Instead of dragging such a romantic girl into their cruel world, why not let her live freely in the sunshine, without worries or fears?

The group that had been arguing fell silent upon hearing this. Yes, their world was indeed too cruel.

Special forces, as the vanguard of the nation, must carry out all sorts of extremely dangerous missions. Similarly, if their information is discovered by the enemy, they will likely face severe retaliation.

Such incidents have happened before; several people in the special operations brigade have encountered similar situations. When forced to choose between their country and their families, some chose loyalty to their country, while others chose loyalty to their families.

But no one will blame the person who chose the country, nor is anyone qualified to do so, because when things haven't actually happened, no one can guarantee that anyone will definitely choose the country. So without firsthand experience, who has the right to criticize others?

The feeling of being powerless to stop the death of family members is suffocating just thinking about it. So Jinhua's concerns are valid. Choosing the person he loves would only put her in a desperate situation...

The atmosphere suddenly became incredibly heavy, and a deathly silence spread around them, leaving them speechless for a moment...

Qi Guang understood Jin Hua's meaning, but he didn't think as deeply as the others. "Well, no matter how much we think about it here, the choice is the captain's own business. No matter who it is, no matter if it seems suitable or not, there are some things we can't control."

His words immediately enlightened everyone.

The heavy atmosphere was swept away.

Yes, no matter how much they think about it, ultimately it's the captain's personal matter.

It's good to be an hedonist like Qi Guang. Why make things so complicated when it's such a simple problem?

There's no need to overthink matters of the heart. The more you think about them, the more worries you'll have, and you'll only be creating trouble for yourself.

Qi Guang crossed her legs and said seriously, "Besides, there is no absolutely suitable person, nor is there anyone better. In the world of feelings, liking someone is the best, and not liking someone is not the best, no matter how good they are, it is not the best that the captain wants."

His righteous and eloquent manner gave him the air of someone who was in charge of surveying the world.

Except for that blockhead in Jinhua, everyone else agreed with Qi Guang's opinion.

But before they could continue—

"Team... Captain." Mengzi's eyes flickered slightly, and he was a little flustered, so his words came out somewhat haltingly.

He was on the verge of tears. Did their captain walk so silently? He appeared without a sound at his room door. If he hadn't happened to see him, he didn't know how long he would have been listening there…

Ah, no, I don't know how long he's been listening here!

"You guys were chatting so enthusiastically that you didn't even notice I was here. Your vigilance is too low," Ji Muhan said calmly, hands in her pockets, leaning against the door, continuing indifferently, "If I were the enemy, you would all be nothing but corpses on the ground by now!"

"..." No, actually it's because your footsteps were too light, Captain!

"Given your high energy levels, I think you don't need to rest. You should exercise more; I haven't been very satisfied with your recent performance!"

Ji Muhan glanced at Qi Guang with a cold look in her eyes, her expression indifferent, "Especially you, your physical fitness test results have been getting worse and worse recently. Starting tomorrow, I will personally train you until I am satisfied."

"..." Upon hearing this, Qi Guang was moved to tears.

The person in his heart reached out to him, pleading, "No, Captain, I was wrong. I will never talk about your private affairs behind your back again. Can we talk about this again? Even a 20-kilometer cross-country run is fine. He just doesn't want to be abused by him!"

He still remembers the feeling of being brutally tortured by his captain after returning from a mission, the excruciating pain he felt, and he really doesn't want to experience it again...

“And you guys will each add ten kilometers to your cross-country course during this period,” Ji Muhan said, seeing Qi Guang’s dejected and lifeless face. She curled her lips into a cold smile, then shifted her gaze to the other three. “As for when it will end, that depends on my mood.”

"!"

"!"

"!"

What does "depending on my mood" mean?

Mengzi and the other two wanted to cover their faces. Why were they being treated like this?

No, is it really okay for the captain to act so willfully and recklessly?

And please don't smile at them so dangerously again next time; some of them have heart conditions and can't take it...

...

It was quite a coincidence that we got up.

Last year's exercise was a battle between the best special operations teams from the capital and Beijing special operations brigades. In the end, only the team leaders, Ji Muhan and Mo Yanyu, remained, and Ji Muhan narrowly won.

This year, the two teams have joined forces. Now, Shen Shaolin, who originally wanted to avenge his previous defeat, is extremely frustrated.

Last year, they were wiped out by the captain of the Qilin Team of the Beijing Special Forces Brigade, and they were thinking of getting revenge this year. But they were told that they would have to join forces with them this year.

Isn't this tearing his heart out?

How is he supposed to get revenge now? They can't exactly have an internal conflict during the exercise, can they? Wouldn't that just make things more entertaining?

Only after asking him carefully did he realize—

The Qilin team, which will be conducting joint exercises with them, will arrive two days early tonight. The higher-ups claim that this is to allow the two teams enough time to get to know each other beforehand.

oh?

Yeah?

But Shen Shaolin was delighted. He came to play two days early, right?
