Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Cheng Cai lifted the lid, grinning at the two of them. "Look, what's this?"

As he spoke, he held up a stainless steel basin and showed it to the two of them. Inside the basin were seven or eight plump, white steamed buns.

Off-screen, the moment the large white steamed bun appeared, Yuan Lang clicked his tongue a few times, "Look, the soldiers in the fifth squad are really good at cooking. These large white steamed buns look delicious."

Gao Cheng immediately perked up. Although Yuan Lang didn't say anything, his tone didn't sound like he was saying anything nice, and at that moment, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

On the screen, Cheng Cai continued pointing at the steamed buns and said, "I've criticized these kids for their bad habits many times before. They make several days' worth of food in one day."

But looking at it now, this quirk is just, just so adorable.

As he spoke, Cheng Cai took a steamed bun, put it to his nose, and smelled it intensely.

After saying that, he handed the steamed bun to Wu Liuyi with a big smile, "Here, old soldier, this is to repay you for your breakfast today. Without it, the three of us would have collapsed long ago."

Seeing that Wu Liuyi didn't react at all, he simply handed him the steamed bun. "Here, take this, Sanduo."

After tossing Xu Sanduo a steamed bun, Cheng Cai eagerly picked up another one. Just as he was about to take a bite, seeing that the two of them weren't making any move, Cheng Cai urged them impatiently, "Eat up, eat up."

Off-screen, Gao Cheng's heart was in his throat, and even Yuan Lang looked at the three people on the screen with a strange expression.

Only Zhang Anbang continued to watch the three of them with a smile, and even took out a handful of plum-flavored melon seeds from his pocket and started cracking them open.

"Hey, I'm telling you, eating alone isn't a good habit," Yuan Lang said, grabbing half of the food from Zhang Anbang's hand as soon as he heard the noise.

"Hey, how could that be, Company Commander? What are you thinking? I just took it out," Zhang Anbang said, stretching out his hand. "Company Commander, have some, plum flavored, it tastes quite unique."

"Go away, go away," Gao Cheng slapped Zhang Anbang's hand impatiently. He had no interest in eating sunflower seeds right now. He wished he could jump into the screen and yell at the three of them, "Don't fucking eat them! You're being watched!"

Unfortunately, he could only think that to himself.

On the screen, Cheng Cai had just brought the steamed bun to his mouth when he saw that the two of them still didn't react. He took the bun down again and said, "Eat up, what's wrong with you two?"

Xu Sanduo's voice wasn't loud, but it was firm: "We shouldn't eat this."

Wu Liuyi nodded heavily. "Sanduo is right."

Cheng Cai was very unhappy. He held up the big white steamed bun in his hand and said, "Hey, why shouldn't I eat it?"

Xu Sanduo stared intently at Cheng Cai, "Suppose the enemy is in a desolate wilderness, what would we do without this? So we shouldn't eat it; eating it would be cheating."

Wu Liuyi stood to the side with his eyes closed, trying to move the steamed bun in his hand as far away as possible, swallowing hard.

"Hahaha," Gao Cheng laughed heartily off-screen. Watching Wu Liuyi's actions and Xu Sanduo's words, he knew that the matter was settled.

That's just Wu Liuyi's personality; he does everything decisively and rarely hesitates. His actions clearly show that he definitely won't eat it.

Xu Sanduo is a stubborn person, so if he said that, he definitely wouldn't eat it.

As for Cheng Cai, with the reorganization of the Seventh Company, his impression of Cheng Cai is no longer the same as before, but at most he is just an ordinary soldier.

He's human too, how could he not have any resentment? If it weren't for the half-month he spent guarding the barracks with Xu Sanduo in the Steel Seventh Company, he probably wouldn't have any feelings about Cheng Cai now.

He patted Zhang Anbang on the shoulder, "Here, give me some, I want to try your plum-flavored melon seeds."

In fact, not only Gao Cheng, but even Yuan Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Among the non-commissioned officers in this pilot program, he had the highest hopes for Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi. Seeing their performance, he was naturally very satisfied.

He raised an eyebrow at Zhang Anbang. "Hmm, your sunflower seeds taste pretty good."

"Haha, that's right," Zhang Anbang laughed as well. To be honest, he also admired Wu Liuyi and Xu Sanduo's choice. Back then, he didn't have this thing for wilderness survival.

But during this long-distance raid, steamed buns appeared. To be able to avoid eating these big white steamed buns under these circumstances is, frankly, no less valuable than Old A's chemical plant assessment.

The chemical plant assessment for Old A is a passive test, testing a soldier's professionalism, composure, adaptability, and tactical skills in life-or-death situations. It tests whether a soldier can be a spearhead and whether he can carry out uncertain, high-risk missions at any time.

This seemingly insignificant large white steamed bun represents a voluntary choice, testing one's bottom line, honor, principles, and the soldier's backbone in dire straits, and whether one is worthy of being an upright soldier.

Old A recruits people. As long as you have a good physical foundation, you can train if you are not good at the profession. After all, there is no skill that Old Lu is not proficient in.

If you're feeling unsettled, they can work it out. They have plenty of methods; they not only have several psychologists, but they also have a whole set of techniques.

However, if one cannot uphold their bottom line and their character is compromised, then having greater abilities is not necessarily a good thing.

Gao Cheng, munching on sunflower seeds, raised an eyebrow at Yuan Lang and said, "Hmm, you're right, these sunflower seeds do taste pretty good."

On the screen, Cheng Cai was completely bewildered by Xu Sanduo's words. He pointed at Xu Sanduo with a steamed bun and said urgently, "Are you out of your mind? Where is this place? Who will know if we eat here?"

Gao Cheng pursed his lips. Who would know?

Instead of thinking things through, they realized that the Fifth Platoon's base on the grassland is the easiest place to get supplies within a 100-kilometer radius.

In some areas inhabited by herders, those participating in the selection process couldn't get close at all. If they did, they would be chased and driven away, as there were already reconnaissance battalions lying in ambush.

The five-class camp is currently being looked after by the three of them, Cheng Cai is still too young.

Wu Liuyi and Xu Sanduo put all the steamed buns back into the basin. Wu Liuyi looked at Cheng Cai and said, "Yes, but put them back."

Cheng Cai held up the steamed bun in his hand and said, "What's wrong with you two? You'd rather eat that rat meat this morning than this big white steamed bun."

Wu Liuyi tore off the tape from his cuff. Since they weren't going to spend the night outdoors, he figured he might as well take it off and relax. "That's different. Eating that will only make you feel nauseous for an hour at most, but eating this will make you feel nauseous for the rest of your life."

Cheng Cai was on the verge of a breakdown. "Yes, it's disgusting, I'm disgusted. You two are so noble, okay? I'm the bad guy, you two are the good guys. If you won't eat it, I will."

As he spoke, Cheng Cai put down the stainless steel basin, picked up a steamed bun, and said, "I'm telling you, I'll not only eat it, I'll also hoard it. When you're starving and can't walk anymore, I'll feed you both again. I'll eat it myself."

Cheng Cai stuffed a few steamed buns into his arms, picked up another one, and took a big bite.
