Chapter 1143 - Training the Soldiers and Brainwashing Them (1/2)
Xu Zhenyu was undoubtedly a strict commander who had stringent standards. He was ruthless and would never hesitate to punish even the girls by making them stand for four hours. It was worse for the boys who were made to do push-ups until they could no longer get up.
A few days ago, the freshmen were still complaining about the arduous training and the harsh commanders. Five days later, they no longer had any energy to complain. They were like tamed horses which were extremely docile.
Hence, Xu Zhenyu was branded as an instructor from h.e.l.l.
Previously, the girls were glad to have Xu Zhenyu as their commander because of his handsomeness. However, their initial feelings of joy and excitement were replaced by regret.
They could not help but feel dismayed at the sight of the freshmen from the other teams laughing merrily after completing their training.
Even Wen Xinya had to be punished for two hours for failing to pa.s.s the household ch.o.r.e safety check. “If you fail for the third time, you’ll be punished for three hours. The number of times you fail will be the number of hours you’re punished for.”
Just as they were overwhelmed with fatigue because of the grueling training, Xu Zhenyu exclaimed coldly and sternly, “You guys are in need of training!”
As soon as he finished speaking, even Wen Xinya began gritting her teeth in resentment.
Noticing the looks of displeasure on their faces, Xu Zhenyu questioned sternly, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling indignant?”
Everyone remained silent.
Xu Zhenyu hollered. “Since you’re all satisfied, go down and run for ten rounds around the track. You’d better buck up and train hard from now on.”
Xu Zhenyu’s words made everyone lose control of their emotions. “Is this a joke? Ten rounds… our limit is six. After running ten rounds… will we even still be alive?”
“You’re right. Ten rounds are more than what our bodies can take. We won’t be able to finish the six rounds at all. Commander, no matter how strict you may be, you can’t joke with our health.”
“You may be our commander, but we’re not really your soldiers whom you can punish and train however you want.”
“Commander Xu, don’t go overboard. We’re just students who are going through military training. We’re not your soldiers.”
The students finally cracked under the tremendous pressure inflicted on them. They fervently expressed their anger and resentment towards the commanders, so much that the situation was getting out of control.
Xu Zhenyu hollered. “All of you, shut up.”
Everyone subconsciously kept quiet because they had already gotten used to being ordered around.
Xu Zhenyu questioned sternly, “All of you, are you satisfied or not?”
“No…”
“What rights do you have to make us be satisfied?”
“You may be our commander, but you can’t deny us of our freedom of speech.”
“You can’t be so demanding and tyrannical just because you’re our commander!”
Xu Zhenyu continued, “Are you satisfied or not?”
Extremely angered, everyone yelled, “No!”
They retorted with gusto and anger.
Xu Zhenyu continued, “Louder, I can’t hear you coldly.”
The students barked in exasperation. “No, no…”
They chorused in unison and their collectivism seemed to be able to shake mountains. Even the other teams were stunned and hurriedly cast their glances at Wen Xinya’s team as they wondered what was going on.
Xu Zhenyu suddenly laughed while fiddling with his ear and gibing nonchalantly. “Sure, why do you have to be so loud? I’m going deaf. What are you getting up to?”
…
They were speechless.
