The chapter opens with a soliloquy by Lin-memes, who tells yuntiankong that he's going to join the suicide team. He's got a special aura, he says, and he'll do well in the army. He takes leng mo to the squad's barracks, which is filled with a "nose-burning stench" . The stench is so bad, in fact, that it's like a rotting flesh smell. . He tells the new guy to check out the dorms first, because the stench is getting worse and worse. The smell is almost like rotting flesh, but compared to that of the dwarf village the day before, this smell is nothing. The new guy is psyched to be assigned to the suicide squad, but he doesn't want to think about anything. He just wants to do his job.
