Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

"I can!"

"I can do it too!"

"And I!"

Several people spoke up, indicating that they knew how to shoot.

This also includes Dashanzi.

Sui Zhongliang didn't have time to delve into why these people were firing their guns; he took a bunch of keys out of his jacket pocket.

"Jiang Sen!" He tossed the keys over. "Go get some men and guns!"

Jiang Sen didn't ask why he was being called there; he turned and ran, with the others following closely behind.

After entering the wooden house, we opened the door to the sergeant's room, went inside, and then used a different key to open the cabinet.

Jiang Sen then noticed that there was a deeper section on either side of the cabinet, containing several guns.

Jiang Sen took one out and handed it to the back, taking one for himself as well.

He bent down and opened the wooden box below, which was full of bullet boxes. He took out two and handed them to the back, took one for himself, and stuffed two more into his left and right pockets.

Just as I was about to close the cabinet door, I spotted a row of hand grenades standing upright.

I hesitated for only a moment before taking two.

Lock the cabinet, grab the gun and run out, loading bullets into the gun as he runs.

With the firepower suppressing them, the wolf pack outside abandoned their carcasses and retreated.

But no one will be careless.

Now that these wolves have their eyes on this place, they won't leave empty-handed. Instead, they will wait for an opportunity to launch another attack.

After leaving a few men to keep watch at the fence, Sui Zhongliang led his men back to the front of the wooden house.

"Take a short rest!" he ordered, then, hearing more gunfire behind him, he added, "Jiang Sen, Wang Haiyang, go provide support!"

Everyone was exhausted but also excited. After sitting down, some cleaned their guns, while others repaired their axes.

Feng Chao hid on the side of the wooden house, his eyes darting around. He immediately ran to the stove to start a fire, and then ran to the water vat to scoop up some water.

After the water boiled, I immediately went to fill everyone's kettles, taking on the main responsibility of logistical support.

No matter what his purpose was, no one would delve into it; they would only think he was very thoughtful.

Their attitude towards him has changed quite a bit.

Liu Hongzhi looked at Feng Chao's actions, curled his lip in disdain, squatted down, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.

The gunfire stopped, and Big Liu, speaking in a loud voice, led his men back.

Feng Chao quickly brought them hot water.

Jiang Sen didn't care whether he was trying to impress or being obsequious, and drank half a pot of water, which Feng Chao then refilled.

Jiang Sen looked at him, and Feng Chao grinned at him before continuing to refill water for others.

Sui Zhongliang smoked a cigarette and waited until everyone was seated before speaking.

"The heavy snow came early, and the wolves have run out of food, so they've set their sights on us. Everyone must be vigilant. The people patrolling the fence will change shifts every two hours."

Da Liu grunted in agreement. "I'll assign everyone to their shifts."

Jiang Sen listened as Da Liu divided the students into classes according to their numbers.

He and Wang Haiyang were grouped with several other educated youth.

Basically, each class needs to have two guns.

Sui Zhongliang turned to Jiang Sen and asked, "How many guns were issued? How many boxes of ammunition?"

Jiang Sen quickly handed over the keys. "Six guns, four boxes of ammunition, and..." He pulled two grenades out of his pocket.

Sui Zhongliang chuckled, took it, and put it in his pocket. "You little rascal, you're hiding something? Why didn't you throw it away earlier?"

"I didn't dare!"

"Alright!" Sui Zhongliang said, looking at the men with guns, "You guys, report on the ammunition situation."

Wang Haiyang sat down next to Jiang Sen and asked in a low voice, "Are there any bullets left?"

"Did you apply the lighting?" Jiang Sen asked.

"Those few shots, they've all been fired already."

Jiang Sen turned to look at Sui Zhongliang, took out an unopened box of bullets from his pocket, and handed it to him, saying, "Save it."

Wang Haiyang smiled.

This was the first time Jiang Sen had ever seen him smile. He was quite sunny. Why did he always have that creditor's face?

It was like someone owed him money.

Wang Haiyang took out a bullet, chambered it, and held it in his arms with the muzzle pointing upwards.

How do you know how to shoot?

Jiang Sen didn't look up and mumbled, "I used to hang out with the militia members when the neighborhood organized a big competition."

Wang Haiyang did not ask any further questions.

Jiang Sen asked, "How did you know that?"

"Me?" Wang Haiyang said nonchalantly, "My father is in the army. He drills me all the time. I can handle rifles, machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns!"

Jiang Sen had already guessed that he came from a military compound, but he was still somewhat surprised to hear him say it himself.

"Shouldn't you have joined the army? What are you doing here?"

"Don't even mention it!" Wang Haiyang seemed somewhat dejected. "I was originally going to join the army, but one day on the road I saw a few guys dragging a girl into a grove of trees, so I went up and beat them up, rescuing the girl. But when the police investigated, the girl denied it, saying she had nothing to do with it. She just happened to be there when I was fighting with those thugs. My father was furious and said he didn't need to give him face, and that we should deal with it however we wanted. I was so angry at the time that I just said I was going to the countryside."

Jiang Sen was dumbfounded.

But looking back at his own past life, he was even more wronged than him.

"And you?" Once the conversation started, Wang Haiyang became quite talkative.

Jiang Sen didn't answer, but instead asked, "Your military compound isn't far from our equipment factory. Haven't you heard about the guy whose brother cheated on him, making it public knowledge?"

Wang Haiyang stared at Jiang Sen with his mouth agape, and it took him a while to realize what was happening. "Holy crap! You're not talking about me, are you?! I was wondering why your name sounded so familiar after I arrived! So you're that awesome guy!"

Jiang Sen chuckled self-deprecatingly, "What's so great about that? If I hadn't resisted, I would be the one ending up in jail!"

"Hey! What exactly happened? Tell me!"

On the other end, Da Liu, having already assigned shifts, shouted, "Alright, those of you not on shifts, take a break! The wolf pack won't give up after just one attack, everyone must remain vigilant!"

The educated youth stood up sparsely and walked towards the tents.

Jiang Sen also asked Wang Haiyang to take it back.

Sui Zhongliang stopped him, "Jiang Sen, stay here! And you two too!" He pointed at Liu Hongzhi and Feng Chao.

"I'm going back now! Let me know when it's time to change shifts!" Wang Haiyang said goodbye to Jiang Sen and left.

Jiang Sen didn't move, watching Liu Hongzhi and Feng Chao walk over from the side.

Jiang Sen was a little confused as to why the squad leader had kept the three of them behind.

But then he noticed that both of them had injuries on their faces, and the injuries looked like they had been beaten.

Did something happen to me that I don't know about while I was away?

Before Sui Zhongliang could speak, Dashanzi came out and said, "Squad leader, Xiao Ma is awake!"

"Understood!" Sui Zhongliang replied, but did not go over. Instead, he looked at Liu Hongzhi and Feng Chao.

"Now, take this opportunity to write your own self-criticisms! There's no time to write them down."

Jiang Sen was completely bewildered.

These two people, one has only been here for two or three days, and the other for only one day, what are they doing making self-criticisms?

What did they do?

"Let me go first!" Feng Chao raised his hand.

"Alright, go ahead!" Sui Zhongliang sat down, took out a cigarette, lit it, and slowly smoked it.

“I was wrong!” Feng Chao said. “I shouldn’t have started fighting with my comrades as soon as I arrived. If I had any complaints, I could have raised them face to face or reported them to the squad leader. I should have refrained from retaliating verbally or physically. Fighting back not only wouldn’t solve the problem, but it would also escalate the conflict, undermine unity, and damage the spirit of the educated youth who came to the countryside for training. I was wrong! I should have upheld the fighting spirit of not being afraid of hardship or fatigue. There are still so many people who don’t have food to eat. My little grievance is really nothing…”
