Then let the witch offer her loyalty

Alexander struggled to open his eyes, and as soon as he tried to sit up, he was immediately in pain all over his body.

"Holy crap... I think I'm going to die..."

Chen Moxin wasn't in much better shape either; his arms and legs were trembling as he climbed down from the top bunk.

"Get up quickly, or you'll get points deducted for staying in bed too long."

The two endured the soreness in their bodies and quickly washed up. Just as they were about to go to the meeting, they suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Hey, where did Lei Lie go?"

Chapter 58 Prepare to cause trouble

In dormitory 106, only Chen Moxin and Alexander were present; Lei Lie was not there.

The two initially thought Lei Lie had gotten up early, but later discovered that he hadn't, because his toothbrush and towel were dry.

Unable to find Lei Lie, the two could only head to the training ground to meet up.

After lining up, Li Lei scanned the crowd and suddenly frowned: "Squad 7, where's your number 5?"

Alexander shook his head innocently: "I don't know, I didn't see him this morning."

Li Lei's brows furrowed even deeper.

In all his years of teaching, this was the first time he had ever seen a student disappear. Surely they didn't run away in the middle of the night?

At this moment, Chen Moxin seemed to remember something and raised her hand in a gesture.

"Number 9, speak."

"Instructor, I suggest we look for it in the back mountain."

Li Lei paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and led the way, running towards the back of the mountain.

When they arrived, sure enough, Lei Lie was there.

The tall, robust figure ran along the mountain path, his strong muscles trembling slightly. Although his clothes were soaked with sweat, he still looked very energetic.

"Lei Lie!" Li Lei shouted.

Lei Lie ran over when he heard the shout, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and gave a simple, honest smile.

"Instructor, what's wrong?"

"Where were you last night?"

"I didn't go anywhere, I just ran here."

"You ran around all night???"

“Yeah.” Lei Lie nodded honestly, his eyes full of simplicity. “Didn’t you tell me to run here until I had no strength left?”

"I still have energy, I can keep running."

"You..." Li Lei felt his vision go black and his blood pressure spike.

"Instructor, are you alright?" Lei Lie asked with concern.

Li Lei closed his eyes, pressed his hands to his temples, and remained silent.

After a long pause, he took a deep breath and said helplessly, "It's alright, you can go back to your unit."

"Oh, you're not running anymore?"

"Return to the team!"

"Yes."

After Lei Lie returned to the team, Li Lei was at a loss for words in the face of the trainees' gazes.

After a while, he said with a stern face, "Everyone, continue preparing for today's training."

"In addition, Team 7 will receive 20 points for their collective behavior."

Yesterday, Alexander argued with Li Lei, and the team was penalized 20 points.

The 20 points were added back today, so the two sides are now evenly matched.

Lei Lie, oblivious to the situation, lowered his voice and asked Chen Moxin, "What were you and Zhongguo doing while I was away? Why did the instructor suddenly give us extra points?"

Chen Moxin had nothing to say.

They are truly a pair of brilliant minds. He thought to himself.

...

Six weeks may seem short, but it is actually quite long.

Because these six weeks were just too painful.

Comprehensive physical training, long-distance cross-country running with full gear, and mental endurance training filled the trainees' time.

At the beginning, the training methods were quite scientific, and trainees were given enough rest time and a balanced diet.

But later on, they started acting like they weren't human anymore.

The trainees' rest time was gradually cut, with an average of only about 4 hours of sleep per day. Their schedules were reversed, and emergency drills in the middle of the night were commonplace.

In terms of diet, they were sometimes given a full meal, and sometimes they would go hungry for several days. During training in the wild, they had to drink animal blood and eat live insects.

The initial scientific training focuses on physical conditioning.

The subsequent almost abusive training was designed to toughen people up, pushing them to their limits and forcing them to give up and quit.

This level of intensity is challenging even for trainees from special training programs, let alone the three externally recruited trainees in the 7th squad.

However, the three of them were very determined and persevered, and were not crushed by the pressure.

Chen Moxin goes without saying.

The highest level of happiness is finding joy in both tormenting others and being tormented yourself.

He used to see articles online that talked about how tough the special forces' training was.

Now that he's experiencing it firsthand, he's experiencing both pain and joy.

Alexander did not give up, out of his own will.

He came here to serve his country, so he naturally regarded the various trials and tribulations here as tests from his country.

For him, there is no difficulty that cannot be solved by singing the national anthem.

As for Lei Lie...

He simply has inexhaustible energy.

Sometimes, when Chen Moxin and Alexander were exhausted after training, he would carry them back to the dormitory, one under each arm.

Of course, the effects of high-intensity training are also very significant.

Chen Moxin could clearly feel that his physical fitness had improved significantly compared to before, and he was no longer at the level of an ordinary person.

The end of the six weeks signifies the conclusion of the specialized physical training program.

As everyone sat on the training field drinking water and resting, Li Lei put his arms around his shoulder and said, "The six-week physical training has officially ended today. I am very pleased that no cowards gave up or dropped out during the training."

"But the test for you has only just begun."

"Tomorrow is your day off. There will be no training scheduled, so you can relax. The day after tomorrow, you will take your first official test."

"This test is related to physical fitness, and specific details will be announced the day after tomorrow."

"What I can tell you now is that those who perform poorly in training are very likely to be eliminated in this test."

At this point, Li Lei deliberately glanced at Chen Moxin and Alexander.

Alexander wiped the sweat from his face with his collar, turned to Chen Moxin, and said in a low voice, "See? He looks down on us. We have to teach him a lesson the day after tomorrow."

Chen Moxin didn't mind being mocked, but the situation seemed somewhat passive at the moment.

Physical fitness is something you either have to be good at or bad at; there's no way to fool people.

Although he and Alexander persevered through the six-week intensive training, their scores in all training subjects were at the bottom.

This is not surprising. Putting aside oddballs like Lei Lie, those specially trained trainees are all top students, having received various military training since childhood.

Want to catch up with them in six weeks? Then their efforts would have been in vain.

The "standard line" for the test will certainly not be lowered because of one or two people; it will definitely be set according to the standards of the specially trained trainees.

Therefore, when Li Lei said that Chen Moxin and Alexander might be eliminated, he wasn't looking down on them; he was simply stating a fact.

The key issue is that we lack sufficient information right now and don't know exactly what will be tested the day after tomorrow.

If you go through the test in a daze, you'll most likely end up back where you came from, and all the hard work of the past six weeks will have been for nothing.

Chen Moxin's gaze subtly shifted towards the south side of the special training camp.

There stood a five-meter-high wall with an electric fence on the outside. At the main gate stood two guard posts, with sentries wearing tactical helmets and holding rifles. The bulletproof plates on their chests gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

All the windows in the building are covered with one-way vision film, so people inside can see outside, but people outside cannot look inside.

That was the "administrative area" where the special training camp stored all kinds of confidential documents.

Chen Moxin squinted and touched her chin.

It's time to regain some control.

Chapter 59 A Thief's Heart Remains Unafraid

That evening, the cafeteria prepared a very lavish meal, including a variety of high-quality staple foods and various meats, to provide the students with sufficient protein so that everyone could eat to their heart's content.

Physical training inherently creates a huge calorie deficit, and coupled with the fact that the trainees used to eat irregularly, they now eat without any regard for their image.

Those who were slightly more careful used chopsticks, while the reckless ones used their hands directly, stuffing steamed buns in their left hand and chicken legs in their right, wolfing down their food, gnawing every bone clean, drinking all the soup in the bowl, and even licking the remaining oil stains.

I was truly terrified of being hungry.

Seeing Chen Moxin finish eating and start wiping her mouth, Alexander, sitting opposite her, asked, "Aren't you going to eat anymore? Eat more, we'll go practice again later to maintain our condition."

Chen Moxin shook her head: "No, I've practiced for so long, a day or two before the test won't make a difference."

After saying that, he left the cafeteria.

Instead of going back to the dormitory to rest early, Chen Moxin strolled around the training field.

There were quite a few people here at the moment. Some were taking a walk after dinner, like Chen Moxin, while others gathered together to discuss the test the day after tomorrow.

Some people even curl up at night, doing physical training such as frog jumps, parallel bars, and weighted running.

Chen Moxin wandered around casually, eventually stopping outside the administrative district.

The sentry on duty quickly looked at him and asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing?"

Unbeknownst to Chen Moxin, she activated [Raging Thoughts Suppression].

He had previously made a spiritual pact with Liu Lan and received an extra 1 point of spiritual consciousness.

He has continued to invest this spiritual point into [Raging Suppression], upgrading it to Lv2.

The number of times [Raging Suppression] can be active has increased from 3 to 4.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Moxin deployed "Phase Space" to envelop the administration building, quickly sensing the structure and objects inside, and leaving "Phase Imprints" on three of them.

After finishing, Chen Moxin smiled at the sentry and said, "It's nothing, just taking a walk after dinner and looking around."

After saying that, he left directly.

The sentry didn't pay any attention and continued to stand guard.

Nothing happened all night.

The second day was a rest day, and there was no midnight assembly call. Everyone slept soundly for the first time in six weeks, and many people slept until noon.

Throughout the day, everyone was either resting or doing some low-intensity warm-up exercises to maintain their condition and prepare for tomorrow's test.

Time passed by, and night fell. The students all went to bed early.

In dormitory 106, Alexander and Lei Lie's snoring rose and fell.

Chen Moxin kept her eyes open, glancing at the tactical watch issued by the special training camp every now and then to check the time, until late into the night.

At this hour, even the instructors would probably be asleep.
