C87

Now.

I closed my eyes, sprawled on my back and half sat on the veranda, enjoying the rare time of rest. The winter sun shone warmly on my body, and my limbs felt as if they had been ironed, as if they had been ironed, as if they were all soft. I felt as if I couldn't even clench my fists anymore, as if my bones had been sucked clean, as if my entire body had melted into ice cream, and I just wanted to be paralyzed and never have to wake up again.

The sounds of Xiao Jie and Zhang Yiling playing with each other echoed in our ears. We don't know what kind of new hairstyle they were going to make for Casey today, but it was fortunate that they were here, so that we, who had just lost our Uncle Feng s, Aunt Chen s, and Lv, wouldn't feel too stifled.

I slightly opened my eyes and swept my gaze over the three new graves in the corner of the courtyard. I sighed in my heart. I don't know how many people will be buried there in the future. Could it be me? After experiencing so many things, I felt that death wasn't that scary or unacceptable anymore. There was even a hint of yearning in it, like standing on a tall building and looking down. Even though I was afraid, there was still a hint of desire to jump.

"F * ck his mother!" San Mao suddenly scolded, and then I smelled a strong stench. I turned my head to look and saw that San Mao had taken off his shoes and socks, and was ruthlessly rubbing his feet. Layers of black mud were twisted into black earthworms, and they all fell down from his fingers.

"It's fucking itchy!" San Mao cursed again. I saw his little toe, pink and swollen like a carrot, when he rubbed the black mud off.

Hearing him say this, I also felt that I was starting to feel the frostbite from the extreme cold of the previous day — my fingers, toes, earlobes began to itch with a heart-wrenching itch. After scratching my earlobe and scratching my fingers, I kicked hard on the ground with my feet, but the more I scratched, the more itchy I felt, and just as I was about to stop, I heard MaggieQ's calm voice coming from behind me — —

"Level 3 alarm!"

I jumped up from my chair as if on reflex, grabbed my AK-Rifle and my equipment belt, and sprinted to my dog hole. Before I reached the edge of the hole, I lay down on the ground and slid into the hole with a football-like motion, then grabbed a camouflage cover made from a dismantled refrigerator door and covered my head with it.

Through the gaps in the cover, I looked around. Great Strength, Monkey, Yang Yufan and even San Tu had successfully entered their "dog hole". Even Xiao Jie and Zhang Yiling had taken their respective positions in the "dog hole". Only San Mao was left, cursing as he wore his shoes to tie his shoelaces in panic.

"Time's up!" "Cease the alarm!" MaggieQ looked at his hand and said expressionlessly.

Relieved, I lifted the camouflage cover and climbed out of the Dog-Hole. The others came out of their bunkers and lined up under the eaves.

"Failed to complete tactical actions within 60 seconds!" MaggieQ looked around us and said slowly.

"Sigh …" Everyone let out a long sigh as they automatically laid down on the ground and began to do push-ups.

"1, 2, 3, 4 …" Little Casey gave us a clear count.

It wasn't until the man had finished making 50 and the woman had finished making 20 push-ups that everyone stood up from the ground.

"It's all your fault! What are you grabbing for! "He's still a soldier, hmph!" Xiao Jie scolded San Mao.

"I …" San Mao was speechless, he awkwardly scratched the back of his head and argued: "I'm not a soldier, I'm a policeman."

"Isn't that different?!" Zhang Yiling scolded with a face full of regret.

"Shut up!" MaggieQ shouted, and everyone immediately shut up.

"A team is a team!" MaggieQ walked past us with a straight face. "In a team, there is no single individual. Everyone is a part of the team. If one person makes a mistake, the other members of the team might die …"

"That's right …" It's all San Mao's fault, why did you punish us … " Zhang Yiling muttered again.

MaggieQ turned around and walked in front of Zhang Yiling: "Don't you have to take responsibility for his mistakes?"

"I …" Zhang Yiling was so afraid that her voice began to tremble, but she still asked softly, "Why should I be held responsible?"

"Why didn't you stop him when he was taking off his shoes?"

"But …" Zhang Yiling still wanted to continue to distinguish between the two, but Xiao Jie, who was beside her, quickly pulled on her sleeves.

"No buts!" MaggieQ interrupted her: "Remember, every oversight you make can kill your teammates around you, as well as your teammates. Therefore, in the team, not only must you do your job well and complete your task, but you must also always pay attention to your teammates. When he tries to do something harmful to the team, immediately stop him!"

"Now, everyone pay attention!" MaggieQ raised the volume.

We immediately stood at attention, our heads held high and our chests puffed out.

"Prisoners, squat down to 100, begin!"

"Sigh …" We all sighed again and put our hands on our heads and began to crouch.

"1, 2, 3, 4 …" Little Casey's crisp voice came out again.

The day after Uncle Feng and the rest died, MaggieQ took the initiative to look for us, mercilessly insulting us. In her words, we were just a bunch of trash who had met with bad luck and had lived to this day. She did not believe that we would be able to turn in our bad luck and continue living until next year's spring … Then, in order to thank me for saving him twice, she said that she had also taken San Tu's Asura Seal. In exchange, she could train us. Towards this suggestion, we naturally could not ask for more. Other than San Tu expressing his heartache and concern over his national treasure, the others were all cheering in joy.

But at the beginning of the training, everyone started to complain. MaggieQ's training was simply inhuman, and not just physical torture, but mental devastation. "Trash snacks, when your mother spoils you, did you eat shit? How ridiculous is it for the world to produce idiots like you …" that sort of direct insult to personality. In the beginning, everyone was unable to bear the humiliation, but after San Mao first tried to challenge her authority, only to be sent flying three meters away with a kick, everyone became silent in front of MaggieQ.
