Chapter 148 Torturous Training (2/2)

It took them a few minutes but all ten men were able to swim back. As they got out of the pool, Alex untied them.

”Number seven front and center.” The heavily panting number seven stepped forward.

”You are the last to finish, so you get to start off the next training. Follow me.”

...

Alex brought the ten men into the area of the warehouse they haven't been to yet. This area was like an open field, and in it were six hoops. Alex then handed each men a loaded rifle.

”Okay number seven, while holding that rifle I want you to run and jump through those hoops.” When the ten heard what Alex said, they felt a bit relieved wasn't this easier than the swimming with their hands tied. They were felt relieved too soon. Alex approached the hoops and lit them up, now they were flaming hoops. ”Also since you guys got wet, I better dry you up.”

”Begin!” Number seven didn't want to do this, since a loaded gun and flames don't really go well together. Still he had no choice and he started to run. Number seven who was running while jumping through flaming hoops, felt an extreme adrenaline rush. Midway through the run he stopped being scared.

The other nine also experienced the same thing.

”Okay now that the warm ups are done, time for the real training.” When the ten men heard what Alex said, they almost collapsed in fear. That was a warm up!

”Follow me men.”

...

The next location Alex brought the group was in the forest, near the warehouse. Alex and the group walked deeper into the forest. This time the ten men had backpacks each having different stuff inside.

Once the group was deep enough into the forest Alex spoke.

”Okay then, now I want you men to get back to the warehouse from here. You will set out after five minutes. This training will test how you will cooperate with each other. Let me warn you before hand, I have planted land mines in this whole forest. If you can't remember the safe path we took, then you got to figure a way to find the land mines and pass them safely. Don't worry the land mines I planted aren't strong enough to kill you, but they'll still hurt very much. You will feel like your flesh is tearing. Also if you people don't get back to the warehouse two hours from now, I'll start shooting you from afar. Don't worry I'll be using rubber bullets.”

When the ten men heard what Alex said, they wanted to say something but couldn't. What the hell is wrong with this kid! No this wasn't a kid, this was a demon! How the hell was this training?!

”Okay then, timer starts now.” Alex retreated back to the warehouse, while the ten men looked at him in a daze.
