“Say one more word, and I’ll add another circle.” Lei Kuan’s voice was devoid of any warmth.
In an instant, all the sounds disappeared.
Under the watchful eyes of nearly a hundred comrades who had assembled on time, the more than one hundred men squatted down in humiliation, put their hands on their heads, and began the painful frog jumps.
The playground is very large, with one lap being 400 meters. Three laps would be 1200 meters.
In the queue, Wang Xiaoya and Chen Xiaocao looked at the people's painful appearance, their faces turned pale with fright, and they felt a wave of fear, but were also extremely grateful that they had kept up with Su Tang's footsteps.
Su Tang remained calm on the surface, but her mind was racing with analysis.
This is the most basic obedience training and physical fitness screening; it's brutal, but effective. If you can't even endure this much hardship, the subsequent training will only be suicide.
The frog jump punishment finally ended, and those people were almost paralyzed on the ground, being dragged back to the line by the instructors like dead dogs.
Lei Kuan seemed oblivious to their miserable state and continued to announce the first training exercise in his cold voice.
"Everyone! Turn right! Run! Go to the warehouse and collect your first companion!"
The recruits were led to a huge warehouse, where hundreds of military green canvas backpacks were neatly stacked.
“One for each person, 20 kilograms for male soldiers and 15 kilograms for female soldiers.” Lei Kuan pointed to the backpack. “From today onwards, except when you’re sleeping, it will be a piece of your flesh. Now, put it on.”
The new recruits rushed forward, and many gasped as they took the backpacks in their hands.
It's too heavy!
"My God! This feels like carrying a rock!" A young man from the city had just slung his bag over his shoulder when he stumbled and almost lost his balance.
"Fifteen kilograms... I don't even carry a bag of sweet potatoes at home that's this heavy!"
Many young men from the city, who were not selected because of their physical abilities, staggered while carrying the 20-kilogram backpacks, let alone the slender female soldiers.
Wang Xiaoya reached for her backpack, but its heavy weight suddenly pulled her downwards. Her frail body couldn't bear it, and she was dragged forward, about to fall face-first into the mud, blocking Su Tang's path.
Just then, a hand reached out from her side, not to help her, but to quickly and ruthlessly grab one of the backpack straps and pull it upwards.
"Tighten."
A cold, emotionless voice rang in her ear.
Wang Xiaoya turned around, still shaken, only to see Su An's calm, expressionless face. She didn't even glance at Wang Xiaoya again, and after saying those two words, walked straight over and picked up her backpack.
Wang Xiaoya blankly imitated Su An's actions, pulling the straps on both sides tightly. Sure enough, the backpack was firmly attached to her back, no longer wobbling precariously as before.
She wanted to say thank you gratefully, but Su An had already walked away.
Su Tang picked up a backpack and easily slung it over her shoulder with one hand, as if the 15 kilograms of weight didn't exist. Her movements were fluid and professional, without the slightest unnecessary sway.
Fifteen kilograms.
She weighed it in her hand and made up her mind.
This weight would indeed be a huge challenge for an ordinary girl, but for this body that had been transformed by the spiritual spring water, it was even lighter than the regular load she carried when performing missions in her previous life.
