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

"...Four hundred and ninety-nine, five hundred!"

When the last weighted squat was completed, there was no applause on the riverbank, only the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground.

Thump, thump, thump.

Three bodies lay sprawled on the pebbly mudflats, as if their bones had been removed.

Liu Shiyun's thigh muscles had long since lost all feeling, leaving only nervous twitches.

"It's... over..." Tang Tang spread her legs out in a starfish shape, her legs red and swollen, the muscles like fresh beef, still throbbing involuntarily.

She rolled her eyes, staring at the blinding sun, drool dripping from the corner of her mouth, but she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand to wipe it away.

"Ambulance...I need an ambulance..." Zhou Xia lay on the side, her throat emitting hoarse gasps, her arms limp.

survived.

That was the only thought left in their minds.

The exhaustion from surviving the ordeal made even the rubble beneath me feel softer than a Simmons mattress.

Is the punishment finally over?

Whether it's a stretcher or a helicopter, it's time to come and pick them up.

Even if the instructors were Satan, they should be let go now.

However, a shadow blocked out the sunlight.

Chen Zheng stood in front of them, looked down at his wrist, and although he didn't have a watch.

His brow furrowed slightly, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.

"Slow, too slow."

"This level of warm-up has taken so long. It seems you guys had a really good time in the woods the other day."

warm up?

The three people lying on the ground dared not open their eyes, hoping it was just their hallucination.

Five hundred weighted squats, in his opinion, are merely a warm-up?

Before despair could spread in his heart, Chen Zheng's whisper rang out again.

"Alright, stop playing dead." He raised his hand and pointed into the distance. "All personnel, target base, proceed at full speed."

These words instantly ignited the nerves of the three people who were already on the verge of their limits.

"I'm not running!" Tang Tang exploded first, and with a burst of strength from who-knows-where, she kicked her legs on the ground and started throwing a tantrum. "Just kill me! Really! If you have the guts, kill me right now!"

"I'm a human being! Not a machine! My legs are broken! I'm going to sue you for abuse!"

Zhou Xia didn't dare to utter a sound, but buried her head tightly in her arms, expressing her silent protest through silence.

Liu Shiyun gasped for breath and struggled to prop herself up with her arms.

She squinted her severely nearsighted eyes, trying to make out Chen Zheng's face, making a last-ditch effort with the last vestiges of her logic.

"Instructor, this training method is so unscientific..." Her voice was very hoarse. "According to human kinesiology, our muscle fibers have already suffered severe micro-damage, and lactic acid buildup is far beyond the threshold..."

She pointed to her still-spasming thigh and continued, "Forcing yourself to run a long distance at this time can cause rhabdomyolysis or even acute kidney failure. We're here to train, not to commit suicide."

Liu Shiyun took a breath, her tone carrying a hint of desperation: "The three of us can't even stand up right now, and you want us to run back? That's an impossible task."

"Besides... the three of us are all immobilized. You can't just kill us all, can you?"

Three living people, three piles of rotten flesh. No matter how powerful you are, Chen Zheng, you can't really kill us, can you?

The air suddenly became quiet.

Chen Zheng looked at Liu Shiyun's dirty yet still stubborn face and suddenly laughed.

"Reason?" He strode forward, his military boots crunching on the gravel, and walked step by step to Liu Shiyun.

"You're telling me about physiological limits?"

"Master Liu, have you forgotten that you are soldiers!"

"If an enemy holds a knife to your throat, and you tell them you have excessive lactic acid buildup and ask them to let you go, would they be willing?"

Liu Shiyun gritted her teeth and stubbornly replied, "This is different..."

"Nothing's different." Chen Zheng's voice suddenly turned cold, and he slowly bent down.

A strong sense of oppression rushed towards her, and Liu Shiyun subconsciously wanted to retreat, but her body was already numb and wouldn't obey her commands.

"Since you think your legs are broken and you can't run..."

Chen Zheng suddenly reached out and grabbed Liu Shiyun's tattered camouflage uniform.

His other hand moved down without hesitation, gripping the weapon belt around her waist tightly.

Even through her clothes, Liu Shiyun could clearly feel the unshakeable power emanating from that palm.

"What...what are you doing!" She panicked and instinctively struggled.

"Since you don't want to run," Chen Zheng coldly uttered, "then fly back."

The moment the words left his mouth, the world spun around him.

Without a single unnecessary movement, a textbook-perfect over-the-shoulder throw. Chen Zheng used his core strength and bulging arm muscles to lift Liu Shiyun off the ground, sending her flying in an arc through the air.

boom!

With a dull thud, Liu Shiyun was slammed onto the riverbank, her back making intimate contact with the hard ground.

"puff!"

The air in her lungs was instantly squeezed out; she opened her mouth wide and her eyes bulged, but she couldn't even squeeze out a scream.

All the internal organs were out of place for a moment.

The sharp edges of the gravel dug into the skin, causing a burning pain.

The entire venue fell silent once again.

Tangtang, who had just been throwing a tantrum, stopped crying abruptly and covered her mouth in terror.

Zhou Xia was so frightened that she trembled all over and shrank even tighter.

Are you really going to take action?

How could someone be so cruel to a woman?

Chen Zheng clapped his hands, not even glancing at Liu Shiyun, who was curled up in pain on the ground, and coldly swept his gaze over the other two.

"Is there anyone else who feels unable to move?"

"I can give him a free ride."

Tang Tang shuddered, looking at Liu Shiyun who was still convulsing on the ground, and her mind instantly flashed back to the miserable state she had been in when she was thrown to the ground.

You really can die!

"I...I can move! I can move!" she screamed, then scrambled to her feet.

Her legs were trembling violently, but she gritted her teeth and stood up straight.

Zhou Xia, who was next to her, was even faster, scrambling to her feet.

His body swayed precariously, but he dared not lie there for another second.

Chen Zheng nodded in satisfaction, his gaze returning to Liu Shiyun.

"Playing dead?" He raised his foot and gently kicked Liu Shiyun's calf with the toe of his military boot.

"one."

At just one number, Liu Shiyun on the ground trembled violently, her instinct for survival overriding everything else.

She didn't want to experience that over-the-shoulder throw again.

"Ugh..." Liu Shiyun let out a painful groan and slowly pushed herself up from the ground.

It swayed precariously, as if a gust of wind could knock it over, but it eventually stood up.

Chen Zheng looked at the three zombie-like figures in front of him, a cruel smile curving his lips.

"See, I told you you guys could do it."

"A person's potential is like cleavage; you can always squeeze some out."

"When your body reaches its limit, your will will lead you to break through the encirclement."

"Run back, good luck!"
