Siheyuan: I, Shazhu, started out as an army and became a general.

Over the next few days, the recruit training officially began.

Every morning at five o'clock, the reveille, loud enough to pierce eardrums, sounds precisely on time.

The new recruits sprang out of their beds like zombies, rushed out of the barracks in a daze, and assembled on the parade ground.

A five-kilometer cross-country run is my daily appetizer, without fail.

On the first day, most of the new recruits started to fall behind after running three kilometers, like dead dogs, and less than half of them were able to finish the whole race.

He Yuzhu, however, acted as if nothing had happened, running without breaking a sweat, and even had the leisure to look around, as if he were taking a stroll in his own backyard.

Chen Gang, riding his horse alongside the group, watched He Yuzhu's leisurely demeanor, his admiration growing stronger until it turned into suspicion.

"He Yuzhu!"

"arrive!"

"You little brat, trying to fool me? Deliberately hiding your true abilities, huh?"

He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat.

"Damn, this system even said 'the tallest tree in the forest stands out,' but it was seen through at a glance."

"Reporting to the company commander, there is nothing!"

"Bullshit!" Chen Gang cursed immediately. "At your current speed, you haven't even used half your strength!"

"Speed ​​up! Get to the front of the line!"

He Yuzhu cursed inwardly, but his face still showed a standard "yes".

He took a deep breath and suddenly exerted force with his legs.

It was as if he had a rocket booster installed in his butt; he shot off in a flash, leaving everyone in front of him as moving landmarks, easily leaving them behind.

"Holy crap! He...he's cheating, isn't he?"

"Is this guy even human? Even sprint champions aren't this fast!"

The recruits behind them stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape, as if they could fit an egg in them.

He Yuzhu raced at full speed, completing the five-kilometer run in less than eighteen minutes.

With these results, even professional track and field teams would be scrambling to get them!

Looking at He Yuzhu, who was running as if he had just come back from a walk and wasn't even out of breath, Chen Gang immediately made a decision in his mind.

This kid is definitely a diamond in the rough; we have to work hard to cultivate him!

The third day arrived in the blink of an eye, and it was time for shooting training.

The new recruits were taken to a makeshift shooting range on the hill behind the camp. It was called a shooting range, but it was really just a few pits dug on the hillside with a few straw targets in front of them.

Chen Gang stood at the front of the line, holding a gleaming rifle in his hand.

"These are Mosin-Nagant rifles provided by our elder brother; they'll be your weapons on the battlefield from now on!"

"Remember, shooting is a soldier's most basic skill!"

"If you can't shoot accurately, you'll just be a sitting duck for the enemy on the battlefield!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he skillfully raised his gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The target, 100 meters away, exploded into a cloud of dirt.

"Did you all see that clearly? This is the standard posture!"

"Now, come up one by one, five bullets each, and shoot at the stationary target 100 meters away!"

The new recruits were all excited and eager to get started.

Zhang Xiaowu was in front of He Yuzhu. He lay prone at the firing position and practiced aiming his gun for a long time, imitating the company commander.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After five shots were fired, the target marker waved his flag and shouted:

"Three shots missed, two hit the target, fifteen rings!"

Zhang Xiaowu walked back dejectedly, shaking his head: "This thing has too much recoil, it hurts my shoulders, and I can't aim at all."

Soon, it was He Yuzhu's turn.

He took the rifle, and the cold metallic texture and just the right weight gave him a sense of familiarity, as if they were connected by blood.

Almost the instant he touched the gun, the "king of soldiers" engine in his brain started up with a "whoosh".

Wind speed, humidity, ballistics, breathing rhythm... countless data streams instantly flooded the screen, as if an innate instinct had been completely awakened.

He lay down, raised his gun, and aimed.

The whole set of movements was as fast as lightning, full of violent aesthetics, and it was so cool it was unbelievable.

"Bang!"

First shot.

"Bang!"

Second shot.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Five bullets were fired in less than ten seconds.

He Yuzhu put down his gun and stood up decisively.

The target reporter at the other end of the range froze for several seconds before letting out a shriek in a split-voice voice, like a duck being choked:

"Five shots... all hit! 48 rings!"

The entire firing range fell into a deathly silence.

Forty-eight rings?

A perfect score of 50 rings! Is this the kind of score a green recruit could achieve?

Chen Gang suddenly sprang up from the stool and rushed to He Yuzhu in three quick steps.

"You've really never handled a gun before?"

"Reporting to the company commander, no, we don't! My family has a good class background!"

Chen Gang stared intently at him for a few seconds, his gaze seemingly trying to bore a hole through his face, then suddenly turned and roared:

"Binoculars! Get me the binoculars!"

A guard quickly handed him the binoculars.

Chen Gang raised his binoculars and looked at the target a hundred meters away.

The next second, his hands started to tremble.

Through the telescope, five bullet holes were densely packed around the bullseye, with three of the bullets having entered almost from the same hole!

Is this a fucking sharpshooter? This is a god of guns descended to earth!

Chen Gang threw down the binoculars, his face flushed with excitement, and pointed at He Yuzhu, shouting:

"He Yuzhu, you just wait! I'm going to the division headquarters right now to get reinforcements!"

"This little pond in the recruit camp can't hold a true dragon like you!"

He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a wild smile.

coming!

This is exactly what I've been waiting for!
