MMB Chapter 1292 Nightmare Mode
Chapter 1292 Nightmare Mode
At the naval training ground, the sea breeze whistled and the sand and dust flew. A small red clay stove stood quietly, and the teapot on the stove was emitting curling hot steam. The rich tea fragrance rose and floated in the air, adding a different atmosphere to this arduous training ground.
"It's been a long time since I saw navy soldiers training so frantically. It's really eye-opening! And it's you who did it. If it weren't for you stimulating them, I'm afraid all these people would have fallen flat." Kang Tuan held the steaming hot tea in his hand and drank it in one gulp. He looked so generous as if he was drinking. He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of nostalgia on his face, and said slowly, "In this regard, compared with the army, the navy's training is indeed inferior in some aspects. Over the years, they have only produced a Jiaolong Commando, which can barely be regarded as having outstanding achievements in the field of special operations. Apart from this, there are really no other particularly outstanding special operations teams."
"But our army is different. The field army inherits the blood of our ancestors and upholds the spirit of 'as long as there is breath, there will be endless fighting.' Special operations teams like the Langya have outstanding teams emerging every year. It can be clearly seen from the annual exercises that the strong teams take turns to occupy the forefront. Later, the hacker special operations team led by you came out of nowhere and broke this traditional pattern!" Kang Tuan was full of emotion, his words were full of memories of the past and praise for Chen Jun's achievements.
To be honest, he admired Chen Jun from the bottom of his heart. In his eyes, genius was just a starting point for Chen Jun. For example, He Chenguang, Wang Yanbing and others were considered talented and outstanding in the eyes of others, but now they are still working hard under Chen Jun. Thinking of this, Kang Tuan couldn't help but smile, thinking that Lao Fan used to enjoy "beheading" himself in exercises every year, but now? He is still staying honestly in the hacker base.
Chen Jun did not immediately express his opinion on the old commander's admiring complaints. After returning from the National Defense University, he had become much more stable and would no longer be so proud and forgetful as before when Long Shuai praised him. At this moment, he smiled and said, "Old commander, if you are good at talking, please say more. I really like to hear your praise. I may not listen to what others say."
Hearing this, Kang Tuan's hand, which was about to drink tea, stopped in mid-air. He was stunned for a moment, then reacted and couldn't help laughing.
……
On the naval training ground, flying sand penetrated every hole, going down the soldiers' necks, flowing along their uniforms, and even playfully falling into the unknown "forest valley", causing a commotion among the soldiers.
Jiang Xiaoyu frowned and shook his body vigorously, trying to shake off the sand that had gotten in. He smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that he would become even more abnormal after becoming a general. How did he come up with such a training program? Can this still be considered something a human would do? Hey, hey, those behind you, how are you running? Don't throw sand around!"
"Forget it, they didn't do it on purpose. Let's save some energy for running. I don't want to be eliminated in the first wave." Lu Yan's eyes flashed with a firm will to fight. He ran quickly and said, "In fact, from domestic news reports, I have always been curious about the hacker base. It is recognized as the strongest special operations team in the country. It won the championship right after its establishment and has always maintained the top level. Now we finally have the opportunity to receive such formal and high-intensity training, we must cherish it."
"That's right!" Zhang Chong took a deep breath, quickened his running speed, and soon surpassed Lu Yan. He turned around and shouted, "After completing this project, you must tell those brothers that no matter what sarcastic words he says, don't talk back, otherwise, you will definitely suffer the consequences."
"Okay, let's rush over first!" After the three of them reached a consensus, they ran all the way like an arrow from a bow.
After running half the distance, many soldiers felt that they were exhausted. Their waists ached unbearably, their legs seemed to be numb and they lost all feeling. Even the feeling of their heartbeats became blurred... This was a numb reaction of the body under extreme fatigue. They stepped on the sand with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Some of them accidentally fell down, some were choked by the sand and coughed continuously, and some young soldiers, despite their good physical fitness, fell to the ground and fell asleep due to exhaustion.
"Everyone, hold on! The reputation of the Navy depends on us. We must not let the Army chief look down on us!"
"The navy is invincible, charge..."
"Brothers, use all your strength, our navy is invincible!" Jiang Xiaoyu's voice was particularly abrupt among the many navy soldiers, but it was like a shot in the arm, inspiring many people. Everyone supported each other and moved towards the finish line with difficulty.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the end, nearly two-thirds of the people failed to complete the desert cross-country race within the specified time. However, these navy soldiers who did not finish the race did not give up. They were like those injured athletes in the Olympics who still persisted, moving slowly towards the finish line step by step, and finally completed the whole race.
Chen Jun, standing at the finish line, looked expressionlessly at the exhausted navy soldiers who were struggling to move over. Under his calm appearance, he felt slightly relieved in his heart, because he saw the bloodiness and tenacity of the Yan Kingdom Navy from these soldiers.
When the last naval soldier finally moved to the national flag at the finish line, Chen Jun loudly announced the end of the assessment in the strong sea breeze.
"To the navy soldiers who didn't meet the standard, you don't have to be too discouraged. At this stage, you really haven't met the requirements to become hacker soldiers, but this doesn't mean you can't do it in the future. Maybe next year, I'll see some of you finish on time."
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers' hearts were moved. It turned out that these eliminated navy soldiers thought that Chen Jun would severely reprimand them, but they did not expect to receive such encouragement. Many people's originally depressed mood was suddenly lifted, thinking: Next year, I will have another chance, I must become a navy special forces soldier and try again!
"Those who are eliminated should put their helmets under the national flag and leave the naval training ground." Yang Rui's cold words ruthlessly interrupted these people's fantasies.
The eliminated soldiers could only take heavy steps, put their helmets neatly under the fluttering national flag, and then solemnly salute. Tears flashed in their eyes. No matter how ambitious they were for the next year, they could not hide their disappointment at this moment. Afterwards, this group of naval soldiers, which accounted for two-thirds of the total number, slowly left the sea training ground with full of regrets.
The sea breeze blew, and faint singing could be heard, as if playing a tragic melody for these departing soldiers.
"All of you who stayed behind are brave, but also 'stupid', because you chose the most difficult path. I tell you, this is just the beginning, the real gate to hell has just opened." Chen Jun's eyes slowly fell on a few familiar faces, and continued, "People who know my style know that relationships and sympathy have no effect on me. Before the gate to hell is completely opened, let me ask you one more question, is there anyone who wants to leave?"
"If you want to leave, you have three minutes to put your helmet next to the national flag and leave on your own. No one will laugh at you. On the contrary, I think you are very sensible."
Chen Jun's scorching eyes swept over everyone. Jiang Xiaoyu, Lu Yan and Zhang Chong, who were familiar with him, quickly looked away, not daring to look at this "devil instructor". However, other naval soldiers who were not familiar with Chen Jun's style bravely looked at him. In their opinion, Chen Jun's words were just old sayings and could not scare these excellent naval soldiers.
Three minutes passed quickly.
Not a single sailor chose to leave.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it, so you can only accept the punishment. The next step will still be physical training. However, I will no longer use your navy's outdated training model." Having said that, under the angry and puzzled gazes of these naval soldiers, Chen Jun's mouth curled up into a cold smile, and that look seemed to be the antonym of Lao Fan.
"I have specially tailored a training model for your navy. I hope you will like it."
The naval soldiers looked confused, their hearts filled with doubts and anxiety.
"Navy frogmen, underwater diving is your specialty. Therefore, the physical training I arranged for you is called 'Frogman Walk'. You have to use diving to go more than five kilometers deep into the seabed. The first stage is carried out at a depth of 50 meters and there is a strict time requirement. Navy soldiers who cannot complete it will be eliminated directly."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent. They had indeed received frogman diving training, but the so-called "frogman underwater walking" was not a walk at all, it was clearly an underwater raid! Everyone knew how much physical strength was needed to carry out such a high-intensity exercise on the seabed, not to mention that it had to be completed in the five-kilometer deep sea, which was simply as difficult as ascending to heaven, and the difficulty was completely compounded.
Of course, Jiang Xiaoyu, Lu Yan and Zhang Chong are not unfamiliar with such training, and they have a certain foundation. But even so, it does not mean it is easy. In fact, for a long time, they were often troubled by similar training scenes in their dreams, as if they were possessed by a ghost.
"I finally got used to it and stopped having nightmares, but I didn't expect it to start again."
"A 50-meter sprint is difficult enough, and I'm afraid he'll make it even more difficult later on."
"Looks like I'm going to have another nightmare."
Although Jiang Xiaoyu and the other two were still frightened, they still bravely prepared to face the challenge. However, other navy soldiers who had never experienced such special training did not take it seriously and thought it was nothing. After all, they often conducted diving training and chased fish on the seabed. A distance of 50 meters was just child's play for them.
However, when they actually jumped into the sea, they found that their ideas were too naive.
Although these navy soldiers are experts at holding their breath, holding their breath during intense exercise under the sea is a completely different matter. For example, people who can normally hold their breath for five minutes would be very good if they could hold it for two minutes during this frantic run. Therefore, many people had difficulty breathing after swimming about 20 meters, and could only float to the surface.
Relying on their previous experience and excellent physical fitness, Jiang Xiaoyu and the other two simply sprinted forward and soon reached the finish line.
The naval soldiers who had come to the surface were all stunned when they saw this scene. They couldn't understand why these three people had small motors installed on their feet. Otherwise, how could they swim so fast?
"Do you still have time to be a floating fish? Hurry up and dive down. If you fail to achieve the goal, you will all be eliminated!" Chen Jun's stern voice came from the sea.
Everyone now truly understood what perverted training was. Helplessly, they could only grit their teeth and continue diving and running.
……
Three days passed, and only a few people were able to hold on. The soldiers who stayed behind began to have frequent nightmares, either feeling possessed by ghosts or trapped in a predicament of ghost walls. They often turned around in a space and could not get out. In the end, they could only scream like screaming chickens. Various screams were heard one after another in the navy dormitory, which was creepy.
"I really can't take it anymore. I've had nightmares for three consecutive days. I dreamed that my great-grandmother came after me with a knife. What on earth is going on?"
"I dreamed that my grandfather was on top of me and asked me with a smile, 'Grandson, are you okay?' Then my grandfather's face suddenly turned into the instructor's poker face."
"This training is too perverted. How can it give us nightmares every night? He is simply a devil. Quickly send a god to take him in!"
The navy soldiers who were awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night gathered together and complained in frustration. Jiang Xiaoyu, who had already fallen asleep, turned over in a daze and said, "Save some energy, this is just the beginning. If you have nightmares, you will get used to it. Just think of it as a case of you going crazy while practicing martial arts. If you break through it, your martial arts skills will increase by a decade."
"It really seems like he's been possessed." Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaoyu quietly. After a while, someone suddenly asked, "No, Comrade Xiaoyu, why are you three always able to adapt to such abnormal training so quickly?"
"Because we are perverts ourselves." Jiang Xiaoyu answered seriously, "Only perverts can adapt to perverts."
He turned over and fell into a sleepy state.
In the dead silence, everyone made a perverted gesture towards Jiang Xiaoyu, giving him the middle finger in contempt.
Soon, a month passed.
It can be said that the sailors who are still able to stay in the naval training ground are becoming more abnormal than each other. For example, they are all pale. Even the dead are not as pale as them. They are so pale. It is worth mentioning that Chen Jun also transferred two veterans to help watch over the place.
