Chapter 789 - The Story of Ling and Heng (1/2)

When she heard their words, Feng Ling kept one hand against the ground and raised her other hand to wipe her sweat away. She spoke to Qiao Fei with gratitude: “There’s no need to reduce the intensity. I can keep up. It’s fine.”

Nanheng did not seem to appreciate her words. He only gave her an indifferent glance. “You better keep up. Otherwise, you can scram back to Team One.”

The other four exhausted men immediately fell into a heavy silence. Their boss has always been harsh. In moments like this, no one dared to say a single word against him.

Qiao Fei still wanted to continue. Nanheng furrowed his brows. “Are you done with the handover work for Team Two? If you’re not, scram back and get it done. What are you standing here for? Do I keep you here for you to daydream?”

When everyone heard these words, they quickly resumed their training, fearful of being their boss’s next target.

The sniper team trained continuously through the afternoon before they were eventually given a thirty minute break. They then left for dinner when the sky turned dark but had to resume their training right after. They then paused for another thirty minutes before resuming until it was 9:00 p.m. Finally, they were released for the night.

The training hours were not decided by Boss Li but by the person-in-charge of the American Police Bureau. As snipers were a valued, but rare resource in America, they hoped to accelerate the training for these potential members.

At 9:00 p.m. sharp, the group was dismissed.

Feng Ling’s clothes were soaked with sweat. She scanned the other four trainees; no one was spared.

In fact, the sniper team was not the only one receiving this sort of hellish training. Typically, most of the teams here were trained firmly. However, compared to their previous training, this was indeed much harder. The five of them had no choice but to endure it.

It was really hard to imagine that in the base that stood behind the American Police and Army force, were a group of members that repetitively trained in this manner everyday.

However, Feng Ling had been on several missions before and she understood. The so-called XI Base did not only represent honor. Honor was but one of the returns they picked up amidst the dangers. At the core of XI Base was in fact the risks. Whenever there was an important mission, it would be accompanied by a certain level of risk. It was just that the past few years have been relatively peaceful and there weren’t much that would threaten lives.

The difficult training they were receiving right now would eventually become the foundation that would protect them in dangerous situations. If they couldn’t even endure this much, they truly did not have the rights to experience life and death with their comrades. They would also lose the most basic right to be a member of the XI Base.

Stamina was always the most basic requirement.

Although they had dinner, they really expended far too much energy. K gathered the men and called for Feng Ling to join them for another round of food.

Feng Ling glanced back. Nanheng had barely rested since the afternoon; he had stayed here the whole time to train them.

She paused for a moment before answering: “K, you guys go ahead. I ate a lot tonight. I’m not hungry right now.”

After speaking, she left in the direction Nanheng headed for with quick steps. She attempted to catch up to his silhouette.

She wanted to tell him that since she was able to endure through this afternoon’s training, she would definitely be able to hold on for the subsequent days as well. She hoped that Boss Li wouldn’t be affected by what other people said. She was capable of receiving all of the training and did not need to be trained separately.

Of course, she also did not wish to receive that special treatment.
