Chapter 130: Emergency Assembly

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

It was chaotic in the entire dormitory building. Ye Sanshi, the class monitor, was the first to finish packing in class five. When he reached the door, instead of going downstairs directly, he urged everyone in the dormitory to hurry up, as there was no time.

...

Amidst the chaos, someone complained, “Class monitor, my shoes are missing!”

Ye Sanshi growled, “Fuck, why are you still here? Hurry up and look for them. They must be in the dormitory.”

However, finding the missing items was not easy. The dormitory was dark, and everyone was running around anxiously, making it impossible to find things quickly.

Wang Ye, amidst the turmoil, had to focus on packing his backpack. His hands fumbled in the darkness, and he tried to remain patient as he followed the steps carefully.

After successfully packing his backpack, Wang Ye secured the straps, arranged the slippers with precision, and attached a small yellow basin to his bag. He then fixed the belt and the water bottle outside the bag.

In the last second before leaving, Wang Ye touched his bag and quickly recalled what had happened. He hesitated for a moment, looking around, but decided not to dwell on what he had lost. He didn’t inspect other people’s belongings either, not wanting to think about it.

Finally, Wang Ye picked up his backpack and prepared to leave the chaotic dormitory behind.

“Hurry up and do it. If you can’t find something, do something else first. When you’re doing it, pay attention,” Wang Ye reminded them firmly.

“Wang Ye, come out when you’re done!” Ye Sanshi’s voice echoed from the door.

“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye acknowledged.

He quickly packed his backpack, carefully maneuvering around his comrades who were still busy, and then rushed out of the room.

“Everyone, gather up! We can’t rely on these people anymore. It’s up to you to be the first to reach our destination!” he heard the class monitor shouting as he approached.

“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye responded, determination in his voice.

Carrying his backpack, he dashed through the corridor, trying to reach the gathering point as swiftly as possible.

“Fuck! Come on, move faster! Are you a snail? If you can’t find your pants, then bathe without them! Don’t waste time! This is an emergency gathering, not a leisurely stroll! I don’t have time for your dawdling!” Ye Sanshi barked.

Ignoring the remarks, Wang Ye ran downstairs without giving them a second thought.

“Heh, you’re a little slow today. Looks like you won’t be the first,” Wu Jianfeng said, smirking when he saw Wang Ye descending the stairs.

Wang Ye paused for a moment before responding.

“Report! I promise to be the first to come down next time!” Wang Ye said, determined to improve his speed.

“Haha, alright, go!” Wu Jianfeng’s response was kind and encouraging. He was standing nearby, and the first soldier to come out felt a bit envious.

Despite being the first to come out, Wu Jianfeng had merely nodded and asked him to stand aside. However, when Wang Ye came downstairs, Wu Jianfeng’s demeanor changed completely. He smiled, teasingly spoke and seemed more intimate with Wang Ye.

Another soldier from the second squad, feeling jealous of Wang Ye’s preferential treatment, pulled a long face and ignored him.

Wang Ye was a bit puzzled, as he had intended to greet this soldier from Squad Two. But upon approaching, he noticed the soldier acting distant and unapproachable. Wang Ye decided not to force a greeting and returned to his usual position.

Wu Jianfeng then shouted loudly, “Hurry, hurry, hurry. The eldest daughter is waiting to get married. Do you want me to go up and carry her down for you?”

His words added to the chaos in the dormitory, and soldiers started rushing down the stairs one after another, creating a noisy commotion.

As more soldiers came down later, their disheveled appearance was quite evident. While those who came down earlier managed to fix their belts and adjust their hats, the ones who followed were struggling to put on their clothes properly. Some were even carrying their blankets, buttoning up their shirts while hugging the blanket with the other hand.

Amidst the chaos, someone even dropped their basin while descending the stairs. Others came out wearing only shoes, and some were barefooted, with a few clutching blankets and huddling together as they made their way down.

Seeing this, Wang Ye couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity. He had thought his backpack was standard and well-prepared, but now he realized that many others were struggling to pack efficiently as well. This emergency assembly was proving to be quite challenging for everyone.

Notably, Zhang Ping’an was the one who forgot to wear pants, adding to the absurdity of the situation.

After five minutes, all the soldiers had come out, and the class leaders were stationed at the door, ready for the emergency assembly ahead. The dormitory had finally emptied out, and the chaos was now contained outside.

As the recruits lined up in front of the building, Wu Jianfeng’s demeanor changed, and he no longer had a smile on his face. His expression turned serious and stern.

After confirming that everyone was present, Wu Jianfeng raised his hand, and a flashlight illuminated the area. Outside the building, there was more light compared to the dim dormitory, but it still wasn’t very bright.

The beam of light from Wu Jianfeng’s flashlight swept across the line of soldiers, and he couldn’t help but make snarky remarks as he noticed the various states they were in.

“Look, there really is someone here without pants. And here’s one barefoot. Oh, we even have someone in a regular uniform. Are you considering it as your training uniform?”

The spotlight-like effect of the flashlight made one recruit stand out among the others, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

“Report… I couldn’t find it…” The embarrassed recruit stammered, feeling like he was under an unwelcome spotlight.

The situation was undoubtedly uncomfortable as Wu Jianfeng’s flashlight singled out the recruit’s embarrassing state in front of everyone. The torchlight shone on him, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on him.

Of course, he was actually fine. Previously, Zhang Ping’an had almost dug a hole and buried himself underground. The temperature here was good, so they didn’t wear long Johns, and that’s why he didn’t wear any pants today. When he came out in his underpants, the flashlight shone on him, revealing a pair of hairy thighs to everyone.

“Look at you guys,” Wu Jianfeng said, turning off the flashlight and raising his voice, “We are soldiers. Soldiers should behave like soldiers. Emergency assembly is one of the most basic military accomplishments a soldier must possess. The enemy will not call you in advance to make an agreement. War can break out at any time, and we have to be ready to head to the battlefield or respond to disasters immediately.”

“As soldiers, qualified soldiers, we must be prepared to listen to orders at the first moment,” he continued, pointing at the crowd. “But now, look at yourselves! Do you think you can go to the battlefield like this? If you show up on the battlefield looking like a disorganized group, the enemy will not see soldiers but rather refugees. And in disaster relief situations, if you rush over in such a state, the people in the disaster area may not take you seriously or prioritize helping you.”
