Life in the barracks was dull and monotonous, filled with loneliness and solitude. The male soldiers gathered together, always looking for some fun to pass the time. A deck of playing cards was their only source of entertainment after enduring various training sessions.
L was their captain, and due to their environment and geographical location on the front lines, soldiers were generally not allowed to play cards in the dormitory. They had to remain on high alert, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice if any enemy threat arose. Being slow to respond could lead to military punishment.
So when the soldiers playing cards saw L approach, they were as startled as mice spotting a cat. They hurriedly shoved the cards under their bunks, trying to compose themselves and feigning relaxation as they lounged back or picked up a mini magazine lying around, flipping through it aimlessly.
From a distance, L noticed them playing cards and felt displeased. The ones playing were members of the Tomorrow's Battle elite team, also part of General Jin Ming's N Plan group.
Tomorrow's Battle was the name of the plan, which had been misunderstood by Xiao Qiang, who thought it meant they would be going into battle the next day. He was pushed forward by Barbarian to stand before the N Plan elite group, where L introduced him: "This is a new member added to your N Plan group. I hope that during Tomorrow's Battle, you will unite and help each other."
"him?" Liu Yi, the tall leader of the N Plan group with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looked Xiao Qiang up and down with a disdainful gaze. He remarked, "Captain, don't joke around. We don't need someone who just looks good; we need warriors who can match Metal Slut in strength."
L's face darkened as he walked over to sit down in front of them. He pulled aside a military blanket from under the bunk, revealing a stack of playing cards. He collected them and scanned each of their faces with a half-smile: "Don't bargain with me; soldiers must obey orders. Remember this debt for now; you have a chance to redeem yourselves by channeling your interest in gambling into taking down Mimetic Bionic Aliens."
As L spoke, he shot a cold glance at Xiao Qiang: "You refused to enter the barracks earlier; you should be punished—40 push-ups for you."
"Hey~ hey." Ignoring the mocking faces of the N Plan members, Xiao Qiang hurried after Captain L: "I have no objections to doing push-ups as punishment, but since they don't welcome me here, can't you consider transferring me to a team with female soldiers?"
Xiao Qiang thought his suggestion was perfectly reasonable and devoid of humor. Yet why did the N Plan members burst into laughter at his words, doubling over as if they were having fits?
At that moment, Captain L stopped in his tracks and turned to face Xiao Qiang.
He suddenly shouted, "Stand at attention!"
Xiao Qiang, who had never undergone military training, froze for a moment. He hurriedly placed his hands at his sides but couldn't help glancing around to see if any female soldiers were present.
"At ease." Captain L glared angrily at the distracted Xiao Qiang. "You... go do a hundred push-ups out in the open, then run twenty laps around the area."
Xiao Qiang froze, stunned. What the hell? His mouth formed an O shape as he raised a finger to count. "Captain, are you serious? A hundred push-ups and then twenty laps?"
Captain L ignored Xiao Qiang's bewildered expression and shouted at the other members who were snickering nearby, "You all keep a close watch on him. If he slacks off even a bit, it’ll be doubled."
What the heck! Is this a military camp? Xiao Qiang felt speechless, his face twisted in frustration. Under the watchful eyes of the N group members, he had no choice but to head to the open space and spread his limbs. He began doing push-ups, one after another.
After that, he still had to run twenty laps. Damn it! Looking at those cold-blooded N group members, each one whispering and chuckling to themselves, he felt a surge of anger inside him. He wished he could throw a few punches and kicks at them to see who was truly stronger.
However, without needing any competition, Xiao Qiang had already impressed them. A hundred push-ups and twenty laps later, instead of collapsing on the ground gasping for breath as they had imagined, he calmly gave them an OK sign without breaking a sweat.
"Did you guys miscount?" Liu Yi, one of his teammates, questioned. He wondered if he had miscounted; if he had, surely the others wouldn't have made the same mistake. If they found out he was slacking off, Captain L's threat of doubling the punishment would come true.
Soldiers can't lie casually; besides, if this punishment were applied to them, who knows what it would look like? The N group members shook their heads and nodded.
"Hey guys, is it right or wrong?"
"A hundred push-ups and twenty laps, not a single one missed." The first to challenge Xiao Qiang was Barbarian.
Xiao Qiang shot him a grateful smile. This guy wasn’t falling for it; with a cold snort, he turned away.
As for strong individuals, Liu Yi couldn’t just make things difficult for them as team leader. With a welcoming smile that revealed his white teeth, he extended his hand. "Hello, I'm Liu Yi."
Xiao Qiang reached out in response. "Hello, team leader. I'm... Wildfire."
“Hmm, your name really packs a punch, it has an impressive vibe,” Liu Yi said, giving Xiao Qiang a friendly pat on the shoulder. “Let’s go take a shower.”
To be honest, Xiao Qiang really wanted to wash off. After doing twenty sets of push-ups and a long run, he was drenched in sweat and felt miserable.
The shower area was communal, with a curtain hanging that only covered the upper half of the body. However, in the military camp, there were very few women around, so even if one were to shower naked, it should be fine, right?
Xiao Qiang stepped into shower stall number two, and the scalding hot water sprayed down on him, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort. He vaguely heard Liu Yi in the adjacent stall number three. Halfway through his shower, he realized he had forgotten to bring soap.
He walked straight to stall number three and pulled aside the curtain. Before he could say anything, amidst the steam and bright light, he saw a petite and delicate figure—her body was translucent and glistening under the water. The curves of her body swayed under the cascading water, nearly causing him to burst out in a nosebleed.
Xiao Qiang stood there dumbfounded, staring at someone he had cherished and caressed countless times in his dreams. “What are you doing?” A soft voice startled him back to reality. He hurriedly retreated, slipping back into stall number two, too embarrassed to come out.
Outside, it seemed Liu Yi was asking someone, “Where are you?”
A familiar female voice replied, “In stall number two.”
Someone was approaching stall number two. Xiao Qiang felt trapped; he couldn’t hide or not hide. All he could do was frantically scratch his head and awkwardly hunch down under the showerhead, turning his back to them.
