Zhou Xuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
He stood there, staring blankly at Shen Heng, seemingly not yet understanding what Shen Heng was saying.
"It's Ultraman!" Shen Heng added, explaining further.
However, Zhou Xuan remained standing there blankly, without any reaction.
Shen Heng glanced at Zhou Xuan's incredulous gaze, then awkwardly raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed lightly.
"Never mind, forget I said anything!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan finally snapped out of his daze and abruptly reached out to grasp Shen Heng's hands.
"No! You're absolutely right! Next time, when I reach Third Tier, I'll definitely try asking Ultraman to take a look!"
Looking at Zhou Xuan's eager eyes, Shen Heng pondered for a moment and said, "I feel you should consult a proper deity."
"No, it's alright!" Zhou Xuan shook his head. " Ultraman can't be weak, right? I even feel like I might not be able to summon Ultraman even at Third Tier!"
Shen Heng was slightly taken aback. According to Ultraman's setting, he was indeed not weak. At least Shen Heng felt that Tier 3 Ultraman could not possibly defeat Ultraman.
Zhou Xuan continued speaking.
"So, inviting Ultraman shouldn't be a problem."
"The only uncertainty is what abilities they will possess after we invite them."
"Maybe it's light, flight, or changing size?" Shen Heng pondered. "It can't be some kind of Ultra Fighting Techniques, can it?"
"Uh-huh!"
Zhou Xuan nodded vigorously, excitedly making a cross gesture.
"I'll just raise my hand and unleash a Zeperion Beam! Hahahaha..."
Shen Heng glanced at Zhou Xuan, who was laughing loudly, with some concern.
The thought of the other party actually managing to hire Ultraman, and then going out with his hands crossed, laughing and emitting beams of light, made him feel a little worried.
I don't know if what I just said was right.
night.
Silence reigned all around.
Only the streetlights remained lit within the base.
At one point, accompanied by a "whoosh," the whistle sounded throughout the base.
"Huh? Was it attacked?" someone asked, still confused.
"Don't joke around. These days, who dares to attack, who can attack our Great Xia's military base?"
"So what's this for?"
"This... sounds like the assembly bell?"
"A set? Are you calling us a set?"
"Maybe!"
"But the training camp hasn't even started yet, and the base is so big, they haven't said where we'll meet!"
"This..."
Similar conversations took place in various dormitories.
Some people realized they were being called to assemble and began to put on their clothes.
Some people, unsure, stood by the window, wanting to see if anyone had gone there.
However, many more people remained confused.
Meanwhile, in dormitory 503.
Shen Heng buttoned up the last button and turned to look at Zhou Xuan, who was still putting on his shirt.
"Alright, let's go. Just wear the pants and shoes; you can fix your clothes on the way."
Zhou Xuan nodded, putting on his clothes as he ran outside with Shen Heng, muttering uncertainly:
"Was that bell really meant for us to gather? Nobody told us about that!"
"No one said it, but the map says that we need to get to the training ground within five minutes of hearing the emergency assembly bell?" Shen Heng explained as he ran forward.
Zhou Xuan frowned and thought about it carefully; it seemed there was indeed such a rule.
"They didn't tell us, they just listed it on a map, and it was just one of many lines?"
"Hiss--!"
"That instructor is so cunning!"
Shen Heng ran forward silently.
If I had to be stern, this could indeed be considered a rather underhanded act.
After all, the rules were not clearly stated.
To be precise, there shouldn't be anyone who didn't show up, or only a very small number of people didn't show up.
If you suddenly encounter this now, probably not many people would think to look at a map right away.
However, this was precisely the other party's intention: to give the trainees a rude awakening and, incidentally, to adjust their mindset.
Two minutes later, Shen Heng led Zhou Xuan to the training ground.
This is a very large training ground, at least one kilometer wide and two or three kilometers long.
Unlike other parts of the base, the training ground is not paved with hard, flat concrete; instead, it retains its original soil.
Shen Heng glanced around the training ground, then led Zhou Xuan to the side.
There, a person dressed in a military green uniform was standing.
Chang Lei stood at the meeting point, the second hand on his wristwatch ticking away. He glanced at Shen Heng without saying a word, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
About half a minute later, footsteps came from a distance.
A girl with a short ponytail appeared at the entrance of the training field. She glanced around the training field and then walked straight over.
Not long after, a short-haired man also appeared at the entrance of the training ground.
He glanced at the four people in the training field, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything and walked over to stand beside them.
Over the next two minutes, five more people ran in.
Fang Ran and Cao Mingyu were among these five people.
Fang Ran arrived at approximately four minutes later, while Cao Mingyu arrived four and a half minutes later.
As soon as he entered, Cao Mingyu subconsciously looked for Shen Heng and then secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Shen Heng glanced at it, then returned a faint smile.
Five minutes passed quickly.
Chang Lei glanced at the number of people standing beside him.
Nine people!
There were a total of 30 people in this training camp, which means that 21 people did not arrive on time.
The group continued to wait inside the training field.
Of the remaining twenty people, some arrived late, and some were even lingering in their dormitories.
A dozen minutes later, after waiting for several minutes and still no one had come, Chang Lei picked up a walkie-talkie.
"Announce over the loudspeaker that the rest of you should assemble at the training ground!"
The walkie-talkie was put down, and soon, a notification rang out throughout the military base.
"All participants in this training camp, please assemble at the training venue as soon as possible!"
Repeat!
"All participants in this training camp, please assemble at the training venue as soon as possible!"
Repeat!
"All participants in this training camp, please assemble at the training venue as soon as possible!"
That concludes the briefing.
The remaining few people arrived at the training ground within the next two minutes.
Chang Lei's eyes turned completely cold.
He slowly walked to the front of the line, each step seeming to tread on the nerves of everyone present.
The night wind suddenly turned fierce, and an invisible pressure seemed to be gathering in the air.
"Out of thirty people, only nine arrived on time!"
His voice was deep, yet it exploded in everyone's ears like muffled thunder.
"What do you think you're here for? A picnic? A vacation?"
