Chapter 1187
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu are much more well-known in the fleet.
Almost everyone knows them.
Zhou Shuwan, in particular, led the fleet out of danger several times and even found them new islands!
Zhao Qihu was immediately surprised: "Oh, oh, oh! I see!"
"Your brother-in-law is Deputy Commander Qi?" His eyes lit up as he looked towards the center of the training field.
Qi Mingyu is instructing several officers in tactical drills.
With an upright posture and a serious expression, every move he made exuded an unquestionable authority.
"No wonder you have such a good foundation. In just one morning, your assembly speed is already on par with that of a veteran."
Mu Mu smiled but didn't explain further.
Next comes physical training.
Five-kilometer weighted run, push-ups, sit-ups, obstacle course...
One item after another, without stopping.
Sweat streamed down Mu Mu's forehead, soaking through her training clothes and clinging tightly to her body.
My muscles ached so badly they felt like they were going to split open. Every time I lifted my leg or braced myself on the ground, it was accompanied by an unbearable soreness.
This is completely different from the exhaustion of rescuing people in the emergency room.
Saving lives requires immense mental stress, but now it's pushing my body to its limits.
But Mu Mu didn't complain or fall behind.
He gritted his teeth, kept up with the team's pace, and persevered step by step.
When they finally got a break at noon, because it was a group activity, neither he nor Qi Mingyu received any special treatment.
So they ate the communal meals provided by the cafeteria.
Plenty of food, all you can eat!
Large chunks of whale meat were stir-fried with kelp and vermicelli, and each person received a large bowl.
Rice and flour cannot be supplied in sufficient quantities.
However, there are also taro cakes made from taro and a small amount of wheat flour that can also fill you up.
Taro cakes are unlimited, you can eat as much as you want!
Another large bowl of very fishy seaweed soup, with a few egg droplets floating in it.
The fleet has always kept easy-to-raise livestock such as chickens and ducks. Apart from a few survivors who have the means to exchange for eggs and duck eggs, the rest, except for those that are stored away, are made into rations for the soldiers every now and then.
To be honest, this treatment is really quite good after the apocalypse!
Even better than when Mumu was a doctor!
Mu Mu ate the taro cake with gusto, along with the fish and vegetable stew, while glancing at the other soldiers who were so engrossed in their food that they couldn't even lift their heads.
He suddenly realized why so many people in the fleet were eager to join the army!
When faced with life-or-death situations, soldiers who join the army almost never think of retreating!
The fleet really gave them enough confidence!
Looking back, how ridiculous it was that Wang Qian led those hundred-plus young soldiers in a rebellion, trying to drag the entire fleet to hell!
Captain Chen did not lie or exaggerate at that time.
At the base, soldiers receive the best treatment!
Ordinary survivors hid in the back, and the relief food distributed was only enough to fill their stomachs!
The afternoon is for combat training.
The opponent is Zhao Qihu.
Zhao Qihu is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 170 kilograms, with solid muscles all over his body.
Mu Mu was half a head shorter than him and was also rather thin.
Standing in front of Zhao Hu, he appeared somewhat frail.
"Don't hold back." Zhao Hu cracked his knuckles. "On the battlefield, the enemy won't show mercy just because you're young."
Mu Mu nodded and assumed a defensive stance.
Zhao Hu launched the first attack, his fist slamming into Mu Mu's chest with a whooshing sound.
Mu Mu dodged to the side, and at the same time kicked Zhao Hu's knee.
His movements were clean and swift, carrying a ruthless edge.
Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, not expecting this kid to react so quickly.
He regained his footing and attacked again.
The two struggled together.
Mumu's advantage is her agility and quick reflexes.
Zhao Hu's advantages are his strength and experience.
At first, Mu Mu was on the defensive and was hit several times, making him wince in pain.
But he did not back down; instead, he fought with increasing ferocity.
He remembered the techniques Qi Mingyu had taught him: avoid the opponent's strengths and attack their weaknesses, finding their vulnerabilities.
Finally, during a struggle, Mu Mu seized an opportunity and used a chokehold to pin Zhao Hu to the ground.
"I'm impressed." Zhao Hu patted the ground and admitted defeat with a smile. "I didn't expect you to be so amazing. You've been hiding your true strength."
Mu Mu let go of his hand, stood up, and wiped the sweat from her face.
My muscles were aching terribly, but I felt a great sense of accomplishment.
This kind of exhaustion is completely different from the exhaustion of saving lives in the emergency room.
The exhaustion in the ambulance ward is a mental torment.
The fatigue here is a physical challenge, a steady progress made step by step.
The days passed by.
Mu Mu spends her days training, patrolling, and on guard duty.
I get up before dawn and don't get back to the dormitory until late at night.
He is now a patrolman and needs to live in a dormitory, but because of the special nature of the base, the entire base is only so big, and he can go home in no time.
Therefore, soldiers could apply to return home once every three days.
Qi Mingyu would certainly give it the green light.
Mu Mu's life became incredibly regular and fulfilling.
The high-intensity training transformed him completely.
His originally slender physique gradually developed smooth muscle lines.
His skin had been tanned a healthy wheat color by the training field lights, and his eyes had become even more determined.
He looks much more mature and composed than his actual age.
That evening, Mu Mu unusually came home early.
He pushed open the door and saw Zhong Tiyun cooking.
"Mom," he called out.
Zhong Tiyun turned around, saw her son, and her eyes lit up: "Mumu is back? Sit down and rest, dinner will be ready soon."
She put down her work, walked over, and looked Mu Mu up and down. She sighed with emotion, "You've really grown up. You're becoming more and more like a man. I always thought you were still young, but now you look even more energetic than your dad was when he was young."
Mu Mu was a little embarrassed and avoided her scrutinizing gaze: "Mom, I'm all grown up now."
"Yes, yes, you've grown up. Your training must be tough, right? You've lost a lot of weight, but you've also become much stronger."
"It's not hard work, it's quite interesting," Mu Mu said.
He genuinely found it interesting.
He felt a great sense of accomplishment every time he learned a new weapon, completed a high-intensity training session, or successfully handled a simulated emergency.
During the meal, Zhou Jianghai couldn't help but praise, "Mu Mu has changed so much. Even her eyes are different now. Before, she had the gentleness of a doctor, but now she has the toughness of a soldier."
Qi Mingyu also smiled: "Mu Mu performed very well in training and made rapid progress. Zhao Qihu praised him to me several times."
Mu Mu took a bite of rice, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
It feels very reassuring to be recognized.
Thinking back to when he was searching for new islands with the fleet, he was very depressed.
I always felt that humanity had no future, and even thought about ending it all by dying.
Looking back now, it was really foolish.
At that time, I was just bored out of my mind.
Regardless of what the future holds for humanity, survival is the most fundamental thing.
Only by living can one have the opportunity to protect those they want to protect.
Only by staying alive can we wait for a turning point.
He is no longer confused at all.
The path ahead is clear: hone your skills, protect your family, and safeguard this habitat.
This is enough.
