Chapter 382 Even When Facing Death, Still Talking Stubbornly Su Tang looked at the two "human-shaped radishes" drifting in the middle of the mud pit, her face expressionless, but her mind was racing.
She's certainly not some saint. Bai Wei and Zhang Kui are both cunning and stupid; even if they were truly trapped and couldn't get out, she wouldn't even blink.
The problem is, now is not the time for personal grudges.
This is a group of soldiers led by Qin Ye as the chief instructor. They are the "Dragon Flame" reserve battalion that both Vice Minister Zheng and Minister Xiao are secretly observing.
If a major safety accident were to occur on his turf, during his training session, resulting in the drowning of a trainee, it would be an indelible stain on his future resume.
She can't let that happen.
For her sake, Qin Ye willingly left his prestigious military rank as a battalion commander to become a harsh and unapproachable instructor in this godforsaken place, enduring the torment of not being able to acknowledge their relationship and silently clearing obstacles for her. Her only way of repaying him was to ensure his work was flawless, allowing him to deliver the most perfect performance.
Moreover, Su Tang lured Bai Wei and Zhang Kui into the mire to curb Bai Wei's arrogance and to put them on a low note; she didn't really want to kill them.
"Pour water into the mud? Su An, are you crazy?!"
A sharp, piercing scream abruptly shattered the tense and eerie atmosphere.
It is Bai Wei.
She was stuck in the mud, with only her head and shoulders showing. Her hair was covered with seaweed and mud. Her carefully maintained image of aloofness was gone, and her face was twisted beyond recognition by fear and anger.
She had just heard Su Tang's "rescue plan," and the fear she felt at that moment even overwhelmed the coldness in her body.
Pour water into the mud? Isn't that making her drown even faster?!
"Su An, I knew you had ulterior motives all along." Bai Wei's voice was filled with anger and agitation. "Are you trying to settle a personal score? Are you trying to take this opportunity to drown me here?"
She screamed and struggled desperately in the mud, trying to break free on her own.
The more she struggled, the stronger the invisible suction became. The dark brown mud seemed to come alive, greedily and inch by inch swallowing her body. Soon, the mud had submerged her chest, and a powerful pressure instantly squeezed her chest cavity, making it difficult for her to breathe.
The suffocating fear gripped her throat like a cold hand.
"Cough...cough cough..." Bai Wei choked on several mouthfuls of dirty water mixed with the smell of mud, her struggling strength weakened, but she was still muttering filthy words, "Su An...you want to hurt me..."
The surrounding students were all dumbfounded.
They had initially been skeptical of Su Tang's theories on "thixotropic fluids" and "negative pressure environments," finding them too abstract and incomprehensible. But now, seeing Bai Wei's reaction, many began to have doubts again.
"Pour water into the mud, that...that sounds a bit scary."
"What if they really get flooded? This is no joke."
"But what Comrade Su An just said made perfect sense, talking about physics, and it sounded quite reasonable."
"Makes sense my ass! Have you ever heard of saving someone like that? I think Bai Wei is right, she's just trying to settle a personal score, isn't she?"
The buzzing of discussion grew louder, and people's hearts began to waver. Even Lei Kuan, who had just been completely obedient to Su Tang, showed some hesitation on his face. If someone died, he, as the instructor, would not be able to escape responsibility.
Gao Kai panicked and shouted at the crowd without thinking, "What do you know! If Teacher Su says it's okay, it's okay! When has she ever missed a chance?!"
