Chapter 148 Inspection Mission
Just as everyone returned to their seats, Instructor Ren stood up again and shouted:
"Quiet!"
The martial arts arena suddenly became quiet.
Instructor Ren looked at these teams. He was actually satisfied in his heart, but he couldn't show it too much on his face. He just said calmly:
“Two months have passed. This is the end of your basic weapons training. There will be other projects after that, such as learning introductory martial arts, spears, horsemanship, etc.
You just need to follow the arrangements later.
What I want to say now is that you will start taking turns to patrol the north gate of Pingwu City.
Two teams form a group, and you have exactly ten teams. Team one and team six are one group, team two and team seven are one group, and so on, totaling five groups.
The same is true for the other teams.
The five groups in our team are responsible for patrolling at midnight every day this month, and at 1 a.m. next month, they will take turns on duty.
Starting tomorrow, the first group, namely teams one and six, will report to the north gate.
What exactly you need to do during patrol and what the requirements are will be taught by the officer who will take over your duties.
Listen carefully, although I, as your instructor, will not be responsible for guiding you after you leave, no matter what you say, you are also soldiers trained by me. I don't want to hear others say that I have trained a bunch of trash! Bastards! Softies!
So, everyone, please behave well and don't bring shame to our team, got it?"
"Know!"
"Louder, I can't hear you! Got it?"
"Know!"
"Very good," Instructor Ren nodded with satisfaction, "Now, hand in all your weapons. Later, you will have your own special weapons, and I hope that you can take good care of them and use them well. The training results of the past two months have been quite good. Today is a short vacation for you. Go back to the tents and have a good rest in the remaining half day. However, you cannot leave the barracks like a day off. Tomorrow will be training as usual. The team that will participate in the patrol tomorrow can come a little later the day after tomorrow to make up for the rest time at night. The same goes for other teams afterwards. Okay, disband!"
After saying this, Instructor Ren had the two doctors sent back.
These two doctors were of no use today. They just watched the show from the sidelines, which was quite relaxing.
Boxes had been placed in front in advance, and several veterans were already standing there, responsible for collecting these used novice weapons, counting the number, and recording the damage.
Everyone lined up and stepped forward one by one, placing their weapons into the box.
When it came to Ye Qiongying's team, the old soldier standing next to the box said with a smile:
"Your name is Ye Qiongying? Not bad. Your team is great. After the recruit training is over, if you need to join another team, you can consider us."
Another veteran nearby said quickly:
"Hey, hey, hey! We're still here. There's no reason to start recruiting new people so early!"
Yao Dachuan was also recruited.
Even the other dozen or so teammates showed their goodwill.
When we returned, everyone had smiles on their faces. It was obviously the first time they felt so valued.
Even someone as reserved as Yao Dachuan could see his excitement and joy at this moment.
After walking a distance, he said to the others:
“The initial training has ended, and the later stages are basically advanced training, so the physical requirements are not that different.
You can take off the sandbags on your bodies now."
"Ah? Can I finally take it off? Or...or should I wear it for a while longer?" Yao Manfu was surprised at first, and then, with some hesitation, he proposed the idea of wearing it a little longer.
Others followed suit:
"Brother Dayao, if we take it off now, will the effect not be that good? Or should we keep wearing it until the end of the recruit training period?"
When they were first asked to wear this thing, they thought it was troublesome!
Also.
As they were also new recruits participating in the training, the others went into battle lightly.
They have to tie two heavy sandbags on their legs, and every step they take requires more energy than others.
Their ranking was not high to begin with, and before Ye Qiongying came, they had been ranked last many times and could not get a good meal.
The day they met her, they performed exceptionally well and had the delicious braised pork.
As a result, the few bites of meat that Ye Qiongying shared with them were thrown to the ground by Li Yunwei and his men.
No wonder everyone lost control of their anger that day and started fighting with Li Yunwei and his gang.
It becomes more difficult to run fast after wearing a sandbag.
So for a while, their grades dropped instead of rising.
But even though they disliked the trouble, they were already among the last few, and if they were slower, they would still be at the back. It felt no different from before, so no one felt disappointed and they persisted.
By the later stages, it was obvious that their physical strength and endurance were better than before.
Together with the sandbags tied to his body, his presence was not that obvious.
At least, that sense of heaviness is gradually easing.
Their speed also began to pick up.
The benefits brought about by this are also very obvious in weapons training.
Their power is more stable than others.
Better control over weapons.
And today is the peak period when their strength has been proven.
After enjoying the sweetness of success, things that seemed troublesome before suddenly become attractive.
Therefore, when Yao Dachuan suggested that the sandbags could be removed, in addition to their first reaction of joy, they actually thought about wearing them for a while longer in order to improve their strength.
Yao Dachuan looked at the group of young people with great satisfaction, laughed, and said:
“The improvement brought by weight alone is limited. This has already had an effect on you, so I said you can take it off.
Of course, if you are willing to wear it for a while longer, that’s fine. Although the improvement won’t be that much, it’s still a form of training. When you take it off later, you will be able to feel the difference between you and other people.
Whether you take it or wear it, it’s up to you. I won’t interfere anymore.”
The others were a little hesitant.
Yao Manfu went over and asked Ye Qiongying:
"Sister Qiongying, do you plan to take it off or continue wearing it?"
Ye Qiongying gave the answer without any hesitation:
"Of course I will continue to wear it. As a woman, I am not naturally stronger than you guys, so of course I have to make more efforts to make up for it. I feel that I haven't reached my limit yet, so I can continue to carry the weight. When I go back, I might ask Uncle Ye to replace the sandbags with heavier ones for me. The four I have now don't leave much room for improvement for me."
"Four?" Yao Manfu made up his mind immediately after hearing that. "Then I'll wear it too! Sister Qiongying, you can wear four, can't I bear two? I'll wear it too! Oh, by the way, if you change to something else later, can you give me two of the four vacant ones? I also want to add weight. Alas, I've been weak since I was a child, and now I'm not tall enough. I have to work hard to rely on acquired efforts."
"Me too!" His younger brother Yao Fengshou also followed.
When the others heard this, they were not willing to be left behind and said they would also persevere.
