Chapter 111: Break

"Someone wants to take action against the training camp?" Yuan Gang's eyes narrowed slightly. "Are they crazy? With so many instructors guarding this place, with both overt and covert means at our disposal, how dare they?"

"Some people, as long as the benefit is big enough, will do anything."

"A boot camp for rookies, what kind of benefit could there possibly be?"

"You know better than I do, what kind of people are in this training camp, Instructor Yuan," Chen Muye spoke calmly.

Yuan Gang opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately fell silent.

"Do you know what price is currently being offered for the head of the young heir of the BaiLi Group on the black market?" Chen Muye raised his hand and made a gesture with his fingers.

"Eight hundred million. Someone is willing to pay eight hundred million to take the life of the only heir of the BaiLi Group."

This was no small number. Eight hundred million was enough to drive many people to risk everything!

Killing the young heir of the BaiLi Group might be impossible in Guangshen, but in this small city of Cangnan… I believe many would be willing to take the risk.

Instructor Yuan, do you really think the defenses of this training camp are more foolproof than the headquarters of the BaiLi Group?"

Chen Muye paused briefly, then continued.

"Moreover, aside from the young heir of the BaiLi family, there is also an unprecedented dual-god agent in your camp!

Though not many people know about this yet, do you think the Ancient God Church's power is unaware of it? Do you think they'll just quietly watch as Lin QiYe grows stronger?

With a young heir from the BaiLi Group and a dual-god agent in your camp, as long as these two exist, you will never escape the whirlpool they bring.

They have been waiting for five months, and now that they've started to act, they must have made full preparations. Now… do you still think this training camp is safe?"

Yuan Gang fell silent for a long time, his eyes filled with determination. "As long as I'm here, no one can harm them."

"You are the vice-captain of the Night Watch team in Upper Capital City, a strong force from the Sea Realm. With you here, of course it's safe. But…" Chen Muye's gaze sharpened, and he slowly said,

"Can you guarantee that there are no traitors among the instructors?"

Bang!

Yuan Gang suddenly stood up from his seat, staring intensely at Chen Muye.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Never underestimate the temptation of profit. Never trust the unwavering strength of human nature… As I said, eight hundred million is enough to make most people go mad!

Even if your instructors are united, I know that among the Ancient God Church's agents, there are many who specialize in manipulating minds. Can you guarantee that none of your instructors have been controlled?"

"So, according to you, our training camp is now surrounded by internal and external dangers?" Yuan Gang sneered. "If we can't even protect our own training camp, how do you think your Team 136 can keep Lin QiYe safe?"

"Because we only have six people, and we understand each other completely. At least we don't have internal problems. As for external threats…" Chen Muye smiled slightly.

"Team 136 has never feared external threats."

Yuan Gang looked at Chen Muye, falling into deep thought.

The Night Watch team in Upper Capital City could be said to be the leader of all the Night Watch teams in Daxia, bringing together the best of the best. Yuan Gang being the vice-captain was no accident—he was no fool.

Just as Chen Muye said, the training camp was a big target, with over a hundred instructors and logistical staff. Among so many people… could he really guarantee there were no traitors?

If the situation outside was truly as dire as Chen Muye had described, defending against attacks from all sides would already be difficult enough. If there were traitors inside causing trouble, the situation could become extremely dangerous.

After thinking for a long time, Yuan Gang slowly sat back down. "So, what do you think we should do now?"

Chen Muye lightly tapped his fingers on the table and said each word slowly.

"Slip away, break into smaller groups."

...

The sharp sound of a whistle echoed in the sky.

The recruits rushed out of the dormitory building, sprinting toward the training field. Within three minutes, everyone had gathered under the combat platform.

Instructor Hong counted the numbers and nodded slightly.

"Good, after five months of training, you all have a bit of the soldier's spirit."

The recruits stood tall, their gazes sharp as swords.

"This afternoon, we won't be training physical fitness. Instead, I have an announcement to make…" Instructor Hong scanned the crowd, a slight smile curling on his lips. "The first half of this training, the physical fitness portion, will end a month ahead of schedule!"

In other words, from today onward, our training will shift towards tactics, firearms, and forbidden areas!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the recruits erupted into excited whispers.

"QiYe, QiYe! Did you hear that? The nightmare is finally over…" BaiLi Pangpang was so moved he nearly cried.

Lin QiYe also let out a long sigh of relief. Physical fitness training was important, but no one wanted to work themselves to the bone every day. The news that physical training was ending early was a great joy to everyone.

"Also!" Instructor Hong spoke again, and the crowd instantly quieted.

"After unanimous discussion among the instructors, it has been decided that before the next phase of training begins, we will give everyone a break!

From today until the second day of the New Year, a total of four days off!"

If the previous announcement had only made them excited, this one left everyone stunned for a moment before they erupted into cheers!

"Holy crap!! QiYe! Did you hear that?! We're really getting a break!" BaiLi Pangpang grabbed Lin QiYe's clothes, so excited he looked like a child weighing over two hundred pounds.

"Are we really getting a break?" Cao Yuan widened his eyes, unable to believe his ears.

"QiYe! Go pack your things, I'm taking you to Guangshen for some fun…"

Before BaiLi Pangpang could finish his sentence, Instructor Hong added another announcement.

"However! No one is allowed to leave Cangnan. If anyone violates this rule, their Night Watch qualifications will be immediately revoked!"

BaiLi Pangpang: ...

Lin QiYe patted his shoulder. "Don't expect me to help you. I don't even have a place of my own."

"Everyone, go back to your dorms and pack your things. You'll gather at the training field in half an hour. Buses will take you out. Do you understand?!"

"Understood!"

"Dismissed!"

Whoosh—!

The originally orderly formation instantly broke apart, and the faces of all the recruits were filled with excitement. Although they couldn't go home, just stepping out for a breath of fresh air and experiencing the world outside was still something to look forward to.

"QiYe, let's go! Go pack your stuff!" BaiLi Pangpang called when he saw Lin QiYe standing still, not moving.

Lin QiYe furrowed his brows slightly, pausing for a moment in thought, then spoke up.

"Don't you guys think… this break is a bit too sudden?"
