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

An Ran heard footsteps, turned around and saw Chen Zheng, and was somewhat surprised.

Chen Zheng ran to An Ran's side without slowing down, but simply turned his head to the side.

"Why don't you go and rest?"

An Ran stood with her hands on her hips, looking ahead at the track without turning her head, deliberately avoiding looking at Chen Zheng.

"Having stayed in the capital for so long, my physical fitness must have dropped; I need to make up for it."

"Otherwise, what will we use to lead the team tomorrow? We can't possibly lose to those girls."

Chen Zheng stared at An Ran for two seconds and saw through her excuse at a glance.

But he didn't expose it, looked away, and continued jogging slowly around the training field.

An Ran watched Chen Zheng's retreating figure, took a deep breath, and followed after him.

The two of them ran lap after lap in the night, one after the other.

For the first five laps, An Ran stayed close behind Chen Zheng, about two meters behind, her breathing was steady and her steps were light.

As the captain of Mulan, this kind of slow jogging was just a warm-up for An Ran.

But as she ran, Anran began to feel something was wrong.

Chen Zheng was running incredibly steadily.

Each step covered a similar distance, and the sound of each foot landing was extremely heavy.

On the eighth lap, An Ran's forehead began to sweat, and her breathing became noticeably faster.

On the tenth lap, An Ran felt her legs getting heavier, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

Eleventh lap.

"I can't take it anymore..."

An Ran staggered, bracing herself tightly on her knees with both hands, gasping for breath.

Raise your head and look ahead.

Chen Zheng is still running.

The speed was neither too fast nor too slow, and his back remained straight.

An Ran gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly.

What kind of pervert is this?!

She had no idea that the seemingly leisurely man in front of her was actually bearing seven times the terrifying force of gravity.

Chen Zheng's training uniform was soaked through; every step he took was a struggle against that exaggerated gravity.

The rubber track beneath my feet has been worn down to have more than a dozen small, barely noticeable dents.

However, while fighting against gravity, Chen Zheng also had to be distracted to maintain his stability and avoid being discovered by the people behind him.

An Ran stood there catching her breath for a full half minute before finally catching her breath.

Watching Chen Zheng's figure disappear into the distance at a steady pace, she bit her lip, straightened up, silently took a step, and followed him again.

Don't let yourself be left behind!

I ran another ten laps.

As Chen Zheng ran past the east wall of the training field, he glanced at the outside out of the corner of his eye.

On top of an inconspicuous utility pole, a dark metal hemisphere has appeared.

That's surveillance footage.

Chen Zheng clearly remembered that before going to the capital, this thing definitely didn't exist there.

Although he felt something was off, he didn't look at it too closely, but kept it firmly in mind and continued running the last lap at his own pace.

The twentieth lap has ended.

Chen Zheng slowly stopped, and mentally closed the Ascension Steps.

That exaggerated gravity vanished instantly.

Chen Zheng walked to the steps at the edge of the training field and plopped down on the ground.

An Ran finally finished running after three minutes. Her legs were weak as she walked to the steps and plopped down next to Chen Zheng.

She took out two bottles of water, unscrewed one, and handed it to Chen Zheng.

Chen Zheng took the water bottle, tilted his head back, and took two gulps.

Anran held another bottle of water, but didn't drink it; she just looked up at the starry sky above.

Neither of them spoke.

The evening breeze swept across the training field, carrying a slight chill.

After a long while, An Ran finally spoke softly.

"It feels so good to be back."

Chen Zheng looked at the track ahead and casually hummed in agreement.

Another silence followed.

An Ran couldn't help but sigh: "Instructor."

"I remember everything you said."

Chen Zheng paused, holding the water bottle, and turned his head to glance at An Ran.

An Ran didn't turn to look at him; she kept staring at the dark ground in the distance.

"You said there are some things that can't be done right now."

"I will wait."

After saying that, An Ran didn't look at Chen Zheng's expression or wait for his reply. She got up and strode towards the dormitory.

Chen Zheng sat on the steps, holding the half-empty bottle of water in his hand, watching An Ran's retreating figure, and couldn't help but smile wryly: "That girl..."

Chen Zheng stood up from the steps and walked towards the track.

He walked to the spot where he had just completed his training at the Divine Ascension Steps and looked down at the ground.

The plastic surface was dented with more than a dozen deep pits, and the footprints were twice as deep as those of a normal person.

Chen Zheng lifted his foot and rubbed the sole of his shoe against the plastic granules a few times, kicking the rubber scraps into the pit.

They managed to smooth out the edges of the deep pit, making it look like it was caused by an accident.

However, these marks left by violent trampling will definitely become increasingly difficult to conceal as the Ascension Steps are used more and more frequently.

We need to find an opportunity to set up a special venue on our own.

Chen Zheng shook his head, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly walked towards his dormitory.

At the same time.

Inside Mulan's dormitory.

I sat cross-legged on the bed with my laptop screen covered in dense code and documents.

Li Yue lay on the next bed, turned over, pulled the blanket over her head, and muttered something.

"Still not sleeping in the middle of the night, are you cultivating immortality?"

He didn't even lift his head from the keyboard; his eyes were glued to the progress bar on the screen.

"What do you know? I'm saving the world."

In the center of the screen, an encrypted email attachment is being slowly decrypted.

That was the top-secret information she had intercepted regarding the southwest node of the egret.

The keyboard organized all the information into a clear summary, and then yawned.

"All done. I'll find an opportunity to hand it over to the instructor separately tomorrow."

I closed my laptop and went straight to sleep.

……

5:30 a.m. the next day.

Mulan's training ground.

Chen Zheng, dressed in a crisp training uniform, stood at the very front of the formation.

All the Mulan members lined up and stood in formation.

Ram struggled to keep her eyes open, her body swaying unsteadily.

Guo Huaiying's stomach let out a long protest.

Jiang Nan looked left and right, and slowly hid his explosives.

Shen Doudou stood upright with her eyes closed. Having been in Mulan for so long, she had gotten used to sleeping standing up.

Anran stood at the front of the line, her eyes looking straight ahead.

Chen Zheng put down his thermos and coldly glanced around.

The previously somewhat loose team immediately tensed up.

Chen Zheng then slowly spoke.

"We'll talk about the matters in the capital another time."

"Now, let's catch up on the lessons you've missed during this time."

"Double today's training volume!"

The moment he finished speaking, the training ground erupted in cheers.

Ram let out a scream, his legs buckled and he almost collapsed to his knees.

Li Yue looked up at the sky and sighed, feeling as if the sky had collapsed.

Jiang Nan grabbed her hair in despair and began to plan whether or not to blow up the runway.

However, given the instructor's character, the training intensity would only increase in that case.

Even Shen Doudou, who was sleeping with her eyes closed, was startled and suddenly opened her eyes, her face full of terror.

An Ran took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her irrationality, and shouted, "Attention everyone! Right turn! Destination: 10km armed cross-country run on the back mountain! Run!"

The team roared into action amidst desperate screams.

Chen Zheng stood still, watching the group of girls rushing towards the back mountain, and slowly followed behind the group.
