Chapter 98: The Large-Scale Social Death Scene

Thud!!

As Bai Li Pang Pang finished speaking, a drone suddenly emerged from the woods behind and shot a paintball at a new recruit, hitting him in the back.

The recruit was momentarily stunned, staggered a few steps, then felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground, his legs giving way.

Moments later, two instructors emerged from the bushes and dragged the unconscious recruit into the small forest with malicious grins.

Bai Li Pang Pang, witnessing this, cursed under his breath and quickly ran a few steps.

"What the hell! Isn't that supposed to be a paintball gun? Why did he faint after being hit? And what's with those two instructors? Judging by their expressions, that guy's chastity is in serious danger!"

Bai Li Pang Pang caught up to Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan, unable to hold back from commenting.

Cao Yuan fell silent for a moment. "Could the punishment for failure be... the loss of chastity?"

"I don't think so..." Lin Qiye twitched his lips. "There are quite a few female soldiers in our group!"

"True, but then what are those instructors doing in the small forest?"

Bai Li Pang Pang glanced back at the small forest, his tiny eyes filled with confusion.

The two instructors dragged the unconscious recruit and laid him on a nearby stretcher, carrying him back down to the starting point at the foot of the mountain.

"Is this the first recruit to be eliminated from extreme training this year?" One of the instructors grinned with excitement as they watched the recruit being carried away.

"Put the [Truth Ring] on him, then turn on the microphone and connect it to all the recruits' Bluetooth speakers..." Instructor Hong issued instructions calmly.

Soon, the recruit was awakened and strapped to a chair, unable to move.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me?"

The instructor's voice suddenly came from all the recruits' backpacks, making them jump in surprise. Lin Qiye and his team stopped in their tracks.

"They even equipped the backpacks with speakers? What are they planning?" Lin Qiye asked, astonished.

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from the speakers again.

"Good, you can hear me. Now, let's begin the punishment. Your name's Wang Liang, right? What's the most shameful thing you've ever done?"

"When I was seven, I secretly watched the older sister from the neighbor's house take a bath."

"Oh? Was it nice?"

"It was really nice. She had a great figure—curvy in all the right places—and was sweet-looking. I hid behind the wall and peeked through the window gap. It was pretty clear from that angle."

"Did she catch you?"

"Once, yes. She told my mom, and that night I got beaten up badly."

"Oh~ So, you liked that older sister?"

"I did. I often dreamt about her at night. Sometimes I even..."

"...."

Wang Liang's face turned bright red, his facial muscles tensed, but he couldn't stop his mouth from speaking. His hands were tightly strapped to the chair, leaving him completely immobile.

In front of him, Instructor Hong continued asking these mortifying questions with a completely serious face.

The other instructors, who were outside listening to the conversation, were struggling to keep their composure but eventually couldn't hold back their laughter, starting to laugh out loud together.

Inside Mount Jinnan, all 238 remaining recruits, except for the one who was eliminated, stopped and began to laugh loudly.

"Hahaha! Wang Liang actually has this kind of embarrassing story!"

"Scoundrel! You peeked at your neighbor's sister taking a bath?! And you didn't even bring me along?!"

"I'm dying of laughter, this guy always brags about how big he is. Turns out it's only four centimeters, hahahahaha..."

"..."

As they laughed, their expressions slowly changed.

An unprecedented chill suddenly surged in their hearts, and their faces became as ugly as frostbitten eggplants.

Bai Li Pang Pang swallowed hard, his face turning pale, his voice hoarse as he said:

"This... this is the punishment for being hit?"

"It must be some kind of forbidden item that forces people to tell the truth... This move is ruthless!" Lin Qiye couldn't help but comment.

The three of them exchanged a brief glance before they immediately turned and ran deeper into Mount Jinnan. Bai Li Pang Pang, somehow energized, even ended up running ahead of the others.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, as if flames were about to burst out of him.

Is this really a punishment?

This is a full-on social death scene!

These instructors, with no morals or bottom line, are asking anything and everything!

Under the influence of that Superpower object, even personal details slipped out. If it were me in Wang Liang's position... the result would be unimaginable!

At this moment, all the new recruits seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, their eyes bloodshot as they charged forward!

At the foot of the mountain, in a temporarily erected tactical tent, Instructor Hong watched the red dots rapidly moving across the screen and nodded in satisfaction.

"How's the effect? Not bad, right?"

Instructor Han, clutching his stomach from laughing too hard, gave him a thumbs-up.

"Impressive!"

…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

Several missiles zipped through the jungle, followed by screams, and then the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground.

Lin Qiye furrowed his brows and looked toward the side of the forest. In the next moment, he swiftly retreated, narrowly avoiding two missiles.

"The drones are encircling us from the left," he said in a low voice.

"Then we have no choice but to move to the right," Cao Yuan said, looking toward the other side with a grim expression. "But that area's terrain is much more rugged. It'll drain more of our stamina."

"I... I feel like these instructors are doing this on purpose!" Bai Li Pang Pang gasped for breath. "They're trying to force us into those cursed places!"

"We have no other option," Cao Yuan replied calmly.

Lin Qiye was the first to dash into the dense forest, filled with rocks and ancient trees, running, leaping, dodging, and weaving as his tactical knife sliced through the branches that blocked his path. He moved forward with great difficulty.

In no time, his uniform was stained with dirt, and his hands were scratched by the sharp tree branches.

After all, he was still just a high school student. Although he had undergone a month of training, his physical condition was still limited. The continuous intense exercise quickly drained his energy, and his movements started to slow down.

On the other hand, Cao Yuan seemed unusually resilient. Even after running for so long, he was only slightly out of breath and didn't seem overly fatigued.

As for Bai Li Pang Pang... he looked like he was on the verge of collapse, but somehow, he found the strength to keep pushing forward, step by step. No one knew what secret he was hiding, but he was terrified of that punishment.

Lin Qiye chopped through another vine blocking his path and was about to move forward when he suddenly heard a rustling sound, accompanied by faint buzzing from the distance.

At that moment, Shen Qingzhu also cut through an obstacle nearby and appeared directly in front of Lin Qiye.

The two locked eyes, both momentarily stunned.

Then, two waves of drones appeared, one coming from the front and the other from behind, surrounding them.

"Damn, this is bad!" they cursed in unison.
