Chapter 1681: Please Be Careful, It Hurts!
“Bang bang—” Continuous sounds of gunshots rang through the air.
In the wide, open-air shooting range, Jiang Hongjie was dressed in a black combat suit, blindfolded for a firing exercise.
Ninth Si made use of a simple yet brutal way in order to differentiate the knowledge he wished to pa.s.s down from those he had received from other instructors. This kind of experience was one of a kind, giving one an inexpressible feeling.
In order to fully experience such feelings, he would blindfold himself every day, sometimes even purposely disabling themselves so that he’d lose mobility and remember the pain he felt on that fateful day.
At this time, the footsteps around seemed to be of those stepping on the nerves in his head. Jiang Hongjie flipped around, immediately aiming and shooting.
“Bang—” A gunshot sounded.
Xu Zhenyu leaned back as the bullet flew past his head. If not for his quick reaction, the bullet would have gone through his chest.
In such a short time, this guy actually managed to improve his gun skills so much.
Although Ninth Si seemed as if he did not know what he was doing, he was unexpectedly quite reliable. It seemed like owing a favor to him was quite worth it.
Although Xu Zhenyu thought this way, he still rushed forward and kicked Jiang Hongjie mercilessly, scolding. “F**k, how dare you try to shoot at me, are you seeking death?”
Jiang Hongjie was not expecting his captain to be there. He pulled off his blindfold and exclaimed, “Ah—please be gentle, captain, it hurts! How could I possibly know that the guy coming over was you? I thought it would be that r.e.t.a.r.d who was beside Ninth Si.”
Speaking of that r.e.t.a.r.d, Jiang Hongjie’s face turned bitter.
That r.e.t.a.r.d seemed to take pleasure in teasing and making a fool of him.
Upon looking at his weirdly twisted body on the ground, unable to move, Xu Zhenyu realized that this guy had disabled himself. He squatted down, held his leg and swiftly and mercilessly fixed his joints back together with a loud “crack”.
“Ahh…”
Jiang Hongjie let out a sharp scream. Anyone who heard it would feel bad for him and back off. “Captain, can you be more gentle? You’re obviously trying to take revenge on me for something I did to you on personal time.”
Jiang Hongjie’s voice became more and more hoa.r.s.e as he screamed and shouted at the same time, making the whole base come over to see what was going on while laughing at his misery.
“How dare you complain that I’m not gentle enough. Shall I let Ninth Si help you put your joints back together?”
Xu Zhenyu grabbed his other leg and put his joints back together in a more ruthless way than previously.
Jiang Hongjie screamed. “Team Leader Xu, I know I’m wrong. I know you’re a magnanimous person. Please have mercy on me and forgive me just this once. Let Ninth Si come back. Sooner or later I’ll be ruined by him, anyway!”
Jiang Hongjie had both fear and admiration for Ninth Si.
He really did not want to experience what he did previously again.
Although it was the same action, he experienced so much pain, it was as if the pain was ten-fold. The pain was enough to make him want to die. He had no idea where he learned such cruel moves.
The moment he thought of it, he had gooseb.u.mps.
“You’re scared? If you continue this way, you will ruin yourself sooner or later.”
Xu Zhenyu was not serious when he spoke about asking Ninth Si to put his bones back in place. He was not actually planning to do so. He believed that even if he had really asked, based on his draggy character, he might not even come.
However, this brat Jiang Hongjie was getting out of hand.
Jiang Hongjie replied guiltily, “How can that be, I have some sense.”
Recently, he did improve a little bit.
Xu Zhenyu slapped his forehead, covered his face and started scolding. “What sense do you have! All you do is dislocate your legs all day, is that fun? Don’t you know that even if you put them back in place, if you keep doing such things, your bones will become injured? In the long run, your legs will have all sorts of problems. As a member of my team, what do you think is the most important?”
Xu Zhenyu was dressed in an all-black combat outfit. His figure was tall and majestic, just like an immovable mountain, calm, tall and heavy.
As Wen Xinya said, he was shaped like a man but behaved like a dog.
Jiang Hongjie suddenly stood up straight, with his legs together and his back upright. He looked forward and said, “Firstly, to not get hurt easily. Secondly, to not get hurt easily. Thirdly, to not get hurt easily!”
Only when one was in their best condition and not get injured easily could one complete their tasks and protect their life to the best of their ability.
Xu Zhenyu kicked his knee and said fiercely, “Good that you know, yet you still take my words and orders as just wind beside your ears!”
After experiencing Xu Zhenyu’s violence, Jiang Hongjie experienced a sharp pain in his joints. His legs gave way, almost causing him to fall to the ground. That was when he realized the gravity of the matter.
“First Cla.s.s soldier, Jiang Hongjie has disobeyed orders. The leader shall carry out the punishment.”
Xu Zhenyu’s voice became louder, as he said, “We are about to execute a mission. The sniper is the most important person in this mission. You have to ensure your body is in the best condition. Hence, I’m punis.h.i.+ng you to stay in the base to rest. You are not allowed to go anywhere until we complete the mission and return back home. I’ll make sure you recover properly. ”
Xu Zhenyu’s voice was as tough as a mountain, so strong that it was enough to suffocate those who heard it.
Jiang Hongjie answered, “Yes!”
Xu Zhenyu angrily shouted, “Louder!”
Jiang Hongjie, full of energy, stuck his chest out and shouted, “Yes!”
He already had a powerful voice previously. However, he made use of all his energy for this one powerful reply.
Xu Zhenyu nodded his head with satisfaction. Exuding power, he threatened. “If I ever find you doing such abusive training ever again, I will break your legs and send you home on a plane. My mission does not need people who are unable to obey orders. If you choose to do so, all your teammates will be punished. Am I clear?”
During a war, if one was not able to maintain their body’s condition, that signified that during the war, many bodily problems would occur, causing one to make many mistakes. The determinant of who won a war would always be the soldiers themselves. Even a small mistake may result in the entire mission failing and even cause death.
This was absolutely not permissible.
Jiang Hongjie shouted, “Understood!”
Jiang Hongjie finally understood how rash his decisions had been. He was so embarra.s.sed and remorseful that he did not dare to look at his leader in the eye. He realized how big a mistake he had made.
Xu Zhenyu coldly ordered. “Why are you still standing there? Go to the medic office to have the doctor look at you immediately!”
Jiang Hongjie immediately ran off. After a few steps, he returned and asked, “Leader, has my gun skills improved?”
After asking, he looked at the leader expectantly.
Xu Zhenyu’s reply was a knock on his head.
