I put you in charge of those rebellious female soldiers, how come they all became top special forces

Half an hour later.

Bang!

A loud bang shattered the silence of the jungle.

A red signal flare shot straight into the sky, trailing a long plume of smoke.

Immediately afterwards, a black drone carrying a megaphone floated out above the trio's heads.

Good morning, newbies.

"See that cliff over there? There's a red box at the top of the cliff; it contains a special fever reducer and antibiotics."

"That's the only thing that can save lives."

"Friendly reminder: This mission has a time limit of one hour."

"If you exceed the time limit or give up, I will determine that Ram is dead and eliminate all of you."

"Timer...start."

After he finished speaking, the drone climbed higher and continued to hover and monitor the area.

Actually, there was something else he didn't say.

According to his assessment, Ram could hold on for at least another five or six hours.

If taken to the hospital within six hours, there will be no lasting effects.

If Keyboard and Yao Yao fail to administer the medicine to Ram before then, he will forcibly take her away.

But he certainly couldn't tell them that.

Knowing that someone will cover for you, people won't push themselves to the extreme.

Under the tree, Ram managed to open her eyes a crack.

Her vision was blurred, and she saw double images.

"No...don't go..."

Ram weakly raised her intact right hand and nudged Yao Yao, who was about to put her down.

"This is psychological warfare..."

"That damn drill instructor, he won't really just watch me die..."

"This is the military, not a real battlefield..."

Even with a fever reaching nearly 40 degrees Celsius, Ram's deep-seated trust in the organization remained.

She didn't believe Chen Zheng would really stand by and watch someone die.

"I don't believe it... He wouldn't dare watch me die in front of him..."

As Ram spoke, her head lolled to the side, and she drifted off to sleep again, though her brows remained tightly furrowed.

Yao Yao looked at Ram, whose face was pale, in her arms, and then at the swollen and purple arm.

She can't gamble.

They had fought so hard to overcome so many difficulties. If they were to fall here, not only would all their efforts be in vain, but Ram would also feel incredibly guilty.

Yao Yao gently placed Ram on the slightly drier tree roots and took off her coat to cover her.

"Keyboard, keep an eye on her."

The keyboard was standing at the bottom of that cliff, looking up with its neck almost broken.

This is a nearly 90-degree vertical rock face.

It had just rained heavily, and the rock surface was extremely slippery.

Let alone free climbing, even a monkey would probably slip and fall.

"This difficulty... is outrageous!" Keyboard gritted its teeth and said, "Are the instructors even human?"

Despite her cursing, her hands didn't stop.

Keyboard tore off a few sturdy grass stems from the ground and used them to firmly tie the constantly slipping temples of his glasses to his head.

He then flexed his wrists, took a deep breath, and was about to reach his hand towards the rock wall.

A small, fair hand pressed down on her shoulder.

"Get out of the way."

Turning her head, she saw a pair of unfamiliar eyes.

Yao Yao stood behind her and casually wiped the mud off her face.

"I'll go."

"Don't you know your own physical limitations?" Keyboard frowned. "Besides, you're afraid of heights. Last time you climbed a second-floor window and your legs went weak."

"I'm light." Yao Yao pointed to the cracks in the rocks that had loosened due to the heavy rain. "These rock walls can't hold up. If you go up there, the rocks will collapse after you step on them a couple of times."

"I only weigh 90 pounds, I can make it up there."

After saying that, without giving the keyboard a chance to refute her, Yao Yao pushed her aside and grabbed a protruding rock with both hands.

"Keyboard... Meiren!"

"I know you don't like people calling you by your name, you always have people call you by your code name, but please let me call you that this time."

Yao Yao's voice trembled slightly, but she still did not back down.

"You stay down here and keep watch."

"In case... in case I fall, remember to catch me."

Keyboard looked at that thin figure from behind, opened its mouth, but in the end said nothing. It simply walked silently to the bottom and opened its arms.

"rest assured."

At this point, no further words are needed.

After receiving an affirmative reply, Yao Yao started climbing.

Getting started is difficult.

The rainwater made the rock surface exceptionally smooth, and with each effort, fingers had to dig deep into the muddy crevices.

After climbing less than three meters, all ten of Yao Yao's fingers were bleeding profusely.

The fingernails made a sound as they rubbed against the rough rock, and two of them even split open.

"hiss……"

The intense pain brought tears to Yao Yao's eyes, but this time she didn't utter a sound.

She gritted her teeth and swallowed back all her complaints and pain.

Just thinking about Ram lying below waiting for her to rescue her made her feel like the pain wasn't so bad anymore.

In the past, when she encountered difficulties, Sister Anran would always stand in front of her, or Ram would happily help her carry her bag.

Everyone is protecting her, treating her like a little sister who needs care.

But she is also a member of Mulan.

"I'm a soldier too... a special forces soldier!"

Yao Yao roared inwardly, the pent-up frustration of being constantly protected now transformed into the strength to climb upward.

She slipped and fell sharply downwards.

"Watch out!" someone exclaimed from below, tensing up completely.

Yao Yao had only two fingers hooked onto an extremely narrow gap, her body dangling and swaying in the air.

In that instant, her mind went blank, and her heart felt like it had stopped beating.

But the next second, she gripped the seam tightly, her fingertips bloodied and mangled, and pulled herself up again by sheer willpower.

This scene was chilling.

……

On a large tree several hundred meters away.

Holy crap!

A swear word rang out.

Chen Zheng's body was stiff, leaning against the tree trunk, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

An Ran clung to his shoulder, her teeth digging deep into his flesh through his ghillie suit and tactical vest.

Through that high-powered telescope, she could see clearly every time Yao Yao slipped and every time she was suspended in mid-air.

That's a cliff tens of meters high.

There were no safety ropes.

If they slip, the keyboard underneath won't be able to hold them, and both of them will be smashed to pieces.

The feeling of watching her comrades struggle on the brink of life and death, while being powerless to help, almost broke her.

She dared not make a sound, afraid of disturbing Yao Yao on the other side, and could only grit her teeth.

They vented all their emotions on Chen Zheng, the instigator.

An Ran gripped Chen Zheng's tactical vest tightly with both hands. Because she was gripping it so hard, her fingernails scratched the bulletproof plates, making a piercing sound.

Her body trembled constantly, and only by clinging tightly to Chen Zheng's body could she barely keep herself from collapsing.

Chen Zheng let her bite him, remaining motionless even as sharp pain shot through his shoulder.

She was indeed the one who started all of this, so it's only right that she suffers some punishment.

Besides, given his current physical strength, even if An Ran bites him hard, it won't actually hurt that much.
