The three-hour ride made Gu Qingjiu drowsy and dazed.
Even her butt was starting to ache from sitting down.
The military vehicle really wasn’t that comfortable.
The military camp in Dayi City was hidden in the depths of the mountain. Or to be more detailed, most military camps in cities weren’t too near to the city proper. They were mostly found in the outskirts usually for privacy purposes.
In order to go into the mountains, the mountainous roads were curved and crooked, so it wasn’t easy for the vehicles to drive through them. The entire journey was filled with turns and more turns. With the slow vehicle speed, it was no wonder that just going to the outskirts of Dayi City required three hours.
When the vehicle drove through a bamboo forest, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed. It made others feel like they had accidentally went into a forest filled with cherry blossoms.
To be honest, the scenery in the depths of Dayi City’s mountain was quite pretty.
It was currently early Winter and everything was quiet around them. The flowers and trees were all covered with a cold brown color, though one could still see the beautiful scenery of the incoming spring.
It was the new recruits’ training camp area beginning from the road outside of the bamboo forest.
The military occupied a large plot of land, and since the new recruits had no right to go to the official military camp area now, they could only settle down right outside of the camp. In front of them was an endless mountainous plain, with hundreds of short buildings built around. A deafening shout trailed over from the field that was even bigger and broader than a soccer field.
The training camp sat on the plains and the military green everyone wore stood out especially in the large patch of dark mountainous colors.
On their way in, there were already a lot of guarding soldiers on duty.
There were many new people in the vehicle. When they saw this grand view, they couldn’t help but look out of the window. They all exclaimed in amazement.
Gu Qingjiu was groggily awaken from the commotion.
She woke up and glanced out of the window, amazement flashing in her eyes as well.
If it wasn’t because of this accidental rebirth, she probably wouldn’t have the chance to see such a grand scenery in her life.
Even the soldiers guarding the roads was something Gu Qingjiu wanted.
There was no need for more words. It was as if pride for their country will naturally grow in everyone who arrived here.
After the vehicle drove into the new recruits’ training camp, the road had smoothed a lot. The vehicle continued to drive into a large and empty plot of land by the side. It was a parking area.
Once the vehicle stopped, under the instructions of Chen Haoyang, the students in the vehicle got off orderly and formed a line according to their height.
Gu Qingjiu happened to stand beside Yu Bao’er.
Seeing that Gu Qingjiu was still standing beside her, Yu Bao’er smiled brightly towards Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
“Be more serious! No fooling around!”
Chen Haoyang chided strictly, his tone clearly aimed towards Yu Bao’er.
Yu Bao’er pouted, but recollected herself very quickly.
Once everyone stood in line, a man wearing a higher leveled military uniform walked over. He was tall with his back straight. Once Chen Haoyang saw him, he instantly greeted politely, “Sir, Chen Haoyang of the Third Battalion Ninth Unit have led the 2031th batch of new recruits to report!”
Different from Chen Haoyang’s seriousness, the man whom he had called ‘sir’ wasn’t so inflexible and instead, patted Chen Haoyang’s shoulder with a laugh. “Xiao Yang, I’m not in-charge of this batch of new recruits. I just received orders from above that someone have been placed in suddenly to lead this batch of new recruits specifically.”
Shock flashed on Chen Haoyang’s face. However, he didn’t say anything and merely nodded. “Understood, Sir!”
Right at that moment, this Drill Sergeant suddenly saw Yu Bao’er, his expression morphing into complete shock.
“This batch of new recruits seem to have some weird ideas! You, rainbow head! Go in and cut your hair! The sight of you hurts my eyes!”
