Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

Time passed slowly, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was at its most intense.

Many new recruits were already showing signs of heatstroke, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Zhang Dongze glanced at his watch and saw that an hour had passed, so he said:

"Everyone, you have two and a half minutes to warm up your limbs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the recruits who had been standing tensely collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.

Standing motionless for two hours under the blazing sun is something even those with extraordinary physical abilities find difficult to endure.

However, not all the new recruits were slumped on the ground at this moment; a very small number of them were still standing in place, simply moving their stiff limbs.

Because they knew very well that Zhang Dongze's so-called two and a half minutes was not actually two and a half minutes, but only five seconds.

However, it's difficult to stand up again in a state of extreme fatigue in just five seconds.

Zhang Dongze looked at the twenty-odd new recruits still standing on the field, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. He then gave a wink to the instructor standing behind him.

The instructors behind them understood immediately, quickly wrote down the names of the twenty-odd new recruits, and took out a roll call list, marking each of their names with a red circle.

Five seconds passed quickly.

Suddenly, Zhang Dongze shouted coldly:

"All of you, stand at attention!"

"what?"

The new recruits, who were slumped on the ground, were dumbfounded upon hearing this. What happened to the promised two and a half minutes?

But then they suddenly remembered that here, two and a half minutes equals five seconds.

The new recruits cursed under their breath, but they could only shake their heads helplessly and prepare to get up.

However, just as they were getting ready, they were surprised to find that their legs were so weak that they were completely unresponsive.

This resulted in at least half of the new recruits not standing up when Zhang Dongze gave the order.

Behind Zhang Dongze, the instructor holding the roll call quickly drew a yellow circle around the names of the new recruits who were able to stand up again.

Those who did not get back up were marked with black circles.

After a while, all the new recruits in the training field finally stood up again.

But at this moment, a full ten seconds had passed since Zhang Dongze gave the order.

The new recruits secretly feared that Zhang Dongze would once again fly into a rage and physically punish them.

Strangely, Zhang Dongze didn't get angry this time; instead, he looked at Li Longhu calmly.

"Now, you can ask the question you were going to ask earlier?"

Although Li Longhu was already tormented to the point of near death, he still forced his extremely exhausted body to remain neither humble nor arrogant, and said:

"Report! You said you'd give us two and a half minutes, but only five seconds have passed. This is a false report!"

Upon hearing this, all the new recruits cast admiring glances at Li Longhu.

Good grief, you still dare to talk back now!

You really live up to your name, you're a real tiger!

Zhang Dongze looked at the composed yet confident young man before him and said coldly:

"Two and a half minutes is enough time for a six-star demon king to destroy a county; enough time for a seven-star demon emperor to destroy a prefecture-level city; enough time for an eight-star demon lord to destroy a province!"

"And we, the Night Guardians, as the backbone of the force responsible for resisting high-level monsters, can we allow such a thing to happen?"

"Answer me loudly!"

"No!" everyone responded in unison.

Zhang Dongze's sharp gaze swept over everyone:

"In the Town Night Division, time is money, time is life. Here, I'm giving you two and a half minutes. You must complete my request within five seconds. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

"Did I give you permission to speak?! Keep standing there for another hour!"

Everyone: We know it!!!
