[Urban] Desire to Heal the World (Complete) - 8

Chapter 5 of the Learning and Conduct section:

"Hey! A farewell party?" Yuan Jun laughed, watching the four arguing. Then, he suddenly turned sternly to Xiao Chong and said, "Come to my office!" This guy's face-changing was like a national treasure, already at a master level.

"You, you damn recruit, do you think you can be a good soldier?" Yuan Jun asked Xiao Chong.

"I can!" Xiao Chong's voice was very loud!

"Oh? You can say that loudly? That's rare. Give me a reason!" Yuan Jun's voice was louder than Xiao Chong's; he was the loudest at singing military songs. Trying to out-shout him?

"I think I'm calm, I'm brave!" Xiao Chong turned his voice up to the maximum volume, like he was talking to a megaphone.

"It sounds like I'm laughing, I'm crazy, I'm insane to me. Stop talking nonsense! Tell me about your performance in this assessment!" Yuan Jun wasn't going to compete with him anymore; he still had to sing military songs! Shouting himself hoarse would only make him lose fans!

"I remained calm when I got lost in the forest, I was composed when I lurked under the enemy's nose, and I was brave when I saw my comrade wounded!" Xiao Chong made up a sentence.

"Your sentences are all garbage, only at the level of someone who almost graduated from elementary school! It's an insult to my ears! Do you know what your role and mission are in this assessment?" Yuan Jun had to admit that Xiao Chong was telling the truth, even though his sentence-making skills were very poor.

"My role is like that of an abandoned widow in 'Assembly Call,' having to break through the encirclement to find her husband!" Xiao Chong's "voice" was strong and powerful.

Yuan Jun couldn't help but feel a chill, but couldn't help but ask, "I don't think there's such a scene in 'Assembly Call'!"

"I added it!" Xiao Chong's words almost made Yuan Jun fall over.

"You son of a bitch, you're just talking nonsense to me. I said you're not calm, not composed, and not brave enough!" Yuan Jun roared.

"Give me a reason!" Xiao Chong completely copied Yuan Jun.

"If you were calm, brave, and collected enough, if you were composed enough, you wouldn't have gotten lost; if you were calm enough, you would have eaten the bones lying on the ground; if you were brave enough, you could have completed the assessment without caring about your comrades!" Yuan Jun was still furious.

"Please don't involve my mother in this! This is just an assessment, not a real battlefield. Although we must treat it as if it were real, it's not worth losing a comrade's life over this!" Xiao Chong said sternly.

"This..." Yuan Jun couldn't think of a rebuttal for a moment.

"Also, I want to ask you a question. If you see a comrade injured and in mortal danger during a mission, and you have the ability to save him, can you abandon him to complete the mission?" Xiao Chong asked.

"I...can!" Yuan Jun said, his voice lacking confidence, his heart pounding. It wasn't hot, but he was sweating profusely!

"Yuan Jun, you're a piece of trash!" Xiao Chong said and walked out. What's wrong with the commander? What's so great about the commander? Isn't the commander just as hypocritical as him? But as he reached the door, Yuan Jun's words almost made him faint. Yuan Jun said, "You'll participate in the second assessment the day after tomorrow."

When Xiao Chong returned to the dormitory, he saw his brothers had already packed their bags, waiting for his order to head home. Touched, he also wanted to laugh. When he recounted his conversation with Yuan Jun to everyone, they couldn't help but excitedly hug him, jumping and laughing. A comrade who happened to pass by saw this and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "The army produces talent, and also comrades!"

Zhang Zhijie had gained a lot in the past few days, and in the first assessment, his performance was far superior to Xiao Chong's. Although he had swallowed the bone that Xiao Chong scorned, that was a quality a special forces soldier must possess. As long as you can survive, there's a chance to survive; to survive, you need to eat; without physical strength, you can't complete the mission! And the truly special mission is the ultimate goal of a special forces soldier. When his comrade was bitten by a snake, he didn't step forward. Although he felt great sympathy and pity for the injured man, he felt even more pity for himself, who would have to return to the countryside if he couldn't hold on. So, he endured it! If he could channel this mindset into a mission-oriented one, he would be an outstanding special forces soldier.

Shuangxi grew up in the countryside, and dealing with the mountains was second nature to him. He wouldn't mind spending three days, or even ten or fifteen days. His slender frame concealed a resilient heart; he knew that joining the army would further temper his will! So when Xiaochong offered to take him to the army, he agreed without hesitation! Only by trying could he know his capabilities; only through hardship could he know his strength; only through struggle could he become a shining pearl in the vast desert.

Huadi didn't actually want to join the army because after capturing Xincheng, he wanted to go to Shicheng, but what about after Shicheng? Would he still have the ability to capture Wangcheng, Laocheng, and Xiacheng? He didn't know; he was confused. He wasn't clear about how high he could fly. Joining the army, he gained a deeper understanding of Xiao Chong. Xiao Chong's ferocity earned his respect. Hua Di knew that if he wanted to fly higher and farther, he had to be as fierce as Xiao Chong. Although he knew it would be difficult! Xiao Chong was a born strongman, while he could only rely on hard work! So, when he was discovered by a scout in the primeval forest, his first thought was to plunge the knife he had hidden into the enemy's body! He knew it was wrong, but he had no choice. If he were discovered, he would never have another chance to train. (Welcome to all website owners to repost novels on this site. Your reposting is a great support to this site.

Just as the knife was about to pierce the enemy's heart from behind, he thought of Xiao Chong, the Xiao Chong who was deeply devoted to him. He could kill, without reason or even just for an assessment, but he didn't want to implicate Xiao Chong. If his actions were exposed, he knew Xiao Chong would stand in front of him. So he still stabbed the enemy, but only struck the enemy's carotid artery with the back of the blade. He knew that a heavy blow to this spot would cause temporary unconsciousness, but wouldn't cause serious injury. This was something he had learned from the anatomy books Xiao Chong had given him.

The second assessment, as expected, was named "Squirt," because it was related to the sea—this guy must have watched too much porn!

Xiao Chong and the others had to complete a 12,000-meter armed swim within the allotted time, reach a designated location on the enemy base, and send a signal to guide our air force to bomb the target.

This was actually a routine training exercise for special forces, and Yuan Jun, who seemed to have even higher expectations for Xiao Chong and his team, had upgraded the original 8,000 meters to 12,000 meters! Was it an upgrade in the country's requirements for special forces, or an upgrade in Yuan Jun's twisted mentality?

This was a contest of intense physical strength, a head-on competition. If the task wasn't completed within the allotted time, each group of four would be eliminated. At sea, if they encountered unforeseen circumstances or were unable to continue, they could press a distress signal. Rescue personnel would arrive at the signal location within one minute. Of course, regardless of the reason, pressing the distress signal would send them home!

Xiao Chong's opinion: One minute was too long. Could it be reduced to thirty seconds or even less? At sea, a minute could swallow thousands of people.

Yuan Jun was taken aback, then agreed to consider it.

On the day of the assessment, the weather turned against them, playing a cruel joke on them with strong winds and torrential rain. That's a bit of an exaggeration. Actually, the wind wasn't strong, only level four or five, and the rain wasn't heavy either, just a little bit bigger than peanuts. And they weren't shelled! But training at sea in this kind of weather is practically suicide!

The deputy battalion commander suggested to Yuan Jun that they cancel this assessment, because completing a mission in this kind of weather is just as difficult as a rescue! Yuan Jun shook his head. He said, "Special forces are troops that complete missions in all sorts of extremely harsh environments! These remaining hundred-odd men, I either don't want any of them, or I only want the strongest soldiers. Those who aren't the strongest can't survive under my command."

They set off again! This time, unlike last time when they were completely disorganized, the four of them carefully studied the map, the wind speed, the strength of the currents… But after careful analysis, they realized that in such terrible weather, it was impossible for them to swim 12,000 meters; swimming 120 meters would be an achievement! Yuan

Jun only gave them two choices: go back or go into the sea.

This time, Xiao Chong didn't ignore the distress signal Yuan Jun had given him, because having experienced a plane crash, he knew that being in the sea was just as dangerous as being in the air. Dangerous as a sexy, alluring woman carrying a sexually transmitted disease! Yes, it was indeed very dangerous. Let's go into the

sea! You can't get rich without going into the sea! Xiao Chong and the others all wanted to get rich, so they went into the sea!

Only after they got into the sea did they realize that going into the sea wasn't fun at all! What appeared to be a gentle breeze and light waves on shore became a raging storm in the sea. After swimming a full 120 meters, waves taller than a person crashed down upon them. Of course, a person's height was nothing to the waves, but for Xiao Chong and his companions, it was terrifying. The waves tossed them up again and again, as if trying to throw them out of the sea, but Earth's gravity held them firmly like a magnet. They dared not use brute force anymore—not because they didn't want to, but because they were too exhausted. Those 120 meters had almost killed them.

After one wave, Xiao Chong wiped the water from his face and roared at his brothers, because only a roar could make them hear him clearly. He said, "Hold on a little longer, everyone! It'll be over soon!"

"Will a miracle happen?" Zhang Zhijie shouted.

"The weather forecast says that after midnight tonight, the wind will shift to the southeast, and the direction of the wind is precisely southeast!" Xiao Chong yelled.

"Damn, this is heaven's help! It means we can just go with the flow without lifting a finger!" Hua Di exclaimed joyfully.

"Junior brother, look at the time!" Shuang Xi kindly reminded him.

"Damn it, it's only seven o'clock!" Xiao Chong shouted after looking at his luminous watch. Five more hours? It's hard not to get rheumatoid arthritis from being in the water for so long!

"Let's swim slowly, every little bit counts!" Shuang Xi said. Anyway, they were just sitting around doing nothing. They might as well swim.

"Swim!" The group grabbed their heavy arms and swam very, very slowly like turtles.

At this point, many people gave up. This wasn't something humans could do; it was something only fish could do! But those who were particularly strong and intelligent enough to read the weather forecast persisted.

On the enemy's base.

"Hey, I say, will they come?" asked an enemy soldier disguised as an S soldier.

"In this weather, can you swim across from the other side?" asked another S soldier.

"No, this sea area is notoriously treacherous, with waves three feet high even without wind! Especially with such terrible weather now!" another S-rank soldier said.

"Yuan Datou is particularly freakish today, he stretched the 8,000-meter distance by half! These newbies really hit the jackpot!" yet another S-rank soldier said. Yuan Datou? Yuan Jun!

"Go to sleep! Yuan Datou isn't coming tonight! Saving those newbies in the sea is enough for him!" the last S-rank soldier said.

"Yeah, since following this damned Yuan Datou, I haven't had a good night's sleep. Everyone, go to sleep!" one S-rank soldier said.

"..."

Chapter Six of the Learning and Practice: Survival in the Brink .

Xiao Chong and the others chose a slightly leaning coconut tree. Xiao Chong and the others climbed up, Hua Di followed closely behind, Shuang Xi provided cover, and Zhang Zhijie remained at the rear.

"Xiao Jie, come up slowly!" Xiao Chong, Shuang Xi, Hua Di, and the others were at the treetop, the tree trunk already swaying precariously.

"Alright! Watch me!" Zhang Zhijie spat on his hands, wiped them vigorously, and then climbed up the tree trunk with both hands! "

Slow down, slow down!" Xiao Chong shouted nervously. Good heavens, before he could finish speaking, they felt their bodies sink, and then Xiao Chong's butt hit the ground hard again. Did the tree break? No, the tree was just bent into an arc shape, not broken. It seems that the tree's resilience is comparable to Xiao Chong's little... little ... "..." Hua Di and the other two stood under the tree, looking up at Xiao Chong, speechless! This method didn't work, so they had to rack their brains again. These four were indeed geniuses; they soon came up with another brilliant plan: the old tree's roots. The soil under the tree wasn't mud, it was sand, and sand is loose. The four of them working together should be able to easily pry it open. Wasn't that too naive? The roots of a mature coconut tree are longer than the trunk. They hadn't dug for long when Hua Di unearthed something slightly larger than a bird's egg and couldn't help but ask, "Huh, what's this?" "It should be an egg!" Zhang Zhijie offered his opinion. "You little rascal, do you need to tell me that?" Shuangxi rolled his eyes at him. Even a three-year-old knows it's an egg. "Senior brother is indeed clever, Xiao Chong admires him!" Xiao Chong said admiringly. "What?" everyone asked in unison. "I said senior brother is knowledgeable and his medical skills are almost on par with modern ultrasound! He even knows this is a male turtle, but why can't he tell if it's a female turtle?" "Xiao Chong said in a refined manner. "Turtle egg?" Everyone finally understood. "Great, give it to me!" Zhang Zhijie snatched the egg from Hua Di's hand, tapped it, tilted his head back, and the turtle egg turned into an eggshell. Then he licked his lips and said, "It tastes great!" Everyone felt a chill. This guy really dares to eat anything. An hour later, Xiao Chong and the others gave up. They had dug up water, but there were still roots underneath. What were they going to do? "Damn it, if I can't dig you up, I'll poison you!" Zhang Zhijie became furious, pulled down his pants and exposed his genitals in public, then poured the murky yellow liquid onto the tree roots! "Yes, poison it!" Everyone followed suit, and the lively and happy atmosphere was like returning to childhood. The suggestion to build a house had to be abandoned due to objective reasons that they couldn't do it. So everyone studied how to make fire by friction. Yuan Jun was really ruthless and cunning. He even took the lighter that Xiao Chong had hidden in his sock. "Sigh, if only the lighter hadn't been taken!" "Xiao Chong sighed helplessly. "Boss, don't sigh. I knew Yuan Datou was a freak. He's cunning, but I'm even more cunning. I'm an expert at cheating!" Zhang Zhijie said, pointing to a small black mark on his camouflage uniform at the crotch and asking, "Do you know what this is?" "What?" everyone asked. "Look closely!" Zhang Zhijie lifted his crotch to show everyone. Xiao Chong and the others were about to call him an idiot, but upon closer inspection, they realized that the small black mark wasn't his mustache sticking out from his crotch, but something else that had been pasted on. "Ah, it's that black piece of paper on the side of the matchbox!" Xiao Chong and the others had to praise Zhang Zhijie as a genius. He had actually pasted that piece of paper on the darker part of his camouflage uniform, right at the crotch. Even if Yuan Datou was cunning, he wouldn't have thought of that place. This was another guy who didn't play by the rules. "What about the matches?" Xiao Chong and the others quickly asked.

"Hehe, you'll never guess where the match is!" Zhang Zhijie said, taking off one shoe and turning it inside out for them to see.

There was nothing at the bottom of his pants except a dirty piece of chewing gum, which Zhang Zhijie had apparently stepped on accidentally.

"Nothing there?" the others asked, puzzled.

"Please! Take that chewing gum off, it's filthy!" Hua Di said, looking distressed.

"Hehe, Hua Ge, you're a genius too, just like me! Do you know what Yuan Datou said when he checked my shoes? He said the exact same thing you said!" Zhang Zhijie said, indeed removing the filthy, almost blackened chewing gum, and then, without a care for the dirt, began squeezing it.

"Good heavens, stop! It's filthy! Can you even eat it?" Shuangxi said, a little disgusted.

"Hehe, I won't do it, you can all go rub yourselves together!" Zhang Zhijie said, squeezing a small stick out of the chewing gum—yes, it was a match.

"Oh!!! Selling melons!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise; it was a miracle they didn't faint on the spot! This monster, only he could come up with such a method.

With tinder, there's fire; with fire, there need to be fish to fill their stomachs! With fire in their hands and fish in the water, Xiao Chong and the others had nothing to worry about.

Catching fish wasn't Xiao Chong's forte, but it was Shuang Xi's specialty! Having grown up in the mountains, he was adept at everything from climbing mountains to swimming in rivers! So, he only had Xiao Chong and the others stand on the shore to shout for him so their backs wouldn't hurt, while he himself dived into the water, diving and diving for a long time. Xiao Chong and the others thought he had sunk to the bottom of the sea and were about to go into the water when they saw him surface, holding a fish the size of two palms in his hands.

"That bastard is ruthless, why didn't he bring up a shark!" Xiao Chong teased.

"I was thinking of that, but I just hadn't encountered one. If it had encountered me, it would have had no choice but to run away!" Shuang Xi grinned, his teeth like the spokesperson for Blue Sky Six-Bite Gel.

Yuan Datou was leisurely reading "Half-Life" at that moment. The new recruits had been taken away for assessment, and the S Army had sent the deputy battalion commander out for training! With nothing to do, he could only stay in the camp reading the novel. Just as he was engrossed in his reading, the alarm suddenly went off urgently.

The location display showed that it was on Xiao Chong's isolated island. Yuan Datou was very disappointed when he saw this. Xiao Chong's group was the group he had the most faith in. Although they posted online to curse him, he hoped that they would stay. If they stayed, he would never have trouble finding a chance for revenge. Every member of Xiao Chong's group was outstanding, especially Xiao Chong. Although his rational actions were swayed by emotion, this only moved him more. In this society, everyone is willing to do anything to achieve their own goals. There are not many people who care about the lives of others. Although he wanted a steel-like army, he hoped that they would be flesh and blood, not emotionless tools. But now, his wish was dashed because Xiao Chong's alarm had gone off.

Dejected, Yuan Datou arrived at the deserted island by helicopter. He walked over to Xiao Chong and the others, reluctantly saying, "Let's go!" His expression was one of abandoning a dog he'd raised for years.

"Go? Where to?" Xiao Chong and the others asked, bewildered.

"Go back to your hometown! Where else do you think you can go?" Yuan Datou practically roared.

"When did we say we wanted to go home?" Xiao Chong and the others answered in unison, their responses perfectly synchronized.

"You sounded the alarm, so you have to go back even if you don't want to!" Yuan Datou practically yelled, infuriated by their callousness.

"Sounding the alarm means we have to go back?" Hua Di asked.

"Yeah, is that even possible?" Shuang Xi asked.

"We just wanted to test if the alarm was malfunctioning!" Xiao Chong said, sounding aggrieved.

"Yeah! Yeah! That's right!" Zhang Zhijie quickly nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Datou's blood rushed to his head, his face instantly turning bright red, almost as if he were about to burst a blood vessel. He pointed at Xiao Chong and the others, stammering, "You, you guys...you guys..."

Seeing Yuan Datou so angry, Xiao Chong and the others couldn't help but secretly chuckle.

"Hehe, Chief, don't be angry, really, we didn't mean anything by it, we weren't just messing around pressing the alarm!" Xiao Chong said with a forced smile. But that smile was so fake, so obviously fake, a forced smile that didn't reach the eye!

"Yes, we wanted to invite the Chief to eat fish!" Hua Di said.

"We just caught a big fish in the sea. After grilling it, we remembered our commander who had trained us so hard, and guessed that you probably hadn't eaten yet!" Shuangxi said, but Zhang Zhijie quickly interrupted, "So we thought we'd invite the commander to try some seafood. (Web users please log in to download the txt novel, mobile users log in.cn) This is grouper, fresh, lively, and nutritious!"

"But we don't have a phone, and you don't allow us to bring cell phones, so we had no choice but to press the alarm. It was the only option!" Xiao Chong said.

"I didn't expect this method to work so well! Commander, you really came!" Hua Di said.

"Oh, I see. I'm so sorry for you! So I'll forgive you this time?" Yuan Datou seemed to be moved and asked, pretending to be touched. But what was this pervert really thinking? Who knows!

"Of course, we really had no choice but to do this!" Xiao Chong said with a bitter face.

"Do you bunch of little bastards think I'm an idiot? Do you think I don't know what you're up to?" Yuan Datou's face suddenly changed. This guy really could change his expression like flipping through a book! He knew in his heart that Xiao Chong and the others wanted to embarrass him. But he admired these guys' survival skills even more. They had only been on the island for half a day, yet they had already made a fire and caught fish, and were already eating them!

"Where's the fish?" Yuan Datou changed his face again, this time to a kind expression. A master, a master of changing faces.

"Here it is!" The group quickly pointed to the fire and said to him.

"What, this is the fish you were going to treat me to?" Yuan Datou looked and saw that there was indeed a large fish on the fire stand, but it wasn't a whole carcass, just a skeleton. The flesh was gone, leaving only a skeleton with an untouched fish head. It looked like it had been eaten by a cat.

"Yes! Commander, look, isn't this fish huge! I caught it!" Shuangxi said smugly, but Xiaochong and the others knew he wasn't that kind of person. He was only doing this to impress Yuan Datou. The brothers had a tacit understanding, so there was no reason for them not to cooperate.

"Commander, this is the first time we've ever seen such a big grouper! The taste was so fresh!" Xiaochong said, smacking his lips, as if he was savoring the memory.

"This isn't just an ordinary grouper, it's the king of groupers, the king of groupers!" Hua Di, who wasn't very well-educated, could only use the adjectives he could think of to describe the fish carcass.

"Hmm, tomorrow we must catch an even bigger king of groupers than this one, and then we'll invite the commander over for a free meal!" Zhang Zhijie said.

Yuan Datou was furious. He pointed at the fish with a trembling hand and said angrily, "You all talked so highly of it, but now the fish looks like this? Is this how you invite people?"

"Commander, please don't be angry, it's not our fault!" Xiaochong said aggrievedly.

“Yes, we’ve been waiting for you ever since we sounded the alarm. Nobody dared to touch the fish!” Shuangxi said.

“But the fish smelled so good, someone just grabbed a piece and ate it!” Huadi said.

“So everyone ate it, one piece for you, one piece for me, while waiting for you to arrive. We never expected you to be so late, and by the time you got here, the fish was all ruined!” Zhang Zhijie said.

“But, sir, look, this fish head was specially saved for you!” Xiaochong said.

"Yes, none of us dared touch the fish head!" Shuangxi said.

"Yes, everyone knows the fish head is the most nutritious part!" Huadi said matter-of-factly.

"Of course, the most nutritious part should be reserved for you, Commander!" Zhang Zhijie said.

Yuan Datou watched the four boys make up stories without saying a word. He wanted to see what kind of tricks they could come up with, but they really managed to confuse him. He even felt that he couldn't blame them; he had to blame himself for arriving too late!

"Where are the enemy's documents?" Yuan Datou asked, his mind slightly clearer.

"What documents?" The group looked at each other, and it took them a while to remember that there were such documents!

"Hmph! I'm telling you, you'd better not find them. Then you can go home and nothing will happen to you! If you do find them, hmph, then don't blame me!" After saying that, Yuan Datou ignored them and walked towards the helicopter!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong and the others instinctively raised their middle fingers at Yuan Datou's retreating figure. But just then, Yuan Datou suddenly turned around and strode towards them. Xiao Chong and the others were stunned, even forgetting to retract their raised middle fingers. He thought: Does this guy want to fight?

Yuan Datou walked right up to them, and Xiao Chong and the others were ready to fight. But to their surprise, Yuan Datou walked right past them as if they didn't exist, grabbed the enormous fish head, gave Xiao Chong and the others a cold snort, and walked away without looking back! It turned out that Yuan Datou only remembered when he was about to board the plane that fish heads were indeed the most nutritious food!

Everyone stared blankly as Yuan Datou left. They couldn't believe it; Yuan Datou had really taken the fish head—the one they'd all spat on and even peed on…

Chapter Seven of the Learning and Conduct section: The Cheater Who Deceived the Heavens.

Xiao Chong and his friends chose a slightly leaning coconut tree. Xiao Chong and one of them climbed up, Hua Di followed closely behind, Shuang Xi provided cover, and Zhang Zhijie brought up the rear.

"Xiao Jie, come up slowly!" Xiao Chong, Shuang Xi, Hua Di, and the others were at the treetop, the trunk already swaying precariously.

"Alright! Watch me!" Zhang Zhijie spat on his hands, wiped them vigorously, and then climbed up, gripping the trunk with both hands!

"Slow down, slow down!" Xiao Chong shouted nervously. Good heavens, before he could finish speaking, they felt their bodies sink, and then Xiao Chong's bottom hit the ground heavily again.

Did the tree break? No, the tree only bent into an arc shape, not snapped. It seems the tree's resilience is comparable to Xiao Chong's tiny penis!

"I told you to slow down, don't you have ears?" Xiao Chong cursed, still clinging to the tree.

"Boss, I'm already slow!" Zhang Zhijie stood up, feeling aggrieved, and dusted himself off. At the same time, Hua Di and Shuang Xi released their grip on the tree, about to punch Zhang Zhijie, when suddenly the tree "whooshed" upwards, leaving Xiao Chong still on the treetop!

"Damn it, are you guys courting death?!" Xiao Chong was nearly thrown off by the sudden jerk, and after recovering from the shock, he cursed.

"..." Hua Di and the other two stood under the tree, looking up at Xiao Chong, speechless!

This method didn't work, so they had to rack their brains again. These four were indeed geniuses; soon they came up with another brilliant plan: the old tree's roots. The soil under the tree wasn't mud, it was sand, and sand is loose. The four of them working together should be able to easily pry it open. Wasn't that too naive? The roots of a mature coconut tree are longer than the trunk.

Not long after they started digging, Hua Di unearthed something slightly larger than a bird's egg and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's this?"

"It should be an egg!" Zhang Zhijie offered his opinion.

"You little rascal, do you even need to tell me?" Shuangxi rolled her eyes at him, even a three-year-old knows it's an egg.

"Senior brother is indeed clever, Xiao Chong admires him!" Xiao Chong said admiringly.

"I said senior brother is knowledgeable and his medical skills are almost on par with modern ultrasound! He even knows this is a male turtle, but why can't he tell if it's a female turtle?" Xiao Chong said in a refined manner.

"A turtle egg?" Everyone finally understood.

"Great, give it to me!" Zhang Zhijie snatched the egg from Hua Di's hand, tapped it, tilted his head back, and the turtle egg turned into an eggshell. Then he licked his lips and said, "It tastes delicious!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. This guy really would eat anything!

An hour later, Xiao Chong and the others gave up. They'd dug up water, but there were still roots underneath. What were they going to do? "

Damn it, if I can't dig you up, I'll poison you!" Zhang Zhijie shouted fiercely, pulling down his pants to expose his genitals in public, then pouring the murky, yellowish liquid onto the tree roots!

"Yeah, poison it!" Everyone followed suit, the lively and joyful atmosphere like childhood.

The suggestion to build a house had to be abandoned due to their inability to do so. So, they studied how to make fire by rubbing sticks together. Yuan Jun was ruthless and cunning; he even confiscated the lighter Xiao Chong had hidden in his sock.

"Sigh, if only the lighter hadn't been taken!" Xiao Chong sighed helplessly.

"Boss, don't sigh. I knew that Yuan Datou was a pervert. He's cunning, but I'm even more cunning. I'm an expert at cheating!" "Zhang Zhijie pointed to a small black mark on his camouflage uniform at the crotch and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

"What?" everyone asked.

"Look closely!" Zhang Zhijie lifted his crotch to show everyone.

Xiao Chong and the others were about to call him an idiot, but upon closer inspection, they realized that the small black mark wasn't his mustache sticking out from his crotch, but something else stuck on.

"Ah, it's that black piece of paper on the side of the matchbox!" Xiao Chong and the others had to praise Zhang Zhijie as a genius, actually sticking that piece of paper on the darker part of his camouflage uniform, and right there at the crotch. Even Yuan Datou, no matter how clever, wouldn't have thought of that place. This was another guy who didn't play by the rules.

"And the matches?" Xiao Chong and the others quickly asked.

"Hehe, you'll never guess where the matches are!" "As Zhang Zhijie spoke, he took off one shoe and turned it inside out for them to see.

There was nothing on the bottom of his pants except for a dirty piece of chewing gum, which Zhang Zhijie had apparently stepped on accidentally.

"Hehe, Hua Ge, you're a genius too, just like me! Do you know what Yuan Datou said when he checked my shoes? He said the exact same thing as you!" Zhang Zhijie said, indeed removing the filthy, almost blackened chewing gum, and then, without any concern for its dirtiness, began squeezing it.

"Good heavens, stop! It's filthy! Can we even eat it?" Shuangxi said, a little disgusted.

"Hehe, if I don't do it, you can all go rub yourselves together!" Zhang Zhijie said, squeezing a small stick out of the chewing gum—yes, it was a match.

"Oh!!! What a rip-off!" "Everyone gasped in surprise; it was a miracle they didn't faint! This monster—only he could have come up with such a method.

He dived and dived for a long time, and Xiao Chong and the others thought he had sunk to the bottom of the sea. Just as they were about to go into the water, they saw him float to the surface, holding a fish the size of two palms in his hands."

"That bastard's really ruthless, why didn't he bring up a shark!" Xiao Chong joked.

"I was thinking of that, but I just haven't encountered one yet. If it did, it would only be able to run away!" Shuangxi grinned, holding the fish, his teeth like those of a spokesperson for Lantian Liubizhi (a popular Chinese herbal tea brand).

Yuan Datou was leisurely reading "Buying Half a Life" at that moment. The new recruits had been taken away for assessment, and the S Army had sent the deputy battalion commander out for training! He had nothing to do, so he could only stay in the camp reading the novel. Just as he was engrossed in his reading, the alarm suddenly went off urgently.

The location display showed that it was on Xiao Chong's isolated island. Yuan Datou was very disappointed when he saw this. Xiao Chong's group was the group he had the most faith in. Although they posted online to curse him, he really hoped that they could stay. As long as they stayed, he would never have trouble finding a chance for revenge. Every member of Xiao Chong's group was excellent, especially Xiao Chong. Although he was moved by emotion in his rational actions, it moved him even more. In this society, everyone is willing to do anything to achieve their goals. Few people care about the lives of others. While he wanted a steel-like army, he hoped they would be flesh and blood, not emotionless tools. But now, his wish was dashed because Xiao Chong and his men's alarm went off.

Yuan Datou, dejected, arrived at the isolated island by helicopter. Walking to Xiao Chong and the others, he reluctantly said, "Let's go!" His reluctance was like abandoning a dog he'd raised for years.

"Go? Where to?" Xiao Chong and the others asked, bewildered.

"Go back to your hometown! Where else do you think you can go?" Yuan Datou said, almost furiously!

"When did we say we wanted to go home?" Xiao Chong and the others answered in unison, their responses perfectly synchronized.

"You sounded the alarm, so you have to go back even if you don't want to!" Yuan Datou practically roared, infuriated by Xiao Chong and the others' heartlessness.

"Sounding the alarm means we have to go back?" Hua Di asked.

"Yeah, is that even possible?" Shuang Xi asked.

"We just wanted to test if the alarm was malfunctioning!" Xiao Chong said, sounding aggrieved.

"Yeah! Yeah! That's right!" Zhang Zhijie quickly nodded.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Datou's blood rushed to his head, his face turning bright red, almost bursting with blood vessels. He pointed at Xiao Chong and the others, stammering, "You, you guys~~~~ you guys~~~~"

Seeing Yuan Datou so angry, Xiao Chong and the others couldn't help but secretly laugh.

"Hehe, Chief, don't be angry, really, we didn't mean anything by it, we weren't just messing around pressing the alarm!" Xiao Chong said with a forced smile. But that smile was so fake, so obviously fake, a forced smile that didn't reach the eyes!

"Yes, we wanted to invite the Chief to eat fish!" Hua Di said.

"We just caught a big fish in the sea. After grilling it, we remembered our commander who had trained us so hard, and guessed that you probably hadn't eaten yet!" Shuangxi said, but Zhang Zhijie quickly interrupted, "So we thought we'd invite the commander to try some seafood. This is a grouper, fresh, lively, and nutritious!"

"But we don't have a phone, and you don't allow us to bring cell phones, so we had no choice but to press the alarm. It was the only option!" Xiao Chong said.

"We didn't expect this method to work so well! Commander, you really came!" Hua Di said.

"Oh, I see. I'm so sorry for you! So, I'll forgive you this time?" Yuan Datou seemed to be moved and asked, pretending to be touched. But what was this pervert really thinking? Who knows!

"Of course, we really had no choice!" Xiao Chong said with a bitter face.

"Do you bunch of little bastards think I'm an idiot? Do you think I don't know what you're up to?" Yuan Datou's face suddenly changed. This guy's face changed like flipping through a book! He knew in his heart that Xiao Chong and the others wanted to embarrass him. However, he admired these guys' survival skills even more. They had only been on the island for half a day, yet they had already started a fire and caught fish, which they were already eating!

"Where's the fish?" Yuan Datou asked, his face suddenly becoming kind. A master of changing faces.

"Here it is!" the others quickly pointed to the fire.

"What? This is the fish you were going to treat me to?" Yuan Datou looked and saw a large fish on the fire stand, but it wasn't a whole carcass; it was just a skeleton. The flesh was gone, leaving only a skeleton with an untouched head. It looked like it had been eaten by a cat.

"Yes! Chief, look, isn't this fish big? I caught it!" Shuangxi said smugly, but Xiao Chong and the others knew he wasn't like that. He was only doing this for Yuan Datou's benefit. The brothers had a tacit understanding, so there was no reason for them not to cooperate.

"Chief, this is the first time we've ever seen such a big grouper! The taste was so fresh!" Xiao Chong said, smacking his lips, as if he was savoring the memory.

"This isn't just an ordinary grouper, it's the king of groupers, the absolute king of groupers!" Hua Di, not being very well-educated, could only use the adjectives he could think of to describe the fish carcass.

"Yeah, tomorrow we'll definitely catch an even bigger king of groupers than this one, and then we'll invite the commander over for a free meal!" Zhang Zhijie said.

Yuan Datou was furious, pointing at the fish with a trembling hand and yelling, "You all talked so highly of it, but now the fish looks like this? Is this how you invite people?"

"Commander, please don't be angry, it's not our fault!" Xiao Chong said aggrievedly.

"Yes, we sounded the alarm and waited for you to come, no one dared to touch the fish!" Shuangxi said.

"But the fish smelled so good, someone tore off a piece to eat first!" Hua Di said.

"So everyone ate a piece while waiting for you, but you came so late, and the fish looked like this by the time you arrived!" Zhang Zhijie said.

"But, sir, look, this fish head is specially reserved for you!" Xiao Chong said.

"Yes, none of us dared to touch the fish head!" Shuangxi said.

"Yes, everyone knows the fish head is the most nutritious part!" Hua Di said matter-of-factly.

"Of course, the most nutritious part is reserved for you, sir!" Zhang Zhijie said.

Yuan Datou watched the four boys make up stories without saying a word. He wanted to see what kind of tricks they could come up with, but they really managed to confuse him. He even felt that he couldn't blame them; he had to blame himself for arriving too late!

"Where are the enemy's documents?" Yuan Datou asked, his mind slightly clearer.

"What documents?" The group looked at each other, and it took them a while to remember that there were such documents!

"Hmph! I'm telling you, you'd better not find them, then you can go home and nothing will happen to you! If you do find them, hmph, then don't blame me!" After saying that, Yuan Datou ignored them and walked towards the helicopter!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong and the others in unison raised their middle fingers at Yuan Datou's retreating figure. But just then, Yuan Datou suddenly turned around and strode towards them. Xiao Chong and the others were stunned, even forgetting to retract their raised middle fingers. He thought: "Does this guy want to fight?"

Yuan Datou walked right up to them, and Xiao Chong and the others were ready to fight. But Yuan Datou ignored them, walking right through the group, grabbing the enormous fish head, and then coldly snorted at Xiao Chong and the others before walking away without looking back! It turned out that Yuan Datou only remembered the fish head was indeed the most nutritious part of the fish when he was about to board the plane!

The group stared blankly as Yuan Datou left, unable to believe that he had actually taken the fish head—the one they had all spat on and peed on… (

Chapter 9 of Xuexing: Stepping into the Gates of Hell.

Overjoyed, Xiao Chong hugged Zhang Zhijie, who was standing next to him not knowing what to do, and then kissed him on the face before saying: "Xiao Jie, you are a genius! You are a genius! Without you, we are really finished!"

"I..." Although Zhang Zhijie was molested, compared with Xiao Chong's forgiveness, the former was like a fart. After the fart dissipates, nothing remains. The kiss is the same. After the saliva dries, nothing remains.

"Yeah! If it weren't for you, how could I have found where the documents were hidden! Hahahaha!" Xiao Chong laughed maniacally, his grip on Zhang Zhijie's hand clenching tightly, even throbbing and jumping! Ugh, this glass!

"Is Grandpa crazy? He said Xiao Jie is a genius, and that he found the documents. Is he obsessed with the documents?" Hua Di secretly asked Shuang Xi, watching the crazed Xiao Chong.

"Tch! You only realize now? He's been a madman for a long time! Xiao Jie is a genius too, a born idiot!" Shuang Xi looked at him like he was an idiot. "Damn it!

You guys are the crazy ones! Come on, take out that knife!" Xiao Chong finally released Zhang Zhijie, his expression returning to normal.

Zhang Zhijie finally breathed a sigh of relief; he was terrified that the excited Xiao Chong might lose control and rape him!

Xiao Chong took the knife Shuang Xi handed him—the same knife Yuan Da Tou had given them—his expression grave, as if he were holding not a knife but a sacred sword. Then he started tapping the already charred tree with his small knife, like a blacksmith selecting a good piece of material to forge iron. Suddenly, he stopped, his solemn expression relaxing. He then plunged the knife into the trunk and dug for a while until a small box-like object fell out.

Xiao Chong picked up the box and carefully opened it, revealing a folded note inside. It contained only a few words: You succeeded!

"Wow!" Zhang Zhijie exclaimed first, then his voice suddenly grew louder, joined by Hua Di and Shuang Xi's screams.

After a pause, the three of them simultaneously asked Xiao Chong, "How did you do that?!"

"Well, it's a long story. Get this hero some water first!" Xiao Chong said, looking like he'd done a great service. "

..." The three of them remained silent and immediately brought him coconut juice. After all, he was a true hero!

Xiao Chong gulped down several mouthfuls of coconut juice, then wiped his mouth before saying, "I didn't know at first either. Luckily, Xiao Jie's commotion got me all flustered, and luckily I'm such a weirdo who dares to defy fate..."

"Alright, alright. Everyone on Earth knows that. Get to the point!" The three men were impatient with Xiao Chong's endless chatter, showing him no mercy.

Despite being interrupted by these three, Xiao Chong remained unfazed, continuing as if nothing had happened: "When I saw this yellowed tree, I was quite surprised. I thought God was really that powerful, turning it yellow in an instant! But when I saw another tree that had also been split but wasn't yellow, I felt strange. Then I remembered what Yuan Datou said, and I realized that what he said was a hint for us. This guy always does this, so he's accumulated some good karma. Do you remember what he said?"

"He said so much, how could we remember! He always talked about how great, how capable, how amazing he was!" Zhang Zhijie said.

"Exactly! He talks more than he drinks, like a woman!" Hua Di mistook Yuan Da Tou's earnest advice for a woman's nagging. If he heard it, who knows if he would immediately vomit blood?

"Stop being so mysterious, just tell me! Otherwise, your senior brother will lecture you on how to be a good person again!" Shuang Xi said.

Faced with these geniuses, Xiao Chong, a natural-born fool, was truly helpless. So he continued, "He told us to find a box that was hidden on this island a year ago. Think about it, why a year ago? And not now? That's a hint for us. The reason this tree turned so yellow isn't because of the lightning, but because someone tampered with it a year ago, cutting off its lifeblood, which is why it turned this color. Do you see this hole? I just dug it with a knife. Look, this hole, although it looks like a small wormhole on the outside, is actually hollow inside. That means after it was hollowed out, nutrients couldn't get up from the bottom, so it could only turn yellow and withered! Actually, it's easy to find. It's not that Yuan Datou is smart, it's that we're too stupid! And more importantly, the comrade in charge of this tree wasn't careful enough! Who was in charge of this tree?"

"Him!" Shuangxi and Huadi pointed at Zhang Zhijie.

"Damn it, it's you again! I just said you're a genius, how can I save face like this!" Xiao Chong said disappointedly.

"Yes! Brothers, let's go, get him!" Shuangxi immediately revolted, and the three of them chased after Zhang Zhijie, who had fled in terror...

Yuan Jun had actually hidden the document inside a tree trunk. Although there was a clue, even if an ordinary person searched the entire island, they probably wouldn't find it! However, he encountered Xiao Chong and his group of oddballs. That was his luck, and also Xiao Chong and the others' luck.

When Yuan Jun came to pick them up, he didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, he kept nagging about how slow it took them to find the document. When he said this, it was as if he hadn't hidden the document at all, but had placed it right in front of them without any concealment. This was a typical case of someone who talks without understanding the situation. Even so, anyone could see a hint of barely concealed smile on his otherwise dark face. But Xiao Chong and the others couldn't guess from that smile whether he was happy for his brothers or for himself.

After the final assessment, only eight people remained: Xiao Chong and his group, along with four others from other companies. Yuan Jun originally thought that none of the veterans had passed the assessment. If that's the case, the army will lose face big time. Not a single elite selected from eight hundred companies will make it into the special forces; only a few recruits who didn't even pass basic training will. He'll never dare call himself a veteran again; otherwise, he'll be drowned in stones, bricks, and spittle.

Yuan Jun was basically satisfied with the result, although he really wanted more people to stay and do another round of training to turn them into the kind of "garbage elites" he wanted. But there was no way; there were only eight, and he only needed eight. When he gathered these eight for a pep talk, he graciously said, "You've passed the test, but that doesn't mean you're special forces soldiers. To become qualified special forces soldiers, you must pass my devilish training. Hey, no laughing, or you'll be doing pull-ups! I'm happy to see you all today, but I'm even happier to see you every day from now on."

Xiao Chong and his three brothers knew Yuan Da Tou was talking to them; his words were threatening. But Xiao Chong and the others weren't afraid; they'd been scared since childhood. Who was scaring whom was still uncertain!

"Before you enter the gates of hell, I'll be generous to you. After all, it's an unspoken rule for those about to die to enjoy themselves before they die. Tell me, what do you want?" Yuan Jun then asked generously, as if he already controlled everything and could give anyone whatever they wanted.

"I want a hearty meal. Pork, beef, chicken, duck, fish... I want the best!" Zhao Xiaogang from the Iron Infantry Company had a vulgar, ordinary, and practical wish. However, wanting so much meat, was he a carnivore in his past life?

"I want to sing karaoke all night long, and I want to drink—XO, Martell Gold, Remy Martin, Napoleon, Chivas Regal, Heineken! But one thing, I won't drink anything bought from Carrefour!" Zhu Lide from the Airborne Company had always wanted to drink, but he never had the chance while in the company.

"I need to sleep. Give me three days, day and night. Give me a bed, good or bad, a blanket, thin or thick. No need for pajamas, I'm used to sleeping naked!" Huang Zhenjun, from the artillery company, always suffered from insomnia, and at night his ears always seemed to be ringing with the sound of artillery fire. But, sleeping for three days and three nights straight—aren't you afraid of sleeping yourself to death?

"I need internet access. My computer configuration is as follows: Intel Core QX6700 Extreme Edition quad-core processor with 8MB L2 cache, genuine Windows XP Media Centered Edition operating system, NVIDIA 8800 GTX 768MB/384bit DX10 integrated graphics, 2GB BD-DILI memory, 500GB 7200RPM SATA hard drive, dual DVD burner, integrated 5.1 sound card, integrated 1000Mbps network card, Logitech Naruto Edition keyboard and mouse, 19-inch LCD monitor, and a gigabit-speed internet connection!" Chen Shisan, a member of the newly popularized regiment, is a netizen who has been devastated by not being allowed to touch a computer for two months.

"I want AV DVDs, super clear DVDs, featuring Ozawa Madoka, Izayoi Shizuka, Mutou Ran, Saki Yusaki, Konno Riri, and Aikawa Anriki! And each one with an autographed photobook!" This request, even without seeing the person, was clearly from Zhang Zhijie, judging by his tone alone. Xiao Chong and his friends were used to his penchant for this, so they weren't surprised.

"I want women... underage girls, mature women, virgins, sluts, whores—give me all of them!" Hua Di declared arrogantly. But wouldn't wanting so many women at once lead to kidney deficiency and sexual dysfunction?

The more Yuan Jun listened, the paler his face became, until he was completely green. He couldn't take it anymore and roared at them, "You sons of bitches, do you think I'm a god? What you want, I want too! Who's going to give it to me?!" It turned out this guy's desires were far stronger and more insane than theirs—a collection of countless perverts!

Yuan Datou hadn't forgotten that there was someone here with an even stronger desire than his, his so-called senior brother. But these two had remained silent while others spoke, and even when it was their turn, they still didn't utter a sound.

"And you two?" Yuan Datou had no patience to wait any longer; their demands would surely be even more outrageous than the previous ones.

Who knew that Xiao Chong and Shuangxi would say something simple yet instantly touching: "I want to go home!"

Everyone was shocked. Yes, they should go home now, since once they entered special forces training, they wouldn't have any more leave to visit their families. But none of them had thought of their families, and for a moment, they all blushed with embarrassment.

"Alright! You're granted a week's leave!" Yuan Datou agreed to their request without hesitation. He was a soldier who valued emotions, but at certain moments, he could become cold-blooded and ruthless; otherwise, he couldn't have become the captain of the S Brigade of the D Group Army.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit, all requesting to go home to visit their families. Yuan Jun didn't make things too difficult for them; he just teased them with sharp words and sarcastic remarks for two hours before letting them go home.

After Zhang Zhijie returned home, he told his mother that he had become a special forces soldier. His mother told his father, and his father told the village chief. The village chief announced it over the loudspeaker, and soon the whole village knew! So, every household contributed two yuan per person, and the rest was paid for by Zhang Zhijie's father and the village committee. A grand feast was held from one end of the village to the other, with gongs and drums beating like a funeral… a celebration performed with great fanfare. Zhang Zhijie was very happy, happy that his hard work had earned him the first reward for his success. The villagers were even happier; who joined the army didn't matter, a two-yuan-per-person feast was worth it! Zhang Zhijie's father was very gratified because… The village chief was overjoyed that his once-promising son had finally shown promise. He could use the fact that their village had trained a special forces soldier as a political achievement.

Hua Di returned to Yuancheng with Xiao Chong. He understood Xiao Chong's good intentions in bringing him along to join the army. Xiao Chong not only wanted to soar higher himself, but also wanted Hua Di to fly with him, because only when the two were on the same level could they complement each other and achieve mutual benefit. This time, he also came back mainly to properly handle the aftermath (web users please log in to download the txt format novel, mobile users log in to cn), so he could devote all his energy to it. He threw himself into training. Little Fatty was a reliable person; now no one dared call him Little Fatty anymore. No one even dared mention his vulgar name. Hua Di wasn't afraid at all that he was a servant who would usurp power! So he handed over all his power to him.

Little Fatty was very self-aware; otherwise, he wouldn't have gained such importance! He was ambitious and eager for credit, but he was very measured and never did anything excessive. He had considered usurping power, but only in his dreams; in reality, he wouldn't even dare to think about it. He knew how hard-won everything he had was; going against the tide would only lead to his demise. Above him was Hua Di, and above Hua Di were the four major powers of Chinatown. Behind these four powers lay an even more terrifying force. He didn't know, but he knew this force was definitely related to that arrogant young man who had publicly exposed himself at the Heaven on Earth that night and performed wildly in the D hall. Hua Di's cautious attitude at the time revealed this. But what about behind this young man? How many unknown forces were hidden? He dared not think about it, because even that was terrifying enough.

Shuangxi naturally went back to the small villa with Xiao Chong, but after getting off the train, Xiao Chong suddenly said he had some things to take care of and told him to go back first. He said he would be back later. No one expected that his "later" would be a whole day and night. Shuangxi missed his mother dearly, and regardless of what he was doing, he went to see his mother first. Qi Feier saw Shuangxi but didn't see Xiao Chong and couldn't help but ask. Shuangxi more or less guessed that Xiao Chong might have gone off to have fun, so he stammered that he was taking the next train, and then he and his mother hid to the side and chattered about their deep mother-son affection.

Chapter Ten of the Study and Practice: Visiting Relatives

Early in the morning, so early that no one was up except for those who hadn't slept all night, Zhang Fenfang got up. She had barely slept the night before because she knew Xiao Chong was coming back today, and her excitement kept her awake!

Running on the path in Chashan Park, Zhang Fenfang felt a little stupid for running so early for her morning exercise. It was only five o'clock, but she was too excited to sleep, so she decided to exercise her muscles, not for any other reason than to make that rascal feel more comfortable when he was on top of her.

Zhang Fenfang Jogging slowly along the tree-lined path, the path in the morning was like a woman—dark, damp, and narrow. Completely focused on her date with Xiao Chong, she hadn't expected a pair of lustful eyes to be watching her intently in this place at this hour. She was running, purposeful yet carefree. But at a bend in the road, a large hand suddenly grabbed her from behind. She tried to turn around, but instantly the person behind her had grabbed her long ponytail, preventing her from turning. She was dragged into the woods.

Zhang Fenfang was terrified; she wanted to scream. But she didn't know what the consequences would be if she attracted others. The thug was very strong, pressing her down until they

reached the depths of the woods where no one could hear her screams. She wanted to cry, but her strong personality prevented her from doing so. She knew what was about to happen, and she was filled with fear and anxiety. The thug finally stopped, pinning her against a tree and tearing off her sweatpants and underwear. His movements were practiced and without hesitation. She tried to struggle, but the thug gave her no chance, holding her down tightly from beginning to end. Just as the thug pulled off her underwear, the hand holding her hair loosened slightly. Although she couldn't break free, she couldn't help but turn her head to look. What she saw made her both laugh and cry. It turned out that the thug was wearing a plastic mask resembling Chow Yun-fat. Realizing that she already knew his true identity, the thug simply released her. His two large hands began to caress her private parts, the movements rough but not harmful. Moreover, the thug seemed to be very familiar with women's bodies, knowing which parts of their bodies would arouse them.

Zhang Fenfang was filled with fear, worry, and humiliation, yet strangely, her lower body was soaking wet; she could feel it herself. She cursed herself for her shamelessness and her own pathetic, wanton body, that she could feel anything at a time like this. The bandit naturally sensed her change as well. Zhang Fenfang heard the sound of a zipper being pulled down behind her, and she became even more frightened, her body trembling uncontrollably. But the bandit didn't give her much time to panic; in an instant, he had his warm body inside her. The bandit's movements were rough, but her body was already wet, and subconsciously prepared, so his intrusion didn't cause her any discomfort. On the contrary, there was an indescribable feeling... The pleasure...

Zhang Fenfang, clenching her teeth, was utterly ashamed. Being raped, yet feeling a thrill and pleasure—it was unbelievable. Was this really her? Had she become so shameless? She didn't want to be like others said: since rape is unavoidable, learn to enjoy it! But her body wouldn't allow her not to enjoy it (full text novel reading available at Shiliu Literature Network). The fluid leaking from her body told her, and the perpetrators knew, that she felt pleasure. Zhang Fenfang was in excruciating pain. She didn't want to scream, but wave after wave of pleasure surging into her body made it impossible for her to control herself. She screamed, filled with pain, sorrow, and humiliation. She groaned, filled with fear, tears, excitement, and an inappropriate pleasure.

She hated the bandit for raping her, and even more so, she hated her own uncontrollable body. This time, she truly understood the meaning of pain and pleasure intertwined.

The symphony of joy and sorrow ended, but the bandit didn't release her. Instead, he remained inside her, and his large hands didn't stop, continuing to caress her body. Soon, the incredibly powerful bandit began another assault on her... The bandit's lust was as insatiable as Zhang Fenfang's desires, endless. The two hiding in the tree continued to humiliate and be humiliated.

Zhang Fenfang was drenched in sweat, and the bandit was even more profusely sweating. She was utterly devastated to discover that once she reached orgasm, it was completely uncontrollable, and her moans instantly changed color. She didn't know how long she would remain stuck on this boundary between heaven and hell; this feeling was unbearable. Her reason told her she shouldn't be like this. But her body's reaction told the bandits to let the orgasm come even more intensely! If it weren't for the mosquitoes constantly swarming around them, Zhang Fenfang believed the bandits wouldn't have given up so easily. The bandits released her, and she collapsed limply, the continuous orgasms leaving her without the strength to stand. She was utterly devastated to discover that once she reached orgasm, it was completely uncontrollable, and her moans instantly changed color.

"This is exhausting! This job is inhuman! And there are so many mosquitoes. I'll never go to a place like this again!" The thug wiped his sweat. He seemed very uncomfortable wearing a mask; as he wiped, he inadvertently lifted it and complained. Do rapists really exist?

Zhang Fenfang felt like crying when she heard this, but when she saw the thug's face, she froze for a minute and thirty seconds, her mind blank. Then she really started crying. What was wrong with her? She didn't cry when she was raped, but now she was crying! But it seems that's how it's always portrayed on TV!

"You're so perverted! How could you do this?" Zhang Fenfang said, aggrieved. The thug was none other than Xiao Chong playing the role.

"I thought you liked it!" Xiao Chong could still grin and joke at this moment; it was truly remarkable!

"Who said I like it?" Zhang Fenfang's words were full of resentment. It turned out to be a false alarm, and she was satisfied with this outcome, having thoroughly enjoyed her role-playing experience.

Xiao Chong said dismissively, "You say you don't like it, but your body says you do. Look at this wet ground, it's like it's been flooded..."

"You still dare to say that!" Zhang Fenfang interrupted him, looking at the area that did indeed look like it had been flooded, feeling ashamed.

"Fine, fine, I know you like it. Last time you abandoned me when I needed you most, so this time I'm doing this to you, we're even! Come on, get up, get dressed!" Xiao Chong gently reached out to pull her up at the end, but Zhang Fenfang wouldn't get up.

"No, explain yourself clearly, when did I abandon you?" Zhang Fenfang still felt wronged! She thought Xiao Chong was being a scoundrel. Actually, this guy had always been a scoundrel.

"Last time, when you were using sex to beg!" Xiao Chong said.

"What? That sounds awful! When did I go there?" Zhang Fenfang asked, bewildered.

"During the seminar, during the seminar!" Xiao Chong finally snapped out of his daze; not everyone could understand his gibberish.

"Oh, is that so? Humph, who knew you? You only come to pull down my skirt when you like me, and ignore me when you don't!" Zhang Fenfang pressed on relentlessly.

"Yes, yes, it was my fault, okay? Come on, get up, you'll catch a cold!" Xiao Chong said softly.

"No, get down!" Zhang Fenfang's eyes flashed with a light Xiao Chong often saw.

"What kind of grandma do you want to be?" Xiao Chong was most afraid of that kind of look. "You

son of a bitch, you've made me feel so awkward, and now you want to back out? Let me tell you, no way!" Zhang Fenfang gritted her teeth, looking like she wanted to devour Xiao Chong whole.

"Please don't be like this, okay? There are so many mosquitoes. If you really want to, let's go somewhere else. Besides, it's not safe here! We might get caught!" Xiao Chong used delaying tactics.

"I don't care! Get down or not, or I'll scream for help!" Zhang Fenfang said fiercely, determined to teach this pervert a lesson.

"No, don't scream! Huh, why didn't you scream when I did that to you?" Xiao Chong asked, a little puzzled.

"How was I supposed to know it was you?" Zhang Fenfang blurted out naturally.

"What? You scream when it's me, but not when it's someone else? Looks like I'm going to get a green hat sooner or later!" Xiao Chong tried to dodge her.

"Stop your damn bastard talk and lie down! Humph, you're good at being a cuckold, but you're not good at being a cuckold!" Zhang Fenfang said, gently pulling Xiao Chong's arm. Xiao Chong immediately collapsed to the ground as if he had no bones left! Zhang Fenfang didn't care whether he was faking death or unconscious. She gently walked to his waist and slowly, slowly, slowly sat down...

As evening fell, Xiao Chong finally returned to the small courtyard.

Susan was still in Wuzhen; it would take her three days and two nights to get back. Sun Shanshan had flown to England to help her pharmaceutical company enter the international market.

Qi Feier, nearly nine months pregnant, happily stayed at home awaiting childbirth. Although she was somewhat angry that Xiao Chong had left without a word, she could understand his intentions. Too much sorrow during separation wasn't good for the fetus. She could face everything else rationally and calmly, but when it came to feelings, she often... Unable to control herself.

After more than two months apart, Qi Feier's longing for Xiao Chong was like her longing for sex after nine months, even more intense. Xiao Chong's skin had darkened, but he looked even more dashing. Seeing him, Qi Feier couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Did you climb onto a coal train to get back?"

Xiao Chong looked at himself, and was startled. He didn't look like he'd climbed a train; he looked like he'd crawled through a tunnel. He was covered in mud, especially his pants, which were stained with patches of mud that were quite shocking and made him look extremely disheveled.

"Hehe, I crawled through a tunnel!" Xiao Chong had indeed just crawled through some kind of tunnel, but definitely not a mountain tunnel.

"Just got back? Stop it! Isn't the army tough enough for you? Go take a shower!" Qi Feier didn't bother to find out where he'd been or what he'd done. She felt that giving men some time and space would better foster their relationship.

Hearing Qi Feier's words, Shuangxi's mother was about to reassure Xiaochong, but Xiaochong stopped her, saying, "Mother, I'll do it myself. Shuangxi is my brother, and you are my mother too. I dare not and cannot let my own mother serve me; that would shorten my lifespan!"

"This, this isn't right, is it?" Shuangxi's mother was a virtuous and kind woman; she felt this was her duty.

"No, Mother, listen to me, don't worry about anything, okay? These past few days since I came back, let Shuangxi and I take care of you. You are all my family!" Xiaochong's emotions suddenly became heavy when he thought of his family. He remembered a saying: "The child wishes to care for his parents, but they are no longer there!" Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but have his eyes redden. "The child wishes to care for his parents, but they are no longer there"—what a true and heartbreaking statement.

"...Brother!" Shuangxi, standing to the side, was already in tears, unsure of what to say.

"Alright, stop being so sentimental like a woman. I'm going to take a shower!" Xiaochong said, punching Shuangxi lightly before heading into the shower room.

The small courtyard only had four rooms. Xiao Chong used to never have trouble finding a place to live, but now the family was larger, and there was a growing demand. The study and gym had to be removed, barely enough to accommodate everyone. But if Susan and Sun Shanshan came back, the four of them would have to share a bed. Although this was something Xiao Chong had always dreamed of but never experienced, he was afraid it would affect Qi Feier's mood, and even more afraid of accidentally kicking her in the stomach. He couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Young Master, there's something I want to discuss with you, is that alright?" Qi Feier said to Xiao Chong as he walked out of the shower room.

"What is it? When are you going to change how you address me? It makes me feel like I've gone back to the old society, like the son of a wealthy landowner!" Xiao Chong teased.

"It's probably impossible in this life. Maybe we can change it in the next life… By the way, what are you interrupting for! I need to discuss something important with you!" A simple sentence revealed the deep love Qi Feier had for Xiao Chong.

"Then tell me, what is it?" Xiao Chong asked.

"I think we should buy the land behind the house and build a two-story duplex!" Qi Feier said.

"That sounds good, but we don't have any money! The meager allowance the army gives us is barely enough for chicken scraps, and our savings are almost gone! I don't know what to do if things continue like this!" Xiao Chong realized he was truly broke.

"You forgot, I only invested a portion of the money in the herbal medicine company with the card you gave me, so I still have some money!" Qi Feier reminded him.

"That's yours, how could I use your money?" Xiao Chong unusually didn't show any greed.

"Hmph!" Qi Feier got angry easily, her eyebrows furrowing.

"What's wrong? Getting angry isn't good for the baby!" Xiao Chong said gently.

"You're so heartless! What do you mean, 'yours' and 'mine'? Isn't what's mine yours? Our lives are intertwined, and you still have the nerve to say things like that? How can I not be angry?" Qi Feier scolded playfully.

"Alright, whatever you say goes. I'm powerless to do anything about it right now!" Xiao Chong realized his own incompetence and how he'd forgotten to leave himself a way out. If he hadn't given all his money to Hua Di and had kept some for himself, he wouldn't be in such a pathetic state. In his view, using a woman's money was being a kept man, and being a kept man was utterly pathetic. If Shen Xue found out, she'd tear him apart. In fact, many of the things he was doing now would make his mother tear him apart, but he just wasn't aware of it.

"Don't worry about us. The medicinal herb company is showing results, and we're getting monthly dividends. So you don't need to worry about anything, go and train with peace of mind!" Qi Fei'er said.

"Yeah, that's all I can do!" Xiao Chong truly felt incredibly pathetic, being supported by a woman, but he really didn't have any better options right now! However, what would Xiao Chong think if he knew that his father had actually been hoping for a woman to support him back then? On the second day after

the birth of Long Xing in Chapter Eleven of the Learning and Conduct section

, Hua Di arrived. Zhang Zhijie was too busy to deal with the visits from his aunts, cousins, and other relatives. He didn't know how he suddenly had so many relatives.

The three brothers sat at the stone table under the yellow-flowered tree in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting. This feeling was really nice!

"Hua Di, how's the gang going?" Xiao Chong asked without avoiding Shuang Xi. Shuang Xi naturally understood that this was an intentional attempt to drag him into the mess, but he didn't care. Since he had already decided to share life and death with him, his affairs were his own.

"This..." Hua Di hesitated, unsure of what to say. His gaze intentionally or unintentionally drifted towards Shuang Xi. He always remembered Xiao Chong's words: without his permission, he could not reveal his identity to anyone. Although Shuang Xi had been through thick and thin with him, this made him even more conflicted.

“Shuangxi is already like family, there are no secrets we can’t tell each other. Besides, with his quick wit, we can’t hide anything from him!” Xiao Chong understood that this senior brother, who disliked showing off and kept his talents hidden, was no less intelligent than himself. If he wanted to make good use of him,

he had to be honest and straightforward. Shuangxi remained noncommittal, waiting for him to continue.

“Xiao Pang has already established himself in Xincheng, and Yuancheng is fine too, but if he wants to expand further, I’m afraid it’s not the right time yet! Although Xiao Pang is good, he’s not ready to take over Shicheng! Wula has almost finished his business in Wuzhen, and Grandpa’s wife, Madam Su, is also a good manager. Wula says he has nothing to do every day and is very bored! I have already compiled the income statistics and made the accounts, please take a look, Grandpa!” Hua Di said, handing over the account book.

"Oh? Susan has this ability? I underestimated her!" Xiao Chong couldn't help but praise, then said to Hua Di, "If Susan is really capable, you should call Wula back and let Susan become more independent. People need to be tempered to become useful! Besides, Yuancheng needs someone like Wula to hold things in check. Although Xiao Pang is good, he's busy with two things at once, so I'm afraid he can't win for the time being." Xiao Chong looked like he was giving orders.

"Okay, I'll call right now. He's wanted to come back for a long time, but without our orders, he wouldn't dare to come back even if he suffocated over there!" Hua Di said as he got up to make the call. He deliberately left because he could tell that Xiao Chong had something to say to Shuangxi.

"Senior brother, what are your thoughts on this matter?" Xiao Chong hinted but didn't say it directly, because he knew Shuangxi would understand.

“Actually, I figured out Hua Di’s identity a long time ago. Putting aside everything else, his respectful attitude towards you alone tells me he’s a gangster. And you, I knew you were definitely not simple, and I didn’t expect you to actually not disappoint me! Not just a gangster, but a gang leader!” Shuangxi exclaimed.

“Then you should let me know the purpose of this matter!” Xiao Chong asked again.

Shuangxi took a sip of tea before slowly saying, “I know, I knew a long time ago. From the day you appeared in the operating room, I knew you had bad intentions, but I was just stupid! I still stubbornly ran into your arms…”

“Senior brother, don’t say it so disgustingly, okay? If you say it like that, people will easily misunderstand that we’re gay!” Xiao Chong rolled his eyes.

"We're comrades, military comrades! I've thought it through for a long time. Now that I'm on your ship, I can't back out! Besides, I don't want to live a mediocre or uneventful life. With you, I know life will be exciting and thrilling. I've known this for the past six months already, hehe. I may not say it out loud, but you don't know how much I like you!" Shuangxi was surprisingly a typical repressed flirt, which really annoyed Xiaochong. He didn't need any persuasion at all, and he even spent the whole night thinking of what to say.

"Alright then, don't regret it later and say I dragged you into the underworld! By the way, you absolutely can't tell Mom about this!" Xiaochong said.

"I'd regret it if you didn't drag me in. Do you think I'm stupid? How can I let Mom know about this? Do you want her to beat me to death?" Shuangxi even winked at him, which was rare for him.

Hua Di returned at this moment and, seeing the two chatting happily, knew something good must have happened.

"Hua Di, we have another brother in our gang!" Xiao Chong said to Hua Di, looking at Shuang Xi.

"Shuang Xi is joining too? Hehe, that's great!" Hua Di said with a good-natured smile.

"Brother Hua, I'm a newbie, so give me a chance to rise in rank!" Shuang Xi said with a smile.

"Well, I don't even know what to call you anymore. You're Grandpa's senior brother, but you call me brother. Damn it, I'm so confused!" Hua Di couldn't help but laugh after saying this, and everyone burst into laughter.

"Everyone should call each other what they want, Hua Di. Actually, you don't need to call me Grandpa. We're already brothers!" Xiao Chong was always troubled by all sorts of titles.

"You can cut off my head, you can mess up my hair, but you can't mess up our seniority, Grandpa!" Hua Di said.

"What's the name of our gang?" Shuang Xi couldn't help but ask.

"It seems we've never had a name!" Hua Di said, scratching his head.

“Yeah, I forgot about that too. Even shell companies have names, we should get one too, and adopt a group-style management model! Hong Kong has Hung Hing and Tung Hing, Japan has the damn Yamada-gumi, America has the Mafia, so let’s call ourselves Dragon Rising. The dragon is a traditional Chinese symbol, and we’ve been really annoyed lately because of the Carrefour thing! Dragon Rising also means that the Chinese people should prosper!” Xiao Chong said worriedly.

“Grandpa, how about I call someone to smash up Carrefour and tell those foreign devils to shut up!” Hua Di said.

“It’s no use. The main thing is that the Chinese people need to learn to be self-reliant. Smashing up Carrefour won’t solve the problem at its root, it will only cause more trouble.” Xiao Chong said clearly.

“Yeah! If we’re going to smash anything, we should smash up the foreign devils’ headquarters!” Shuang Xi’s idea was even more ruthless. “

Sigh, what a mess this is! Let’s not talk about this anymore. We’ll be going back soon. I wonder what kind of scheme that immoral Yuan Da Tou will come up with to mess with us?” Hua Di said with some worry.

“What? Are you scared?” Xiao Chong asked.

"I'm not afraid of him at all! Don't even mention one Yuan Datou, I wouldn't care about ten of them. It's just that his tricks are truly bizarre and unpredictable!" Hua Di said.

"Hehe, no need to worry unnecessarily. Let him bring his cattle over if he dares!" Shuangxi either doesn't speak at all, or when he does, he's always full of bravado.

"..."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, like premature ejaculation after sex, ending abruptly. It was time to leave. Everyone had their own story, but the sorrow of parting was the same.

Chapter Twelve of the Learning and Practice: Devilish Training

. When Xiao Chong and the other two returned to the unit, Zhang Zhijie arrived just in time! This guy seemed to have gained weight in three days, becoming quite plump. His pig feed must be quite good!

Yuan Datou quickly blew the assembly call, and the eight men instantly arrived at the parade ground.

"Hehe, living the good life, huh? You've only been home for a few days and you've already gained so much weight. Very good, very good. I'll make you all lose weight, I'll make you all lean and wiry, like monkeys! You've had a long journey today, and as your leader, I understand. So, I won't have too much planned for today. In five minutes (this book is reprinted from Shiliu Literature Network), we'll have a 10-kilometer armed cross-country run, including bulletproof vests, 4 magazines, 5 magazines for submachine guns/assault rifles, helmets, daggers, cross-country boots, first aid kits, rations, water bottles, communication equipment, and multi-tools. Plus 10-kilogram sandbag vests and 5-kilogram sandbag leg wraps. Because you might have eaten a bit too much on your trip home, I'll also add a 120-kilogram crossbeam for every four people to help you digest!" Yuan Jun seemed very kind.

"Wow!" The eight people couldn't help but exclaim in unison.

"Wow? Is that too little?" Yuan Jun asked.

"No!" The eight voices were all in unison, as if they came from one person.

"After a 10km armed cross-country run, we'll eat, then a 10km swim. The last two will have to run an extra 2km!" Yuan Jun said in a deep, serious voice.

"Wow?" The eight men exclaimed again.

"Is it too short?" Yuan Jun countered.

"No!" the eight men replied once more.

"Then stop yelling. If you make me unhappy, the 10km will be changed to 20km." Yuan Jun was like a tyrant, constantly using this to pressure people.

"Also... let's talk about that later. As long as you can still stand, I, this immoral Yuan Datou, will definitely serve you well, hahaha~~~ Now, get ready, let's go!" Yuan Jun's appearance was incredibly ferocious at this moment.

Xiao Chong and his three companions, fully equipped, had barely managed to hoist the crossbeam onto their shoulders when they immediately regretted it. They shouldn't have offended the unscrupulous Yuan Da Tou. This was no human job; all their gear, plus the log, weighed at least a hundred pounds. Forget a ten-kilometer run, they'd have to do cross-country running, barely managing a hundred meters. But they'd already offended him, and they'd never learned to apologize. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and go for it.

"Run!" Yuan Jun commanded. The eight men split into two groups, the two logs swaying like waddling ducks as they moved towards their destination.

"Maintain formation! Run faster! Slow as a bunch of women! Don't you have balls?" Yuan Jun, sitting in the jeep, wasn't idle either, shouting sternly every now and then.

The eight men gritted their teeth and pressed forward, but their waists, strapped with ten-kilogram sandbag vests, couldn't bend over to exert any strength. They managed to bend down, but then they had no strength left to straighten up. The legs, bound with five kilograms of leggings, felt as heavy as if they were sinking into mud. (This book is reprinted from Shiliu Literature Network.) Every step required immense effort, especially the wooden bar on their shoulders, which averaged at least thirty kilograms per person. It felt like a venomous snake was constantly biting them, causing them to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"Hurry up, you piece of trash! This little bit of work has made you like this? Show some manly spirit! Aren't you so brave in bed? You're no good at sleeping with women. Show me your skills on the battlefield!" Yuan Jun had no concept of consideration. The special forces soldiers of the D Group Army's S Reconnaissance Brigade knew that once they were on the training field, they were no longer human, and he didn't treat his men like human beings either. At this moment, he was like Qin Shi Huang, possessed by the spirit of King Zhou, utterly brutal!

The eight men were all tough guys; they couldn't bear such humiliation. Even if they weren't pushed, they would run forward with their chests out, even if it meant breaking a leg, losing an arm, or losing their lives. Unfortunately, their actions didn't earn Yuan Jun's sympathy. The more they resisted, the more excited Yuan Jun became, like a bandit encountering a strong-willed, resolute young woman who refused to submit. The more she resisted, the more energetic he became, finding new ways to torture her. Submitting would be pointless.

"Hey, what's wrong? Can't take it anymore? Damn, this is just the beginning! Don't you guys like posting insults online? Show me your insulting spirit, let me see how capable you really are! You're nothing if you challenge me, try challenging me on the training field! Hey, glare at me again, and I'll teach you a lesson!" Yuan Datou said, looking at the man who was running slower and slower and still defying his orders. That man was none other than Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong really wanted to throw away the crossbar, rush into the jeep, and give that immoral Yuan Datou a good beating, but he didn't dare. He knew Yuan Datou would continue to use that crossbar on the remaining three brothers. He could disregard himself, but he couldn't disregard his brothers, so he could only endure it, desperately endure it! Never before had he suffered such humiliation; for the first time, he tasted the bitterness of being insulted but unable to resist. The pain in his heart weighed much heavier than the crossbar on his shoulder.

"Three more kilometers, you cowards! Look how long it took you to run such a short distance! If it were a real special forces soldier, they would have been chatting, drinking water, and joking around at the destination for half an hour by now. Hurry up, stop dawdling. I don't have that kind of patience!" Yuan Jun, standing on the jeep, certainly didn't feel the pain at all.

Xiao Chong and the others were still holding on, determined to die rather than give up. No one complained. They knew they were all in the same boat; whoever fell first would drop the burden on the other three, and none of them wanted to add to the burden by falling themselves. Although their personalities differed, their brotherhood was equally deep. Neither of them wanted to be a burden to their brothers.

Zhang Zhijie was the weakest and least physically capable of the four, yet he was stronger than ever before. He could shed tears and suffer injustice, but he couldn't let his brothers suffer for him, even though his eyes were already blurry, his strength waning, and the crossbeam on his shoulder felt like a mountain pressing down on him, as if it were being torn apart. But he wouldn't fall, he resolutely wouldn't fall, he wouldn't abandon or give up. Although it was a legend to others, it was also his belief. As long as Xiao Chong was there, as long as his brothers were there, he would not be afraid, panicked, flustered, or discouraged. Although this could be considered a kind of dependence, for the original him, getting to this point was indeed not easy.

A person's physical strength always has its limits, especially for these new special forces soldiers who hadn't even finished basic training. This kind of training was undoubtedly throwing them directly into hell. Now they finally understood how abnormal the so-called devilish training that Yuan Datou had mentioned really was. Zhang Zhijie, whose will had disappeared, no longer had any autonomy. He just took steps out of habit. He felt that everything in front of him was blurry. He really wanted to fall down, even if it was just to lie on the ground for a while. The whole world in his eyes was tilting and turning, as if the earth was swaying. Suddenly, everything went black before his eyes, and he fell down. The log suddenly fell on the other three men. Already struggling, the three, though only carrying ten kilograms, felt as if they'd been suddenly burdened with a thousand pounds, as if a giant hammer had struck their shoulders. They collapsed, the log pressing down on them.

"Damn it, you guys have disappointed me so much! Just a few steps and you're acting like you're dying! You're trash, the worst of the worst. God, is this the kind of soldiers I chose?" Yuan Jun looked utterly disappointed, but his subordinates were silently directing the medics to rush forward.

Xiao Chong and the others had completely lost face. Their self-respect and dignity had been utterly destroyed by the immoral Yuan Jun. However, just as Yuan Jun had said, this was only the beginning. Their good days were far from over, long enough for Yuan Jun to lose his excitement. But when would he stop being excited? His desires were so strong; even the slightest stimulation could excite him. It seemed Xiao Chong and the others' suffering was boundless and endless.

The rescuers only gave the wounded soldiers some sugar water; they didn't provide any other medicine. The original soldier generously allowed them three minutes of rest before ordering them to carry the logs and continue their journey for the remaining three kilometers. These three kilometers were the longest stretch of road Xiao Chong and his men had walked in their twenty-odd years—long and arduous. They trudged through it all, step by step, drop by drop of sweat.

When they reached their destination, they felt like the four members of the Tang Monk's group, having endured eighty-one tribulations, finally seeing the Buddha's light! They didn't need their Bibles or beds; they just collapsed and lay there, utterly exhausted. The other group of four wasn't much better off. Even as veterans, they had never undergone such strenuous training; it was beyond their limits. But they felt no sympathy for these new recruits, not at all, because they too needed compassion!

Chapter Thirteen of the Learning and Conduct section describes how the rebellion was forced upon him. The

after-dinner entertainment was a ten-kilometer swim.

Yuan Jun said it was as easy as eating vegetables for him, and he would often use it for amusement.

Xiao Chong insisted he didn't believe him and even made a bet. Yuan Jun, undeterred, immediately took off his underwear and ran naked into the sea, quickly disappearing from sight.

"Alright, the whole world is quiet now, everyone hurry up and get some rest! This Yuan Datou doesn't use his brain at all. If he can't even do this, how could he become the captain of the S Brigade of the D Group Army!" Xiao Chong said, sitting down on the beach. It turned out he had deliberately provoked Yuan Jun to get some rest.

The other seven, hearing Xiao Chong's words, finally understood that he had sacrificed himself for the collective good by washing Yuan Datou's smelly socks for a week. Shuangxi and the others were numb to it; Xiao Chong's kindness to them had been going on for a long time, to the point of being indifferent and numb to his defeats. The other four were different. Although they had all suffered under Yuan Datou's command, none of them were willing to submit to the others. However, Xiao Chong's actions genuinely won them their favor.

"Brother, from now on we're buddies. My name is Zhao Xiaogang, from the Steel Infantry Company!" Zhao Xiaogang walked over and said kindly to Xiao Chong.

"No wonder you love meat, so you're from the infantry company. It must have been tough for you, brother!" Xiao Chong said, lightly patting his muscular chest.

"My name is Huang Zhenjun, I used to be in the artillery company!" Huang Zhenjun also came over and said.

"Hehe, brother, you made the right choice coming here. The artillery company is firing cannons all day long, it's not only tiring but also annoying!" Xiao Chong said as if he had been an artilleryman himself! Artilleryman? Yes, before joining the army, he was a full-fledged artilleryman, firing cannons all day long.

"Yeah, it made me suffer from insomnia all the time, but it's gotten a little better now that I'm here!" Huang Zhenjun said, feeling even more favorably disposed towards Xiao Chong! Xiao Chong, however, thought to himself, firing cannons definitely causes insomnia.

“Count me in too, I’m Zhu Lide, from the airborne company!” Zhu Lide leaned forward and said.

“Okay, if we get a chance to go out, let’s have a good drink, brothers!” Xiao Chong said, gesturing for Zhu Lide to drink.

“Hehe, that would be great!” Zhu Lide said with a good-natured smile.

“I’m not missing anyone, I’m Chen Shisan from the first company of the newly popularized PC regiment! We’re brothers from now on!” Chen Shisan said with a smile.

“Yeah, I know you, you’re a net addict! Everyone, sit down quickly, this is Hua Di, Shuangxi, Xiao Jie, my name is Xiao Chong! Yuan Datou might not be back for a while! Let’s try to get some rest!” Xiao Chong said, tugging at Zhu Lide, and everyone sat down. The army was a pure place, and no one knew Xiao Chong’s cunning and sly mind. Hua Di and Zhang Zhijie were just wondering how Xiao Chong could remember everyone’s hobbies and characteristics so clearly, but Shuangxi knew very well, and of course, he also knew Xiao Chong’s purpose in doing so.

Yuan Datou swam five kilometers before realizing he'd been tricked and quickly swam back, but the round trip was already ten kilometers. When he got back to shore, he found his eight soldiers fast asleep on the beach, huddled together. He was both angry and amused.

"Damn it! I've been swimming around in the sea while you've been sleeping soundly. Damn it, another ten kilometers as punishment!" Yuan Jun roared.

The men, startled awake by the shouts, only paused for a few seconds before quickly warming up and diving back into the sea. Although they were punished with an extra ten kilometers, they all had a good night's sleep, so no one blamed Xiao Chong's ingenious idea.

After the ten-kilometer round trip, everyone was exhausted and collapsed. Swimming ten kilometers at sea is more physically demanding than running twenty kilometers on land. On land, the strain is mainly on the legs, and arm swings require minimal effort if done naturally. At sea, however, it's different. Not only does it require balance and coordination, but the arms and legs must exert force simultaneously. Neck movement is also crucial; neck strain makes even the strongest arms and legs feel strained. Xiao Chong and his team are excellent swimmers with impressive speed, but in the special forces, it's not just about speed, but also endurance and teamwork.

That day, Yuan Jun was indeed lenient, only conducting the two routine training exercises before letting Xiao Chong and his men off the hook. Little did they know, Yuan Jun wasn't joking; these two exercises were merely a daily entertainment, the real show yet to come. On the first day, it wasn't that Yuan Jun didn't want to participate in other activities, but with all eight of his soldiers out of commission, who else could he find to play with? The other S-Army soldiers were all completely submissive to him, offering no challenge whatsoever. Seeing them annoyed him; these greenhorns were much more fun! He wanted to play with them slowly, little by little, absolutely not too much, otherwise he'd have to search for them in this company or that company. Treasures like Xiao Chong weren't easy to find, so he cherished every minute he could play with them. And now, the real show was about to begin.

Three hours after lights out, Yuan Datou's assembly call sounded urgently again.

The bugle call was like a harbinger of the coming of a demon, or the agonizing scream of a deadly ghost. Upon hearing it, Xiao Chong and the others immediately jumped out of bed, packed their belongings, and rushed to the training ground within a minute. Even so, they still earned a torrent of abuse from Yuan Datou.

"Dreaming? Dreaming of sexy girls? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you here? A minute and a half! What do you think will happen in a minute and a half? How many people do you think will die in a minute and a half? You sons of bitches, it seems you've been too comfortable all along! What do you think you are? Young masters? Are you still half asleep? This is the D Group Army's S Reconnaissance Battalion, you are the official reserve force of special forces, do you still think you're at home?" "In the company, you have your parents looking after you, and your company commander and political instructor spoiling you. Let me tell you, here, the only ones who can take care of you and spoil you are yourselves. You only have the right to do so if you pass my training. Otherwise, you're still trash, the trashiest of trash. Now, get dressed, load up, 10-kilometer armed cross-country run, four people in a group coordinating the load, followed by a 10-kilometer swim. Let's go! Go go go go go!" The eight reserve special forces soldiers, who hadn't even finished dreaming, hurriedly prepared under the immoral Yuan Datou

's repeated urging. One log moved forward, noticeably slower than yesterday.

"Damn it, he's inhuman, only slept for three hours before getting up!" Zhang Zhijie complained repeatedly.

"Yeah, I was dreaming about a girl, just undressed, about to go in, when I was woken up!" Hua Di said with dissatisfaction.

"How was it? Was the girl pretty?" Shuangxi asked.

"How's her figure? If she's not pretty, just cover your head. The most important thing is her figure!" Xiao Chong's ideas were always bizarre, unconventional, and terrifying. What if that girl looked like Ru Hua? People say that figure and talent are secondary, and a pretty face is the most important thing, but he was the opposite. Just as

Hua Di was about to say that both her face and figure were exceptional, Yuan Da Tou roared again: "You sons of bitches, you still have the mood to chat and joke? Looks like the crossbeam isn't heavy enough. Looks like I'll have to make you carry an extra one tomorrow! I want to see just how tough you really are!" Yuan Jun shouted at them from the jeep.

"We'll be as tough as you are, and even a little tougher than you, what do you all say?" Xiao Chong roared even louder than Yuan Jun.

"Yes!" The eight men roared in unison. Xiao Chong's boldness ignited their fighting spirit. Although they knew very well that offending Yuan Da Tou would have consequences worse than death, if they were afraid of death, they wouldn't have become special forces soldiers!

"Fine, you son of a bitch, I'm not afraid of your arrogance. I'm afraid of your lack of arrogance!" Yuan Datou roared loudly. He had never seen anyone dare to challenge him like this before!

"Yuan Datou, bring on whatever bullshit you have, I'm not afraid!" Xiao Chong's arrogance was even more overbearing.

"Not afraid!" His eight brothers also looked ready to die! It seems youth really is an asset; they had already adapted to this inhuman work so quickly.

"Hehe! Very good, your magnanimity impresses me. You've really broadened my horizons. I've never seen such arrogant recruits!" Yuan Jun grinned maliciously from the vehicle.

"Yuan Datou, shut the hell up! During training, just tell us what to do, otherwise shut your stinking mouth. Don't fucking cause trouble here, you're useless!" Xiao Chong roared.

"Shut up!" His brothers also shouted angrily. It seemed they really wanted to rebel!

"Brothers, give it your all, don't let this bastard look down on us!" Xiao Chong roared with all his might this time.

"Go for it!" The other seven shouted and gritted their teeth, running forward with all their might. They quickly overtook the jeep, blocking it behind the crossbar so it couldn't get in front of them.

"Come on, everyone, sing with me, there's a principle that doesn't need explaining, one, two, three, rise!" Xiao Chong was truly a master of rebellion. If he were put back in the pre-liberation era when the Japanese invaded us, would he become another Chairman Mao?

"There's a principle that doesn't need explaining~~ Soldiers should go to the battlefield~~~ Tigers should roam the mountains~~ Dragons should go to the ocean~~ Who doesn't have a father~~~~ Who doesn't have a mother~~~~~~~~~~ Who doesn't feel heartache for their loved ones~~~~~~~ As long as the bugle sounds~~~~ We put everything aside~~~~~." None of the eight men sang very well, but their powerful voices revealed their unyielding spirit.

Yuan Datou was instantly moved by the intense atmosphere. He recalled when he was selected for the special forces; he really wanted to join them and become one of them. But it was impossible. Now he was playing the villain, and a major villain at that. His role was mainly to constantly torment these unruly recruits in various ways.

Chapter Fourteen of the Learning and Practice section: You Think I'm Omnipotent.

After the two entertainment programs, it was lunchtime. Unlike the recruit training camp, although Xiao Chong and the others had learned the skills of getting food, they had just left the recruit training camp and had no chance to practice. It was actually very simple: take a small amount for the first bowl and eat it quickly, then you can get a second bowl. Fill the second bowl completely, then you can eat it slowly, counting each grain as long as you have time. So why not get a third bowl? Of course, would you even have a chance for a third bowl?

After lunch, before the guys even had time to pick their teeth, Yuan Datou's call to assemble sounded again.

"Damn it, is Yuan Datou ever going to stop..." Xiao Chong complained, but before he could finish, his brothers dragged him to the training ground.

"Driving training: motorcycle, car, armored vehicle, tank, helicopter—choose one. First, we'll learn cars. The last two will have to do 300 push-ups!" Yuan Jun gave a brief order.

"Damn, do we even need to learn this? I could drive at fifteen, I was unbeatable in Chinatown at sixteen, and I stopped driving at seventeen!" Xiao Chong said.

"Why did you stop driving at seventeen?" Zhu Lide couldn't help but ask.

"I crashed, and the Americans said I was driving without a license. If they keep doing that, they won't let me take the driving test!" Xiao Chong said dismissively.

"Wow, you're a returnee from overseas?" Huang Zhenzhong asked.

"Quick, tell us what Chinatown is like?" Zhao Xiaogang followed up.

"..." Chen Shisan was about to speak when Yuan Jun, whose face had been ashen, finally roared, "You sons of bitches, do you think I'm invisible? The army has its discipline. Who gave you permission to talk in the barracks? Ouyang Chong, break the rule, one hundred pull-ups!" Yuan Jun had finally caught Xiao Chong red-handed.

"Wow, one hundred! How about this, Yuan Datou, let's make a bet. We'll bet on this car's acceleration within 100 meters. If you win, I'll add another hundred to the penalty. If you lose, the hundred pull-ups are waived. How about it?" Xiao Chong bargained.

"Okay, very good. I'll make you do two hundred, until your legs cramp and your lower body is crippled! Get in the car!" Yuan Jun readily got into the car.

"One, two, three, go~~~~~~~" Zhang Zhijie shouted, immediately waving the white thing in his hand. What was that? Triangular, pure cotton, wide at the bottom—it looked more and more like women's underwear! Before anyone could get a closer look, Zhang Zhijie had already put it away, and the two cars sped off.

Xiao Chong's driving skills were indeed exceptional, but he was still a fraction of a second slower than Yuan Jun at the start. In that fraction of a second, Yuan Jun had already surged ahead of Xiao Chong. No matter how much Xiao Chong pressed the accelerator or shifted gears, he couldn't overtake Yuan Jun within 100 meters. However, the two reached the finish line almost simultaneously. Xiao Chong knew he had lost, utterly lost, all because of that fraction of a second at the start. If he had started as quickly as Yuan Jun, he would have had an absolute advantage when accelerating.

"How about it? Are you convinced?" Yuan Jun asked Xiao Chong with a smile after getting out of the car.

"It's just a tiny bit slower at the start, what's the big deal!" Xiao Chong said.

“A real man should accept his loss. Even though it looks like we reached the finish line together, you know what really happened!” Yuan Jun said.

Xiao Chong didn't say anything, but ran to the horizontal bar and started doing pull-ups. He was a scoundrel, but that was just for flirting with his women. He never cheated at other times; a loss was a loss, and this time he accepted it wholeheartedly.

When Xiao Chong returned to the team, his legs had cramped several times, but it would probably take at least five hundred pull-ups to cripple him. A hundred a day would never be enough, and it might even turn him into a speedster.

“Driving a car is a very artistic thing; you can't just force it, you need skill. Is there anyone among us who hasn't learned to drive?” Yuan Jun asked.

“…” No one spoke, which meant that no one was someone who couldn't drive!

"You can all drive? That saves me a lot of trouble. You all saw it, right? But I want to demonstrate it for you again! Please listen to the engine sound when I brake and start, shifting gears." Yuan Jun said, getting into the car. As soon as the door closed, the car shot off like an arrow, instantly reaching top speed. Yuan Datou's driving skills were truly remarkable. In no time, he disappeared from everyone's sight. Just as the guys were about to take a break, they saw Yuan Datou's car rushing towards them at top speed. The guys remained calm, believing that Yuan Datou wouldn't dare to hit them.

Twenty meters, someone broke out in a cold sweat.

Ten meters, someone's hands and feet trembled.

Five meters, someone retreated to the back.

Two meters, only one person remained standing in the original line. Yes, that person was Xiao Chong.

Was Yuan Jun really going to kill them? Yes, everyone could tell from the momentum of his charge that he showed no sign of braking. He was like a premeditated murderer, a heartless wolf.

At 1.8 meters tall, the height of a standard man, and four steps away, Yuan Jun still showed no sign of braking. His brothers, watching Xiao Chong standing there dumbfounded, admired his courage while simultaneously holding their breath in suspense. The more timid ones had already closed their eyes, unable to bear witnessing the impending tragedy.

At this moment, Xiao Chong remained remarkably calm. The car was right in front of him, and from a distance to its normal size in his eyes, he seemed completely unmoved. This calmness was something no one else possessed. He simply stared intently at Yuan Jun sitting in the car, his cold gaze—was it this gaze that frightened Yuan Jun? Or perhaps he never intended to kill anyone. Just then, Yuan Jun suddenly swerved the steering wheel, a sharp turn, and simultaneously, the sound of brakes screeching. White smoke billowed from the rear of the car, rapidly engulfing Xiao Chong in the dust. The car

had come to a complete stop; a tragedy hadn't occurred. The brothers hadn't seen Xiao Chong, who had been swept away by the rear of the car! When the smoke cleared, they saw Xiao Chong; he seemed to still be standing there, seemingly motionless, with the car only ten centimeters from his body. Ten centimeters is a life. Yuan Jun's driving skills... The applause was deafening

, not because of Yuan Jun's astonishing driving skills, but because of Xiao Chong's composure. Such a person was undoubtedly their leader; the boss's seat belonged to him alone.

Yuan Jun got out of the car and, passing Xiao Chong, uttered the only words he had ever spoken in his life: "You're not bad; you're certainly qualified to challenge me!"

After lining up, Yuan Jun began his lecture: "You've already seen my driving skills. You only need to master half of that. Do you know why I started so quickly?"

"No!" Damn it, if we knew, we wouldn't need you to teach us! Everyone thought the same thing!

"Alright, let me explain in detail. First, let's look at my competition with Xiao Chong. He was sitting in the driver's seat with both feet on the pedals, without pressing the accelerator, clutch, or brake, and he even pulled the handbrake! He was also in neutral!" Yuan Jun seemed to have been sitting next to Xiao Chong the whole time, fully aware of his every move.

"And what about you?" Everyone was exasperated by his half-hearted answer.

"I had one foot on the clutch and one on the brake, and I didn't even engage the handbrake. My gear was in second! Now you understand why I was faster than him?" Yuan Jun asked.

"We understand!" Everyone had driving experience; how could they not know? When Xiao Chong starts, he releases the handbrake, then presses the clutch, brakes, shifts gears, then releases the brake, and simultaneously releases the clutch and accelerates. Although this sequence is fluid, it still can't be faster than Yuan Jun's, because Yuan Jun simply released the clutch and pressed the accelerator, and the car shot forward.

"Good that you understand! Xiao Chong's actions are in line with the normal operating procedure of a driver, without any mistakes! There are three advantages to doing it this way: first, it saves fuel! Second, it reduces engine wear. Third, it allows the legs to relax and rest properly! But who are we? We are not ordinary drivers. We need to minimize the time difference as much as possible. Maybe it's just a second or two, but a second or two is extremely important to us, because in that second or two we might have already completed a task, or we might have lost the opportunity to complete the task! Do you understand?" Yuan Datou's words were indeed reasonable.

"Understood!" everyone replied.

"Alright, now you all familiarize yourselves with the car's performance. In a moment, we will practice avoiding obstacles and driving through steep, wavy water!" Yuan Jun finished speaking and walked away, and the brothers scattered and rushed into the car.

"Shuangxi! Come here for a second!" Xiao Chong, who had been standing there without moving, called out.

"What's wrong? You performed exceptionally well just now, I admire you so much! You didn't even dodge, that's really impressive! How did you know that Yuan Datou would brake?" Shuangxi came over and asked.

"Admire my ass! You think I don't want to dodge? I have to be able to dodge! That pull-up just now gave me a leg cramp, and I still can't move. You need to rub it for me!" Xiao Chong said, grimacing.

"Ah?" Shuangxi immediately fainted.

Chapter 15 of the Learning Chapter: Practice Makes Perfect .

Yuan Datou's perverted methods were indeed numerous, varied, and endless. Xiao Chong and the others were like pendulums in a wall clock, swinging back and forth until they got tired, and then they got used to it.

He formulated a strict training plan for Xiao Chong and the others. A cruel and harsh plan!

1: Wake up at 5:30 in the morning. Xiao Chong always overslept. If it weren't for his brothers always finding ways to wake him up, he would probably be punished with 200 pull-ups every day. Then they would start their entertainment, which was also arranged: each person would carry 30 kilograms of armed equipment for a 10-kilometer cross-country run and a 10-kilometer swim.

2: 8:00 AM Training: 300 repetitions up and down the hook ladder. 300 round trips through a 30-meter barbed wire fence. This barbed wire is covered in barbs; a slight misstep can result in cuts and lacerations. Although Xiao Chong and his team were very young, it was inevitable that they would make a careless mistake or lapse in concentration during the 300 repetitions. As a result, in the first few days, injuries were frequent, and

wounded special forces soldiers were constantly being pulled out from under the barbed wire.

3: 10:00 AM Gym: This was Xiao Chong and his team's favorite. Although it was also painful inside, at least they wouldn't be exposed to the wind and rain outside. 15-kilogram dumbbells, though heavy, were child's play for them, even with the resistance bands, they were required to do 200 repetitions each time, and the arm strength bar 100 repetitions. However, this was still quite strenuous.

4: 1:30 PM Sunburn Relief Training: Holding an A47 rifle horizontally with a brick suspended from the muzzle by a rope, they had to stand still for 2 hours in the sun. Xiao Chong bitterly thought, why didn't that bastard Yuan Datou just hire a woman to do a striptease in front of the line, and then have them hang bricks on their penises!

5:16:00 1 hour of target shooting training, followed by falling techniques, leaping 1.5 meters high backward and slamming their backs heavily onto the concrete ground. This is life-threatening, and children, even with parental supervision, should not imitate it; it's for adults only! Then came Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), hard qigong, etc.

6: Half an hour after meals, continue running 10 kilometers with a 30 kg weight. Yuan Datou said this helps with digestion.

7: Every 5 days, a Chinese-style triathlon: 10 km run with weight, 10 km swim, 20 km bike ride. Xiao Chong and his eight brothers were basically trained into eight people by Yuan Datou. Xiao Chong's biggest wish was to participate in a triathlon as soon as he got out and win a prize of a million or so to help support his family.

8: Every 7 days, a 25 km cross-country march with a 30 kg weight. This is so unfair! This kind of tiring work should be like a woman's period, only once a month! But it's four times a month – pure menstrual irregularity.

9: Parachute training every 15 days: jumping from 8000 meters – very intense, almost killing Xiao Chong every time. Strangely, his parachute jump score is the highest in the entire S army; we'll see later.

10: Wilderness survival training every 30 days: surviving in the wild for 7 days with only 3 days' worth of food, marching over 1000 kilometers, carrying ammunition and survival supplies, and carrying out exercises such as breakout, counter-breakout, reconnaissance, and cliff climbing. This is more fun because we get to go out, and although it's tiring, the brothers are happy together.

11: Increasing all-around training programs in regular training. For example, from rocket launchers to motorcycles to tanks, they had to master most of the army's equipment. After this, Xiao Chong and his eight men could be considered proficient in all kinds of martial arts.

After three months of this, Xiao Chong and the others had completely adapted and not only did not reject it, but seemed to like it. So Yuan Datou felt unhappy and bored, and raised the requirements for them.

(I) Combat skills training. Each special forces soldier was required to be proficient in various weapons of the army and foreign armies, including various types of grenades, rifle grenades, small-caliber artillery and anti-tank weapons. Hand-to-hand combat skills were also required to be superb. All eight men were able to adapt to urban warfare and night fighting, and were able to search, capture and escape.

(II) Mobility skills training. Driving various vehicles was a given, and being proficient in troubleshooting and using the equipment and weapons on the vehicles was a basic requirement.

(III) Infiltration skills training. Parachuting, climbing, traversing minefields, map reading, and long-distance cross-country marches—the abilities of outstanding special forces soldiers in these areas are comparable to those of athletes in the same profession.

(IV) Reconnaissance and intelligence skills training. This mainly includes various methods of intelligence gathering such as observation and infiltration, eavesdropping, capturing prisoners, interrogating prisoners, and photography. When necessary, coded communication must also be used.

Yuan Datou always chose training locations that were constantly challenging and difficult: towering oceans, towering mountains, boundless plains, treacherous dense forests, dangerous slopes and cliffs... These were all places Yuan Datou liked, just like Xiao Chong and Zhang Fenfang's sex life, which always happened in unexpected places. Xiao Chong and the others resisted Yuan Datou, and the more they resisted, the more excited they became. If they didn't resist, Yuan Datou would become listless and lose his temper. They were supposed to learn to behave, but their leader, Xiao Chong, said they couldn't. If Yuan Datou lost his temper, they would lose theirs too. The best way was to stimulate him, to constantly stimulate him. Only by making him less than human could they have a chance to become superior.

Xiao Chong's estimation was correct. After stimulating Yuan Datou, he no longer used a fixed pattern to train them, but instead used all his strength to torture them. Sometimes it might be in the freezing cold or tropical jungle, sometimes at dawn or dusk, sometimes in a bustling city or a desert island. The "high-intensity, high-difficulty, and high-risk" unconventional and specialized training he advocated became the main way for Xiao Chong and his comrades to complete these missions and defeat the enemy. Thus, in the scorching heat of summer, in the freezing cold of winter, in the dead of night with fierce winds and torrential rain, in every opportunity to cultivate willpower and physique, Yuan Datou's special training forged eight special forces soldiers with steel-like bones, special forces soldiers as tough as robots.

In just six months, everyone changed, regardless of their original skin tone; in the end, there was only one result: tanned dark. Those who were originally healthy indeed became lean and wiry, like monkeys, just as Yuan Datou had said. And those who were already lean appeared even more robust. This truly... It's hard to accept, but it's the reality, and there's nothing that can be done.

Pilot training was Xiao Chong's nightmare. When the pilot explained things to him, he could only nod, whether he understood or not. If he didn't nod, he would tremble, and trembling would naturally make him look bad. So he could only nod frantically to maintain his image of being intelligent, dashing, and indomitable.

Seeing that he understood, the pilot took him for a flight. But this student was strange; he sat in the co-pilot's seat without saying a word, but his body rose and fell with the flight, as if he had become one with it. The pilot was delighted by the student's dedication and praised him even more. He was giving it his all. Was he really focused? He was just nervous, terrified – that's why he looked like that.

Normally, it takes over two weeks of training before a student can fly independently, but the pilot saw how dedicated he was each time and couldn't resist giving him more opportunities. So, after all the theoretical knowledge was covered, he only had him fly once before letting him operate independently.

The small plane's initial runway sprint was relatively normal, but once in the air, he started performing high-difficulty maneuvers: left and right, swerving, rapid ascents, and turns… leaving the pilots on the ground speechless. Was this his first time flying? With such talent, why didn't he become a pilot? You know, flight attendants… They were all incredibly beautiful! And the uniform training was practically every man's dream. The pilot's uniform was noticeably better looking than the special forces uniform.

The plane landed smoothly, which surprised Xiao Chong and drew admiration from everyone.

As Xiao Chong shakily stepped off the plane, everyone rushed forward, picked him up, and tossed him into the air. This guy was truly amazing; he excelled in every training exercise.

Finally, the excited brothers put Xiao Chong down. Already dizzy, he almost vomited from the toss. After spinning around on the ground, he finally regained his footing, but still felt dizzy. If Shuangxi hadn't reacted quickly, he probably would have embarrassed himself on the spot.

"Junior brother, you're really something! Didn't you used to have a fear of flying? How come you're so fierce all of a sudden? That sprint you just did was absolutely amazing, you know? The plane was only ten meters above the ground! I've never admired anyone in my life, except you. I really want to know how you did it!" Shuangxi said with a smile.

"Damn it, how would I know how I did it? Once I took off, I couldn't control my hands and feet. How could I do that? I don't even know how I landed!" Xiaochong said, laughing and crying at the same time.

"Oh my god! This works? What about the pilot? Won't he teach you?" Shuangxi couldn't help but ask.

"Don't even mention that son of a bitch, he's even more timid than me! I only flew up a couple of times before he fainted! He's still not awake!" Xiao said with a mournful face.

"Wow!!!!!!!" Shuangxi couldn't believe such a thing existed.

First time is awkward! Second time is easy! Third time is great! Sure enough, when Xiao Chong piloted the plane for the second time, he actually started to adapt. And often, people who are particularly afraid of a certain thing will perform exceptionally well in that area once they overcome that fear. Just like when Xiao Chong was little, he was particularly afraid of eating carrots, and he would feel like throwing up whenever he ate carrots. But when his mother, Xian Yanchang, promised to take him to Disneyland if he ate carrots once, he ate carrots every day, and he would eat more than a dozen at a time! In the end, no one wanted them. He ate, and he kept asking for more!

It was the same with flying; after his first thrilling and dangerous experience, he suddenly became addicted to piloting planes. The feeling of soaring high in the sky was like becoming a bird, flying freely in the air—an incomparably exhilarating experience. Xiao Chong's piloting skills were the best in the entire team, even the entire S Army. But he still had a fear of flying, a fear of other people's planes. He only trusted the planes he piloted.

Parachuting remained Xiao Chong's nightmare, because he had experienced such a terrifying parachuting once. He could overcome his terrible fear of flying, but he could never overcome parachuting. He felt that from high altitudes... Jumping like that would be suicide! Although the original army had made it clear during training that as long as the operation was done properly, there would be absolutely no problems, and within the target area, they could drop wherever they wanted! But Xiao Chong didn't believe it; he only believed in himself! However, the training was harsh, and there was absolutely no room for negotiation. He could only obey. Unconditionally obey. So every time they parachuted, he was always the second to last.

Why the second to last? Because he had to watch others jump, and only jump if they were alright. But being the last one would also be acceptable. This was absolutely unacceptable, because... If he were last, no one would push him from behind, and without that push, he absolutely couldn't jump. And every time he jumped, whether he was last or first, he was always the first to land. Why? Because he only remembered he had a parachute on his back and a rope to pull it open after he saw a certain distance from the ground. So, Xiao Chong once again won first place in this event, first in the entire S Army! This shows just how close he got to the ground. But what if one day he suddenly forgot to pull the parachute? What would happen? No one dared to imagine.

Shuangxi only likes sniping, and once he locks onto a target, that target has a hard time escaping his encirclement. He seems to be a born sniper, he doesn't need to calculate at all, he relies on intuition, and he doesn't use any of those mixed methods of measuring the target's appearance with the 100-meter unit measurement method. He just relies on intuition, and his intuition is always very accurate. As long as he hits the target, there is no chance of any accidents. But to become a qualified sniper, in addition to all the basic requirements, one must fire at least 15,000 to 20,000 bullets every day. Just from this point alone, you can see how a qualified sniper is trained.

Xiaochong likes it, shooting has always been his forte, yes! Absolutely right! He can fire seven bullets from a 54mm gun in the shortest amount of time, and each shot has a hit rate of over 99%. But in reality, his hit rate is only one-quarter, because he has four women, and after so long, he has only hit one.

"Brother, how can you shoot so fast and so accurately?" Zhu Lide asked enviously, looking at the ring that was riddled with bullet holes.

"Hehe, you really want to know? Then you'll have to shoot more!" Zhang Zhijie said with a lewd grin.

"I've already tried my best!" Zhu Lide said innocently. Zhang Zhijie and Hua Di laughed so hard they couldn't straighten up.

Xiao Chong couldn't help but glare at them, and the two immediately shut their mouths to suppress their laughter. Xiao Chong then said to Zhu Lide, "Actually, I'm not a very good shooter, but I can tell you how I shoot: keep your hand firmly on the target, consciously aim but unconsciously release the bullet, retract your gaze for precise shooting, and extend your gaze for rapid firing. Aim at about 12 centimeters below the target point. The trajectory of a standard bullet is 12 centimeters, and for rapid firing, aim at 20 centimeters below. You can try it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lide immediately picked up the gun and shot at the target ring according to Xiao Chong's method. Sure enough, his score was much better than before, which made him ecstatic. When shooting, he was always very attentive, but he could never quite grasp the essentials and wasted bullets.

In Chapter Sixteen of the "Learning and Conduct" series, the last

sign language for visiting relatives was quickly learned by Xiao Chong and his friends. They even created their own variations.

Adult – Arm extended to the side, hand raised to arm height, palm down. Xiao Chong and his friends added a gesture: covering the penis with the other hand, indicating urination; if the hand is clenched into a fist on the penis, it means the man is having sex!

Child – Arm extended to the side, elbow bent, palm down and fixed at the waist.

Female suspect – Palm facing the chest, fingers spread in a bowl shape, representing a woman's breasts.

Hostage – Hand choking the neck, representing a kidnapped hostage.

Commander – Index, middle, and ring fingers extended side-by-side, placed horizontally on the other arm –

thumb and index finger extended, forming a 90-degree angle.

Automatic weapon – Fingers bent into a claw shape, sweeping up and down in front of the chest, like playing a guitar.

Shotgun – The signal is given by the team member holding the shotgun; simply point to your weapon with your index finger.

Doorway – Use your index finger to make an open rectangle gesture from bottom to top, left to bottom, representing the shape of a doorway.

Window – Use your index finger to make a closed rectangle gesture from bottom to top, right to bottom to left.

Hear – Raise your arm, fingers closed, thumb and index finger touching your ear.

There – Extend your arm and point your index finger at the target.

Cover me – Raise your hand above your head, bend your elbow, palm covering the top of your head.

Fire tear gas – Spread your fingers into a bowl shape and cover your nose and mouth.

Assemble – Make a fist with your wrist, raise it above your head, index finger pointing vertically upwards, and slowly make a circular motion.

Advance – Bend your elbow, forearm pointing to the ground, fingers closed, and swing from behind to front.

Understood – Raise your wrist to face height and make a fist, palm facing the signaler.

Sniper spotted—fingers bent, as if holding a cylindrical object in front of the eyes, like a sniper observing through a scope.

Quickly—hand clenched into a fist, then elbow bent, arm raised and moved up and down.

Sighted—palm slightly bent and pointing towards the receiving team member, fingers tightly closed, palm horizontally placed on forehead.

Check ammunition—holding a magazine, raised to head height, slowly swinging from side to side.

Towards—arm extended, fingers tightly closed, then swinging towards the body.

Instructions received—hand extended, thumb and forefinger rounded, similar to the "o" sign.

Eavesdropping was their favorite training subject, because everyone has some degree of curiosity, and prying into others' privacy is often a hobby of lonely individuals or psychopaths! And Xiao Chong and his group included such people.

During a major relocation of the female soldiers' dormitory, Xiao Chong and others were asked by Yuan Jun to help. Xiao Chong, who was lonely to the point of madness and had a slightly twisted mind, successfully hid a tiny object under the bed board in the female soldiers' dormitory, in a place where no one would find it.

That night, the group of guys took out their radio, slowly tuned in, and then began eavesdropping on the secrets of the female soldiers' dormitory. They learned shocking secrets: so-and-so was still a virgin, so-and-so had a high sex drive, so-and-so was in love with a certain officer, and so-and-so had irregular periods, among others.

This kind of entertainment almost made the bunkmates sleeping on the top bunks break their beds! They didn't listen to this program for long, only a little over a month, for no other reason than a major cleaning.

The female soldiers, being special forces, couldn't have been unaware of this. They collectively wrote to Yuan Jun, demanding an explanation.

Yuan Jun, a shrewd man, comforted the female soldiers and then began to clarify: no male soldiers were allowed into the female soldiers' dormitory, except for one time during a major dormitory relocation when he led Xiao Chong and others to move their belongings in. Only they could have done such a thing. Yuan Jun was furious. These bastards were utterly lawless.

Although it was something he had always wanted to do but never dared to, he would never let them off easily.

Yuan Jun summoned the eight men and interrogated them one by one, but they all insisted they knew nothing about the matter. Seeing their feigned ignorance, Yuan Jun knew they had already fabricated their stories. Lacking concrete evidence, he had no choice but to give up. However, during the subsequent training, he added many extra tasks for them until Xiao Chong and his brothers could no longer endure it. Only then did someone confess and admit their guilt. That person was none other than Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong received a major demerit, was publicly reprimanded by the entire army, made a self-criticism, and was confined for a month.

On the day Xiao Chong was released, his brothers came to pick him up and swore a blood oath, promising to go through wind and rain, even fire and water, for Xiao Chong if he ever needed their help. Xiao Chong was overjoyed, almost to the point of wanting to die. A month without training, good food and lodging, and others willing to risk their lives for him—the more times he did this, the better it would be, even though the solitary confinement cell was incredibly lonely.

Military life was monotonous and dull, but Xiao Chong and the others had grown accustomed to it. They spent their days training and sleeping, occasionally thinking of their families.

Qi Fei'er's letters kept arriving; Xiao Chong knew his son had been born, but he still hadn't seen him. Thinking of him made his throat tighten. He longed to see his son, hold him, play with him, or even just watch him without doing anything. But without leave to visit his family, his wish remained unfulfilled, and he could only channel this suppressed longing onto the training field.

Finally, he was a father. A burden he'd never felt before suddenly weighed on his shoulders. He knew he needed to mature, to grow up; otherwise, he couldn't fulfill the role of a father. He wanted to set a good example for his son, just as his father had molded him into a doctor. Although he was now a special forces soldier, in his heart, he still considered himself a doctor. The military was merely a place for him to learn his skills, not his final resting place; he would eventually leave.

Susan often wrote, telling him about the herb cultivation base and expressing her longing since they parted. Her words contained much helplessness, but even more so, longing.

If Susan's letters were subtle, then Sun Shanshan's letters were blatant, a mix of scolding and seduction, saying things like, "When are you coming back, you son of a bitch? Don't you miss your grandma? Come back soon, grandma will keep you company every day and make you feel comfortable."

Every time Xiao Chong finished reading her letters, he couldn't help but want to find his five fingers (a euphemism for masturbation), while Shuangxi, who slept on the lower bunk, always complained that the dust falling from above was too much.

A year of military life had turned Xiao Chong and his three brothers into men of steel. The military is indeed a place that forges character, and the special forces are even stronger, forging these greenhorn lads into steely, resolute individuals.

A year later, Xiao Chong and his friends requested to retire, but Yuan Jun laughed and said, "Do you think the military is like a hair salon on the street, where you can come and go as you please? I've made it clear to you, getting in isn't easy, and getting out is even harder."

Xiao Chong said, "You know our hearts aren't here, aren't you wasting our time?"

Yuan Jun, however, didn't care and simply kicked them out. But he was very lenient and granted them their first family leave, though it might also be their last. Because Yuan Datou is a freak.

Xiao Chong and the others discussed whether to just leave and never come back. But desertion would make them a laughingstock for life, and it's a cowardly act, which they were ashamed of. So they decided to wait and see who could outlast whom. But going home was the most important thing right now. The eight of them casually packed their belongings, changed into civilian clothes, and left the military base.

The D Group Army's S Battalion was located in a rather remote area, at least 250 kilometers from the county town. The county town was several dozen kilometers from the city's train station. This distance wasn't far for them; compared to a march, it was nothing. A little effort and sweat would suffice. But why bother if they had a vehicle? So, they squeezed onto a dilapidated bus.

The

bus was packed to the brim, with barely any room to stand. The unscrupulous driver seemed to have bought his license for three thousand yuan, completely oblivious to the concept of overloading. Xiao Chong and the others thought that if he could, the driver would pile people up and load them onto the bus.

Complaining was useless; it was the only bus available, and if they missed it, they'd have to wait until tomorrow. Xiao Chong and the others endured it; in fact, that was all they could do. Were they supposed to walk? After

the bus had been traveling for a while, the driver saw a hoodlum-looking man waving at the bus ahead, so he stopped and shoved another passenger onto it. Xiao Chong and the others decided that if the driver took on another passenger, they would beat him up and take him to the traffic police station.

The hoodlum-looking man had only been on the bus for a short while when he loudly asked, "Driver, how long until we get to the county town?"

"About three hours!" the driver replied without turning his head.

"Sigh! So long! A long, lonely journey!" the hoodlum said, pulling out a red and a black pencil and a piece of paper folded in half. He then

muttered to himself, "Such a long time, might as well play some games to relieve the boredom."

"Liar!" The word immediately popped into Xiao Chong and the others' minds upon hearing his words.

After pulling out his things, the scoundrel said to the people in the car, "Hey, I bet you're all bored. How about we play a little game?"

A businessman-looking man, who seemed tired of the ride and looking for something to pass the time, couldn't help but ask, "How do we play?"

"It's simple," the scoundrel said. "I'll slip this piece of paper over one of the pencils, then roll them up together. If you can guess the color of the pencil I slipped it over, I'll give you a hundred yuan!" This kind of scam is shameful! It's outrageous! Why not learn something more sophisticated? Huang Zhenzhong and Chen Shisan immediately wanted to beat the guy up, but Xiao Chong stopped them, signaling them to keep quiet and watch the show first. Anyway, just as the scoundrel said, the road is long and the journey is lonely!

The shrewd merchant immediately asked, "What if I lose?"

The scoundrel rolled his eyes and said, "Are you stupid? If you lose, do you think I'd give you a hundred? Of course, you'd give me one!"

"Tch!" The merchant waved his hand dismissively, clearly not falling for his trick.

Seeing no one respond, the scoundrel persisted, shouting loudly, "Play games! Who wants to play games? Come on, let's play games!"

"What's all the fuss about? Can't a person get some sleep?" A burly man with thick eyebrows and large eyes, who looked like a simpleton, said unhappily

, half-heartedly. "Hehe, brother, sorry to bother you. What's the point of sleeping? Let's play a game!" the scoundrel urged earnestly.

"Play games? What kind of games?" the simpleton asked, unable to contain his curiosity.

"It's simple. I'll put this paper over a pencil and roll it up. If you can guess the color of the pencil I've put it over, you win. How about we each win or lose a hundred?" the hooligan tempted.

The merchant quickly waved to the big, simple-minded man, signaling him not to fall for it, but the man seemed oblivious, saying, "So easy? Fuck, let's go! Who's afraid of who?"

At this moment, Zhao Xiaogang and Zhu Lide were about to rush forward to stop the scam, but Xiao Chong still gestured for them to be quiet, and used a special forces hand gesture to give them a secret signal: The best is yet to come, keep watching!

The hooligan put the paper over a red pencil, then tied it together with the black one, and asked the big, simple-minded man, "Guess what color it is?"

"You son of a bitch, isn't this hundred dollars practically a free gift? Red. Absolutely red!" the big, simple-minded man said with absolute certainty.

The hoodlum chuckled and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure! If I didn't even have this much sense, how could I survive in this world!" the big, simple-minded guy patted his chest, acting as if he were incredibly clever, though to others he looked even more foolish.

"You won't regret it?" the hoodlum deliberately added fuel to the fire.

Before the big, simple-minded guy could answer, a farmer-looking man with a turban stood up and said to him, "Brother, stop playing! You'll lose!"

"Damn it, I'll lose, I saw it with my own eyes, I'll lose! Here, a hundred bucks, open it and see!" Ignoring all advice, the big, simple-minded guy reached into his underwear, pulled out a wad of cash from a hidden pocket, crumpled out a bill, and waved it in his hand. It seemed this big, simple-minded guy was usually quite clever, but what had gotten into him today, making him so determined to fight over money? Was he just being stubborn? Definitely, everyone on the bus thought so! But Xiao Chong had doubts. He felt things weren't so simple, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

The big, simple-minded guy's stubbornness made everyone on the bus want to beat him up and make him realize his mistake. But he was determined to go his own way, and no one could help him! Like someone who's tired of living, even if you save them a thousand or ten thousand times, they'll still die!

The scoundrel slowly untied the note. No one was surprised except the big guy; the note landed on a black pencil.

"How is this possible? How could this happen? No, do it again! I didn't see it clearly!" the big guy shouted.

"One more time is fine, but you have to pay this time!" the scoundrel said smugly.

"Fine, I'll pay! Let's do it again! This time I'll bet two hundred!" The big guy's stubbornness really kicked in; he threw the hundred-yuan note at the scoundrel.

"Okay. Great, let's do it again!" the scoundrel said, preparing to put the note on the pencil.

Another man on the bus, dressed in some kind of uniform who looked like a civil servant, couldn't help but say to the scoundrel, "Hey, brother, just give it a little, everyone on the bus is watching!"

"Yeah, yeah!" the others on the bus chimed in.

Seeing that he had angered everyone, the scoundrel, not wanting to go too far, said, "Sigh, this is pointless, really pointless! Driver, stop the bus!"

The bus stopped, and the scoundrel swaggered off. Xiao Chong and his brothers, not wanting to tolerate such arrogance, were about to rush forward and tear him to pieces, but Xiao Chong stopped them again, whispering in their ears: "There's still a show to watch, it's not too late to act after you've seen it!" "

The brothers had no choice but to watch him slip away. There are happy people everywhere in the world, why… (Sorry, I spaced out. It's a single's love song, it's pretty good!)

The bus continued on its way. The big, clumsy guy looked at the note and pencil left by the scoundrel, seemingly increasingly resentful. His face flushed red, and he finally stood up and said to the civil servant, 'Who told you to meddle in my business? I'll definitely beat him in the second round, it's all your fault!'

This guy is hopeless. It's strange that there are people like this, biting the hand that feeds them.

'Damn it! I meant well, and now I'm the one meddling. Come on, I'll play with you. I'll make sure you lose so much you won't know why flowers are so red!' The civil servant seemed very angry.

'Fine, I'll bet five hundred this time!'" "That big oaf is really stupid.

The civil servant took the slip of paper and pencil from the big oaf, then slipped the paper onto a black round-tipped pen, then folded the other one over and rolled it up tightly! His practiced movements made it seem like he was a professional at this.

"Black! Damn it, I saw it right, black! This time it's definitely not wrong!" The big oaf's smile was truly foolish; he seemed to have already gotten the five hundred yuan from the civil servant.

"Hehe, I'll make you admit defeat this time!" "The civil servant slowly untied the slip of paper, and the big, simpleton was dumbfounded again. The slip of paper was wrapped around a red pen.

After four or five rounds, the big, simpleton had lost all the money in his hand. In a fit of rage, he pulled out a dirty, smelly snakeskin bag from under his seat, which looked like it was used to store pickled vegetables. From it, he pulled out twenty stacks of brand-new RMB, roughly estimated at 200,000 yuan. Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw so much money. Good heavens, this big, simpleton really dared to hide it. 200,000 yuan in such a bag. But the most dangerous place is the safest. Everyone understands this principle. It seems this big, simpleton was smart all the time but foolish for a moment.

"Come on, who wants to gamble? Come on, I have plenty of money. I don't believe in this nonsense!" the big, simpleton shouted to everyone on the bus, proving how incredibly stupid he was.

"I'll bet!" said the businessman, obviously a shrewd businessman!

"Me too!" said the farmer, it seems even honest people have greed. It was destined!

"I'm definitely coming!" "That civil servant said, 'Needless to say, which public official isn't corrupt? Even Aunt Chen from the neighborhood committee would steal two sweet potatoes from someone inspecting the building's cleanliness, let alone him.

' 'I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it!' Everyone in the car shouted. Even Zhu Lide, Zhang Zhijie, and others wanted to go and try. Who wouldn't want to make money? Only a fool wouldn't. But if any of these people were really that smart, Xiao Chong grabbed his brothers and hit them hard on the head several times, whispering, 'You'll find out why I hit you in a moment. Now shut up and watch quietly. This is something Yuan Datou couldn't teach!'

Everyone agreed that the big fool should put the paper on the pencil. The big fool was happy to do it, but it took him a while to finally put the paper on the red pencil and then haphazardly rolled it up.

'Red! Red! Red!'" "Everyone placed bets; they could see everything clearly, so everyone placed heavy bets. The seat cushion that had been deliberately cleared out had at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan on it. Looks like everyone on this bus is rich. Xiao Chong and his friends didn't even have 1,000 yuan combined.

After placing their bets, the big guy shakily opened the slip of paper, as if it were a lot of work. But when the slip was fully opened, everyone was dumbfounded, even the driver, who had bet 2,000 yuan—the bus fare!

The big guy opened it, and the slip was wrapped around a black pencil. This time it was completely unexpected; no one could react to what was happening.

'Haha, I won! Even if he calls me stupid, I'll treat him to pineapple!'" The big, simple-minded man sang a nursery rhyme with childlike joy, his foolishness truly befitting a fool.

The people on the bus couldn't help but wonder, was he genuinely foolish or just pretending? Would a genuine fool act like this? Even a fake fool wouldn't act like this! But they couldn't care less; they wanted to gamble. Only by gambling again could they win back their lost money. But what if they lost this time? Would they gamble again until they lost everything? How do gamblers come to be? Gamblers evolve from those who are greedy for small gains and opportunistic. Many people understand this principle, but when truly faced with it, everyone forgets it completely.

At this moment, Xiao Chong walked over to the driver and whispered a few words to him. The driver nodded gratefully to Xiao Chong. Xiao Chong gestured for him to keep quiet and continue driving.

As a result, people lost again. Some lost everything this time, while those who hadn't lost all their money gambled again until they were broke. After losing everything, everyone felt like they had been tricked and tried to persuade those who hadn't lost all their money to stop, but these people became another version of the foolish big guy. Life is cyclical; roles are played in turn.

In the end, the foolish big guy won. He won more money than he had in the snakeskin bag. Xiao Chong couldn't believe that these seemingly ordinary people had so much money. Truly, appearances can be deceiving. It was a very simple scam. The scoundrel was a smokescreen, only there to highlight the foolish big guy's stupidity so he could leave successfully! The other three—the civil servant, the farmer, and the businessman—were all shills, supporting characters, mainly playing a subversive role, pushing the foolish big guy to the pinnacle of stupidity. The farmer's kindness, the merchant's cunning, and the civil servant's competitiveness—each element skillfully manipulated the hearts of the passengers, gradually lowering their guard and making them consider these three traitors as their own. The person who devised this scam was undoubtedly a genius—and this doesn't mean they were born stupid!

"Hehe, thanks for the support, everyone. I've reached my stop, I'm getting off now. Driver, stop the bus!" the big, simple-minded man said, standing up. The bus didn't stop, but continued for about a kilometer until it reached a wide, deserted area.

The big, simple-minded man didn't yell or curse; he seemed tolerant and understanding, because he clearly remembered that the driver had also paid two thousand yuan. When he got off, the merchant, the farmer, the civil servant, and five other people followed.

The big, simple-minded man got off from the front door, but eight more people followed from the back door, quickly surrounding him and his group of nine.
