Luo Chao found a familiar feeling in Liu Dahu, that unique cleanliness and decisiveness of a soldier, with not a hint of ssiness.
And from Liu Dahu's walking posture and the way he held the microphone, it was clear he was not as harmless as he appeared on the surface—a powerful warrior. One couldn't possibly rise to the rank of senior colonel without so genuine ability.
All the students, organized by each departnt's leaders, boarded the military trucks, ready to head to the army camp with a male teacher for the female students.
A truck could seat fifty people, and Luo Chao's computer science departnt had very few students to begin with, only three classes with fifty students each—just enough for a truck, unlike the languages or economic managent departnts that had to mix with other departnts due to their large numbers.
They had been strictly forbidden by Liu Dahu to make any noise, so everyone sat silently in the truck heading to their destination. However, Luo Chao could see the excitent in their eyes, as they were very curious about the army camp, having never experienced anything like it before.
Luo Chao shook his head with a wry smile, thinking, "You'll be crying later."
After all, he had been brought to the army camp as a teenager and was familiar with everything there. He had seen nurous recruits break down during training, crying their hearts out. Although the military training wouldn't be as severe, it was still not sothing these pampered students could easily endure.
"Screech—" The sound of brakes announced their arrival.
As expected, after everyone got off the truck, a thin and sharp military officer was already waiting for them in front of the vehicle.
"I'm Yuan Fei, your instructor for this class. I have only one requirent for you, which is to fully obey orders," the instructor said after Chen Dong organized the formation.
"Now, in our eyes, you are soldiers. I don't care what other instructors do, but I will train you by the standards for new recruits." Instructor Yuan Fei, with his hands behind his back, paced up and down in front of the formation, looking at the students standing in a standard at-ease position.
Suddenly, he stopped and yelled, "Everyone, turn left—run three-kiloter cross-country, march—go." He was swift and resolute, giving no ti for the students to take in the camp before diving straight into training.
After three kiloters, except for Luo Chao, Fei Yuan, and a few other students with better physical fitness, everyone else was exhausted.
"Get up, all of you, get up. Who allowed you to lie down? Go and jog another half kiloter."
After the jog, they had to stand in military posture under the sun, followed by a four-hundred-ter obstacle course. Instructor Yuan Fei indeed trained them completely by the new recruit standards, treating everyone the sa regardless of gender, with a harsh and unyielding deanor. Several female students couldn't endure and fainted, but the instructor rely took them to the dical office for a simple treatnt and sent them back to training. Privately, the students called him Yuan Iron Face.
After finally completing a day's training, Du Xin and Yang Wei had no appetite, feeling their stomach acids churn.
Fei Yuan also couldn't handle much, eating only a little.
Only Luo Chao was eating heartily and with relish.
He always thought the food at the camp wasn't bad at all.
"Brother Tian, we're exhausted like dogs, yet you're as if nothing happened, and we didn't even see you slack off," Du Xin wondered why Luo Chao had such a good appetite.
"I've often exercised in the past," Luo Chao answered vaguely.
"Oh." Du Xin didn't probe further, too tired and sore all over.
"I advise you to eat sothing, otherwise you'll suffer later at night. You've expended a lot of energy, and if you don't replenish it, tomorrow will be even tougher," Luo Chao advised.
"Luo Chao's right. Tomorrow, who knows what that Yuan Iron Face might do to us. Just eat," Yang Wei sighed with his glasses.
Seeing this, Luo Chao just smiled without saying anything further.
As night fell, everyone went to sleep, but Luo Chao silently put on his clothes and left the shared dormitory prepared for the students. He headed toward the instructors' quarters.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
The sound of knocking was heard, and the door was quietly opened from the inside, allowing Luo Chao to slip inside imdiately.
The person who opened the door glanced around quickly, and it was indeed Yuan Iron Face Yuan Fei, the instructor for Luo Chao and his group.
Seeing no one was around, Yuan Fei swiftly closed the door.
"Instructor!" The call did not co from Luo Chao. There was no third person in the room. Yes, Yuan Fei addressed Luo Chao as instructor.
While serving in the military, Luo Chao was not only a three-ti Soldier King awardee and captain of Huaxia's top special team, The Dark Stab, but also an instructor for the Huaxia Ard Special Brigade. Yuan Fei was once one of his soldiers.
"When I saw you were the new students' instructor, I knew sothing was up. Tell , what tricky job is the top brass dumping on this ti?" Luo Chao sat on a chair, picked up a teapot from the table, poured himself a cup, and drank it in one go. "Dinner was a bit salty."
"Hehe, Instructor, you're indeed insightful. Nothing can be hidden from you." Yuan Fei's deanor had completely shifted from the iron-faced impartiality of the dayti as he flattered Luo Chao with a grin.
"Enough, cut the act. You're not here on Chen Uncle's orders for nothing, so out with it, you clairvoyant crap." Luo Chao wasn't buying it.
Yuan Fei didn't appear embarrassed at being called out by Luo Chao but eagerly moved closer, "I knew flattery wouldn't move you. Back in the Special Brigade, I admired you greatly, your heroic figure engraved in my heart, your power completely conquered …."
If the students saw their instructor's current attitude, they'd think they were dreaming. They'd never believe Instructor Yuan Fei could have this side to him.
Luo Chao was familiar enough with Yuan Fei's character but still found it unbearable. "Damn it, shut up. I can't stand you. A grown man, an elite special forces soldier, where on earth did you learn this technique?"
Feeling goosebumps all over, Luo Chao cursed loudly, "If you dare use that tone with again, I'll beat you to a pulp."
Yuan Fei, still unwilling to end his speech of admiration, felt slightly wronged, as he had only begun to express his deep reverence for Luo Chao.
"Hurry up and tell what Chen Uncle sent you to do. I don't want to spend another second with you," Luo Chao snarled, his anger unabated.
"Instructor, it seems you won't get your wish. General Chen sent to assist you in completing this task." Yuan Fei seed a bit excited; the thrill of working alongside Luo Chao from last ti still fresh in his mind. With Luo Chao watching his back, he felt an unprecedented sense of security!
Luo Chao furrowed his brow and asked, "Just the two of us? Isn't the Dark Stab involved?"
