What Kind of Brother is Brother Long? (Seeking Collection)

In the early morning, the air still carried a hint of moisture. The first rays of sunlight had just begun to grace the earth when the reveille bugle sounded in the barracks.

The sound was incredibly penetrating. Lü Qinglong, hearing the reveille, instinctively opened his eyes.

Staring at the completely unfamiliar ceiling, he realized he had arrived at the military base.

He sat up from the bed and quickly tidied his bedding.

At this moment, he noticed that some of the other recruits seemed to have woken up, but they were all lingering in bed, unwilling to get up.

Before joining the army, they wouldn't have woken up this early at home.

"Bang bang!"

Lü Qinglong reached out and knocked twice on the bed frame.

The sound was loud, immediately waking up the recruits in the squad.

"What are you doing? Why so noisy so early in the morning?"

Ji Baichang, who slept in the bunk above Lü Qinglong, poked his head down and asked with a look of annoyance.

It was clear he had a bad case of morning grumpiness and was very displeased about being woken up.

However, when he saw Lü Qinglong's face, he instantly snapped out of his sleepy haze, his pupils contracting sharply.

He too had woken up and taken stock of his surroundings. It seemed he was now in the military.

So, he gave a somewhat embarrassed smile to Lü Qinglong and said:

"Sorry about that, I have a bit of morning grumpiness."

"How about this, when we get our phones back or whatever, I'll treat you to a drink."

Lü Qinglong hadn't been comfortable with Ji Baichang's tone at first, but seeing as he had morning grumpiness, Lü Qinglong didn't say much.

After all, it was his first day in the army, and he had just arrived at the base, so it was quite normal for him not to have adjusted yet.

"Put on your camouflage uniforms and gather outside."

Squad Leader Chen Ting shouted to the remaining recruits in the squad who were still reluctant to get out of bed. He then unhurriedly put on his camouflage uniform from his bunk, and finally put on a pair of camouflage rubber shoes before leaving the squad area first.

"Get dressed! What are you dawdling for? Didn't you hear what the Squad Leader just said?"

Lü Qinglong had finished putting on his camouflage uniform and shoes. Just as he was about to check if the other recruits in the squad had finished, he turned around and saw someone still lying in bed, intending to sleep through it.

The military emphasized collective honor and shame.

In other words, no matter how outstanding you were individually, it was useless if others dragged you down.

This situation was even more severe in the recruit company, where often the entire squad would suffer collective punishment because of one person's mistake.

Lü Qinglong hadn't believed that there would be such foolish people in the military before. Couldn't everyone just get ready?

But just like this year, after Squad Leader Chen Ting had spoken, someone still intended to go back to sleep.

Lü Qinglong was furious. He grabbed the recruit's quilt with his right hand and yanked it hard. The recruit was pulled off the bed along with the quilt.

The recruit was still dazed, and then he saw a pair of angry eyes, as if they could devour people, staring at him.

"What? The Squad Leader just told us to get dressed and gather, are you deaf? Why are you still sleeping?"

Lü Qinglong grabbed the collar of the recruit's shirt and stared at him coldly, asking.

"Brother... I... I was looking for my underwear... I wasn't trying to go back to sleep..."

The recruit immediately panicked, his voice trembling as he explained.

"Hmph."

"Don't let there be a next time."

Lü Qinglong threw the recruit back onto the bed and turned his gaze to the others.

"What kind of monster is this..."

Seeing Lü Qinglong looking at them, the other recruits immediately jumped out of bed and put on their clothes, no longer showing their previous laziness.

"Okay, let's go out and gather."

Lü Qinglong said softly, then took his position at the end of the recruit formation.

The recruits immediately lined up according to their height and walked out the door.

Outside the barracks, two other squads of recruits were already standing on the open ground in front.

Because Song Si was short, he stood at the front of the formation, leading the squad to the far left.

After a while, recruits from other squads also arrived on the open ground one after another.

"Huh? What's going on with your squad? Why did I just hear shouting from your squad? Did your Squad Leader scold you too?"

"I knew these old soldiers, they were chatting and laughing with us yesterday while washing our feet, and today they're already yelling at us!"

"In a couple more days, won't they be beating us too?"

One of Song Si's cousins, who happened to be assigned to the adjacent squad, stood beside him now and said in a low voice.

"What Squad Leader scolding people? Our Squad Leader didn't scold us."

"It's Brother Long from our squad. He couldn't stand seeing someone sleeping in and not getting up, so he yelled at them."

Song Si shot his cousin a look and said.

"What Brother Long? Are we starting a gang now?"

A new recruit from the next squad muttered, then fell silent.

Because a Sergeant had appeared at the front of their formation, his gaze already fixed on him.

"I am your duty soldier for the next three months."

"To all new comrades, it's your first day in the army. Gathering time is a bit slow, and your awareness of the whistle is weak. After this, the squad leaders of each squad will teach you properly."

"Then, this morning, each squad will learn how to fold blankets. In the afternoon, it will be drill training and a physical fitness assessment. That's all for today."

"Before breakfast, one person from each squad needs to come down and take back the mess trays for your new recruits."

"Alright, dismissed."

The duty soldier spoke for about five minutes at the front, but most of the new recruits were completely lost, not even understanding what the duty soldier was saying.

They only heard the last word: dismissed.

The previously loose formation scattered, and the new recruits lazily returned to their respective squads.

It was strange, when Lü Qinglong was still, almost no one noticed him; they subconsciously treated him as decoration.

But the moment he moved, his massive physique, his every gesture exuding a sense of power, made it impossible for others not to notice him.

"Holy crap? Is that a new recruit? Where did this new recruit come from? Which squad is he in?"

An old soldier beside him asked in surprise, looking at Lü Qinglong's monstrous physique.

"Sixth Squad Leader, this new recruit is from First Squad. He must have connections. I saw the Company Commander personally instruct me to send him to First Squad last night."

The old soldier who answered him was the Corporal who was on duty the previous night.

"First Squad? That's Squad Leader Chen Ting's squad from the Special Operations Brigade? Then he'll definitely be managed well."

"I was wondering, if someone like this doesn't obey orders, all the old soldiers in the whole company wouldn't be able to beat him. Fortunately, he's under Squad Leader Chen Ting."

The Sixth Squad Leader breathed a sigh of relief, still sighing as he watched Lü Qinglong's retreating back.

He was also the instructor for the upcoming hand-to-hand combat subject in the recruit company. He really didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Lü Qinglong refused to comply and challenged him; he could only hope that Chen Ting could discipline him well.
