"Forty-four, forty-five, forty-six..."
At this time, at the other end of the field, Sarah was lying flat on the ground, her legs bent together, her head wrapped with both hands, and she sat up from the ground with the strength of her upper body, and then lay down again, and so on.
A girl of the same age as her was holding her legs down, slowly counting the numbers in her mouth, which increased every time she stood up, but her face was full of shock.
Sweat kept coming out of her body, wetting Sarah's hair and clothes. Her face was flushed due to the large amount of exercise, her breathing gradually became a little faster, and her body began to tremble unconsciously, but she still gritted her teeth. Keep yourself going.
Of course, when the number read fifty, after getting up for the last time, Sarah was like a deflated rubber ball, lying heavily on the cushion beneath her, gasping for air, and her chest began to rise and fall violently.
"You...you are so amazing. You are the first girl I have ever seen who completed all the projects."
Just after completing all the training items, the girl who held Sarah's legs down recovered from the shock, her eyes full of admiration.
Then she raised her hand high and followed the black instructor not far away who was holding a splint and said: "Sir, here!"
The black instructors walking around had naturally noticed this place a long time ago. Before the girl could finish speaking, he walked over and asked you directly without any nonsense:
"Name."
"Sarah."
The black instructor flipped through the list on the plywood and quickly found Sarah's column. Except for sit-ups, all the other columns were ticked, which surprised him.
Taking into account the physical differences between men and women, although the amount of training for girls will be less than that of boys, it will not drop too much. This is the first time in the past three days that he has seen a girl reach all the standards, let alone the other party. Only thirteen years old.
But he didn't pay too much attention to it this time. He just put a √ on the sit-ups column with a pen, and then said to Sarah who was lying there: "Not bad, you have completed your training today. You can do it." Choose to live freely here or leave."
Hearing this, everyone around him turned their gazes towards He Sarah, their eyes full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
After struggling to get up from the mat, Sarah felt throbbing pain in her hands, waist and abdomen. Although her legs were also a little sore, she had exercised, so it was not that serious.
"Thank...thank you, sir!" She smiled hard at the black instructor, walked slowly to the side, gave up her position to others, then turned around, intending to leave and find a place to sit down.
Just when Sarah walked out of the crowd, a figure suddenly walked up to her, supported her slightly bowed body, and then handed a bottle filled with water to her side.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Feeling the familiar aura, Sarah immediately leaned on the other person's body, pressing her whole weight on him, and said with some discomfort: "It's... it's still, let's rest for a while."
As Sarah came closer, Brian also hugged her. Seeing her closing her eyes and humming in discomfort, he felt a little distressed. He put the mouth of the water bottle to her mouth and said, "Here, let's drink some water. "
The water in the water bottle came from a nearby water supply point. Of course, it contained cold water. It wasn't that he didn't want to get hot water, but that Americans didn't have the habit of drinking hot water at all, and they didn't even have the habit of boiling water bottles.
Brian didn't quite understand this, but since everyone else could drink, he just followed the Romans.
At the beginning, it made him feel very uncomfortable. Although he could drink it directly, it would feel cold in his stomach after drinking it. It was not as comfortable as the warm feeling of hot water in his stomach. But there was nothing he could do about it. You can only adapt slowly.
Slowly opening her mouth, Sarah looked at the mouth of the water bottle beside her mouth, but did not reach out to take the water bottle, but slightly raised her head.
Seeing this, Brian shook his head helplessly, and with a tacit understanding, he raised the bottle, slowly tilted it at an angle, and poured out the water inside.
"Gulu...Gulu..."
With her throat rolling, Sarah drank the water bit by bit, and her dry lips were immediately soaked by the water. After drinking the water, she stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, and then she felt much better.
After the two of them walked around for a while, they sat down in the stands on the side and watched the entire arena crowded with people. Although the temperature was extremely low now, everyone's face was dripping with sweat.
"Ah! I'm so exhausted!"
As soon as she sat down, Sarah immediately felt her whole body relax, her whole body softened, and she half leaned on Brian, complaining: "This exercise is too torturous!"
Then she seemed to remember something, turned her head and said: "Have you noticed that in the entire field, except for the instructors, there is no one over the age of sixteen. I just asked how old the other people were. The tallest one is only fifteen years old. Do you know what this means? "
"Huh? Why do you suddenly care about these things now?"
Brian was a little surprised when he heard Sarah's question. He knew that with the other person's temperament, he would not pay too much attention to these things. Today, he suddenly asked about this kind of thing, which really made him feel a little embarrassed. strange.
"I didn't know what happened, but Lulu told me."
Sensing the questioning tone in Brian's tone, Sarah said: "When she first entered this school, she met many people much older than her, but when she was in the classroom, these people It seemed like he was taken to another place and disappeared suddenly, and he was never seen again, so I asked out of curiosity."
"Lulu?"
"Ah! That's the one who held my legs down when I was doing sit-ups!"
"oh..."
Subconsciously touching his chin, Brian looked towards the direction of the vagina, trying to find the girl who held down Sarah's leg just now.
He was a little curious as to whether the other party revealed the news to Sarah intentionally or unintentionally, and what purpose he had.
"Um?"
Sarah waited for a long time but did not hear Brian speak. She raised her head leaning on his shoulder with some doubts, but saw that the other person was looking ahead in a trance, obviously in a trance.
This discovery made her angry, but then the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes full of cunning, she suddenly hugged Brian's arm, looked at him with big watery eyes, and said coquettishly: :
"Ouch~! Tell me~!"
This hug brought Brian back to his senses in an instant. When he turned his head, he saw Sarah's expression and listened to the sweet tone. He was caught off guard and his cheeks turned red, and his heart beat unconsciously. It began to beat violently, and it was rare for him to stutter and say: "You... what are you doing! Hurry... let go!"
"Haha~~!"
Seeing Brian in such embarrassment for the first time, Sarah couldn't hold it in any longer and started laughing heartlessly, and she could even see tears flowing out of the corners of her eyes.
Listening to Sarah's wanton laughter, Brian just glanced sideways at the other party and immediately understood that he had been tricked. However, he was not angry at all, and just sat there quietly, waiting for the other party to finish laughing.
"..."
Sarah laughed dryly for a while, but when she saw no response from Brian, she stopped laughing immediately. Like an eggplant beaten by frost, she wilted, curled her lips, and muttered: "You are so boring... .."
"Although I don't know what the reason is, I can more or less guess something."
Seeing Sarah's smile fade, Brian put his hands on his seat, leaned back slightly, and answered the question that the other party had just asked.
"The Atlanta quarantine area should be in a very weak state now, otherwise we would not call for reinforcements from other quarantine areas. However, we came in at the right time in the morning and looked at all the checkpoints on the road. There are checkpoints at each checkpoint. There are more than a dozen soldiers in charge, so it is definitely not a weakness in force. There should even be a surplus of force. There should be a problem with the number of residents in the quarantine area. This quarantine area is now very likely to have a serious shortage of labor, so all residents are required to Work hard every day."
"I consolidated the intelligence a little during the lunch break. In addition to opening up roads for the support convoys outside and the upcoming maintenance tasks in the quarantine area, the troops in the quarantine area will definitely not have large-scale conflicts with infected people from the outside world in the short term. , at most they are sent out to collect supplies."
"In the absence of any hostile forces, there will certainly be no large-scale casualties among the soldiers in the quarantine area."
"The surplus of soldiers indicates that students in schools will definitely not be allowed to serve as soldiers in the quarantine area in the near future. The age of these 17- and 18-year-old boys is obviously biased compared to us. "The quarantine area is in urgent need of professional talents and cannot support them in studying for five or six years to learn more complex knowledge and majors."
"But it is certainly impossible to use them as ordinary labor force, so I speculate that they were taken away to a special place to learn a profession that can be quickly learned and is urgently needed. After all, the support convoy will arrive soon. I estimate that there will be at least tens of thousands of people. The problem of the ordinary labor force will be solved sooner or later. What the quarantine area is lacking now is professional talents. To put it bluntly, the current military strategy for students in schools should be to focus on quality rather than quantity. "
