Chapter 191
Jerry successfully became a Black Star Trooper . He was now part of the 9th trooper unit .
The unit had a total of 15 members, including himself . 12 of the 15 were newbies . In other words, there were only 3 troopers in his unit that survived the mother nest war . Moreover, according to rumors, only his unit leader, Sub Lieutenant Haweza, was an actual veteran . The other 2 were only slightly more senior than himself .
It was 3 months after the mother nest war . The prominent planet tours had been going on for a month, and it finished carrying about 25,000 people to tour the planet . This was only a small portion of the Hope’s total population, and many who had the required criteria still stood waiting for their turn . Those who didn’t have the requirement could only satisfy themselves with the pictures and videos brought back by their friends or neighbors . They were so envious that their eyes were tearing up .
However, none of the Black Star Troopers had the time to be envious because they needed to use the 3 months to familiarize themselves with the Ultimate Vaccine .
All of the new troopers were injected with the Ultimate Vaccine and Potion X since they were all Homo Evolutis . This would allow them to safely breathe in the new planet’s air and drink its water . However, the benefits came with its own adversities as well . For a long period of time after injecting the Ultimate Vaccine, the new troopers would walk around with bruises all over from constant tripping . Thankfully, they managed to familiarize themselves with the new sensation within the 3 months .
Early that morning, all 15 members of the 9th unit gathered at the hangar . Wearing his space armor prototype 1 complete with a pair of Gaussian rifle and sawblade, unit leader Haweza frowned at the 14 merry-making soldiers before him . He thought about what Guang Zhen, the defense unit’s general and Black Star Trooper’s vice general, told him yesterday .
"Sub lieutenant Haweza, with your experience as an ex US marine lieutenant, I believe you have your own opinion on the current state of the Hope’s military . It’s appalling, I know; any trained military man or woman would say the same .
"In terms of technology and weaponry, we’re miles ahead of Earth’s old military . In fact, any defense unit battalion could rival Earth’s trained armored unit . Alas, combat capability alone doesn’t define what makes a good soldier . Without the necessary discipline, self-awareness, willingness to sacrifice for the greater good, and most importantly, the ingrained instinct to follow orders on the battlefield, can we still call them soldiers?
"The defense unit has its own regime to fix all these weaknesses, but it is slightly unique with the Black Star Troopers . You are mankind’s ultimate military unit, so there can’t be fear or reluctance during danger or combat . You are to make sure that you are as strong as steel! You must be the end to any threat to mankind! You must fight for humanity! You must be feared but mustn’t have fear!
Sub Lieutenant Haweza, I want you to train the troopers with the most severe training possible! Ignore the fact that they are valuable Homo Evolutis, because they are only cowards at the moment! Only after real training can they become mankind’s protectors . So ignore their cries of fatigue and distress and whip them into shape! Don’t hold back and train them to become fearless fighters!"
Haweza remembered distinctly what happened during the combat with the mother nest’s monsters . There were not only deserters from the Defense Unit, there were Black Star Troopers that were afraid to get into the heat of the battle . When he stood behind Guang Zhen as the man executed the scared soldier, all that went through his mind wasn’t Guang Zhen’s ruthlessness but his family back in the Hope, his wife and son . If they fell, his family was going to become nutrients for the alien… He was not going to let that happen!
Therefore, he had to fight . He hated and despised those that didn’t!
Guang Zhen was right, cowards should die from shame!
Haweza calmed himself and ordered loudly, "Listen up, kids, there will be no theoretical lesson, no shooting range or physical training… Today, we, the 9th unit, shall start our field training!"
The 14 people were mentally ready because about half a month ago, units 1, 2, and 3 had started their field training . Of course, those 3 units had more veterans in them . In fact, most of the members were from the Black Star Unit itself . They had no newbies, and the newest member for them had survived the mother nest war, so instead of calling it field training, for the first 3 units, it was more of a body warming .
