221: Begin wilderness survival training.
After returning to the Camp Area, the other Instructors responsible for their training stepped forward and relayed Lu Jing's orders.
"You can rest this afternoon. Training resumes tomorrow."
"Oh."
Many people cheered.
They were indeed tired and hungry right now.
Many people ran towards the Dining Hall.
Xiao Niannian, however, ran towards the Dormitory. Since there was still some time before dinner, she planned to take a shower.
Otherwise, if she went to the Dining Hall covered like this, the food she ate might end up containing dust.
Xiao Niannian quickly took a shower, changed clothes, and after washing and drying her clothes, she went to the Dining Hall.
Upon arriving at the Dining Hall, Xiao Niannian saw the Instructors and Soldiers all eating in the corner.
After getting her food, she deliberately found a spot further away from them to eat.
"Did those people train in the mud? Why are they all covered in dust, with ash on their faces and hair?"
"I heard the Sugar Factory exploded this morning. They must have gone there for rescue."
"The Division Headquarters dispatched many people for the rescue today."
"I heard there were also armed Criminals holding hostages at the Sugar Factory..."
Xiao Niannian continued eating her meal while listening to the discussions.
After returning to the Dormitory, Xiao Niannian immediately lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
It felt great to have a room all to herself.
Xu Yang also went to the Sugar Factory for rescue today along with his Comrades-in-arms who were training.
However, they were responsible for crowd evacuation and helping transport goods. Seeing the rescued workers, he felt very excited. But he thought he saw Xiao Niannian at the scene.
At that time, a Female Soldier who looked somewhat like Xiao Niannian rushed out carrying someone on her back, handing the person over to the Military Doctors and doctors present for treatment.
It couldn't have been Xiao Niannian. Xiao Niannian should be in the Reconnaissance Battalion now; how could she run over to the Sugar Factory?
Several of the training subjects in their battalion this time, he ranked first. He was determined to win at least three championships this time, and then he could participate in the Military Headquarters competition. He had been training extremely hard these days, and he believed he could use this opportunity to enter the Special Forces Brigade and strive for a better future.
When Xu Yang thought of Xiao Yueyue, disgust flashed across his face. A few days ago, Xiao Yueyue came to the camp several times wanting to see him, but he refused to meet her. He even called Xiao Yueyue and threatened that if she dared to harass him again, he would make sure everyone in her family lost their jobs.
He had people constantly watching Xiao Yueyue, ensuring she wouldn't do anything else that could affect him or the Xu Family.
"Xu Yang."
Hearing someone call him, Xu Yang looked over.
"Deputy Regimental Commander Wu."
This Deputy Regimental Commander Wu was the deputy regimental commander of Xu Yang's Regiment.
Deputy Regimental Commander Wu was a bit chubby and his hair was thinning. He looked at Xu Yang with a smile and said,
"I heard you've been performing very well in training these past few days."
"Thank you, Deputy Regimental Commander Wu."
After Deputy Regimental Commander Wu exchanged a few words with Xu Yang, he inquired about Xu Yang's personal situation.
"I heard you had some conflict with your Newlywed Wife, and there were some unfavorable rumors in the Regiment..."
"Deputy Regimental Commander Wu, that matter was a misunderstanding..."
Xu Yang explained to Deputy Regimental Commander Wu.
"You came from the Capital City and you are so capable. Don't let these things affect your future..."
Deputy Regimental Commander Wu spoke earnestly and sincerely.
"You are right."
Deputy Regimental Commander Wu then started inquiring about Xiao Niannian.
"I heard your former Fiancée was Xiao Niannian. What is her background?"
Xu Yang was filled with doubt upon hearing this.
Why did Deputy Regimental Commander Wu suddenly think of asking about Xiao Niannian's situation?
"Xiao Niannian is from Xiang Province..."
Xu Yang avoided answering Deputy Regimental Commander Wu's question about his Fiancée and diverted the topic with a few words.
After Deputy Regimental Commander Wu left, Xu Yang felt a bit strange. Deputy Regimental Commander Wu had interacted with him before, but suddenly inquiring about Xiao Niannian—could it be that there really was something unusual about Xiao Niannian's background?
He returned to his Office and called his father.
"Father."
"What is it?"
"Did you previously send people to investigate Xiao Niannian?"
Hearing his son mention Xiao Niannian, Xu Yangs Father said.
"Why are you asking about her? Your current Wife is Xiao Yueyue."
Hearing his father's words, Xu Yang's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
"What are you saying? It's just that your son finds Xiao Niannian a bit strange. How could someone who grew up in the countryside know so many things? And during the incident at the Cinema last time, her capabilities were definitely not those of an ordinary recruit..."
Xu Yangs Father's tone changed upon hearing Xu Yang's words.
"Why didn't you tell me about this sooner..." Xu Yangs Father continued, "I will find someone to investigate this matter... If she truly has problems, we definitely cannot let her go..."
Meanwhile, after Deputy Regimental Commander Wu finished talking with Xu Yang, he returned to his Office and quietly made a phone call.
"The matter has been handled..."
When Xiao Niannian woke up, it was already morning.
She went to the Training Ground.
"Comrade Xiao."
Her Comrades-in-arms saw Xiao Niannian and came forward to express their concern.
"Comrade Xiao, you were so brave yesterday, saving several people."
"Comrade Xiao, you weren't injured yesterday, were you?"
"Comrade Xiao, I heard everyone you saved yesterday survived safely."
"Comrade Xiao, you truly are a role model for us..."
Listening to the praise from her Comrades-in-arms, Xiao Niannian said with a smile.
"I wasn't injured. Thank you for your concern, Comrades-in-arms..."
The Comrades-in-arms who had previously felt somewhat unconvinced by Xiao Niannian were now filled with immense admiration for her.
They still didn't know about Xiao Niannian going into the Cave yesterday. Otherwise, they would definitely admire her even more.
The Whistle Sound blew, and everyone immediately stood at attention.
"You all performed exceptionally well yesterday..." Company Commander He looked at everyone with a smile and praised them.
The Soldiers were delighted to hear Company Commander He, the Instructor who was usually serious and often criticized them, giving them praise.
"However, don't get arrogant because of this. A Soldier's duty is to defend the country and protect the masses..."
Company Commander He's expression returned to seriousness.
"Today's training content: five-kilometer Armed Cross-Country..."
Listening to Company Commander He, Xiao Niannian felt that today's training content wouldn't just be the five-kilometer Armed Cross-Country, but she didn't say anything.
The five-kilometer Armed Cross-Country training today was different from yesterday. Yesterday there were flags, but today, Xiao Niannian ran the whole way without finding any flags or other Markers.
Along the way, many Soldiers also suspected that the Instructors had hidden the flags and other Tokens in remote places, but they reached the finish line without finding any items.
"Assemble."
The Instructors who arrived by vehicle jumped down from the Military Truck. Lu Jing looked at everyone and spoke.
"Today, you will begin new training content: Wilderness Survival..."
