There was a noisy chirping in his ears, as if he was sitting in an outdoor coffee shop at the airport. The deafening noises launched fatal attacks one after another. Renly waved his hands subconsciously, trying to get rid of the irritability, but found that His muscles were so stiff that he couldn't move at all, which made him panic. But no matter how hard he tried and struggled, he couldn't move, not even a little finger. It was as if a ghost was pressing down on the bed..
“get up! gather！”
A thunderous sound exploded in his ears. Renly sat up straight and opened his eyes slightly. The dazzling light came in, making his pupils hurt. He closed his eyes hard, and then finally opened them again. After adapting to the light, several soldiers appeared in front of them. They roughly lifted everyone's sheets and shouted, "Gather! Gather."！”
Before they could come over, Renly quickly got off the bed. The pain from his thighs and arms almost made him suffocate. He gritted his teeth to keep from shouting. He put on his socks as quickly as possible. After thinking about it, he just decided I put on both pairs of socks, which could at least reduce a little friction, then put on my boots and stood up in a hurry..
Looking back, Lamy was also putting on his shoes at this time. James on the other side had also stood up, but two huge suitcases occupied the aisle, so his action of standing up was really funny. James and Renly exchanged glances, and he showed a helpless smile, "I don't think I can survive the last day..”
Renly couldn't help but smile, "This is only the first day..”
Several people quickly moved towards the outside of the barracks. The slogans in their ears became more and more severe and fierce. There was no sign of relaxing. Renly only had time to glance around with his peripheral vision. Richard was like A real corpse lay on the bed, without any movement. However, at this time, Renly had no time or energy to pay attention to the others, so he withdrew his gaze and ran out quickly..
The world outside is still dark, and the stars are shining down from the sky. It's so cold that people can't help but shiver. It's still midsummer, but it actually makes people feel like it's early winter..
It should be around two or three in the morning. It was not at all the six o'clock morning meeting as planned. Renly couldn't help but think of Tim's advice. Sure enough, Tim was not talking about the next nine days' itinerary. The first day was not even scheduled. There is no end, the long first day seems to have no end in sight.
Four-mile trail run with weights.
At three o'clock in the morning, he started a four-mile cross-country run with weights. He didn't even know whether he was carrying a gun or a rock in his backpack. Even the water bottle he carried felt like a burden - but luckily he kept a little sense. He didn't really throw the kettle away. Of course, he always felt that it was because he didn't even have the strength to throw the kettle away..
I don't know if it's because his muscles have been completely numb and the pain has been lost, or because after previous training, he has begun to initially adapt to such intensity, and his thoughts begin to slowly start to work again..
Renly knew that compared to those soldiers who had actually experienced war, what they were experiencing now was just drizzle. Even for the ten-day boot camp, this was just the beginning; but he still couldn't help but think. Look, after Eugene walked onto the battlefield with passion and passion, and saw the inhumane hell on earth, wasn’t it like this: from shock to nausea, to fear, to numbness, and finally to loss?.
It's like he just saw Richard.
Putting aside the trivial conflict between him and Richard, after reaching the extreme level of mental fatigue, he gradually began to lose the ability to feel the surroundings. Perhaps, what he lost at first was just fear, just like a forensic doctor or Like a policeman, after being exposed to death too much, he became accustomed to it; but slowly, those emotions that define human nature began to disappear. He could no longer feel the pain, he could not feel compassion for others, and he could no longer continue to strengthen his faith. He began to Become indifferent, become numb, become natural.
Renly clearly remembered a scene in "The Pacific War": Eugene pried open the dead man's mouth and dug out the gold teeth in the Japanese soldier's mouth..
Before this, Eugene had always rejected this behavior, and even felt nauseated and painful. This went against his belief: the deceased is already dead. At least the deceased should be given enough respect. There is no need to reveal the most humble and humble human nature for a little gold. The greediest and ugliest face. This also made him very repulsive to the indifferent Merrill Sheldon at the beginning, and the relationship between the two was far from friendly..
However, that day, Eugene's world finally collapsed. After the Japanese soldiers used pregnant civilians as suicide bombs, he seemed to have lost his mind and desperately wanted to pry open a corpse that had been dead for a long time and whose flesh and blood had begun to rot. The gold tooth inside was dug out. At that moment, the madness and paranoia were completely out of control..
At this moment, for the first time, Renly felt the struggle and collapse deep in Eugene's heart, as if his soul was being torn apart. However, this was just a small feeling that was difficult to describe accurately in words. , or in other words, people who have not really experienced the battlefield cannot truly experience the despair of disintegration. How painful this transformation is. The calm on the surface cannot see the vicissitudes of life in the heart. My heart can't help but feel a little heavy..
Renly couldn't help but think of Tim. Maybe, they could become friends and they could communicate. Tim could help him deeply understand the reality of those battlefields, which was different from the reality in books and movies..
Looking at Lamy and James who were standing side by side, they unknowingly became each other's partners. James grinned and said breathlessly, "I know I'm very attractive, but I'm not interested in men. "That joke made both Renly and Lamy laugh. Even a small circle of people next to them chuckled. Someone behind them said jokingly, "It's a pity that men don't like you either. Interested." At this time, everyone burst into laughter..
Apart from introducing themselves, they had no time to talk at all, but their familiarity with each other slowly spread in the air..
At least one thing, Renly was right. The boot camp was just the beginning. After the four-mile cross-country run with weights, they only got two hours of rest time before they started training again. Renly I don’t even remember what I had for breakfast, I just stuffed it into my mouth hungrily.
During the meal, Renly heard that there was no dinner in the entire camp last night, and everyone slept hungry all night. Renly originally thought that he was the only unlucky guy who missed dinner because he fell asleep. When he heard this After hearing the news, he regained his psychological balance, "At least I had a good sleep last night..”
James, who was sitting opposite, rolled his eyes to the back of his head..
The training on the second day was still long. In addition to the previous basic training, they also conducted simulated training on the real battlefield - just like playing field games with paintball guns, except that they were not holding paintball guns. It's a blank bullet. Although it won't hurt after being hit, the impact like a heavy hammer is enough to knock someone down..
What's even more frightening is that since this is the first time for actual combat training, everyone not only has no tacit understanding and works independently, but also has no tactics to speak of. Facing the enemy team composed of real soldiers, it only takes less than fifteen minutes to defeat them. The whole army was wiped out, but only two people on the other side were injured..
Before the start of the second round of training, the leading lieutenant formally explained the tactics to them, including analyzing the terrain, enemy formations, and the distribution of guns and ammunition. Everyone cooperated according to their position in the series. This One round of training still ended with the entire actor team being wiped out, but they persisted for thirty-five minutes and successfully knocked down three people from the opposing camp..
This is an improvement, albeit a very weak one.
In the evening, after the training for the 800-meter cross-country obstacle course, they finally got some rest time. Since entering the camp yesterday, they had hardly had a peaceful rest within 24 hours, so most of the actors thought , there should be no training tonight. But Renly has reservations about this..
Three hours later, the people in Barrack No. 3 were lying in pieces with limbs scattered in a dilapidated ruins, surrounded by wilderness. They had just been marching in the dark, not knowing the direction or the time. There is nothing to tell the direction except a compass.
The lieutenant stated that a night attack would begin in forty-five minutes..
Renly couldn't help but pull on his coat, but it didn't work at all. There were wind holes in all directions in the ruins, which looked like a sieve. The biting cold wind was everywhere. He just wore an underwear, a shirt and A coat cannot withstand the cold at all, but the ridiculous thing is that it is only July now, how ironic.
Turning his head, he looked at Lamy who was huddled in the corner. He held his backpack in his arms and curled up like a koala, trying to keep himself warm as much as possible. James sitting next to him was not much better. He took off his socks and put them on his hands like gloves. He was studying how to retract his hands into the cuffs..
Renly shook his head speechlessly, then took off his boots, took off a pair of socks, and handed them over. Seeing James' puzzled look, he explained, "When I set out, I wore two pairs of socks..”
James immediately widened his eyes in surprise, his expression looking a little funny in the moonlight, "Man, you are really my savior.".”
“Two cigarettes." Looking at James' extended hand, Renly put his socks back and said. On a real battlefield, it is normal for comrades to help each other, and the only thing they can circulate is cigarettes. Yes, this is a luxury product. Now, Renly has also brought this habit with him.
James grinded his teeth, grabbed the pair of socks, and then stuffed one into Lamy's arms, "A cigarette." Then he rolled up the remaining sock and stuffed it into his backpack. , and finally stuffed his feet directly in. The look was so funny that even Lamy couldn't help but raise his head..
In the cold wind, they are like dead leaves hanging on the branches in autumn, shivering but still unwilling to fall. This does feel a bit like a real battlefield..
