As soon as he got off the commuter train, a chill of early spring hit him. He slipped under the gas mask through the untied collar, making Shen Rusong shiver from the cold. People were pushing him to the platform, and a wolfdog led by a group of armed guards who were passing by on duty started barking and barking when they saw so many strangers, even though they were wearing muzzles, causing people to kick them a few times. Then he was willing to be honest and disappeared at the end of the turnout with his tail between his legs.
Shen Rusong glanced at the place where the guards left. Compared with the underground city comprehensive transportation hub that takes the elevator to the surface and is commonly known as "Nantianmen", it has a denser track. The name of this complex is as simple as "7301". The directly-administered base is really not worth mentioning. Even so, there are at least six or seven railways leading to different directions at the turnout. They are surrounded by gillnet walls. The armored rail cars carrying exoskeleton infantry don't look like they are there. Like a locomotive.
Shen Rusong naturally thought of radiation beasts. Railway sleepers are often eaten by earth snakes and helmet rats, two of the most common radiation beasts in black soil, or used as temporary nests. Therefore, the Renaissance soldiers patrolling the transportation lines must be fully armed. In order to deal with the sudden awakening of earth snakes and the attack of helmeted rats, but generally speaking, as long as the number is not enough to overwhelm the beast tide, a standard team of 11 people is more than enough to deal with them. There is no need to mobilize such a large number of troops and dispatch armored troops. reason.
"Please note for those arriving at the station. Active duty personnel please use aisle 3, non-active personnel please use aisle 4, and military academy personnel please use aisle 12."
The broadcast on the platform repeated, and the huge crowd of people getting off the train quickly became more distinct. The cadets automatically formed a column and passed by the empty-handed replenishment infrastructure soldiers. The bright posters posted at the entrance of the passage are nothing new. As usual, they are soldiers holding guns and workers holding hammers. Behind one is a tank, and behind the other is a steel furnace. They stand together at the foot of Baishan Mountain. The same sentence still says, "Keep fighting and strengthen production." .”
But at least there are no lights when walking in the tunnel, there is natural light, which is very innovative.
The air intake of gas masks will always bother recruits, and many of them may not be able to adapt well after the training week. When they walk out of the passage, the blue sky and white clouds on the roof of the house will make the recruits' breathing stagnate.
People in khaki uniforms passed by in twos and threes. Many of them habitually hung their masks on their ears and chatted with each other. They didn't care that the sun illuminated their eyebrows. The transport trucks passing by on the roadside were filled with dust and splashes. Debris particles fell into people's hair, and a layer of gray-brown dust disappeared quietly after a few pats. They walked into the gray-white factory buildings and camps that were the same color as the wind and snow. In the distance, tank soldiers wearing fur hats After instructing the mechanics to pay attention to the gap between the pallets, the forklift came over to correct the deflection angle, so the tank slowly rolled over the gravel road and drove straight into the brightly lit maintenance plant, while the infrastructure soldiers shouted slogans, and two Work in pairs to carry in the wood piled outside the factory to be cut and smoothed to make rescue wood. Flower dogs and civet cats shuttled around their feet. Yes, they all wore name tags. They were some kind of military personnel.
"Remember clearly how to take the road. You will receive intensive training on the surface in the surrounding area below. Especially remember the location of the training ground!" Instructor Shao stopped at the intersection, pointed at the street sign and shouted.
"This is the way to the barracks. The innermost dormitory building belongs to you. Follow the base ring road to the east and the training ground."
An orange cat with a round belly was squatting on the lid of the trash can next to the street sign. It was not afraid of strangers and tilted its head to look at the group of people dressed in black. ..
Instructor Shao glanced at the cat licking its paws and looking at him with interest, and said:
"Be careful not to let any surface creatures tear the skin! There are cats here specially raised to find the nests of alien species, so don't be too curious!"
"yes!"
"Also, the most important thing..." The instructor turned sideways, raised his hand and said towards a low chimney in the distance.
"Find the shortest way to the cafeteria!"
Everyone burst into laughter as several jeeps covered with tarpaulins flew past, their tires squealing over ice shards, and the wind brought up a wave of instructors' coats.
"Food stamps and ration tickets are universal. When it's time to eat, you have to run fast! This is the surface. There are no cooks from the Military Academy to prepare meals for you, and there are no small stoves. During the training week, it is strictly forbidden to go to the infrastructure military camp, let alone privately Once you leave the base and are caught by the military police, not only will I punish you, I will also punish the squad leader! Ming
Is it white? "
"clear!"
"Turn left and walk together!"
When they arrived at the door of the cadet barracks, the instructor allowed everyone to take off their gas masks and take their first breath of surface air. Shen Rusong was not interested in tasting something sweet and salty, but hurriedly planned the journey from the barracks to the base he had not yet met. As for the distance from the canteen, the engineer must be familiar with the rangefinder, but visual inspection is also a skill.
Shen Rusong was silently doing additions and subtractions in his mind. After the instructor on the other side finished the training, he informed everyone to disband. After knowing the dormitory number, he went to rest. When he heard that the evening exercises were skipped, Gao Keming happily punched him first.
"You are so happy." Shen Rusong said angrily.
Gao Keming scratched his hair in confusion and looked at the crowd. Now everyone finally showed their faces. After Shen Rusong estimated the distance, this kid also stared at him for a while.
"Okay, okay, stop looking." Shen Rusong pressed his head helplessly, rolled up the mask and put it into the tube.
He glanced at the five-story dormitory building with surprisingly small windows and thought to himself that there was no difference between this building and the underground city. He pulled Gao Keming over and said:
"After putting away the things, I'll ask everyone to gather together for a meeting."
Shen Rusong looked at his watch. It was past 1 noon, and the radiation level was hovering at 28 μSv/h. It was of little significance to have such tight protection along the way.
"Okay." Gao Keming reluctantly looked away, but unexpectedly found that many people just put their equipment in the storage room and didn't choose their dormitories, so they headed out. He said doubtfully:
"Hey, which class are you in? Didn't the instructor say you can choose a place to live? These people are more anxious about the meeting than us?"
Shen Rusong hung the coats and vests that were most contaminated with radiation dust into the disinfection machine at the door, walked out of the washing room, and said:
"I've been assigned to a station after only four weeks of temporary accommodation. What's there to choose from?"
Shen Rusong randomly found a dormitory and took a look. Sure enough, it was a large store. He lowered his head and waved his hands, apologizing to the female official student inside for going to the wrong place.
Gao Keming looked like he could do this. ()
Yu Youan and Li Zuyong at the corner of the stairs in front saw them coming and gestured to the dormitory next to them. Shen Rusong was too lazy to bother anymore and occupied a bed. He took off his boots and folded his socks for a while, then took the bag. Use the fire to light up the smoke that comes.
White Bird cigarettes are the cheapest. A cigarette ticket plus eight cents is enough. If you are a soldier, you will be issued one pack a day. But the cadets are military academy cadets, so the rationing level will naturally be calculated separately. The treatment is indeed generous, but the cigarette ticket cannot be used. Province. White Bird cigarettes cost eight cents for twenty sticks, and they must taste extremely spicy, but considering that Shen Rusong's allowance is only seven yuan a month, this is really the only thing he can smoke.
The dormitory was filled with smoke, bringing with it the smell of their own feet. The smokers kept coughing. Shen Rusong didn't want to stay any longer. The four of them just sat on a cigarette and walked back to the base ring road, talking as they walked.
"Song Zi, if you want to bring Deng Feng in, I have no objection." The person who spoke was Yu You'an, who had a rosy complexion and was very muscular. Unfortunately, he was young and his hairline had faded a lot. He should have followed his parents.
Yu Youan had a square face, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said:
"The key is that during our confrontation training, there were two two-person teams. We can also divide them into three-person teams. That's one less person."
Shen Rusong had already expected such a question, and he replied:
"It doesn't matter. Let's do 311 for indoor cleaning operations. Spread the two wings. In previous training weeks, the red and blue confrontations were all played as a team of 11 people. In actual combat, it's hard to tell if the radiation beasts don't meet. Individual confrontations rely on their own skills. After that, a battalion If you go in, it will be easy to take care of."
Shen Rusong knew what they were worried about. The plate was so big and more than 300 people had already cleaned it. Usually, they take someone else's spot, and sometimes they break up a pre-booked team. If they cause public outrage and muddy the waters, how can those with strong backers put a note in their mouth?
Yu Youan held it in for a while, knowing that there was no point in arguing about this matter at this time, so he nodded in agreement, changed the subject, and talked about the four people who suddenly had no intention of starting a mobile brigade.
Shen Rusong couldn't figure out why they changed their minds in the last month. He didn't think that something as flexible as physical test scores could really hinder these four normally determined people.
Since they want to fight for the young master of the mobile brigade, it means that the matter is beyond the scope of what can be solved by handing in a note.
Gao Keming kicked pebbles as he walked, muttering to himself about why these immortals who had failed in the Renaissance Army had to eat enough to come to work. They should be honest and find a garrison to stay, and then they could return to their duties wholeheartedly.
The four of them stopped at the intersection, chatting about their meeting with Deng Feng and where they were going, whether to the canteen or the training ground. Hungry or not, they must have missed their meal now. The small stove wouldn't be their turn throughout the day, so it would be better to go back and heat up the canned food and feed their stomachs before getting familiar with the road.
Gao Keming complained that he was too tired and didn't want to move. He pointed to the military store next to the station at the intersection and said to buy two. However, after being young for so many years, Shen Rusong understood what he meant. Since it was Shen's idea to recruit Deng Feng. If it comes out, it makes everyone a little unhappy, so it's just right to pay for a canned meal.
Shen Rusong ran to the military store with his fingers in his trouser pockets. He took out dozens of colorful ration tickets from his inner pocket, but he became embarrassed when he started counting the tickets.
"I clearly remember that I put it away last night..." Shen Rusong clutched a fifty-yuan revival coin, and after counting it, he finally found that there were only two can tickets.
The teller squinted at Shen Rusong. He could tell at a glance that this was a young man who had just come to the surface. He brought money but no tickets. The tickets were universal, but the underground method of allowing over-purchasing was not universal!
Shen Rusong muttered secretly, then turned around and saw Gao Keming and the three of them chatting lively. It would be embarrassing to run to disrupt the situation. He thought it would be good to buy a few packs of good cigarettes and go back, so he stuffed the ration ticket back and said to himself. Said: "Soft harvest, soft white mountains..."
"Here are five packs of soft peony." Shen Rusong cut out five cigarette coupons, and the teller said "ho" and threw him four packs of peony cigarettes whose red peony color had faded.
Shen Rusong counted the change, suppressed his anger and said, "Two yuan a bag of peonies, you should ask me forty."
The teller said nonchalantly: "It's four yuan a pack, and there are no returns after sale."
"It is clearly stated that the price of goods above and below ground is the same!"
"This is the price of the base."
"Base price list? I want to see it!"
"You can also see secrets?"
Shen Rusong clenched his fists, knowing that if he got into an argument and didn't go back for a long time, and Gao Keming and the three of them came over, it wouldn't be a quarrel.
"What do you mean secret?" Before the voice could be heard, someone arrived first. Two white seeds flew into the teller's face. A girl with a bag of preserved fruits in her hand half leaned to the counter and half stood at the counter. She picked up a dried strawberry and raised her head. When she took it into her mouth, the crimson juice flowed down her plump lips.
The girl eating dried strawberries laughed and turned around to greet her sisters. She flicked the preserved fruit bag and made a "bah, bah, bah" sound.
"Here, buy ten bags of dried fruits. Don't say you don't have them. My mother bought them from you last week."
The teller was about to speak, but was interrupted by her gesture. She directly slapped a hundred-dollar bill, and the gold thread shone brightly.
"Bring me the secret you mentioned."
