My Military Career in a Parallel World

Before this, everyone was looking forward to the welcome dinner that Wan Peng mentioned. Especially after seeing the food standards of the teaching team at noon, everyone was fantasizing about what would be for dinner in the evening. Among them, the dozen or so people who had no food at noon and could only eat steamed buns were the worst.

But when everyone walked into the cafeteria and saw what was on the table, many people's faces turned ugly.

Only scouts like Jiang Chen, who usually eat insects as food in the wild, can still remain calm.

"How about the food I prepared for you today? It took me a lot of effort to get these things.

The entire teaching team was busy for three or four days.

So, I hope you guys won’t let everyone’s hard work go to waste and eat all of this stuff in front of you!”

Wan Peng leaned against a round table, pointing at the rows of various insects and animals behind him, with a slight smile on his face. Several district captains and soldiers from the kitchen squad next to him also had smiles on their faces as they watched the fun.

"Gudu~"

Some people couldn't help swallowing.

This is certainly not out of greed, but rather the body's instinctive resistance.

Not all troops are like the reconnaissance company, eating this stuff as a meal on a daily basis. For ordinary companies, eating insects is a privilege of "savages" such as scouts and special forces.

What kind of good person would eat this stuff for no reason?

The teaching team provided a variety of insects, including grasshoppers, earthworms, bamboo worms that Jiang Chen and his classmates often eat, as well as scorpions that they rarely come into contact with.

Moreover, there were not only bugs at the scene, but also various small mammals/rodents.

For example, mice, rabbits, etc.

Countless insects were placed in a large stainless steel basin, densely packed and still wriggling, which made Jiang Chen almost develop claustrophobia.

I don't know where this perverted captain got so many insects and animals. It's impossible for him to really take people to the forest to catch them...

"Don't just stand there, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied? These are all delicacies that ordinary people can't even eat. Hurry up and get your food, don't let anyone rush you!"

Seeing that no one was taking any action, the smile on Wan Peng's face gradually faded and his tone of voice became colder.

"The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn. It's just like eating a bug."

The bad thing about being a deputy monitor is that you have to lead by example at all times.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen went to the reconnaissance company and had long been accustomed to eating insects and raw meat.

When he brought the rice tray forward, the soldiers from the kitchen squad who had been waiting on the side immediately picked up a spoon to help serve the rice. Each person got a spoonful of various insects, plus a small mouse that was obviously still breathing, a few slices of rabbit meat, and a large piece of beef with green glowing muscle fibers that were still throbbing slightly.

In fact, if we really calculate the cost, what Wan Peng said before is not wrong. Their meal can definitely be described as "luxurious".

Just that piece of raw beef weighing nearly one pound is worth a lot of money, not to mention the various "game" that are difficult to obtain through normal means. The cost of this meal alone is at least fifty yuan and above, and the food standard is almost catching up with that of the dog squad leader.

Wan Peng and several district captains were not idle either. After everyone had prepared their meals, they each prepared one for themselves.

This includes the instructor Shi Yi, who seemed gentle and refined.

“I won’t say any more small talk.

I have only one request for this meal!"

Wan Peng looked around, raised a finger and said, "Everything must be eaten without leaving any. Don't let me see any leftovers!"

After saying that, Wan Peng took the lead in using his chopsticks. He picked up a still struggling grasshopper, put it into his mouth, and began to chew it slowly.

"It tastes okay, but a little prickly." He expressed his thoughts while eating, as if he was not eating insects but some delicacies from the land and the sea.

At the third shift's dinner table, Jiang Chen, Wang Jie, Guo Chao and several other scouts also started picking up insects from their plates with their chopsticks and eating them.

"Fuck, Lao Guo, are all you scouts so cruel?" A soldier from an ordinary company picked up insects and brought them to his mouth several times but could not bear to do it. He saw Guo Chao and others eating the insects on their plates with no expression on their faces, and he could not help but sigh.

"If I let you stay in the woods for a few days without bringing any supplies, you can still eat." Guo Chao replied without even raising his head.

The other scouts nodded in agreement.

Wilderness survival training is a big part of a scout's daily training.

You have to come here every once in a while.

They've long been used to bugs and the like.

Compared to eating insects, what is really unacceptable to some people is eating mice.

Although we know that the mountain rats and field mice provided by the teaching team are edible, not everyone can easily overcome the psychological barrier.

Also, don't forget that the mice given to them were all alive, and they had to slaughter them themselves before eating.

Everyone tacitly agreed to save this thing for last.

If you were to ask what was the most delicious food in this meal, it would undoubtedly be the beef.

The beef provided by the teaching team is very fresh. The faint green light on the surface of the beef is not a bad thing, but a reflection of the fresh quality of the beef.

Although it still tastes a bit fishy, ​​it depends on what it is compared with.

At least it's better than a table full of bugs and rats.

The dinner lasted a long time, a full half an hour.

Even if some people instinctively resist these things, seeing their comrades around them starting to eat them one by one, they can only follow suit and join the team of "savages".

When meal time was over and everyone left, the entire restaurant was filled with a faint fishy smell.

This is the smell left after slaughtering rats.

Accompanying this are waves of dry retching sounds, as if one wants to vomit but dares not.

This is just the beginning, the real pain is yet to come.

After thousands or tens of thousands of years of evolution, the human body has long been accustomed to cooked food. Now that they are suddenly exposed to raw food, coupled with psychological factors, many people show discomfort. The first thing they want to do when leaving the cafeteria is to go to the toilet to vomit out the worms and raw meat in their stomachs.

However, their perverted captain seemed to have been prepared for this and did not give anyone a chance to act.

As soon as we came out of the cafeteria, everyone was taken to the classroom by the instructor to start the required subject every evening, which was a half-hour news broadcast.

After watching the news broadcast, there is another 40-minute ideological and political class...

At this time, the food in everyone's stomach has been almost digested, and it is too late to vomit.

Just before the get out of class ended, several district captains came in with a box of medicine.

"Although the food you just ate was purchased from special channels and processed by the kitchen team, it is inevitable that there will be some residue. These are antibiotics and anthelmintics. Two tablets per person. Eat now and you can leave after you finish eating."

Yan Weihua explained as he distributed medicines to everyone.

Jiang Chen and others were already accustomed to this scene and did not react much.

When they were in the reconnaissance company, they would eat these things every time they came back from field survival training. Every once in a while, the battalion commander would invite a special military doctor to come and check on them.

If, without these conditions, you really dare to eat insects as food, then wait for death.

Even so, once the group returned to the dormitory and was dismissed, the toilets on each floor were immediately packed with people.

Some people have diarrhea because it is their first time to eat raw meat and their stomachs cannot handle it. For more people, it is due to psychological problems. There is actually nothing wrong with them, but because of psychological problems, when they see others having diarrhea, they think they should have diarrhea too.

Then, this situation spread like a plague...

"Deputy, are you guys really okay?"

In the dormitory, several soldiers who had just returned from a trip to the toilet couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay. I told you it's just a psychological effect. Just don't think about it." Jiang Chen flipped through the study materials that the training team had just distributed, and answered without raising his head: "The captain is not stupid. On the first day of joining the camp, more than half of the people in the camp have not started training yet. What good does this do him?"

"But, but, I just feel a stomachache and want to go to the toilet..."

Even though Jiang Chen said this, others still couldn't accept it for a while.

Whenever they think of what happened before, they feel uncomfortable all over.

Jiang Chen and Wang Jie didn't have any good solution for this. They could only use their own experiences to persuade others not to think in this way.

In this way, until the lights-out signal blew, the toilet in the dormitory building was still not idle.

From time to time, someone would run to the toilet holding their stomach.

But when I really got there, I couldn't defecate at all. I squatted for a long time until my thighs were numb, and then I came back reluctantly.

Some soldiers wanted to smoke, but smoking was prohibited in the training team and the recruit company.

When we arrived, everyone's luggage was checked, and no items that were not issued by the army were allowed to be brought in, so there was no chance to hide.

The only good news may be that the teaching team, like the recruit company, has no sentry arrangements, so they don’t need to worry about standing guard at night and can sleep soundly until the wakeup call.

Of course, this is only possible in theory. In reality, it is impossible to really sleep until the wake-up call.

When we were cleaning before, several district captains made it very clear.

The district team that ranks last in the weekly housekeeping evaluation will be responsible for the toilet sanitation of the entire camp.

The teaching team's housekeeping evaluation is not a regular inspection, but a random inspection at any time of the day, which lasts for a week, and finally a comprehensive ranking is made according to the scores of each class.

With such a huge mountain pressing down on their heads, it would be strange if they could relax.

Jiang Chen is the deputy monitor, and managing class affairs is his job.

So, before going to bed, Jiang Chen told everyone that they had to get up at 5:30 every morning, fold the quilts and do the housework in advance.

Although everyone is a veteran, after thinking about what happened this afternoon, no one had any objection to Jiang Chen's decision.

Before going to bed at night, Jiang Chen reminded everyone not to sleep too deeply and to be careful of that perverted captain who might launch a surprise attack in the middle of the night.

It’s no wonder that he is so careful. He is just scared by this perverted captain today.

In a word, it is better to be safe than sorry. With the captain's fickle personality, who knows what tricks he will play next, so it is better to be careful.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen, and everyone spent the first night in the teaching team safely.

The next day, early in the morning.

The wakeup call sounded, but no one was asked to gather for morning exercises.

There is no other reason, because according to the plan, all trainees today must undergo a physical examination and a baseline assessment before they can continue with the subsequent training.

This is also the reason why Wan Peng was not afraid of any accidents caused by yesterday's insect banquet.

Although everyone had undergone military examinations when joining the army, as well as re-examinations by the recruit company, except for Jiang Chen, the other soldiers' minimum military service was more than two years.

During such a long period of time, daily training alone could cause physical injuries. There are also some hidden diseases that cannot be detected during military examinations but will only appear after subsequent training.

The name of the teaching team's devil training camp is no joke. The training intensity here is very high, and you must make sure that your physical fitness can withstand the training intensity here.

Yesterday's insect feast could barely be considered a small test of the soldiers' gastrointestinal digestive function.

If you really have vomiting and diarrhea because of eating raw food and insects, then many similar training contents cannot be carried out.

In addition, you can also check whether anyone in the team is allergic to certain insects.

Otherwise, why do you think Wan Peng has so much free time to deal with so many kinds of insects?

These things may seem unimportant at normal times, but they can be very deadly at critical moments.

If you don't know your allergy history and accidentally eat something in the wild, there is only one fate waiting for you...

As for the baseline assessment, it is even simpler.

All basic training programs are subject to performance assessment.

The assessment standards are those of the troops’ training syllabus.

If any subject fails, the student will be directly sent back to the original unit.

This quota will also be invalidated on the spot.

This is a training team, not a recruit company. It doesn't mean you will be able to stay as long as you get a place.

Only elite troops are needed here!

If a veteran cannot even achieve the passing grades listed in the training syllabus, then what qualifications does he have to call himself an elite or a backbone?

Pack up your things and go home early, don't embarrass yourself here.

The physical examination process was very quick.

The military hospital of the division headquarters was not far from the teaching team. Wan Peng had already contacted the hospital. There were not many people in the hospital at six in the morning, and more than a hundred people were examined in less than an hour.

The results of the examination were pretty good. Although there were some minor problems, everyone passed the physical examination smoothly and there were no unexpected situations.

This is normal. The places in the teaching team are precious. In order not to waste resources, each group had organized inspections before they came.

It’s just that it wasn’t as detailed as it is today.

After the physical examination and breakfast, everyone was taken to the training ground to prepare for the basic project assessment.

The teaching team is directly under the jurisdiction of the division headquarters, and its trainees are all elite backbones, with sufficient funds and various facilities.

One training ground is larger than the training grounds of the three companies of the reconnaissance battalion combined, and it has all kinds of facilities. More than a hundred people are taking the test at the same time, and it does not seem crowded but rather somewhat spacious.
