26: Chapter 26 Even Jesus can't save you! I'm telling you!

"Quiet, everyone!"

Company Commander Zhou Hailong's roar exploded in the ears of all the recruits like a thunderclap.

The entire field fell silent.

"Qin Feng!"

"Here!"

Qin Feng stood at attention, his posture ramrod straight.

"I ask you, do you know you were wrong?"

The two words "know you were wrong" exploded in everyone's minds like a bomb.

The whole crowd was in an uproar!

"What's going on? Brother Feng won the competition, saved a comrade, and retrieved the gun. What did he do wrong?"

"Exactly! Did the Company Commander make a mistake?"

Zhao Hu was the first who couldn't hold back; he stepped out and reported loudly.

"Report, Company Commander! I don't understand! What exactly did student Qin Feng do wrong?"

"That's right, Company Commander!" Li Lang was anxious too.

"Brother Feng saved Tang Yun; that's a righteous act!"

"He risked his life to retrieve the rifle; that's an embodiment of a soldier's sense of honor!"

"If anything, he deserves credit. How can you say he was wrong?"

Company Commander Zhou Hailong swept a cold gaze over them.

"Merit is merit, and fault is fault!"

"I will request recognition for his merit! But his fault must be punished!"

He looked at Qin Feng again and raised his voice.

"I ask you! In the A Thread of Sky section, did you hear the order issued by the drone?"

"Report, Company Commander, yes!"

"Did the order tell you to disobey military orders to pick up the gun?"

"No!"

"I'll ask you again! When you were preparing to go down the cliff to pick up the gun, did I order you through the microphone to stop your dangerous behavior immediately and return to the track?"

"Report, Company Commander, yes!"

"And did you execute it?"

"No!"

Company Commander Zhou Hailong slapped his thigh hard and roared, "You dare to disobey military orders!"

"On the battlefield, not following commands and acting on your own—do you know what consequences that would cause?"

"Do you know how much danger your behavior will bring to the entire The Military in the future?"

"Military orders are like mountains! In The Military, disobeying orders is the greatest crime!"

Company Commander Zhou Hailong's voice resounded across the field, every word striking the hearts of everyone present.

Only then did everyone realize.

That's right!

Although Qin Feng did a good deed, he did indeed disobey orders from his superiors twice.

In an army with strict discipline, this was absolutely an unforgivable mistake.

Zhao Hu and Li Lang were sweating profusely, yet they had no way to refute it.

Just then, a snide voice rang out.

"The Company Commander is right! Military orders are like mountains; how can they be treated as child's play! Qin Feng openly defied military orders; he deserves to be punished."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

They saw Wei Kai speaking in a "righteous" manner from the crowd.

"Company Commander, I think this matter must be handled strictly; there must be no leniency!"

Shi Lei also limped over and chimed in loudly.

"That's right! Company Commander, this matter must be handled strictly! Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, in the future, everyone will dare to defy military orders!"

Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, Wei Kai curled his lips into an imperceptible cold sneer and continued:

"I remember last month, there was a troublemaker in our New Recruit Training Camp who also didn't follow commands and violated military orders during live-fire shooting, which resulted in extremely severe consequences."

He paused deliberately to help everyone recall.

"It is said that the recruit was a female student, and in order to enforce military discipline, wasn't she executed on the spot by the Company Commander right there?"

"Hiss!"

The others from the New Recruit Training Camp heard this and gasped in unison.

Executed?!

These two words were too shocking, and all the recruits were scared pale.

Watching the crowd's reaction, Wei Kai felt a wave of pleasure; this was the effect he wanted.

He stepped forward, turned to Company Commander Zhou Hailong, and shouted in an extremely incitive tone:

"Qin Feng has disobeyed military orders twice; the circumstances are extremely serious! The impact is extremely negative!"

"If he isn't punished severely, how can we convince the masses? How can we uphold military law?"

"I, Wei Kai! Strongly request that the Company Commander follow precedent and execute Qin Feng!"

"For the honor of our Fifth Military Region, and for the safety of all recruits!"

He took a deep breath, strained his voice, and roared out the words he had been brewing for a long time.

"Company Commander, please issue the order to execute Qin Feng on the spot! Let this serve as a warning to others!"

"Company Commander, please issue the order to execute Qin Feng!"

Shi Lei also said these words!

The two of them were like they had planned it, their words causing a monstrous wave.

Countless recruits were shocked on the spot!

"Sigh, Qin Feng is in trouble now. Military orders are like mountains; the army values this the most."

"But he was also saving someone, picking up the gun; can that even be considered wrong?"

"Rules are rules; you can't make exceptions just because you're a hero, otherwise who will listen to orders in the future?"

"Executed? Did I hear that right? They want to execute Qin Feng?"

"But... but Wei Kai said to execute him, isn't that going too far? This is training, not a real battlefield."

"Who knows, we don't understand the rules of The Military, but it sounds pretty scary anyway."

"Will Qin Feng really be executed? He was so cool just a moment ago, and now he's going to..."

Various guesses and discussions spread through the crowd, and fear began to envelop many people.

They looked at Qin Feng's figure, sweating for him in their hearts.

Zhao Hu, Li Lang, and Liu Wei were all sweating profusely, fearing that the Company Commander would actually issue the order.

Seeing the reaction on the scene, Wei Kai and Shi Lei looked at each other, both of them secretly overjoyed.

Qin Feng, oh Qin Feng.

Aren't you arrogant?

Aren't you capable?

Didn't you treat me like a monkey?

Let's see how arrogant you can be now!

With the big hat of "military orders are like mountains" pressed down on you, even if you don't die this time, you'll lose a layer of skin!

Wei Kai's mouth curled upward involuntarily, and he felt waves of pleasure in his heart.

He felt as if all the pores on his body had opened up, as if he had drunk a bottle of ice-cold cola, feeling refreshed from head to toe.

"Company Commander, hurry up and give the order to execute Qin Feng!"

Wei Kai's voice was loud, and he began to twist the knife.

He deliberately raised his volume to ensure everyone heard clearly.

Shi Lei chimed in loudly, his voice filled with a morbid excitement.

"Execute Qin Feng!"

"Execute Qin Feng!"

"Execute Qin Feng!"

...

At this moment.

Shi Lei's heart was also filled with the pleasure of revenge.

He looked at Qin Feng's back, wishing Qin Feng would eat a "peanut" right there on the spot.

Damn it, you made me limp while walking, and now it's finally your turn to be unlucky, Qin Feng!

Military orders are like mountains; let's see how you turn this around!

Execute you, you bastard!

Zhao Hu, Li Lang, and Liu Wei's faces turned deathly pale instantly.

"Company Commander! Qin Feng didn't do it on purpose!" Zhao Hu stamped his feet in anxiety.

"That's right, Company Commander! He saved Tang Yun and retrieved the gun! He is a hero!"

Li Lang couldn't care less about anything else and screamed at the top of his lungs.

Although Liu Wei was not good with words, his face flushed red, and he stammered:

"Brother Feng... he... he didn't do anything wrong!"

The three were extremely anxious.

Executed?

Is this a joke?

Qin Feng saved someone and performed a great service; how could he be executed for this?

Wei Kai and Shi Lei, these two dogs, were clearly settling a personal vendetta, wanting to use this opportunity to get rid of Qin Feng!

Company Commander Zhou Hailong turned a deaf ear to their pleas; he just looked at Qin Feng coldly, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Wei Kai and Shi Lei felt even more smug.

Looking at it this way, the Company Commander was going to handle this impartially and would not change his mind because of the pleas of a few recruits.

Qin Feng, you're dead this time!

Not even Jesus can save you!

I said so!
