Everyone was stunned.
"Yue... wow..."
Peng Yingqirui really threw up, though it wasn't clear if it was the belt that made him uncomfortable or the disgust that made him vomit.
Other recruits who hadn't wanted to throw up began to gag upon seeing the pool of vomit.
A light breeze blew across.
This was a playground with a certain... aroma.
...
When morning training was almost over, student on-duty Liu Yue, who was responsible for serving everyone's food and doing the dishes that day, went to the cafeteria ahead of time. Before departing, he secretly promised everyone he'd definitely find out what the basin was for.
When everyone arrived at the cafeteria, they saw that Liu Yue had a strange expression and understood.
At noon, everyone's food portion was reduced more or less.
And the instigator, Fang Huai, had spun all the leftover dishes, making it awkward even for Hao Chengbin to say anything.
...
Back in class, the Brigade Department issued the folding stools in advance, probably to make it more convenient for everyone to nap.
Hao Chengbin naturally announced the rules for the afternoon nap.
"Perfect, this stool, from now on during the siesta, you can sit on it to sleep. You can sleep anywhere, but not on the bed! After arranging the Internal Affairs in the morning, until the whistle blows for washing up in the evening, the bed is your Forbidden Area! To sit, you can only sit on the stool or the bench!"
"Squad leader, can I just lay down on the table and sleep? I'm feeling sick," Peng Yingqirui pointed at the table by the door.
Hao Chengbin thought that Peng Yingqirui looked so weak, he was really too psychologically fragile and decided to give him some guidance.
But the military wasn't like school; you couldn't adopt the slow and attentive education model of schools. There had to be some strong medicine.
So he scoffed on purpose, saying, "Just this, and you can't stand it? It's just a basin, you know? Do you know what the Squadron Instructor did to me when I first joined the troops?"
At these words, everyone was intrigued, especially Yue Tao, who had pulled his little stool right next to Hao Chengbin's legs.
"Squad leader, tell us!"
Hao Chengbin crossed his legs and smiled, "Back then, when we had just joined the troops, we encountered a major accident on the freeway!"
"Oh?" Zhao Bing, who had been studying the functionality of the folding stool, turned his head to join in on the setup.
"A truck had overturned in front, followed by a compact car pile-up. The truck was okay, but the compact car... it was a mess! The steel reinforcement bars from the truck... went right through the car, and through the heads! When we got there, we were tasked with removing the bodies from the car! We had to get the steel bars out!
The bars were sawed off, and when they were pulled out, the brain matter burst out from the wound and the nostrils! Do you know what color brain matter is? Not green! It's greyish white, with a bit of yellow! And the blood..."
Hao Chengbin described it vividly, and already some people were frowning.
"...After we finished the call, the Instructor took us to several streets to find a food stall. Brain tofu! Wow, the color was so similar! With a bit of chili oil mixed in! Stir it up... New recruits had to eat two bowls! I could never forget it for the rest of my life!"
(...•˘_˘•..)...
A group of rookies became more solemn as they thought about it.
"Right! Today you were all rushing to eat that Mapo Tofu! If the minced meat inside was raw and you stirred it up, it would be almost the same! Even more realistic than brain tofu!"
Yue Tao was the first to stick out his tongue and said "yue," while Peng Yingqirui, with a strange expression, covered his mouth and stood up.
"Squad leader, I need to go to the toilet!"
Hao Chengbin got up quickly and grabbed him, delivering the final blow to the still rational new recruits.
"If you're gonna vomit, do it right here! There's a trash can! What you threw up this morning was all noodles, right? And some eggs and stuff! You didn't eat much at noon! Let's see what else you can throw up. Let's all take a look and see if you secretly snacked on anything!"
Damn, that was a trip down memory lane.
Even Fang Huai couldn't hold back, he rolled his eyes and felt something stuck in his throat.
Now, everyone started to yue.
