Chapter 7 - Return alive

When the training was over, Zhang Minghai's legs had already been frozen senseless, forcing himself to walk back into the training base. He felt that his legs were not his own anymore. The other people around him were no better than him. They lay in the snow, their faces green from the cold.

"All of you, go to Lin Shuya's place and receive her examination. I don't want anyone to miss the next training because of this. " Zhao Xueyou looked at them and said coldly.

Lin Shuya checked them once over to make sure that they were alright before telling the soldiers and students to go back.

At this moment, Lin Mo walked in, looked at Zhao Xueyou and smiled, "Today is the first day, how do you feel about them?"

"They're just a bunch of rookies." Zhao Xueyou said lightly.

"Not exactly." Lin Shuya slowly said, "They are elites that have been selected from the various large military regions, and are equipped with a certain quality, it is not easy for them to become like this after just arriving at the base."

"However, that brat is a little interesting. "You actually almost fought against me today." Zhao Xueyou took a drag from his cigarette and asked slowly.

Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders, "Which, um, Zhang Minghai are you talking about?"

"I don't know their names very well yet, but it should be that one." Zhao Xueyou looked at him and said, "Rumor has it that he defeated Bai Xiang the moment he arrived?"

"I guess so, but you're not the first one to think highly of him." Lin Mo slowly said, "He was recruited by the commander himself."

Lin Shuya was slightly startled, "Commander?"

After the training, Lin Shuya only heard that the commander wanted Zhang Minghai to return to his office quickly, but didn't expect that it would be to discuss about joining the special forces.

"Yes." You just found out? The commander himself had chosen them. Even if they weren't elites, they weren't far off. "Alright, let's go take a rest. We still have to deal with this bunch of junior brothers tomorrow." Lin Mo laughed as he turned around and walked out. When he passed by Zhang Minghai in the corridor outside, he patted his shoulder and said lightly, "Brat, come here. I have something to talk to you about."

Lin Mo was walking in front, Zhang Minghai dragged his heavy legs and followed behind him. He wanted to ask Lin Mo what it was a few times, but he resisted.

The corridor of the military base was long and dark, with dim yellow light bulbs.

Lin Mo slowly turned around and said, "I heard that you were very brave today and saved a person from Zhao Xueyou's hands?"

"I don't think I'm brave." Zhang Minghai calmly replied.

"In fact, you are indeed not brave enough. If Zhao Xueyou wanted to kill that student, you simply could not stop him." Lin Mo sneered, "He just wants to establish your authority, he only wants you to obey in the simplest way, while that person chose to fight back. Do you think that's wise? "

"Not wise, but not to die either." Zhang Minghai looked at Lin Mo and said.

"Let's not talk about whether he should die or not." Lin Mo smiled slightly, "Do you know why the army spent such a huge price to train you all?"

"Didn't you say to cooperate with the military on military missions?" Zhang Minghai frowned.

Lin Mo nodded his head, "What we have done is far more than just the outer workings. What we have done are the most dangerous fire missions."

Zhang Minghai looked up and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"What I'm trying to say is, learn to be smart. We gather you, train you, invest in you, and don't want to lose everything because of a single bullet in the field. Thus, everyone here had to learn to survive on the battlefield. And Zhao Xueyou is trying hard to teach you guys this. " Lin Mo looked at Zhang Minghai and said slowly, "Tell me, do you want to return alive?"

"Yes." Zhang Minghai looked at him and said.

"Then study well and don't cause any more trouble." Lin Mo said lightly, "If you can smoothly leave this training camp, your chances of surviving on the battlefield will increase by at least ten percent. You're a smart guy, it's a good deal, don't screw it up. "

Zhang Minghai looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"Because someone admires you and he never looks at you. Whether it's me, Zhao Xueyou, or Lin Shuya, they are all people that this person values highly. And we have all experienced a barrage of bullets, completed many high level dangerous missions, and successfully survived. " Lin Mo said coldly. Now go back to your room and rest. I still need tomorrow's training arrangements. "

Zhang Minghai hesitated for a moment before he nodded, "Thank you."

Dragging his heavy legs, Zhang Minghai returned to his room. After sitting down, he almost didn't want to get up anymore.

At this time, someone pushed him and whispered, "Thank you for what you did today." If it wasn't for you, I might have been killed by that guy. "

Zhang Minghai raised his head to look at him, and only now did he realize that this was the youngster who was beaten up by Zhao Xueyou.

Zhang Minghai didn't say anything as he calmly sat down.

"Enough, don't bother him, he doesn't like to talk much." Li Liqun came over and said. I said, you two sure have had a hard time today, and if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been in this together. "Oh right, brother, what's your name?"

"Zhao Hai, what about you?" The young man said.

"I'm Li Liqun, he's called Zhang Minghai." Li Liqun said softly, "I can see that it's best to keep a low profile here. These people don't care about their lives, beating you up today is considered light. Even if they drag you out and kill you, you won't have a place to cry about your wrongdoings. "

Zhao Hai was stunned, "That can't be?"

"You don't think so?" Li Liqun laughed coldly, "You didn't realize how strict the security here is, those people at the door are all armed, to them, killing a person is nothing. What Falcon Special Forces? To put it bluntly, it was a place where one followed orders. You want to reason with them? Stop dreaming. "

"But we all have a contract. At most, I won't do it anymore, right?" Zhao Hai said unwillingly.

"Do you think this is a market? If you want to quit, you can quit? " Li Liqun frowned and whispered, "I heard that once we signed the contract, the higher-ups would think of a way to remove our identity. Even if you want to go back now, you can't. Obediently training and doing missions. There might be a chance of survival. If you want to quit now, you won't even have an ID card when you go out. "

Zhang Minghai got up, feeling a bit annoyed. He really didn't want to hear any more about it. Although he knew that what Li Liqun said was the actual situation.

Zhao Hai hesitated for a moment, looked around, and said in a low voice, "If it really doesn't work, then let's think of a way to escape!"

"Flee?" Li Liqun's expression changed, and she lowered her voice, "Are you tired of living? Do you think their security measures are a joke? "

Zhang Minghai's heart tensed up as he turned to look at Zhao Hai.

"I've observed before, this is an old-fashioned military base, built mainly in the belly of the mountain. Although those people at the door are hard to deal with, we can avoid going through the door. " Zhao Hai lowered his voice and said, "I also have a friend who came from an engineering unit. Both he and I calculated that there is a weak spot in the room here. If we can get hold of explosives, maybe we can blow up a road. "

Li Liqun's expression changed as she asked softly, "Are you sure?"

"No mistake, he's a directional blasting specialist. We measured the approximate distance with our steps. There was a place that was just over a meter away from the rock stratum with the exception of 80 cm of reinforced concrete. If we had enough explosives, we would be able to escape from here. Furthermore, that place is not at the main entrance area, so we can avoid the guards. " Zhao Hai said in a low voice.

Zhang Minghai suddenly grabbed him and shouted in a low voice, "You'd better not have such thoughts. Even if you get the explosives and blow up a road, how far do you think you can get? Do you think everyone in this training camp is vegetarian? Outside, it was freezing cold, -30 degrees Celsius. How far do you think you can run? At that time, not only will you kill yourself, you will also implicate others. "

Zhao Hai's face turned white, and said: "I was just joking."

"Can't say, can't even think. "In this place, any wrong idea is enough to kill you!" Zhang Minghai shouted in a low voice, "Before we came here, the higher-ups told us that we have to retreat before we face any difficulties?"

Li Liqun's expression was a little unnatural. He said in a low voice, "Actually, I had already thought of it a long time ago. It is said that the training of soldiers is very cruel. "Say, do you think we can still get out of here alive?" He did not finish her sentence, but Zhang Minghai and Zhao Hai understood what he meant.

Zhang Minghai shook his head, "I'm not sure about that, but I think they recruited all of us." Most of them are of good military quality, so there shouldn't be such a thing as what you said. "Since you're already here, you should at least take care of it. You must not have any dangerous thoughts."

Zhao Hai and Li Liqun were both silent for a long time. Li Liqun could not hold it in any longer. He asked Zhang Minghai, "Brother, what do you think we should do now?"

"Sleep." Zhang Minghai glanced at him and said, "We have six hours to rest. If you don't want to drag your tired body to cope with the next training, it's best to take a good rest. This damned soldier training has only just begun. In the future, there will be plenty of suffering. " After saying this, he lay down on the bed and tried to calm himself down, falling into a deep sleep for a while.

Zhang Minghai was absolutely right, it was time for training again. The time for rest was so short that it was depressing. After barely sleeping for a few hours, they were gathered together again and brought to the training hall in the base.

This time, Lin Mo was still the one teaching them, he was still teaching them the basics of weapons. then explained the characteristics and technical data of every type of weapon.
