“Someone wants to make a move on the training camp?” Yuan Gang squinted his eyes slightly. “Are they crazy? How many instructors are guarding here, and how many means, both overt and covert, do they have? How dare they?”
“Some people, as long as the benefits are big enough, they can do anything.”
“A new recruit training camp, where do the benefits come from?”
“In this training camp, there are people with certain backgrounds. I believe Instructor Yuan, you are clearer about this than I am,” Chen Muye said calmly.
Yuan Gang opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he fell into silence.
“Just a young master from the Baili Group. Do you know how much his head is worth in the black market in Guangshen City?” Chen Muye reached out and gestured a number.
“Eight billion. Someone is willing to pay eight billion to take the life of the sole heir of the Baili Group. This is no small amount. Eight billion is enough to make many people risk everything! Trying to kill this young master of the Baili Group would be as difficult as reaching the sky in Guangshen City, but in this small Cangnan… I believe many people would be willing to take the risk.”
“Instructor Yuan, do you think the defense of this training camp can be more airtight than the main headquarters of the Baili Group?”
Chen Muye paused and continued, “Moreover, apart from the young master of the Baili family, there is an unprecedented dual deity agent in your camp! Although not many people know this news now, do you think the Cult of the Divine, with their power, would not know? Would they just quietly wait for Lin Qiye to grow up? With a young master of the Baili Group and a dual deity agent in your camp, you can never escape the whirlpool they bring.”
“They have been patient for five months. Since they are starting to take action now, they must have made thorough preparations. Now… do you still think this training camp is so safe?”
Yuan Gang fell silent for a long time, his eyes filled with determination. “As long as I am here, no one can hurt them.”
“You are the deputy team leader of the Shangjing City team, a strongman in the ‘Sea’ realm. With you here, of course it’s safe. But…” Chen Muye’s gaze sharpened, and he slowly said, “Can you guarantee that there are no traitors among the instructors?”
Dong—!
Yuan Gang suddenly stood up from his seat and stared at Chen Muye’s eyes.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Never underestimate the temptation of profit, never trust human nature too firmly… I said, eight billion is enough to drive the vast majority of people crazy! Even if the instructors are truly united, as far as I know, there are quite a few Deity’s Agents in the Cult of the Divine who are good at manipulating people’s hearts. Can you guarantee that none of the instructors are being controlled?”
“So, according to you, our training camp is now facing internal and external troubles, and is in a very difficult situation?” Yuan Gang sneered coldly. “If even our training camp can’t resist this group of people, then why do you think your 136th team can protect Lin Qiye?”
“Because we only have six people in total, and we absolutely understand each other. So at least we have no internal troubles. As for external troubles…” Chen Muye smiled slightly. “Our 136th team has never been afraid of external troubles.”
Yuan Gang looked at Chen Muye in front of him and fell into silence.
The Shangjing City Night Watchman Team can be said to be the leader of all the Night Watchman Teams in the Great Xia. It is made up of the elite of the elite. Yuan Gang could become the deputy team leader, so naturally, he was not a fool.
Just as Chen Muye said, the goal of the training camp is too big. There are more than a hundred people in the instructors and logistics combined. Among so many people… can he really guarantee that there are no traitors?
If the situation outside is really as severe as Chen Muye said, then it is already very difficult for him to resist attacks from all directions. If there are traitors working from within, the situation will be extremely dire.
After thinking for a long time, Yuan Gang slowly sat back in his chair. “So, what do you think we should do now?”
Chen Muye lightly tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly, word by word, “Break the shell and disperse.”
…
The sharp whistle echoed in the sky.
Numerous recruits rushed out of the dormitory building and ran towards the training ground. In less than three minutes, everyone had arrived below the martial arts stage.
Instructor Hong counted the number of people and nodded slightly.
“Very good. After five months of training, you already have the look of soldiers…”
Below the stage, the new recruits stood tall, their eyes sharp as swords.
“Today, we will not train physical fitness in the afternoon, but announce something…” Instructor Hong’s gaze swept over the crowd, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. “The first half of this training camp, which was also a special physical training, will end one month early! This means that from today, our training will shift towards tactics, firearms, and the Forbidden Ruin!”
After this statement, the new recruits below the stage were ecstatic and began to whisper to each other.
“Qiye, Qiye! Did you hear? The nightmare is finally over…” Baili Pangpang was so excited that he was about to cry.
Lin Qiye also breathed a sigh of relief. While physical training was important, no one wanted to be exhausted every day. The news of the early end of physical training was probably good news for everyone!
“Also!”
Instructor Hong spoke again, and everyone quieted down.
“After unanimous consultation among our instructors, it has been decided to give everyone a break before the start of the next phase of training! Starting today, until the second day of the Lunar New Year, a total of four days off!”
If the previous statement only excited them, then upon hearing this, everyone was first stunned, and then they started cheering!
“Wow!! Qiye! Did you hear! We’re really going on vacation!” Baili Pangpang grabbed Lin Qiye’s clothes and was as excited as a 200-pound child.
“Really going on vacation?” Cao Yuan widened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe his ears.
“Qiye! When we go back later, pack your things. I’ll take you to play in Guangshen…” Before Baili Pangpang could finish, Instructor Hong added the next sentence.
“But! No one is allowed to leave Cangnan. If there is any violation, once discovered, they will be directly disqualified from becoming a Night Watchman!”
Baili Pangpang:…Lin Qiye patted his shoulder, “Let’s get one thing straight, don’t count on me, I don’t have a house myself.”
“Everyone will return to the dormitory to pack up, and within half an hour, assemble at the training field. There will be vehicles to take you all out together. Did you get that?!”
“Understood!”
“Dismissed!”
Whoosh——!
The previously orderly formation dispersed in a flash, excitement written all over everyone’s faces. Although they couldn’t go home, getting out to breathe some fresh air and experience the hustle and bustle of the world was still something to look forward to.
“Qi Ye, let’s go! Time to pack our things!” Baili Pangpang saw Lin Qiye standing still and called out to him.
Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he said,
“Don’t you guys think… that this holiday was given too abruptly?”
