Chapter 1: Training

Li Xiangshang brought Zhan Xiagege to a soldier in his forties. He was only about 170 centimeters tall and seemed to have suffered from hunger as a child with poor nutrition. Standing there, his thin legs and shoulders as if cut by a knife made Zhan Xiagege think of the utility poles standing on both sides of the camp corridor.
"Captain Zhu Jianjun, a veteran sniper, participated in the Vietnam War in 1980 and killed a total of forty-five enemy officers and soldiers on the battlefield. He once served as an instructor in an armed police battalion, carried out 28 sniper missions, fired 21 shots, and killed 21 targets! ”
Zhu Jianjun sized up Zhanxiage with his cobra-like eyes, then suddenly said to Li Xiangshang, "You're recruiting elite trainees nationwide, so why do the people you send get worse and worse every year?" Next time, could you bring me something a little more human? ”
Zhan Xiage couldn't help but widen his eyes. Li Xiangshang glanced at him and said, "This is already the best I can find." ”
Zhu Jianjun snorted, looked at Zhanxiage, and said, "You don't need to tell me your name. A real sniper doesn't have a name." You're the fourth trash I've trained with, so from now on I'll call you number four. ”
Zhu Jianjun suddenly lifted his leg and kicked Zhan Xiaoge hard in the abdomen. Zhan Xiaoge bent over, but he quickly gritted his teeth and straightened up again.
"I've finally found a little advantage in this trash of yours. At least you're a decent punching bag, and you can barely keep your mouth shut." Zhu Jianjun glared at Zhan Xiaga and said coldly, "Do you know why I kicked you just now?" ”
Zhanxiage shook his head. Without another word, Zhu Jianjun gave him another hard kick on the butt. "Remember, when you face me, you can only say two things. The first is, Instructor!" The second sentence: Understood, Instructor! This is the first rule I set for you. If you break it, I'll beat you up hard! ”
Zhanxiage took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Understood, Instructor!" ”
"Mm!" Zhu Jianjun nodded and said to Li Xiangshang, "I'll just keep this trash for now. I've been bored lately, so torturing trash is a good way to relax." ”
"The three pieces of trash sent earlier, although a bit rotten, at least have been trained by others and have become somewhat human. But you, the worst of trash, haven't even undergone proper training, have you?"
"Yes, Instructor!"
"It seems we need to start from scratch. I'm really puzzled—how could Li Xiangshang's judgment keep getting worse, and in the end, he's dropped to your level? But as your instructor, I have to welcome you. I've already prepared a dormitory for you. Come with me. ”
"Understood, Instructor!"
Zhanxiage followed Zhu Jianjun through the campus and reached a corner of the playground. In one corner, there was a space of over ten square meters surrounded by fences and wire nets, where more than twenty pigeons were comfortably basking in the sun. Zhu Jianjun somehow grabbed a handful of broken grains and scattered them into the loft, where the pigeons were all joyful. Hearing a pleasant jingling sound, Zhanxiage realized that each of these pigeons had a delicate little bell tied to their feet.
"From now on, you'll sleep here. Remember, be quiet at night and don't disturb my baby!"
Zhan Xiaoge's eyes widened. Seeing Zhu Jianjun's right leg move slightly, he immediately shouted, "Understood, Instructor!" ”
"Remember, you're just a guest staying here; the pigeons are the real hosts. If you dare disturb my darlings, as soon as I hear their protests, I'll kick your butt hard!" If the pigeons don't tell you to touch their things, you absolutely must not touch them! Without their permission, you must not use the excuse of helping with cleaning to disturb their normal daily life! ”
He assigned Zhan Xia Ge a "main room" with only a pigeon cage and no roof, and Zhu Jianjun strode away, leaving only Zhan Xia Ge standing dumbfounded beside the cage, staring at each other with more than twenty pigeons.
Suddenly, a probing voice came from behind: "Song of the Battle Hero?!"
