Fifty-six people were missing.
Fifty-six less eliminations.
After walking in silence for a while, soldier He Quan led a group of qualified candidates back to the dormitory building.
"Meals will be served on time at 6 p.m., hot water will be provided at 5:30, the Internet will be cut off around the clock, and communication with the outside world is prohibited, and lights will be turned off on time at 9:30 to rest." Entering the dormitory building, soldier He Quan reminded the candidates: "You can go to the playground It is strictly forbidden to enter the confidential area during the event. Of course, someone will remind you, do you hear me clearly?"
"Listen clearly." Everyone responded loudly.
He Quan nodded with satisfaction and gave instructions: "Okay, now we are dismissed on the spot, rest freely, and go to the cafeteria on time for dinner at six o'clock."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
It's half past four, and there's still an hour and a half to rest.
For a moment, the boys who had remained silent suddenly became excited and returned to their dormitories to prepare to lie down.
This long-distance running assessment can be called a scalp-numbing strenuous exercise, which is like torture to many people.
After He Quan turned around and left, He Ping, a roommate with the same surname from 302, immediately walked towards Zhou Hai, exclaiming: "Damn it, Zhou Hai, you are really awesome. Have you practiced long-distance running before? You are so awesome, you didn't notice." The look on those officers’ faces.”
"I haven't practiced before." Zhou Hai smiled at He Ping and walked towards the stairs.
He Ping was stunned: "Damn it, I haven't practiced before, how is this possible?"
Jiang Lei, who was next to him, followed him with a hearty smile: "Brother Zhou Hai, you can do it today. I'm really convinced. I've been practicing sports for half a year and I still can't catch up with you."
Zhou Hai smiled again without saying much.
I can't accept this.
Do you want to say that you are all rubbish, I didn't even use my full strength, I was just warming up?
A smiling expression that closes the distance is always a universal reply,
At this time, Zhang Zhe, with a stern face, suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Hai, speaking in a low and powerful voice: "You are very strong, Zhou Hai, and you are a competitor worthy of respect and friendship. My name is Zhang Zhe, and I am a listed company."
"..."
Zhou Hai, who wanted to speak in his heart, fell into silence in the true sense. He took a deep breath, resisted the slightly impulsive move of his right hand, and kept smiling:
"My name is Zhou Hai, I live in Rongcheng, Sichuan Province."
What kind of education did this guy have?
Are you annoyed?
"I will defeat you. Only the truly strong can become pilots." Zhang Zhe raised his head slightly, showing a proud look, and made his own declaration to Zhou Hai.
Zhou Hai exhaled a breath: "Okay, I wish you the best." He bypassed Zhang Zhe who was blocking him and entered the stairs.
If he continued to communicate with Zhang Zhe, Zhou Hai felt that his patience would probably disappear.
Zhang Zhe's expression remained unchanged, not caring about Zhou Hai's attitude at all. He glanced at Jiang Lei and He Ping coldly, turned around and walked up the stairs.
"Let's go." Jiang Lei scratched his head, He Ping shrugged, looked at each other, and walked up the stairs one after another, preparing to return to the dormitory to rest.
…
In dormitory 302.
Zhou Hai sat on the bed, slightly straightened the folds on the edge of the mattress, then took out the books in the suitcase and read them with relish.
There is still an hour and a half before dinner time, so make good use of it and learn knowledge.
He Ping, who walked into the dormitory shortly after, saw Zhou Hai sitting on the upper bunk holding a book and reading with gusto. He was stunned, and his eyes revealed an incredible look: "Fuck, Zhou Hai, you actually Reading a book! What kind of book is this?"
Reading and studying?
God, we are students who have just finished the college entrance examination. Shouldn't we relax?
"Do you want to read about aerodynamics? Fundamentals of Aerodynamics, Sixth Edition, the latest book by aviation guru John D. Anderson, is one of the required courses in aviation schools."
Zhou Hai explained patiently while reading the book, with a gentle smile on his face: "If you are good at English, I recommend you to read the original English book to appreciate Anderson's original thoughts."
"..." He Ping fell into silence after hearing Zhou Hai's words.
Zhang Zhe and Jiang Lei, who were standing at the door, also remained silent.
Reading?
Who is John D. Anderson, the aviation guru?
Aerodynamics, one of the required courses in aviation school?
Wait, do we need to work so hard? !
Why live the boring life of an ascetic?
After thinking about it, everyone ignored Zhou Hai's invitation and dragged their extremely tired bodies back to their corresponding beds, ready to have a good rest.
Put these things aside for now, the most important thing now is to take a rest.
Even Zhang Zhe, who had a stern face, said nothing and lay silently on the bed to rest.
"Hey, Jiang Lei, Zhang Zhe, Zhou Hai, do you have a signal on your mobile phones?" He Ping sat on the bed, holding a smartphone in his hand, fiddling with it, and couldn't help but ask everyone.
"The selection center does not collect mobile phones. We were just informed that communication with the outside world is prohibited. Obviously, signal shielding equipment is used here. It is military-grade and has excellent performance."
Zhou Hai gently opened a new page, mentally calculated the formulas given in the book, and quickly absorbed the theoretical knowledge. Then he smiled at He Ping and said, "Do you want to read the book? Study in advance."
"dont see……"
When He Ping heard Zhou Hai's words, he rolled his eyes and said nothing. He put his mobile phone without network signal back into his trouser pocket and lay back calmly.
The feeling of losing touch with the world is irritating and hopeless.
Still, have a good sleep.
As for reading and studying?
It doesn’t exist, I didn’t work that hard!
Looking at He Ping lying helplessly, Jiang Lei showed a simple smile, lay on the soft mattress, and rested quietly.
The same goes for Zhang Zhe on the upper bunk.
After the torturous long-distance running physical test, everyone was exhausted. Except for Zhou Hai, all the qualified candidates had no energy to play and toss.
The faint scent of lavender permeated the bedroom.
The venomous sunshine gradually softens over time, like a charming and gentle woman, gently brushing on the face and warming the heart.
Dormitory 302, the only fully occupied dormitory room in the first round of assessment, gradually calmed down.
There was silence, and you could hear a needle drop.
There was only the slight sound of turning pages every once in a while.
Not long after, the quiet leisure time was broken.
All the eliminated candidates, after a period of rest and recovery, returned to the dormitory one by one, packed their beds and luggage, returned their temporary certificates, and sadly left the Selection Center of the Aircraft Recruitment Bureau.
The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with red clouds.
After all the eliminated candidates left, it was time for lunch.
"Groan!"
A sharp and rapid whistle sounded, and He Quan, a soldier with full muscles and a fierce look on his face, stood at the door of the boys' dormitory: "All candidates, assemble!"
The sound was loud and clear, resounding throughout the dormitory building.
"Everyone, get up, there are still five minutes until six o'clock."
Hearing He Quan's loud shouts and whistles, Zhou Hai closed his thick book, rubbed his swollen forehead, and shouted to the other three people who were still sleeping soundly in the dormitory.
Now, Zhou Hai felt strong hunger, and his body was in urgent need of replenishing enough energy.
