🔥Killing 1 Interstellar Bug Soldier = 1 Soul Point! He Bombed the Alien Bug Nest with 10 Nukes

200 years ago, the global nuclear war

took a heavy toll on humanity and the

earth was devastated. The population

dropped from nearly 10 billion to 3

billion. Countries formed a peaceful

federation temporarily ending the civil

war. Nuclear war brought about

technological breakthroughs, ushering

humanity into the interstellar age.

However, with the arrival of the

interstellar age, a new battle for

resources has begun. 10 years ago, the

Federation was on the verge of collapse

when the Arageni insecttoids appeared.

Crenisesu, the home world of the Zerg,

has a diameter of over 130,000 km. The

powerful gravity attracts countless

small celestial bodies forming the

asteroid belt. These celestial bodies

are the insect meteors capable of

escaping gravity and hurtling towards

Earth. Various countries sent fleets to

investigate, but the fleets were lost

forever after landing. The man sat in

the classroom feeling uneasy. 5 minutes

earlier, he had suddenly realized he had

traveled through time. Soon, he realized

he had been transported to a science

fiction world, Starship Troopers. Zhao

Yuan knew that these fleets were left

forever on the Zergs planet. Their

wreckage forgotten by all. 5 minutes

later, the bell rang, interrupting Zhao

Yuan's thoughts. Graduates fill out

their destination forms and hand them in

to me. This afternoon, the teacher

announced the end of Get Out of Class,

and the classroom immediately became

lively as students gathered in twos and

threes to discuss. Zhao Yuan was about

to leave when he turned around and saw

Carl Jenkins standing behind him. Hey

Joe, your telepathy has improved again.

Want to test it? Maybe next time. I need

to go to the bathroom. Carl tilted his

head slightly. You forgot. We can sense

whether the other person is lying. Okay,

I admit it. There is indeed a small

problem and I want to handle it myself

first. Zhao Yuan has no intention of

arguing with Carl. Go ahead, call me if

you need anything. Carl smiled and

turned to find Rico. Zhao Yuan carried

his school bag into the bathroom, looked

at himself in the mirror, and smiled

slightly. He is still himself, only the

world has changed. It's as if he has

been replaced by someone from another

world. Or perhaps he has awakened

memories of a past life. Just then, a

cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded

in his mind. Host's mental state

detected as stable. Soul exchange system

loading. Soul system loading complete.

Congratulations, host. Successful

binding. Congratulations, host. You have

received a binding gift pack. Open it.

Zhao Yuans eyes flashed with

excitement upon seeing the notification.

Ding. Opening the binding gift pack.

received five tier three soul gift

boxes, three tier 2 soul gift boxes, one

tier one soul gift box, and one variable

string ring. Zhao Yuan's eyes lit up

when he saw the prize the system had

offered. Level three soul gift box can

contain a random level three item. Level

two soul gift box can contain one random

level two item. Level one soul gift box

can contain one random level one item.

Variable ring internally isolated into a

highdimensional space. It can store

items. Not bad, Zhao Yuan smiled. The

variable string ring is similar to a

spatial ring with a space of about 100

cubic meters. System activate all. He

didn't hesitate. Open level three soul

gift box. Obtained rapid healing potion.

Asterisk one. Open the level three soul

gift box to obtain an M82S antimaterial

sniper rifle. asterisk one. Open the

level two soul gift box to obtain an

S500 revolver with unlimited ammo. O

asterisk 1. Open the level one soul gift

box and obtain super soldier serum

asterisk 1. Zhao Yuan looked at the

items in the gift box with satisfaction.

These items are all very practical. The

super soldier serum can enhance physical

functions, allowing one to reach the

pinnacle of human potential. He decided

to try the serum tonight. If it worked,

he'd immediately join the mobile force

and farm soul points. Recruiting for the

mobile force is simple. Anyone who has

graduated from high school can join. The

starship force and strategic force, on

the other hand, have much higher

requirements. Zhao Yuan ate something

quick and then headed back to the

teaching building. Today was the day the

results of the senior year graduation

exams would be released. Graduates will

fill out an enlistment application form

based on their grades and decide whether

to join the military or find a job.

Downstairs in the teaching building, it

was bustling with activity as graduates

gathered to check their grades. Rico,

well done. Let's go to the Blue Devils

for a try out together. The Mobile Force

is good, too. Zhao Yuan saw the

following message displayed on the

public chat. Johnny Rico, average score,

35 points. Recommendation one, join the

mobile force. Recommendation two, become

a rugby player. Hey, turn it off. Rico

said somewhat annoyed and quickly turned

off the Zoom function on the public

chat. He came from a wealthy family, but

he didn't like such an embarrassing

situation, especially with his

girlfriend Carmen watching. Zhao Yuan

smiled slightly and stood outside the

crowd. Richard, you truly live up to

your reputation. Johnny Rico, an

extremely wealthy second generation

heir, is a future general in the Federal

Mobile forces. Carmen Ibanitz is his

current girlfriend and will become a

fleet captain in the future. Because of

Carl, Zhao Yuan got along well with

them. Hey buddy, got your trouble sorted

out? Zhao Yuan felt a tap on the

shoulder and a familiar voice rang out.

Let me guess. Is that General Carl

Jenson, the future commander of the

Federal Strategic Forces? Zhao Yuan

smiled, closed his eyes, and stroked his

chin. Yes. Carl raised an eyebrow. Zhao,

your telepathy is getting stronger and

stronger. You can even see the future.

He put his arm around Zhao Yuan's neck

from behind. Kid, I suggest you show me

some respect. You are now the future

head of the Federation, the ruler of the

universe, and the nightmare of the

arachnous insecttoids. Zhao Yuan smiled

and pushed Carl away. He thought to

himself, "This guy is simply a prodigy."

Carl possessed exceptional telepathic

abilities. He was recruited by the

strategic forces in his first year of

high school and joined the Force

directly after graduation. In his middle

age, Carl was able to communicate

telepathically across stars, brainwash

insects, manipulate objects in the void

with his telekinesis, and attack insects

heads. Let's go. It's our turn. Carl

pushed Zho Yuan toward the public chat

screen. There weren't many people around

anymore, and the two quickly checked

their scores. Zhao Yuan achieved

excellent scores in all subjects,

averaging 91 points. Carl achieved

perfect scores in all subjects,

averaging 103 points. Joe, when are you

planning to report to the strategic

forces? We can go together, Carl asked

as they walked, his eyes full of

anticipation. The three branches of the

Federation have different enlistment

standards. Mobile forces physically

healthy. Starship forces, physically

healthy. Starship Academy, excellent

graduation certificate. Strategic forces

possessing telepathic abilities. Even

those with poor grades can join the

strategic forces enjoying high status

and good benefits. No, I'm going to join

the mobile unit. Zhao Yuan patted Carl

on the shoulder. Good luck. I look

forward to the day we fight side by

side. Carl was somewhat surprised.

Mobile forces? Are you serious? Zhao

Yuan calmly replied, "The strategic

forces internship period is too long. I

don't want to waste time. The Zerg

meteors are frequent. War may break out

soon. I want to join the mobile forces,

see the real Zerg, and claim my own

glory. Buddy, when we meet on the

battlefield, remember to salute me. Zhao

Yuan firmly extended his hand, his eyes

gleaming with determination. At 300

p.m., Zhao Yuans last class ended.

After saying goodbye to Carl and Rico,

he went home early. There was a rugby

game in the afternoon, and Rico was the

captain of one of the teams, but Zhao

Yuan was in a hurry to go home to inject

the super soldier serum, so he declined

the invitation to watch the game. He ran

for 20 minutes and returned home. Zhao

Yuan's parents had died in a work

accident long ago, leaving him to

continue his studies in South America.

Begin. Zhao Yuan closed the doors and

windows and took out the super soldier

serum from the variable ring. He took

off his clothes and injected the serum

into the back of his neck. This was

followed by a wave of aches and pains

throughout his body. Zhao Yuan couldn't

help but groan, his body convulsing

violently. The burning sensation of the

heat made him lose consciousness

completely. When Zhao Yuan woke up at

noon the next day, 20 hours had passed.

He felt relaxed and full of energy. The

system panel shows that he has become an

enhanced human with his attributes

greatly improved, especially his brain

function, which has reached 5.5. Zhao

Yuan knew that his body had undergone

tremendous changes. He went to the

living room and began testing his new

abilities. I picked up a 50 kg dumbbell

and lifted it easily, feeling like I

could lift 1,000 kg. On the treadmill,

he ran at a speed of 5.5 meters per

second with a maximum speed of around 25

meters per second. His jumping ability

has also improved, allowing him to

easily surpass world records. While

agility, endurance, and defense are

difficult to test directly, he is

confident that he will excel on the

battlefield. In terms of brain function,

learning ability, and memory are greatly

improved, and telepathy also has great

potential. The next day, Zhao Yuan

bought a new suit and headed to the

academy. Zho here. Carl, Rico, Carmen,

and Dizzy were already waiting there.

Dizzy is a classmate who has a crush on

Rico. Zhao Yuan and she are on good

terms. You guys are up early. Zhao Yuan

walked over and gave a two-finger

salute. You're late. Pearl rolled his

eyes. The ball started at noon, and I

reminded you four times, but you still

missed lunch. Why did no one speak after

the call connected? Only make humming

sounds. Oh, maybe the phone is broken.

Zhao Yuan feigned surprise and turned to

look at Carmen and Dizzy. Ladies, you're

getting more and more beautiful. Would I

have the honor of inviting you to

afternoon tea? My attendance, Carl and

Rico will arrange everything. Carmen and

Dizzy smiled and reached out their

hands, which Yuan greeted with a kiss.

After a little playful banter, the five

of them walked into the school together.

The ball wasn't anything special to Zhao

Yuan. He was just going to get his

graduation certificate and maybe have a

few drinks. After the dance began, the

five separated. Carl went to dance.

Johnny and Carmen went onto the dance

floor and De's followed Johnny. Zhao

Yuan went to the edge of the venue

drinking wine and eating pastries. I

thought young people all like dances.

Suddenly, a calm voice came from behind

me. Zhao Yuan turned around and saw

Professor Zallac. Hello, Professor Zak.

Zhao Yuan greeted him. Gene Zallac lost

his left arm in the war and became a

history tutor. He will be recalled to

the mobile unit in the future and become

a lieutenant. I saw your itinerary. Zach

sat down expressionless. You have

telepathic abilities. Why didn't you

choose the strategic forces? Recently,

the Zerg meteors have been attacking

Earth more and more frequently, almost

every day. I think war is very likely to

be coming. Staying in the rear is not my

goal. I just want to crush the bugs or

be torn apart by them, Zhao Yuan said

calmly. Zerg meteors refer to asteroids.

Giant plasma worms among the Zerg can

fire plasma cannons to strike asteroids

that could potentially collide with

Earth. Zalic touched his mutilated left

arm, and said with a smile, "Smashing

bugs is fine, but being torn apart by

them is too painful." After he finished

speaking, he downed his whiskey in one

gulp. And as he turned to leave, he

said, "Rookie, I hope your bones are as

hard as your mouth. Fight to survive

with all your might, and then you just

leave like this." Zho Yuan was stunned

for a moment, but didn't take it

seriously. Bang! Bang! Zhao Yuan

accurately hit the paper target 50 m

away in the head. "Kid, you're a

genius." Shooting coach Morgan applauded

in praise. In just one week, Zhao Yuan

went from a novice to a crack shot. I'm

lucky to have met such an excellent

coach, Zhao Yuan said with a smile,

handing the pistol to Morgan. A week has

passed since the graduation ball, and

Zhao Yuan has been busy during this

time, finding shooting and combat

coaches to study with, making rapid

progress. This is your last lesson.

It's hard to say how much I can

teach you. Morgan side, you're enlisting

tomorrow, aren't you? You'll definitely

become a squad leader. Hopefully, Zhao

Yuan looked forward to his military

career. His application form had been

reviewed and he received his acceptance

letter from the mobile unit 3 days ago,

but the official registration will have

to be done tomorrow at the recruitment

point in the city center and Rico and

Carmen will go together. Rico and Zhao

Yuan signed up together while Carmen

accompanied them. She was also going to

the starship academy. Carl had already

been taken away by the strategic forces.

After saying goodbye to Morgan, Zhao

Yuan ran home. The next morning, Zhao

Yuan, Rico, and Carmen met at the

recruitment point. "I thought you'd be

late," Rico said, giving Zhao Yuan a

hug. "Rico had no intention of joining

the army, but after arguing with his

parents, he became determined to

enlist." "They're doing this for your

own good," Zho Yuan said, patting Rico

on the shoulder. "I know," Rico sighed.

"I just feel like I'm all grown up now.

What do you think of my suggestion?"

Zhao Yuan asked. Zhao Yuan knew that

Rico's hometown was about to be hit by a

Zerg meteor, and he made this suggestion

to help Rico's parents. I swear, you

really deserve a beating. Rico laughed

and cursed, but in his heart, he began

to acknowledge Zhao Yuan's wisdom. Since

the discovery of the arachnous

insecttoids by humans 10 years ago,

despite the tense situation, no

large-scale conflict has broken out

between the two sides. When Zhao Yuan

and his two companions arrived at the

stamping station, it was already 9:00.

The veteran in front of the stage wore

the rank of corporal on his shoulder.

His face was covered with scars, and his

right arm and legs had been replaced

with mechanical prosthetics. "Do you

really want to do this arduous work?"

the veteran asked casually, implying

that it wasn't too late to back out

unless you had no other choice. "I came

with them," Carmen stepped aside, making

room for Rico. Zhao Yuan handed over the

consent form, looked at the veteran's

prosthetic limbs, and asked softly,

"Where did you lose them?" The veteran

paused for a moment, then touched the

prosthetic arm of his right arm with his

remaining left hand. Uranus, the battle

for Uranus 8 years ago. I traded it for

the lives of 28 bed bugs. Zhao Yuan

nodded. I heard that even the rain there

is liquid diamond. [ __ ] The old

soldier laughed and cursed. There's only

ice there. Those swindlers are just

after money. After saying that, he

handed the two stamped consent forms

back to Zho Yuan. When I get there, I'll

kill 28 bed bugs for you. Zhao Yuan took

the letter of intent and extended his

hand. The veteran put away his smile and

shook Zhao Yuans hand. Kid, not bad

at sniping. Zhao Yuan nodded slightly.

The Zerg's strongest tactic is swarming

Zerg with machine gunners and riflemen

having the lowest survival rates while

snipers are relatively safe. Report to

the bus station within 24 hours. Your ID

card is your ticket. Good luck, the

veteran said, turning to let the next

person pass. After registering, Zho Yuan

and his two companions strolled around

the streets, had a meal, and then went

home. Just minutes after arriving home,

Zhao Yuan received a notification.

Federal District of Milu, Virgo Academy

student Yuan, congratulations on being

accepted into Mars Mars base as a mobile

infantryman. The mobile force will be

the place where you realize your dreams

and achieve legendary status. Please

bring your ID card and report to the

Lima bus station before 6:00 p.m. on

July 10th, 2020. Zhao Yuan smiled and

said, "It's like going to college, but

Mars is not a good place. By the time

Rico reaches middle age, Mars will have

been taken over by insects. Although

Mars will never be as magnificent as it

is today as humanity's first colony, it

now has a population of nearly 1

billion." Just then, my phone vibrated.

It was Rico calling. Joe, I'm going to

Mars. Where are you going? Rico's

excited voice came through the phone.

I'm going to Mars, too, Zhao Yuan

replied lazily, lying on the sofa. Meet

me at the bus station entrance at 9:00

tomorrow morning. You're going to Mars,

too? Rico was so excited he almost

jumped up. Yes, Zhao. I bet our recruit

will be amazing, Rico exclaimed

excitedly. Serving with you will

definitely be an unforgettable

experience. I think so, too. Zhao Yuan

curled his lip. Without his help, Rico's

life as a recruit would probably still

be wonderful. Joe, this is amazing. I

can't wait. I'm going to pack my

suitcase now. I'll pick you up tomorrow.

Rico hung up the phone and Zho Yuan

shook his head and smiled. What a

simpleton. He put down his phone and

began to look forward to tomorrow. The

next day, Zhao Yuan got up early. Now he

only needs to sleep two or three hours a

day and still has plenty of energy.

After breakfast, Zhao Yuan packed his

luggage and prepared to take care of

things at home. He covered the house

with a dustproof film to ensure it

wouldn't become a bug paradise when he

left. He got up at 5:00, but it wasn't

until 7:00 that he was ready. By the

time Rico arrived, he was already done.

"Why so early?" Rico came in carrying a

suitcase. "Joe, we need to get there

early," Rico exclaimed excitedly. "Basic

training starts tomorrow. We can go

early and take the opportunity to learn

about the recruit camp and make some

friends. The two left quickly, Rico

carrying his suitcase with Zhao Yuan

following behind. Why didn't Carmen

come? Zhao Yuan asked. She went to St.

Paul with her parents. Starship Academy

is there, so we have to go there

beforehand, Rico replied. 20 minutes

later, Zhao Yuan and Ru arrived at the

Lima bus station. Although it was only

7:30, the station was already packed

with people. Follow me. Rico easily

cleared a path through the crowded

throng and Zhao Yuan followed with ease.

They quickly completed their

registration and prepared to board a

transport plane to the starship base

from where they would transfer to Mars.

Rico Zhao Yuan. When Zho Yuan was

boarding the computer, he heard a

familiar voice, turned around, and saw

his classmate Allen. Dude, I never

expected to run into you here. Rico

excitedly hugged Alan. The announcement

came over the loudspeaker. Rookies,

prepare for takeoff. 2 minutes from now,

be seated and fasten your seat belts.

Everyone, please remain seated. The

transport plane is ready for takeoff.

This was Zhao Yuan's first time riding

in a transport plane. It looked simple

on the outside, but it could escape

Earth's gravity and moved at an

astonishing speed. As the transport

plane took off, Zhao Yuan felt a jolt,

and a blue light flashed on the bulkhead

before disappearing, and the cabin

returned to calm. The window opened,

revealing a space age glass facade.

Everyone looked out. A Starship base.

The new base is parked to the left of

the transport plane. This massive

Starship base is responsible for

protecting Earth and eliminating

external threats. I think, Rico looked

outside. I might be better suited to

Starship Academy. Based on your

graduation exam score of 35, Zhao Yuan

laughed. Rico exclaimed excitedly. Look

at that starship. It's breathtaking.

Zhao Yuan smiled and shook his head,

understanding Rico's excitement. a man's

romance, guns, mechs, warships, who

isn't drawn to these things. The pilot

was considerate of the new recruits, so

he slowly circled a few times and waited

for two or 3 minutes before flying into

the base's receiving port. Click! With a

soft sound, the base receiver closed and

the broadcast sounded again. "Nbies,

pack your things and disembark." The new

recruits got up one after another, took

their luggage from the overhead

containers, and disembarked in order.

New recruits, please proceed straight

ahead. Take your ID card to the

information center for verification and

board the next transport plane according

to the verification result. After

passing through two secure sealed doors,

everyone finally arrived at the arrival

hall. Next came the inquiries,

directions, boarding, and finally a

transport plane to the starship. After

waiting for more than half an hour,

everyone boarded the starship. Just as

they were about to take a look around,

the pilot stopped them, informing them

that the starship would be setting sail

soon. Shortly after, the pilot announced

that the starship was about to set sail.

Everyone took their seats and the

starship successfully detached from the

new base and headed towards Mars. Inside

the Starship, everyone felt almost no

vibration. Suddenly, the intercom came

on and the pilot announced that the

starship had arrived on Mars. faster

than light speed. Zhao Yuan looked at

the time displayed on the public screen.

The distance between Earth and Mars was

nearly 400 million km, and the Starship

took less than four minutes. "How

boring," Zhao Yuan thought to himself.

His first experience of interstellar

travel had ended so abruptly. "The

Federation's antimatter force field

generators are rarely installed on

starships. It seems they are only found

in the bridge area." "Ha, have we

arrived?" Rico looked bewildered,

clearly still not quite recovered.

Almost there, Zhao Yuan replied softly

as the transport plane began its rapid

descent. A few minutes later, the

transport plane finally landed. The

pilot led the new recruits off the plane

to a training ground. The training

ground was surrounded by high walls with

large space capsules placed at the base

of the walls. Rookies, quiet down. The

pilot pointed south. The largest capsule

is the work hall. Go in to get your

recruit handbook and daily necessities

and find your dormatory. The instructors

will arrive at the dormatory at 8:00

p.m. You are free to do whatever you

want before then. Remember your ID cards

or your access cards. There are 10

recruit camps here. If you haven't been

assigned here, find the guide. After the

driver explained in detail, everyone

began to walk towards the work hall. 10

minutes later, everyone left the work

hall and Rico's face darkened. I clearly

didn't bring any contraband, but they

all came away. He brought two large

suitcases, but in the end, he was left

with only two sets of underwear.

Everything else was confiscated. Zhao

Yuan gloated. Wisdom is humanity's most

precious treasure. He patted his small

suitcase. Why didn't Rico find out what

he could bring? They were assigned to

the third squad of the first recruit

camp. They just needed to find their

dormitories. Zhao Yuan had already

spotted them. The military barracks look

like a tunnel with standard bunk beds,

16 on each side, and bedside tables next

to each other. In the corner of the

dormatory, there are recreational

facilities such as pool tables and chest

tables, which is common in the

dormitories of mobile units. Zhao Yuan

and his two companions arrived at the

dormatory ahead of time. There were only

five or six new recruits inside, none of

whom they knew. Let's go. Let's tidy up

first. Zhao Yuan walked to the beds and

chose a suitable bed according to the

assigned number. Hey Zhao Alan, come

over here. Rico called out as he made

the bed. What's up? Zhao Yuan turned

around and asked. Rico excitedly pointed

to the name plate on the bed. This name

plate is Paul Marshall. It might be the

Paul we know. Zhao Yuan and Ru were high

school classmates and everyone was

excited to be able to spend their

recruit training period with Paul.

Really? Alan ran over excitedly.

Well find out soon enough. Zhao

Yuan replied casually, continuing to

make the bed. After tidying up, Zhao

Yuan lay down on the bed and lit a

cigar. Where did you get a cigar? Rico

and Alan noticed him. He hid them when

we entered the work hall. Zhao Yuan took

two cigars from under his pillow and

handed one to each of them. The cigar

box contains 30 cigars, and one cigar is

automatically replenished each day. Zhao

Yuan smoked three, leaving 34 cigars.

Although smoking is permitted in the

military, new recruits are advised not

to smoke, otherwise they may be

specially targeted by veterans or

instructors. Zho Yuan noticed several

new recruits looking at them, seemingly

wanting cigars. Want some? I only have

three left. You can each have half. Zhao

Yuan smiled and handed over the

remaining cigars. Thanks, bro. A new

recruit named Kevin thanked Zho Yuan and

gave him a fist bump to express his

gratitude. Just call me Zhao. Zhao Yuan

replied with a smile, thinking to

himself that he needed to start building

his social network now. Zhao, this

cigar, it feels strange. Did they add

something to it? Rico suddenly stopped.

Zhao Yuan rolled his eyes. This is a

rare ancient Chinese medicine that can

restore energy and physical strength.

Rico took another puff, feeling

refreshed. The dormatory gradually

quieted down as everyone enjoyed the

peaceful moment with their cigars. Soon

after, more recruits arrived and seeing

everyone smoking cigars, some were

surprised and thought they had gone to

the wrong dormatory. By lunchtime, the

number of people in the dormatory had

gradually increased to 15. Zhao Yuan

became the leader of the small team. The

military camp had mixed gender

dormitories and even shared shower

rooms. Although the arrangement was

selective, the relationships among the

men and women became more harmonious.

After lunch, Zhao Yuan led the new

recruits on a tour of the military camp.

They didn't return to their dormitories

until after dinner. Inside the

dormatory, 30 new recruits had already

gathered. The two extra beds out of the

32 were probably reserved for the

instructors. Around 8:00, there was a

knock on the dormatory door, and the

instructor appeared. Sweethearts, come

here. Instructor Sim entered the

dormatory. The instructor was a burly

white man who was over 1.9 m tall. He

had a strong build, and his muscles were

still clearly visible even in his

military uniform. Salute. Call him sir,

Zhao Yuan whispered to the recruits.

They all stood up and saluted. A little

chaotic, but still quite professional.

From today onwards, I am your

instructor. You can call me Sim, but

during training, you must call me

commander, and during breaks, you must

call me by my name. Understand?

Understood, sir? Everyone responded in

unison. Sim nodded. Meet at training

ground 3 at 7:00 tomorrow morning. After

saying that, he left. The dormatory room

suddenly became lively. [ __ ] this guy

looks tough. Their attitude was pretty

good, wasn't it? It's okay. Ron will

take care of it. Everyone started

discussing instructor Sim with Ron at

the center of the conversation. Leave it

to me. Ron, who was mentioned, clenched

his fist and laughed. If he doesn't know

what's good for him, I'll take him on

one-on-one during training. The

instructor will never refuse a new

recruits challenge. He'll regret it

later. A group of people encouraged Ron,

clearly indicating his high authority in

the class. Zhao Yuan standing to the

side almost burst out laughing. The

instructor was only qualified because of

his comprehensive skills. He couldn't be

easily challenged. Even if Ron was

strong, he was far inferior to the

instructor. Thinking about this, Zhao

Yuan couldn't help but anticipate the

joke that would happen tomorrow. Most of

the new recruits in the dormatory were

willing to follow him, while Ron felt

that he should be the leader of the

class, which made him somewhat unhappy.

A new broom sweeps clean and Sim will

definitely show his authority as an

instructor. Ron is just the right person

to cause trouble. Zhao Yuan thought to

himself, decided to keep a low profile.

He declined Rico and Allen's invitation

to play cards, tidied his bed, and

prepared to rest. At 5:00 the next

morning, Zhao Yuan got up on time,

dressed, and went to the washroom. The

Martian night is longer than the Earth

night, and it was still pitch black at

5:00. After washing up, he returned to

his dormatory to make his bed and then

went for a run around the barracks to

warm up. With his current physical

condition, an hour of running was just

the right amount of warm up and combined

with the training during the day, it

would help him burn some energy so he

could sleep better at night. Ding! New

right now, he only has 100 soul points.

And there are many items he can't afford

yet. Looks like I need to accumulate

more soul points. Zhao Yuan thought to

himself, preparing to continue gathering

resources in anticipation of more

powerful items and functions. Chapter

12. Ron is on the move. Ron is down. Zho

Yuan checked his personal panel and his

attributes and skills were quite good,

especially the telepathy skill, which

finally appeared on the panel. Without

hesitation, he opened all the gift boxes

and obtained some very useful equipment,

including a heavy atomic nuclear energy

flight wing suit and a ZF, one

multi-functional automatic rifle.

Although the rewards from the level

three gift boxes were rather ordinary,

he still put them into his variable

string ring. Sigh. Zhao Yuan side. Only

the mission function was unlocked. There

might not be many benefits after that,

but he knew in his heart that he had

already obtained enough. After an hour

and a half of warm-up, Zho Yuan went to

the restaurant for breakfast and then

headed to training ground number three.

The new recruits had assembled early and

there were already more than 20 people

on the training ground. None of them

were late. Sim arrived on time and

immediately began reprimanding the new

recruits in a stern tone upon entering

the arena. Damn it, you bunch of idiots.

You can't even stand at attention. He

had the new recruits line up quickly

with Zhao Yuan standing in the first

row, his height of 1.85 m placing him

right in the center of the line. Stand

like this from now on. Sim looked at the

neat line with satisfaction, then began

to walk around, applying pressure. Many

of you are just going through the

motions of military service, but you are

not strong enough. After saying that,

Sim walked to the front of the line with

a smile and asked if there were any

strong individuals among them. I think I

am. Ron's voice rang out. The new

recruits all looked at Ron, hoping he

could challenge the instructor. Good

brother, go quickly. Zhao Yuan silently

cheered for Ron in his heart. Ron

charged towards Sim, ready to confront

the instructor. However, Sim easily

reached out and stopped Ron's attack,

snapping Ron's arm in an instant. God,

Jesus. The surrounding recruits cried

out in alarm and many dared not look any

longer. Wait, good. That's it. Sim

mocked while Zhao Yuan smiled as he

watched Ron lying on the ground

groaning. He accepted my cigarette but

didn't give me any face. This is what

happens. Zhao Yuan thought to himself,

feeling very satisfied. Chapter 13 draw

with the instructor. Sim smiled with

satisfaction at the recruits reactions,

clapped his hands, and asked Ron, "Kid,

are you all right?" I I'm fine, sir. Ron

clutched his fractured right hand,

enduring the excruciating pain and

managed to reply. However, it seems my

arm is broken, sir. It's definitely

broken. I'll give you half an hour off.

Sim nodded and beckoned two medics to

come and carry Ron away. A fracture

wasn't considered a serious injury in

this era. It would heal in just 10

minutes. Sim turned to the recruits and

announced loudly, "Who's next?" The line

fell silent. Ron, the strongest in class

3, had been defeated by Sim in a single

move, losing his arm in the process.

Most people dared not challenge Sim and

lowered their heads. After a few

seconds, Zhao Yuan finally spoke. I want

to try, sir, kid. You've proven my class

isn't all awards. Sim smiled slightly.

Come on. Zhao Yuan stepped out of the

queue and stood 3 m away from Sim. A

professional. Sims eyes narrowed, his

smile faded, and he looked extremely

serious. He noticed Zhao Yuans

physique. Not particularly tall, but

very lean and agile, clearly possessing

considerable fighting ability. Sim

gestured, "Let me see what you're

capable of." Zhao Yuan suddenly stroed

towards Sim. And although he wasn't

going all out, he still pounced on him

at an astonishing speed. Bang. Although

Sim was unexpectedly suppressed, he

still managed to block Zhao Yuan's fist

with his left arm and counterattack with

his leg, relying on his rich experience.

Zhao Yuan reacted quickly, striking Sims

foot with his left knee and knocking him

back. The recruits stared wideeyed.

Although they were not strong enough,

they had good eyesight and quickly

realized that Zho Yuan had the upper

hand. Damn it, I was careless. Sim

cursed inwardly, realizing he had been

underestimated. Zhao Yuan's strength and

speed were superior, and even his

physical attributes were better. He had

to change his tactics. After a few

seconds of eye contact, the two attacked

again. This time, Sim didn't confront

Zhao Yuan headon, but quickly changed

tactics, using more flexible SA

techniques to launch attacks around Zhao

Yuan. I should change my tactics, too.

Zhao Yuan smiled and moved closer,

giving Sim a chance to attack. Zhao Yuan

knew in his heart that he couldn't win

this match. He had to control the pace,

not let Sim lose face, and at the same

time demonstrate his own strength. The

two engaged in fierce combat in the

ensuing duel. Although Zhao Yuan

retreated several times, his fighting

style was extremely wild and his combat

movements were incredibly imposing.

Despite being slightly at a

disadvantage, he maintained a strong

momentum. "Bang!" Sim finally gained the

upper hand, kicking Zhao Yuan, who

staggered backward and finally sat on

the ground. "Shit! Zhao almost won," the

recruits exclaimed in surprise. "There's

nothing we can do. Sim is the instructor

after all. He can train us with ease,"

someone said helplessly. Zhao is much

better than Ron. Ron is just a tall

weakling. The recruits all agreed that

Zhao Yuans performance was far

superior to Ron's. Are you all right?

Sim walked over in a good mood and

reached out to help Zhao Yuan up. I'm

fine, sir. Zhao Yuan wiped the dust off

his clothes and replied with a smile.

Your fighting skills are very

impressive. I hope to learn from you

again next time. No problem. Get back to

your unit. Sim nodded in satisfaction,

then looked at the recruit line. Who's

next? The new recruits all shrank back

and not one of them dared to stand up

again. Chapter 14. Dizzy joins. Is no

one willing to step forward? Sims gaze

sharpened, his tone turning stern as he

quickly put pressure on the recruits.

Recruit Flores reporting for duty. Sir.

A female soldier walked into the

training field carrying a bag. Dizzy.

Rico's expression changed immediately

when he saw her. He remembered that D

had told him to join the tennis team,

but now she was in the army. Zhao Yuan

already knew that Dizzy would come and

win at her. Here's the document, sir.

De's handed over the transfer

application. Sim didn't even look at it

and coldly asked. Tell me your reason.

Dy has good physical talent and above

average intelligence. He previously

worked part-time at a telecommunications

company and his transfer application was

approved. I've heard that the best

instructors are here, sir. These words

were full of flattery. Sims lips curled

into a smirk, his expression suddenly

turning serious. He walked up to her and

coldly demanded. "Tell me, what makes

you qualified to join the best recruit

camp?" Dizzy didn't answer, but took two

steps back and assumed a fighting

stance. "Come on, sweetheart," Sim said

casually. "Sweetheart." Dizzy frowned,

his anger rising, and he swung his fist

at Sim. Sim easily dodged and locked her

right hand. But unexpectedly, De's body

was extremely flexible, and she punched

Sim in the face with her left fist. Sim

sneered, swept her to the ground with a

leg sweep, and pressed his knee against

her neck. "Rookie, get in the last row."

Sim only stopped when D rolled his eyes.

With a backpack and a transfer

application, Dizzy joined the queue with

a smile. Seeing that Ruer's expression

was not happy, Zhao Yuan couldn't help

but think, "You don't want a woman who

would risk her life for you?" For hours

later, the morning training ended. Sim

did not do any high-intensity training.

It mainly consisted of basic exercises

such as standing in formation and

running in formation. "Fuck, I really

want to kill Sim." The recruits

complained about Sims training. "Don't

mess with him. He's not someone to be

trifled with." Kevin responded with a

cold laugh, his words carrying a hint of

respect when he mentioned Zhao Yuan. Ron

retorted, "Sim is a bastard. He hit me

with a stick more than 10 times this

morning." Zhao Yuan patted Ron on the

shoulder and advised, "Ron is too

direct, but his character deserves

respect. We need to unite to fight

against Sim." Ron was moved by Zhao

Yuans words. His expression

softened, and he nodded. "Believe me,

Ron, well be friends, comrades."

Zhao Yuan chuckled inwardly and began

planning what to do next. Chapter 15.

The boss of class 3, Zhao. Looking at

Zho Yuans warm smile, Ron suddenly

felt ashamed and a sense of guilt rose

in his heart. He felt like a traitor.

When he entered the dormatory, Zhao Yuan

was the first person to greet him,

warmly offering him cigarettes and

introducing him to the other dormatory

members. However, later because Zhao

Yuan was popular in the dormatory, Ron

became jealous, feeling that Zhao Yuan

was forming clicks. Looking back now,

Ron feels he didn't deserve it. He

forgot the most basic sense of loyalty.

I understand. It's okay. Zhao Yuan

patted Ron on the back, then lightly

punched his own heart. Guys, stop

doawling. We'll have to wait in line if

we're late. Okay, let's go. Everyone

agreed, and they walked around Zhao Yuan

towards the restaurant. After the little

incident, the recruits felt that Zhao

Yuan was a person who could make

friends, and they respected him even

more. The new recruits in the third

platoon eat a little late, but the

canteen is large enough to comfortably

accommodate hundreds of people at the

same time. [ __ ] it's this awful stuff

again. I bet the chef is Indian. The

queue was filled with complaints. The

food in the recruit camp was terrible.

The dishes were like Play-Doh with an

awful texture. Vegetables, beef, and

corn were almost all mashed up. and they

didn't even taste very good. Zhao Yuan

didn't care too much. After all, he had

prepared in advance, having prepared

cigarettes, alcohol, and good food

before enlisting and hiding them in his

ring. He could only enjoy them in

private since such things couldn't be

made public. Joe over here. After Zho

Yuan got his food, Rico had already

found a table with Paul and Allan

sitting next to him, which looked like a

table from the Virgo Academy. Rich kid,

can you even eat this? Zhao Yuan asked

jokingly as he sat down. "This is

nothing," Rico shrugged, showing off.

"I'm an athlete. My nutrition meals are

much worse than this. It's normal that

you don't know. After all, not everyone

can join the school team and receive an

invitation from a professional team in

advance. By the way, Zhao, what's the

deal with your fighting skills?" Paul

and Allan were also curious and looked

at Joe Yuan. Of course, it's the result

of hard work. Zhao Yuan casually made up

an excuse. I joined the shooting and

fighting club in my first year of high

school, giving me a four-year head start

over you guys. Boys, what are you

talking about? Suddenly, De's voice

came. We were talking about what

happened this morning. Rico turned

around, his smile fading. If you had

come 5 minutes earlier, you would have

seen me and Sim fight. Zhao Yuan made a

fist and chin resting gesture. Maggie

told me, "I didn't expect you to be so

amazing. Buddy, you got to grab this

opportunity. All the girls in your class

are interested, especially Maggie. She's

planning to sneak into your bed tonight.

Rico said dismissively. Is this spot

empty? Then he gave it a prefuncter

response. De's looked a little

disappointed and turned to Rico. This

position is Kevins. Rico didn't

look up, answering calmly, and Paul and

Allan stopped bothering him. Zhao Yuan,

however, was drawn to what Dizzy had

said. Maggie was coming to his bed.

Maggie was a girl who was no more than

1.7 meters tall and weighed nearly 150

lbs. Zhao Yuan couldn't help but

shudder, thinking that he would have to

be careful tonight. Kevin Dizzy turned

around and saw Kevin sitting at the next

table, realizing that Rico's words were

not very reliable. Rico, what's wrong?

Dizzy asked, taking a deep breath. Rico

looked at her, his voice a little

impatient. I signed up for the army. You

signed up, too? And now you've

transferred to my class and you're

asking me what's wrong. Rico, Dizzy

wanted to explain but didn't say it

aloud. After all, Rico was right. She

put pressure on him, but if he didn't

fight for it, nothing would be possible.

After a moment of silence, Dizzy picked

up his tray and left, looking dejected.

Rico, what is love? Zhao Yuan asked,

looking at Reich. Rico paused for a

moment, then nodded. I can give up

everything for Carmen. The answer is

clear. She likes you, even loves you,

Zhao Yuan said casually. She gave up her

chance as a professional athlete to join

the army with you. Do you think her

parents will support her? Do you think

infantry has a better future than

professional athletes? Zhao Yuan's tone

gradually became serious. Do you think

she can survive to the end on the

battlefield? Chapter 16. Phase 2 of

training is about to begin. Is no one

willing to step forward? Sim asked the

new recruits, his tone growing

increasingly stern. Recruit Flores

reporting for duty. Sir De's walked into

the training field carrying his

backpack. Dizzy. Rico was stunned. He

remembered that she had said she wanted

to join the tennis team, but now she was

in the army. Zhao Yuan knew that Dits

would come and winked at her. De's

handed over his transfer application,

and Sim coldly inquired about the

reason. She said she'd heard there were

the best instructors here. Sim raised an

eyebrow and asked her what made her

qualified to join. Dizzy didn't answer,

but assumed a fighting stance. Come on,

sweetheart. Sim said casually, ready to

accept the challenge. Sweetheart, Dizzy

angrily threw a punch, but Sim easily

dodged and subdued her. She retaliated

with her left fist, but Sim ignored her,

kicked her to the ground, pressed his

knee into her neck, and ordered her to

stand in the last row. Dez was forced to

accept, and with a backpack and

application form, he joined the queue

with a smile. Zhao Yuan noticed that

Rueu was unhappy and thought to himself,

"You don't want a woman who's willing to

risk her life for you." After lunch

break, training continued. "Today's

training was basically an opening

ceremony, mainly consisting of drills

and basic exercises. Sim didn't train

much. Everyone was tired, but they knew

this was just the beginning. The next

day, Sim increased the intensity. Any

slight imperfection in standing in

formation or endurance running would

result in beatings and many recruits

were left with injuries. After half a

month of training, the number of new

recruits in the third platoon decreased

from 31 to 22. After the training

session, everyone sat together to

discuss the upcoming second phase of

training. We'll get our guns tomorrow.

The new recruits were excited and

eagerly awaited the start of the second

phase. Joe, what branch of the military

do you want to be? Ron asked. Machine

gunner. Zhao Yuan replied. The Arajini

Zerg are adept at swarm tactics and

machine guns are suitable for dealing

with them. What about the pistol? Rico

asked. The most powerful, Zhao Yuan

explained. In an emergency, a pistol can

be a life-saving trump card. The new

recruits nodded in agreement,

understanding the importance of choosing

their branch of service. Zhao Yuans

analysis made everyone realize that

choosing the right weapons and troop

types can greatly increase the chances

of survival. Chapter 17. class monitor.

The next day, the new recruits of the

third platoon got up very early.

Although the assembly time was 7:00,

they arrived at training ground number

three at 6:30. Not only class 3, but all

the other classes were in the same

situation. The 10 recruit classes at the

base were waiting for their instructors

to arrive. Today is the day the new

recruits receive their weapons, and

everyone is looking forward to it,

including Zhao Yuan. After all, these

are free weapons, so they can practice

their marksmanship and get a feel for

the game, and they can save durability

when they go to the battlefield in the

future. Although humanity has entered

the interstellar age, it still uses

gunpowder firearms for a simple reason.

The carropase of the Aerogenian

secttoids has extremely strong

absorption and resistance to energy

weapons. Energy weapons are expensive

and not yet fully mature, making

gunpowder weapons a more suitable choice

for killing insects. Sim finally

appeared coldly waving his hand. Shut up

and come with me. After saying that, he

stroed towards the gate of the recruit

camp. Go. The recruits quickly formed

three columns and followed closely

behind. Mars base is the first military

base established by humans on Mars, and

it is also the largest one to date. The

arms depot is located in the center of

the base. It takes recruits 10 minutes

by car to get there. Sim got off the bus

first to inquire while Zho Yuan and the

other recruits waited on the bus. A few

minutes later, everyone got off the bus

and split into two groups to begin

registration. Zho Yuan wasn't in a hurry

and lined up last. He handed over his ID

card and announced the weapon

combination he had prepared beforehand.

Saw S8 S500 cookri light machine gun,

large revolver, hooktype nepoese

cookery, a newbie for killing insects.

The registar complained. This

combination is usually chosen by new

recruits when they feel they can wreak

havoc in combat. I want to be a machine

gunner. Zhao Yuan shrugged, not arguing

further. Weapon allocations can be

changed upon request, and the decision

on which weapon to choose for combat

will only be made after the basic

training period ends. After receiving

his weapons, Zhao Yuan discovered that

the new recruits privileges were indeed

limited. They weren't issued

sophisticated equipment such as tactical

lights, noise reducers, or individual

radios. Just as Zhao Yuan was about to

go back, Ron ran over, carrying an S500

revolver. Zhao, my magazine is broken.

Zhao Yuan helplessly stretched out his

hand. Press and hold this button first,

then put it back. Ron hugged him

excitedly. You're a genius. You're

really something else. Zhao Yuan shook

his head and sighed. On the way back to

the recruit camp, Sim stood up holding a

tablet and said, "Rookies, your second

phase of training has begun. Firearms

tactics and physical combat are

different. You can't train separately

anymore." Next, Sim announced that the

recruits would be divided into three

squads and appointed squad leaders and

squad leaders. Zhao, you are the squad

leader and squad leader of squad 1.

Rico, you are squad leader of squad 2.

Acce, you are squad leader of squad 3.

Chapter 18. live fire shooting. Sim

walked over to J1, patted him on the

shoulder, and then encouraged Rico and

Ace. Ace Levy in turn. Ace's name comes

from the day his father lost gambling.

And ACE stands for Ace. Joe, well done,

Sim said with a smile. Rico, you

defended the honor of our football

superstar duo. The new recruits came

over to congratulate him. Zhao Yuan's

grades had always been first in the

class, Rua second, and Lao a third.

These three were undoubtedly the class

leader and squad leader. However, Sim

coldly reminded him, "The class monitor

and squad leader are not fixed

positions. In my class, the positions

belong only to the strongest. Whoever

can defeat them can take their place."

He added, "Starting today, the weakest

will enjoy preferential treatment, and

you don't want to know what that is."

The new recruits were a little nervous

and began to worry that they would be

the weakest and suffer preferential

treatment from Sim. Back at recruit camp

1, Sim gave the recruits a 10-minute

break to change their gear. During this

time, he went to the work hall and had

an assistant bring over a truckload of

folding tables, preparing to begin

firearms disassembly and assembly

training. The new recruits were thrilled

to receive their new gear. Although some

had some experience with firearms

before, the equipment of the mobile unit

was state-of-the-art, something ordinary

clubs simply couldn't access. All right,

stop grinning. Sim gestured for everyone

to stand at the table. You all need to

understand the weapons you have. Today,

I'll teach you how to disassemble,

maintain, and assemble firearms. The

disassembly and assembly of firearms

were not complicated, and the recruits

quickly grasped the essentials. Although

Zhao Yuan intentionally slowed down, he

still disassembled them extremely

quickly, even impressing the two

corporals. "This kid has talent," the

two corporals praised. Sim was also very

satisfied, believing that Zhao Yuan had

brought him honor. The disassembly and

assembly training continued until 9:00.

Sim waved for everyone to stop and asked

David, "Is everything ready over there?"

"It's done." David nodded. Sim smiled

and said, "Put the gear on your back and

we'll head to the live ammunition area

for some live fire exercises." "Yes."

The recruits responded excitedly. "We're

going to shoot." However, Sims face

darkened and he walked up to Clancy and

kicked him to the ground. "Are you an

idiot?" Sim roared. Didn't it say in the

recruit handbook? Unless it's an

exercise, never point your gun at your

own men. The surrounding recruits were

startled, and quickly became quiet. Sim

crouched down, grabbed Clancy by the

collar, and said sternly, "If anyone

else does this, I'll break their hand."

"Understand? Understood?" The recruits

responded in unison, adjusting their

guns to point at the ground. "Very good.

Let's go." Sim nodded in satisfaction

and led the team to the main gate of the

recruit camp. Every time Sim warns a

student, he always encounters a not so

bright student, making his work go very

smoothly. Chapter 19. The sharpshooter

first glimpse of his skill. Upon

arriving at the live fire training area,

the recruits excitement subsided

slightly. Sims live fire shooting was

simply to let them experience the

feeling of firing a gun. Each riflemen

received only one magazine with 50

rounds. The machine gunners fared even

worse, receiving only a makeshift

ammunition belt with 100 rounds, and

each pistol man received 10 rounds.

"Sir, there aren't enough bullets," the

new recruits complained. "Shut up, all

of you," Sim roared, then took a rifle

from his assistant. "You've never fired

live ammunition before. Am I crazy to

give you more bullets, or are you

crazy?" "Come on, let me demonstrate for

you first." Sim didn't waste any words,

walked to the firing position, and

demonstrated the firing procedure to the

recruits, explaining in detail how to

use the safety button and mode button.

The new recruits listened attentively,

and Sims concise words were very helpful

to them. Do you understand? Sim asked.

Understood, sir. The recruits responded

in unison. Very good. Lead the team. Sim

gestured to the two assistant

instructors to lead the recruits into

groups and begin shooting training. Zhao

Yuan wasn't in a hurry to go on stage

and was placed last. He knew Sim did

this to observe whether there were any

shooting talents in the class. Once the

live fire shooting began, the firing

range became extremely noisy. Most of

the new recruits performed poorly. Their

shots on the 100 meter target barely hit

the bullseye, and some even missed the

target entirely. "Shit, I'm sure there's

something wrong with this gun." A

recruit complained after being pulled

away. Time ticked by and finally it was

Zhao Yuan's turn. Everyone's attention

was now focused on him. Joe, it's up to

you. They all had high hopes, wishing

Zho Yuan a good performance, but also

hoping he wouldn't perform too well lest

the gap between them become too large.

We can begin, David waved, and Zho Yuan

laid down to prepare to fire. Zhao Yuan

initially chose single fire mode, but

after a few shots, he switched to fully

automatic mode. Bang! Every bullet hit

the bullseye precisely. Even with rapid

fire, the score remained consistent with

the worst score still being a five ring.

Zhao Yuan's performance increasingly

astonished the crowd. His accuracy and

consistency left everyone speechless.

Sim was also full of anticipation. He

picked up his binoculars and looked at

the target 100 meters away. He saw that

after Zhao Yuan fired a 100 bullets, a

hole had been punched in the bullseye.

Sim, I don't think we have anything left

to teach him. Stusy and David, who were

standing on either side of Sim, said in

a low voice. Besides all this nonsense,

is there anything else you want to say?

Sim rolled his eyes. He had already

noticed Zho Yuan's unusual behavior.

After training, Zhao Yuan was surrounded

by the new recruits, who gave him high

fives and congratulated him, their eyes

full of admiration. All right, get back

to where you're supposed to stand. Sim

shouted, and everyone returned to their

lines. Kid, have you practiced before?

Sim walked up to Zhao Yuan and asked in

a low voice. Yes, sir. Zhao Yuan said

without any modesty. I'm a member of the

shooting club and my scores even meet

the military standards. Records aren't

made by talking. Sim nodded. I'll

upgrade your privileges. Come see me

after dinner. Yes, sir. Zhao Yuan nodded

secretly pleased. Sim was clearly

preparing to give him special treatment.

Back in the queue, Zhao Yuan knew that

Sim had taken a great interest in him,

which meant more opportunities for him.

Chapter 20. It's become a fragrant

steamed bun. 5 minutes later, Sim led

the third platoon of recruits back to

the basic training field. The recruits

began to complain, especially those who

had chosen machine guns. They needed to

carry weapons during physical training,

which was the second phase of training.

The training that day was extremely

intense, and everyone was almost

completely exhausted. By evening, more

than a dozen of the 22 new recruits were

collapsed on their beds, unable to even

eat. Zhao, you're a monster. Old A's bed

was right across from Zho Yuanss. He saw

Zhao Yuan preparing to take a shower

instead of resting and complained

helplessly. Zhao Yuan had nothing to

say. After all, he had displayed

extraordinary physical fitness and

marksmanship today, and Old A was

completely convinced. That's the benefit

of getting used to it beforehand. Zho

Yuan shrugged and smiled. Before

enlisting, I had a lot of training

experience, and the instructors were all

retired veterans. Then he said goodbye

to everyone, went to take a shower and

prepared dinner and also went to get

some goodies from his cousin. After a

quick shower and dinner, Zhao Yuan went

to the live fire training area. Sim was

already waiting there, as were David and

Stussy. Zhao Yuan noticed that the

instructors from the other recruit

platoon were also chatting nearby. Hey,

our all-around talent is here. David

greeted Zho Yuan with a smile. Sir. Zhao

Yuan nodded and saluted, recognizing the

familiar face. Sim smiled and gestured

for Zhao Yuan to try out the weapons.

Take a look at these guns. How many can

you handle? There were many firearms on

the table, mostly rifles and sniper

rifles with only two or three machine

guns. Let me see what you're capable of.

Sim gestured for Zhao Yuan to begin

firing. Zhao Yuan didn't disappoint the

audience. He first chose the A8 sniper

rifle, a popular choice because it could

be converted into a rifle simply by

changing three modules. He fired a shot,

hitting a human-shaped target a

kilometer away and creating a hole in

it. The next two shots hit the lower

left and lower right of the first hole,

respectively, forming a shape. A

generous gift of crabs. Damn it,

something's wrong with this kid. The

instructors looked at Zho Yuan's score

in astonishment, simply unable to

believe that he could achieve such

accuracy. The A8 has a maximum range of

2,000 m. But Zhao Yuan's shooting has

broken through the conventional limits,

and even the instructors cannot do

better than him. Zhao Yuan didn't stop

there. He then tried rifles, pistols,

machine guns, and even a handheld

gatling gun. His scores were almost

perfect, demonstrating outstanding

performance. This kid, I want him.

Richard, the instructor from class 1,

walked towards Zhao Yuan with a smile,

his eyes gleaming with desire. You can

join the special operations team

directly. Richard is the vice captain

and his squad is responsible for special

missions and Zho Yuan is clearly a good

fit for the role. Sim saw through

Richard's intentions, frowned, and

shoved him aside. Get out of my way.

Sim, relax. We just want to encourage

the new recruits. Second platoon

instructor Joe chuckled, pushing past

Sim. I bet you know about the mechanized

unit. They even have missiles there.

Zhao Yuan felt somewhat uncomfortable,

suddenly surrounded by so many

instructors and seemed at a loss for

what to do. He knew that his performance

had attracted attention. He had only

just demonstrated his abilities, and

they had already taken notice. [ __ ] A

staff member from the arms department

suddenly cursed, breaking the tense

atmosphere. Has the bug gone mad? The

weapons we brought in tonight have to be

taken back after this? The instructors

around laughed him and Zho Yuan secretly

breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that

he had become the focus of attention

among the new recruits. Chapter 21 big

event. What's going on? Sim and the

others rushed over as soon as they saw

that something was wrong. The two staff

members from the arms department held

tablets, their faces grave. Zhao Yuan

followed, but since there were only two

tablets, he couldn't get one and could

only hear some of the sounds. We have

witnessed an unprecedented tragedy with

the entire city reduced to ruins and the

death toll exceeding 8 million. So

that's what happened. Zhao Yuan

understood what had occurred as soon as

he heard the first sentence. The plasma

cannon fired by the plasma worm struck a

passing asteroid, altering its

trajectory. The debris ultimately

crashed into Earth, destroying Buenus

Aries. That was Rico's hometown. Damn

bed bugs. [ __ ] What are those cowards

in the Starfleet doing? Guys, I think we

should head back to the office building.

After reading the news, Sim and the

other instructors were furious. The fact

that a Zerg meteor could attack Earth

clearly indicated a problem with the

defenses at the nut base. Kid, you can

go back by yourself. Sim left these

simple words and led the other

instructors away hurriedly, heading

towards the central building of the Mars

base. Guys, I'm off, too. Zhao Yuan said

goodbye to the staff and quickly

returned to the recruit camp. He knew

that Rico's home was in Buenus Aries. He

had suggested that Rico persuaded his

parents to go on a trip. And

fortunately, they did, but he didn't

know if they had returned home yet. Back

in the dormatory, the atmosphere was

extremely tense. All the new recruits

were gathered around the public screen,

watching live news about Buenus Aries

and complaining as they watched. "Rico,

where are Jose and Mary?" Zho Yuan asked

hurriedly. "Thanks, buddy." Rico

excitedly gave Zhao Yuan a hug. Seeing

Rico's reaction, Zho Yuan breathed a

sigh of relief. Rico's parents were

probably still traveling. Have you

contacted them? Zhao Yuan pressed. Yes,

Rico exclaimed excitedly. I was

terrified. Then the broadcast said that

the network at the recruit camp would be

open tonight, so I called immediately.

They came after they found out I was on

Mars and are now in the lifeguard behind

the base. They said they'd be coming to

see us in a couple of days. And if

there's anything you'd like to eat,

you'd better call now, Rico added. It's

good that you're all right. Zhao Yuan

finally felt relieved and went back to

bed. Zhao, thank you so much this time.

You saved their lives. Rico excitedly

pulled out a pack of cigarettes, lit

one, and said, "I can't imagine what I

would have done with today's news if I

hadn't listened to you. You saved them

yourself. I only offered a suggestion,"

Zhao Yuan replied casually. "If you

insist on thanking me, then stop eyeing

the squad leader position. I heard

you're planning to team up with old A to

take me down. That won't do. Rico raised

an eyebrow and punched X Yuan in the

stomach. The class monitor is mine. Just

you wait. TCH. Stupid Johnny. Rico. Zhao

Yuan joked. Didn't you realize I was

joking? Even if you and Old A were

together, you wouldn't be a match for

me. Damn it. The class monitor is

getting replaced tomorrow. Rico shouted

angrily. After the minor skirmish, Rico

went back to check the news. While Zhao

Yuan opened the public screen on his

bedside table to learn more about the

attack on Earth. The Federation's

official account states that the

asteroid was discovered at the N base,

but it was too large to be destroyed in

one go. The remaining debris caused the

disaster. Zho Yuan was skeptical. After

all, the N base was Earth's protective

fortress with extremely strong combat

capabilities. Although the official

explanation was simple, the asteroid was

moving very fast. And the fact that such

a powerful defensive force as the N base

couldn't stop, it clearly raised many

questions. If that asteroid truly

harbored plasma or if it was a mistake

by the interstellar fleet, then the

situation would be complicated. In any

case, Zhao Yuan understood that this

event had little to do with his current

status. After all, he was still just a

recruit. Sigh. Zhao Yuan side then

checked his personal panel. Host Zhao

two weeks, his attributes have improved,

especially his skills and mental

abilities. Although his title has also

been upgraded, it hasn't been of much

practical use. He knew that soon his

basic training would be over, at which

point he would have to choose which unit

to join. Some units killed insects

everyday, while others had hardly ever

seen insects. Perhaps we should ask him

to see which units are on more dangerous

missions. Chapter 22. The beginning of

the war. That evening at 900 p.m., the

Federation announced its follow-up

action plan to the destruction of Buenus

Aries. A direct counterattack against

the Arajini Zerg, followed by an attack

on the Zerg home world of Krennesu to

completely annihilate the Zerg. However,

whether this plan could be implemented

remained uncertain, Krenisu is extremely

far from Earth with countless insecttoid

planets in between. Plasma cannons are

densely packed like a fishing net, and

the interstellar fleet must clear out

the insecttoid planets before it can

approach the insecttoid home world. The

next day, training continued, but due to

the events in Buenus Aries, the training

curriculum at the recruit camp was

adjusted. Physical training decreased

while live fire training increased and

everyone realized that war might be

imminent. Andy, gun barrels forward, no

turning back with the gun barrels on.

Akil, hold your gun steady. Zhao Yuan,

holding a pointer, stood beside the

laser simulation training field, urging

the new recruits on. As the squad

leader, Zhao Yuan's workload increased

significantly. He was exempted from most

of the basic training and became Sims

assistant instructor, responsible for

supervising the new recruits training.

He was no stranger to the training

content. In fact, he learned a lot of

tactical details from observing. Rico is

the person he's focusing on monitoring

because he made a wrong decision in the

original storyline leading to the

accidental death of a recruit. Zhao Yuan

is determined to prevent such a tragedy

from happening again. Kid, I heard

you're really interested in killing

insects. Sim asked Zhao Yuan as he

walked over after the simulation ended.

Yes, sir. Zhao Yuan replied firmly. I

only want to smash the bugs headon or be

torn to pieces by them. Sim smiled, a

rare sight, and looked up to the west.

That's what I used to think too. So I

went to Tharsus Fortress. Tharsus

Fortress? Zhao Yuan paused for a moment

trying to recall. Tharsus is a super

massive extinct volcano on Mars. The

crater has been developed into the

Tharsus Fortress. It is surrounded by

yellow plateaus with a harsh environment

and almost no vegetation. Sir, is there

an insect infestation there? Zhao Yuan

asked. Every single day, Sims sighed,

seemingly recalling the past. It's not a

good place, but every year there are

hot-blooded rookies who want to go. The

bugs are highly sensitive to heat and

can detect any living person within a

kilometer, not even in a space suit.

Moreover, insects are very sensitive to

energy, electromagnetic waves, and

radiation can excite them even more,

Zhao Yuan added. Sims eyes gleamed. Do

you know what's inside Tharsus Fortress?

Two ecological transformation towers, a

climate balance tower, and the only

large communication window on Mars. Zhao

Yuan suddenly realized that Tharsus'

Fortress was not only the front line on

Mars, but also responsible for guarding

the four life towers and attracting the

insect swarm. He made up his mind to go

there. "Sir, can you do me a favor?"

Zhao Yuan asked with a confident smile.

"What is it?" Sim asked with a smile.

"Send me to Tharsus Fortress." Zhao Yuan

said directly. "Okay." Sim agreed. At

night, Zhao Yuan checked information

about the Tharsus Fortress in bed. The

photos showed four life towers standing

in the crater surrounded by steel

structures in a desolate landscape. Zhao

Yuan was thrilled to be able to fight

against insects in such a place was a

man's choice. He decided that no matter

what, Tharsus Fortress was his target.

Although basic training lasts only a

month, the future of each recruit is

uncertain. Most recruits undergo

extensive training, but only a few have

the opportunity to go directly to the

battlefield. Frontline bases like

Tharsus Fortress prioritize veterans

when replenishing their ranks, leaving

recruits with virtually no chance. Go to

sleep.h Yuan drifted off to sleep with

anticipation, waiting for the next day

to arrive. Chapter 23. The recruitment

training period is over. Before he knew

it, the last day of his recruit training

period had arrived. Zho Yuan had had a

very easy time during this period with

almost nothing to do except assist Sim.

Sims long-awaited joint training

ultimately failed to take place because

the instructors from the other classes

were well aware of Zhao Yuan's abilities

and would not allow the competition to

occur. No one wanted to lose. Coupled

with the devastation in Buenus Aries,

the Federation launched its offensive

against the Zerg and all the instructors

were busy training new recruits, leaving

no time to organize a competition. It's

worth mentioning that the third platoon

has lost four more men, leaving only 18

new recruits. These men weren't

eliminated, but rather chose to leave.

They were afraid of war and gave up

after hearing rumors of it. Although no

one looks down on them, their original

purpose in joining the mobile unit was

simply to make a living. Nevertheless,

the 18 recruits who remained steadfast,

knowing they would receive their

assignments the next day and become true

mobile infantry. On the last day of

basic training, everyone returned to

their dormitories, and the atmosphere

was somewhat somber. Over the past

month, whether they were enemies or

friends, they had all forged deep bonds

of camaraderie during training. And now

that they were about to part ways, it

was inevitable that they felt reluctant

to leave. Normally, Zho Yuan would step

in to liven things up during these

awkward silences. But today, he didn't

know what to say. After all, the time

and opportunity to meet again after

partying were uncertain, and some people

might never see each other again in this

lifetime. Two people come and help. Sims

voice broke the silence. Zhao Yuan stood

up and walked over with Ron and Kevin.

They saw Sim driving a convertible

military truck with eight large boxes in

the trunk marked as supply boxes rather

than weapon boxes. "The restaurant is

offering free drinks today," Sim said

with a smile. "Let's get started." Zhao

Yuan instructed the two men to unload

the goods, and the other recruits also

began to move them. "Everyone got

excited when Sims said they could drink.

Drinking in the army is a big deal. Only

new recruits get this privilege as a

celebration of their transition from

recruit training. Once the box was

opened, all sorts of wines and snacks

were available. Enough for everyone to

drink until midnight. Rookies, let's get

this going. Sim shouted with boundless

enthusiasm. Drink as much as you can,

and if you're still hungry, you can get

more from the restaurant. Yes. The

recruits cheered and immediately began

to devour the food and drinks. Although

not all new recruits drink alcohol. Even

those who can't eat can enjoy the food

to their hearts content. The dishes Sim

brought were much better than the school

meals. [ __ ] Sim sighed inwardly as he

looked at the recruits happy faces.

Every year when he saw off the new

recruits, Sim felt a pang of reluctance.

These rookies were going to fight to the

death on the battlefield while he had to

stay on Mars guarding the safest place

which made him feel ashamed. Sir,

thanks. Zhao Yuan walked over to Sim

with a bottle of Baiou and patted him

lightly on the shoulder. Sim brought

several bottles of Baiou, Chinese

liquor, and Zho Yuan was the only

Chinese person in the class, so Sim had

obviously prepared it especially for

him. Kid, that's not how you drink

alcohol. Sim rolled his eyes as he

watched Zhao Yuan gulp down the liquor.

Be careful you don't end up in the

infirmary if you don't drink. It's okay.

I have a high alcohol tolerance. I've

been drinking since I was a kid. Zho

Yuan shook his head nonchalantly. His

cells regenerate quickly and his

metabolism is extremely high, making it

virtually impossible for him to get

drunk. On the contrary, he wants to have

a good drink. Let's see who can hold

their liquor better. Sim laughed as he

opened a bottle of whiskey and drank

with Zhao Yuan. As glasses clinkedked,

the atmosphere in class 3's dormatory

grew increasingly lively. With food and

drinks prepared, everyone raised their

glasses, discussing their hopes and

dreams for the future. Some of the new

recruits with low alcohol tolerance got

drunk after only a few sips. Some even

cried and acted out, but they were

quickly restrained. Zhao Yuan felt a

sense of satisfaction as each new

recruit toasted him, thanking him for

his care all along. He knew that not all

recruits were as wealthy as Rico. Some

students from poor families couldn't

even afford cigarettes and snacks. Zhao

Yuan provided them with what they needed

while also respecting their dignity.

This gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Being toasted by the new recruits at the

dinner table meant that he held an

extraordinary place in their hearts. He

hoped that next time he drank, the

person toasting him would not be a

private, but a sergeant-level officer or

even higher. The three major federal

armed forces are divided into 16 ranks

from private to five-star general, and

the head of the force is elected by the

soldiers and holds the highest military

power. Zhao Yuan is currently a private

third class and he will be promoted to

private second class in a couple of

days. Chapter 24. Heading to Tharsus

Fortress. The next day, Zho Yuan woke up

from his dream, stretched, and realized

it was already 2:00 p.m. He had been

drinking with everyone until dawn the

night before and was now the earliest

riser in the dormatory. The public

screen next to the door lit up. He went

over to check and sure enough, it was a

notification about the new recruits

assignments. He quickly found his

information. With Sims help, he was

assigned to Tharsus Fortress to the

third company of the Western Army's

defense forces. Tharsus Fortress had

four defense units, each guarding one of

the four main lines of defense. Of the

others, 11 out of 17 were assigned to

Marseilles, and six went to Mariners's

Gorge. Although Mariners's Gorge had a

harsh environment, it was relatively

safe. A wonderful new life is about to

begin. After confirming that he was

going to Tharsus, Zhao Yuan felt

relieved, tidied up his dormatory and

went to the cafeteria for a meal. When I

got back to the dorm, everyone was

already awake, and gathered around the

public chat screen to check the

assignment results. Those who stayed in

the Mowski base were happy because they

didn't have to go through another

unfamiliar journey. Boss, you're going

to the volcanic highlands. Did you see

where you're going? You're the only one

who went to Tharsus' Fortress. Everyone

expressed their Zhao Yuan explained with

a smile. I asked him to help me apply

for this. There's a bug plague at

Thars's Fortress every day, which is

exactly where I want to go. [ __ ]

there's even such a thing. Everyone else

said that if they could apply, they

would also like to go to the place that

best suits them. Ola suddenly said, "The

destinations are assigned according to

grades. The top performing students go

to Tharsus, the fortress, while the

worst performing students stay in Mars.

We're in the middle going to Sailor

Canyon." I see. Everyone realized and

they were stunned, especially those who

had just been clamoring to request a

transfer. After chatting for a while,

Zhao Yuan suggested that they all go and

inquire about their whereabouts. He

discovered that the squad leaders from

Tharsus Fortress had all been assigned

to the third company of the Western

Army's Defense Force. This unit had

limited capacity. How could it accept so

many new recruits at once? He suspected

that the unit might have suffered heavy

casualties recently. The next day, all

the new recruits assembled that recruit

camp 1, preparing to head to Fort

Tharsus. Nearly a thousand people

gathered, and the transport planes were

already parked. Zhao Yuan's six

teammates will accompany him to Tharsus'

Fortress. They hug each other, offer

their blessings, and Rico and the others

remind Zhao Yuan to be careful. I will.

I wish you all the best. Zho Yuan smiled

and said goodbye, nodding to Sim. Sim

stood to the side, his eyes slightly

red, saying little, just watching

quietly. Joe, we should go. Squad leader

Blake reminded Zhao Yuan that the

transport plane was ready for takeoff.

Okay. Zhao Yuan agreed, waved goodbye,

and then boarded the plane. Most of the

passengers on the transport plane were

strangers. They were all new recruits,

fresh out of basic training. Newbies,

welcome aboard this flight. Pilot

Miller's voice rang out over the

intercom. Next, I'm taking you to hell.

Zhao Yuan smiled slightly, his eyes

narrowed, full of energy. Chapter 25,

Zombie Siege, Insect Version. After the

transport plane took off, the pilot

opened the protective window. Zhao Yuan

sat by the window and looked out through

the glass. He found that the scenery was

not as expected. The Martian surface was

almost devoid of green, only a yellow

wasteland. After flying for a while, Zho

Yuans eyes suddenly lit up. He saw

a large swarm of insects wandering on

the ground like ants. Occasionally, he

could also see many bombing zones full

of insect corpses and missile craters.

The whole scene was desolate. At this

moment, Zhao Yuan became excited.

Although he had seen insect corpses in

anatomy class when he was in high

school, they were all sand beetles.

Today, however, he finally saw the scale

of the insect race with his own eyes.

The arachnus insecttoid race has many

species including the warrior insect,

jumping insect, sand beetle, and plasma

insect. The warrior insect is enormous

and charges without regard for its own

life, hence its nickname soldier insect.

The jumping insect is smaller than the

warrior insect, but can fly and is often

called locust. The plasma insect, they

possess enormous size and powerful

plasma cannons capable of destroying

starships. But these insects are just

the tip of the iceberg. Zhao Yuan knew

there were many more undiscovered insect

species. For example, the parasitic and

controllable dominator insects and the

interstellar traveler starship insects.

Most of the insects in front of him were

just soldier insects and locusts. The

rare plasma insect species could only be

found on insect planets. 20 minutes

later, the transport plane arrived above

Tharsus' Fortress. Seeing Tharsus'

Fortress below, Zhao Yuan exclaimed in

amazement. The extinct volcano before

him was enormous with Tharsus' Fortress

situated inside, surrounded by swarms of

insects that launched attacks

intermittently. The Tharsus Fortress

boasts a formidable defense system with

an outer layer of electric fences and

multiple inner layers of automatic

turrets and sentry towers, effectively

isolating all threats. Despite the

relentless onslaught of insects and the

countless obstacles formed by the piled

up insect corpses on the perimeter,

numerous casualties were inflicted.

Meanwhile, on the western wall of the

Tharsus Fortress, soldiers of the third

company were on duty. The reinforcements

are finally coming. I'm so fed up with

working overtime. A soldier complained.

What can these rookies who can't even

hold a gun properly do? Another soldier

sneered. Despite their urgent need for

reinforcements, they did not have high

hopes for the new recruits abilities and

even hoped to take this opportunity to

teach them a lesson. Shortly after, the

three transport planes landed smoothly.

The new recruits disembarked with their

luggage, appearing somewhat reserved.

Zhao Yuan glanced around. The three

transport planes carried 75 new

recruits. Don't just stand there. Come

here, a corporal called to them, urging

them to leave the airfield. I love this

place. It's heaven," Brown muttered

under his breath, a broad smile playing

on his lips. He was the squad leader of

the 10th squad, transferred from the

number one recruit camp at Marseilles.

The other six squad leaders came from

the first, second, third, Zho Yuan

squad, fifth, eighth, and ninth squads,

respectively. They used to be rivals,

but now they are comrades. It is indeed

a good place. Zhao Yuan nodded, feeling

a surge of heat rising in his heart as

well. The Tharsus forward base is

completely different from ordinary bases

with advanced military equipment. As

soon as he got off the plane, he saw the

Federation's latest 5 m tall combat

robot, which was all inspiring. These

combat robots are equipped with

controlled nuclear fusion devices.

Although the technology is currently

extremely difficult, and the Federation

can only produce miniaturized versions,

they are still powerful weapons. Zhao

Yuan knew that strategic equipment like

individual Mets would still require a

long time before mass production.

Nevertheless, he understood that his

current environment would determine the

risks and challenges of future missions.

He secretly checked the system shop.

Although he could only access the basic

shop, it was enough for him to prepare

for the upcoming battle. Chapter 26. The

veteran finds trouble. 10 minutes later,

Zhao Yuan followed the other new

recruits to the work hall. Rookies, take

out your ID cards. The guide had the

recruits line up to register. The whole

registration process was not

complicated. Identity verification, oath

taking, and receiving the private

shoulder insignia were all done quickly

in less than half an hour. Zhao Yuan

glanced at his personal panel. In

addition to the upgrade in military

rank, his title had also changed from

perseverance to fitness guru, and all

his attributes had increased by 0.2. He

nodded in satisfaction. His physique was

already far beyond that of ordinary

people, and the physical abilities he

had gained in the enhanced human stage

allowed him to improve even faster.

After registering, everyone was taken to

the Western Army's residential area. The

Western Army consisted of five defense

units, each with 300 men, totaling

1,500.

The Western Army's defense units were

mainly responsible for the city's

defense. Although not the only army,

their role at Tharsus Fortress was

extremely important. All right, you can

walk the rest of the way on your own.

The guide said a few words and left.

Zhao Yuan raised his hand and suggested

that go find everyone their living

quarters together. Hey bro, I'm from the

third company. Several new recruits came

up to greet Zhao Yuan. Soon everyone

started looking for their squad and

barracks and the atmosphere became

lively. Zhao Yuan counted the number of

people and found that most of them had

gone to the third team. This team had a

strength of 200 people, but 56 people

joined today, which meant that the third

team had suffered heavy losses recently.

The allocation of the other teams was

also clear. The second and fourth teams

were assigned fewer new recruits, while

the fifth team was assigned the most.

After receiving their daily necessities,

everyone began to find their

dormitories. Zhao Yuan quickly found the

dormatory for the third team. The

dormatory was larger than those in the

recruit camp with spacious interiors,

and each group had 18 or 19 people. As

soon as Zhao Yuan opened the dormatory

door, he smelled a sour foul odor mixed

with the smell of smoke. Oh, our

sweetheart is here. Some veterans voices

rang out, and everyone began to gather

around the new recruit. Most people in

the dormatory were still asleep with

only a dozen or so awake, playing cards.

Zhao Yuan ignored the veterans and

started looking for a bed. After all,

this was a new recruit joining the

company, and it was normal for the

veterans to cause trouble. Number eight,

Zhao Yuan found his bed and was about to

put down his pillow and blanket when he

saw Lao Hi from the next bed spit on his

bed. Sweetheart, this is the bed I put

my shoes on. If you want to sleep here,

wipe my shoes clean first. Old Hay

looked strong, his tone full of

contempt. But Zhao Yuan didn't back

down, coldly replying, "Uddy, I suggest

you don't cause trouble. Now clean up

the mess you've made or I'll lose all

respect for veterans. Zho Yuans

eyes showed no sign of compromise, which

started led for a moment, but he quickly

looked away, clearly lacking the courage

to continue provoking him. Chapter 27.

Take them all down. Behave yourself from

now on. Wow, guys, did you hear that?

This newbie actually told me not to

cause trouble, and now I'm starting to

like him. Let me tell you, that's how

Easterners are. They like to say, "I

advise you not to do that or I'll teach

you a lesson." Upon hearing Zho Yuan's

words, Lai yelled and got out of bed,

circling around Zhao Yuan more. It seems

this newbie thinks he can take you down.

Stop talking nonsense and teach him the

rules here. The veterans were indeed

provoked by this black man named Moore,

and they all started to jeer, completely

disregarding Zhao Yuan. The newlyweds

shrank back and huddled at the doorway,

not daring to speak. Only six of them

knew Zhao Yuan. And although they had a

good relationship, they weren't close

enough to get beaten up together. They

all believed that offending veterans was

not a good thing and that enduring a day

of grievance was better than being a

punching bag for a long time. Kid,

you've lost the right to sleep in this

bed. Now, let me teach you how to

respect veterans. After enjoying the

cheers that only big stars get to hear

for a while, Moore stretched his

shoulders and reached out to grab Juan.

Click. Just as Moore reached out, Zhao

Yuans expression turned cold, and

he retaliated. In the blink of an eye,

Zhao Yuan dislocated Moore's right hand,

making it look like a twisted and

deformed tree root. Bang! That wasn't

all. Zhao Yuan grabbed Moore's right

hand and flung it away, then pressed his

left hand against the back of Moore's

neck, slamming Moore's face heavily onto

the bed. "Shit, kid. What have you

done?" This scene shocked the veterans

in the dormatory, and even the new

recruits were stunned. This time the

challenge for the newcomers is about to

be upgraded. Kid, I'm going to kill you.

Mo was furious to be defeated by a

newcomer in front of everyone. Although

dislocated fingers are very painful,

they are still bearable for a veteran

like him. He swung his left hand

backward, repeatedly striking Zhao

Yuan's hand that was pressed against the

back of his neck. But no matter how much

he struck, Zhao Yuan did not let go. I

told you I advised you not to cause

trouble. Zhao Yuan said something

casually, then gently flung Moore away

with both hands. [ __ ] [ __ ] Moore had

completely lost his mind at this point.

After getting up from the ground, he

rushed over again and kicked Zhao Yuan

hard. You'd better calm down. Zhao Yuan

slightly turned his body, clenched his

left fist, and slammed it into Moore's

stomach, then chopped his right hand

into a chop and struck Moore on the back

of the neck, instantly knocking Moore

unconscious. Let's stop here. What do

you think? Then Zhao Yuan pushed more

onto the next bed, glanced at the

veterans, and said indifferently,

"Noubbi, don't be so arrogant. I don't

think your suggestion is very good."

Inexplicably, when Zhao Yuan swept them

with his cold gaze, but they quickly

regained their composure. They've seen

plenty of newbies who are good at

fighting. So, what if you're good at

fighting? This is the dormatory, the

territory of these veterans. There are

more than 60 veterans living in the

dormatory alone. The veterans who were

closer to Zhao Yuan exchanged glances

and then stood up to move closer to him.

That's why I always say, "I don't like

what you think. I like what I think."

Zhao Yuan's side, then instantly entered

battle mode and chose to take the

initiative. Smack, bang. Various

collision sounds rang out as Zhao Yuan

took down several more veterans,

defeating his opponents with a single

punch and kick each time. In order not

to hurt anyone, he deliberately held

back his strength, ensuring that the

person hit would only suffer some minor

injuries. In less than 10 seconds,

several people were lying at his feet.

Who's next? At this moment, Zho Yuan

suddenly became somewhat arrogant and

waved to the veterans who were watching

the show. He's already figured it out.

Among the veterans present, the highest

rank was only sergeant first class.

There wasn't a single lieutenant. Given

that no one tried to stop Moore when he

made his move, and those who did speak

were only encouraging him, he was

certain that the leadership of group one

was not in the dormatory. This is a good

opportunity. The goal was to subdue the

veterans in one fell swoop and

demonstrate strength to the command. He

didn't want things to turn out this way.

He preferred building a circle of

friends through daily interactions

rather than fighting. But he couldn't

tolerate this situation today. Respect

is mutual. If you don't respect me, I'll

beat you until you respect me. And I'll

get straight to the point. Even if he

had to be whipped later, he accepted it.

No one could spit on his bed. Unless it

was a beautiful girl he made vomit. Kid,

do you think you're that strong? I

promise you'll cry very rhythmically

later. Don't get too cocky, you idiot

who only knows how to box. As expected,

Zhao Yuan's action angered many

veterans. Some veterans, newcomers who

were not interested in bullying, have

now stepped forward, ready to teach Zhao

Yuan a lesson. However, the dozen or so

newcomers were now looking at Zho Yuan

with shining eyes. Oh my god, if I had

known he was this strong, we should have

attacked together from the start. They

secretly discussed it and decided that

if Zhao Yuan suffered a loss later, they

would go up together and ambush the

veteran. They didn't help before because

they thought 18 new recruits couldn't

beat dozens of veterans. Now that Zhao

Yuan, this formidable man, has appeared,

the situation has changed. If given a

choice, who would willingly allow

themselves to be bullied by veterans? A

generous gift of crabs. God, I must be

seeing things. This guy is practically a

humanoid titan. While the newcomers had

already discussed and formed a group to

approach and prepare to help, Zhao Yuan

had already started fighting with the

veterans. They felt that it was all

fake. Zhao Yuan was surrounded by more

than a dozen veterans, but he did not

appear to be at a disadvantage at all.

Because the venue wasn't very big, Zhao

Yuan didn't have much room to maneuver.

Zhao Yuan could only stand still and

make his move. But every time he made a

move, he would take down an old soldier.

The attacks from those veterans, whether

punches or kicks, felt like massages to

Zhao Yuan. He didn't even flinch.

Honestly, this is like a tiger entering

a rabbit's den. It's a complete

dimensional reduction attack, guys. Joe

must not have gone all out when he was

in recruit camp. Blake swallowed hard

and spoke to Johnson and the others

beside him. They both came from the same

recruit camp, and because they were both

squad leaders, they often ran into each

other during individual training

matches. At that time, Zho Yuan strength

was not as great as it is now. Although

Zhao Yuan ultimately won, they were all

able to exchange dozens of blows with

him. Now it seems Zhao Yuan must have

deliberately gone easily on them to save

face. Chapter 28. The commander's high

rank. One dormatory was bustling with

activity as Zho Yuan single-handedly

beat up dozens of veterans. The meeting

room of the third squadron was also

bustling with activity with nearly 30

people staring at a single screen. The

screen displayed a live surveillance

video of the dormatory. I want this kid.

He'll come to the second squad. No, the

fifth squad is where he belongs. Boss,

let this kid join group three. Group

three is full of old guys. We need to

bring in some fresh blood. Carter, don't

even think about it. That kid's one of

mine. Don't you have any new recruits in

your third team? The meeting room was

unusually noisy with most people

arguing. They were the command of the

Western Army's third company, a captain

as company commander, three lieutenant

squad leaders, and 25 second lieutenant

platoon leaders. Every time the third

squadron receives new recruits, they

make a point of leaving their

dormitories and gathering in the

conference room to increase the freedom

of their subordinates. The goal is

simple, to see if there are any

promising newcomers worth nurturing.

Today, they actually found a tough

opponent. However, this tough guy was a

bit too tough, which led to fierce

competition among them. No one didn't

want to have a soldier like Zhao Yuan

under their command. Boss, isn't this

kid pretty good? Sim wasn't lying to me

after all. He's the strongest recruit

I've ever seen. Group leader Turner was

grinning from ear to ear. He never

imagined that the outstanding recruit

Sim had mentioned would be this good. In

terms of close combat, Zhao Yuan is

definitely the strongest in the third

squadron. He is even more durable than a

bear, and he didn't fall down even after

taking more than a dozen punches.

Moreover, Sim told him that Zhao Yuan's

shooting was just as good as his

hand-to-h hand combat. An all-around

infantryman, you don't encounter one

every day. Indeed, it's quite good. The

man Turner referred to as boss was

Captain Campbell, the commander of the

third squadron. Campbell stared intently

at Joe Yuan, who was engaged in a fierce

fight on the screen, his eyes filled

with admiration. After a moment of

silence, he slowly stood up and said,

"Turner, give him a squad and see if he

has the ability to lead one." So fast,

Turner paused, somewhat incredulous.

It's unheard of for a newcomer to be

appointed as a squad leader directly.

The others also fell silent. Of the

nearly 30 people present, the vast

majority were squad leaders. Now, a

newcomer was to be on equal footing with

them. They acknowledged Zhao Yuan's

potential, but isn't it a bit too hasty

to do it so quickly? Campbell shook his

head and said calmly, "The third

squadron needs to change. We just

suffered a crushing defeat, and I don't

want to experience it again. In my team,

strength represents everything, and

those who are stronger should receive

more." When he became a private first

class, he was given the eighth squad and

he was allowed to choose his squad

members from among the new recruits.

Clear. Upon hearing Campbell's

suggestion, Turner readily agreed. No

one else raised any objections since the

group leader of group one had already

agreed. Besides, all three combat groups

have vacant squad leader positions. It's

not like we're going to replace them.

The scene returns to the dormatory of

the third squadron, Group One. The

battle between Zhao Yuan and the

veterans has ended with Zhao Yuan

emerging victorious. There were nearly

50 losers, some of whom collapsed to the

ground while others lay on the ground

groaning in pain. Dude, it's just a

prank. All newbies go through this. I've

been there before. Don't be nervous. We

don't want to fight you. Hey buddy,

don't do that. Several veterans raised

their hands, tentatively approached Zhao

Yuan, and kept trying to persuade him.

Seeing their acquaintances lying on the

ground, their faces turned green. This

newcomer is a monster. I've seen people

with good physical gifts, but I've never

seen anyone this good. He actually

managed to withstand the punches of

dozens of people and knock them all

down. Don't worry, I'm perfectly sober.

Let's leave it at that. If Moore hadn't

spat on me and insulted me, I wouldn't

have resorted to violence. After all,

violence doesn't solve anything. Zhao

Yuan nodded expressionlessly, but his

heart was bursting with joy. That old

black man named Moore had actually

helped him out. No veteran would dare to

make things difficult for him anymore.

And also, it was so much fun to play. To

be honest, he couldn't find so many

professional sparring partners anywhere

else. However, this dormatory was really

not a good place to fight, and he ended

up getting punched quite a few times,

covered in bruises, and needed a day to

recover. Violence cannot solve problems.

We think you solved it very well.

Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, the veterans

were at a loss for words. This newcomer

was truly special. Fortunately, they

didn't have time to go up, otherwise

they would be lying on the ground now.

What are you waiting for? After shedding

his cold-blooded killer demeanor, Zhao

Yuan waved to the newlyweds watching the

show. Zhao, you're amazing, dude. You

were like Superman just now. God, you're

the best fighter I've ever seen. The

newlyweds then came to their senses and

came over to greet Zhao Yuan one by one.

However, considering that there were

other veterans around, they didn't dare

to mention it further. After exchanging

a few words, they went to find their own

beds. I'll do it. At this moment, Zhao

Yuan cursed inwardly, almost losing his

cool guy persona. He only remembered

after he finished hitting the bed that

Moore, that big oaf, had spat on his

bed, and he really didn't want to clean

it up. But he just said that this matter

should end here, so it would be somewhat

inappropriate to cause trouble for more

now. Boss, let me help you. Suddenly, an

unfamiliar voice rang out from behind

Zhao Yuan. He turned around and saw an

unfamiliar black man with a bald head, a

big beard, and big eyes who surprisingly

gave him a cute and innocent feeling.

Thanks. Zhao Yuan patted him on the

shoulder and moved him aside. I have to

say, this old black man is very clever.

He shouted, "Boss!" quite loudly, and

all the veterans around who weren't

knocked unconscious heard it. They would

never dare to bully him again. "Boss, my

name is James. Just call me if you need

anything in the future." After making

Zhao Yuans bed, Laei quietly

expressed his loyalty. "Yes, I'll

remember you. If anyone bullies you in

the future, just tell me and I will

teach them what rules are." Zhao Yuan

nodded slightly and popped down on the

bed. Then he reached into the inside

pocket of his uniform and took out a

cigar and two packs of good cigarettes

from his ring along with two lighters.

He lit his own cigar and gave James a

pack of cigarettes. This is what a

leader should do. It's all about being

generous and having style. Thanks, boss.

James was overjoyed. A pack of these

cigarettes cost a hundred federal

dollars in the store. Enough to buy a

case of beer, which he himself couldn't

afford. Blake, here you go. Zhao Yuan

tossed the remaining pack of cigarettes

to an acquaintance who had come out of

the recruit camp with him. After that

brawl, the relationship between these

newcomers and him improved without them

even realizing it, and they started to

see him as someone to rely on. With a

little effort, it will soon be another

three shifts. Chapter 29, private first

class squad leader. [ __ ] Can someone

explain to me what happened here? Soon

after, more people came to the

dormatory. There were nine people in

total and they all held high ranks. One

was a lieutenant and eight were second

lieutenants. The one who asked the

question was the lieutenant. Zhao Yuan

beat up nearly 50 veterans, knocking out

more than half of them. They are still

lying on the ground and the lieutenant

will see them as soon as he arrives.

Team leader, it was this rookie who did

it. He took down dozens of people all by

himself. As soon as the lieutenant

arrived, a veteran immediately went up

to report. This veteran had never fought

with Zhao Yuan. He had been watching the

spectacle as Zhao Yuan single-handedly

beat up dozens of veterans. Actually,

there aren't many veterans who like to

educate newcomers. In the beginning,

there were only a dozen or so people

playing cards, and the rest were

sleeping. After Zhao Yuan took down the

dozen or so veterans, he provoked the

remaining veterans and the fight broke

out again. There weren't many veterans

who didn't get beaten up. Those who

didn't get beaten up weren't unwilling

to fight Zhao Yuan. rather when they

finally decided to go up, they realized

they would only get beaten up anyway, so

they didn't. Which rookie? The

lieutenant asked coldly. This lieutenant

is Lieutenant Turner, the leader of the

first combat group of the third squadron
