Not long after Shen Rusong lay down, the pain in his forehead became more and more painful after the stitches were done. He closed his eyes and fell asleep somehow. He didn't even want to eat dinner. Even Gao Keming specially bought his favorite food from the base labor insurance store. Shen Rusong only took a few bites of the red bean cake. He slept deeply until dawn the next day.
The barracks were changed, but the reveille was still the same. Shen Rusong groaned and climbed out of bed. They dressed each other and reviewed the complicated equipment for outdoor activities. At seven o'clock, when we lined up in the small playground in front of the dormitory, the sun was gray and we were not energetic.
After counting the number of people, instructor Shao led the cadets to the training ground. Seven o'clock in the morning is quite harsh for the surface where it is still early spring and the frost and snow are still early to thaw, but it is also the most suitable time to work before the scorching sun at noon. The main roads in the base have been busy with vehicles and people coming and going. When the wind subsides, communications propeller aircraft, especially wooden biplanes, will fly over the base at very low altitudes, delivering letters and urgently needed medicines to outlying bases hundreds of kilometers away.
The base that maintains a railway transportation system with the underground city is called a deployment base, and the 101 base can be seen from the number that it is the earliest base established and the closest to the Baishan Underground City. From the 52nd year of the Restoration Calendar to 40 years ago, this base was formerly an outpost of the surface exploration team. The half-buried outpost bunker was not only the center of the base, but also an educational building. When Shen Rusong passed by there, he happened to see people making archways, and the bright red letters were extremely clear through the wind and snow:
"Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the establishment of our 101 base."
The outpost bunker is surrounded by office buildings and small gray buildings with white light shining through the windows. However, like the functional buildings such as the train workshop, machine shop, maintenance room, assembly camp, and hospital outside, the flags are only embedded in the walls, or Just paint it on the wall. It is said to be in compliance with air defense regulations. Shen Rusong wondered if there could still be hostile forces these days? Weren't they blown to ashes a century ago?
Base 101 has been expanded many times in response to the extension of the Baishan Railway Line. It is the terminus of the Baishan-Fengyang Line, Baishan-Xidu Line, and the Baishan-Yanqi Line that is currently under construction. The scale can be imagined, covering an area twice that of the second largest 291 coal base. When the ground was hardened, the swamps outside were also drained. After the terrain was reshaped, it became the 101 surface training ground that every surface recruit must visit.
A double-layer barbed wire fence with signs such as "Radiation Danger," "Mutant Danger," and "Military Forbidden Areas" occupies a large area. There are towering sentry towers around, at the entrance, and in the center, and there is an infantry fighting vehicle at the entrance. Guard, the 20mm cannon has always been the best weapon for destroying mutant beasts.
The team stopped at the entrance. Gao Keming craned his neck and looked in, saying, "Hey, what are all the things in there? Why can't I see anything?"
"Is it okay for you to see it?" Yang Quan snorted.
As they were clearing customs one by one, several 12-wheel trucks drove into the special lane. The cargo compartments covered by black tarpaulins kept making collision and hitting sounds. The more intense ones even shook the cargo compartments. Although the violent roars only escaped a little. , but it was enough to scare the new recruits nearby.
The staff member who caught up with Shen Rusong to clear the customs and threw a locator to him chatted with his companions: "What kind of beast was caught? It feels like there is a lot of movement, it's awesome."
"I can't suppress it even with sedatives. What's the matter? Is there a Class B? King Helmet Rat?"
"A rat can do this? I guess it must be at least a swamp-dwelling demon, a human wolf, a puffed-up living corpse, or something like that."
"Good boy, if you let one of them out, the guards will feel sad. It's not good to let these new recruits die. Hey, has the quota of training deaths been increased this year?"
"It seems... let me think about it, I drank with Wang Tou yesterday... well, it was too much."
"Fortunately, my son is only six years old."
Shen Rusong unconsciously tied the locator tighter. Walking in the isolation road, looking at the green, gray and white mottled training ground outside, I can't help but feel frightened. Not to mention the printed books in the dungeon. In the academy, identifying mutant beasts and understanding their corresponding weaknesses is a key course. He knew very well what the staff just talked about about the vicious and bloodthirsty beasts. He thought they were quite far away. , Who knows, at the latest two or three weeks, he will have to fight with real swords and guns.
The webway separated them from the wilderness, and the occasional laughter when they set out quickly fell silent. There was only the sound of sneezing when the fishy wind blew, and the snot and tears were mixed in the masks, making them look miserable.
Passing over a defensive wall made of reinforced concrete and equipped with electrified barbs, the cadets stopped in the square in front of a group of dilapidated buildings, including bungalows, buildings, concave and convex buildings, bunkers, and small fortresses. Shen Rusong always had good eyesight, and he immediately discovered the unique cover elevator of the protection unit.
There were more than 20 well-equipped armored infantry stationed in the square. Qing Yishui'er's "Phoenix"-shaped exoskeleton. The leader raised his loudspeaker and said:
"Cough~cough! Ah, let me first welcome all comrades to the 101 surface training ground. I am Second Lieutenant Yao Qilu from the armored guard company of the training ground. The twenty-two infantrymen I lead will be your safety supervisors and your training from now on. Teacher, right in front of you is a subject, 'Ruins Survival Simulation'!"
"Remember first, the code name of this area is Jiasan. It is prohibited to go to other areas without permission during training. Otherwise, if you encounter an ongoing training simulation or a mutant beast, your safety supervisors will not be able to rescue you immediately! All trainees, It is forbidden to stay overnight in the training ground. After training, where did you come from and where do you go back? Keep my words in mind and ensure safe training! Understand?"
"clear!"
Subsequently, each cadet was assigned to the instructor and training building in order of the team, and the other building was filled in when it was used up. Although the schedule for doing this was very tight, thousands of cadets and cadets in the entire underground city were training in early spring, and the 101 training ground could be said to be operating at full capacity.
Shen Rusong raised his head and stopped at a building that was at least more than forty meters tall. This building with a dilapidated and crumbling exterior wall could be said to be the tallest building in the entire base. The layers seemed to be covered with something similar. The thick cardboard used to frame the windows let in the skylight, and the strange-looking steps at the entrance made everyone feel like they were seeing it for the first time.
The instructor assigned to Shen Rusong briefly introduced himself, just call him Sergeant Chen. He put his hands on his hips in an open space in front of the entrance that was completely covered by shadows and said:
"During your training in the dungeon, have you ever seen a pre-war standard building like this? It has 15 floors and is almost 50 meters high."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Sergeant Chen chuckled and said: "It's good to know, then you little bastards are lucky. The empty shell building in the underground city can only teach climbing and rappelling at most, and it can't hold up the indoor space." Confrontation. This building of ours is interesting, here, have you seen the power distribution room?"
The entrance to the small house, which was tightly guarded by a fence, had a sign for a power distribution room, and there were even a few gasoline barrels piled up. Shen Rusong thought to himself, "Damn it, are you spending so much money?" Are you willing to burn gasoline?
"You've all seen it, my enemy." Sergeant Chen took out a cigarette and lit it, but said seriously: "Don't look at me smoking and you smoke too! I will tell you bastards about the subjects that may be tested later, so listen up."
Shen Rusong almost wanted to take out his notebook and take notes.
“In a radiation environment, within a limited time period in an unfamiliar building, assess where the building is suitable for defense and lay out defenses, assess the utilization of old equipment and repair or build power supply, rescue supplies and rescue the wounded in dangerous situations, assess and deploy battlefield communication networks, Emergency rappelling, emergency mine laying, emergency evacuation..."
Sergeant Chen spoke eloquently. Shen Rusong's head was already hurting, but now it hurt even more. He asked Yang Chen in a low voice how many subjects there were in this subject. The latter said that it was actually about putting the skills learned in school to use, and there was no need to walk around other training buildings. But the bad news is, what should I say about this project...
Quite tiring...
On the 15th floor, he carried a full set of thirty or forty kilograms of engineering equipment up and down, and he was still fighting for time. Even in a radiation-free environment like a dungeon, one would be exhausted, let alone such a gloomy ghost place. And looking at Sergeant Chen's carefree appearance, Shen Rusong knew intuitively that there was more to the matter than that.
"Ah, I forgot to mention it." Sure enough, the old veteran added slowly. Holding a cigarette, he nodded casually at the four assigned teams and said:
"There are two types of projects: cooperation and competition. I won't explain the competition system, but one thing is that the teams in the cooperation compete against each other in the competition."
As soon as these words came out, the cadets were no longer calm. The expressions on the faces of different squad groups were uncertain, and they looked suspiciously at the students around them who might have been bragging just now.
It's easy to say that it's easy to cooperate to complete the project. In confrontation, you have to play the role of the red and blue forces. Either one party will destroy the other party, or one party will be the first to complete the scheduled task. The loser will lose one point of the game. There are no discretionary bonuses such as good performance or bloody battles. Points, no. During the dungeon simulation training, this kind of competition system affects the final score and then determines the ranking. The ranking determines whether the elite troops will be trained in the future. In dungeons, confrontations were all randomly assigned. Now cooperation is also confrontation, so wouldn’t cooperative matches also become confrontation matches?
"Hurry up and make a decision. I'm going to pee. I'm still peeing when I come back. Don't blame me for doing it casually." Sergeant Chen lifted up his crotch and walked away swaggeringly.
As soon as this bastard left, the four teams became instantly distinct.
Shen Rusong stood among the other ten people, ten pairs of eyes staring at him, ten brothers who had been with him for three years. Even though Shen Rusong knew that individual fighting and three-man hunting accounted for the biggest points, the team's collective points were crucial to everyone!
The sky was still gray and white, and Shen Rusong said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please calm down! Don't worry about who we will deal with when the time comes, and we know the strength of Team 9 best."
"We've been waiting for today, so let me ask you, did you enjoy the fight yesterday?"
"No!" Yang Chen responded.
Shen Rusong hit him with his backhand and cursed: "In the first cooperative match, we are aboveboard. We will not stumble and will not stumble with others. Zhao Liang's class and Liu Quanzhong's class are usually familiar with each other. Zhao Liang This guy has a lot of eyes, but I know that this guy is not a mother-in-law, Yang Bi, you fucking know it best!"
Yang Chen chuckled and touched the back of his head and said, "Zhao Liang, this kid doesn't fight with three sides, so we can work together."
"Then we and Zhao Liang have no objections, right?"
"Listen to the monitor!"
"Listen to Brother Songzi!"
