew each other before this. At most, when Li Gang called out the names just now, he had a general impression of the people around him...

"I'll choose this bed!"

After a long silence, someone finally couldn't help but speak.

Jiang Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw the 1.9-meter-tall, muscular recruit Li Qiang.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Qiang touched his nose awkwardly and explained, "Well...it's really inconvenient for me to sleep on the upper bunk with my body shape. It would be bad if the bed can't hold up and falls down and hits someone."

As soon as someone started talking, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

"Haha, that's true. With your figure, if you live on the upper bunk, I'm afraid no one would dare to sleep under you." Chu Fei continued with a smile.

While chatting, everyone's hands did not slow down at all, and they all started to rush to get up the bed.

Jiang Chen took a step back and came to a bed near the window in the middle of the dormitory and said, "Then I'll choose this one!"

"Brother Jiang, I want to sleep on the same bed with you!" Zhang Meng said quickly and walked to the bed chosen by Jiang Chen.

There are only a few beds in good positions, and the most popular one is undoubtedly the lower bunk by the window.

This was because Jiang Chen's reaction speed was quick, and when he was lining up to enter the dormitory, he leaned towards this side intentionally or unintentionally, so he was able to grab the bed first.

In less than two minutes, everyone had basically decided on their own beds. Although some people were not very satisfied with the position of their beds, they did not cause conflicts over such a small matter.

After dividing the beds, the next step is to divide the cabinets.

There’s nothing to fight over here, everyone can claim one.

Most of everyone's luggage was stored in the baggage storage, and there was not much stuff brought to the dormitory, mostly things like underwear and socks.

No, except for one person.

"Dude, can you handle all this fruit by yourself? Do you need help?"

Looking at the large and small packages of food in Sun Weichen's cupboard, Chu Fei on the side made a teasing remark.

Another recruit named Luo Ming also came over and said, "Hey, buddy, you are really amazing. Why did you bring so much food to the army?"

"I heard that we were going to join the army in the south, so I thought about bringing some food for the journey. I wasn't paying attention when I was packing, and I accidentally brought too much..."

As he spoke, Sun Weichen took out a bag of bananas from the cupboard and began to distribute them to everyone.

"You're welcome, each of you can help me share some of the burden."

Everyone didn't have much stuff, so they packed up quickly. Seeing that squad leader Li Gang hadn't returned yet, everyone simply sat on their beds and started chatting.

"Hey, do you think that the army is really like what people say outside, with training every day and a set time limit for meals?"

"It's not like they train every day. My cousin was a soldier, and he said the army also has holidays. And some soldiers don't even have to train. They just muddle through every day and leave when the time is up."

"Is there such a good thing?"

When people heard that no training was required, they immediately became interested.

Not everyone joins the army voluntarily. Some are forced to join the army by their families. All these people want to do is to stay for two years and then pack up and go back.

"Tsk, what's the point of being a soldier like this? You can barely touch a gun a year. Soldiers must go to places where they can shoot guns, otherwise, we've come here for nothing!"

Some people disagree with this. It is not the 1980s or 1990s now. Although military dramas have not yet become popular, there are many things about the military on the Internet.

We are all young people in our teens and 18s. How many of you at this age have not been exposed to the Internet?

If you are a little smarter, you will definitely have looked up information online before coming here.

There are soldiers who don't need to train and just spend their days waiting to be discharged, but where are they?

It's either a barren desert like Class 5 on the grassland, or a pig-raising class on a farm.

You only touch a gun a few times throughout the year. No one with a little ambition would be willing to go to such a hellhole.

Don't underestimate the appeal of guns to men.

Among the ten people here, who hasn’t bought a few toy guns when they were young and played a few shooting games with their friends to see who had better shooting skills and was more accurate?

So, when the word "gun" was mentioned, the expressions on everyone's faces became visibly excited.

No one mentioned the previous topic again, and everyone began to fantasize about the scene after touching the gun.

"Hey, tell me, are real guns the same as the ones in the game? I'm really good at CS, if they are the same..."

"Tsk, how can it be like the game? It's all fake. You might as well buy a toy gun!"

"Toy gun? Don't tell me, I can shoot very accurately with my toy gun..."
