The military officer leading the group went upstairs into the office, closed the door, and a bunch of them were all secretive for half a day. An hour or so later, the team officer and an instructor came down together, boarded the bus, and left without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when they left just as everyone’s fragrant bento meals arrived, they didn’t even spare a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those disregarded by others must have gone to eat at a restaurant outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching that Yaxing air-conditioned coach, the soldiers all had this kind of thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made them feel as if relatives had arrived at their rundown home, and while they worried about accommodating them and whether there would be enough room, the visitors say they’ve already booked a five-star hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really damn...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other matter that caught their attention was that Lin Chong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who are you, who the hell are you? Could it be that Arale who loves playing with poop?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the afternoon, at Datian Bay Stadium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chongqing’s old stadium, built under the auspices of Marshal He Long, the first director of the National Sports Commission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marshal even played soccer here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an area of 180 acres, 1.5 times the size of the main campus of Sichuan Conservatory of Music, it was quite big. Standing there, one could feel as if they had entered a competition arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a vast playground, the air was filled with loud exclamations of \"damn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s usually quite lively here. The 52-year-old stadium holds the memories of several generations of Chongqing residents. Today being Wednesday, there weren’t many people exercising or playing, but still a good hundred or so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing each figure sprinting across the field in camouflage shorts, some of the local spectators were dumbstruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed at which they ran seemed like the wind to regular folks but to those with a little more professional insight or who had served in the military...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was even more astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where the hell did this flock of speedsters come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>... I’ve only been discharged for a few years, and the troops are now this fierce?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two in front, chasing each other with oxygen cylinders, have left the third-place by more than a hundred meters. Whose command are they under?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai in the middle, pressed on hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group was truly fast, and their endurance was top-notch. His recovery ability, in this abnormal group, hardly held any advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bit embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they set out from the compound, the pull-up test had already failed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Lin Chong turned out to be a massive suppressor that day, executing perfectly standard pull-ups without any assistance or momentum, straight up and down, managing a total of 97.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>eight more than Number 20 from the Yunnan Team, who was the runner-up at the first National Grand Martial Arts Competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number 11 from the Hunan General Team was tough too, with 82 pull-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came in fourth with 77 pull-ups, having given it his all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dismounting, he was even complimented by a few instructors who remarked that the Guizhou Brigade had produced a talent this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those from the Guizhou Brigade clapped vigorously for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai didn’t know where to put his embarrassed face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out his fourth place was already beyond others’ expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is always someone better out there, he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming out, everyone was amazed. The ones who had won prizes at the national competitions checked on the bus, and no one had seen this Lin Chong before, confirming he hadn’t participated in any of the previous competitions, and that he was likely not even from the Southwest Firefighting Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Motherfucker, the pressure from an unknown master is immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Lin Chong was in the lead again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number 20 from the Yunnan Team was also extremely fast, trailing Lin Chong by just a body length. Fang Huai guessed that even if his foot hadn’t been injured, he probably could only have aimed for third place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this afternoon, catching up was even less likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai had already pushed himself in the warm-up before the start of the race, striving to ignore the pain from his foot injury, but he couldn’t make it to the front runners and could only keep up with the pace of the first dozen or so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only in the final lap, when everyone was drenched in sweat and gasping for breath, that Fang Huai, who had kept a slower pace, still had some strength left. He sped up dramatically once his body was fully warmed up, and only then did he break into the top ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Number 1, tenth place, 16 minutes 59 seconds!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Fang Huai crossed the finish line, his whole body felt almost burning hot. He leaned on his knees, gasping for air, while cursing in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the fuck, they’re all top scorers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What time did the first and second runners get?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing he did upon reaching the finish line was to ask Kui Li, who was recording the times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Kui Li was about to answer with a smile, Hu Peizhou beside him held down his scorebook and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just remember you’re 250 meters behind them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he looked at Fang Huai’s foot, asking, \"Is your foot really injured?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai clenched his jaw. Remembering Lin Chong’s contemptuous look that day and the crushing he had suffered all afternoon, with Hu Peizhou playing coy here, a flicker of anger in his heart was beginning to ignite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guess,\" Fang Huai retorted, and then walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Peizhou wasn’t upset. Watching Fang Huai’s retreating figure, he remarked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soldier... there’s no limit to your potential.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kui Li, on the other hand, gave Hu Peizhou a sidelong glance and coughed, \"You’re calling in Chen Qingzhao to press them, isn’t that cheating? Our team isn’t lacking talented people. Deng Li, Hu Zongzhang, you could have called them. Honestly, I still don’t know why you brought in this freak Chen Qingzhao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Peizhou laughed and shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn’t me who called him. As for Chen Qingzhao, heh, well, it’s good that I invited him. I wanted these youngsters to gain some experience and have something to strive for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our firefighting department’s future development will be completely different from the traditional unified approach of the past troops.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having good physical fitness is not enough. We also need a large number of knowledgeable, open-minded leaders with a diverse set of professional skills. This will undoubtedly be the new direction of Firefighting development. Not only multifaceted but also highly proficient in practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We must preserve the intensity of Physical Training and deepen the breadth of skill training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squadron of Chen Qingzhao represents just such an approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The methods may differ, but one method can lead to mastery in all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To achieve the desired effect, we must first break through their mental barriers. I’m afraid these guys might think they can’t do it, so I specifically asked Chen Qingzhao to come and speak from experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took quite an effort to invite him, initially I wanted to invite Wang Yongfa from their squadron, but he was too busy. Chen Qingzhao really is the most suitable candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a pity, what with the Olympics taking place this year, the whole country is busy. Otherwise, my preferred training subjects would be those elite grass-roots officers; they are the future of the firefighters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Peizhou sighed deeply and looked at Kui Li, whose expression seemed only half understanding, and couldn’t help but smile. He wondered why he had bothered to explain in such detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, if Fang Huai were here and heard the name \"Wang Yongfa,\" he would probably be shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A name he mentioned casually would later shock many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, wait until after the 100-meter test, then assemble and get ready to leave,\" Hu Peizhou said as he watched the last person reach the finish line, then gave the order with hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave? We’re starting today?\" Kui Li was somewhat confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Peizhou nodded and laughed, \"Yes, this group’s overall physical quality is stronger than the previous two groups. Strong men have their own way of training, did you think I’d let them enjoy themselves here for three days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought at the earliest we’d leave tomorrow! Why didn’t you tell me earlier if we were leaving today? I haven’t packed my things yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Hu Peizhou said somewhat displeased:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your bag is already packed and put on the vehicle! Who asked you to join their training?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re an instructor, you didn’t show up for the meeting this morning, and instead, you were enthusiastically training downstairs. I think you might as well join them as a trainee. It’s just right to train you too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are also a standard-bearer for your Detachment, an old squad leader, yet you haven’t gained a bit of understanding after two periods. This time, you’ll also participate in all skill training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, isn’t this too much?... I’m fine with everything else, but I can’t swim!\" Kui Li’s face immediately fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Peizhou was about to lecture him, but remembering that everything he had said earlier had no effect, he said with a cold face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can’t, then drown!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, everyone assembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were panting heavily, eying Chen Qingzhao standing next to Hu Peizhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s damn tough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did Captain Hu dredge up such a creature? First in the horizontal bar test, arrived at the same time as Number 20 from the Yunnan Team in the five kilometers, and only slightly behind in the 100 meters at 10.58 seconds, the national secondary athlete standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone has their specialty, which is understandable, but this guy is awesome, he has been boasting since the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could one boast with such all-around ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai below felt an unprecedented pressure. This man’s physical strength was too strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qingzhao did not intend to let Fang Huai off, who had just arrived and challenged an instructor. He looked at the training book and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Number 1, don’t come to challenge the instructor anymore. Number 20, you’re welcome to challenge me anytime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some unrest began to stir in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, everyone was on Fang Huai’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy’s words stung. So what if Number 1 wanted to challenge the instructor? The Troops encourage challenges; it’s one of the traditional virtues, a source of progress!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But respecting the strong is also their custom. Facing such an abnormal person, everyone could only swear in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai’s jaw tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Class Merit at the military merit shop, which he had tried repeatedly, refused to budge on his core strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, he seriously felt the System was slacking off. Having trained for half a year, always thinking about training and never slacking off, yet he was still comprehensively crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this time, he thought that in terms of training, as long as the Grand Martial Arts Competition was over, he could stop pushing himself so hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he considered himself too weak. To crush everyone, to crush this Lin Chong, that was his new goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to think of a way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no time for contemplation, as Hu Peizhou succinctly began speaking, leaving no room for thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone get on the bus, prepare your bags, and begin official training!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Official training?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting training now after just running five kilometers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mountain Cat, standing behind Hu Peizhou, laughed: \"The trainees from the previous two periods would probably be envious of you, getting to go on a journey so early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A journey? You’re calling marching a journey?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, however, many were no longer in the mood for sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had hidden some private goods in certain compartments of their bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly backup cell phones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kidding me, banning phones has always been a big problem in the Troops. Doesn’t everyone have relatives and friends and girlfriends?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>days, one and a half months. What would be the state of affairs if someone had a girlfriend and didn’t contact her for 45 days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, wearing physical fitness short sleeves, they didn’t even have a bag on them, and anything on their person would be seen at a glance, so they all hid their phones in their bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had food in their bags as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly snacks bought in Chongqing, some of which were not finished, or local specialties. Although the notice forbade it, no one took it seriously, and everyone brought a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing snacks, what’s the harm? Can you punish me for that? If it really comes to it, I’ll just eat them on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly, nobody cared and even carried a packaging bag with them, placed next to their own bag, but as soon as they heard that even meals were restricted, everyone quickly hid these things, ready to enjoy them when they couldn’t bear the hunger anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no cigarettes, as nearly none of these physically top-tier individuals smoked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Peizhou looked at the somewhat panicked crowd and smiled, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right face! Target, the entrance of the gymnasium; marching, march!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2317,"2026-06-02T10:16:52.043Z",1,"novelbin.me","b4d446121cabfecef618d07a7f6e4f3978137a1fb6cc611a695c6df32ee47324","after-being-reborn-i-became-a-firefighter-again-chapter-444","after-being-reborn-i-became-a-firefighter-again-chapter-442",807,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-being-reborn-i-became-a-firefighter-again-cover.jpg"]
