Qi Yue pressed the timer. It was 57 seconds. There were no white dots on his body, proving that he had not been hit.
Xiao Jing stood back in the queue and maintained her modest smile.
Lin Qi couldn't help but give Xiao Jing a thumbs up. He lowered his voice and said, "Very good. I think even the instructor has a whole new level of respect for you."
Xiao Jing suppressed his hand and grinned, revealing her white teeth. She said, "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
Lin Qi smiled and walked out of the queue.
Lian Qing widened his eyes in disbelief. Was the unrestrained and unrestrained walking and unafraid of the bullets really that dainty Second Lieutenant Xiao of his family? … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Xiao Jing was aware that someone was spying on her. She turned her head and their eyes met.
Lian Qing couldn't help but sniff at his nose. He suddenly had the feeling that a child he married was finally feeling proud at his in-laws' place.
Xiao Jing could see the strange thoughts in his eyes. Based on her understanding of him, this guy's brain circuitry was different from a normal person's. At this time, he was definitely grateful that his daughter had finally turned over after getting married.
He touched his chest and nodded with satisfaction.
Xiao Jing turned her head and ignored him. She didn't want to give him a chance to get excited just by thinking about it.
The sun was still shining brightly, as a SUV entered the camp quietly.
Inside the car, a person poked his head out to see if there were any random people around. After confirming that there were no idlers around, he covered his face with one hand and hurriedly ran into the building.
Shen Chengfeng stared expressionlessly at Xiao Ye, who came uninvited, and examined him from top to bottom. Finally, he cast his gaze onto Xiao Ye's colorful face.
Xiao Ye's eyes were bruised at the corner of his eyes and his mouth was red and swollen. His entire face could be described as abstract painting. It was the kind of casual paint that one could easily apply.
Shen Chengfeng rested his hands on his chin and stared at Xiao Ye. He was so embarrassed that he started to turn his head.
Xiao Ye grunted coldly and sat on the chair, crossing his legs high up. He looked like an old man asking for money.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Shen Chengfeng retracted his gaze and resumed his official duties.
Xiao Ye gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Don't you feel a little guilty?"
Shen Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and shot him a glance. His voice was calm and indifferent, "It seems like you should ask the person who beat you up about this."
"Who do I owe all this to?!"
Xiao Ye took a deep breath, trying his best to remain calm.
"Judging from the extent of the violence, it must have been the Third Young Master of the Xiao family."
"No, not him!"
"It's Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong, the smiling man."
"It is hard to imagine that the always gentle and refined second young master of the Xiao family would pick up his sleeves and fight at some point."
"He is a despicable scumbag that shamelessly assaulted me."
Xiao Ye covered the corner of his mouth. He was so excited that he forgot about his injuries. He pinched his mouth and grimaced in pain.
Shen Chengfeng intertwined his fingers and said, "I can imagine how badly you were beaten up. But General Xiao Hong seems to have showed mercy. Otherwise, I think you should be in emergency treatment at the hospital!"
"Enough, stop being sarcastic, you know why I was beaten."
Xiao Ye roared.
Shen Chengfeng stared at him as if to say, "I don't know. What does this have to do with me? You getting beaten up yourself is purely your own fault."
Xiao Ye closed his eyes and slammed the table, "What did you do to my fourth brother?"
Why did all of them suddenly rush over to gang up on me?
"Why did you do such a bad thing and beat me up?"
"Maybe they know they can't beat me."
Shen Chengfeng spoke casually, as if he was saying something common to people at home.
Xiao Ye's fist landed on the table and the light fell, the veins popping out.
"Is there something else?"
Shen Chengfeng asked again.
Xiao Ye sat on the chair, his hands folded in front of his chest. He coldly said, "My second brother gave me a death order. If I don't bring Xiao Jing back today, I'll lie down and go back."
"I can make you lie out."
Xiao Ye gritted his teeth, "Just lend Xiao Jing to me for two days. I will bring her back in two days."
"Since when did my soldier become a toy that can be taken away by your Xiao family? If you want to send it back, then send it back?"
"Don't force me."
"You were the one who introduced Xiao Jing to me, you were the one who told me that she was special, and I also knew what was special about her. Since I know about her, I have to study her properly, and perhaps she will be very important to me."
Xiao Ye held his forehead with one hand. He had never expected that he would one day be surrounded by those fellows from home. This was a very small matter, sending Xiao Jing to Shen Chengfeng was something she was immune to. Perhaps the two of them would bump into each other while they were chatting, and with Shen Chengfeng's ability, even if his identity was exposed, this guy could still protect her by himself.
But now, she was completely satisfied. What about herself?
For their sake, he was so heartless that he didn't hesitate to offend the entire family. In the end, he would fall into some sort of predicament. Not only was his face swollen, he would also suffer mental devastation at any time!
Shen Chengfeng closed the file and looked at Xiao Ye, who seemed to be muttering to himself. He lowered his voice and said, "If General Xiao Ye doesn't have anything else to say, please go back."
"You're obviously going to destroy the bridge after crossing the river."
"Is that so?"
Shen Chengfeng asked.
Xiao Ye slammed the table, "I don't care, today I will bring Xiao Jing back no matter what."
"Do you think you can take her with you?"
Shen Chengfeng looked at the other party with a pair of eyes. He took off his gloves and casually picked up a piece of paper. In the blink of an eye, the originally flat A4 paper instantly turned into ashes.
Xiao Ye frowned, "Are you threatening me?"
"Yes."
A succinct reply.
Xiao Ye clenched his fists tightly, staring unblinkingly at the man across the table from him. In his silence, the killing intent around him intensified.
Shen Chengfeng stared back at him without any hesitation. The two pairs of eyes stared at each other. The entire room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Xiao Ye closed his eyes and could not help but rub them with tears. He snorted coldly and said, "Your father won't bother with you, your father will go find Xiao Jing."
"Now that she's in the training area, there should be at least forty to fifty people inside and outside. The magnificent general Xiao Ye of the Whale Wolf Team has been seen with such a wonderful face. I think that with our Iron Eagle Squadron's Jiang Xin's big mouth, the three armies will know in less than two hours!"
Shen Chengfeng said unhurriedly.
Xiao Ye's feet suddenly stopped. He glanced at the man who was making sarcastic remarks and said, "I'll go wait in the dorm."
Shen Chengfeng did not obstruct him. When he heard the sound of the office door opening and closing, he closed his notebook, stood up and walked towards the entrance.
As soon as Xiao Ye walked out of the building, he felt that something was amiss. When had this Shen Yan ever thought of him?
In the training area, the whole situation was polarised.
On one side was the flawless elites of the Special Forces, and on the other side was the unkempt new recruits.
Qi Yue held his forehead with one hand and considered whether he should give them some water. After all, he didn't like such results.
"Xiao Jing, come out."
With that, everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
Shen Chengfeng was wearing a thick military uniform as usual. His body was exuding a cold aura, which caused most of the newbies who came to admire him to want to take a look but they did not dare to.
When Xiao Jing heard him call her name, she took a big step forward and straightened her body, replying, "Yes, captain."
"Come with me."
Shen Chengfeng turned around and left.
Xiao Jing followed closely behind.
The two of them walked to the parking area.
"Get in."
Shen Chengfeng opened the driver's door, spat out two words and got in.
Xiao Jing didn't understand why he did this, but she didn't think too much and sat down.
"Buckle your seat belt."
With that, Shen Chengfeng stepped on the gas pedal and the car sped off.
In the car, Xiao Jing glanced at the silent captain from the corner of her eyes from time to time. She hesitated to ask him where he was planning to take her.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Shen Chengfeng said.
Xiao Jing wrapped one hand around the seat belt and whispered, "Captain, where are you taking me?"
"A place for you."
Xiao Jing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the captain couldn't bear the pressure and was prepared to throw her back to the Xiao family?
Shen Chengfeng landed on the steering wheel with one hand and glanced at the figure that suddenly fell silent. He then said, "Last time, I came back in a sorry state. I was thinking about how you could successfully complete this field training without my protection."
Hearing this, Xiao Jing's tense heart gradually relaxed. As long as she wasn't thrown back to the Xiao family, she would still dare to charge into Flame Volcano.
"There are daily necessities at the back of the car. Carefully take a inventory. This time, it will be entirely up to you."
"Yes, captain"
Xiao Jing took the backpack from the back seat. Inside were a knife, a gun, some food, and a sleeping bag.
"This collective training will last for three days. After three days, I will come to pick you up. If you feel that you can't hold on any longer, you can come out of the mountain on your own. No one will stop you."
"Yes, captain"
Xiao Jing thought for a moment and deliberately lowered her voice. She asked, "Captain, are you worried that your performance in the Special Forces joint competition in a month's time will be poor, so you arranged this training for yourself?"
"Based on your performance last night, I think it's necessary to arrange for you to be alone in the next few days so that you won't secretly climb into my bed again!"
"Don't think I don't know. At any time, I'm more awake than anyone else. You let me down last night."
Xiao Jing looked at her own palm and couldn't help but bend her fingers. She was hesitating whether she should use her punching fist that was like a sandbag to choose to perish together with her captain.
Shen Chengfeng stepped on the brakes and looked at the lush forest in front of the car. His voice sounded leisurely, "Since I already know your identity, I will have to choose to avoid arousing suspicion."
"I promise I won't let a third person know."
Xiao Jing solemnly stuck up three fingers. Originally, she wanted to swear an oath to prove her determination, but after thinking about it carefully, she still had to leave a path of retreat for herself.
Shen Chengfeng was too lazy to bother with her untrustworthy words. He opened the car door and stood at the entrance of the forest.
Xiao Jing walked down with a bag on her back. The sunlight shined on her body, causing her to involuntarily pull on her backpack.
"If you disappoint me again this time, I will consider ending your Special Forces career sooner or not."
"Captain —"
Next month's competition, your opponents are not these wild creatures that don't have any powerful attacks. They are the most outstanding, most powerful elites selected from all the troops, and every single one of them is a powerhouse of one against one hundred.
Xiao Jing straightened her body, her voice sonorous and forceful. She replied, "Captain, I will definitely make you look at me in a new light."
"In terms of eloquence, you truly deserve to be number one."
A basin of cold water was poured down, Xiao Jing couldn't help but smile. Praising me, will it cause you to have sores?
Shen Chengfeng sat back in the car and slammed the door before saying, "You can enter the mountain now."
Xiao Jing watched as the car disappeared without a trace after turning around. She picked up her backpack and cautiously walked into this mountain range known as the Saibei Mountain Range, which was known for its natural hell.
The cold air in the mountain was especially cold. The sunlight was sparse as it passed through the gaps between the trees. Xiao Jing lifted her foot to step on the dead tree branches and slowly walked forward.
"Gu gu."
The bird flapped its wings and soared freely. A green snake slithered across the treetops, letting out rustling sounds.
Xiao Jing pushed aside the grass, just after circling around a dead tree, she alertly discovered something attacking her from behind. She calmly turned around, and a black, strong, and hostile wild boar was eyeing her with its hooves, digging at the soil.
"Damn you."
Xiao Jing quickly carried a tree and climbed up with both hands and feet.
The wild boar smashed its head against the tree trunk and let out a sad howl.
Xiao Jing was dumbstruck. She couldn't believe what she saw when she saw a herd of roughly three hundred kilograms of wild boars.
One after another, she rammed into the trees. Xiao Jing felt her body moving downwards, almost to the point where she couldn't grab hold of it.
The wild boars could travel at speeds of more than a hundred kilometers per hour. With her thin arms and thin legs, it would be difficult for her to avoid the pursuit of these boars, but if she attacked them head-on, she might not need the captain to collect her corpse.
Hehe, I'm dead today.
BOOM! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!
The tree shook violently.
Xiao Jing saw that these guys with negative IQ were still unwilling to give up, so she carefully continued to climb up. She tried to grab onto a vine.
It was clearly an extremely cold forest deep in the mountains, Xiao Jing was forcefully forced to sweat from the sweat all over her body.
Sweat trickled down her forehead as she tightly held onto the vine. She then kicked the tree trunk, borrowing the force of the kick to propel her into the sky.
"Hahaha, foolish fellows, come chase me."
The wild boars were originally surrounding the trees. When they saw the figure above their heads, they all changed directions and continued to attack.
Xiao Jing jumped onto another tree and continued to borrow the power of the tree vines to fly higher and further. Finally, with a dong sound, she fell into the stream.
The water splashed on his face, chilling him.
The horde of wild boars suddenly stopped their pursuit and stood still, digging the ground. In the end, all the wild boars scattered in an uproar.
Xiao Jing wiped away the droplets of water on her face. Suddenly, a chill ran down her back. She seemed to be very familiar with this place, as if she remembered that something would pop out of the water with a head.
She twisted her neck stiffly, and sunlight fell brightly on the surface of the water. It was as if a piece of gold had broken off from the entire water. Along with the flow of the stream, the shimmering golden light shone brilliantly.
Xiao Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Within the golden light, her beautiful, flower-like face seemed to be looking at her with an unfriendly expression.
"Gulugulu."
The crocodile poked its head out and the water began to bubble.
Xiao Jing's body involuntarily began to swim backwards for a bit. After swimming for a bit, she tried her best to remain silent.
"Gulugulu."
The bubble began to break, and in the next moment, the crocodile swished its tail.
Xiao Jing no longer hesitated. She turned around, and with her fastest speed, she rolled and crawled her way to the shore.
The crocodile spat its blisters at her, then retreated quietly, as if it hadn't woken up yet.
Xiao Jing still had a lingering fear as she leaned against the shore. She panted for breath while staring at the big fellow who only waved its tail. Why was it not the least bit enthusiastic about her?
When he thought about the last time he had yet to go into the water, it had eagerly chased after him, wanting to have a close contact with him.
What's wrong with this fellow today?
He had clearly seen his old and familiar partner, but why did he hide back when he had just made a mistake?
Xiao Jing smacked her lips. As expected, she was very strong. She was so strong that even crocodiles would submit to her when they saw her.
She grinned and threw back her head to laugh. "Hahaha."
"Gulugulu."
The crocodile popped its head out of the water again.
Xiao Jing quickly covered her mouth, took out a compressed biscuit from her backpack, and swallowed it dryly. She noticed that the guy in the stream was blowing bubbles at her, so she threw a piece at him.
"Crash."
The biscuit landed on the crocodile's nose, its pupils contracted, and it hid in the water.
