End of the World

In the morning, everyone was eating breakfast in a dull mood, except Dafeng, who was still eating with hearty mouthfuls, not affected at all. Sometimes Wu Bin wished he could be like Dafeng, without any worries.

"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you eating?" Dafeng was very surprised to see that no one was eating.

"Yuxin, Zihan, what's wrong with you? Your eyes are red?" Dafeng noticed that their eyes were red and didn't know what was wrong.

The others were speechless. Was Dafeng really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Couldn’t they figure out why?

"Okay, let's get ready!" Wu Bin put down his bowl and chopsticks. The sad atmosphere of parting was diluted a little by Dafeng's interference.

"Wu Bin, here!" He Yuxin came over and handed Wu Bin a small purse.

Wu Bin took it. The purse didn't look good at all. He squeezed it and found some hair inside. There was a small tuft of hair on He Yuxin's head that couldn't reach behind her ears.

"I made this myself. I can't sew, so it doesn't look very good."

Wu Bin put it close to his body and said with a smile: "No, it's the best for me!" Wu Bin is not superstitious but this amulet means a lot to him.

It was time to say goodbye. The others saw Wu Bin and the other two out to the door. No one spoke, even Dafeng, who was always active, remained silent.

"Wait for us to come back!" Wu Bin waved to everyone, then walked towards the military camp without looking back. Qiao Xinghua and Dafeng followed him from behind, and no one dared to look back, for fear of not being able to bear it.

Wu Bin didn't know how he got to the military camp until he saw the crowd standing in the military camp square. He came to his senses. The three people in the military camp were familiar to him, especially Wu Bin and Dafeng. This time, the three of them came here to apply for military service.

"Let's go, let's go register!" Wu Bin exhaled, collected his thoughts, and went back alive for the one he loved most!

There are quite a few people like Wu Bin. Almost all of them are worried. Most of them are afraid. It is more of a fear of zombies than a fear of joining the army. You know, the army is at the forefront.

Those who had registered entered the square and waited for arrangements. The square was crowded and lively, but a closer look showed that they were obviously gathered in groups of three or five. Many of them were alone, sitting on the ground pulling weeds to pass the time. Compared to those lone wolves, Wu Bin was glad that he had three people on his side, so he would not be bullied after arriving at the army.

The three of them found an open space and sat down and waited. After that, more people came to report, but it was hard to tell whether they came voluntarily.

"Brother Bin, will we be in the same group with Lao Zhu when we go in?" Dafeng looked at the clearly divided crowd.

"Not likely!" Wu Bin hoped to join Lao Zhu's army to take care of him. He didn't know what happened to Chen Guangjun, and there was still no news.

After waiting for about an hour, several military vehicles drove to the edge of the square and several officers got out of the vehicles. They walked straight to the center of the square and the square gradually became quiet.

After the square quieted down, the leading officer began to give a speech: "Welcome to join the big family of the army. First of all, I want to make it clear to you that you will no longer be alone, but comrades fighting side by side!"

"From the moment you step through the gate, you are a soldier, and a soldier must obey orders. I hope that there will be no deserters in the following training!"

The officer spoke for more than ten minutes, mostly talking about the responsibilities and missions of soldiers. It is unknown how many people in the square listened to him.

The officer seemed to realize that he was wasting his breath and directly announced the start of the distribution. The 4,000 people present would be organized into four regiments, each with 1,000 people. A regiment would be divided into two battalions, each with 500 people. People who were familiar with the military structure found that the number of people at the regiment and battalion levels had been reduced, probably for the convenience of management.

The newly formed troops were called new regiments. Wu Bin and his two companions were assigned to the New Fourth Regiment. These regiments were composed entirely of new recruits, with no veterans, so one can imagine what would happen when the war broke out.

After the assignment was completed, Wu Bin and the other two followed the New Fourth Regiment to its training ground. The regiment commander was a lieutenant colonel. After a brief speech, he let the two major battalion commanders choose their own people.

Wu Bin and his two companions were assigned to the Second Battalion of the New Fourth Regiment. The battalion commander was a dark-skinned man with a slightly hoarse voice.

"Welcome to my home, boys. This is my territory. I hope you all behave yourself!"

After hearing what the second battalion commander said, some people were dissatisfied. Who were they calling a bastard? Fortunately, they were pulled back by their companions, otherwise they would have suffered a lot.

"Don't be dissatisfied. Whoever has a higher rank is the boss here!" The second battalion commander glanced at them and pointed at the rank badge on his arm.

"So I'm going to teach you how to be good sons of bitches. If you don't accept it, let me call you daddy when you become higher in rank than me in the future!"

Wu Bin found it somewhat amusing. This Second Battalion Commander was quite a clever man. Was he trying to provoke him?

"After all this talk, let me introduce myself. My name is White. If you have heard this name somewhere, don't doubt it, that's the guy with the same name as me!" said the second battalion commander shamelessly.

"Brother Bin, this guy is quite interesting!" Dafeng whispered into Wu Bin's ear.

"Shh!" Wu Bin immediately signaled Dafeng not to speak. He would definitely be criticized if he was caught. As for the second battalion commander, he was not necessarily interesting. He just arrived and knew nothing.

"I can tell you clearly that you only have fifteen days of training, and you will have to participate in an operation after fifteen days, so I need you to be fully alert. If you want to come back alive, you must train hard with all your might. The more you sweat, the less you bleed!" The second battalion commander stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand, asking the two company commanders to select people and form two companies. The remaining people will all belong to the battalion headquarters.

This was not in line with the previous organization, but the previous zombie attacks on the shelter caused a large number of casualties, especially grassroots officers. The new troops do not have enough non-commissioned officers to fill the positions, and will not set up class and platoon-level units for the time being.

The two company commanders picked out 200 people, and the remaining 300 were all under the command of the second battalion commander. After picking out two companies, the second battalion commander White said loudly to the remaining 300 people: "From now on, you are under my command. To be honest, it is not an honor because you are all new recruits, so I hope that you can keep up with my pace and make up for my fragile heart that is easily hurt!"

"Everyone has it, run five kilometers!"

No one dared to object and stood up to run. Due to malnutrition, many people were paralyzed after running only one thousand meters. They usually did not have the energy to run when they could not even eat enough.

"Get up! If this was the front line, you would be dead!" White drove away those who were slumped on the ground, but very few people obeyed. Many people just said "do whatever you want", which made White very angry.

In the end, only a dozen people or so, including Wu Bin and the other two, persevered to the end. White had some confidence in everyone. The failure rate in physical training was over 90%. If they were to run and march, it would be a big problem.

"How can you let me call you dad with such little ability? It's shameful to be my son!" White scolded again, but shook his head in his heart. Except for a dozen people who finished the five kilometers, the rest would probably be slaughtered on the battlefield.

After completing several other projects, White led everyone to collect the equipment. The physical training results were terrible, so it was better to turn a blind eye to them to avoid getting angry.

Everyone's equipment was standard infantry equipment, including guns, bulletproof vests, and combat uniforms. Many people were touching a gun for the first time, so they were very excited.

The guns of the 95 people are not exactly the same. About a hundred of them are holding 81 assault rifles, and the others are all holding assault rifles, which will increase logistical pressure.

Wu Bin and the other two were all assigned to Type 95 rifles. In fact, there has been an endless debate about the performance of the two rifles. Wu Bin personally feels that the Type 95 has good stability and is lightweight, while the Type 81 has greater penetration and power than the Type 95. In any case, as a standard rifle widely equipped by the troops, the Type 95 should have its merits.

The first day after arriving was spent listening to the loud voice of the second battalion commander White. Some big brothers in particular enjoyed the distinguished treatment of individual lectures. I guess their heads were buzzing when they slept at night.

Since we had arrived at the army, we were not allowed to return to our personal tents, and everyone was arranged to squeeze into new tents.

The next day, the wakeup horn blew and the people in the tents woke up one after another. The army had good food and many people were full of energy after a night's rest.

White was not happy with the speed at which everyone gathered, and was inevitably punished.

"Is it hard? Are you tired?"

"Not hard! Not tiring!"

"Very good! I like you to speak with a clear conscience. Everyone has it. Grab your equipment and run!" Seeing everyone panting, White was very satisfied.

"...!"

No one dared to disobey, and those who had disobeyed before were either given one-on-one online tutoring or taken away by the patrol team and never returned.

Two more days passed, and everyone gradually adapted to this training method. At the same time, they understood more deeply that the current suffering was for a better life tomorrow, and they were gritting their teeth and persevering.

During the lunch break that day, White suddenly broke into the tent and called Wu Bin and the other two away. The three were very puzzled and went out to find that it was Chen Guangjun who was looking for them.

Chen Guangjun had heard about the army's conscription. When he returned to the RV camp, he learned that Wu Bin, Dafeng and Qiao Xinghua had enlisted. Chen Guangjun immediately went to Lao Zhu to inquire about the matter and came here.

"How does it feel to be a soldier?" Chen Guangjun looked at the three men with a smile, and saw that their young faces had a hint of determination. He believed that the three men must have gained something from the training.

"Brother Jun, I suddenly realized that you were the best to me back then!" Dafeng sighed.

Chen Guangjun smiled. Dafeng was talking about the time when he was in the factory. He served as an instructor and trained everyone for a month. At that time, considering everyone's physical condition, the intensity of many training sessions was reduced a lot.

"Because you are already soldiers, you must meet the military standards. You should also know that you will be participating in an important operation. If your physical strength is not up to the mark, find ways to improve your shooting and other skills."

Wu Bin heard what Chen Guangjun said and felt that he was saying something else, so he asked, "Brother Chen, do you know something?"

Chen Guangjun looked around and said in a low voice, "Old Zhu asked me to tell you that this operation will most likely be led by the new regiment!"
