Chapter 157 So White That It Dazzled Ebony's Eyes
On the fourth day of the New Year.
Ebony and Janet went to Firenze together.
The filming of the show started from the fifth day.
On the morning of the fifth day, when Ebony was in a sound sleep in the hotel, she was awakened by a knock on the door.
She looked at the clock, and it was half past four in the morning.
She got up and opened the door.
Outside the door, there was a female soldier in military uniform, several program staff members, and a photographer .
The photographer aimed the camera at her face very closely. She didn't care much about it, and just looked at the female soldier.
The female soldier stood up straight and said with a stern face, "Go wash up now, and meet us downstairs in ten minutes."
Ten minutes!
Ebony arrived at the first floor in five minutes with her luggage. She showed up without make-up and wore a ponytail.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw two officers standing in the center of the hall - a male officer and a female officer. The female officer was the one that woke her up just now, and the male officer probably was the officer who was supposed to wake up the male guests.
Ebony walked up to the two officers. Seeing that they ignored her, she put the suitcase at her feet and stood up straight by them.
The two officers looked at her, then looked at their watches, then looked at her again.
They seemed a little surprised that she could be in place so quickly.
After a while, the ten-minute assembly time was past, but no one came down other than her.
The expressions of the two officers became unpleasant.
After waiting for another five minutes, the elevator finally opened.
A young man with unkempt hair whose clothes were buttoned upside down showed up. He stood on tiptoe, lifting his heels, stumbled out towards them.
As soon as he came over, he stood beside Ebony.
When he saw Ebony, he suddenly shouted in surprise, "Sis!"
Ebony turned her eyes and saw that it was Alfredo Stokes.
She didn't know that Alfredo would also participate in this show, and Dolores didn't tell her.
"Don't talk!" The male officer suddenly scolded sharply.
Alfredo was startled, immediately shut his mouth, and stood up obediently.
A few minutes later, the elevator opened again. The man who came out was pulling a suitcase. He was originally walking very leisurely, but when he saw the scene outside, he quickly accelerated and trotted over.
The man stood beside Alfredo, and when he looked at Alfredo, he inadvertently saw Ebony on the other side.
He immediately greeted happily, "Miss Gibson!"
Ebony glanced over and saw that it was Jeremy Lautner.
Jeremy also joined the show?
But come to think of it, the director of "Soul of the Army" was exactly the director of "Survival Game". If Ebony was invited, they should also invite Jeremy, who had also participated in "Survival Game" and won the third place.
Thinking of this, Ebony panicked again.
Would the two jinxes - Victor Torres and Lorena Gibson appear as well later?
Fortunately, they did not appear.
An hour later, the eight guests finally assembled.
The last guest who came was a girl. She was very young and beautiful.
Ebony recognized her. Her name was Sarina. She was a C-list artist, who had been in show business for over a year but didn't have any work. But because of her beauty, she had many die-hard fans.
So she was basically a star with a huge fan base.
Ebony must have a grudge with Sarina in her previous life.
In an online drama casting, the sponsor chose Ebony over Sarina.
In the end, Sarina's team harassed Ebony for three months. Not only did they attack Ebony from the perspective of appearance, family background, identity and self-cultivation, Ebony was also rumored that the reason why she got the role was that she slept with the director.
During that time, Ebony was scolded badly by netizens. They didn't care what the truth was. Anyways, she had so much mudslinging for them to criticize for.
At that time, Dolores also issued a clarification and a lawyer's letter, but to no avail.
Below the clarification tweet on Twitter, there were only a few dozen comments.
However, there were 40,000 to 50,000 comments under the tweet of the rumor.
Netizens were only willing to see what they wanted to see. As for what the truth was, no one cares.
Ebony was a little surprised to see Sarina. It was not because how much she hated Sarina, but because Sarina's character. Wasn't she a spoiled and delicate girl?
Could she endure hardship in this kind of military program?
But it didn't matter. Ebony didn't want to meddle in other people's business. She didn't really hate Sarina. After all, in her previous life, there were too many people who gave her a hard time. Sarina was just one of them, and she wasn't the one that impressed her the most.
If it wasn't for seeing Sarina again now, Ebony would have forgotten that there was such a person as Sarina.
Before she came down, she put on make-up and had her hair styled.
Apparently that was why she came down late. She was busy with it.
The expressions of the few guests who arrived first became a little subtle.
At this time, the male officer said, "Eight people in all, seven of whom were late. Is it because we didn't make ourselves clear?"
For a while, everyone was silent.
The female officer suddenly said, "Ebony, step out."
Ebony took a half step forward quietly.
The male officer said, "Other people get down! 30 push-ups for men and 30 squats for women!"
Everyone immediately looked at each other.
Alfredo was the first person to get down. He often worked out, so doing 30 push-ups was not a problem.
After Alfredo got down, the other boys followed suit one after another.
The girls also squatted down.
At this moment, a sobbing suddenly sounded in the crowd.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Sarina.
Sarina squatted on the ground. She hugged her face, crying.
She whimpered and said, "When I was coming down just now, I sprained my foot."
It's no small matter for a guest to be injured. After the program team negotiated with the two officers, the program team called Sarina aside and asked the medical staff to take a look at her leg.
After everyone's punishment was over, they were ready to set off.
Only then did Sarina wipe away her tears and limped back to the team accompanied by a staff.
Eight people set off by bus.
In the bus, Ebony sat in the back row, Alfredo and Jeremy trotted over and sat next to her.
Ebony glanced at them and said nothing.
At this moment, Alfredo whispered to Ebony, "Sarina was lame in her left leg when she was inside, and then after she came out, it became her right leg."
Jeremy heard it from the side and sneered, "Her acting was so fake. I feel bad for us that we had to wait for her that long, yet she still had the mood to put on make-up and do her hair."
At this time, a female artist named Abigail Murray suddenly shouted, "Ebony, go and sit in front."
Ebony was stunned for a moment. She looked at Abigail, and asked, "Why?"
Abigail clicked her tongue and said, "There are so many empty seats. Why do you have to sit with two boys?"
The atmosphere became quiet after her words came out.
Ebony frowned, and asked in a cold voice, "Do I need your consent regarding who I am sitting with?"
Abigail opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but another female artist named Miranda Byrne persuaded, "Leave them alone, Abi. Maybe she likes to hang out with boys. It's none of our business."
Her words were really harsh.
Both Jeremy and Alfredo's faces became unpleasant.
Ebony suddenly said, "You have a foul mouth! Is there a hemorrhoid on your tongue?"
Miranda was stunned, and turned to look at her in disbelief.
Ebony raised her eyebrows, saying "You! What's the hell are you looking at?"
Miranda was about to stand up in an instant, but the officer in front suddenly shouted, "Quiet down!" 
The atmosphere quieted down with the officer's interference.
For the next half hour, no one in the bus spoke.
Half an hour later, their bus entered Firenze Military District.
When the bus was driven on a trail in the camp, they saw topless soldiers outside who were exercising in the morning.
Ebony's eyes instantly lit up.
After a while, everyone got out of the car. Men and women separately lined up in two lines.
Ebony stood in the last of the female line. She was taking her suitcase and was at a distance from the person in front of her.
At this moment, Ebony suddenly felt that someone was watching her.
She keenly narrowed her eyes, and as soon as she looked up, she saw that a window was open on the third floor of the dormitory building next to her.
Behind that window, there seemed to be a man in military uniform standing.
Because of the angle, Ebony didn't see the man's face. She only saw the man stretching out a hand.
It was a slender and clean hand hanging on the window frame, and the hand was so white that it dazzled Ebony's eyes.
