Chapter 60: Chapter 27 Appointment at 2:30 in the Middle of the Night_2
Whoosh, a bag flew onto Zhao Bing’s bed.
"Fang Huai, grab mine too, will you?"
"I want one as well! The second one from the left on top!"
Fang Huai was closest to the camouflage bags, and for a moment, he seemed to become everyone’s moving machine.
After tossing the third one, Fang Huai couldn’t be bothered anymore and roared while packing his own bag, "Get your own bags yourselves!"
Only then did Peng Yingqirui sit up again in a daze.
"What are you guys grabbing your bags for?"
"Idiot! We’re packing up! Emergency assembly!!" Hao Chengbin couldn’t help but curse at his lukewarm demeanor.
Despite being the first one up, everyone was out of bed, and he hadn’t made a move!
Fang Huai’s first reaction was also to find his own backpack, not to remind his comrades.
Besides that... he could already be considered up to the standard of an excellent soldier. While others were still fumbling for their backpack ropes, he had already folded his quilt, arranged the straps, and started binding the rope.
seconds.
The action of tying the rope from start to finish, given the evening lighting conditions, was quite fast.
"Damn, where are my trousers? Jiang Peng, did you put mine on?" Liu Yue’s voice was a bit frantic.
"Ah? How could that be? I’m wearing my own! Look again!"
"Turn on the lights, man! Turn on the lights!" Liu Yue was getting anxious.
"What lights to turn on? The whole corridor is disconnected! There’s no power!"
At this moment, Fang Huai, who had finished packing, ran over to help Liu Yue search, and quickly Fang Huai saw a pair of trousers beside Jiang Peng’s bed.
He didn’t say a word and simply threw the trousers to Liu Yue.
"Quick, wear his!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Fang Huai didn’t have time to scold Jiang Peng because the moment he woke up, he had received a system task.
In the emergency assembly, ensure no new recruit from the Squad Nine fell behind.
Just then, Hao Chengbin suddenly spoke up while holding his arms.
"Fang Huai, stop dealing with them! Go down first, the Chief of Staff is downstairs, aim for a good ranking!"
If Fang Huai left now, he could very likely be the first in the entire company, leaving a good impression with the Chief of Staff and might make it easier for him to receive the Excellent Soldier award later on.
But Hao Chengbin didn’t know that the Chief of Staff had already dismissed Fang Huai in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Fang Huai paused for a moment, then his face filled with righteous determination.
"Squad Leader... personal ranking isn’t as important as the squad! I’ll help them first!"
Your kindness is well received, buddy, but the Chief of Staff is just a passerby in life; rewards are the ultimate destination.
Hao Chengbin was somewhat moved, eh!
Just a moment ago, he thought Fang Huai’s team spirit was lacking, ah! He had misjudged!
Right, he sees things more clearly than oneself; in situations like this, one must take care of oneself first to be capable of helping others.
Fang Huai set his sights on the last one, Peng Yingqirui, instructing him like taking a child to school on how to pack a backpack and organize the straps.
"Right, thread it through there!"
Peng Yingqirui finished the last knot and realized something wasn’t right: "But I saw Squad Leader make three horizontal knots!"
"If it’s two, then two! As long as the backpack straps don’t loosen, that’s all that matters. Stuff the excess rope in, keep the ropes tidy and even, no changing it now! We’re running out of time!"
"Put your clothes and trousers on, come straight down!"
A medical miracle.
In one minute, Fang Huai actually managed to get Peng Yingqirui, practically a half-disabled child, off the bed.
Then, his gaze scanning left and right again, he found a new person to help: Liu Yue.
Hao Chengbin finally began calling out reminders.
"We went over how to pack bags yesterday! Is this how we do it? Didn’t you all tell me you understood? How are you packing them now? Lu Zexian, how can you tie it when you’re hugging the bag? Turn it over! Turn it around!"
Fang Huai quickly instructed Liu Yue, then ran to Lu Zexian to correct his mistake. freeweɓnøvel.com
"Untie the knot in your hands first! Flip those two ropes over and tie again! Tighten it! Even tighter!"
As the inside turned chaotic, Hao Chengbin opened the door: "Those who have packed their bags, put on your caps, and your belts, assemble outside the door! Stop crowding inside!"
Originally, Hao Chengbin planned to let everyone fend for themselves today to come back later and teach them a harsh lesson, since he knew well that this group couldn’t produce any results. As squad leader, he couldn’t possibly go up to help. Rather than struggle, it was better to watch coldly from the sidelines.
Since he was going to get angry later, he needed to start gathering his energy now, preparing to unleash it.
But seeing Fang Huai dragging some and pulling others, actually managing to increase the overall speed of the slowest few in the squad, his thoughts began to change.
Over five minutes after the whistle blew, Squad Nine was all out.
"Move quickly downstairs! Line up, don’t scatter! Fang Huai, lead the team downstairs!" Hao Chengbin called out one last time, then turned and headed downstairs with his hands behind his back.
The squad leaders of the other nearby squads stood by their own doors, some glaring at the new recruits of Squad Nine as they lined up to leave. Fang Huai from Squad Nine stood at the door, helping each of them adjust their backpack ropes before leading them in formation downstairs.
The other squad leaders grew more anxious.
Are we seriously getting left behind by Squad Nine?!
Squad Leader Hao, has he hacked the system?
"Quick, quick, quick! Those who’ve packed their bags, hurry down and form up at our squad’s position!"
...
"Line up! Keep to the right and orderly descend the stairs!"
With Hao Chengbin’s clear command, Fang Huai stood aside, directing everyone to keep the formation and not to blend in with the individual stragglers rushing downstairs.
Upon reaching the door, the complete formation of Squad Nine drew the attention of the Chief of Staff standing at the door.
The sight of the rankless new recruit commanding puzzled him.
"That soldier! The one leading! Why is a new recruit taking charge?"
Fang Huai quickly stopped.
Turning around, the Chief of Staff recognized him and clicked his tongue.
"Young man, why is it you? Where’s your Squad Leader Hao?"
