Li s.h.i.+yu looked at Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong. He nodded and got up. He went to the cabinet at the side and took out two bottles of agent. Then, he took two syringes and sucked up the agent.
“Arm,” Li s.h.i.+yu said calmly.
Yang Mingzhi rolled up his sleeve. Li s.h.i.+yu injected him with the agent. He took the other syringe and injected Liu Furong.
After that, he took two ropes from the back of his table and said to Qi Long and Zhao Jun, “Have them lie on the bed and tie them up. This will prevent them from hurting themselves.”
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong felt their hearts jumped. “What kind of agent did you give us?”
“A good one. It will let you recover in 12 hours.” Li s.h.i.+yu replied calmly, “Of course, since the agent is a bit stronger, there would be more pain. I’m worried that you two won’t be able to withstand the side effects of the medicine. If you hurt yourself, my precious medicine will be wasted.”
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong didn’t believe Li s.h.i.+yu entirely. However, Qi Long and Zhao Jun trusted him so they immediately pushed the two people on the bed. Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong wanted to struggle but they realized that they couldn’t exert any energy. They looked at Li s.h.i.+yu angrily. “What did you inject into our body?”
Li s.h.i.+yu was irritated. “I said that it’s good medicine. Oh, there is some anesthesia inside it too. It is to prevent you from hurting yourselves.”
“Since there is anesthesia in the agent, why are you still tying us up?” Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong felt that something was amiss. They watched as Zhao Jun and Qi Long tied them up on the bed.
“This anesthesia works for normal mecha operators but I’m not sure if they work on you. Hence, it is safer to tie you two up,” Li s.h.i.+yu said indifferently.
Yang Mingzhi wanted to say something but, he suddenly felt excruciating pain. Every single part of his body was trembling in pain. His expression turned hideous.
Ever since he finished building up his tolerance against the effects of medicines, this was the first time he felt such tremendous pain. He started cursing. He gritted his teeth and forced a word out of his mouth. “Why?”
Li s.h.i.+yu raised his eyebrows. “Why what? Why is it so painful when your body already built tolerance against medicine?”
Yang Mingzhi nodded. This simple action required all his effort.
“The medicines you took in the past were destroying your body. Hence, your body is used to the pain caused by the destruction of your body. However, my medicine is different. It doesn’t destroy to heal. It improves your body’s natural healing system.”
“Why?” Yang Mingzhi was not satisfied with the explanation. He forced himself to speak again. This still didn’t explain why he was experiencing such unbearable pain.
“I just increased your natural healing ability by a few thousand times. Normally, your cells multiply once every day. Now, they multiply a few thousand times every day. Since the speed of regeneration increased, the pain experienced during healing will be amplified more than a thousand times too. Since it is a natural form of healing, your body does not recognize it as medicine…” Li s.h.i.+yu continued, “Tolerance against the effects of medicines has loopholes. This was what I found after doing much research. Congratulations, Senior Colonel Yang, you are the first tester for this medicine.”
“Why?” Yang Mingzhi asked the third time. Why was Li s.h.i.+yu treating them like this?
“Our captain never does anything for no reason. Since he did this to you, you must have done something wrong. Since you are in the wrong, you must be punished,” Li s.h.i.+yu replied.
“So you punished us for your captain?” Liu Furong asked painfully. Why did they land themselves in the hands of a fan of their regiment commander? They felt wronged.
Li s.h.i.+yu was shocked. “What are you all saying? Why would I punish you all for the sake of my captain? That is what our regiment commander should do, not me.”
“Then why are we experiencing such torture? Ah!” Liu Furong felt really uncomfortable. He screamed in agony.
Li s.h.i.+yu replied, “So that you can recover in 12 hours and be ready for the month training tomorrow. That is the real punishment. I will not let you run away from the training because of your injuries.”
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong were stunned. So that’s why? He treated them so that they could attend the monthly training and be tortured tomorrow?
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong were in so much pain, they were unable to think properly. They fainted. On the bright side, they wouldn’t feel the pain anymore.
When they woke up the next morning, the ropes had disappeared. Two beautiful ladies were attending them. One of the ladies looked at them shyly and noticed that they were awake. Before she could say anything, the other healthy-looking beauty came in with two metal boxes and put them on the table heavily.
“Your breakfast. Hurry up and eat it. If not, you will have to go for your month training on an empty stomach,” The healthy-looking lady shouted at them.
The shy lady was afraid that they would misunderstand them so she said, “It’s already 6.45 am. Brother s.h.i.+yu said that you two will wake up between 6.40am and 6.45am so we prepared breakfast for you two.”
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong were confused. This was a totally different scenario compared to the one yesterday. Was this a trap or were they trying to make up for yesterday?
There was no time for them to think further. They opened the metal box and gobbled down the food. Within two minutes, they finished their breakfast. Not one bit was left. After they put down their metal boxes, they realized that their injuries, which normally needs at least three months to recover, healed in 12 hours. They didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
They were elated. They inspected their bodies with their Qi-Jin energy. Their injuries were really healed. Also, their body was in a better state than before. Some old injuries were healed too.
The medicine that Li s.h.i.+yu invented was indeed impressive. It even cured injuries and illnesses military doctors couldn’t cure. Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong felt complicated. If the medicine didn’t have such a painful side effect, it would be much better.
“Bang, bang, bang!” The sudden knocks on the door frightened Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong. They looked over. Li s.h.i.+yu stood at the doorway with his arms crossed around his chest. He said calmly, “Since you all helped me with my experiment, I will give you two a friendly reminder. No matter what happens, listen to our regiment commander.”
“There are 10 minutes left until the gathering time. Don’t be late on the first day,” Li s.h.i.+yu said.
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong regained their senses. They had no time to waste. They quickly got off the bed and disappeared from the hospital.
“Brother s.h.i.+yu, how many people do you think can survive the first day of boss’s devil training?” Han Xuya asked curiously.
Li s.h.i.+yu knocked on her forehead. “I only know that we have a war to fight today.” He walked out and started preparing for the day.
Han Xuya was confused. She asked Luo Chao, “Luo Chao, what does Brother s.h.i.+yu mean?”
Luo Chao smiled gently. “Brother s.h.i.+yu meant that there would be many people sent to the hospital later. We should prepare for it.” She walked out of the room and helped Li s.h.i.+yu to prepare the medicines.
Han Xuya thought for a moment and finally understood what Li s.h.i.+yu meant. She sighed. “I knew that many people will be unable to handle the training. No way! The three of us can’t handle this. I will go and look for help.”
Han Xuya rushed out of the room and went to the male dormitory. She pulled all the members of Lingtian out of their beds. Even Chang Xinyuan, who was in his modification chamber, modifying a mecha, got pulled out by Han Xuya.
When Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong arrived at the training ground, many mecha operators were already there. They scanned their surroundings. The mecha operators that were present yesterday came. A portion of those that weren’t present yesterday came too. The other portion didn’t.
More than 200 mecha operators stood at the training ground. However, they only filled up a small corner of it. This training ground was built based on the size of a normal mecha clan. It was able to accommodate 1500 mecha operators.
The time reached 7 am. Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong noticed that more than 30 mecha operators hadn’t arrived. They frowned. They couldn’t help but feel worried.
Clear footsteps sounded at the entrance. A group of soldiers wearing the 250 Mecha Clan uniform marched in an orderly manner.
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong looked over and recognized some people in the group. Qi Long, Zhao Jun, and Li Yingjie were present. Luo Lang and Xie Yi, who had been with them for the past two months, were in the group too. The other two people who came back with Ling Lan yesterday and Han Jijyun was also there.
After they stepped through the door, they spread out and formed a line. They placed their hands behind their back and stared at the mecha operators intently.
Another set of footsteps sounded. A cold figure appeared at the door. It was Ling Lan.
She wore her Major uniform with a pair of brand new military boots. She looked prim and proper. The only difference from her look yesterday was the short whip in her hand. It made her looked more malicious.
