The Devil King’s punishment compared to Q King’s punishment… would only be harsher.
The significance behind an emergency assembly was to maintain a unit’s combat effectiveness and their discipline, keeping their guard up at all times, no matter when their orders arrive; they would be able to carry it out as soon as possible.
Ordinary units demand their members to have clothing standard to their dress code and equipped with their related weapons and equipment within five minutes. Meanwhile, the Storm Commandos and the Elite Platoon’s emergency assembly time was within three minutes; their reason was none other than they were special forces soldiers.
The piercing whistle was blown, and the team members of both teams appeared quickly before Xia Jinyuan and Li Jinnian.
While Ye Jian, who was sleeping in the corner, was jolted awake from her nightmare, after she was awake, she had a few dozen seconds of delay before realizing where she was at and what she was supposed to do.
She had a nightmare, she dreamed of her past life, she dreamed of the time right before she had died, she dreamed how a colleague that had a somewhat-good relationship with her passed her a cup of water, and when she finished it, she walked into the hotel manager’s office, she dreamed with full clarity how she was pushed down onto the desk by that savage. His dirty hands tore at her shirt and wriggled his hands into them.
What happened next?
The sharp whistle pierced the air once more, and it seemed much more urgent than before; Ye Jian’s body suddenly twitched as she blinked her eyes, a little lost, a little helpless, but much of it was sorrow.
“One more minute, the last minute.” Xia Jinyuan’s voice traveled from space. Meanwhile, his line of sight was directed as his two o’clock; that was where Ye Jian was at.
The consistently fast-acting girl still hadn’t appeared until now, which was quite unusual.
Ye Jian was suddenly wide awake after the second emergency whistle and was completely awake from the dreamscape, which she doesn’t want to remember.
She wasn’t the Ye Jian who had woken up to reality too late; she was not a soldier, she was currently training, and she still needed to go on an excursion on her country’s behalf!
After waking up to reality, she sprung onto her feet; gone was the sorrow, the lostness, the helplessness from her jet black pupils, only a chill that was colder than the moon remained.
At her quickest pace, she put on her equipment and picked up her rifle that never leaves her hand; after she put on her helmet, she was a soldier with a straight spine and an unbending spirit; she was that composed yet confident.
“Come on, Ye Jian!” She quietly encouraged herself in her heart, and she brought a serious expression as she ran towards the assembly spot.
The time on the stopwatch changed very quickly, and the dull blue screen reflected the face of the young major who was holding it; his reflection seemed to have a look between his brows that was more desolate than that cold moon over the skies.
Twenty-five seconds left, he looked towards his two o’clock once again, she still hadn’t appeared!
Li Jinnian obviously noticed that he spoke frankly: “She will be late, and my punishment this time will be heavy.”
“Your punishment has always been heavy.” Xia Jinyuan pursed his lips; he wasn’t worried that the Devil King’s punishment was going to be heavy. Instead, he was worried about Ye Jian, the one who had never been late, was somehow late today.
Is there something wrong physically?
There shouldn’t be, last night when he was giving her the tutorial textbooks, he didn’t notice anything unusual with her body, her mental condition was also not bad, besides having signs of tiredness between her brows from training the whole day, there was nothing else that was wrong with her.
Xia Jinyuan’s pupils turned cold since it wasn’t a physical problem. That means her vigilance has yet to reach the highest point; the moment she received some downtime after high-intensity training, even her vigilance had lowered.
“My punishments are heavy, but they’re all on the spot.” The frosty Li Jinnian glanced at the stopwatch in his hands, then scanned his surroundings, his cold pupils narrowed ever so slightly.
