Chapter 706
Added to that was a row of windows high up on the walls, fitted with iron bars, which looked like they were for ventilation.
Hmm, it had a distinct "pure prison" vibe.
The lyrics to "Tears Behind Iron Bars" popped into Su Hao's mind at an inappropriate time.
Just then, the sound of the door opening automatically drew Su Hao's attention; the other two guys were still in their own worlds—one was curled up in a defensive squat, the other was dry-heaving on the floor—and neither reacted at all.
"Yo, the new faces this time are in pretty good shape."
The person who entered was a man in his thirties, wearing camouflage, with slightly dark skin and a clean-shaven face; he looked every bit the soldier.
The man possessed an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger, giving off the feel of a superior. He glanced at the two people by Su Hao's feet and said with realization, "You must be students from Jiangcheng University, right?"
Su Hao nodded slightly in response, then asked, "May I ask which officer of the Snowfield Base you are?"
The man's expression softened; though still stern, he at least didn't project too much pressure. "He Jie, the overall person in charge of you students here for training."
"Let me think, you can call me Instructor He, just like the students in the past."
"Instructor He, shouldn't you give us some precautions first?"
Su Hao asked, following behind He Jie, who was striding forward, while expressionlessly carrying one senior in each hand.
These two guys hadn't recovered even after three or four minutes.
It was probably a side effect of the ultra-long-distance teleportation; in any case, he felt nothing.
Conversely, when He Jie saw Su Hao expressionlessly lifting two adult men with one hand each, his stern expression faltered for a split second.
Although these two were on the shorter side and not very heavy, it was still quite startling.
He Jie felt a slight urge to rub his eyes, which felt a bit sore from seeing this scene.
Sighing inwardly that perhaps a different kind of character had arrived this time, He Jie replied, "The scheduled people haven't all arrived yet. Originally, other instructors were supposed to pick you up, but since I happened to be near the teleportation room, I just brought you along."
"When everyone is here, there will be a gathering bell. You can wait in the assigned dorms for now."
A short while later, the four of them, having attracted the gazes of many soldiers stationed at the Snowfield Base along the way, arrived in front of a dormitory building that was clearly in better condition than the others.
Facing Su Hao's puzzled look, He Jie said expressionlessly, "Many university students don't want to sleep in eight-person bunk bed dorms, so we squeezed out some space to build a dormitory just for you."
"Although the configuration is about the same, considering each of your schools sent teams of three, one school's team stays in one room."
Arriving at room 204, He Jie indicated that this was the room where Su Hao and his team would be staying for the week.
Considering Su Hao was carrying one person in each hand, He Jie thoughtfully opened the door for him.
Su Hao cast his gaze into the room.
The first thing that caught his eye was the bunk beds that had already been made, though there were only three beds in this room.
The room was basically bare cement, with no decoration to speak of.
As for the restroom, it was a public one at the end of the hallway, along with a bathhouse.
Hearing He Jie say this was considered a better environment, it was still worlds apart from the university environment.
No wonder some university students would make a fuss.
Su Hao wasn't very picky about where he slept; after all, what kind of places hadn't he slept in when he first started his journey?
He had experienced using the sky as a blanket and the
earth as a mat.
He Jie carefully observed the facial expression of this new face, Su Hao, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.
Su Hao was one of the few he had seen who didn't frown upon seeing the dormitory environment.
He Jie instructed, "Daily necessities are all prepared. Remember to go downstairs when you hear the gathering bell later."
After saying this, he walked away without looking back.
Su Hao could understand; after all, the Snowfield Base was stationed in a dangerous area near the national border, and he hadn't seen anyone idling along the way.
Everyone was in a hurry.
He was just curious about the strength of this chief instructor.
"Hey, time to resurrect."
Su Hao threw Zhao Yunlan and Xia Xiaoguang onto the beds and kicked them with his foot.
He had realized halfway there that these two guys were faking it.
If they were truly uncomfortable when they first teleported, then for the latter half of the time while Chief Instructor He was inside, they had been playing dead.
"A-le-le, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all?"
Zhao Yunlan tried to play cute to get by, but Su Hao was immune to this attack.
Xia Xiaoguang sat up directly, his face slightly pale, and whispered, "Chief Instructor He is too fierce; we don't dare face him."
While speaking, he looked left and right as if he had a guilty conscience, as if afraid of being overheard.
Su Hao raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued: "Really? I think he's quite kind, even if his expression is very stern."
Zhao Yunlan looked incredulous, his eyes widening: "I really can't believe that demon not only personally brought you to the dorm but also answered your questions along the way."
Seeming to recall some terrible memory, Zhao Yunlan's body couldn't help but tremble.
Su Hao was full of question marks; he didn't quite understand—was Chief Instructor He really that scary?
Seeing that no one was around to eavesdrop, Zhao Yunlan signaled for Su Hao to lean in and whispered a few things into his ear.
As he listened, Su Hao's curiosity grew.
It seemed like something very interesting was about to happen?
Just before noon, a sharp gathering whistle sounded, making Su Hao dream back to the military training before he transmigrated.
Being incredibly energetic, he didn't rest; he shook his two teammates, who seemed to want to catch up on sleep as soon as possible, awake, and then ran downstairs to gather.
Thanks to Su Hao's quick reaction, their group was the first to arrive downstairs at the dormitory building.
University students of similar age were also quickly arriving from all around.
Su Hao counted them; there were roughly fifty or sixty people.
Counting by three people per team, that meant students from a dozen or twenty different universities.
Moreover, among these university students, Su Hao unexpectedly saw someone he recognized.
