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

That afternoon.

At the entrance of the special operations brigade camp, three unsteady figures were slowly inching their way in.

"We've arrived...we've arrived..."

Looking at the usually imposing gate, Tang Tang felt as if it were the entrance to heaven.

Her chapped lips trembled uncontrollably, and tears streamed down her face.

Liu Shiyun was sandwiched in the middle, her glasses nowhere to be found. Her severe myopia forced her to squint, and she only managed to stay upright thanks to the help of her companions on either side.

As for Zhou Xia, this rural girl was originally the one with the best physical strength, but at this moment she was also at her limit and was moving with difficulty.

Their training uniforms were already torn to shreds, and beneath the tattered strips of cloth were crisscrossing bloodstains and bruises.

That appearance was truly pitiful to behold.

"They're here!"

In the shade inside the gate, An Ran, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly stood up.

Beside her was a large first-aid kit and several bottles of warm saline solution.

When An Ran saw the three sisters in the distance, who were almost unrecognizable as human beings, her heart clenched.

"Poetic Charm! Tang Sugar!"

An Ran's eyes instantly reddened. Forgetting all about maintaining her composure as captain, she grabbed the first-aid kit and rushed out.

"Quick! The stretcher! Where's the stretcher!" she shouted hoarsely at the guards.

Hearing that familiar voice, the three people, who had been numb, seemed to be injected with their last bit of strength.

"Captain... Waaaaah..."

Tang Tang's legs went weak, and she knelt down on the ground, causing the other two to fall down with her.

The overwhelming sense of relief at finally being home burst forth, and the three girls hugged each other, wailing and crying on the scorching cement ground.

An Ran rushed to them, taking three steps at a time. When she saw Liu Shiyun's cramping thigh and Tang Tang's swollen face, her hands trembled so much that she couldn't even open the medicine bottle cap.

"It's alright, it's alright, we're at the base..." An Ran knelt on the ground, reaching out to wipe their wounds. "I'll take you to the infirmary now. The canteen has saved some braised pork for you, it's hot..."

Just as her fingers touched Liu Shiyun's tattered clothes, a black combat boot stepped down and stopped him.

An Ran's hand froze in mid-air as she looked up along the military trousers.

Chen Zheng had been standing to the side without anyone noticing.

He was still carrying his stainless steel thermos, his military uniform impeccably tailored.

"Instructor?" An Ran was stunned. "Let them get treatment first. What's wrong...?"

"No need." Chen Zheng's voice was quite calm. "Give them a change of clothes, pack their things, and send them back to where they came from."

He lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping coldly over the three people on the ground.

"Congratulations on coming back alive. Now, hand over your armbands; you've been removed from the Mulan name."

These words carry more weight than any form of corporal punishment.

The sound of the wind seemed to freeze at that moment.

Tangtang's crying stopped abruptly, her face, covered in snot bubbles, was blank.

Zhou Xia opened her mouth, but the words "I want to eat meat" that were stuck in her throat could no longer be uttered.

Even An Ran, who was extremely anxious, was completely dumbfounded.

"Except...removal from the list?"

Liu Shiyun was the first to react.

This physics master's student, who insisted on reasoning even in dire straits, suddenly struggled to get up.

"Why?!" Her voice was frighteningly hoarse. "Chen Zheng! Why are you firing us?!"

Liu Shiyun, her eyes bloodshot, pointed to her numerous wounds, then to the endless jungle behind her: "We did five hundred squats! We ran five kilometers of armed cross-country! Even a pack of wolves couldn't kill us!"

"We even finished your grueling training ahead of schedule! What gives you the right to let us go now?!"

They endured so much suffering, so much pain, and even abandoned their dignity, all just to stay, didn't they?

Is a mere dismissal now going to erase all their hard work?

"Yes, instructor!" An Ran also got anxious and suddenly stood up to block the three of them.

"Their physical fitness was a bit lacking, but they really gave it their all this time!"

"Liu Shiyun is a master's student from a prestigious university, Tang Tang is spoiled but never thought of giving up, and Zhou Xia is even more hardworking..."

An Ran spoke very quickly, with a hint of pleading in her voice.

"Mulan is currently short-staffed. Isn't it too hasty to eliminate such a talented person based on just one physical fitness test?"

"Besides...they were injured like that, they deserve credit for their hard work, even if they didn't achieve anything!"

Seeing An Ran's protectiveness, Chen Zheng couldn't help but laugh again.

"Talent? Hard work?" He took a step forward, staring intently into An Ran's eyes. "Captain An, do you think that special forces are a place where you can impress the enemy by simply moving yourself?"

After saying that, he ignored An Ran and slowly squatted down to look Liu Shiyun, who was slumped on the ground, at eye level.

Even though Liu Shiyun was in a terrible state, her eyes still burned with an indomitable spirit.

She firmly believes that she is being deliberately targeted.

Chen Zheng extended two fingers and grasped Liu Shiyun's armband, which was already teetering on the verge of falling off.

"You're not convinced? You think I'm settling a personal score?"

Liu Shiyun bit her lip tightly, but her stubborn expression said it all.

"Five hundred squats and a five-kilometer cross-country run—that's physical fitness, that's the threshold. To put it bluntly, even a monkey could do that after two months of training."

"But my soldier is a comrade-in-arms to whom I can entrust my back."

His voice paused, then grew even colder.

"Instead of three pieces of trash who would point guns at their teammates or even try to kick them into the wolf's mouth for a single spot."

Upon hearing this, the three faces, which had been filled with resentment and unwillingness, instantly lost all color.

That red letter, that red signal gun, that dark muzzle, and the marks of incontinence on Tang Tang's feet...

The extremely ugly scenes from before replayed in their minds like a movie.

They originally thought it was a secret known only to heaven and earth.

Even when Chen Zheng finally appeared, they subconsciously treated it as part of the training.

Now that we've escaped together, this chapter is closed.

Even if it's just a fake friendship, it can still be used after a wash.

But now, this last fig leaf has been ruthlessly torn off by Chen Zheng.

"The gun barrel is always pointed at the enemy, not at our own people."

Chen Zheng applied slight pressure with his fingers.

With a ripping sound, the armband representing Mulan's special forces identity was forcibly torn off.

"Instead of asking me why, ask yourselves what you have done."

He carefully tucked the armband into his pocket, stood up, and dusted off his hands, which were not actually covered in dust.

"If I keep this thing, I'll probably have to sleep with one eye open from now on."

Liu Shiyun felt as if all her bones had been removed, and she collapsed completely.
