Chapter 32: Aim the gun at your comrades. Are you tired of living?
A group of recruits under the scorching sun eagerly awaited the three leading platoon leaders. Second Platoon Leader Gao Jie pulled out a roster, declaring, “Those called, step forward and collect your rifle!”
After flipping through the roster, he loudly announced, “Chen Ming!”
“Present!” Chen Ming responded promptly, stepping forward to receive the rifle.
As the platoon leader read out names, Squad Leader Li Long handed rifles to each recruit, ensuring the correct serial numbers. Holding his rifle, Chen Ming imitated a guard’s stance, solemnly responding, “Yes!”
Others watched with envy as recruits received their rifles; even the usually carefree He Dong displayed a different demeanor. The gun awarding ceremony bestows rifles and a profound sense of duty.
With the oath-taking ceremony following the rifle distribution, recruits, holding their weapons, pledged allegiance. The atmosphere was solemn, and the ceremony concluded when the last recruit received their rifle.
The platoon leader ordered, “Return to your squads.” Smiles of affection filled the faces of the leaders as they witnessed the recruits cherishing their newly acquired rifles. Back in the dormitory, the recruits, now relaxed, played with their rifles. He Dong playfully aimed at Yu Jun, mimicking a scene from an old movie. Laughter filled the room.
Observing this, Chen Ming, aware of the seriousness of pointing guns at others, felt a moment of concern. Before he could intervene, the squad leader swiftly kicked He Dong for his inappropriate gesture, maintaining discipline.
He Dong’s hefty body thudded on the floor, causing the entire floor to shake, as the squad leader angrily scolded, “He Dong, are you trying to get yourself killed?!”
The laughter ceased, and the recruits stood in silence, visibly intimidated. Even Yu Jun, pointed at by He Dong, cautiously stepped back.
He Dong, still bewildered, sat up, rubbing his sore buttocks, asking, “Squad leader, what happened? There are no bullets in the gun anyway.”
The squad leader, stern-faced, raised two fingers and emphasized, “First, never point the gun at your teammates! Second, unless during target practice or combat, always keep the safety on!”
He Dong, now grasping the severity of the situation, questioned the need for caution since the guns had no bullets. The squad leader warned, “Whether there are bullets or not, pointing at teammates is forbidden. If the platoon or company commanders find out, you’ll be in deep trouble!”
The recruits nodded in fear, realizing the gravity of mishandling firearms. The deputy squad leader, Chen Ming, reinforced the message, explaining the importance of forming safe habits with guns, even when they contain no bullets.
Chen Ming, having a bit more knowledge about guns from his pre-rebirth days, stressed the potential harm of even blank ammunition at close range. The recruits listened attentively, nodding as if crushing garlic.
