While waiting for the trainee military lap, Wang Yile glanced at Gu Xiuwen a few more times out of the corner of his eye.
He had heard some of Gu Xiuwen's deeds.
The Gu Family is considered a prestigious family in the Federation, and Gu Xiuwen is the only son of the Gu Family in this generation.
His birth was originally seen as a sign of great hope by his clan, but when he later awakened his special ability, he only developed a supportive ability.
The specifics of the superpower have not been revealed, presumably because the Gu Family doesn't want their scandalous affairs to be discussed by outsiders.
From then on, Gu Xiuwen began to take unconventional paths.
He neither attended military school nor made much of a public appearance. In his spare time, he set up an underground black market and made a name for himself, but compared to joining the Federation Command Bureau, this achievement was nothing.
But for some unknown reason, Gu Xiuwen was parachuted into their battalion and directly promoted to the rank of major, one rank higher than him.
Wang Yile pursed his lips and silently looked away.
Half an hour later, Xu Jintang easily completed the tenth lap.
The training field is very large; it takes at least ten minutes to run around it.
After ten laps, many trainee soldiers were panting heavily.
Wang Yile stood to the side and shouted, "Ten laps left! If you can't finish, don't bother training this afternoon, just run here!"
The trainee soldiers, who originally wanted to stop and rest, were spurred on and had no choice but to grit their teeth and keep running.
Gu Xiuwen pursed his thin lips and suddenly spoke, "My team did quite well in training yesterday, let's skip the remaining ten laps."
Wang Yile paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since Captain Gu has spoken, let's skip it."
Gu Xiuwen stepped down the stairs and waved to Xu Jintang, who was still running laps. "Okay, let's go train."
Xu Jintang understood his lip movements and immediately stopped.
Fang Kexin behind her also stopped in their tracks.
"It's great to have the captain backing you up," Fatty Fang remarked smugly.
Wang Qian breathed a slight sigh of relief, her rapid breathing gradually calming down.
Standing on the stage, Wang Yile stroked his chin and smiled as he watched Xu Jintang and the others leave.
"This Captain Gu is quite protective of his own."
Gu Xiuwen personally participated in the initial team selection process, and Xu Jintang and the other four were essentially team members he personally chose.
Within a simulated battlefield.
The yellow monitoring area in the command center.
Xu Jintang sat intently in the main monitoring position, his eyes fixed on the monitor screen in front of him.
Yesterday's training included not only monster invasions, but also foreign invasions, high-damage weapon lock-on attacks, and warnings of natural disasters such as natural calamities.
Having experienced so many failures, she had figured out all the unusual situations.
"Beep beep--beep--" The alarm sounded again.
Xu Jintang quickly focused his attention, his eyes scanning the surveillance footage rapidly.
After about two seconds, her gaze fixed on a certain spot.
According to the patrol schedule of the Command Camp, a group of guards would pass by this gate every five minutes.
But now that time has passed, there's still no sign of patrolling guards.
She immediately pushed the lever, zoomed in on the scene where the situation was abnormal, and then marked it with a red circle.
"A patrol oversight has occurred at coordinates 309,782. Immediately notify nearby control towers and patrolling troops to verify the situation."
Fang Kexin was in charge of communications, immediately rushed into the adjacent area to report the situation.
Wang Qian and Mo Yuqi, who were sitting at the left and right monitoring stations, quickly turned their satellite cameras to track and film the anomaly.
The logistics Fatty Fang, also tensed up, standing aside waiting for instructions.
"Two patrol guards have been found unconscious at coordinates 290,134. An intrusion by foreign forces has been confirmed. Activate the alarm mode immediately," Wang Qian said calmly.
"Receive."
"Receive."
The "didi" alarm is still going off.
Xu Jintang group of five were completely unaffected and continued to calmly carry out their tasks.
"Bite--"
"This simulated practical training session has been completed. Congratulations to the trainee soldiers for passing this training session."
Completion time: 5 seconds.
Rating: Excellent.
Chapter 159
After the mission ended, Xu Jintang and his four companions were quickly ejected from the simulated battlefield.
As light returned, Xu Jintang slowly opened her eyes, opened the simulator door, and jumped down while holding onto the handle.
Gu Xiuwen turned around, his gaze falling on the five people. "You did a good job. Take a lunch break first, and this afternoon I'll take you to try other practical training exercises."
Xu Jintang took the lead and answered, "Yes!"
After the group disbanded, Xu Jintang and Fang Kexin walked side by side toward the military canteen.
"We always head to the cafeteria after training, but why does our Captain Gu always head to the training field?" Fang Kexin asked curiously, looking at Gu Xiuwen walking ahead.
Xu Jintang looked up.
Gu Xiuwen strode towards the training ground without the slightest hesitation, his figure gradually shrinking.
"Maybe there's some kind of mission." Xu Jintang didn't pay much attention, quickly looked away, and continued walking resolutely towards the cafeteria.
Don't be fooled by the fact that their practical training is all done sitting down.
A state of intense concentration is extremely physically demanding.
There weren't many people in the cafeteria, probably because other teams hadn't finished their morning training yet.
Xu Jintang and his group of five quickly got their food and sat down.
The atmosphere at the table was very quiet during the meal, with everyone focused on eating.
"We're really unlucky. We're assigned a captain who has no power. Not only do we have to run twenty laps, but our training sessions are also longer than everyone else's."
"Sigh, there's no comparison. They have connections; even their reports are late."
A group of trainees who had just entered the cafeteria suddenly had this kind of conversation, sarcastic and clearly ill-intentioned.
Fatty Fang was picking up food with his chopsticks, frowned, slammed his hand on the table, and stood up. "Are you sick in the head? What are you talking about with that sarcastic tone?"
Xu Jintang had been eating quietly, also put down his chopsticks and looked up at the group of people opposite him.
The first sentence was an insult to their entire team, but the second sentence about nepotism was specifically directed at her.
Xu Jintang crossed his arms in front of him. "What do you mean?"
Fang Kexin and Mo Yuqi did the same, both looking at the group with stern faces.
Feng Ruihan paused, quickly composed himself, and looked back at Xu Jintang expressionlessly, his demeanor condescending. "What's wrong with me? Aren't you a nepotism case who arrived late for the report?"
Xu Jintang laughed speechlessly, "Since you know I'm a relative, why don't you go and report me? You don't dare to report me, so you're just making a fuss here. To put it bluntly, you're just envious and jealous."
Feng Ruihan froze, his mouth slightly agape, unable to utter a sound for a long time.
Fang Kexin, standing to the side, chuckled in agreement, "Exactly, what's the use of just talking? If you really can't stand it, go ahead and report it. You should report every single leader in the Command Camp from top to bottom, and get a thorough investigation."
Feng Ruihan's face turned ugly, his lips were tightly pursed, and his hands were clenched into fists.
"Captain, don't bother with them, we have other training sessions later," a teammate behind us reminded him promptly.
Everyone knows that the people you absolutely shouldn't mess with are those with connections. Who knows which leader is standing behind her? What if it's someone with a lot of power? They'll all be in deep trouble.
Feng Ruihan understood this principle, so he would only make sarcastic remarks, but dared not do anything in reality.
Feng Ruihan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and turned to walk to the other side.
Xu Jintang ignored him and continued eating.
" Sister Jintang," Fatty Fang suddenly chuckled, looking over with a gossipy expression, "How powerful is the connection you have behind you?"
After spending the last two days together, everyone recognized Xu Jintang's abilities, so even though they knew she was a relative, no one had any objections; on the contrary, they were a little curious.
Xu Jintang paused in his act of picking up food.
The Commander-in-Chief probably has the strongest connections in the entire Federation, right?
She didn't elaborate, only nodding repeatedly, "It's quite hard."
With those words, Fang Kexin and the others suddenly felt more confident.
Fatty Fang slapped his thigh arrogantly, "You should have said so earlier! If you had such a powerful backer, I would have latched onto you long ago."
"Sis!" Fatty Fang immediately put on a fawning smile, "From now on, I'll follow you."
Mo Yuqi gave him a subtle look.
Fang Kexin's lips twitched twice. "You're quite the informal one."
After finishing their meal, Xu Jintang and his group of five came out of the cafeteria.
At this time, the trainees from other teams finished their training one after another and began to walk towards the canteen.
"Looking at it this way, our Captain Gu is really great; he's never made us stay after school," Fang Kexin suddenly remarked.
Mo Yuqi stated rather objectively, "One possibility is that we completed our practical training tasks faster than other teams, which is why we finished training quickly as well."
"Mm." Wang Qian nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Fatty Fang followed Xu Jintang expectantly, like a little brother, "Sis, when do we start practicing this afternoon?"
Xu Jintang replied as he walked, "You'll have to ask Captain Gu about that."
"Hey, what's Captain Gu compared to you? Your backing is definitely more powerful than Captain Gu's!" Fatty Fang said, his eyes sparkling.
Xu Jintang glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, "When you see Captain Gu this afternoon, you'd better repeat these words to his face."
These words finally brought Fatty Fang to his senses.
He chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head sheepishly. "I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll shut up."
The first week of training in the Command Camp was mostly tedious; as soon as you opened your eyes, you were in a simulated battlefield for practical training.
Repeat and familiarize yourself with it over and over again.
Xu Jintang and his four companions progressed rapidly during training. However, in the second week, Gu Xiuwen suddenly announced, "Today, we're suspending practical training and taking you to visit the Armament Camp, Logistics Camp, and Recruit Camp."
