After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 294: Chapter 233: The King of Scrolls Has Arrived?

Cao Yi had not heard this kind of request for a long time.

Both of them could tell what Zhang Tianwang meant.

Zhang Tianwang felt slighted by Fang Huai’s earlier comment that he was an "Internal Affairs exemplar" and wanted to show off a bit.

But what’s the point of showing off by taking a new recruit out?

Cao Yi said with a smile, "In our squadron, on Saturdays, new recruits have a day off, but in the evening, old soldiers will take new recruits out for a run, conduct evening exercises. If you’d like to join, you can go with them.

There’s a supermarket opposite our squadron, if you need to buy something, you can ask for leave to go now."

Cao Yi mentioned "our squadron" twice because Zhang Tianwang had referred to his previous squadron as "our squadron" several times.

What, are you representing your squadron to come to Special Service Squadron 2 to compete?

It was only because Hao Chengbin and Fang Huai, the master and apprentice, had significantly changed Cao Yi’s temper that he was in the mood to correct him a couple of times.

When Hao Chengbin, the non-commissioned officer platoon leader appointed by the detachment, first arrived, he greeted him with a show of authority, and there wasn’t even a welcome party in the squadron until he came to "surrender" himself.

"Thank you, Instructor, I don’t need to buy anything. I’m the type with minimal material needs,"

Zhang Tianwang said his thanks very naturally.

But Fang Huai sighed inwardly.

As soon as he speaks, it’s "I, this person" again.

Another one with a low EQ.

"If you really want to train, go to the gym and find Huang Yong,"

After saying that, Cao Yi coughed and walked away.

Fang Huai raised his eyebrows and turned to leave, not wanting to spend another second with this guy.

He was only responsible for squad affairs, not for EQ training, and as long as Zhang Tianwang did a good job in Internal Affairs and training without causing trouble, it was fine to be a soldier.

From what he had seen of his Internal Affairs work thus far, it was indeed good and worth learning from for the entire squad.

As for whether his words were pleasant or not, that was beyond his jurisdiction. To avoid annoyance, he would just keep his distance.

Thinking this, Fang Huai had just reached the stairwell.

"Fang Huai! Fang Huai!"

Song Lin’s low shout came from the stairs.

The three peers had already run up.

"What’s up?" Fang Huai stopped, puzzled.

The three of them came up with expressions of disbelief, and Han Yong even had a bitter look on his face:

"Ah, don’t even start. That Wang Peng, on a big Saturday, he wants to train!" freёweɓnovel.com

Xiao Haishan gnashed his teeth as he used the vocabulary taught by Fang Huai:

"A damn try-hard! We took him down to familiarize him with the squadron’s training environment. We had just taken him to the garage, and he said it was a bit dirty and insisted on sweeping it again. He also asked where in our squadron he could train and said he wanted to do extra exercises soon!"

Fang Huai was amused to hear this.

This matter, actually, was the same mentality as Zhang Tianwang’s.

Coming to a new squadron, they both wanted to showcase their initiative.

But the new recruits’ performance was more helpless and passive, probably feeling somewhat anxious about the new squadron.

However, Squad Leader Hao had already given him a heads-up, letting Wang Peng exhaust his peers which the squadron was happy to see. He was not in a position to say much, so he could only laugh and say:

"If he wants to train, let him. Why not take him to the gym later?"

Hearing this, Han Yong’s eyes widened: "If he goes to the gym to add drills, how can we rest? Instructor Cao will see it and scold us to death! And tonight, we still have to do evening exercise!"

"If you don’t want to train, go help out in the kitchen earlier, and you can call Wang Peng down earlier."

Fang Huai offered the few dejected peers a somewhat sympathetic suggestion.

"If we do this, we’ll never have a chance to rest..." Xiao Haishan covered his face, grief-stricken.

Fang Huai’s smile did not fade: "Let him spin his wheels, what’s there to be afraid of? Everyone has a head to carry on two shoulders. If you three turn around and wear him out, won’t he stop spinning?"

Han Yong perked up at this: "How about you join him in training later? You could easily wear him out!"

Fang Huai smiled, but his smile was not entirely genuine: "I couldn’t do that. This is a special gift prepared just for you guys. If I were to join, it would qualify as intentionally damaging the training equipment. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Song Lin, you’re our year’s vanguard general. You’re almost hitting 30 on the horizontal bar, right? Take him down, conquer him!"

With that, he cheerfully headed upstairs.

"Damn it!" Song Lin raised his hand and flipped him off.

Fang Huai didn’t mind and was about to turn the corner at the stairwell when he heard the three peers shout:

"Goodbye, Squad Leader!"

Zhang Tianwang’s voice came through: "Mm, where is your squadron’s training equipment room? Take me to see it."

Hearing this, Fang Huai tsk-tsk-tsked in his mind.

I was just about to take you there, and you refused, playing aloof. Now you’re starting to look for guidance everywhere.

...

"Damn, Fang Huai, catch him! Are we just going to let him backdoor our turret? Trash top lane!" Ye Jiahong shouted.

Fang Huai said dismissively, "Come on, stop blaming me, will you? You guys are two against one in bot lane, you tower dived to steal a kill and got caught, and it’s my fault? I’m top lane one versus two here! 4-0!"

"Your mom, just you watch. When I get out there, I’m going to crush him! Today nobody leaves, we fight ’til dawn!" Ye Jiahong said angrily.

After having just killed Ye Jiahong for a kill, Hu Hongzhi laughed heartily:

"Sure thing, Captain Ye! I’m waiting for you to come and seek revenge! Whoever leaves is a wimp!"

"..." The alarm bell never missed an opportunity to slap in the face.

"Damn, crow’s mouth!" Zhao Jinchen slapped the keyboard and stood up.

The others quickly stood as well and ran downstairs.

"Slow down!"

"Slow down for what? This is the third floor! Move it! Recently, Old Teacher He’s been on his ’period’, deploying us at the drop of a hat!"

With a loud shout from Ye Jiahong, everyone sped up even more.

"What’s the emergency?"

"Rescue mission! A laborer’s about to jump off a building!"

"Squad three, go!" Cao Yi shouted while getting dressed in the stairwell.

Fang Huai was just about to stop.

"Squad Leader Fang is not here, Fang Huai, you go too!"

...

On the road.

Cao Yi, holding the dispatch order, was calling the person who had reported the emergency.

After a while, he put down his mobile phone, looking worried.

"Can’t get through."

Xiao Haishan suddenly felt panicked. "Instructor, when we get off the car, what should I bring with me?"

As a new recruit, he was responsible for carrying the necessary equipment for the dispatch. Sometimes the dispatch location was far from where they could park, and in life-saving situations, the time it took to go back and forth for equipment could lead to disaster.

But Hu Hongzhi casually slapped him on the shoulder, reassuringly saying, "Don’t worry, there will be plenty of time for you to grab your gear when we get there. If they haven’t jumped by the time we arrive, they typically won’t jump in a hurry.

Remember, those who really want to jump can’t be stopped, those who want to but are scared can be talked down, and those who don’t really want to jump are just waiting to make demands.

Your job will be to control the crowd of onlookers. Meng Qiang, take the camera and scare them a little, tell them not to talk nonsense."

Sitting in the front row next to Cao Yi, Meng Qiang, looking displeased, turned around and said:

"Don’t worry. I’ll do more than just scare them. The guy who shouted from below last time, ’You’re not human if you don’t jump’, I even gave the video copy to the family for a lawsuit.

Those people are the real inhumane ones!

That girl last time—she was so lucky, saved by clothes hanging on the balcony above. It was a close call, walking back and forth on the parapet. Even now, it gives me the chills.

Heard she had depression. That day, the comments from below could have made her actually jump."

A moment of silence followed.

Cao Yi shook his head and said, "It’s different with laborers fighting for their wages. Most likely they won’t jump. Fang Huai, don’t act rashly when we get there. Today it’s a tower crane, negotiation is key. Xiao Haishan, bring the loudspeaker..."

As he spoke, Cao Yi’s phone rang.

After picking up and responding with a series of affirmatives, he hung up.

Looking back anxiously, he said, "The person has already fallen. No need for the loudspeaker, bring the cutting machine instead."

As he spoke, he glanced at the people in the back seat and continued, "The call was from a 120 medical operator. The person has fallen onto a steel rebar and is now impaled, unable to get down. Zeng Zhigao, make sure your hands are steady; you’ll operate when we get there."

Everyone’s eyes widened.

Fang Huai frowned and asked, "Is the person still alive?"

"Lucky, he’s alive," Cao Yi nodded. "The rebar went right through the anus, seems like it didn’t hit any major organs. He’s unconscious now; we just need to cut the rebar."

"Yikes..."

Hearing this, everyone on the vehicle felt a tightening sensation.

...

Upon reaching the scene, it was noisy.

Next to the city road was a slope created by an excavator for construction. Down the muddy slope, a few medical staff surrounded the individual impaled by the rebar.

However, the mandatory path was blocked by a group of yellow-helmeted workers, making it impenetrable.

In the crowd, a man in a white helmet was cursing someone in a red helmet.

"Didn’t we pay you? Now with this happening, whose fault is it?"

The man in the red helmet looked troubled, "General Tian, it wasn’t enough! We laid two kilometers of pipeline, but only got paid for half a kilometer. Even the progress payments were based on half a kilometer. Now you want to clear us off the site; how can we pay wages?"

The man in the white helmet immediately barked, "Nonsense! Your 1.5 kilometers of pipeline still need backfilling with concrete; did you do that? You haven’t met the construction standards, how can we settle the account?

I don’t care; you’re responsible for this mess!"

The man in the red helmet became frustrated and argued, "How is this my fault, General Tian? I’m just a labor contractor. You expect me to advance the cost for cement? That was not what you said when we started!"

The man in the white helmet chuckled and replied, "Then look at the contract! It was clearly stated when we signed it."

Seeing this, a woman nearby started crying out loud, "You leaders passing the buck, what about us? What about my Hu San?!"

"Hey, hey, can you let us through? Don’t delay the rescue!" Cao Yi, blocked from entering, was getting frustrated.

Those around in uniforms rapidly made way for him.

But the woman, seeing the rescuers arriving, rushed forward, grabbed the man in the red helmet, and yelled frantically:

"Boss Chen, my Hu San was sent up by you! You said there would be an extra three thousand on getting the money! What now? And the medical expenses, what about them!"

With that, the surroundings erupted.

Fang Huai behind them shook his head and sighed.

A life on the construction site is truly cheap.

Cao Yi tried to push past to lead the Second Squadron to the rescue, but the woman quickly ran up and clung to Cao Yi.

"Don’t rescue! Let’s settle the money first, then rescue!"
