Chapter 113 Glorious Years
The military has always been a world where the strong are respected, and after this, everyone respected this young instructor wholeheartedly, both verbally and in their hearts!
However, during the training that followed, these ace special forces truly experienced the devilish nature of this instructor, and even today, the memories are still vivid.
The first thing this young man taught them was how to sleep, which drew laughter from the group when they first heard it—everyone thought, "Who can't sleep? Isn't that simple?"
It didn't take long for them to realize they had laughed too soon.
This young man actually required them to fall asleep within three minutes when they were most excited and to enter deep sleep within five minutes!
Even immortals couldn't accomplish such a task. Naturally, at the beginning, no one succeeded!
His punishment was also very simple: no food, no water, no sleep for three days!
Then, he taught a set of meditation techniques. Many people didn't take this mysterious subject seriously at first.
The young man didn't say much. After completing the instruction, he had everyone try to sleep again.
Despite being extremely tired, under these conditions of dry throat and gnawing hunger, it became even harder to fall asleep.
Only an extremely small number of people managed to enter deep sleep through the techniques he taught.
As for those who still couldn't sleep, he gave them only a small cup of water and a bun, followed by another three days of starvation.
His punishments were simple and brutal!
After three days, the young man taught the meditation techniques again, and this time, everybody started to seriously grasp its subtleties.
To their surprise, although their stomachs were unbearably hungry, the meditation techniques allowed their minds to enter a serene state, and they quickly fell asleep.
Of course, there were still a few who didn't pass. The young man remained silent as always and simply called in a helicopter to send those people back to their original units.
Just as those who passed felt a sigh of relief for surviving the week's ordeal, the young man ruthlessly shattered their illusions once again!
The following week was the complete opposite of the previous one: he forced them to stay awake. Not only were they deprived of sleep during that week, but they also had to complete various tasks.
None of these tasks were easy. They demanded a lot of both mental and physical strength!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
By the third day, almost everyone had run out of strength, their heads filled with mush.
Yet this young man was utterly unmoved, like a cold-blooded creature!
His punishments also became more varied, but each was clearly not easy to endure.
Like this, he continuously stimulated everyone's potential, over and over to the point where even they couldn't believe what they were capable of achieving!
The phrase the young man said most often was—"Don't think of yourself as human!"
Of course, the eliminations continued relentlessly!
Next, he conducted various kinds of training, most of which were unheard of by these ace special forces.
Two months later, the team was still reduced to fewer than 20 people, with two-thirds no longer present.
By then, the various trainings were largely completed, and the next month, the young man led them in real combat exercises.
For the remaining dozen or so people, this month was an experience they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
It could also be the most incredible and fantastical month of their lives!
From Central Asia to Eastern Europe, from Latin America to Africa, they left their shadows all over the world...
In Syria, they fought against the Revolutionary Army to rescue expatriates;
They had also penetrated deep into the mountains and destroyed a terrorist camp with thousands of members;
They equally, based on a slender thread of clues, took down a multinational company from America.
And the true nature of this company was an espionage firm primarily conducting operations against China.
...
Over the past month, they had executed several incidents that shocked the international community.
It's just that they cleaned up their tracks so thoroughly that no one knew it was their doing!
When they returned to these deep mountains that day, all of them had lost their previous radiance, each looking like frostbitten eggplants.
It was because they knew that this young man—their leader—was about to leave them, and perhaps from then on, they would scatter to the corners of the world, never to meet again...
It was also on that day that they learned the young man's name for the first time—Su Chen!
From then on, the name "Su Chen" was deeply etched in these people's hearts.
He was their leader, and in their hearts, a god!
When Yunlong returned to his original unit, although he was immediately promoted, he had already lost the desire to stay in the military.
Having seen the highest views, returning to the original unit seemed rather tasteless and uninteresting.
Moreover, at that time, the Yun Family patriarch was in poor health and urgently summoned him to take over, so he left the military.
Although he had left the unit, his thoughts were always on his leader, the man he could say had changed his destiny for life!
Only after following him did he realize just how wonderful the world could be!
Fortunately, the Yun Family had significant influence in Jiangnan, so he asked a friend from the provincial Public Security Department to look up information on Su Chen.
That friend readily agreed, but unexpectedly, just two days later, he came knocking.
"Who exactly is this big shot you had me investigate? He even managed to alarm the Special Security Bureau?"
As soon as that friend from the provincial department saw him, he started to complain, his expression still somewhat shocked.
"How is that possible?"
Yunlong was also astonished; he knew that matters involving the Special Security Bureau were major issues!
He had merely investigated someone's information, so why had it directly alarmed the Special Security Bureau, bypassing even the National Security Bureau?
He couldn't help but privately wonder, what exactly was his leader's identity?
"That's not all," said Yunlong's friend incredulously. "I had just looked up his information, opened it, and do you know what I saw? Six-star classified secrecy."
"Less than a second later, my phone rang. He said he was from the Special Security Bureau, and he gave me a severe warning."
"Six-star classified secrecy?"
Yunlong was completely dumbfounded; having served in the military, he knew what six-star meant—it was the highest level of classified information!
If leaked, it would constitute an undeniable crime of treason!
Not only would the person responsible be executed by firing squad, but also everyone related to them would face life imprisonment!
At this thought, Yunlong was already breaking out in a cold sweat...
"You think it ended there?"
His friend twisted his mouth and said.
"What else could there be?"
Yunlong, now completely overcome, blurted out.
"An hour after that phone call, the director of the Special Security Bureau actually took a special flight from Yandu to see me personally. He found me, conducted a thorough investigation, and I was only released half an hour ago."
Hearing this, Yunlong's mind was completely unable to process it.
His friend had barely clicked open the file, saw nothing, and yet, within an hour, the director of the Special Security Bureau had rushed over personally!
The implications of this were almost self-evident!
