76: Truth or Dare

Chen Muye got into the car, looking distraught, ready to return to the Peacekeeping Bureau.

Wen Qimo noticed Chen Muye's unusual expression and asked, "Captain, you seem to have something on your mind. Are you worried about something happening at the Training Camp again?"

Chen Muye shook his head. "It's nothing. Just drive!"

The bumpy road seemed to mirror Chen Muye's current mood.

Song Zhong and Yuan Gang had a fight, and they directly fought with the head of the Training Camp!

Chen Muye was on the verge of tears. This guy really didn't mind making a big deal out of things!

"Sigh! I hope that after this incident, no more accidents will occur at the Training Camp."

"Haha, Captain, don't worry. This is the Training Camp. One incident is already an accident. How could there be a second one?" Wen Qimo replied.

"I hope so!"

At the Training Camp, all the new recruits had assembled on the parade ground. The familiar yet unfamiliar Mu Dong naturally caught everyone's attention.

And Mu Dong had also figured out what had happened earlier.

Instructor Han stood in front of the team. "This afternoon's subject is extreme training. From now on, you must conserve your physical strength. Everyone, get in the cars now!"

Lin Qi Ye, Bai Li Pang Pang, and Cao Yuan squeezed into the last row of seats.

The car stopped not long after, at Jin'nan Mountain.

"Everyone, get out of the car!"

Instructor Han, with his hands behind his back, began to announce the training content.

"Your next task is to put on a 35-kilogram load and Transmigrate this area, from point A to point B."

Cao Yuan frowned. "Isn't this just ordinary weighted cross-country? What's so extreme about it?"

Bai Li Pang Pang looked utterly defeated. "Cao Yuan, are you speaking human language? Isn't weighted cross-country extreme enough? My legs feel weak already."

"It won't be that simple!" Lin Qi Ye suddenly said. "Look!"

Sure enough, Instructor Han made a gesture to another instructor.

Suddenly, a large group of drones emerged from the surrounding woods.

And each drone carried a miniature machine gun underneath.

"Rookies, the loads on your bodies have positioning functions. Once the training begins, these drones will start hunting you."

"Once you are hit by a colored paint gun, a very, very cruel punishment awaits you."

"Next, I will emphasize a few points to note."

"First, the loads on your bodies can be exchanged, but they cannot be discarded. Each load corresponds to an individual. If discarded, the corresponding person will be directly disqualified."

"Second, you cannot attack the drones, not even touch them. You cannot use other objects or terrain blind spots to block the paint gun's shots. You can only do one thing, and that is to run."

"Third, you cannot attack each other, and you cannot forcibly interfere with others' actions. Understand?"

"Understood!" The recruits' voices were loud.

Instructor Han nodded. "Good, everyone, collect your loads and depart!"

While queuing to receive their loads, the instructors also issued a tactical dagger to the recruits.

But when it was Cao Yuan and Bai Li Pang Pang's turn, the instructor paused.

"You're Cao Yuan, right? Here, have a spoon."

Cao Yuan: ⊙︿⊙?

The instructor also explained, "You have extraordinary talent; a spoon is more suitable for you."

"Hahaha, Cao Yuan, you got a spoon."

Bai Li Pang Pang gloated, taking out his tactical dagger and waving it in front of Cao Yuan.

"Hey, hey, hey! Little Pang Pang, don't get too smug. Take out your Free Space and go to the tent over there for a body search."

Bai Li Pang Pang: ╥﹏╥…!

"No, taking away the Free Space is enough, why do you have to search me too?"

The instructor was also helpless. "Who told your family to run a Forbidden Territory museum? We're doing this for fairness."

Not long after, a thoroughly searched Bai Li Pang Pang appeared before Lin Qi Ye and Cao Yuan.

"Boo hoo hoo, Lin Qi Ye, I'm no longer pure."

Lin Qi Ye patted his shoulder. "It's okay. The instructors will return your things after it's over."

Beep beep beep!

A sharp whistle sounded, and the training began.

The recruits began to advance into the mountainous area.

As soon as he entered the training ground, Lin Qi Ye immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Cao Yuan, do you feel anything?"

Cao Yuan felt it for a moment. "It seems our Mental Energy is unusable."

Hearing Cao Yuan say this, Lin Qi Ye was even more certain of his thoughts. "Me too. It seems the instructors must have used some method to prevent us from using Mental Energy and Forbidden Territory."

Bai Li Pang Pang, after hearing Lin Qi Ye's words from the side, said, "Oh? Does that mean we've entered a giant Cao Yuan chastity belt?"

Cao Yuan's face turned black.

Lin Qi Ye paused. "Your description isn't wrong."

Bai Li Pang Pang suddenly became excited. "Then does that mean this thing is ineffective against me?"

Lin Qi Ye nodded. "That's right, it is indeed ineffective against you, but this training has now become a pure physical test."

Upon hearing the word "physical," Bai Li Pang Pang deflated like a punctured balloon. This was the word Bai Li Pang Pang least wanted to hear.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A sound interrupted their conversation.

"Not good, the drone is coming!" Lin Qi Ye shouted loudly.

He and Cao Yuan, without a word, pulled Bai Li Pang Pang and ran.

Biubiubiu!

The other recruits also came under fierce attack from the drones, leaving colorful paint on the ground.

"Everyone, quickly run into the woods!"

The forest was so vast that as long as they kept moving inside, it wouldn't count as a violation.

Not long after running, Bai Li Pang Pang was panting, leaning against a tree.

"Lin Qi Ye, Cao Yuan, I can't go on... You... you two go first, I'll rest for a bit."

"Aren't you afraid of being eliminated and punished?" Lin Qi Ye asked.

"If I'm eliminated, I'm eliminated. Punishment doesn't matter, it's probably just running laps or something!"

As soon as Bai Li Pang Pang finished speaking, he saw a recruit not far away get hit by a drone.

That recruit immediately fainted, and soon two instructors appeared out of nowhere, dragging him away.

They even had mischievous smiles on their faces.

Bai Li Pang Pang shuddered in fear. "Is the paint gun that powerful?"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

Lin Qi Ye and Cao Yuan immediately pulled Bai Li Pang Pang and fled forward.

At the command post, Instructor Han smiled as he watched the first recruit eliminated.

"I didn't expect this year's first unlucky guy to appear so quickly?"

"Come, come, put the Ring of Truth on him, give him a microphone, and turn on the Bluetooth speakers on all the recruits' loads!"

Instructor Han rubbed his hands excitedly. "Let's give these rookies a big shock! Truth or Dare can be played like this too."
