Chapter 253 Instructor Duan
Sentry training camp.
The sentries who were participating in the training were also discussing this.
"There really are S-rank guides?"
"So, does that mean we don't have to worry about mutations anymore?"
"You wish! That's a rare S-class guide."
"You think you can just see her whenever you want? Even high-ranking sentinels have to wait in line to see her..."
He Xiang hugged his sloth with a miserable expression, not participating in their discussion at all.
They're talking about Sister Yun Zhao behind her back...
Something feels off.
He should first think of a way to complete the afternoon's training.
Brother Xie, oh no, Battalion Commander Xie will personally guide the training this afternoon.
The training course is titled "Cooperative Combat with Spiritual Entities".
Upon hearing this, He Xiang quickly released his sloth a morning earlier than usual.
He hugged the sloth and buried himself in thought.
I really don't know how to coordinate our operations.
When the search party was out hunting, they used his sloth as a roadblock.
It won't run away if you put it on the ground anyway.
Besides being a roadblock, what else can it do?
I hope he doesn't come in last place in the afternoon training session...
The sentries on the other end of the line then shifted their conversation to the five-star contaminated zone.
"Could we ask the instructor to explain the high-risk contaminated area in detail...?"
"I'll ask about it later."
"Both of the contaminated areas announced are very dangerous. If I were to go in, I might die on the first day."
"That's not true. Not to mention you, anyone else would have gone and never returned."
It was snowing heavily outside.
The sentry training camp is located on the back of the mountain to the west of the base. It is surrounded by rough logs and has a wide open space with snow that can reach above knee height in some places.
A row of brick and stone huts was built on the east side, which served as the instructors' rest area.
To the west, several temporary tents have been set up, serving as a rest stop for the cadet sentries.
The conditions were tough, but they improved our skills, so everyone could endure them.
It's break time right now.
A strong wind swept snowflakes across the training field, and occasionally some training equipment could be seen half-hidden in the field.
The training ground was deserted; everyone was huddled inside their tents eating and resting.
He Xiang was not assigned to the same group as Cheng Dongshu.
Their instructor was a stylishly dressed senior sentry surnamed Duan.
It is said that Instructor Duan is the nephew of Director Duan of the Operations Department, and has a very strong backing at the base.
On the first day of meeting, before they could even introduce themselves, Instructor Duan made each of them do one hundred push-ups.
No one dared to resist, and they obediently did as instructed.
Instructor Duan was very satisfied with their performance.
"Alright, let's start the physical conditioning class now."
The so-called physical fitness enhancement class.
—Each person carries 30 kilograms of weight and runs a long-distance race along the mountain road.
By the end of the first day, all the sentries were exhausted.
Fortunately, Battalion Commander Xie came to take a look the next day.
Instructor Duan suddenly became gentle and stopped tormenting them, switching to sensory training instead.
A group of people stood in the snow.
The mountaintop should be marked with signs of varying distances and sizes, and their characteristics, colors, etc., must be accurately described.
Afterwards, they took training courses in hearing and smell to improve their ability to identify and warn of dangerous substances.
He Xiang's performance was only so-so.
The group's ranking is in the lower middle range.
He was still worrying about the afternoon's "Mental-Body Coordination Combat Class," squatting by the tent with his pet sloth in his arms, his face almost scrunched up in a frown.
Little did they know.
There are people who have a bigger headache than him.
Inside the brick and stone barracks across the street.
Xie Tu is still researching training methods for certain special spiritual entities within the Sentinel group.
On the table in front of him were piles of thick books and various printed research reports.
The members of Team Zero had their desks close together.
Duan Xi, holding a hot water bottle, comfortably crossed his legs and declared with great ambition, "We'll be instructors again next year!"
Usually, the team leader is the one who messes with him, but now it's his turn to mess with others.
That feeling was incredibly exhilarating.
The rabbit stood up and slapped him, saying, "We're here to teach, not to mess with people. If you scare them away, see how the captain punishes you!"
"Wang Jiayu, what do you know! I'm just being strict."
Duan Xi quickly dodged, then glanced guiltily at his captain, straightened his back, and said righteously, "They'll be facing real dangers when they go out in the future. If they don't practice and learn some new skills now, they won't have anything to regret when they lose their lives."
Tao Haohao shrugged. "Come on, we know you too well."
Song Liang looked up and said slowly, "Yun Zhao's younger brother is in your group. If you can't teach him well, will you have the face to see her next time?"
Duan Xi: "..." That makes sense.
He turned to Xie Tu for help, "Captain, please help me, how should we train a sloth?"
What if there's no improvement after leaving the training ground?
He really didn't have the face to see Yun Zhao.
But... how could a Sentinel awaken such a bizarre spiritual entity!
Its movements were incredibly slow. While other spiritual entities were fiercely warming up for combat, it leisurely reached for even a single leaf.
Several minutes passed before the claws finally extended.
If the impatient Duan Xi saw this, he would have loved to put a leaf right to its mouth!
Let's talk about its "laziness".
According to Duan Xi's observation, once He Xiang releases it, it can squat in the snow for several hours and refuse to move easily.
No matter how much the other spirits around him stirred things up, the sloth only lifted its eyelids slightly and continued to lie in its prone position.
That languid demeanor seemed to say, "Don't disturb my rest, even if the sky falls."
Duan Xi also did his homework, going back to look up various materials.
But even after racking my brains, I still can't figure out how to train this thing.
He could only ask the captain for help.
Xie Tu looked up, reached for the documents on the table, and threw them at his head. "Take these and get out of here."
Duan Xi was delighted and took the documents: "Great!"
The information was compiled in great detail.
The first step is to cultivate the sloth's fighting spirit and develop its habit of observing enemies in combat mode.
This is similar to other spiritual entities.
Without a fighting spirit, the little ones won't cooperate in the following training.
Secondly...
Duan Xi found it increasingly strange, and after walking to the door, he immediately turned back. "Captain, should we make it take the defensive route?"
Xie Tu said calmly, "Otherwise what?"
Sloths are inherently slow-moving, and He Xiang's mental form was also unusually lazy.
It can only be used as a passive skill triggered by the main body.
By cultivating a fighting spirit, sloths can serve as combat support, using their advantages to disrupt the enemy.
It might have unexpected results.
"Advantages?"
Duan Xi was starting to question everything: "What are the advantages of a sloth?"
Is laziness an advantage?
Xie Tu rubbed his temples: "You should first guide He Xiang to better communicate with it mentally, so that he can give timely and accurate instructions, and then gradually adjust it step by step."
Without combat awareness, all the training will be in vain.
Upon hearing this, Duan Xi blurted out, "Even the captain can't do this much, can he?"
Fire Phoenix goes to East Third Street to find Yun Zhao every day, having long forgotten who her true form is.
Xie Tu glanced at him expressionlessly.
Startled, Duan Xi quickly retreated, shouting, "Okay, Captain!"
