Chapter 123: Chapter 124: Training Results
The Combat Instructor said to stop training, but Gray Wolf and the others were not prepared to let Chang Ning and B Group off just like that.
Just as Chang Ning and B Group had just formed up, they were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of A Group’s members.
Despite being on guard at all times, the gap between rookies and veterans became apparent at this moment.
A Group’s veterans were very good at seizing timing; the time they chose to act was almost exactly the same as the time the Combat Instructor ordered them to stop training.
This caused Chang Ning and B Group’s members to be unable to react in time while executing the order.
Paintball guns in A Group’s hands poured paintballs onto B Group and Chang Ning.
After the crackling gunshots, just as Chang Ning and the others reacted and prepared to fight back, A Group’s people had already disappeared.
According to the game rules, anyone hit by paintballs must accept punishment.
In just one short day, Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang did no less than 1000 push-ups, plus their previous combat training; even someone with Chang Ning’s perverted stamina was starting to struggle, let alone Xiao Zhuang and the others.
Every single one of them was completely exhausted; without Chang Ning’s help, they probably wouldn’t even be able to get up from the ground.
“When do you think this will end?”
Xiao Zhuang asked irritably.
Being passively beaten was not his style. But Wild Wolf wouldn’t let them take the initiative, leaving them, who were already at a disadvantage, even more powerless to fight back.
“What else? Of course, when we can cooperate with tacit understanding.”
Chang Ning helped Xiao Zhuang up and said that this was only the first day, and their tacit understanding was indeed somewhat poor. Who knows when they would reach Gao Zhong Dui’s standard for them.
“Anyway, as long as we don’t meet Wild Wolf’s standard in a day, this hard days won’t end in a day.”
Qiang Zi weakly chimed in, looking at Chang Ning with a strange gaze.
He thought to himself that the gap between people was just too big.
Among the seven, his stamina wasn’t top-tier but could rank in the front.
Yet now almost everyone was too tired to stand, while only Chang Ning seemed unaffected and could still chat and laugh with them; it was truly perverted.
“Qiang Zi, don’t look at me like that; it makes me uneasy!”
Chang Ning knew in his heart why Qiang Zi was looking at him with eyes like he was a pervert.
The system’s secret couldn’t be revealed even on pain of death, so Chang Ning pretended to be relaxed.
“This can’t be blamed on Qiang Zi; Chang Ning, what did you grow up eating? Your stamina is too perverted!”
Even the usually calm Geng Jihui expressed envy for Chang Ning’s perverted stamina.
This guy was practically inhuman, with insanely good endurance.
“How would I know? I just eat and sleep normally. Maybe I have exceptional talent.”
Facing everyone’s curiosity, Chang Ning started playing dumb, after all, something like the system would be too shocking if revealed.
Besides, even if he said it, no one would believe him. They might even lock him up in a mental hospital as a lunatic.
Then it would be all over; this system relied on military rank upgrades.
Not to mention the personal impact of being locked in a mental hospital, it alone would restrict the system’s upgrades.
Relying on his own talent, the speed of improving strength was too slow, and no matter how good the stamina or how strong the body, it couldn’t compare to a bullet.
Improvements in all skills had to be supported by the system; without it, Chang Ning felt that relying solely on his own talent couldn’t make him proficient in everything and become a hexagonal warrior.
The seven had all been enlisted for no short time; the shortest, like Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang, had been in for nearly a year.
Besides, everyone was a scout, very familiar with crawling through mud.
After the Combat Instructor announced the end of the day’s training, everyone quickly formed up, returned to the dormitory in the 026 Logistics Warehouse, took a shower, and changed into clean combat uniforms.
Such days continued for over a month; every day besides learning different skills, they also had to deal with A Group who appeared anytime anywhere and gave them a burst of paintballs.
This group of perverts even sneaked up on Chang Ning and the others when they went to the toilet.
This led to Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang and the others maintaining high nervousness every day for this month. No matter what they were doing, they had to send three or four people to keep vigilance.
Of course, the effects were also significant.
Now A Group could hardly gain any advantage over Chang Ning and the others; sometimes A Group would flip too, and although they annihilated B Group, there were always a few members taken out each time.
Especially in the last few days, to eliminate B Group’s rookies, Gray Wolf’s A Group also paid a relatively heavy price, basically losing two or three people each time.
And they were always in sneak attack mode.
Under such surprise conditions, facing B Group’s rookies, a casualty rate of half meant the month’s training wasn’t in vain.
A Group’s members had all been tested by blood and fire, while B Group except for Chang Ning were all battlefield-less rookies.
For them to fight A Group to this extent was already remarkably excellent.
In the early morning, in B Group’s dormitory in the 026 Logistics Warehouse, the seven Special Forces Soldiers fell into deep sleep. Snores rose and fell incessantly.
Gray Wolf had quietly brought the others from A Group to the door of B Group’s dormitory.
“Gray Wolf, why not skip tonight?”
“Those little brats in B Group have gotten smart now, especially in the last few days; we’ve flipped quite a few times.”
Flying Wolf said worriedly; lately it had been weird—he always got taken out by B Group’s little brats.
This made him lose face.
“Isn’t that perfect? I actually hope B Group’s people can annihilate us all; that would prove they’ve barely passed, just lacking some actual combat experience.”
Gray Wolf Ma Da said nonchalantly.
The student surpasses the master; newcomers always rise by stepping on veterans, and he had no psychological resistance to that.
Every generation goes through this process; veterans training newcomers is a team tradition. Can’t reject it just because of losing face.
“Alright, get ready. Everyone be careful; the current rookies aren’t the same as they were a month ago.”
“If any of you unlucky ones get taken out, no need to say what happens—the rookies do push-ups, you do double.”
In the Lone Wolf Special Assault Team, Gao Zhong Dui was in charge of battlefield command, while Gray Wolf Ma Da handled training in the team.
Don’t think Gao Zhong Dui had a cold face all day; in fact, A Group’s members weren’t very afraid of Gao Zhong Dui—they dreaded facing Gray Wolf Ma Da.
Whoever offended this always cheerful guy would surely suffer hellish training.
Flying Wolf got lightly rebuked by Gray Wolf and didn’t dare say more, quickly shutting up to wait for Gray Wolf’s order.
He understood the reasoning; he was just venting.
After all, they had fought together for many years; their tacit understanding was definitely no less than B Group’s rookies.
Gray Wolf held up three fingers, then pressed them back to his palm one by one.
“Clang!”
The dormitory door was suddenly opened. Old rules: stun grenades and tear gas grenades together.
Immediately after, rhythmic gunshots came from inside the dormitory.
This time A Group’s members flipped, and it was a full team flip.
That’s right, they were all eliminated by Chang Ning and B Group’s people.
Chang Ning originally had good combat ability; before, it was because their tacit understanding wasn’t enough that they got eliminated by Gray Wolf and the others.
After being sneak attacked unpredictably for over a month, everyone had developed good tacit understanding—a glance told them what the other wanted.
With a guy like Chang Ning whose marksmanship was top-notch, annihilating A Group while losing a few people was normal.
After a brief stunned moment, Gray Wolf came to his senses and looked delighted at Chang Ning and B Group’s people standing before him.
“Not bad; from today, you can relax.”
“No need to worry about us sneaking up on you every day.”
“Alright, rookies, you can rest easy now.”
With that, Gray Wolf led A Group’s people away with smiles on their faces.
It was clear he was in a good mood tonight, even though he and his teammates had all been eliminated.
“It’s over just like that?”
Ostrich said in disbelief; for him, this month’s life was like a dream.
Living in dire straits every day, doing push-ups daily, and endless things to learn.
Hearing Gray Wolf say it was over felt unreal, followed by discomfort.
After over a month of fast-paced life, suddenly not being as tense felt unfamiliar.
“Want me to go tell Gray Wolf you want to continue?”
Chang Ning said, pretending to walk out of the dormitory.
“Hey, hey, stop! Don’t go! Don’t go!”
Ostrich hurried forward to grab Chang Ning, smiling obsequiously.
“I’m just not used to it; why take it seriously?”
“Besides, with Gray Wolf’s style, if you throw me under the bus, no one would feel good, right?”
“Yeah, no need to drag everyone down for my little mistake.”
After Gray Wolf notified everyone they could rest.
Everyone’s nerves, tense for over a month, slowly relaxed; they watched the clowning Ostrich and Chang Ning without stopping them, treating it as relaxation.
“Fine, seeing how sensible you are, I won’t tell Gray Wolf.”
“Finally can get a good sleep tonight.”
Chang Ning lay on the bed and let out a comfortable moan.
“Ah, finally over.”
Ostrich climbed onto his bed too; as his muscles relaxed, his whole body felt sore and tingly—extremely refreshing.
“Medic, isn’t your family into traditional Chinese medicine?”
“Yeah, what’s up?”
“Want me to give you a few needles?”
The Medic looked at Ostrich mischievously.
“Nah, I’m sore all over and uncomfortable; want you to give me a massage.”
It was a normal request, but for some reason, to Chang Ning it sounded cheap.
Ostrich and the Medic together always came up with unexpected antics.
Chang Ning no longer cared about those two’s outcome; he had more important things to do now.
Chang Ning opened the System Panel, looking at the luxurious data, extremely excited for a moment.
