As they expected, the big boss wore camouflage trousers, a loose camouflage jacket with upright collar zipped up to the chin. He was wearing a black mask and a boonie hat.
They had never before seen someone who could exude such an aura while wearing a boonie hat. He seemed like the ruthless type. There were no logos on him. All they could see was a fine-looking face.
Gu Mang stuffed her hands in her pockets. A camouflage backpack hung on her shoulder as she walked towards Xing Zhi, her gait unrestrained. Xing Zhi was calm and posed in front of the trainees yesterday.
But upon seeing Gu Mang, Xing Zhi walked a few steps forward, restraining his fierce personality as he said with a smile, “Silence.”
Xing Zhi was quite afraid of the big boss. He was the one who tortured the big boss back then. Red Flame wasn’t a disreputable organization. Even though they could be ruthless, they had their limits too. Thus, they hadn’t violated Silence’s privacy back then by taking off his mask.
After all, those in Enforcement Hall were all men and they had no interest in what a man looked like. But at the time, the big boss was really something. If it had been someone else they would have died during interrogation.
But the big boss survived. In the end, their boss didn’t know what to do with Silence and they almost tried to kill her.
Now the big boss could be regarded as a partial member of the Red Flame. If the big boss tried to get revenge for the previous tortue, Xing Zhi wouldn’t be able to beat him even with backup. Xing Zhi felt tense.
The group of ten were stunned as they watched from the side.
Damned! Brother Xing was afraid of this big boss?! Just how sick was this big boss? !
Gu Mang regarded Xing Zhi and said casually in a raspy mumble, “Hall Master Xing.”
Xing Zhi smiled. “Are you going to rest first or are you going to start the training right away?”
Gu Mang slouched and stood with bent legs. “Some things are more fun at night.”
The ten trainees were silent. They felt their hearts rise to their throats. They were not afraid of the dark, but they had a had feeling upon hearing Big Boss talk about it.
Xing Zhi was a little surprised. Normally the big boss would start training as soon as he arrived. He would end and leave early as well. This time he was doing things differently?
He pondered quickly and soon snapped out of it as he looked at Gu Mang. “Alright. Please go to your room to rest, then.”
Gu Mang hummed in response and she walked leisurely down to the wooden huts deeper in the forests. She didn’t even spare a look at the trainees but they were staring at Gu Mang all the while.
Her aura was too strong, imposing, and aloof. They waited until Gu Mang had walked away.
Xing Zhi went up to the group, squinting in the direction Gu Mang had left in. “Congratulations, the big boss is probably changing up the training programme this time.”
Their expressions changed immediately.
The round-faced girl looked sullen. “Brother Xing, how many of us are going to die?”
After all, they were dealing with real guns and ammo. Silence’s training could be fatal.
Xing Zhi thought for a moment. “The first time, four died. The second time, three. And last year, four died.”
He spoke indifferently, as though some random animals had died and not real living people.
But such was training. Only the strong survived.
Hearing the news, the group was dumbfounded. Nearly half of the team died?! That was too high a casualty rate! Out of one thousand people, only about six or seven survived until the end?!
Xing Zhi shifted his weight. “Okay, stop standing around. Go back and prepare your will. Pass them to me before lunch.”
With that said, he left as well. The group was left with their mouths twitching.
It was not that they were afraid of death. It would just suck to die on the training ground.
