Chapter 811: The New Recruits’ Training Begins

On the day the training camp opened.

In the deep mountains outside the suburbs of Shangjing City, a grand and massive military base was already crowded with new recruits arriving for the training camp.

“Name.”

“Li Zhenzhen.”

“Age.”

“16.”

“Where’s your identification?”

Li Zhenzhen handed her identification to the instructor, who checked it against the registration information and nodded slightly, “You can go in. Your dormitory is in Area C, Room 106. Just go straight ahead and turn right.”

Li Zhenzhen dragged her suitcase into the training camp, carefully surveying this military base that existed in the deep mountains, completely isolated from the outside world.

She had lived in Shangjing for so many years and had long heard about a Night Watchman training camp in the suburbs, but its location and scale were confidential. This was her first time here; half of the buildings looked new, while the other half appeared old, suggesting that it had recently been expanded to accommodate new recruits.

After Li Zhenzhen entered the training camp, a boy followed closely behind and approached the entrance.

“Name.”

“Lu Baoyou.”

“Age… Lu Baoyou? You are Lu Baoyou?”

The instructor frowned slightly at the boy before him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Your training qualification has been revoked.” The instructor expressionlessly pulled out a pen from his pocket and circled Lu Baoyou’s name on the form.

“Revoked? On what grounds?!” Lu Baoyou was taken aback and then spoke angrily.

“At 4:50 PM yesterday, a train exploded in the suburbs of Shangjing City, causing half of the carriages to be left in the wild. That incident was caused by you, wasn’t it?”

“Yes, it was me. So what?” Lu Baoyou replied coldly, “No one was hurt on the train; I just taught them a lesson…”

“You should be grateful that no one was injured; otherwise, you wouldn’t be standing here now but would have been directly detained in a penitentiary.” The instructor said calmly, “Your actions constitute intentional destruction of public property, endangering social stability, and have caused extremely adverse effects. After we investigated the matter last night, we decided to temporarily revoke your qualification to become a Night Watchman…

After a two-year probation period, if we believe you no longer pose a negative influence, we will grant you another opportunity to participate in the training.”

Lu Baoyou’s eyes widened, and after a long pause, he decisively shook his head and shouted angrily, “No! I finally managed to escape from home, working along the way to save up for the fare, and I finally made it to Shangjing… Why should I go back like this?

I want to go in; I want to be a Night Watchman!”

Seeing this, the instructor’s frown deepened, “Lu Baoyou, do you not understand what I’m saying? Go home now, and you will have another chance to participate in the training in two years. If you continue to cause trouble, you will never have the qualification to become a Night Watchman in your life!”

Lu Baoyou fell silent. He looked around and saw that several other instructors were also paying attention to the situation, their gazes slightly focused.

After a moment, he relaxed his grip on the suitcase, took a deep breath, and turned to walk back in the direction he came from…

“Go home?” he murmured to himself, “I will not go back.”

…

Yuan Gang stood by the window of the training camp office, looking down at the new recruits continuously streaming in, and sighed deeply.

“If it weren’t for the two extra buildings added during the expansion, these new recruits wouldn’t have anywhere to stay…”

“Chief Instructor, the new recruits have mostly arrived. Here’s the attendance list.” Instructor Hong handed a document to Yuan Gang. “Except for Lu Baoyou, who was stripped of his training qualification for misbehavior, the other six hundred and eleven are all here.”

Yuan Gang scanned the list and nodded slightly, “Although we have expanded the recruitment this time and brought in over six hundred people, the number of those with the ability to enter the Forbidden Ruins hasn’t increased. Nearly one-third of these new recruits are ordinary people without the ability, but they each have their strengths in other areas.

Active-duty officers, athletes, mercenaries, Go champions, chemistry geniuses, extreme sports enthusiasts… This should be the most diverse group of new recruits we’ve ever had. I wonder if Lin Qiye and the others have the ability to train them well?”

At this point, Yuan Gang seemed to remember something, “By the way, where are Lin Qiye and the others? Have they figured out how to conduct the initial assessment today?”

“Well…” Instructor Hong hesitated, “They have thought of something, but… their approach is a bit unconventional.”

“Unconventional? Tell me about it.”

Instructor Hong leaned closer to Yuan Gang’s ear and whispered something, causing Yuan Gang’s expression to become subtle.

“Chief Instructor, won’t this be too… risky?” Instructor Hong couldn’t help but say, “We’ve been instructors for so many years and have never seen a situation like this.”

“No, their proposal is quite good.” Yuan Gang’s lips curled slightly, “Gather the new recruits on the playground immediately and proceed with this plan! Pass the order down; all instructors must cooperate with them.”

“…Understood!”

…

Ten minutes later.

On the training camp’s playground.

Over six hundred recruits in military uniforms stood in the open space, jostling together, chatting and playing, creating a noisy atmosphere throughout the playground.

Li Zhenzhen stood at the front of the crowd with her hands in her pockets, frowning as she looked at the noisy group around her, appearing somewhat displeased.

“It’s so noisy.” Li Zhenzhen muttered.

At that moment, a hand reached out from behind her and patted her shoulder.

Li Zhenzhen turned around to see a familiar boy standing behind her, smiling at her.

“Fang Mo?” Li Zhenzhen recognized him at a glance, her eyes flashing with surprise, “What are you doing here?”

“I’m here because I’m also a new recruit.” Fang Mo pointed to the military uniform he was wearing and the name tag on his chest, which neatly read “Fang Mo.” He smiled slightly and said, “I told you, we would see each other again soon.”

Li Zhenzhen opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but remembering how he had left her alone to face the “mystery” just a couple of days ago, she turned away in annoyance.

“Oh, what does that have to do with me?”

Fang Mo was taken aback.

At that moment, Yuan Gang slowly walked up to the central platform of the playground, scanning the crowd below, and said slowly:

“I am the Chief Instructor responsible for your training this time, Yuan Gang…”

…

Above the clouds, a plane sped across the sky.

Bai Li stood by the window, yawning.

“What do you think? What step are they at down there now?”

“Probably Instructor Yuan is up on the stage speaking, saying things like ‘You are all new recruits,’ ‘a bunch of rookies,’ ‘no matter what your status is outside, here you are just the worst of the worst,’ and other inciting remarks.”

Cao Yuan replied gloomily, “Don’t you know? These scripts use the same template every year for the new recruit training.”
