"Get out of the car, you pigs!" A sergeant with a loud voice was yelling. A line of military vehicles lined up in front of him, and the recruits on top were getting off.
Like everyone else, amid the sergeant's roar, Alwin jumped out of the car with his luggage and stood in a row shivering in the snow while looking around. Standing, looking at the place where he is now.
The location they are in should be a playground. Many transport vehicles are parked here, and a large number of people like Alwin are gathering here.
There were many lampposts erected around, and the light of the searchlights illuminated the playground as bright as day. Elwin couldn't help but cover his face with his hands. He hadn't experienced such strong light in a long time.
Some tall buildings surround the playground, but perhaps the searchlight light is too strong, causing these buildings to be basically shrouded in shadow, looking like giant beasts hiding their bodies in the darkness, exuding A different kind of atmosphere.
Amid the roar of the sergeant, Elwin and others formed a simple queue and walked towards one of the buildings.
Walking closer to the building, Alwin recognized that it was a huge hangar, which made Alwin feel a lot more at ease, and he couldn't help but feel a little familiar with the building in front of him.
As a ground handler for the airline before the disaster, Elwin was still very familiar with the hangar, which greatly reduced his fear of this unfamiliar military camp.
Although the German army has not been deployed on the front line against alien creatures, everyone knows that this will happen sooner or later as the war continues.
And now, Aylwin feels that various countries are preparing to send Germans to the front line.
But this is no problem for Alvin.
¡°Compared with the dangers that may be encountered on the battlefield, Elwin feels that starving to death or freezing to death is more terrifying.
For this reason, Alwin is one of the few people here who took the initiative to sign up to join the army.
Most of the remaining people are basically recruited by various countries through forced enlistment. In the eyes of these people, going to the front line to feed bugs is the most terrifying thing.
However, for Elwin, as long as he can have enough to eat by joining 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 alien creatures, at least he can have enough to eat while alive. , so as not to starve to death.
Several years have passed since the disaster struck. During these years, Alwin lost his family and barely had enough to eat.
Although he has always worked for the German government in exchange for some food, in today's environment, if he does not save a little, it is very likely that after this meal there will be no next meal.
This also led to the fact that after hearing that joining the army would give him enough food, Alwin took the initiative to join the army and was sent to this military camp.
Originally, Elwin thought that he might just be trained briefly and then be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
It was just like the war stories his grandfather told him when he was a child.
During World War II, his grandfather was drafted into the army and sent to Stalingrad. After surviving the worst winter in German history, Alwin's grandfather was lucky enough to survive.
¡°However, this German veteran who survived World War II had already passed away before the disaster. He failed to survive illness and aging.
But as Elwin passed the health quarantine at the hangar entrance and entered the hangar, he realized that he didn't seem to be here to be cannon fodder.
Because in the huge hangar he walked into, there were many soldiers undergoing training. They were all equipped with exoskeletons and powered armor that Elwin had only seen in science fiction movies and games before, and like him The same recruits were randomly assigned to squads.
Seeing this scene, Alwin¡¯s originally uneasy heart seemed to calm down.
If you can wear an exoskeleton or powered armor, you can't be considered cannon fodder and can be consumed casually, right?
After all, no one would equip cannon fodder with such advanced equipment, right?
However, unexpectedly, Elwin was not assigned to a team equipped with exoskeletons and power armor, but was brought to a group of people who looked like ground technicians.
¡°These are your additional recruits, all of whom have experience in mechanical maintenance.¡± The sergeant leading the team assigned Elwin and two other recruits to this team, and then continued to assign other recruits.
This makes Elwin feel a little regretful.?Although it is said that the probability of surviving as a local soldier is much higher than that of a combat soldier, looking at those handsome exoskeletons and powered armor that only appear in science fiction works, he still wants to try them. impulse.
The veteran on the side seemed to see what he was thinking. He reached out and patted Alvin on the shoulder and smiled at him: "Boy, don't be envious, we are in the maintenance class, and their handsome big toys will eventually be delivered. We are here to repair it, and if you want to play, there are plenty of opportunities."
"Thank you, I understand." After being comforted by the veteran, Alwin also responded and hurriedly said hello to the veteran: "Hello, my name is Alwin. I come from Berlin. I heard that it can be done here. Eat enough."
"Ah, another guy who came to be a soldier just to have enough food!" The veterans all laughed and showed goodwill towards Elwin's reason for joining the army.
One of the veterans also took out an energy bar from his body and threw it to Alvin. He smiled at him and said, "Eat, you can really have a full meal here. Besides, we are ground staff and we don't need to train like them. As long as Just be able to fix these big toys.¡±
Seeing the energy bar thrown to him, Alwin wanted to put it in his pocket, but feeling his hungry stomach, he couldn't help but open the package and put the energy bar into his mouth.
"Hey, what did you three do before? Have you ever repaired anything?" The veteran who looked like the leader of their maintenance team asked Alwin and the other two recruits.
After the two recruits next to Alvin glanced at each other, one of them said: "I studied car repair. I opened a repair shop before the disaster. This is my brother. He studied the same things as me. .¡±
"I used to be a ground handler and work for an airline. After the disaster, the planes couldn't fly and the company closed down. I had been living in Berlin before." Alwin also finished chewing the energy bar and expressed himself to several veterans. introduce.
While they were introducing themselves, other teams were doing the same thing, but relatively speaking, the requirements of other teams were obviously much stricter than those of the ground crew. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
