Darkness is Coming

   Thanks to the shocking performance of classmate Shan Yun, Yang Dong, Doudou and Zhou Tianhong, who were walking at the end of the team, became the first students to enter the cafeteria.

   The richness of the dishes in the cafeteria is beyond Doudou's imagination. Whole grains, chicken, duck, fish eggs, beef, sheep and pork are all available, and they are ridiculously cheap!

   A plate of eight taels of rice and a table of meat and vegetarian dishes only have two credits. The moment Doudou held his chopsticks, he felt that everything he experienced in the morning was worth it.

   "It's really cheap, it's so rich, it only takes two credits, tsk." Zhou Tianhong devoured it, and said while eating, "Give us so many dishes, will you be punished for wasting it?"

"Won't."

The gentle Yang Dong is not as good as Zhou Tianhong when he eats it now. Seeing where to go, he grabbed the roast lamb chop with his unwashed hands and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing on his mouth full of oil. After eating a roast lamb chop, Yang Dong continued: "It's a waste. It doesn't matter, it won't punish us, I just asked clearly, every day from 6:00 to 7:00, 12:00 to 1:00, 6:00 to 7:00 in the afternoon, eat in the cafeteria during these three time periods, take whatever you want. No matter how much you eat, you only charge two credits per person, it doesn’t matter if you can’t finish it and waste it.”

"Oh, I knew I would not buy breakfast at the vending machine this morning. Two breads and a glass of milk charged me six credits. It's a loss." Zhou Tianhong recalled buying breakfast from the vending machine in the dormitory in the morning. Stupid behavior, I feel a pain in the flesh.

   "Why is this happening?" Doudou asked inexplicably, "I need five credits to buy a box of chocolates, why is it so expensive to buy chocolates? Is there any chocolates in the cafeteria?"

   "Can you think of anything other than chocolate in your little brain?" Zhou Tianhong ruthlessly broke Doudou's fantasy, "No chocolate, I just turned around and didn't see any dessert drinks."

  Yang Dong stopped his chopsticks and looked around on the dining table in the cafeteria. Sure enough, he didn't find any dessert drinks. They were all hard vegetables, and the method was relatively simple, only frying, steaming, boiling, and stewing.

"I see." Yang Dong said suddenly, "I know why the food in the cafeteria is so cheap and the things in the vending machine are so expensive. We train so intensely every day that we must eat a lot of meat and vegetables to supplement protein and nutrition. , but snacks and drinks like chocolate, yogurt, and cola are not necessary. We eat in the cafeteria, which is a rigid demand. If the food in the cafeteria is too expensive, some people will not eat it, and then the training progress will be dragged down due to insufficient nutritional supplements. , This is not in line with the original intention of the academy to train us. And those snacks and drinks are non-essentials, a luxury in the academy, and it can also be said to motivate us to study hard and try our best to pass the assessment.”

   "It seems to make sense." Zhou Tianhong nodded after listening to Yang Dong's analysis, "But what do you think these things are useful for?"

"Of course it is useful. It is very important to us to be able to figure out the attitude and intention of the various arrangements of the college. As long as we can understand the thoughts of Principal Wu and the instructors, we will not do things that should not be done, and we can live a better life. ." Yang Dong patted off Zhou Tianming's dirty hand, which was stretched out to his plate, "If you want to eat it, take it yourself, I went on to say, think about it, even the Special Forces Academy, it is impossible to let the students eat it like this. It’s a waste, and eating too much may not be a good thing. After strenuous exercise, overeating is easy to gain weight, and you may get gastrointestinal diseases… Do you think this is another hidden test?”

   "Are you all right? You can think so much during a meal. Are you tired?" Zhou Tianhong looked at Yang Dong with a lunatic look and shook his head.

This is the end of the lunch conversation. Except for Shan Yun, who only ate two plates of green vegetables, the other students after learning about the rules of the cafeteria were like ghost soldiers who went into the village to clean up. Take a sip in your mouth, and the wasted food piled up like a mountain, filling five large buckets of water.

   Counselor Li has a very good saying: If you don’t keep me on time, I will collect the body for you. After the careful teaching of Instructor Gao and Instructor Li, everyone understood the importance of being punctual. At one o'clock in the afternoon, twenty-one students gathered at the outdoor shooting range on time to take the most important elective course: the use of weapons.

   The instructor is a gray-haired European, wearing single-sided glasses, a three-piece suit and vest, and leaning on an exquisite walking stick inlaid with gray rough stones. He has a classical aristocratic demeanor, which is awe-inspiring.

   What is even more surprising is that the instructors are proficient in Chinese, English and Japanese, and can introduce themselves to the students from different countries in standard Mandarin, New York English and Kanto Japanese without translation.

"Hello classmates, my name is Chandler, I have worked in one of the oldest professions of mankind, and have also trained guerrillas and soldiers for special operations for different political organizations. Now I am invited to come Here, I will teach you what I have learned all my life."

When    said the word "please", a hint of helplessness appeared on Instructor Chandler's face.

"This is an elective course. Each student can choose a weapon in the arsenal according to their own preferences. It can be a cold weapon, a hot weapon, a sword, axe, or a hammer. They are different types of firearms, even cutting-edge individual weapons. In the next period of time, you will specialize in learning a certain weapon. After passing the personal assessment, if you are interested, you can go to the next stage of learning. The students' personal wishes."

"Considering that the students choose different weapons, although we teach at the same time and place, in fact my assistant and I will teach each student separately. Of course, there is an old saying in Huaxia that is very good, no rules. Since it is a formal course, we still have to roughly divide the professional content and formulate rules.”

   "Let's just divide it into three majors: L, M, and S. L stands for Long, M stands for Middle, and S stands for Short, corresponding to long, medium, and short distances respectively."

"L major students will learn the application of long-range weapons, such as the most typical representative, sniper rifles. The way you solve the enemy is often through patient observation and complicated preparations, harvesting the enemy's life at a fixed point at a very long distance. ."

"M major students will learn the application of medium-range weapons, such as standard rifles, individual rocket launchers, etc. You will often act as firemen on the battlefield and suppress the enemy. If there is a group battle, then M majors will Students are undoubtedly the most important backbone.”

"Finally, students majoring in S will learn the application of close-range weapons. This definition is relatively broad, it can be a pistol, it can be all kinds of cold weapons that you have never seen before, it can also be your limbs, or even It's a chopstick, a branch."

"Okay, let's introduce it here for the time being. Students, please start choosing your favorite weapon. It will become your faithful partner. I will teach you how to use the knowledge you have learned to harvest the enemy's life. Please remember, children. , it's a great course, as great as literature."

   Instructor Chandler smiled so kindly, like a veteran gentleman who cared about his younger generation.

   "Chandler, Chandler..."

   Yang Dong repeated, trying to recall, where did he hear this strange yet familiar name?
