"Squat down!"

"Stand up! Get in bed in 30 seconds!"

"Put on your hats and belts, and assemble!"

"Squat down!"

"Stand up! Get in bed in 30 seconds!"

"gather!"

. . .

In the following time, Du Hu began to repeatedly issue orders, and the new recruits got up and down like puppets, dressed and undressed, squatted and stood up.

Everyone was exhausted and gradually became numb.

Xu Ge no longer cared about the lines of prompts on the token; he only knew that his queue skill was rapidly leveling up.

In the darkness, Du Hu issued cold commands one after another, as if this rectification had no end.

Finally, when Du Hu issued the order for everyone to assemble once again, some people couldn't take it anymore.

Bang!
A muffled thud came from the upper bunk opposite Xu Ge; someone had slammed their fist on the bed board.

"Qi Ruibiao, what do you want to do?"

Du Huteng stood up abruptly and went to Qi Ruibiao, who had just gotten out of bed.

"I didn't do anything!" Qi Ruibiao's tone was somewhat irritated.

Du Hu stared at him: "You're not convinced?"

"I just don't accept it!"

Qi Ruibiao seemed to have given up entirely, and his voice rose, "It was clearly Li Dongshui and Xu Ge who made the mistake, so why should we be punished along with them?"

Du Hu: "Who told you tonight's crackdown was because of Li Dongshui and Xu Ge? Can I say it's because your backpack came apart?"

Not only Qi Ruibiao, but all the other new recruits, including Xu Ge, were stunned when they heard this.

But Qi Ruibiao was quick-witted and immediately realized something: "I don't believe it. So many people's backpacks came apart during the run tonight! Also, you apologized to the second and third squad leaders at the gate earlier, saying you dragged them into this. It must be because of those two..."

"I insist that it's because of you."

"You're deliberately messing with us!"

"Yeah, we're deliberately messing with you guys, what can you do about it?" Du Hu said calmly. "If you can't stand it, you can get out now. The instructor said you can leave before the rank conferment."

Qi Ruibiao fell silent.

"What, you're afraid? Or do you know that being forced to retreat is a shameful thing?"

Du Hu returned to his bed and sat down. "If you're too scared, then get over here and squat down!"

Qi Ruibiao glared hatefully at Xu Ge and Li Dongshui's positions, then obediently squatted down in the queue.

Du Hu, however, had no intention of letting him go, and said, "Listen up, all of you. I had originally planned to let you go and end this here."

However, because Qi Ruibiao publicly disobeyed orders and refused to submit to management, the rectification will continue tonight!

"Everyone, stay in position! If anyone moves, we'll extend the time, all the way until dawn!"

"If any of you are as dissatisfied as Qi Ruibiao, just say so. I can report it to the authorities tonight, and a car will come to take you back to your hometown first thing tomorrow morning!"

The new recruits squatted silently in place.

"What, you know that being discharged is a shameful thing? Let me tell you frankly, in our army's eyes, a soldier who is discharged not because of health reasons is no different from a deserter. It's the most cowardly and pathetic thing a man can do!"

. . .

. . .

And so, the recruits trembled and squatted on the ground in the darkness, and no one dared to move unless Du Hu spoke.

Nobody wants to cause overtime because of their own mistakes.

After an unknown amount of time, just when Xu Ge's ankle was hurting so much that he dared not even breathe properly, the dormitory door was pushed open.

A sergeant stood at the door and whispered, "Du Hu, it's 1:45. Time to go to the armory to collect your gun."

"Okay, I understand!" Du Hu nodded.

Xu Ge's heart immediately stirred with excitement. He remembered that Du Hu was on guard duty tonight, from two to four o'clock!
However, this also means that the crackdown has lasted for nearly two hours.

"Consider yourselves lucky."

Du Hu stood up and began putting on the equipment needed for his guard duty, saying, "Get to bed in 10 seconds!"

Hurala!
The recruits, ignoring the numbness and pain in their legs, scrambled onto their beds one after another.

"Be alert while you're sleeping, I might come back and start pulling the troops again!" After saying this, Du Hu left, his footsteps quickly disappearing into the corridor. Apart from heavy breathing, no one in the dormitory uttered a sound.

Xu Ge lay wearily on the bed, sensing that his mind had been filled with a lot of information about queues. He summoned his token and looked at it; it was covered with dense prompts indicating that his queue proficiency had increased.

"Queue: LV2 (53/199)"

In just two hours of this tidying up, my proficiency increased by nearly 100 points. I wonder how much more actual training that would be equivalent to...

"Xu Ge, I'm so sorry!"

Just as Xu Ge was lost in thought while looking at the token, he heard Li Dongshui's apology from beside him.

"Go to sleep early, and don't do it again next time," Xu Ge replied softly.

After all this commotion, his anger towards Li Dongshui has subsided considerably.

"Okay!" Li Dongshui responded.

pat!

From the upper bunk came the sound of a soda can being opened, followed by the sound of gulping water.

Seemingly inspired by Kaiyoumu's commotion, the dormitory suddenly became lively.

One by one, the new recruits got up and started looking for water. Xu Ge felt something cool being handed to him. He touched it and found it was a bottle of sparkling water, handed to him by Li Dongshui.

"Squad leader, are you asleep?" Zhou Meng's voice rang out in the darkness.

"what?"

"I overheard the squad leader telling the second and third squad leaders that he was going to treat them to barbecue skewers!"

Zhou Meng seemed to slurp his saliva. "Where can we buy barbecue skewers around here? I didn't see any at the convenience store."

Everyone was very curious about Zhou Meng's question and immediately perked up their ears.

Kaiyoumu said with a smile, "Red willow kebabs? Of course, the convenience store doesn't have them. You'll have to order delivery."

Li Dongshui immediately followed up with, "Squad leader, do you even have takeout in this godforsaken place?"

Kaiyumu: "Have you heard of the powerful military vehicle?"

"no!"

"You'll see when you get there; they sell everything."

"Deputy squad leader..."

"Stop talking, everyone get to sleep, or the squad leader will come back from his shift and drag you out!"

The dormitory fell silent instantly.

Xu Ge closed his eyes, his mind filled with Du Hu's repeated orders. Just thinking about how he had felt squatting there made him shudder with fear, and he really didn't want to experience it again.

At three in the morning, the dormitory was filled with the sounds of snoring. After all that commotion, everyone was sound asleep.

Xu Ge had already fallen asleep.

In the dream, after Du Hu returned from his patrol, he indeed started calling an emergency assembly again.

"Everyone, put on your hats and belts, and assemble!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, immediately waking the sleeping recruits.

Hurala!
Everyone reflexively jumped out of bed, quickly dressed, and lined up in front of Du Hu's bed.

To everyone's surprise, Du Hu's bed was empty, while Xu Ge in the next bed was fast asleep.

Li Dongshui, still half-asleep, asked uncertainly, "Was that Xu Ge calling for the assembly just now?"

Kaiyoumu stepped forward and slapped Xu Ge on the forehead: "You little brat, are you whistling with your buttocks while you're sleeping?"

Xu Ge was awakened by the slap. He sat up groggily and was startled to find a row of people standing by his bed.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you say?"

The recruits looked annoyed. "Who told you to talk in your sleep?"

"Damn it, it's one thing to talk in your sleep, but why are you shouting 'assemble'?"

Xu Ge was a little confused: "Why are you calling for a gathering..."

The next moment he froze. The token automatically appeared and flipped to the back, displaying a message.
