Girls und War

As the sky gradually darkened, the remaining female students in the team returned to their own camp.

Although the sun had already set, every girl on the team understood that training was not over yet.

As long as Xia Shu didn't say it was over, they would continue to suffer.

For them, Natsuki's kindness is the key to their survival.

They would only stop if Xia Shu said stop, and they would have to continue if Xia Shu said continue.

Xia Shu is their real sun.

Invisibly, an absolute will to obey has been silently generated in this team.

Seeing that the day was coming to an end, Xia Shu said to Fafna, "The next project is about to begin."

Upon hearing this, Fafna once again showed an expression of pity and asked, "Do you really want to do this? Human rights organizations will really file a complaint against you."

Xia Shu smiled and said to Fafna, "Aren't all the things ready? Can you regret it now?"

Fafna sighed and said, "You have the final say."

Then he came to the front of the team and directed them to walk into the camp.

After returning to the camp, all the team members showed relaxed expressions as if they were about to be liberated.

In a few hours, the day's training would be over, which meant they could drift off to sleep and take a nap.

Although this little sleep certainly can't make up for the loss of sleep in the past few days, I still want to relax as long as I can. It's better than not sleeping at all.

Then Fafna asked several sergeants to give them cold water, and asked them to take off their backpacks, put down their guns, and come to a closed room.

This room is used by instructors to take a shower. The trainees are not allowed to use it, so they rarely come here.

After letting the students from the four teams enter the room, Fafna said, "Okay, you can sleep here."

As he said that, he led the other instructors out.

One girl immediately asked, "Are we going to sleep here tonight?"

Fafna was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, I'll sleep here today."

When the girls heard this, they didn't think anything of it.

Just treat it as a new round of torture, simply making them feel uncomfortable when sleeping.

Who cares about other things?

It’s better to sleep as long as you can. It doesn’t matter where you sleep.

So these innocent little girls simply leaned against the wall and soon began to snore.

Before long, there was no one awake left inside.

Seeing this, Fafna outside the door nodded to the instructors nearby.

So they immediately put on gas masks and then sealed the door tightly with wire.

After confirming that the people inside could not escape, Fafna pulled out two tear gas bombs, pulled out the safety without hesitation, and threw them in through the window.

The next moment, thick smoke billowed out of the bathroom and irritating gases rushed out, burning the skin of several instructors so much that they felt pain.

And the poor students inside are of course even more miserable.

They shouted loudly, coughed, and banged on the iron gate like crazy.

But the iron door has been reinforced to prevent them from escaping.

So the girls kicked the barred iron window again with all their might.

Seeing that they could not escape no matter what, they rushed to the window like drowning people, trying to find a gap to breathe the remaining fresh air.

However, several teachers still showed no mercy and threw tear gas near several windows, pulling out their last lifeline.

The smoke inside and outside the room became thicker and thicker, and the entire camp was filled with choking and irritating smoke.

Even the logistics troops helping to guard the camp were severely affected and began to wear gas masks.

I have to say, the lethality of this thing is really too strong. It has a wide range attack and is an indiscriminate attack. No wonder it is listed as a banned weapon in the Imaginary Battlefield.

The sentries of the logistics unit were also horrified when they saw the miserable situation here.

My goodness, this is total abuse.

What on earth is this unit used for? Why is it required to undergo such training?

After waiting for a few minutes and there was no more movement in the room, Fafna ordered the instructors to cut the wire, kick open the deformed door, and cooperate with the medical staff to carry the poor children inside out.

At this time, most of the people inside had fallen into a semi-comatose state. After the medical staff carried them out, they quickly took them to an open area and checked their health conditions.

Apart from some of the girls falling into coma, there was no danger of fatality.

It's just that his face was covered with snot and tears, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Afterwards, the instructors dispersed the tear gas and tied up the students on their chairs one by one.

At this point, Xia Shu originally wanted to do some anti-capture training.

However, considering that there was indeed no torture or abuse of prisoners inside the imaginary battlefield, this unnecessary mental training was abandoned.

But important psychological tests such as torture are bound to be carried out.

It’s just that the original target of inquiry has turned into a forced withdrawal.

After all the girls were tied to the chairs, the instructors divided them into groups of two and assigned each of them the first group of students to be tortured.

The next moment, the girl on the chair felt a bucket of water pouring down on her head, and she woke up with a start.

Before the girl on the chair could figure out what was going on, the instructor wearing a gas mask punched her in the abdomen several times.

The girl retched from the beating. The instructor grabbed her hair and pulled it back, saying, "It's almost time to apply for withdrawal. If you say stop, you can leave immediately."

If the girl chooses to grit her teeth and persevere, the instructor will bring a large bucket of water and push her head in, allowing her to experience the primitive interrogation greetings from ancient times.

This feeling of suffocation from drowning is the most torturous. It would be fine if you were simply not allowed to breathe, but the interrogators would block your breathing and press your head down, making it impossible for you to breathe.

When you come out of the water and want to cough, the interrogator will press the button a few more times to make you experience the real feeling of near-death.

If they can still persevere at this time, the next project will be really difficult.

When their bodies were soaked and half dead, the instructors would take out the defibrillator and give them a thorough electric therapy.

It felt as if every cell in the body was pricked by needles, and the whole body was boiling, as if the person was being cooked from the inside.

Most of the students who dropped out at this stage failed in this project.

It's hard to describe the feeling of electric shock for those who haven't experienced it. Perhaps there's no other form of punishment in the world that can bring such genuine fear.

After eliminating more than a dozen students again, the screening of special forces members entered the final sprint stage.

If possible, Xia Shu hoped that the rest of the people could pass the test. Even if everyone in the entire training camp could pass the test, that would be even better.

But things don't always go smoothly.

How many people can actually qualify? Who knows?

792. The Consequences of Eating Indiscriminately

The torture continued until the second half of the night on the fourth day, until the instructors were exhausted, and Xia Shu ordered the unfortunate children to be taken down from their chairs.

Afterwards, they didn't even have the strength to walk, and all of them had to be carried to the bed by medical staff and instructors.

After going to bed, they all fell asleep immediately as if they had drunk black tea with added ingredients.

That night, Xia Shu let them have a good night's sleep, which was rare.

It was not until noon the next morning that tear gas was thrown into the trainees' resting barracks.

A group of students crawled out with their butts and urine streaming down their backs, all with expressions of being used to it.

Xia Shu fired a few shots into the air with his rifle to wake them up, then asked the team members to gather together and evenly divided the uneven teams before letting them start a new day of torture.

During the last two days of Hell Week, the instructors' attitudes towards the trainees became even more severe.

But these students have become numb. A group of girls are like zombies. They just do whatever the instructor tells them to do, and their minds are completely blank.

So, in the following days, Xia Shu didn't bother to mentally stimulate them anymore. He simply increased the intensity of their physical torture, conducting a final screening from a hardware perspective.

Finally, after seven days, the students completed an ultra-intensive march of 300 kilometers in the training area.

This is a feat that has never been accomplished since the establishment of the Imaginary Battlefield and is worthy of being recorded in history.

The final high-intensity physical sprint made the girls feel doubly hungry and tired, and it also eliminated several poor children who did not meet the physical fitness requirements.

But the most aggrieved one here is Xiaomian.

The reason why she was eliminated was something no one expected.

It was the morning of the fifth day, and the weather was unusually gloomy with little sunshine.

This is good news for the students, as the lower temperature means they won’t be tormented by the scorching heat when running long distances on the sand.

In the past, in such situations, Xia Shu would have them carry the wood, adding some extra running burden.

However, it seemed that considering that the girls had just gone through anti-capture training last night and were feeling a little weak, Xia Shu exempted them from this extra weight.

So the students followed Xia Shu's off-road vehicle up the Gobi Desert with a little ease, enjoying the breeze.

Not long after running, when the girls were taking a break to chat, they saw Xiaoman suddenly pounce forward and lie down on the sand.

The girls nearby thought she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to help her up.

But Xiaomian shook his head, said it was okay, then stood up and continued running forward.

After running about ten kilometers, when Xia Shu ordered them to rest, Xiaomian happily reached into his pocket.

Shan Mei and a few other familiar people knew that Xiao Mian must have found something good, so they sat around and looked at Xiao Mian.

Xiaomian then pulled out a big, hard, black scorpion from his pocket, which scared a few people.

Seeing that the scorpion's tail had been broken, Shan Mei breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Why... did you catch this thing?"

Ai Er also said uncertainly, "You don't want to eat this, do you?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?" Xiaomian showed a matter-of-fact expression while fighting the big scorpion's black pincers with a knife.

"This, this, this... can this thing be eaten?" Mi Yu looked panicked.

"Hmm... probably... should be... okay." Xiao Mian said as he cut off the scorpion's head. "It's a high-protein food. The protein content is six times that of beef!"

Then, under the slightly disgusted gazes of everyone, she stuffed the half-dead shoe into her mouth and started chewing it.

Seeing her expression that was hard to describe, Shan Mei asked, "What does it taste like? Is it delicious?"

"It's a bit like live shrimp that has been left for too long and has become a bit smelly after being sun-dried..." Xiaomian described it using strange words.

After finishing the meal, Xiaomian stuck out his tongue and added, "I won't want to eat it a second time."

In fact, she really didn't have the chance to eat it a second time.

Because after a few minutes, her mouth was swollen like a sausage.

Seeing that she looked dizzy and about to faint, several girls quickly helped her sit down on the ground and called medical staff.

Not long after, Xia Shu and the medical team came to Xiaomian.

When Xia Shu saw her like that, he knew that she must have eaten something poisonous, so he asked a few people, "What did she eat?"

"Scorpion." Upon hearing this, Ai'er pointed to the scorpion head and tail thrown aside.

"You're so brave, you stuff everything into your mouth." Xia Shu looked at the scorpion species with a smile and said, "This kind of scorpion has velvety stings. It won't be non-venomous if you cut off the tail..."

Seeing this, the medical staff quickly injected the rabbit with antitoxin serum.

Not long after, the little rabbit began to vomit violently and fell into a coma.

Now, Xiaomian’s assessment could definitely not continue, and she had to go to the nearest field hospital for treatment immediately.

So all the students watched as Xiaomian was lifted onto the off-road vehicle and slowly drove away into the distance.

Seeing this, Xia Shu emphasized to them again the harm of eating indiscriminately.

But I don’t think there will be another person who would stuff a live scorpion into his mouth without hesitation like Xiaomian did.

In addition, Xiaomian's departure also affected the status of the girls in Class A, Row 3.
