41: Chapter 41 A knock on the door in the middle of the night! Instructor, what are you sleeping for? Get up and party!
Late at night.
The Wilderness Base was plunged into dead silence.
Only the pale beams of searchlights swept back and forth.
From the darkness in the distance, the occasional shrill roars of demonic beasts could be heard, making one's scalp tingle.
Inside the freshman dormitory building, a chorus of snoring thundered.
The "knock-down" from earlier in the day had been truly brutal.
Five times the gravity for a full half hour had left these pampered students wishing they were dead.
Right now, they were all sleeping like dead pigs, impossible to wake up even with thunder.
Meanwhile, in Dorm 302.
Lin Fan lay with his eyes wide open, staring at the bottom of the upper bunk with a look of utter despair.
He couldn't sleep.
He absolutely couldn't sleep.
His body was filled with the energy he had absorbed during the day, and every single cell was as active as if it had been supercharged.
They were all clamoring, "I want to get hit," and "I want to level up."
"So boring."
"Is this what you call hellish training?"
"There isn't even a night raid, zero stars!"
Lin Fan rolled over, causing the bed frame to creak.
The fatty in the next bed muttered in his sleep: "Mom... I don't want to eat carrots..."
Lin Fan sighed and leaped down from his bed.
He was wearing his signature SpongeBob SquarePants boxers.
He slipped out of the dormitory without a sound.
The hallway was quiet.
Like a ghost, Lin Fan wandered downstairs.
Since the instructor wasn't coming to cause trouble for him, he had no choice but to go and cause trouble himself.
"Where does Instructor Lei Zhan live again?"
Lin Fan rubbed his chin, his gaze locking onto the independent building in the very center of the base.
It was heavily guarded, with two armed sentries standing at the entrance.
It was clearly the place where the boss lived.
"Hehe."
Lin Fan grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
He avoided the sentries' line of sight and circled to the back of the building.
The wall here was five meters high and topped with a high-voltage electric fence.
But in Lin Fan's eyes, this was just for show.
He took two steps back, took a running start, and scrambled up to the top of the wall in a few quick movements.
Zzzzt!
The high-voltage electric fence was triggered instantly.
Blue electric arcs danced across his body.
[Ding! Suffered high-voltage electric shock! Defense +10!]
[Ding! Lightning resistance slightly increased!]
"Oh~, comfortable."
Lin Fan shuddered, shivering all over with an expression of pure enjoyment.
This free electrotherapy was too good not to use.
He vaulted over the wall, landed silently, and climbed up the drainpipe to the second floor.
A window on the second floor was cracked open, and the sound of steady breathing came from inside.
Lin Fan poked his head in to look.
He saw Instructor Lei Zhan lying on a single bed.
He was wearing only a tank top, revealing a body covered in scars and rippling muscles.
Even while sleeping, the guy still had one hand resting on the pistol under his pillow.
His vigilance was quite high.
Lin Fan chuckled, gently pushed open the window, and slipped inside like a big cat.
He wasn't in a rush to act.
Instead, he walked to the bedside and squatted down.
He stared at Instructor Lei Zhan's fierce-looking face for a while.
Then, he extended a finger and lightly poked the rock-hard muscle on Instructor Lei Zhan's arm.
"Instructor?"
"Wake up."
"Get up and have fun."
Who was Instructor Lei Zhan?
He was a soldier king who had crawled out of a pile of corpses!
The moment Lin Fan's finger touched him, he woke up.
The instinct of being targeted by a wild beast made the hairs on his body stand on end.
"Who?!"
Instructor Lei Zhan reacted extremely quickly, without even needing to look.
He instantly drew the pistol from under his pillow and fired a shot toward the bedside.
Bang!
The muzzle spat flames.
At such close range, the special armor-piercing bullet was enough to penetrate steel plates.
Clang!
A crisp sound of metal striking metal rang out.
The bullet hit Lin Fan's forehead, sparking a string of sparks.
Then it ricocheted off and embedded itself into the nearby wall.
Lin Fan rubbed the red mark on his forehead with a look of resentment.
"Instructor, why are you playing for real?"
"This is a bit much, isn't it? You have such a bad temper when you wake up?"
Only then did Instructor Lei Zhan see the person in front of him clearly.
By the moonlight outside the window, he saw the guy wearing SpongeBob SquarePants boxers, squatting by his bedside and grinning at him.
Instructor Lei Zhan almost dropped the gun in his hand.
"Lin Fan?!"
"How did you get in?!"
"What do you want to do?!"
Instructor Lei Zhan was completely stunned.
This was a military restricted area!
There were two guard posts outside, and a high-voltage electric fence on the wall.
How did this kid manage to sneak into his room without anyone noticing?
And... he actually caught a bullet with his head?!
Lin Fan scratched his head, looking innocent: "What do I want to do? I don't want to do anything."
"I just couldn't sleep."
"I'm itchy."
"I wanted to ask the instructor to scratch it for me."
Instructor Lei Zhan: "???"
Scratching an itch?
In the middle of the night, you climbed over a wall, took a bullet to the head, just to have me scratch an itch for you?
Are you sick?!
"Get out!" Instructor Lei Zhan roared, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
"Don't be like that, Instructor."
Not only did Lin Fan not leave, but he also pushed his luck and sat on the edge of Instructor Lei Zhan's bed.
"Look, the night is long, and I have no desire to sleep."
"Instead of wasting this great time sleeping, why don't we do some meaningful exercise?"
"For example... finish the set of punches you didn't finish during the day?"
"I counted, you kept at least ninety percent of your strength during the day."
"Are you looking down on me?"
"Come on, hit me."
"Harder!"
As Lin Fan said this, he even proactively leaned his face forward, looking like a shameless person "begging to be abused."
Instructor Lei Zhan looked at the punchable face in front of him.
His mentality completely collapsed.
He had been in the Wilderness for so many years, seen ferocious demonic beasts, seen treacherous enemies, and even seen reckless madmen.
But he had never seen this kind of... this kind of pervert!
"Lin Fan!!!" Instructor Lei Zhan roared, this time truly angry.
Boom!
The aura of a Level 6 Martial Saint erupted completely.
The entire small building trembled.
Instructor Lei Zhan exploded from the bed, his muscles bulging, and punched toward Lin Fan's face.
This punch carried red Qi, and the air was compressed to the extreme.
"Thunder Kill: Mountain Crushing Fist!"
Lin Fan's eyes lit up.
"That's more like it!"
"Come, come, come! Hit here!"
He didn't dodge or evade, but instead leaned into the punch.
Bang!!!
With a loud noise, a large hole was blasted directly through the second-floor wall.
Lin Fan flew out like a cannonball.
He snapped two large trees in the courtyard and finally slammed into the ground of the Training Ground.
Dust and smoke rose everywhere.
The entire base was instantly awakened.
Alarms blared loudly.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Countless searchlights instantly focused on Instructor Lei Zhan's building.
Heavily armed soldiers and disheveled students rushed out one after another.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Did the demonic beasts break in?"
Everyone looked in horror at the large hole in the wall, and at Instructor Lei Zhan, who stood at the opening, radiating red light like a god of slaughter.
"This... is this Instructor Lei?"
"What happened?"
Just when everyone was completely confused, in a pile of ruins in the distance, a hand pushed away the bricks on top.
Lin Fan crawled out, covered in dirt and dust.
He spat out the mud in his mouth and wiped the blood off his face.
Then, under the gaze of thousands of eyes, he shouted at Instructor Lei Zhan upstairs:
"Instructor! That punch was powerful!"
"I finally feel something!"
"But it's still a bit lacking!"
"Can you hit me with something stronger?"
"I want to see that... right! I want to see your ultimate move!"
The whole scene was dead silent.
A cold wind blew, carrying dead leaves.
Everyone was left in a daze in the wind.
Xia Wanqiu stood in the crowd wearing pajamas, watching the figure that was still clamoring in the ruins.
She covered her face, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
I really don't want to say I know you...
