Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Please Call Her Little Smart! Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Please Call Her Little Smart! “Ding ding ding… Look what I brought? A children’s phone watch, I’m smart, right? I knew phones might be confiscated during military training, so I prepared it in advance. The only problem might be charging it, but I heard it can last 21 days on standby, so it should be okay if used sparingly. I’ve got a tip-off that we might be doing field training this time, and in case something happens, we can contact each other with the watch. Just be careful not to get caught!” After saying that, she quickly stuffed the watch into Sheng Chuyi’s pocket.
Although the instructor said no phones, tablets, or other electronic devices were allowed, wearing a watch on the wrist should not be easily noticeable.
Sometimes Sheng Chuyi really admires her way of thinking.
Children’s phone watch, how did she even come up with that?
Shen Zhaozhao: Please call her little Miss Clever!
The assembly whistle sounded once again.
Shen Zhaozhao waved to Sheng Chuyi and said, “You better get back!” After speaking, she shook her wrist at him and mouthed, “If there’s an issue, contact me with the watch.”
Sheng Chuyi was filled with helpless resignation.
The first thing after being assigned to the dorms, they saw the instructor standing at the dormitory door with a storage box saying, “Put all your communication devices like mobile phones, tablets, computers, and so on in here. Also, if you’ve secretly brought any snacks, hand them over now.”
Shen Zhaozhao handed over her phone without hesitation. As for snacks, although reluctant, she still surrendered the two bags of chips she had stashed away.
Military camp life officially started.
The first day was for tidying up, the second for physical training, the third for learning to shoot, the fourth for drill training…
The military training concluded with a two-day field exercise.
Some students, like Shen Zhaozhao, had already heard the rumors in advance and were not too surprised, but many others were unaware until they heard about going up the mountain and camping out, prompting them to complain, “I heard that the upperclassmen from the previous year didn’t even come to the military camp, let alone have field training. Why is it so rough for us?”
“Walking 20 kilometers, my legs are going to be dead, right?”
“So many mosquitoes in the mountains, won’t we be eaten alive staying overnight?”
“I’ve never cooked before in my life, will it even be edible if I do it myself?”
“Since we’re camping in the mountains, what about the camping gear? They’re not actually planning to make us carry it there ourselves, are they?”
For a while, there was a buzz of discussion among everyone.
The main purpose of the field training was to toughen their will and challenge themselves. Besides the 20-kilometer hike up the mountain, they also had to learn wilderness survival skills, set up their own campsites, cook, and spend the night on the mountain before coming down the next day.
“Don’t worry, there will be vehicles to take everything you need to the foot of the mountain,” the instructor said. “All you need to do is muster your spirits and hike to the base of the mountain.”
The 20 kilometers took a good five to six hours to walk, leaving everyone exhausted and hungry, but fortunately, everyone persevered.
At the foot of the mountain, the coach addressed the new recruits who were almost too worn out to stand, “Here’s a list of groups; in a bit, you’ll be divided according to the names on this list. Someone will teach you how to cook using pots; pay attention and learn well. Whether you eat your fill tonight depends entirely on yourselves.”
“That’s not fair, the girls can definitely cook, what about us boys?” someone raised an objection.
Shen Zhaozhao: Who said that? She can’t cook.
The instructor’s voice continued: “Of course, you can also cooperate as a group. It’s enough if two people in each group learn how to cook, the rest can go and gather firewood.”
