Day after day, night after night, time always passed in the blink of an eye.

The two elders and Section Chief Zhou had left five days ago.

During these five days, no one was clear on what the top brass had discussed or how they would proceed afterwards.

However, with actual products like Guo Yi around, everyone knew what the end of the road was, and they were even clearer on how to walk toward that end of the road.

Not to mention, to increase persuasiveness, the two elders had even taken a dog clone along to answer questions and give demonstrations for certain people.

One could imagine that Guo Yi would undoubtedly become a giant of the nation and a national treasure-level scientist afterwards.

It was just that they didn't know exactly what level he would reach...

Therefore, although the members of Lone Wolf B Team and War Wolf were bored over these five days, they didn't dare slack off for even a second!

After all, the commotion they made earlier hadn't been small. If it were a regular arrest, it would be over once the arrest was made.

If people discovered it, they discovered it—you commit a crime within your own borders, and you aren't allowed to be arrested?

However, they had struck gold now.

If someone sneaked in at a time like this, the whole lot of them could retire and lose face to continue staying.

As for special police?

God knows!

Even if they knew, they had to pretend they didn't know!

At the same time, on the second day after Lone Wolf B Team's report, Geng Jihui and Li Zhijun simultaneously received the latest order: three days later in the morning, at 0900 hours, corresponding medicinal herbs would be transported here.

The members of Lone Wolf B Team and War Wolf First Squad would henceforth receive Guo Yi's Gundam Pilot Training together!

Upon receiving this order, when Geng Jihui and Li Zhijun met, they exchanged a heartbroken glance.

What Geng Jihui felt heartache over was that there were actually other people training with them, when it was clearly they who had gone to apply for it!

Their peaches were stolen!

Meanwhile, what Li Zhijun felt heartache over was that the members of First Squad would likely be impossible to keep afterwards, and his precious darlings were estimated to have been poached!

Their peaches were stolen!

Both sides wished they could hug each other and have a good cry!

As for Guo Yi.

Over these five days, aside from the second day when Geng Jihui told him about the latest order and he went out to make ten sets of special training suits, the rest of the time he holed up in his own small room, quietly doing experiments.

In the entire underground factory, over these five days, aside from the sound of Lone Wolf B Team working out, the whirring of instruments, and the sparse sounds of robots at work, there was nothing else.

As for today, it was the time for the medicinal herbs to arrive.

Geng Jihui and the others stood at the factory intersection five days—five minutes in advance, excitedly looking at the military transport convoy driving in from afar: this boring life was finally going to end!

The convoy stopped at the intersection, and amidst the curiosity of the surrounding residents, an officer jumped down from the lead vehicle.

"Hello, I am the captain for this material transport. Just call me Old Li.

Here is the manifest, please check and tally it."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work." Geng Jihui took the manifest, then picked up a tablet and scanned it, subsequently holding the tablet and scanning through the vehicles one by one.

"Beep, passed!"

Geng Jihui looked at the text on the tablet, then nodded at the transport officer: "Thank you for your hard work! Next, Colonel Li will take you to rest!"

With that, Geng Jihui waved at the others, and each drove a vehicle away.

"Let's go, Old Li."

Looking at the transport team members who were full of curiosity and staring at the departing vehicles, Li Zhijun said as if talking to himself: "Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, and don't discuss what shouldn't be known!"

Old Li shuddered, snapped out of it, and said enthusiastically to Li Zhijun: "Arrange the vehicles. No resting, we still have work when we go back."

As for Old Li and his men's affairs, Geng Jihui and the others didn't know.

After the ten of them drove the vehicles into the factory and arrived at the underground factory, they were given a start.

Dense packs of spider-type robots quietly held various tools, two bulbous eyes staring at them as they got out of the cars.

"What is this for?" Ostrich and Shi Dafan walked over to Guo Yi and asked curiously.

"Weren't you guys curious about how trucks used to disappear?"

Guo Yi smiled faintly at them, then gave a big wave of his hand: "Doggie, go!"

Click~ Click~ Click...

Following Guo Yi's words, the spider-type robots on the ground swarmed toward the vehicles.

Those moving boxes moved boxes; those dismantling cars dismantled cars.

They saw those herb boxes being lifted by the half-meter-large spider-type robots, running off to goodness knows where in the blink of an eye.

As for the vehicles, they continuously decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A spider-type robot swung two big blades, cutting the steel bars at the cargo container into small sections in just two or three strokes.

Subsequently, a spider-type robot lifted a magnetic picker, adsorbed the steel bars, and also ran off...

The vehicle shells were the same, easily being hacked into pieces and then hoisted away as they ran...

In less than a meager half-hour, all the vehicles and medicinal herbs were moved away and dismantled by these spider-type robots, as if the vehicles and herbs had never appeared at all.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this efficiency is not bad!"

Ostrich looked at this clean-as-before place and praised.

"Let's go!"

Guo Yi ignored Ostrich's praise, and seeing that all the materials had been moved away, he led the crowd to a room and then produced their respective training suits.

Following that, Guo Yi looked at them with a serious face, fell silent for a moment, and then said coldly to them: "Welcome to hell!"

The crowd twitched the corners of their mouths, and Ostrich supported his forehead and said speechlessly: "You're not Doghead Lao Gao...

Besides, we all came out of hell week, and you squeezed out this sentence after holding it in for so long..."

"Isn't this just setting the mood~" Guo Yi, who had put on a straight face, instantly collapsed, and said uninterestingly to them: "Put them on, and go run.

There are automatic treadmills inside the door behind; just keep running!"

Subsequently, Guo Yi also produced the previous black stick-like objects, one for each person, and additionally presented an earpiece and a pair of seemingly very ordinary goggles: "Your food in the future will be these; they are enough for the consumption of your training all day!

Bite off a few chunks yourself when you're hungry; I custom-made them for you.

The earpieces can communicate directly with me, and the goggles have real-time monitoring of your own bodies.

When your bodies turn completely red, just find a coffin inside the room and lie down in it!

The main point is, don't look for me if nothing's up~ That's it~"

Having said that, Guo Yi ruffled his hair and ignored the crowd's bewildered little faces as he left the room.

"Just this?" Ostrich looked at the clothes and small parts in his hand, and said speechlessly: "I thought it was some kind of scientific training~ Just this?"

"Hehe, put them on and run." Shi Dafan was the first to make a move, saying with a laugh: "We can only obey arrangements now!"

Leng Feng was also changing while laughing despite himself: "Why do I feel like we fell into a pit."

"Hey hey hey~ You guys are just changing clothes and training like this?" Ostrich looked as everyone started changing clothes, and also dilatorily changed his clothes while chattering away incessantly: "No, I'm saying, shouldn't we report to the top brass?

Our future is the sea of stars, and what kind of ghost is this running?

It's too perfunctory..."

"Alright, hurry up!" Geng Jihui interrupted Ostrich's grumbling and directly ordered: "Hurry up and change clothes, train according to orders!"

When everyone had changed into their clothes, they held onto their last shred of hope and pushed open the door inside the room.
