Special Forces Base No. 1

  He stood on the eight-meter-high stone tower, his eyes constantly scanning the figures climbing up the city wall. On a snowy day, the greenery on the stone tower became the only splash of color in the vast snowy landscape.

  Today, the 1st and 3rd Special Forces Brigades conducted rock climbing training. Originally, according to the plan, the training was supposed to be held on a mountain in Base No. 4, but due to the snowstorm that started at dawn and got worse, the heavy snow caused great interference with the rock climbing, so Shang Yi Qi changed the training to indoor rock climbing.

  If it were an ordinary day, the stone tower would not be too difficult to climb. On the stone tower, there is a protruding foothold every certain distance, and the thickness of the wall that protrudes from the body is only one centimeter, but for these special forces soldiers, one centimeter is enough. After the wall reaches four meters above the ground, there are no more protrusions, at which point they have to rely on the rope with an anchor hook issued by the troops, the length of the rope is about three meters, and with this rope, how can the special forces be afraid to climb such a building? But today, the cold wind cut like a knife, making people's faces ache, and also made the special forces' bodies sway back and forth on the wall of the city tower.

  He watched for another ten minutes or so. The fastest climber had only reached about five meters, and the man who had hooked onto the top of the city wall was clearly unstable, struggling to make progress for a long time. Some people behind him were about to throw out their hooks, while others were still searching for protrusions below with difficulty. The snow was heavy, and the soldiers couldn't get a good grip on the protrusions.

  He furrowed his brow slightly. In the past, the troops wouldn't have been training outside in this kind of weather, but since that man arrived...

  He Mengwang had just arrived at the bottom of the city wall and was looking up at Shang Yueqi, thinking about whether to go ask for instructions to gather the troops, when he suddenly realized that the man below had made a sudden dash and stepped onto the protrusion closest to the ground.

  Like a dragon flying over the river, swift and powerful, like a leopard rushing forward, majestic and awe-inspiring, like an eagle soaring in the sky, with eyes like swords and momentum like breaking bamboo. Shang Yi's movement of climbing the wall was extremely fast, his line of sight was even more venomous, almost as soon as he stepped on one protrusion, he went to the next one.

  He bypassed seven or eight special soldiers along the way, and Shang Xi's movements were terrifying. After passing four meters, he swung a rope from his wrist.

  The grappling hook caught the top of the city wall at once, and after pulling twice to confirm that the rope was stable, Shang Xi held the rope tightly with both hands, his eyes fixed on the city wall. With each step he took, the depth in his eyes increased a little. The wind blew, but he didn't fall or sway. Snowflakes fell on him, and he seemed unaware of it. At seven meters, he pressed one hand against the top of the wall, and with the other hand following closely, he supported his own weight and flipped over into the wall's inner side.

  He patted the snowflakes off his hands and looked down.

  "Everyone gather downstairs immediately, time limit is two minutes." Shang Xi's voice was devoid of any emotion.

  He Yun had just climbed about three meters when he discovered that Shang Qi hadn't brought gloves. His line of sight inadvertently swept towards Shang Qi's hands, and He Yun found that Shang Qi's hands were a bright red at this time.

  A faint aftertaste flashed through his heart, and He Yun quickly followed Shang Xi's footsteps.

  When the two arrived downstairs, the special forces had already gathered spontaneously.

  "Is today's task difficult?" Shang Xi asked in a flat tone.

  "Let you answer if you have an answer, is it difficult or not?" Still a calm and unchanged tone.

  A flash of ups and downs flickered in his eyes, this man seemed to be indifferent to everything, but he was often able to solve problems with the most effective means, subduing those under him. At this moment, his voice was flat and stable as he asked for everyone's opinions, this approach was countless times more brilliant than shouting loudly. Seemingly inactive yet actually active!

  It's still remembered that three days ago, this man officially took office as the commander of the special forces. When he mentioned his military rank was only lieutenant colonel, the special forces were in an uproar. Indeed, it is not common for a lieutenant colonel to be the commander of these special forces. It is well-known that the commander of a division in a large military region should at least be a senior colonel, and among these special forces, there are no shortage of junior and senior colonels, any one of whom could be of the same rank as Shang Yue.

  No one understands the character of this special forces better than others. They have the conditions to become an excellent soldier, but they haven't been trained for a long time, and it's precisely because of this that many of them have a blind sense of superiority. If they are asked to listen to the leadership of a lieutenant colonel, they will obey, because the nature of soldiers is to obey orders. However, whether they will be dissatisfied or discriminatory in their hearts, it's hard to say.

  At first, He Yiming also wondered if Shang Yue would be able to get in through connections. It's normal to think this way, it's human nature, when someone becomes an outlier, people will subconsciously examine the reasons why this person can become an outlier. She couldn't understand why her predecessors would look at Shang Yue with different eyes, nor could she figure out where Xue Fujun's "brother" came from, all she knew was that she had been able to sit in the position of deputy commander of special forces at the age of 26, and the hardships and bitterness involved were probably impossible to recount even in three days and three nights.

  This man ultimately exceeded her expectations! In just three days, this man became an unshakeable presence among these special soldiers. Even because Deputy Commander Xue called this man "brother", many of the soldiers also awkwardly addressed him as "brother" when they weren't training.

  The strong wind blew up the snow on the ground, He Yuxuan thought he was more resistant to cold than those ladies in the boudoir, but at this moment, she couldn't help feeling a chill. Both hands were wearing woolen gloves, and the wind couldn't penetrate into the gloves, but her hands didn't feel particularly warm either.

  Also saw Shang Yu's beautiful big hands. I guess they're all stiff now? For some reason, He Yun felt a sour and astringent feeling in his heart. How strange!

  "Reporting officer, it's that we didn't do well enough." The dark-skinned Cheng Peng, the big guy who was once praised by the former captain, spoke up first.

  Someone took the lead and the answers followed one after another.

  "Reporting officer, it's because we haven't trained enough."

  "Report to the instructor, please punish us, we are willing to accept punishment."

  "Reporting officer, we overestimated ourselves. I will never be proud again."

  "Reporting to instructor..."

  Who would have thought that this man's training today could actually make these soldiers see their own shortcomings.

  Pride and arrogance, even if only a little bit, can be fatal at critical moments. Now these soldiers have realized their problem.

  "Today's training is over, all of you go back and reflect on yourselves. I have remembered every word you just said, I hope you can truly recognize your shortcomings and make efforts to correct them. Punishment, I don't like it, so you must find the problems by yourself. Remember, what I want are the best soldiers."

  "Yes, instructor." The special forces were in high spirits, apparently Shang Xi's words had not discouraged them, but instead seemed to have energized them.

  "Go back and pay attention to keeping warm, they've all dispersed." Shang Xi said as he turned his body to the right and left.

  He Yuxin didn't say a word from start to finish, following behind Shang Yu's back, the two people's footprints were printed one after another in the snowy ground.

  "Brother, we will reflect on this." The special forces looked at the two leaving and shouted another sentence: "Brother, Deputy Commander, pay attention to keeping warm."

  Soldiers, indeed, are very lovely!

  Shang Yi quickened his pace.
