"Get out of the car, you pigs!" A sergeant with a loud voice was shouting, and
the army truck lined up in front of him, and the recruits above were getting
out of the car.
Like everyone else, in the roar of the non-commissioned officer, Elwin carried
his luggage and jumped out of the car with the others. While standing in a row
shivering in the snow, he looked around. Watching, looking at where he is now.
Their location should be a playground, where many transport vehicles are
parked, and a large number of people like Elwin are gathering here.
There were many lampposts erected around, and the light of searchlights
illuminated the playground as bright as day. Elwin couldn't help covering his
face with his hands. He hadn't felt such a strong light for a long time.
Some tall buildings surround the playground, but perhaps the light of the
searchlights is too strong, causing these buildings to be basically shrouded
in shadows, looking like a giant beast hiding its body in the dark, exuding A
different kind of breath.
Amid the roar of the sergeant, Elwin and the others formed a simple line and
walked towards one of the buildings.
When he approached the building, Elwin recognized that it was a huge hangar,
which made Elwin feel a lot settled, and he couldn't help but feel a little
intimacy with the building in front of him.
As a ground crew member of the airline before the disaster, he was familiar
with the hangar Elwin, which greatly reduced his fear of this strange military
camp.
Although the German army has not been put on the front line against aliens,
everyone knows that this will happen sooner or later as the war continues.
Now, Elwin feels that countries are ready to put Germans on the front line.
But this is not a problem for Elwin.
Compared to the dangers that might be encountered on the battlefield, Elwin
felt that it was still more terrifying to starve to death or freeze to death.
For this reason, Elwin is one of the few people here who volunteered to sign
up for the army.
And most of the remaining people are basically recruited by the forced
enlistment of various countries. In these people's eyes, going to the front
line to feed the bugs is the most terrifying.
However, for Elwin, as long as he can eat enough to join the army, he doesn't
mind going to the front line to fight alien creatures, even if he is really
killed in the end and feeds the alien creatures, but at least he can eat his
full meal while he is still alive. , Will not starve to death.
It has been several years since the disaster struck. In these years, Elwin
lost his family and hardly had enough to eat.
Although he has always worked for the German government in exchange for some
food, in the current environment, if you don't save a little, it is very
likely that after eating this meal, there will be no next meal.
This also led to Alwin taking the initiative to join the army and was sent to
this barracks after hearing that he could have enough to eat.
Originally, Elwin felt that he might just be trained briefly, and then he
would be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
It's like the war story that grandpa told him when he was a kid.
During World War II, his grandfather was drafted into the army and then sent
to Stalingrad, where after one of the worst winters in German history, Elwin's
grandfather survived fortunately.
However, the German veteran who survived World War II had passed away long
before the disaster, and he could not survive the disease and aging.
Only after Alwin entered the hangar after going through the sanitary
quarantine at the door of the hangar, he found that he didn't seem to be a
cannon fodder.
Because in the huge hangar he walked into, many soldiers were receiving
training. They were all equipped with exoskeleton and power armor that Elwin
had only seen in science fiction movies and games before, and they were like
him. The same recruits were randomly assigned to squads.
Seeing this scene, Elwin's previously uneasy heart seemed to settle down
suddenly.
If you can wear exoskeleton or power armor, how about you can not be
considered as cannon fodder that can be consumed casually, right?
After all, no one would equip cannon fodder with such advanced equipment,
would they?
Unexpectedly, however, Elwin was not assigned to those squads equipped with
exoskeleton and power armor, but was taken to a group of people who looked
like ground technicians.
"These are your supplementary recruits, all of whom have experience in
mechanical maintenance." The non-commissioned officer who led the team
assigned Alwin and the other two recruits to this squad, and then proceeded to
assign other recruits.
This makes Elwin feel a bit regretful. Although it is said that the
probability of survival of the local diligence is far greater than the
probability of survival of combat soldiers, but looking at the handsome
exoskeletons and power armor that only appear in science fiction works, he I
still have the urge to try it.
The veteran on the side seemed to have seen his thoughts, stretched out his
hand and patted Elwin on the shoulder, and smiled at him: "Boy, don't be
envious, we are the maintenance team, and their handsome big toys will
eventually be delivered. We are here to fix it, and you have opportunities if
you want to play."
"Thank you, I know." After being so comforted by the veteran, Elwin also
reacted and hurriedly said hello to the veteran: "Hello, my name is Elwin. I'm
from Berlin. I heard that it can be here. Eat a full meal."
"Ah, another guy who came to serve as a soldier to get enough food!" The
veterans all laughed, showing kindness to Elwin's reason for coming to serve
as a soldier.
One of the veterans also took out an energy bar from his body and threw it to
Elwin. Uukanshu.com smiled at him and said: "Let’s eat, you can really eat
here. In addition, we are ground crews, so we don’t need to train like them,
as long as we can fix these big toys."
Seeing the energy bar thrown to him, although Alwin wanted to put it in his
pocket, he could not help unpacking the energy bar and put it in his mouth,
feeling his hungry stomach.
"Hey, what did the three of you do before? Have you repaired anything?" The
veteran who looked like the squad leader of their maintenance squad asked
Alwin and the other two recruits.
After the two recruits beside Alwin looked at each other, one of them said: "I
learned car repair. Before the disaster, I opened a repair shop by myself.
This is my brother. He is the same as I learned. ."
"I used to be an airplane ground handler and worked in an airline. After the
disaster, the plane couldn't fly, and the company went bankrupt. I had been
living in Berlin before." Erwin also ate the energy bar and acted himself to
several veterans. introduce.
While they are doing self-introduction, other teams are doing the same thing,
but relatively speaking, the requirements of other teams are obviously much
stricter than those of ground crews.
