Lu Mingyu withdrew his hand, his gaze once again falling on the female guests.
“From today onwards, our Megakaryocyte Special Operations Group will be responsible for your forty-five-day special training.”
His voice grew sterner, each word like a steel nail, hammering at the hearts of the female guests.
“Within these forty-five days, you will need to complete seven basic requirements.”
“We will formulate a detailed training plan for you to ensure you master these skills.”
He paused, a chilling glint in his eyes.
“However, please remember.”
“If anyone fails to complete their training tasks or violates the base's regulations.”
“We will impose corresponding punishments according to the regulations of the Special Operations Brigade.”
His voice was calm, but the deterrent power it contained.
Made all the female guests present shiver with fear.
They all knew that this punishment was not just empty words.
The training ground, filled with a Kill atmosphere, seemed to grow heavier in an instant.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the next command.
Lu Mingyu’s gaze shifted from the faces of the female guests to Director Ding Hui, who was standing not far away.
Ding Hui was whispering something to the head of the photography team, a barely concealed excitement on his face.
Lu Mingyu’s eyes turned cold, and he strode towards Ding Hui.
Zhou Chenguang and the others behind him still stood like pine trees.
But their eyes also became more vigilant as their Captain moved.
“Director Ding.”
Lu Mingyu’s voice was not loud, but it instantly quieted the somewhat noisy scene.
Ding Hui stopped talking, a smile plastered on his face as he looked at Lu Mingyu.
“Captain Lu, do you have any instructions?”
“Here, there are no your instructions, only a statement of fact.”
The smile on Ding Hui’s face stiffened.
“Captain Lu, we are in a cooperative relationship…”
“The cooperative relationship ended the moment you stepped into this base.”
Lu Mingyu interrupted him.
“Here, the director's team has no real power, nor any say.”
His gaze swept over Ding Hui, then looked at the photography team behind him.
“Their training time is decided by us.”
“Their meal times are decided by us.”
“Their showering times are decided by us.”
“Their sleeping times are also decided by us.”
With each sentence Lu Mingyu spoke, Ding Hui’s face grew uglier.
“I hope you remember this and do not try to interfere with any of our decisions.”
Lu Mingyu's tone carried a warning.
“And please tell them not to try to make us unhappy.”
“Otherwise, I don’t mind letting them go hungry for a day.”
These words made everyone gasp, and the female guests' faces turned even paler.
Ding Hui opened his mouth, but in the end, said nothing, only nodded.
He knew that Lu Mingyu was not joking.
Lu Mingyu no longer looked at him, turning to face the female guests and continued.
“Now, enjoy the welcome ceremony we have prepared for you.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
“Boom!”
A huge explosion sounded from the side of the training ground.
Immediately after, the ground trembled violently, and a wave of air mixed with dirt and gunpowder smoke rushed towards them.
The female guests had never seen such a scene and were instantly scared out of their wits.
“Ah!”
Screams rose and fell, piercing the tranquility of the training ground.
They instinctively covered their heads and scurried around, completely forgetting the “attention” and “at ease” they had just learned.
Yu Shuxin was the first to shriek and squat down, her hands clutching her head tightly.
Yang Zi and Zhang Zifeng’s tears instantly welled up.
The two hugged each other tightly, their bodies trembling like sieves.
Although Bai Lu and Guan Xiaotong didn't cry.
Their faces were also pale, and their bodies stiffly hugged their teammates beside them, seeking a sense of security.
Gu Lina Zha was also greatly startled by the sudden explosion, her body trembled violently, and she squatted on the ground.
Before they could recover from the shock of the explosion.
“Da da da da da!”
Intense gunfire echoed throughout the training ground.
Zhou Chenguang, Li Xiaoniu, and the others behind Lu Mingyu had, at some point, raised their rifles.
And swept across the empty field.
The dancing muzzle flashes and deafening gunfire completely shattered the psychological defenses of the female guests.
They thought these were real bullets, that they could be hit at any moment.
Fear engulfed them like a tide.
“Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot!”
“Help!”
The screams became even more shrill, filled with despair.
They huddled together in disarray like startled rabbits.
Crying and screaming mixed together, the scene was chaotic.
And Director Ding Hui, not far away, seeing this scene.
The shock in his heart was quickly replaced by a fervent excitement.
“It’s going to be a hit! Absolutely going to be a hit!”
He excitedly grabbed the arm of the photography manager beside him, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
“Quick! Zoom in the lens! Give me close-ups!”
He lowered his voice, but his tone was incredibly excited.
“I want to see every tear on their faces!”
“Every terrified expression! These are the most authentic reactions!”
The head of the photography team nodded vigorously, equally excited.
“Don’t worry, Director Ding!”
“Twenty cameras are shooting simultaneously, absolutely no corner will be missed!”
He assured Ding Hui.
“I also brought thirty more cameras, there are plenty of spares.”
“Guaranteed to record all precious footage!”
Ding Hui nodded in satisfaction, his gaze once again falling on the group of female guests crying with their heads in their hands.
As if enjoying a spectacular drama.
Finally, the gunfire stopped.
The lingering gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, leaving only the suppressed sobs of the female guests on the training ground.
Zhou Chenguang lowered his gun, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the crowd, landing on Gu Lina Zha, who was squatting on the ground.
He saw her shoulders shaking slightly, as if she was crying.
He frowned and nudged Li Xiaoniu beside him.
“Buffalo, sister-in-law seems to be crying.”
Li Xiaoniu followed his gaze, scratching his head with some confusion.
“No way, right?”
“This welcome ceremony is something we practiced several times before, the process is all according to the arrangements.”
Wu Tianlong, standing on the other side, pushed his rimless glasses and said in a low voice.
“Seeing an exercise report and experiencing it firsthand are two different things.”
“We have gone through more rigorous training, even been to battlefields.”
“We are long numb to this equivalent of small explosives and blank cartridges.”
“But they are different.”
Wu Tianlong’s gaze was calm and objective.
“They are celebrities, ordinary people, they don’t know this is fake.”
“In their eyes, everything that just happened was deadly.”
Li Xiaoniu was still a bit bothered.
“But this is just a welcome ceremony, didn’t we do the same when training new recruits before?”
Wang Yanbing sighed beside him, his voice clear and cold.
“Don’t explain, it’s useless.”
“New recruits, before coming, at least underwent long periods of military ideological education and basic training, they had psychological preparation.”
“They have nothing.”
The several team members fell silent.
They knew that in the eyes of the female guests, they were probably no different from devils at this moment.
