Chapter 177: Special New Recruits

Amidst the cursing and shouting of the Orcs outside the camp, several Two-legged Sheep were pushed into the center of the camp where an explosion had just occurred.

On the ground were bloodstains that had not yet dried and some parts that had not been cleaned up in time.

One Two-legged Sheep stepped on the charred finger of a previous Two-legged Sheep; seeing the only trace left behind by their kin on the ground, a sense of despair welled up in their heart, and their legs went weak, causing them to collapse to the ground.

The Orc driving the Two-legged Sheep from behind saw this, picked up the whip in their hand, and lashed it fiercely onto the back of this Two-legged Sheep, cursing as they did so.

"Damn Two-legged Sheep! Why are you sitting on the ground! Get up already!"

The whip in the Orc's hand kept lashing at this Two-legged Sheep, but the back of the Two-legged Sheep before them was already beaten to a bloody pulp, with a bit of flesh flying off with every lash; seeing that this Two-legged Sheep was about to be beaten to death, Maike said to the Orc warrior from a distance.

"That's enough, let the other Two-legged Sheep take him to the test site, don't waste time."

"Understood!"

Very quickly, this Two-legged Sheep was hoisted up by two of their own kin and, driven by the Orc behind them, arrived at the test site.

Not far away, an Orc warrior held the firearm that Maike had just engraved with a Rune; after these few Two-legged Sheep reached the designated spot, this Orc raised the Rifle in their hand and aimed it at the Two-legged Sheep, who were already pale with fright.

"Boom!"

As another explosion occurred at the test site, the Rifle in the Orc warrior's hand rapidly heated up and turned red, then exploded.

This also affected the few Two-legged Sheep not far away; the few of them remained in their pre-death state of terror as charred corpses, and Maike, who was sitting not far off, was blown away by the scorching air current, falling flat on their face once again.

"Damn it, again!"

Maike climbed up from the ground with a flushed face, looking at the explosion zone with a malicious gaze, and said in a low voice.

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region New Recruit Training Camp.

Some new recruits would glance from time to time at a special batch of soldiers not far away; one could see 27 burly men between 2 and 2.2 meters tall standing straight in front of an instructor. This instructor was not actually short, being around 1.8 meters, but in front of this group of burly men, they had to lift their head to clearly see the faces of these new recruits.

Originally, they did not really want to lead this batch of special soldiers, but due to pressure from their superior, they had no choice but to accept the order to train this batch of soldiers who were called ordinary people.

However...

This instructor thought frantically to themselves: Where do these look like ordinary people?

"Ahem, I am your instructor for new recruit training—Hao Zhi. In the training that follows, I will train you into qualified soldiers!"

At this moment, Charlie looked at the instructor before them, recalling in their mind the middle-aged man from the high-level Human Alliance Military District they had met before. He had gathered them together and said he was prepared to cultivate them into a batch of qualified soldiers, so that they could go to the front lines to kill the Alien Race.

Because Marie still needed someone to take care of her, the man named Ji Bu waved his hand and allowed Marie to live in the Military District, making it convenient for him to look after her.

The other companions did not agree immediately; Ajie even spoke up directly, "Why should we trust you? We are just ordinary people. We finally escaped from the Zerg Hunting Ground, only to be locked in this Settlement Area for so long. Please don't make things difficult for us."

But Ji Bu was not discouraged; one could see a smile on the corner of his mouth as he spoke slowly, "Yingzhou is a Captain of a combat squad in the Military District. I am still interested in cultivating him, and I am also prepared to train you all into qualified soldiers so he can lead you to fight against the Alien Race."

These words from Ji Bu made Ajie and the others stop talking. In the end, after discussing it with the other companions, Ajie turned to Ji Bu and said, "Fine, but we must follow Yingzhou; we will not follow anyone else."

And so, they came to this Military District's New Recruit Training Camp.

"Instructor, we already know what you said. Let's just start the training."

As soon as Hao Zhi finished speaking, Ajie spoke directly to Hao Zhi.

Hao Zhi looked at Ajie and yelled at Ajie with an unhappy expression.

"New recruit! You must shout 'report' before speaking! If you don't obey orders on the battlefield, how can you fight the Alien Race!"

Ajie said directly, "Report! Please start the training immediately!"

"Very good! Very spirited!"

Afterwards, Hao Zhi began to train this group of ordinary soldiers according to the maximum training load instructed by Ji Bu.

To Hao Zhi's surprise, these ordinary soldiers actually completed the massive training load and did not even collapse from exhaustion.

"Report Instructor! We have completed the training load, please continue to issue instructions!"

Ajie felt that their body had not been worn out by the massive training load; on the contrary, they felt their physical condition was better than ever.

Was it because of the potion Yingzhou gave them in the Zerg Hunting Ground? It was the same last time when fighting those black shadows in the Settlement Area; their body seemed to have undergone some changes since then, and their height had even grown to 2.1 meters.

Regardless, Ajie now had only one thought, and that was to become a soldier, follow in Yingzhou's footsteps, and help him clear out the Alien Race, just as he was willing to lead them out of that hellish Hunting Ground back then.

Seeing this group of overly spirited new recruits, Hao Zhi waved to the new recruits who were watching the commotion not far away.

"You lot, come here! Stop watching the commotion over there!"

Seeing Hao Zhi calling them, those few new recruits had no choice but to trot over to Hao Zhi, salute, and say.

"Report Instructor! Please instruct!"

Hao Zhi nodded and said to Ajie and the others.

"Since you still have the energy to train, let's have some practical combat sparring. On the battlefield, the Alien Race will use some strange abilities from time to time. As ordinary people, you need faster speed and reactions than soldiers who possess a Back Spirit to kill the Alien Race on the battlefield! Now, you can try fighting a Psionic."

Ajie looked at those soldiers who possessed Back Spirits, stepped forward, and said.

"Report Instructor, I want to try!"

"Good! You're the one! Pick an opponent."

Ajie pointed casually at the soldier on the far left and said, "Him!"

This soldier saw Ajie wanting to spar with them, their mouth twitched, and they walked up solemnly to Ajie and said.

"New recruit, I use a Back Spirit, you'd better be careful!"

"Mm, come on!"

At Hao Zhi's command, Ajie quickly closed the distance with great speed, causing the soldier to almost be knocked out by a punch; fortunately, they retreated quickly, and a ninja dressed in black tights appeared on the spot.

The moment this ninja was hit by Hao Zhi, they turned into a puff of white smoke, leaving behind a piece of wood on the ground.
