Chapter 49: Night Inspection, Wake Up Early!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Many individuals, particularly those from southern regions, would bathe daily, even during winter. Currently, they were in the southern part of their homeland. Today was a day of training, and not being able to have a hot bath had already put a bitter expression on the recruits’ faces. However, now they were not even permitted to take a cold shower.

“No, class monitor, I’ve been sweating today!” Gu Yingnan couldn’t help but speak up.

“I know. Don’t you know how to quickly wet a towel and wipe yourself? Let me tell you, time is limited. Besides…” Ye Sanshi turned to Wang Ye and said, “Deputy class monitor Wang, later on, take Deng Hai’s towel and wet it for him! Judging by the looks of it, he won’t be leaving this bed tonight.”

“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye agreed.

Then, he glanced at the others. “Someone bring a wet mop later and clean the floor.”

Since it was just a mop and didn’t matter who took care of it, he didn’t assign anyone by name. Besides, Wang Ye would also assist.

Soon, everyone hurriedly began preparing. Some changed their shoes, while others removed their clothes. In less than a minute, only Deng Hai and Ye Sanshi remained in the dormitory, still holding a bucket and vomiting.

“Shh, shh! Lights out!” Downstairs, the watchman’s whistle and shouts could be heard.

In the corridor, Wang Ye had just returned the mop to the sanitary tool room when he heard the sound and hurriedly ran back to Class 5.

As soon as he entered the room, the lights in the dormitory dimmed.

“Alright, lie down now that you’re back. No more talking. Hurry up and sleep!” Ye Sanshi didn’t lie on his bed. Instead, he held a pen and notebook in his hands. After saying this, he looked at Wang Ye and instructed, “You manage the order in the dormitory. If anyone dares to make a sound or disobey me, tell them to wait for me outside the door!”

“Yes, sir!”

“Okay, that’s it then!” After his remark, Ye Sanshi opened the door that Wang Ye had closed when he entered and walked out. He still had work to do, as he had been busy punishing Deng Hai and had fallen behind. The door closed, and Wang Ye surveyed the dormitory.

Everyone was already lying on their beds, including Deng Hai. However, Deng Hai had a bucket beside his bed.

Deng Hai, lying on the bed, had only taken off his coat and looked like a pile of mud. His eyes were closed, and it wasn’t clear if he had fallen asleep.

The air in the dormitory wasn’t pleasant, even with the windows open. However, there was nothing Wang Ye could do at the moment. There was no air freshener, and the lights were off. It was unrealistic to ask other classes if they had any or to buy one from the grocery store. He would have to endure it. If not, he could just cover his nose with the blanket.

“Go to bed early. I don’t know when you’ll have to wake up tomorrow.”

After Wang Ye spoke, someone softly said, “Tomorrow is the weekend! Will you let us rest?”

“What are you thinking? You just arrived yesterday, so I’ll let you rest tomorrow. Sleep, sleep.”

“Hehe, who knows!”

Ye Sanshi left. Although Wang Ye was the vice-class monitor, it was evident that his authority hadn’t deeply rooted in everyone’s hearts. When he said he would let everyone sleep, some of them still started chatting.

After undressing, Wang Ye interrupted them

again. “Alright, I know you guys still have plenty of energy, but you need to prepare to feel sleepy. Stop chatting. If anyone keeps chatting, 1’11 really drag them out. I’ll go all out and accompany them at the door.”

“Shh…”

“Go to sleep immediately.”

This time, everyone showed great respect.

One by one, they quickly lay down on their beds, pulled up their blankets to cover their noses, or even covered their heads. Seeing this, Wang Ye covered himself with his clothes and lay down.

Today, everyone had been deprived of sleep. During the evening class, some recruits dozed off in the classroom while copying the rules and regulations, and were punished by squad leaders to stand and copy them again. It wasn’t just one person.

In Class 5, only the short time they spent washing their feet with cold water had kept them energetic even after lying down. However, the mental stimulation from the cold water wouldn’t last long.

Wang Ye stopped talking. In less than a minute, snores could be heard in the dormitory.

…

“Ka!”

In the early hours of the morning, the door to Class 5’s dormitory was gently pushed open.

If it weren’t for Ye Sanshi, who would have returned at 11 o’clock?

As the door opened, Wu Jianfeng entered with light footsteps.

He frowned because he smelled something unpleasant.

The smell of vomit.

However, even after shining the small flashlight in his hand around the dormitory, he couldn’t find the source.

The buckets next to Deng Hai’s bed had all been taken to the water room by Ye Sanshi when he returned.

“What the hell!”

Wu Jianfeng muttered softly as he walked into the dormitory. He checked each bed and covered a recruit who had kicked off their blanket. When some clothes fell to the ground, he picked them up and threw them back onto the bed.

Without disturbing anyone, Wu Jianfeng left Class 5 in two to three minutes and closed the door again.

The moment he closed the door, Ye Sanshi opened his eyes and looked at the door. Then, he closed his eyes once more.

As a veteran, he remained very alert.

However, after glancing at Wu Jianfeng, he couldn’t be bothered to get up and continued to pretend to be asleep.

Ten minutes later, at the entrance of the first floor, Wu Jianfeng stood there. Kang Hua was already waiting.

“How did it go? Anything unusual?” The instructor asked softly with a smile.

“It’s fine. Everyone is sleeping like pigs!” Wu Jianfeng replied. He didn’t linger there and headed to his office.

“Let’s go back and get some rest!”

Night inspection was the recruits’ first night of training. It was a necessary process, and it wouldn’t be the last time they would go through it.

Neither of them would be able to sleep well tonight.

After all, they had just forced a group of young masters to experience the life of a soldier. What if someone ran away in the middle of the night?

“Get up, get up!”

In a daze, Wang Ye felt someone pushing him.

“Hmm?”

He opened his eyes with difficulty.

He hadn’t slept enough the previous night and had gone through a whole day of training. With the double torture of physical and mental strain, Wang Ye had slept soundly. Now, being awakened, he felt like he hadn’t slept enough.

“What’s wrong, class monitor?” Wiping his eyes, Wang Ye saw Ye Sanshi on the bed.

“Get up and fold the blankets!” After saying that, Ye Sanshi added, “You’re the vice-class monitor. I called you first. Get up

quickly and wake the others with me!”

Wang Ye was speechless. Was he insane?

Wang Ye felt an intense urge to curse, especially as he raised his hand and glanced at his watch, which he hadn’t taken off yet. It wasn’t even five o’clock, and a multitude of vulgar words flooded his mind.

Was it truly necessary?

Couldn’t they just get a normal night’s sleep in the military camp?

“What are you hesitating for? It’s a common tradition for recruits to wake up early and fold their blankets. Today, I thought you didn’t sleep well yesterday, so 1 woke you up at five o’clock..”
