Chapter 99: The Scoundrel Who Destroys Convictions
The imperial envoy, holding the Shangfangbao sword, had the power to command, and most of the trained personnel who had already gone on strike arrived at the training ground within three minutes. What greeted them was water droplets falling with snowflakes in the air, while on the ground it was a mixture of ice, water, and snow that made the surface slippery and wet.
Snowflakes and splashing water droplets merged together, hitting the body in an instant to form a thin layer of ice pellets. The surrounding cold air also pushed the waves, and within seconds, everyone was soaked to the bone. A faint white mist rose from the ground, and the peaceful training field suddenly became a human ice world.
"Alright, time's up. Those who came late will be asked to leave directly. I declare that from now on, you are all eliminated and can leave. I suppose there's nothing for you to pack up here." Zhang Shidong held a water spray gun in one hand, had a cigarette in his mouth, and grasped a communication device with the other hand. His voice echoed throughout the entire base. The instructor team and guard company became the "henchmen" in the eyes of many people, dragging those who came late directly out of the training ground to the guard company's barracks. They entered a warm dining hall with hot food and thick clothes, where they could also take a hot shower in the bathroom.
"Who's that, you, just you, what's your name again, let me see... Hui Yu'er, you, take the people inside and search out the remaining ones for me. My eyes are going to be ruined today, why do they have to be so big? They can't even be covered by clothes." Zhang Shi Dong had a completely rascal-like appearance, pointing at Da Bo Mei Jun's green flower Hui Yu'er, letting her, who was already drenched and revealing her curves, lead the guard company and instructor team to do the final cleanup work inside the base.
Hui Yu'er stared at Zhang Shi-dong, his last words seemed to be muttering to himself, but they were broadcast through the base's loudspeaker, and everyone heard what he said.
"You're asking for it, you piece of trash! Come on out and let's settle this one on one, I'll take care of you!" The burly man was pointing at Zhang Shidong, about to rush out, but Baobao couldn't allow anyone to humiliate her Fluffy.
"You leave the team, directly eliminated. Once you step out of this door, I'll give you a one-on-one chance. Otherwise, don't even think about hitting me, or touching me, I can strip your military uniform off you, believe it or not?" Zhang Shidong spat on the ground, spitting out the cigarette that was still lit in his mouth onto the snow-covered ground nearby, which had yet to be melted by the water. The stain on the pristine white snow was like a reflection of the mental state of 99% of the people present - their lives were being ridiculed, and in their intense training for honor, there was actually a commander who didn't seem like a soldier at all, controlling their fate and training life.
"Leave here and I'll beat you to death." Tiantian spoke out the hearts of many, if one day they left this place, they would beat him.
Those who were searched out, upon hearing the news of being eliminated, had their wish fulfilled in advance and several broke free from the restraints of the police officers and rushed towards Zhang Shidong.
Zhang Shidong flicked the corner of his mouth, turning on the water to its maximum flow. A powerful jet of water shot out from the pipe and was directed straight at the charging soldiers. The immense pressure caused the water to gush out while simultaneously enveloping their bodies in a chilling aura, instantly draining the hunger-driven fervor from their previously charged physiques, causing them to stumble backward under the force of the water jet.
Seeing people being taken out of the training ground, Zhang Shidong turned the sprinkler: "Your brother has adjusted it for you, how is it now, is it more comfortable?"
Bang!
A warrior slammed his hat and backpack to the ground: "Damn it, I'm out of here, there's no human rights at all."
"I'm done too, it's too unfair." Then came the first one, followed by the second one, then the third one, the fourth one...
"We are soldiers, not slaves; we come to learn skills to protect our homes and people, not to be insulted by you."
"This son of a bitch doesn't deserve to be our instructor, and I won't learn anything under this son of a bitch."
More than 20 soldiers threw away their hats, dropped their backpacks, wiped the icicles from their faces and walked out of the formation with anger, staring at Zhang Shidong as he left the training ground. Immediately, soldiers from the guard company brought over thick blankets to wrap around them, a large bowl of ginger soup was waiting for them, and medicine to prevent colds was being taken.
Zhang Shidong held a water gun in one hand, maintaining the same posture as he sprayed, while holding a list of personnel names in the other hand, occasionally placing it on the car's roof and crossing off name after name with his pen.
A departing soldier deliberately walked past the car and suddenly pounced on the roof, only to be met with icy gun barrels instead of shocked expressions.
"Get out! Cowards don't deserve to do anything. If you want to challenge me, first successfully graduate from here, those who are eliminated have no qualifications to talk to me." Zhang Shidong's words carried a strong stimulating and insulting tone, anyone couldn't bear this, the people standing below glared angrily, this soldier who rushed up gritted his teeth, ignoring the cold gun muzzle, swung his fist at Zhang Shidong's face.
It's not that I'm not afraid of guns, but rather that Zhang Shidong dares not fire one.
Bang!
When the gunfire rang out within the training base, everyone was stunned.
Everyone in the guard company outside the training ground who was eating, drinking and taking a bath also froze.
In the snowy ground, that soldier covered his leg, a few drops of blood fell on the bloody ground, the pain didn't make him howl, but the fact that someone had shot at him made him stunned, covering his leg, staring blankly at it, not daring to believe that the person in the car was holding real guns and bullets, and actually dared to shoot?
"Don't move, those who move will be eliminated."
The cold voice once again stimulated the trainees in the field, and someone stood up, staring at Zhang Shidong with hatred, rushing to the injured soldier's side, asking if he had any problems, and some who understood first aid medical care also helped to check the wound.
Xue Lin stood in the team, with 70% indignation and 30% incredulous suspicion looking at Zhang Shidong. He brought four of his best soldiers here, pinning the hopes of the entire army group on them. He thought he could learn a lot of new things that he had never touched before, but after arriving, he found that the training intensity was higher than that of ordinary new recruits, and there were not many new contents. After staying in the city template for a few days, even the self-organized confrontation exercises were more effective than the training organized by the instructor team.
"How could he shoot?" Xue Lin wanted to move, but thinking of the five quotas that came from personal relationships, he endured it, no matter what, and insisted on persisting until the end. At that time, he must ask Zhang Shidong carefully, even if it meant waving his fists.
Xue Lin didn't move, but someone beside him did. One of the special soldiers he brought threw down his hat and left the team despite Xue Lin's obstruction, standing beside the wounded soldier with the people in front, silently protesting.
"What do you want to do, do you want to be expelled from the army? Here is a document issued by the political department of your unit. Anyone who tries to make trouble here will be expelled from the army." Several instructors stood in front of the crowd, and the instructor in charge of organizing materials took out the killer move. When he received such an order at first, he was also scared silly. This training camp, which was originally composed of military police from Beihai Province, actually had such an order issued.
The soldiers, with obedience to orders as their duty, gradually retreated in the face of commands, despite their discontent. Everyone spoke out the firm words that needed to be reported. The wounded soldier was helped up, and only then did they discover that he had merely scraped his thigh, with the bullet grazing his skin, making the wound look more serious than it actually was - similar to those caused by falling while running quickly and scraping one's hands and feet.
Many people looked at Zhang Shidong with a lucky gaze, without any sympathy but only hatred and anger. Their dignity and the things they valued were destroyed, regretting coming here and regretting holding on for so many days.
People only know that the Chinese special forces are very powerful, and there are also real heroes in the SWAT police. However, here they have their beliefs destroyed. Many instructors secretly sighed, this person is too ruthless, if in the end they can't train true strong soldiers, the cost will be too high for many leaders to bear. Those who leave are all considered useless, even if they return to their original unit or team, it's hard for them to regain their former spirit. Perhaps leaving was their last choice. When they came, they were all elites, standing on the podium and being praised by leaders as outstanding candidates, but here they were ruined by a scoundrel.
"Oh, right, you can't leave yet. You have to stay here until the troops or units I notify come to take you back. This could be a month or a year. I'm a reasonable person and won't make things difficult for you. Before this place is closed down, you'll need to do the same work as them."
Zhang Shidong did not realize that he had offended everyone, and still proclaimed with great arrogance that he would once again stimulate those who left the training camp. However, due to the previous stimulation, this stimulation was not great, and everyone seemed very numb. Except for scolding a sentence, they dragged their icy bodies into the warm cafeteria, changed into brand new clothes.
Afraid of cold, afraid of getting sick, afraid of catching a cold, afraid of lying down, now you can leave.
Continuing to spray cold water, the people standing below were already stiff in their training uniforms, with a layer of frost visible on top, their faces pale and enduring the icy invasion that was damaging their bodies.
What about Zhang Shidong?
He shifted his gaze, looking at the guard camp outside the training ground gate, then glanced at the huge steel structure warehouse on one side, and looked at the large drill ground that stretched to the back of the entire base. He rubbed his chin: "Hmm, now that we have more laborers, we can start building underground things."
