Chapter 26: The Abnormal Cloud Seven

  (Dong dong dong dong...... The second update is here......)

  When all the soldiers of the First Hundred were running around the school field, Yun Qi was nowhere to be seen. The soldiers also found it strange that Yun Qi had run off somewhere, but the natural military pride made them not dare to slack off at this time.

  Before long, Yun Qi walked back with a bag wrapped in cloth that was heavy and bulging. Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the bag in Yun Qi's hand, secretly guessing what was inside.

  "How many times have you gone around? Han Changsheng." Yun Qi shouted.

  "Report!" Han Changsheng adjusted his breathing and replied hastily: "Ninth lap!"

  "Continue on." Yun Qi waved his hand and shouted, "I'll add more dishes for you later."

  From the somewhat excited expressions of the soldiers, Yun Qi knew that they had completely misunderstood. This extra meal was not as delicious as they thought. He glanced at the canvas bag in his hand and suddenly thought of the tactics used by instructors to deal with them in the future, but now it was being used on these big-headed soldiers.

  Just as the eleventh lap was finished, Yun Qi loudly shouted: "Last lap, full speed sprint, then gather in front of me."

  The soldiers received the order, puffed out their chests, and quickened their pace. The distance between the teams shortened rapidly as they ran around the circle. When they finished, everyone's mouths were wide open, panting heavily. Some didn't care about maintaining formation, and simply plopped down on the ground, hands propping themselves up, eyes closed, letting sweat drip from their cheeks. Their chests heaved rapidly, brows furrowed in a pained expression. Others bent over, hands on their knees, sweat dripping from their hair onto the ground, quickly evaporating.

  "Look at you, one by one, you've only run this short distance and you're already on the verge of death!" Yun Qi scolded loudly. At this time, almost all the soldiers in the camp had gotten up and started preparing for their morning exercise, more and more soldiers looked at the first hundred people team in the field with a mixture of surprise and confusion, who were clearly nearing collapse.

  Yun Qi, however, ignored the gaze of those around him and continued to scold in a low voice: "All of you, stand up and line up neatly."

  Everyone had to follow Yun Qi's orders, and with great difficulty, the troops finally stood in a neat formation. Some people's legs were trembling very obviously, and Yun Qi seemed to be able to hear the rapid heartbeat of the soldiers standing nearby.

  Yun Qi walked in front of everyone, pulling out a handful of uncooked white rice from the cloth bag and scattering it randomly in front of each soldier. By the time he finished with the last soldier, the cloth bag in his hand was empty. Facing the soldiers' curious gazes and the pointing fingers of the people around him, Yun Qi walked back to the front of the troops, a smile on his face, his tone gentle yet firm: "Alright... now, this is my treat for everyone. Listen to my orders! Everyone squat down and count the rice grains in front of you one by one."

  "What!" All the soldiers looked shocked, ignoring their wildly beating hearts and trembling legs. They simply didn't dare to believe that Yun Qi's so-called "supplement" was actually making them squat down to pick up rice grains one by one after intense exercise, and count them clearly.

  Seeing the soldiers not moving, just staring at him like they had seen a ghost, Yun Qi said: "What? You don't understand what I'm saying? Now... all of you... squat down... pick up rice grains!" Yun Qi specially emphasized the latter part when he was speaking.

  The soldiers hastily crouched down one by one, facing the rising sun, and began to pick up the grains of rice on the ground according to Yun Qi's requirements. Sweat had soaked through their soft armor, and now they were not only trembling in their legs but also shaking violently all over their bodies. Everyone felt short of breath and dizzy.

  Some soldiers, unable to calm their racing hearts, made mistakes while counting and had to pour the grains of rice they had already counted back onto the ground and start again. Some soldiers were clearly on the verge of collapse, changing from a squatting position to one where they were half-kneeling, but were kicked in the ankle by Yun Qi from behind, causing them to lose their balance and fall over, not to mention spilling the grains of rice in their hands onto the ground. At this point, Yun Qi's cold voice rang out: "I said squat while counting the grains of rice, I don't want to see any other posture."

  Finally, some soldiers reached their physical limit, suddenly throwing away the rice grains in their hands, kneeling on the ground, propping themselves up with both hands, and vomiting violently. However, they had not eaten much that morning, so all they could vomit was stomach acid and bile. After vomiting, the soldiers did not feel any more comfortable, but instead felt even more miserable, their entire face flushed bright red.

  Yun Qi walked up and took out a water bag from his waist, poured some clear water into the soldier's mouth, and then patted him on the back several times. With great difficulty, the soldier finally caught his breath, thinking Yun Qi would stop there, but instead heard: "Alright, now you can re-count the rice grains."

  The soldiers only felt a blackness in front of their eyes, almost fainting, perhaps fainting was what the vast majority of soldiers hoped would happen at this point, because then they wouldn't have to endure the painful and inhumane torture anymore.

  The crowd of onlookers on the drill ground grew larger, and many soldiers couldn't bear to watch as the elites of the First Hundred were tortured until they were unrecognizable. Now, when they looked at Yun Qi, their eyes held only reverence and fear; at the same time, they felt grateful that Yun Qi wasn't their commander. Suddenly, they found themselves thinking that their originally disagreeable commander was actually quite lovable.

  Han Changsheng, Lu Ping and several others were also uncontrollably shaking all over their bodies, their lips had even turned a bit purple, yet they persisted in carefully counting the grains of rice one by one.

  This training method was invented by a company commander in the original unit of Yun Qi, after returning from over 400 days at the world's most famous Venezuelan Hunter School. It is a special training method that exercises the physiological limits and rapid calmness of the human body. Yun Qi had tried this inhumane training during his time in the Wolf Special Forces, when their batch of special forces were not much better than these big-headed soldiers. However, their training was even more brutal, requiring them to complete five 400-meter obstacle runs at full speed before picking up rice grains. Although the total distance was only over 2,000 meters, the amount of exercise was an extreme challenge, equivalent to climbing a mountain over 1,200 meters high... at full speed.

  That's the quality and physical strength that special forces soldiers need to possess. Although Yun Qi still finds it terrifying at times, he is grateful to his instructors from the bottom of his heart. Because after executing hundreds of tasks big and small, they can return unscathed, experiencing the feeling of being alive.

  For a whole hour, many soldiers had dry heaves and were given water by Yun Qi in time for emergency treatment. Two soldiers fainted directly, Yun Qi had no choice but to let people carry them away to rest. Finally, when everyone held the rice in their hands and not a single grain could be found on the ground, Yun Qi announced that it was time for breakfast and they could disperse on the spot.

  At this time, these soldiers didn't even have the energy to eat, and as soon as Yun Qi said they could disperse, they immediately collapsed to the ground like a scattered frame...
