As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jiang's face became solemn and he immediately took his feet out of the basin. He ignored the hot water splashing out of the basin and pulled the towel on the side to quickly wipe away the water droplets on his feet.
What happened?
Xu Jiang frowned. The emergency gathering on the weekend was not a drill.
Chen Lu responded quickly. As soon as Xu Jiang finished speaking, he stood up immediately.
Judging from Xu Jiang's expression, it was obvious that the other party did not know about this emergency gathering.
Chen Lu put on his slippers and was about to get his backpack and pack the quilt, because his feet were wet at this time and it was not suitable to wear socks or shoes.
As for the small yellow basin, just dump the water out when you go out for a while.
After experiencing two emergency gatherings, Chen Lu was no longer in a hurry as he was the first time, and his brain quickly analyzed what to do in each next step.
The others were not slow in their actions. They immediately lifted their feet out of the basin, bringing out pieces of water. Soon, the floor of the dormitory became wet.
Just when everyone was rushing to get their backpacks and prepare to pack them, another platoon leader's roar came from downstairs: "Hurry up, no need to pack quilts, urgent gathering."
What's going on?
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they all immediately looked at Xu Jiang.
Xu Jiang quickly took off the belt hanging on the wall and cursed: "What are you doing standing still? You don't need to pack the quilt, you don't even know how to assemble in an emergency? Hurry."
Chen Lu was startled for a moment, then immediately sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed his feet against each other a few times on the trousers on both sides, picked up the socks and put them on his feet.
Something seems wrong?
He has never seen Xu Jiang with such a serious expression.
But he knows that now is not the time to ask questions, so he can just follow orders.
At this moment, Tieniu was holding his shoes, with a nervous look on his face, and said tremblingly: "Squad leader, the platoon leader's tone is very abnormal, isn't it a fight?"
"There is no need to pack up the quilt. Could it be that the enemy has already attacked?"
Zhang Laifu also looked at Xu Jiang nervously.
The platoon leader's roar downstairs just now was hurried and mixed with a hint of anger. They were frightened, and Xu Jiang's expression at this moment reminded them that something big had happened.
Thinking about the meeting ahead, the company commander said that during the battle, they should rush to the front line as soon as possible. Suddenly, both of them panicked.
On the side, Wang Bing put on his shoes and cursed: "What is there to be afraid of in war? We all have two shoulders holding one head. After death, we will be a good man again in eighteen years."
At this time, Xu Jiang, who was already dressed, glanced at them and cursed angrily: "Is it your turn to fight? A bunch of people who can't even pack quilts, hurry up, I'm going down first." p>
After saying that, Xu Jiang turned around and rushed out of the dormitory.
In fact, Xu Jiang is also a little confused at this moment.
He really didn't know what was going on with this emergency gathering, but it was definitely not a trivial matter, because he remembered that the last weekend emergency gathering was a year ago, and it was a local mass incident.
"Brother Lu, isn't that a real war? I don't think the monitor's expression is right."
After Xu Jiang left, Tieniu's eyes fell on Chen Lu.
"Brother Lu, if we really go to the battlefield, will we die?"
Chen Lu: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and gather."
"If you are so timid, why would you want to be a soldier? You might as well go home and raise pigs."
Wang Bing glared at Tieniu and cursed angrily.
"When I was a soldier, I never said I wanted to fight!"
"My hometown also said when we were recruiting soldiers that this is a time of peace and there is no need to fight, so I just came here. By the way, you also know that my family raises pigs. When I retire, I will go back to raise pigs."
Wang Bing: "..."
Not long after, the lights in the corridor came on. Unlike the last emergency gathering, the chaotic footsteps were mixed with various comments.
"Oh my God! We can't be so unlucky. We haven't had a war in decades, and we ran into it as soon as we became soldiers."
"However, we have never even touched a gun, so we are asked to be responsible for logistics."
"I heard that those in charge of logistics are more dangerous, because as long as they destroy the opponent's food and grass, they can win without fighting."
Like Tieniu, some people are afraid of fighting, but others are excited.
"Damn it! You can perform meritorious service in war. What kind of military merit will there be in peacetime?"
"I can finally touch a gun. I want to shoot those people who are living a good life."
……
In the corridor, Chen Lu was stunned for a while as he listened, and he had to admire the new recruits' imaginative thinking.
Are you kidding me about fighting?
A group of new recruits who have never even touched a gun. Even if they are in the frontline cooking squad, they will not be able to get their turn in line.
In 3 minutes, the entire recruit company was assembled.
Yang Song stood on the steps, wearing a military uniform, with sharp eyes, a straight face, and no words. He exuded a sense of majesty.
Below, everyone's eyes are focused on the company commander, with nervousness and confusion in his eyes.
When Yang Song saw that no one was coming down the stairs, he shouted loudly: "Stand at attention and look to the right..."
The new recruits tensed up their nerves, and the small steps sounded, and the team was quickly organized.
The next moment, Yang Song glanced at everyone with sharp eyes and said straightforwardly: "There is only one thing to do in today's gathering. We have a soldier this time, Huang Tao from the second squad. He did not come back thirty minutes after lights out, and the squad leader couldn't find him.
."
"Preliminary estimates suggest that he has become a deserter. Your mission is to find him."
Yang Song didn't directly say that he was arrested because he hadn't yet determined whether he was a deserter.
This situation is different from Liao Xuebing's. A voluntary application was approved. If Huang Tao fled privately, he would even have to go to a military court.
Deserter?
How is that possible?
As soon as Yang Song finished speaking, there was a commotion below.
"I remember that the deserter last time seemed to be a recruit from the third squad. I forgot his name. Speaking of Huang Tao from the second squad, this guy is really bloody."
"What do you know? The one in class three is applying for demotion. Huang Tao is running away now, which means he will be a deserter and will be unable to hold his head up for the next three generations. This is completely different in nature."
"By the way, why did this guy become a deserter?"
Many people are muttering below.
During this period of training, they felt like animals. There must have been many people who had the idea of escape, but there were not many who actually took this step.
But Huang Tao did what many of them wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
"I was scared to death. I thought it was a real war. I was thinking about how to write a suicide note?"
In the team, Tieniu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by those around him.
Zhang Laifu's tense shoulders relaxed and he smiled and said: "Speaking of war, it sounds quite exciting."
"In hindsight, you two cowards, if we really fight, you might be scared to death."
Wang Bing glanced at Tieniu and the two and said disdainfully.
……
In the queue, Chen Lu was also stunned for a moment.
Another deserter?
He ruled out war and considered many possibilities, but he did not think about deserting, because it had been more than a month since the recruit training, and those who wanted to escape had already fled, and it would not have been delayed until now.
Is Huang Tao really a deserter?
Chen Lu frowned, a little suspicious.
"Stop!"
At this moment, Yang Song made a face and shouted sharply.
Everyone at the scene looked at the company commander whose face was as dark as if he had just rolled out of a coal mine. Their nerves were tense and they immediately fell silent.
Yang Song then ordered: "Now, with each class as a unit, the squad leaders will be divided into groups to start the search, and each class will be led away in an orderly manner."
……
At this moment, the system's cold voice sounded in Chen Lu's mind: Catch the deserter Huang Tao and reward him with 100 experience points.
Let me go, the system has determined that Huang Tao is a deserter?
Chen Lu couldn't help but think a lot of shit in his heart.
This guy has no brains. If you have any questions, why don’t you just apply and try? He’s still a deserter. Besides, can you escape?
Originally, Chen Lu had a conservative opinion on whether Huang Tao was a deserter, but now there is no need to think about it at all, the system cannot be wrong.
At this moment, Xu Jiang began to group into groups: "Chen Lu and Tieniu go to the east, Wang Bing and Zhang Laifu go to the south..."
Two people formed a group and cooperated with each other. Xu Jiang quickly completed the grouping and then ordered everyone to start taking action.
On the way to the east side of the recruit training.
Tieniu, who had been lowering his head, suddenly thought of something. He raised his head suddenly and said to Chen Lu beside him: "Brother Lu, I know that Huang Tao from class two."
"Huh?"
Chen Lu turned to look at Tieniu in confusion.
In addition to training, this cow was copying internal affairs regulations. Or on the way to copy the regulations, he actually knew Huang Tao from Class 2?
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Tieniu's face, and he said sarcastically: "He also failed the internal affairs regulations assessment. We got to know each other by copying regulations together. Maybe you didn't pay attention. He was caught smoking the day before yesterday, and he was also there."
Chen Lu said in surprise: "It turns out they are the people smoking in the toilet."
"I heard that after he returned, he was punished by the squad leader to write a three-thousand-word self-criticism. He couldn't write it, so he probably ran away because of this."
Tieniu then muttered in a low voice, "By the way, there are a few people who can write three thousand self-criticisms and become soldiers. If the squad leader also punishes me for writing three thousand self-criticisms, even if I am not a deserter, I will have to apply to withdraw from the army."
Chen Lu was a little dumbfounded.
These recruits were not tired from the training, nor were they frightened by the herbal tea prepared by the instructor. Instead, they were stumped by the three thousand-word review.
But it makes sense to think about it.
When these recruits were studying, most of them were students in the last row of the classroom. It is indeed a bit difficult to review the three thousand words.
Tieniu thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "But this guy talks arrogantly and looks similar to Wang Bing. He copied the regulations and asked me to help him."
"My family forced me to join the army. Maybe even if I apply, my family won't agree."
Chen Lu understood, this is a hard-working gangster.
"Where will Huang Tao run at this time?"
Chen Lu shook the flashlight in his hand and frowned.
