NIP Chapter 150: Life is not easy
Chapter 150: Life is not easy
Looking at the neat and solemn team downstairs, a murderous aura rushed towards his face, and a flash of shock flashed under Chen Lu's eyes.
It was visually estimated that there were more than 100 people, all of them dressed in military green uniforms, with dark faces and fully armed. Their resolute faces seemed to have been carved, and their postures were upright. They stood there like silver spears pointing straight into the sky.
If after three months, Chen Lu and others have been tempered into steel and become real soldiers, then the current veterans of the Second Investigation Company are real soldiers, warriors who have been bathed in the flames of war.
Facing them, Chen Lu suddenly felt palpitations in his heart.
"Squad leader, is there a leader from the brigade headquarters coming to inspect today?"
Chen Lu's throat rolled and he stopped.
Xu Jiang turned his head and glanced at Chen Lu, with a serious face: "No."
Chen Lu motioned to Xu Jiang to the troops in front, "Then what are they doing?"
"What do you say?"
Xu Jiang's face was expressionless.
"Squad leader, don't tell me that people from the second reconnaissance company are lining up waiting for me. That's an exaggeration!"
Chen Lu's eyes widened with disbelief.
"They are waiting for you. You are the king of recruits. They are all curious about what a recruit who has broken three brigade records looks like."
Xu Jiang's tone was full of lemon flavor.
Why, when I joined the company, I was taken directly to the dormitory and it was fine. The veterans in the same dormitory all applauded symbolically.
Now, a company lines up here to greet a new recruit?People who didn't know better thought that the head of the brigade was coming down to inspect.
As expected, comparing people to each other will lead to death, and comparing goods will lead to loss. The recruits who broke the brigade record are just different!
"Squad leader, you are really here to welcome us, is that right?"
Chen Lu's confidence was a bit lacking.
He bets that there are not many veterans inside who are willing to stand here and wait for him. There must be something fishy here. The most likely reason is that they are forced to do so by the company commander's majesty.
Haven't the leaders already made enemies for themselves before this even started?
Keeping a low profile is the way to go, and Chen Lu had the urge to turn around and leave.
"I'm here to welcome you, not me."
Xu Jiang scolded angrily, "You are getting an advantage and still behaving like a good boy. I didn't get such treatment back then. Let's go!"
The next moment, looking at Chen Lu who was still stunned, Xu Jiang urged.
After speaking, he strode towards the team in front.
Helpless, Chen Lu took a deep breath and could only move forward.
There is no way to resist, you can only accept it with your legs crossed.
"Report! Company commander, third squad leader Xu Jiang, brought recruit Chen Lu to report, please give instructions."
Xu Jiang stood in front of two veterans with the rank of captain, saluted, and shouted loudly.
Chen Lu immediately stood at attention, saluted the veterans, and at the same time looked at the two captains standing in front of him.
The leader at the front is wearing a military uniform, with a thin face, black hair, deep Sichuan lines between his eyebrows, and fine crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, which together reflect the vicissitudes of time, with sharp eyes and a serious expression.
It should be the dark-faced Company Commander Miao mentioned by Yang Song.
The other captain has a Chinese-character face, a tall figure, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and bright eyes. He is less majestic and more approachable.
It should be the instructor responsible for team management.
While Chen Lu was examining the other party, all eyes of the Second Reconnaissance Company were focused on Chen Lu. Everyone was curious about whether this new recruit who the company commander had asked the company commander to assemble as a company to greet him was a three-headed and six-armed recruit.
A company lined up to welcome a new recruit. This was also the first of its kind for the second reconnaissance company. No, it might be the first of its kind for the entire brigade.
"It doesn't look very good to me. It's also a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth."
"He looks quite handsome. This guy has broken three brigade records."
"A new recruit comes to our Second Sharp Knife Company, and he's not even a rookie."
Many recruits slandered, their eyes full of disdain.
Feeling all kinds of looks, some of which were hostile, Chen Lu smiled helplessly.
"Welcome the king of recruits who have broken many disciplines to join our second company."
At this time, the thin-faced captain spoke, with a smile on his face and said warmly.
After saying that, he took the lead in clapping, followed by Sheila's warm applause from the team.
The formation was a bit scary... Chen Lu suddenly felt his scalp numb.
Before he could react, he was pulled over by the squad leader.
"Hey, hello veterans, hello squad leader."
There was no other way, so Chen Lu forced himself to wave and say hello.
As a result, not many of these people, including Sheila, had smiles on their faces.
Obviously, the treatment they gave Chen Lu, a new recruit, when he reported to the company on his first day, made not only Xu Jiang angry, but also all the veterans now.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little awkward.
Miao Lian naturally saw it. Amid Chen Lu's sneer, he turned around and glanced at all the veterans with sharp eyes. His warm tone suddenly turned serious and he said, "What, you look down on the new recruits?"
There was silence in the team for a moment, but the unruly eyes of everyone said it all.
"Were you so obsessed with it in the first place?"
Miao Lian suddenly raised his voice, "You're still looking down on people, 3000 meters is eight minutes and 26 seconds, five kilometers cross-country is 49 minutes and 23 seconds, disassembling and assembling the August [-]st rifle is [-] seconds."
"Which of you has such achievements, when you come back, I will personally come to the door to welcome you."
Of course he knows what these veterans think.
The Second Reconnaissance Company rarely accepts new recruits directly. The team is full of top veterans. This time we have accepted the best recruit, but so what, here are all elites!
They lined up to welcome me, but when we arrived at a new starting point, we were still lagging behind...
Miao Lian glanced at the veterans fiercely, then turned to Chen Lu, "I am your new company commander, Miao Yiming, and this is your instructor, Wang Tianhua."
His tone was warm and he was smiling, just like a class teacher facing a high-quality student.
Xu Jiang's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face.
Just now, Miao Company led the entire Second Company to line up to welcome Chen Lu. It was already unbelievable, and now it was even more shocking.
He had never seen the dark-faced Miao Company talk to a new recruit with a cheerful face, and he was a new recruit reporting to the company on his first day.
The eyes of everyone in the Second Company team were even more unfriendly.
"I wonder what the company commander is thinking? The whole company is welcoming a new recruit Dan Zai. People who don't know better think it's the brigade commander who has come down."
"What kind of recruit king? When you come to us, you don't have to start from scratch."
"That's not what I said. It's not like the Raptors can't cross the river. The record of the three brigades is not a decoration."
"So what? Is our Second Company of Sharp Knife supported by a few brigade records? Speaking of whether this guy is a back-door soldier, I have never seen a company commander treat anyone so well."
In the queue, the faces of all the veterans looked ugly.
It's normal when you think about it. In their eyes, Chen Lu is just a rookie and a lowly, but he ends up enjoying treatment that they are not qualified to enjoy.
No one's heart is balanced.
"Hello company commander!"
"Hello instructor!"
Miao Lian was not as dark-faced as Yang Song said... Chen Lu quickly stood at attention and saluted.
In fact, Chen Lu didn't know that Miao Yiming liked young people very much, especially young people with potential. He liked to watch their rapid growth.
"President Shi Guo."
At this moment, Miao Lian shouted towards the team.
"To!"
In an instant, a soldier walked out of the queue.
"Chen Lu has left it to your class. The luggage will be sent to the dormitory."
Miao continued to order.
Many veterans in the team secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at each other with smiles in their eyes.
"It's none of our business to go to the first squad. I'm afraid the company commander will force it on us."
"Haha! Fortunately, it was a false alarm. A new recruit is acting like a special forces soldier. What kind of rookie king? I don't want it."
"That's not it. What does a newcomer know? He has directly lowered our level."
"Poor class, poor Shi Guo."
All the veterans were secretly delighted, especially the squad leaders. Seeing the expression on Squad Leader Shi Guo's face, there was a bit of schadenfreude.
Naturally, some people are happy and some are sad.
In the first class queue, many veterans looked as dark as if they had just rolled out of the coal mine. If the company commander and instructor were not still there, someone would definitely have swore.
"Yes."
Shi Guo immediately responded loudly.
This will be my future squad leader... Chen Lu looked at the new squad leader, who had a serious face and no expression on his dark face.
The other person is not as tall as Xu Jiang, about 172cm tall, has a popular face, and his eyes are not as sharp as that of Old Xu. Anyway, his main focus is not to show his emotions or anger.
"Hello squad leader."
Chen Lu immediately saluted Shi Guo and said hello.
"Take your luggage and come with me. I'll take you to the dormitory first to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment."
Shi Guo nodded slightly and said calmly, but there was still no expression on his face.
When you're done, turn around and leave.
Chen Lu turned around and saluted Xu Jiang, a strange look flashed deep in his eyes, and then silently followed the new squad leader with his backpack on his back.
Starting today, he has to hang out with the new squad leader, and life is not going to be easy... Chen Lu muttered in his heart, but did not speak.
Because he is good at dealing with people, he knows when to speak and when not to speak.
Xu Jiang saluted and left.
Send Chen Lu to the Second Investigation Company. His mission has been completed.
