Chapter 1: Are you sick?

  Li Tieshu gazed at Tang Chong and Li Yu for a moment, then bellowed at the several male students who were still trying to explain things to him: "A soldier's duty is to obey orders. Now, I am your instructor. You are my subordinates. Whatever I tell you to do, your only answer should be 'Yes, Instructor.' If anyone is dissatisfied, they can apply to the school to transfer out of my unit."

  "---" No one dared to speak out. Because they were very clear that even if they applied to the school, the school would only help the teachers to punish them.

  "Anyone who explains the reason will add five circles." Li Tieshu said. "Those who do not act within three seconds, add another five circles."

  Splish-splash

  Those few people ran faster than rabbits.

  For Tang Chong, running is a very easy thing. He gets up in the morning and runs dozens of laps around the playground. Now even if he runs dozens more laps, it's not that hard to accept.

  But for Li Yu, who was physically weak and small in stature, and for Liang Tao, who had been lacking exercise for a long time, this was simply a matter of life and death.

  Hua Ming had just started and was still showing off his heroic spirit, relying on his tall and majestic appearance, and wanted to desperately run in front of Tang Chong.

  After one round, he retreated and stopped fighting.

  After running the second lap, his state was no different from Li Yu and Liang Tao's.

  When he ran the third lap, he and a group of others were already dizzy with white eyes.

  "Don't speak." Tang Zhong shouted. "Keep your breathing steady and move forward at a steady pace."

  Tang Chong was the only one on the scene who could still speak fluently. After hearing his instructions, everyone consciously went to do it.

  But fifteen laps ----- this is a distant and unattainable goal.

  Tang looked back at the sparse team behind him and knew that it was impossible to complete the task in this way.

  It is unrealistic for Li Tieshu to be lazy and shirk his duties in his typical military style.

  Then he stopped in the middle of the track and shouted loudly: "Everyone stop. All stop."

  Liang Tao Hua Ming and Li Yu Ting stopped beside him, and several other boys who were also punished followed suit.

  They gaped with their mouths open, panting heavily, and just wanted to plop down on the grass and never get up again.

  "No one is allowed to sit." Tang Da Zhong shouted loudly. "No one is allowed to sit."

  Having heard his words, these boys who were just about to sit down made an effort to straighten their legs.

  "Once you sit down, you can't get up." Tang Chong said. "Now, we are a whole. I rearrange your front and back order, listen to my slogan and move forward - Hua Ming, you go first. Li Yu, follow behind Hua Ming. Liang Tao is third, you are fourth -"

  Some classmates still couldn't call out Tang Chong's name, but he arranged them according to each person's advantages and the performance just now.

  Tang Chong stood at the back of the team, imitating the instructor's tone and shouting loudly: "Now, listen to my command - ready, run."

  Hua Ming was the first to rush out.

  Although he is tired, he has a strong physique. This also means that he has a solid body and there is still unexploited strength inside him. He can play the role of a locomotive.

  Li Yu's physical strength is small, and he is the worst in terms of physical fitness in this team. However, with Hua Ming leading the way in front and someone urging him from behind, under mechanical consciousness, he can only desperately run forward.

  Liang Tao's physical strength is average, but he has a strong sense of self-respect. Those who are ranked ahead of him are all his roommates, and no matter what, he doesn't want to be outdone by others.

  Others also ranked in the same way, more importantly, Tang Chong turned the previous scattered households into a unified whole.

  He gave them a goal, letting them follow the strong. He gave them faith, making them understand each other's support.

  This is what he learned in the Hate Mountain Prison, a team motivation model called "Wolf Nature".

  Tang Chong followed at the end of the team, loudly shouting slogans: "One two three four, two two three four, three two three four, four two three four ----"

  Fifteen laps

  There were also several girls' classes having military training on the football field. At first, they didn't pay special attention to this team being punished by the instructor.

  But when this team ran exceptionally tenaciously through the tenth lap, eleventh lap, and even they couldn't remember how many laps they had run, they began to be shocked.

  "Wow, these people can run so much! How many laps have they run already?"

  "It is. I'm dizzy from walking around - but there are two handsome guys in there"

  "That last guy was really something, running so many laps and still shouting slogans"

  That day, they remembered two handsome guys and a man shouting slogans in circles.

  Sixteen laps, seventeen laps, eighteen laps

  "The nineteenth lap!" Tang Chong's voice was excited. "One more lap to go - one, two, three, four, two, three, four..."

  Actually, Tang Chong and Hua Ming Liang Tao Yu Li four people were only punished to run fifteen laps. They have completed the instructor's task.

  However, Tang Chong did not stop them, and the three of them were still unaware of the problem, continuing to run mechanically with their minds in a daze.

  "Stop!" Tang Da Zhong shouted loudly.

  The team that had been running along with the slogan suddenly stopped, and two people almost fell to the ground.

  Tang Zhong's eyes were quick and his hands were fast, he hurriedly ran over and supported them.

  "I know you're all tired," Tang Da Zhong shouted. "But no matter how tired you are now, this is not the time to fall down - you've already run 20 laps. If you can hold on for 20 laps, can't you just stand a little longer? I know you can do it."

  "I-" Huā míng zhāng dà zuǐ bā, zhǐ jué dé hóu lóng fā gān, shuō chū lái de huà dōu dài zhe huǒ qì. "Wǒ---- hái xíng."

  Translation:

  "I-" Flower's mouth opened wide, only to feel her throat dry, the words she spoke were filled with anger. "I---- am fine."

  "We can hold on." someone shouted weakly.

  "Instructor, give us another slogan"

  "One two three four, two two three four"

  Tang Chong shouted slogans again.

  However, this time he deliberately slowed down the pace. He didn't let them continue running, but only let them move in a small range on the spot.

  Li Tieshu stood beside the iron net separating the football field and basketball court, quietly gazing at the tall and thin boy wearing glasses who had taken his place.

  "Not bad." A smile spread across his dark face.

  Thanks to Tang Zhong's participation and guidance, all these students finished running 20 laps around the playground. This was something that seemed impossible to them before.

  And also, they are still able to stand up now, rather than lying on the ground like a dead dog and unable to move, thanks to Tang Zhong's scientific guidance and his behavior of constantly shouting slogans to boost their morale.

  Although they can't speak now, their eyes looking at Tang Chong express four big words: convinced and obedient!

  Even Liang Tao's gaze at Tang Chong had changed. He recalled the plan of revenge he and Secretary Zhao had set: to win over the people around him, isolate him, and trample him underfoot so that he would never be able to lift his head again.

  Is this kind of person someone he can trample under his feet?

  "What are you doing? What are all of you doing?" Li Tieshu didn't know when he stood behind them. "Do you think running twenty laps is the end of it? This is just your punishment. Return to formation immediately. Attend normal class training."

  "Yes, Instructor." Tang Da Zhong replied loudly.

  Others also responded with a lack of energy and then ran towards their respective class teams.

  "My leg is broken." someone groaned.

  "My bones are going to be scattered."

  "I'd rather not eat anymore, no matter how much I eat, I throw up just as much -"

  The first day of military training, the complaints heard on the road were all like this. Everyone looked extremely tired, but their faces still had a hint of freshness.

  In two days, their initial enthusiasm will pass, and when they wake up with aching bodies every day, that's when the real struggle begins.

  Tang Chong didn't think military training was that tiring, what was more exhausting was pretending to be as exhausted as everyone else.

  Just as he was about to go to the cafeteria with Hua Ming and others for dinner, Tang Chong's mobile phone in his pocket rang.

  Glancing at the incoming call display, a phone number with "Bai Su" flashed on it.

  Of course, only Bai Su'e, Ken and Da Dangjia knew this number. Lin Huiyin and Zhang He didn't even bother to remember his phone number.

  Tang Chong walked to a corner before answering the phone and asked, "What's up?"

  "Tang Zhong. There's an important engagement tonight that you need to attend. First take a taxi back to the villa, Ah Ken wants to help you with your styling." Bai Su said.

  Tang Chong furrowed his brow and said, "Now?"

  "Now." said Bai Su.

  Let's charge like wolves!!!
