Train Arrives (Seeking Collection)

But he was still a very well-mannered person. After fiddling with it for a bit, he finally figured it out.

It's just that the smell in the toilet might be a bit strong right now.

Originally, there were new recruits at the toilet door wondering why someone was taking so long.

But the moment they saw Lü Qinglong come out, along with a strong smell of Oli Ge, they immediately felt a strong urge to vomit.

They rushed to the next carriage and started vomiting into the sink.

Lü Qinglong watched the new recruit's retreating back and scratched his head with a bit of simple honesty.

He didn't mean to. It must have been something he ate this morning. His toilet trips weren't usually this smelly.

However, in the carriage behind, he saw a familiar face.

"Huh? Isn't that Cheng Liang? Is he in my unit too?"

Cheng Liang looked like he was chatting and laughing with the new recruits next to him, so Lü Qinglong didn't go over to disturb him.

He stood by the carriage connection for a while, letting the wind dissipate the smell on him, before returning to his seat.

What surprised him, however, was that the three new recruits sitting opposite him seemed to have already become quite familiar with each other.

One of the new recruits had brought a tablet and placed it on the central table. An anime was playing on the tablet.

And coincidentally, Lü Qinglong had also watched this anime.

This made Lü Qinglong cough twice with excitement.

Although he was over two meters tall and weighed nearly three hundred kilograms, a bit stout.

His mental age was still eighteen!

Just as he was about to ask the three new recruits opposite him if he could watch with them, he saw them immediately close the tablet and put it away.

This action undoubtedly hurt Lü Qinglong's feelings.

He hadn't done anything, so why did they put the tablet away as soon as they saw him? Was this a form of bullying?

This reminded him of his childhood, when he was in kindergarten, and the security guard desperately blocked him from entering.

Wasn't this blatant bullying?

Thinking of this, Lü Qinglong got a little angry and turned to look out the window.

"Uh... why does this Eldest Brother look like he's angry???"

"But I clearly turned off the anime to avoid the sound from the tablet disturbing him?"

The three new recruits started discussing frantically on their newly added QQ.

In the end, they concluded that this Eldest Brother must have a bad temper and it would be best not to provoke him.

With this thought, the three of them even used QQ for the most basic communication, afraid that saying the wrong thing would anger him again.

After an unknown amount of time, the sunset glow also shone into the carriage.

This green-skinned train, like a majestic beast, sped along the tracks.

Lü Qinglong quietly gazed at the scenery flowing past the window. The golden rice fields swayed in the sunlight, and the distant mountains rose and fell, like a vast ink painting.

The three new recruits sitting opposite him, who had been excited when they first boarded, were now leaning against each other and had fallen asleep.

After about another two hours of driving, the voice of the cadre leading the troops, Chen Tianjian, could be heard from the end of the carriage:

"Wake up, everyone. Wake up the person next to you if they're still asleep. We're about to arrive at the station!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was resonant. With this one shout, most of the new recruits on the train were already awake.

They groggily looked out the window and saw that it had gotten dark at some point.

It was clear that they were filled with curiosity about where they were going.

"Commander, where are we going now?"

A new recruit beside him, who looked about twenty-three or twenty-four, asked Chen Tianjian while cheerfully offering him a cigarette.

However, Chen Tianjian didn't take the cigarette. He just glanced at him and continued, "You're quite resourceful, aren't you? I don't smoke."

"Our 82nd Group Army's base is in Hebei, and most of you will end up serving in Hebei."

After Chen Tianjian finished speaking, a hint of excitement appeared on the faces of the new recruits in the carriage.

It wasn't excitement about hearing "Hebei," but the excitement of arriving at a new place.

As the green-skinned train slowly came to a stop, the new recruits began to get up from their seats and pick up their black transport bags.

Lü Qinglong was the last to get off. He carried his black transport bag with one hand. Despite the bag being quite large, in his hand, it felt as if he were carrying a lady's small handbag.

The new recruits followed the leading cadre Chen Tianjian forward. As soon as they exited the station, they were stunned by the scene before them.

Just outside the station, in the open space ahead, more than ten flat-nosed trucks for transporting soldiers were parked in neat rows.

At the same time, beside each flat-nosed truck, stood a Veteran with military rank insignia on his shoulders.

Normally, new recruits would not be issued rank insignia upon enlistment.

Only after the three-month New Recruit Company is over will they be awarded the rank of Private.

"Take your luggage and get ready to board."

Chen Tianjian led this group of new recruits to the front few military vehicles. The new recruits began to awkwardly climb onto the flat-nosed diesel troop transport trucks.

At the same time, under the command of the Veterans, they placed their luggage beneath their butts.

Sitting like this not only saved space but also made it more comfortable to sit on.

After all, the steel plate floor in the rear compartment of a flat-nosed diesel troop transport truck had no suspension to speak of. Basically, with any slight bump, your butt would be in for a rough time.

Especially for the Veterans in the motor pool who drove these vehicles. Transporting cabbage or pigs in the rear compartment was one thing; they would brake when necessary.

After all, cabbage could rot, and pigs could get motion sickness.

But if it were their own comrades sitting in the back...

Then they were out of luck.

And my comrade, you! Possessing an unyielding will and a body of steel!!!

The accelerator pedal was welded to the floor, and all sorts of drifting and other advanced techniques were employed.

It was not uncommon for comrades to be thrown out of the back of the truck.

Lü Qinglong was assigned to the last of the three vehicles, which had the fewest people, so there were many empty seats.

He placed his black duffel bag under his butt and felt much more comfortable.

There were other new recruits on the truck who had noticed Lü Qinglong on the train.

After all, what normal person looked like that? It was impossible not to attract attention.

The few new recruits near Lü Qinglong consciously moved over, leaving a large empty space for him.

After everyone had boarded, Chen Tianjian spoke into the walkie-talkie, and the vehicles slowly drove off in the direction of the mountainous area.

Perhaps it was because the ones in the back were all newly enlisted recruits, so the Veterans in the motor pool drove with unusual gentleness.

They slowed down for turns and drove forward at a constant speed in formation.

Unconsciously, accompanied by the slight jolting sensation from the vehicles, most of the new recruits on board gradually fell asleep.
