Noisy chirping came from his ears, as if he was sitting in an open-air coffee house at the airport. The deafening noises launched fatal attacks one after another. Lan Li waved his hand subconsciously, trying to drive away the irritability, but found that his muscles were stiff and unable to move at all, which made him a little panic. But no matter how hard he tried or struggled, he was motionless, and even a little finger could not move, as if he was pressing against the bed.

"Get up! Come together!"

A thunderous sound exploded in his ears. Lan Li sat up straight, her eyes opened slightly, and a dazzling light came in, making her pupils hurt. She closed her eyes hard, and then when she opened them again, she finally adapted to the light. Several soldiers appeared in front of her. They rudely lifted each of their sheets, shouting, "Get together! Gather!"

Before they could come, Renli quickly got out of the bed. The pain from his thighs and arms almost suffocated him. He gritted his teeth and did not shout. He put on his socks as quickly as possible. After thinking about it, he simply put two pairs of socks up to at least reduce friction. Then he put on his boots and stood up in a hurry.

After looking back, Rami was also putting on shoes at this time. James on the other side had already stood up, but two huge suitcases occupied the aisle, so his movements of standing up were really funny. James and Renley exchanged a glance, and he showed a helpless smile, "I think I should not be able to hold on to the last day."

Lan Li couldn't help but smile, "This is just the first day."

Several people quickly spread their steps outside the barracks. The slogans in their ears became more and more fierce and fierce, with no sign of relaxation. Lanli had only time to scan with her eyes. Richard lay on the bed like a real corpse, without any movement. However, Lanli had no time or energy to pay attention to others, and withdrew her gaze and ran out quickly.

The outside world is still dark, with the stars falling down, so cold that it makes people shivering. It is still midsummer, and it actually makes people feel that it is early winter.

It should be around 2:00 a.m. It was not assembled at 6:00 a.m. as the trailer, Lan Li couldn't help but remember Tim's advice. Sure enough, Tim was not talking about the itinerary for the next nine days. The first day was not over yet. The long first day seemed to be unable to see the end.

Four-mile weight-bearing trail running.

At three o'clock in the morning, he started a four-mile cross-country running with weight. He didn't even know whether it was a gun or a stone in his backpack. Even the kettle he carried with him was a burden. Fortunately, he maintained a little rationality and did not really throw it away. Of course, he always felt that it was because he didn't even have the strength to throw the kettle.

I don’t know if it was because his muscles were completely numb and lost the pain, or because after the previous exercise, he had begun to adapt to this intensity initially, and his thoughts began to slowly re-operate.

Lan Li knew that compared to those soldiers who had really experienced war, what they were experiencing now was just drizzle. Even for the ten-day recruit training camp, this was the beginning; but he couldn't help but think about it. After Eugene walked onto the battlefield with a passion, he saw the inhumane hell on earth. Is the shock of his heart like this: from shock to nausea, to fear, to numbness, and finally to loss.

It was like he had just seen Richard.

Putting aside the insignificant little conflict between him and Richard, after reaching the extreme of mental fatigue, he gradually began to lose the ability to feel the surroundings. Perhaps, at the beginning, all he lost was fear, just like a forensic doctor or a policeman. After more death contact, he became accustomed to it; but slowly, the emotions that defined human nature began to gradually disappear, he could not perceive pain, he could not compassionate the world, he could not continue to firmly believe, he began to become cold, become trunk, and take it for granted.

Lanley clearly remembers a scene in the "Pacific War": Eugene pried open the dead man's mouth and dug out the gold teeth in the Japanese soldier's mouth.

Before this, Eugene always refused this behavior, and even felt nauseous and painful, which violated his belief: the dead are gone, at least they give enough respect to the dead, there is no need to show the humblest, greedy, and ugliest face of human nature for a little bit of gold. This also made him very repulsive to the indifferent Merrill Sheldon at the beginning, and the relationship between the two was far from friendly.

However, that day, Eugene's world finally collapsed. After the Japanese soldiers used civilian pregnant women as human flesh bombs, he seemed to have lost his mind. He tried to pry a dead body that had been decayed for a long time and began to rot, and dig out the gold teeth inside. At that moment, the madness and paranoia were completely out of control.

At this moment, Lanley first felt the struggle and collapse deep in Eugene's heart for the first time, as if his soul was torn apart. However, this was just a small feeling that was difficult to describe accurately in words. Or, those who have not really experienced the battlefield could not truly experience the despair of falling apart. How painful is this transformation? The calm surface is calm but the change in the heart cannot be seen.

Renli couldn't help but think of Tim, maybe, they could be friends, they could communicate. Tim could help him gain insight into the realities of those battlefields, different from those on books and movies.

Looking at Rami and James who were standing side by side, they became each other's partners without realizing it. James grinned and panted, "I know I'm very attractive, but I'm not interested in men." The joke made Renli and Rami laugh directly, and even a small circle of people next to him chuckled, and someone behind him jokingly said, "It's a pity that men are not interested in you either." Now, everyone burst into laughter.

Apart from introducing themselves, they had no time to talk, but their familiarity slowly spread in the air.

At least one point, Renly was right. The boot camp was just the beginning. After the four-mile weight-bearing trail run, they only got two hours of rest and then went into training again. Renly didn't even remember what he ate for breakfast, but just tucked it into his mouth.

During the meal, Lan Li heard that there was no dinner in the entire camp last night, and everyone slept all night on hunger. Lan Li originally thought that he was the only one who was unlucky, but he missed the dinner because he fell asleep. After hearing the news, he became more and more balanced, "At least I slept well last night."

James, who was sitting opposite, rolled his eyes and turned to the back of his forehead.

The training on the next day was still long. In addition to the previous basic training, they also conducted simulation training on the real battlefield, just like field games with paintball guns, but they were not paintball guns, but empty bullets. Although they would not be injured after hitting, the impact force like a heavy hammer is enough to make people fall down.

What's even more terrifying is that because it was the first time to conduct actual combat training, everyone not only did not have tacit understanding, they each formed their own formation, but also had no tactics. Faced with the enemy team composed of real soldiers, they were wiped out in less than fifteen minutes, and only two of the other party were injured.

Before the second round of training began, the lieutenant led the team formally gave them tactical explanations, including analyzing the terrain, analyzing the enemy formation, and the distribution of guns and ammunition. Everyone cooperated according to their positions in the series. This round of training was still wiped out by the entire team of actors, but they persisted for 35 minutes and successfully knocked down three people from the opponent's camp.

This is an improvement, although very weak.

In the evening, after finishing the 800-meter cross-country obstacle course training, they finally got a rest time. Since entering the camp yesterday, they almost didn't have a stable rest within 24 hours, so most actors believed that there should be no training tonight. But Renley reserved his attitude towards this.

Three hours later, the people in Barracks No. 3 were lying in a broken ruin, surrounded by wilderness. They had just marched in the darkness, not knowing the direction or the time. There was nothing to judge the direction except a compass.

The lieutenant told the night attack to start in forty-five minutes.

Lan Li couldn't help but pull his coat, but it didn't work at all. The ruins were covered with wind holes, looking like a sieve. The biting cold wind was everywhere. He wore a close-fitting underwear, a shirt and a coat, which could not resist the cold at all. But the ridiculous thing was that it was July now, so ironic.

Turning his head and looking at Rami who was huddling in the corner of the wall, he held his backpack in his arms, curled up like a koala, keeping as warm as possible; James sitting next to him was not much better, he took off his socks and put them on his hands like gloves, studying how to retract his hands into his cuffs.

Renli shook his head speechlessly, then took off his boots, took off a pair of socks, and handed them over. Seeing James' puzzled eyes, he explained, "I wore two pairs of socks when I set off."

James immediately widened his eyes in surprise, and his expression in the moonlight seemed a little funny, "Man, you are really my life-savior."

"Two cigarettes." Looking at James's hand, Renli put his socks back and said. On the real battlefield, it is normal for comrades to help each other, and the only thing they can circulate is cigarettes, which is a luxury. Now, Renli has brought such a habit.

James grinded his teeth, snatched the pair of socks, then stuffed one into Rami's arms, "a cigarette." Then he rolled up the remaining socks, stuffed them into his backpack, and finally stuffed his feet directly in. The appearance looked so funny that even Rami couldn't help but raise his head.

In the cold wind, they are like dead leaves hanging on branches in autumn, trembling but still unwilling to fall. This is indeed a bit like a real battlefield.
