Whis Today!

If the squad leader deceives you, what should you do?

Follow local customs.

The Seventh Company finished assembling.

"You all want to take a shower, right?"

The Fourth Squad Leader, with surprising seriousness today, held a megaphone and wore a camouflage sun hat. He looked exactly like Old A.

In this cold weather, he was playing dress-up.

Some of the new recruits who had watched "Soldiers Sortie" felt that something bad was about to happen.

But they couldn't stop the excited shouts from the straightforward ones.

"Yes!"

The Fourth Squad Leader smiled with satisfaction and picked up the megaphone again.

With a loud "Woo," the sound of the megaphone turning on was piercing.

"Hello, hello?" The Fourth Squad Leader tapped it and picked it up again.

"Um... about the showers, the bathhouse was supposed to charge. You don't have any money on you, so you can't just wash for free!

How about we put on a performance for the uncles and aunties at the bathhouse?"

This time, the new recruits were stunned and didn't know how to respond.

Fang Huai started shaking his leg.

Damn it, the bathhouse is over 400 meters away.

These old farts, they've watched too much TV and are finding pleasure at our expense.

The Fourth Squad Leader's perverted smile grew even wider.

"No one is talking, so that means you all agree! Come on, get ready for the duck walk! Hands behind your backs... oh, sorry, hold your basins, basins on your heads!"

The squad leaders around, the First Squad Leader and the Third Squad Leader, were already holding their leather belts, snapping them loudly, and shouting.

"I told you to squat! Hurry up!"

The new recruits squatted one by one, but their faces were full of grievance.

"What the heck... weren't we going to shower? Why do we have to perform?"

"I shouldn't have joined the army! We get messed with just to take a shower!"

"Report! I won't shower, is that okay?"

Around them, new recruits were expressing their dissatisfaction, either angrily or quietly, trying to increase their survival difficulty.

Fang Huai could only stare at his own squad, trying his best not to make a sound.

But the Fourth Squad Leader didn't give them time to think; he just wanted more people to regret it.

"Who doesn't want to wash? Step out!"

Over a dozen people stood up.

The Fourth Squad Leader smiled and said gently, like coaxing a child, "I like people like you who know what's good for them. You're saving water resources for the army. Come, come, stand aside."

As soon as he said that, a few more simpletons quickly stood up and followed them to the side of the formation.

If we don't wash, we don't wash. As long as we're not messed with!

When the people were lined up in two rows, the Fourth Squad Leader picked up the megaphone.

"Those who stepped out, all of you, prepare for push-ups!!"

Devil.

The two squad leaders next to him started shouting again.

"Get down!! Can't you hear me? What does your squad leader usually teach you? Do you want to die?

They all got down, some starting to pant.

It wasn't that they couldn't do push-ups, they just wanted to cry.

The First Squad Leader started to laugh, then said softly.

"It's okay, you don't have to do them! Just hold this position until they finish showering and come back!

Hold it to the standard! Anyone who doesn't do it to the standard will do 20 push-ups! One fall, one extra set!"

Some people in the remaining formation were already gloating.

"You went out, you're laughing, happy now? Idiot!"

The speaker thought the squad leader definitely hadn't heard him, but as soon as the words left his mouth, the Third Squad Leader, who had been observing everyone from behind, rushed into the crowd and kicked him.

The person fell to the ground, scattering their washing supplies.

"Who the hell are you calling an idiot? Isn't that your comrade? If I call you an idiot, would you like it? Get out! Go over there! Get down!"

Silence fell.

Everyone watched quietly as that person got up, slowly walked out, joined the "idiot" queue, and slowly lay down.

"Others! What are you standing around for? There's no time! Do you know how to do the duck walk?"

The squad leader said, squatting on the ground, he quickly swung his legs and charged forward a few steps.

"Sweep the leg, charge fast! You get it? It's only a hundred meters! You'll be there soon!"

Fang Huai cursed inwardly.

A hundred meters, my ass. I've been at the base for two years. If it's less than 350 meters, I'll gnaw on the cement floor.

"Whoever arrives first gets to wash first, and then you can rest!"

"Ready!"

"Go!"

It was like herding ducks.

The team was much like a flock of ducks, squawking and taking small, hurried steps forward.

In less than fifty meters, some people started to slow down.

"Steady pace, steady pace, don't sprint, swing your legs."

Fang Huai followed behind Han Yong and Peng Yingqirui, urging on the stragglers from the Ninth Squad.

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!" The squad leader caught up and roared.

Fang Huai was actually exhausted, so he turned his head, took a breath, and turned back.

"Reporting, Squad Leader! I'm the deputy squad leader! I have to make sure these two don't fall behind!"

Seeing that it was Fang Huai, the squad leader's anger subsided a bit.

Fang Huai had been praised by the Regimental Commander that morning, and all the company's squad leaders knew it. The squad leader had been there at the time and was very impressed by Fang Huai's words.

These were the top performers of the Ninth Squad.

His tone softened a bit, and he even reminded him.

"Mhm... Tell them to hurry up! Don't drag their feet! If you can't carry them, don't! Just charge ahead yourself! I'll be watching! If you're late, you won't have enough time to wash!"

"Yes, Squad Leader!"

Fang Huai managed to say those two sentences without gasping, which was already difficult.

Charge ahead, my ass! I can barely make it myself! Only by staying behind these two can I feel a bit easier!

The next improvement must be to lift my legs higher!

Even if there was an option to increase lifespan, I'd have to work on my legs first!

"Fang Huai... I, I can't do it anymore, don't worry about me, you go ahead."

Han Yong was acting like he was in a movie.

Little Dot also had a flushed face and started to bluster.

"Oh... oh... If I die, please notify my parents that I was killed by this old man, please... please... help me..."

"What the hell are you talking about! Save your strength! Hurry up!"

Fang Huai glanced back. It was at most a hundred meters away.

Those doing push-ups on their stomachs were shouting for permission over there.

Fortunately, the squad leader wasn't paying attention to those behind him. A few people in the front had secretly stood up and charged forward a few steps, and the two squad leaders had gone to deal with them.

Fang Huai gritted his teeth, holding the basin in one hand and the waistband of Little Dot's pants in the other, urging him forward.

"Quick, quick, I'll help you bear some of the weight! Take a few steps forward!"

When Han Yong caught up, he pulled Han Yong forward for another stretch.

It wasn't easy to drag this guy's big butt, Fang Huai gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Damn it, Han Yong, you're too heavy! Lose some weight!"

"I'm trying! I'm trying!"

"Trying your ass! Starting next week, you'll go running with us every day! Got it?"

"Big brother! I really can't!"

"Run slowly! I won't force you, just run for half an hour every day, okay?"

"...Okay!"

You have to seize the right moment to persuade someone. With a few words, Fang Huai had dealt with the most difficult one.

In less than a minute, 100 meters ahead, Aced.

Total annihilation.

Except for a few who were physically superior, they rested for a while and revived. A group of people who couldn't move even if they were beaten to death were left behind.

Fang Huai, however, was slowly approaching, herding two ducks.

The entire way, it was like a routed army fleeing, leaving behind more than a dozen echelons.

Jiang Peng, dozens of meters ahead, suddenly stopped and looked back. He saw Fang Huai and smiled at him.

It was a crooked smile, one side of his mouth pulled up.

Seven parts contempt, three parts provocation.

Fang Huai seized the moment and pulled up two others beside him.

"Quick, look! He's laughing at you! Damn it, Jiang Peng is mocking us! Can we stand for this?"

"Fuck his dad!"

Peng Yingqirui, seeing his former comrade betraying them and mocking them, actually erupted with a brief burst of spirit, shouted a foreign phrase, and stubbornly charged forward another section.

Han Yong was also stunned: "That person is..."

"The one who swapped shifts with you. His physical fitness is excellent! Maybe you're falling too far behind, and Squad Leader Hao regretted it, so he's swapping you back."

It was on.

Han Yong charged much faster than Peng Yingqirui, zipping forward several steps, while Fang Huai actually fell a bit behind.

"What the hell..."

Twenty minutes later, Fang Huai finally shuffled to the entrance of the bathing area with the last few echelons.

A group of people also hurried over, those who had been ordered to do push-ups earlier. It was clear that the squad leaders didn't actually intend to stop them from bathing.

Han Yong and Peng Yingqirui were just helping each other up when Han Yong suddenly knelt down, bringing Peng Yingqirui down with him, gasping for breath.

Fang Huai was doing okay.

He just felt like he'd been bitten by a five-pace viper.

And he still had to climb stairs.

Fang Huai could only endure it, helping up the two panting huskies on the ground.

"Quick... quick, let's go, shower."

"Shower my ass, I'm not showering, I'm resting." Peng Yingqirui just lay on the ground, giving up.

"Not showering? If you don't shower, I'll have you ready for push-ups when everyone else comes out."

"Damn it..."

The two huskies immediately got up and started walking upright.

About twenty people entered as one unit. Fang Huai and his group waited until the last batch of people before being allowed in.

Before entering, the third squad leader stood at the door and slowly shouted, "Shower time... only 10 minutes!"

Fang Huai cursed inwardly.

Ten minutes? If I believe that, I'm a son of a bitch.

As soon as they entered the bathroom, the previous group hadn't come out yet. The sounds coming from inside were like an Asian region filming set, with loud moans.

"Oh... so refreshing."

"Comfortable!"

"Turn down the hot water over there! The water here is getting cold!"

It was actually not advisable to shower right after sweating profusely, as it could lead to a cold.

But these minor inconveniences in the army were nothing, and it even felt quite good.

When Fang Huai's group went in, the third squad leader stood at the door, slapped the door with his belt, and roared.

"Third batch, get out quickly!"

They were dawdling inside. The third squad leader didn't urge them further, just looked down at his watch.

Clothes were left at the door. There were no lockers, just a fairly large grid shelf. Everyone found a cubby to put their clothes and shoes in, and went in barefoot, holding their washbasins.

No one dared to say it wasn't safe. The recruit regiment had collected all the money, not allowing them to bring any money or any personal items other than those issued by the army. The main idea was to be penniless.

If anyone said their money or belongings were lost after coming out, not only would they not find anything, but they would also get a beating and have their backpacks re-inspected.

Stripped naked, they walked inside. The smaller you were, the more embarrassed you'd be.

Fang Huai wasn't particularly embarrassed, but he walked like a zombie, his thighs felt borrowed.

The scene inside was amazing.

Many people had come in. There were a total of twelve shower stalls. The new recruits who knew each other would surround a shower stall in groups of two or three. Those who hadn't rinsed were standing nearby, lathering themselves, and some were even bending over casually to pick up things.

The "picking up soap" meme hadn't become popular yet, so everyone was less worried about their rear ends.

Fang Huai washed very quickly. He took over a shower stall occupied by a new recruit from another squad who knew him. He basically just lathered up with soap and rinsed, not even having time to scrub. After rinsing, he quickly walked out.

The feeling of the hot water washing over him was indeed relaxing and captivating, but the anti-addiction system set up by the squad leaders was also strictly in place.

He would never forget this particular shower.
