Chapter 45: Devil Training (Part 1)

  "Honk, honk, honk......" After dinner, Lin Ao Feng and others had just returned to the barracks and hadn't even had time to chat with the other four people when a urgent whistle sounded.

  Lin Ao Feng was the first to jump up from his chair, opening the door and rushing out. Not long after, the other students also arrived at the assembly point one after another. After the team was organized, Assistant Instructor Kamedes waved his hand, and two soldiers carrying a stack of new clothes walked out from the side, distributing them to each person according to their size.

  Looking at the trainees with puzzled expressions, Rommel seemed to be gloating, his mouth slightly curled up, and he chuckled lightly as he walked forward slowly. "This is our military school's newly opened training base, and you are the first batch of guests. From now on, you don't have names, only numbers. Here, you can only wear the clothes that were just issued to you, and other clothes are strictly prohibited. Also, I want to remind you that when you enrolled, each and every one of you signed a life-and-death contract. Therefore, it's best not to consider yourselves human beings here. If you get injured during training, it's your own bad luck; if you die, it means you're reporting to God ahead of schedule. Alright! I won't waste any more words. You have three minutes to change into your uniforms. Three minutes later, assemble, and we'll begin formal training!"

  Before they knew it, the daytime training had come to an end, and the exhausted trainees supported each other as they made their way back to the barracks.

  "Lin, I'm really so envious of you! I didn't expect you to be so perverted, how can your physical strength be so good." Tony said weakly.

  "Really!" Johnson chimed in: "Lin, aren't Chinese people generally physically weak? How come you're so good?! Is there some secret?"

  Lin Ao Feng replied: "There is no free lunch in this world. My physical strength was also trained."

  Just then, a soldier wearing a red armband walked in from outside, posted a big-character poster on the wall of the barracks and walked out. Lin Ao-feng, the only one who could still move freely in the whole barracks, walked up to the poster and before he had time to read what was written on it, Johansson shouted: "Lin, what's that?!"

  Lin Ao Feng replied: "It's our next training schedule! Everyone, get ready to shed a layer of skin!"

  The people sitting in the chairs looked at each other, and Dominick limped over to Lin Ao's side, putting one hand on his shoulder. He read from the large poster on the wall: "1. Get up at 5:00 AM, carry equipment for a 5km cross-country run; 2. At 8:00 AM, train on the ladder, going up and down 300 times, crossing the 30m barbed wire fence 300 times; 3. At 10:00 AM, do push-ups, each person doing 300; 4. At 1:30 PM, conduct anti-freeze physical training and combat training; 5. At 3:30 PM, conduct live-fire shooting training for one hour; 6. At 4:30 PM, continue with a 20km armed cross-country run; 7. Every three days, conduct fully-armed swimming training; 8. Every five days, conduct 2km armed cross-country and 2km swimming; 9. Every seven days, conduct 250km loaded marching training with a 30kg load; 10. Every thirty days, conduct wilderness survival training. Lin, can you help me continue reading?"

  Lin Ao Feng smiled slightly and said, "No need to read on! The following content is all about punishment. You all just remember one thing, whatever the teacher thinks is wrong is wrong, don't argue or explain. Because the severity of the punishment is decided by the instructor."

  At half past eight in the evening, the lights-out signal sounded. The originally brightly lit barracks instantly fell into darkness.

  "Rommel, are you really going to let them sleep peacefully?" asked Kamradt, who was resting in the office and handed Rommel a cup of red wine.

  Long Mei'er took the wine cup, took a sip and said: "Why not?! My pleasure is built on their suffering, the more they suffer, the happier I am. This can also be considered as my second meeting gift to them."

  "My God!" Kamedes slapped his forehead in exasperation, compromising: "Alright! You're the head instructor, you have the final say! I'll cooperate with you!"

  "Alright old chap!" Rommel and Kamelides exchanged a very tacit glance, and burst out laughing simultaneously.

  At midnight, the new recruits who had been exhausted all day entered dreamland, searching for their goddess in bed. Just as they were about to make a move, the door of the barracks was opened and several black tear gas canisters were thrown inside. A grayish-black smoke instantly enveloped the entire barracks, followed by a series of coughing sounds. Before long, all five recruits from the barracks ran out.

  Looking at the disheveled and still coughing recruits, Rommel's face suddenly darkened, bellowing: "If there were really enemy sneaking up on you, all of you would be dead by now. To make you remember tonight's lesson, each of you will run twenty laps around the drill ground (one lap is one kilometer). When you finish running, then you can go back to sleep. If it takes until five o'clock, then there's no need for you to sleep!" Seeing that the recruits were still unmoved, Rommel's anger was immediately ignited, grabbing a submachine gun from the soldier behind him and firing a burst into the ground, bellowing: "Get moving, all of you!"

  Under the overwhelming pressure of Rommel's powerful aura, the students exchanged a glance with each other and turned to run towards the playground. Just then, Kamelos, who had been standing behind Rommel all along, spoke up: "Rommel, have you noticed that there is an oddball among these students?"

  "Ah, I've already taken notice of him," said Rommel with a nod. "After observing him for the past few days at school, this afternoon I intentionally increased the intensity of the training to see if he could withstand it. But I didn't expect that his physical strength would surpass even us Westerners. If all Chinese soldiers had bodies like his, they'd be invincible in the world."

  Kamide replied with a smile: "China is now the most chaotic country in Asia, and many people are still struggling to make ends meet. However, I strongly agree with Napoleon's words 'China is a sleeping lion, once awakened it will shock the world.' Originally, I didn't quite believe it, but from Lin Ao Feng, I saw the vigorous vitality of China's future."

  One lap, two laps, three laps...... Lin Ao Feng was like venting his discontent, running faster and faster, surpassing other classmates in the blink of an eye by two laps.

  "Longmire, it seems this little guy is quite dissatisfied with you!" Carmides said with a smile.

  Lomel glanced at Carmades and said, "This is now my territory, I'm the one who makes the rules here. Even if he's a mad bear, he'd better behave himself in front of me. But I think this little guy won't be so brainless as to challenge my authority."

  Kamides shrugged and said with a "heaven knows" expression, "There's still a long way to go, it's not clear what will happen in the end. Don't get too excited yet."

  Before he knew it, it was 5 am. Rommel stood on the empty ground in front of the barracks, his face growing increasingly unsightly as he looked at his stopwatch. The only ones left on the empty ground were him, instructor Kamides, Lin Ao Feng and the other eight new recruits from their barracks, as well as two soldiers; there was no movement from anyone else in the other barracks.

  After about five minutes, Rommel said to Kammerdorfer: "You take them for training according to plan, the others I'll deal with myself!"

  Kamides nodded and beckoned to Lin Ao Feng and others, saying: "You come with me!"

  "Yes!" Lin Ao Feng and others responded in unison, following Carmades to the place where their equipment was stored.

  Three minutes later, Rommel's eyes narrowed and a killing aura gradually spread out: "Since you dare to challenge my authority, you should have the awareness of being punished!" Thinking of this, Rommel said to the soldiers beside him: "Use high-pressure water guns to make them sober up!"

  The soldiers received the order, and soon eight soldiers kicked open the doors of four barracks with four water pipes. Four white water dragons sprayed out at the same time, and the trainees who were sleeping soundly on their beds were washed to the ground by the water dragons. In an instant, the entire barracks became a flooded country.

  The trainees who had become disheveled emerged one by one from the barracks, standing on the drill ground with their clothes in disarray. Rommel smiled and walked around them, asking: "How do you feel?!" Seeing that the trainees didn't respond, Rommel's voice immediately rose: "Answer me! How do you feel?!"

  The trainees lowered their heads one by one. Rommel snorted and said, "Since you all know your mistakes! I'll give you a chance. In addition to running five kilometers with your equipment, you'll add another five kilometers. And I'd also like to thank you, each of you has saved me from having breakfast."

  Because they ran five kilometers less, Lin Ao Feng and others finished their training on time and walked into the cafeteria. When they were halfway through eating, the remaining thirty-two students came in one after another. Seeing that they were all frozen with red faces and ears, Tony said with a lingering fear: "Fortunately, Lin woke us up, otherwise we would have been like them."

  Lin Ao Feng smiled and said, "Now we are all in the same boat, who else can I help if not you?! Hurry up and eat! After finishing, you can still take a short rest."

  "Lin, someone is staring at you." Upon hearing John's words, Lin Ao Feng turned his head and saw eight Japanese people standing not far away waiting to punch in. Lin Ao Feng chuckled and said: "Don't mind them, they're just a bunch of clowns."

  "Zao Tian, that Chinese guy is too detestable! Shouldn't we teach him a lesson?!" asked Ikeda Hiroji in a low voice.

  "Zao Tian Yataro narrowed his eyes, staring at the back of Lin Ao Feng for a while, and asked: "Takamatsu-san, has that Shina person's background been thoroughly investigated?!"

  "His father was a Chinese merchant in Shanghai, China. There is nothing special about him otherwise. However, his uncle, Cheng Zhihao, owned the patent for penicillin."

  "Wait!" cried Taneoka Iwataro with a cold laugh. "Ikeda, this isn't the time or place. You'll have your chance to take him on this afternoon during training."

  "Hey!" Koji Ikeda's heart skipped a beat as he responded with a shout, reminding him, "Nakatada-kun, it's your turn to buy lunch."
