Chapter 821: Tyrant?

Yan Three and his team members followed Qi Long and Xie Yi to the training ground. When they arrived there, it was already filled with many people. From their attire, Yan Three knew that they were logisticians. He felt confused. He didn’t see any mecha operators the entire time he was here. ‘Are the mecha operators at some other special training ground?’

A young and handsome major was flipping through a logbook in the middle of the training ground. The two medics leading them saw the major and immediately hurried over with bright smiles.

“Zhong-qing, are you in charge of today’s training?” Qi Long was elated. It looked that they managed to escape Boss’s punishment today.

Lin Zhong-qing looked up. He stared at them curiously before raising the logbook in his hand and counting towards it. “I’m in charge of Evil Wind’s training.” Qi Long and Xie Yi were not part of his responsibilities.

Qi Long’s expression dropped. “Not you? Is it really our Boss?”

Xie Yi frowned too. He didn’t want to see his Boss. His boss was an impartial person so he definitely wouldn’t listen to their reasons for not training in these past few days.

Lin Zhong-qing looked at Qi Long with a peculiar expression after hearing what he said.

Qi Long thought that Lin Zhong-qing didn’t know what situation they were in so he smiled bitterly and explained, “We were helping Brother s.h.i.+yu in the medical department for the past few days. We were so busy helping him so we didn’t have time to train. Just now, Brother Feng said that Boss is waiting for us here.” Qi Long couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver when he thought about this.

Xie Yi leaned on Lin Zhong-qing’s shoulder and cried, “Zhong-qing, you should know that if we land in our Boss’s hands, based on his tyrannic methods, we will be dead.”

“Tyrannic?” A cold voice sounded behind them. “How tyrannic?”

Xie Yi turned and answered at the same time, “Do you know what is a tyrant? Boss is a tyra…” Xie Yi suddenly saw Ling Lan standing behind him and smiling at him. His tongue got stuck in the back of his tongue. He just kept repeating the word tyrant.

“Tyrant, tyrant…” Ling Lan knocked the silver whip on her palm and slowly said.

Lin Zhong-qing looked at Xie Yi and Qi Long helplessly. He had tried to hint them with his eyes but the two of them didn’t notice it. Lin Zhong-qing didn’t see his Boss at the start. By the time he saw his Boss, he was already behind Qi Long and Xie Yi. His boss signaled for him to keep quiet so he could only use his eyes to hint Xie Yi and Qi Long. However, the two idiots didn’t receive his message.

Qi Long, who was shocked too, managed to regain his senses. “Boss, how can you be a tyrant? You must have heard wrongly.” Qi Long decided that he would not admit it no matter what. If not, they would definitely be tortured until their last breath, and Brother s.h.i.+yu would then save them with his agents and their Boss would continue torturing them until he vented his anger out.

Qi Long’s humble-looking face looked really funny when he was lying. Ling Lan purposely asked, “What did you two say then?”

Qi Long was dumbfounded. “Erm…” Cold sweat formed on his forehead. He nudged Xie Yi forcefully to remind him that this was not the time to feel scared. He should think of a way out of this predicament first. ‘Sob, why isn’t Jijyun beside me? If Jijyun was here, he will be able to find a good reason to escape punishment. I wouldn’t have to be so agitated if he was here.’

Xie Yi regained his composure after Qi Long nudged him. He gathered his wits and said hurriedly, “We are saying that you are like a king who cares about his people.”

Ling Lan was speechless as these two people were just talking nonsense. She snorted. “Qi Long, Xie Yi!”

“Yes!” The two of them immediately straightened their bodies.

“You miss three consecutive days of training. Your training will be doubled as a punishment and you will have to complete it with six times of the normal training load. If you can’t finish it, you will not go back tomorrow.” Ling Lan directly announced her punishment. As for them talking behind her back, she would take revenge slowly in the future. As a lady, she bore grudges.

“Yes!” The two people heaved a sigh of relief when their boss left immediately after announcing their punishment. They felt as if they had come back from the brink of death.

“Six times.” Lin Zhong-qing reminded them thoughtfully. It was not easy to complete it with six times of the training load.

Qi Long gasped. He made a prompt and resolute decision. “Zhong-qing, please prepare the best restorative agent for us and three big portions of food.” They would definitely be on the verge of collapsing after going through training with six times of the training load. They would probably have to crawl out of the training ground.

“Don’t worry. I’ll prepare everything for you,” Lin Zhong-qing replied. Then, he looked at them pitifully as they carried 250kg of weight and started their training.

‘Do they think that everything will end today?’ Lin Zhong-qing shook his head as he looked at their silhouettes. Qi Long and Xie Yi thought that they had escaped from their Boss’s revenge but he saw a faint smile on his Boss’s face just now. He knew that their real punishment was just starting.

“Wish you two good luck.” As their comrade, Lin Zhong-qing gave them his blessing and walked towards the members of Evil Wind.

The members of Evil Wind were astounded by the intensity of the logistician’s training. ‘Is that really a mission for logisticians? Our training is not even worth mentioning when compared to theirs.’

“Major Li should have told you all the mission for today, right? These are the weights. The lightest is 15kg followed by 25kg, 40kg, 50kg, 60kg, all the way to 150kg. There are the special weights for team leaders which weigh 250kg. You do not have to care about the other weights for now, just put on the 15kg weights and run for two hours. You cannot stop, sit down, or collapse during the run. You are given three chances to have a one minute slow walk. You can use all three chances at one go too and make it into a three minutes slow walk. Once you used up all your chances, your points will be deducted the moment you walk again. Once you go below the pa.s.sing mark, you will fail the mission,” Lin Zhong-qing explained to them.

“You should know that you all only have three chances of failure. One you exceed, you will be sent back to the medical department. I’m sure you all know what the consequences are. I hope that you all will complete the mission.” Lin Zhong-qing told them what they would be doing today. He disregarded the pale and fearful faces of the members of Evil Wind and asked the guards of the training ground to lead them to the weights section.

If anyone walked slowly, the guards would poke them with their electric prod so the members of Evil Wind didn’t dare to waste any time dawdling.
