Outside the gun room, the figure that was about to push open the door suddenly stopped.

Shen Chengfeng stared intently at Xiao Jing through the gla.s.s window as his fingers gently caressed her upright back.

No one dared to compete with his ability to fake his might. Once he said that, it was likely that no one in the entire empire dared to touch him. After all, the Xiao clan controlled a quarter of the empire"s army.

No one wanted to ruin their future for no reason at all.

Jiang Temple softened his stance, buried his head, and began to clean up the guns in front of him.

Xiao Jing secretly poked her heart out. Although her brothers didn"t think highly of her, occasionally calling out their names was still very useful. At least ordinary soldiers would still be wary of their Xiao family"s ident.i.ty.

Night fell and the entire camp was shrouded in darkness.

Xiao Jing dragged her tired body back to her room. Today was only the physical fitness exam, so she hadn"t started training yet. She couldn"t imagine what kind of torture she would suffer if she did.

With her frail body, she had no choice but to start doubting life.

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!"

Footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the dorm.

Xiao Jing was so tired that she didn"t even want to open her eyes. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she subconsciously shouted out Lian Qing"s name, "Captain, I don"t want to move. Be good and play by yourself. Don"t disturb me."

After saying this, Xiao Jing felt that something wasn"t right. This wasn"t 525 b.a.l.l.s, so she mechanically sat up.

The lights in the room were dim. At first glance, she didn"t see who this person was. It was only after he approached that she recognized him.

His sword-shaped eyebrows were like stars, and he had a stern expression. He had a stern expression on his face, and he looked like the second brother Xiao Hong who had always spoken out one word at a time.

The face that could kill people with just a few words was so pale that he wanted to end everyone"s conversation with just a few words.

Xiao Jing rubbed her eyes. She turned on the lamp, and when the light was turned on, the other party"s face was also clearly seen.

Xiao Hong was famous in the military for being paralyzed. Even if he had a breath left, not only was he calm, he could still glare at him with those poisonous eyes.

"Second, second brother?"

Xiao Jing hurriedly stood up from the bed with her head held high, her posture meticulous.

Xiao Hong sat on a chair, his gaze drifting around the room. It was a simple room, with only a single bathroom. He didn"t even have a bath tool.

"I heard big brother say that you"re from the Special Forces, and you think you"re a skeleton?"

Xiao Hong"s aura was extremely cold. Just by sitting there, he was able to freeze people into pillars.

Xiao Jing felt a little guilty. She dared to say that she didn"t quite believe it, but the truth was like this. It was as if she had relied on this skeleton to enter the Special Forces. It was as if she were dreaming.

Xiao Hong looked at the small bottle beside the bed and asked, "Big brother gave it to you?"

Xiao Jing followed his gaze and nodded. "Yes."

Xiao Hong stood up and threw the bottle into the trash can. "It"s not good if you eat too much."

Xiao Jing was dumbstruck. She felt that the bottle could still be saved.

Xiao Hong took out another bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table. He sounded emotionless and calm, as though he was in a pool of dead water. He said, "Shen Chengfeng is famous in the army for being the King of h.e.l.l. It"s common for him to get injured.

Xiao Jing"s gaze fell onto the white jade bottle beside Xiao Hong. Under the light of the lamp, this bottle looked just like Xiao Hong, as if his entire body was emitting a cold air.

"Don"t force yourself. Our Xiao family doesn"t need anyone to be a hero."

"Got it."

"You can rest now."

Xiao Hong turned around and left.

Xiao Jing rubbed her head. After she was sure that she wasn"t dreaming, her frown became even more intense.

Since when did second brother talk so much?

Since when did he talk so much to himself?

In the past, when he saw himself in the Xiao family, he could not bear to give anything to him. It was as if he was walking in a refrigerator, where the cold wind blew and everything seemed to be frozen when he left.

"Come out."

Xiao Hong stood in the corridor, staring at the hidden figure in the dark corner.

At first, he thought he was seeing things wrongly, but when he got closer, he realized that he was indeed the vice president of the Empire"s Supreme Staff, Xiao Hong, with the rank of lieutenant general.

Xiao Jing"s words seemed to be true. She really was a member of the Xiao family.

"Speak."

Xiao Hong glanced at him expressionlessly. Judging from the way he acted, this person was not friendly.

Although Jiang Temple was standing upright, under the pressure of the other party"s imposing aura, he gradually lost the strength to hold on. In a panic, he said, "I … I was just pa.s.sing by."

"Pa.s.sed by?"

The two words were filled with doubt.

Jiang Temple nodded eagerly. "I"m really just —"

Before he could finish his words, his neck was grabbed by the other party. In the next instant, his body was heavily pushed against the corner of the wall, and he was unable to move an inch.

The strength of Xiao Hong"s fingertip intensified, as if with just a little more strength, this person would die instantly.

Jiang s.h.i.+ struggled, but his throat was being strangled. He could not explain himself, so he could only use his eyes to beg for mercy.

"You can"t move this person."

Xiao Hong released his hand and looked down at the man who was gasping for breath.

Jiang Temple"s vocal cords were damaged, and his voice was hoa.r.s.e. "I have no malice, I really have no malice."

"Our Xiao family has always been vindictive."

The sound of bones being pressed against each other came from the air.

Jiang s.h.i.+ hung his neck and nodded. "Yes, yes."

"Scram."

The corridor was silent once again.

The next day was similarly the fifth alarm being sounded. With the experience of the first day, everyone stood on the field the moment the alarm stopped without the slightest bit of panic from yesterday.

Xiao Jing could feel a pair of eyes looking at her from time to time. She instinctively looked to her side, only to see Jiang s.h.i.+ guiltily averting his gaze.

There are countless ferocious beasts and venomous snakes in the Qilian Mountain Range, and the ten kilometers of armed cross-country. As long as I get the result, I will wait for you at the end of the journey. The last place I will arrive will be announced to quit.

Shen Chengfeng walked past everyone and his gaze finally landed on the small and thin Xiao Jing.

Overstatement -

There was a cruel matter that Xiao Man had been asked to change her name. Wu wu wu wu, it should be changed to "The Military".
