Chapter 611: Chapter 298: Don’t Disappoint Me
Li Chang’an gave him a cold look. "Tomorrow’s training is just the beginning. Wait until a real mission comes along. Then you’ll know what true Hell is!"
The smile on Sun Yang’s face froze instantly. He awkwardly climbed into bed and pulled the covers over himself.
"Get some sleep."
Li Chang’an glanced around at everyone and said flatly, "I need you all in better shape tomorrow. Don’t disappoint me."
The next morning, the alarm in the dorm room went off right on time.
None of the Insect Hunter Squad members had slept very soundly, but they were already used to it.
Sun Yang groggily climbed out of bed, yawning. "Waking up before dawn again... This life is too hard.
Captain, can’t we request a later start time? Five in the morning is just not scientific!"
"If you think it’s not scientific, you can apply to quit."
Han Ruoxi, standing in front of her locker while putting on her combat suit, replied coldly, "There’s no time to sleep on the battlefield.
If you really want to slack off, you’d better do it sooner rather than later!"
"Miss Han, don’t you have any consideration for my feelings?"
Sun Yang grumbled as he put on his shoes, "We’re teammates with feelings, you know! I’m the heavy-hitter, you can’t be so heartless, can you?"
"Heavy-hitter?"
Shen Qiuyue had just come out of the washroom, holding a freshly wiped Dueling Sword, her voice tinged with coldness. "If your accuracy had been any worse, we would have all died on the last mission.
Do you even believe you deserve that title?"
"Alright, alright, I’ll shut up, okay?"
Sun Yang waved his hands dismissively and sighed with a look of resignation. "Whatever. You all just gang up on me. I get it."
At five o’clock sharp, the Insect Hunter Squad assembled on the training ground.
Li Chang’an stood in the center of the field, his Saw Chain Sword at his waist, his gaze as sharp as a blade as it swept over each team member.
"Today’s training will focus on reaction speed and team coordination!"
He began, his voice as cold as ice, "The Insect Race’s intelligence is evolving. We have to be faster than them, more in sync, or you won’t stand a chance on the battlefield!"
"Captain, what kind of Hell mode is it this time?"
Sun Yang couldn’t help but ask, his tone probing.
Li Chang’an pointed to several simulation devices behind him. "A dynamic firing range. Your mission is to perform three tasks simultaneously: clear the targets, protect your teammates, and evade attacks.
If a single one of you makes a mistake, the training starts over!"
"Starts over?"
Sun Yang’s eyes widened. "Captain, isn’t that a little too cruel?"
"The battlefield is crueler."
Li Chang’an replied coldly, "If you can’t even handle the training, you’ll just die faster on the battlefield!"
Sun Yang helplessly shut his mouth, not daring to talk back again.
The training began, and the Insect Hunter Squad entered the dynamic firing range.
The range was set up with dozens of high-speed moving targets, while devices simulating Insect Race attacks came at them from various angles.
"Han Ruoxi, deploy the Electric Grid! Restrict the targets’ movement!"
At Li Chang’an’s command, Han Ruoxi immediately raised her Electric Gloves and quickly released a wide Electric Grid, boxing in several groups of moving targets within a designated area.
"Shen Qiuyue, clear the targets! Don’t let them break through the Electric Grid!"
Li Chang’an’s next order followed immediately. Shen Qiuyue gripped her Dueling Sword, charged at incredible speed toward the targets trapped by the grid, and precisely split the first one open.
"Sun Yang, suppressive fire! And stop running around!"
Li Chang’an finally turned to Sun Yang, his tone laced with an unquestionable coldness.
"Roger!"
Sun Yang raised his Pulse Gun and began firing continuously at another target.
His movements were noticeably steadier than before, but his footwork was still a bit messy.
"Sun Yang, adjust your position! Three steps to the left!"
Li Chang’an yelled.
"Left, left, got it!"
Sun Yang quickly adjusted his position while continuing to fire, just barely managing to stabilize the situation.
The difficulty inside the range steadily increased. The simulated Insect Race attack devices came faster and faster, even starting to launch assaults from the ceiling, floor, and side walls simultaneously.
"Bai Lin, watch your right!"
Han Ruoxi shouted the warning while quickly releasing an electric arc that knocked back a simulated attack projectile.
Bai Lin dodged quickly, but he was a second too slow and was nearly hit.
"Focus!"
Li Chang’an’s voice rang out like thunder. "Bai Lin, you’re part of a team, not fighting alone!"
"Understood!"
Bai Lin nodded, refocused, and began to speed up his work on the terminal.
"Still a target on the left that hasn’t been cleared! Shen Qiuyue, move!"
Han Ruoxi reminded Shen Qiuyue while releasing another electric arc.
Without a word, Shen Qiuyue spun around and, with a swing of her Dueling Sword, precisely struck the moving target on the left.
Her movements were clean and efficient, without a single wasted motion.
"Not bad."
Li Chang’an nodded, but his gaze quickly shifted back to Sun Yang. "Sun Yang, your fire concentration still isn’t good enough.
Two targets just broke through your firing range!"
"Captain, they’re too fast! I’m already doing my best!"
Sun Yang shouted while continuing to fire, "Just give me a little more time, I can definitely keep up!"
"The battlefield won’t give you time!"
Li Chang’an replied coldly, then swiftly charged a target, splitting it in two with his Saw Chain Sword. "Remember, every second can be the difference between life and death!"
The training lasted for a full two hours. Everyone was drenched in sweat and gasping for breath.
Nearly all the dynamic targets on the range had been cleared, but the Insect Hunter Squad had also come close to failure several times.
"Not bad."
After the training ended, Li Chang’an glanced at the team and finally offered a slightly comforting remark: "At least you were better than yesterday."
