Chapter 1359 Caught by the Director
On the campus of the National Defense University, the early morning sunshine shone on the spacious road, but it failed to dispel the confusion in the hearts of He Chenguang and his group. They had been walking around the campus for three days, and everyone's face was filled with confusion and worry.
"Boss, we only have one year to complete the four-year curriculum of others. Is this... feasible?"
Chen Jun's expression was calm, his eyes sweeping across the crowd with determination. He spoke calmly and forcefully, "So, from now on, you must treat studying as a grueling training session. Aside from the basic necessities of life, such as eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping, you must devote all your time to studying without reservation. Even drills must be put aside for now."
"Starting tomorrow, we'll start by conquering the computers. We're known as a hacker base, and it would be a laughing stock if some people didn't even know what a hacker was."
Deng Zhenhua patted his chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, Boss. When it comes to studying, our paratroopers are as outstanding as eagles in school."
Shi Dafan couldn't help but tease him with a sly smile on his face: "Forget it, you, an eagle, only look at young female students with your eagle eyes. These days, if the boss hadn't been around, you would have rushed over to ask for their contact information, right? So, how many did you take a fancy to? Judging from your expression, you have fallen in love with other girls several times in one day..." Shi Dafan's words instantly broke the somewhat dull atmosphere, causing people around him to laugh.
"Nonsense, am I that kind of person? I just wanted to see if my schoolmate needs any help. Forget it, I can't explain it to you clearly. Your realm is not high enough." Deng Zhenhua blushed and explained hurriedly, his eyes revealing a hint of panic, as if his secrets had been touched upon.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Erniu came over and said seriously but with a hint of sarcasm, "No, I did see you staring at the female students. Several of them, and you looked at them repeatedly, and you didn't take it seriously."
"Get out, what do you know..." Deng Zhenhua was so angry that he waved his fists and almost fought with Shi Dafan and Li Erniu.
"Stop talking nonsense, take the books and go to the computer room immediately. Hurry up, I'm telling you first, you are not allowed to develop any feelings with any female students within one year. If you can't control yourself, cut off your genitals and become a monk as soon as possible." Chen Jun scolded sternly, his eyes revealing the majesty that could not be disobeyed.
As soon as they walked out of the dormitory building, they ran into the white helmets and Director Wang. One of the white helmets pointed at Chen Jun and the others and said eagerly and excitedly, "It's him, it's him, it's them..."
Director Wang, under the direction of Vice Principal Zhang Tao, had come to enforce discipline and deal with Chen Jun and his group of troublemakers. He quickly stepped forward, his gaze piercing, sternly staring at everyone, as if he could see through them.
"It's time for morning drills. Where are you going? I haven't seen you in school for the past three days. What's going on? Don't you want to stay in school?" Director Wang yelled angrily.
During his outburst, Chen Jun and the others reacted quickly, like well-trained soldiers, immediately forming a neat line. With lightning speed, they were in formation in an instant, their postures erect and uniform. Each person's gaze was firm and focused, as if demonstrating their superior military prowess to Director Wang.
"Hello, school leaders!" Everyone shouted in unison, their voices loud and powerful, echoing like a bell in the campus, showing their spirit as soldiers.
The sudden, orderly formation and resounding shouts stunned Director Wang, who was already furious. He had expected these undisciplined cadets to be disorganized, but the speed and demeanor of their movements astonished him. Judging from their performance, their military prowess was impeccable; each one was clearly a seasoned, elite soldier. Even veterans, let alone new cadets, would have struggled to achieve such a high level of training.
However, Chen Jun and his team's outstanding performance did not diminish Director Wang's anger in the slightest. He had come with a clear mission to rectify discipline, so how could he let them off so easily?
"Why are you performing for me now? What were you doing the past three days? You have no respect for school discipline and act recklessly. Do you want to drop out?" Director Wang scolded angrily, his voice cold and stern. Every word seemed to be frosty, which made people shudder.
Chen Jun smiled and said calmly: "Leader, our situation is different from other students. We only have one year, so we really don't have much time for morning exercises. We just want to devote all our time to professional studies and strive to complete the three or four years of courses for others within one year and graduate early." Chen Jun's tone was sincere and firm, trying to explain to Director Wang their special situation and urgent needs.
"Nonsense! This is a school, not a place where you can do whatever you want." Director Wang roared angrily, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty. "I'm telling you, this is the National Defense University. Discipline is engraved on the door. Those who graduate here are qualified soldiers. And with what you've done, I guarantee that as long as I'm here, you won't graduate early. You're kidding me! You don't even follow the rules, and you still want to graduate early..."
"Now, go to morning exercises immediately. If you do it again, I will expel you from school immediately and never do it again. What? Don't you understand?" After Director Wang shouted loudly, he thought he would scare the group of people, but unexpectedly, his "murderous aura" spread in all directions, but it seemed to have no effect on these people.
They still stood there quietly, looking at him, their eyes even colder than his, the director's, as if there was an invisible confidence supporting them. This disregard made Director Wang's anger even greater. He didn't understand where these people got the courage and confidence from.
Wang Yanbing lowered his voice and said to Chen Jun anxiously, "Boss, he is disrupting our plan. How are we going to get through this?" Wang Yanbing's eyes revealed worry and anxiety. He knew very well that if this conflict was not handled properly, it would have a serious impact on their study plans.
Chen Jun was silent for a moment, thinking to himself. The military had only given them one year, and time was too tight to waste. For these battle-hardened special forces soldiers, the routine morning exercises at school were like scratching an itch with a shoe; they had little effect and only wasted precious study time.
However, he truly didn't want to reveal his identity. Those who had seen his ID at the entrance hadn't revealed his secret, presumably because they had been dragged into a secret agreement. But how should he handle this situation? Revealing his identity might solve the immediate problem, but it could also create unnecessary complications. If he didn't reveal his identity, how could he convince Director Wang to allow them to continue their studies as planned? Chen Jun was caught in a dilemma.
Just as Chen Jun was hesitating whether to take out his ID to prove his identity again, Director Wang shouted again.
"Boss, do you think this school is a gang? What's that name? Which unit are you from? Tell me..." Director Wang shouted, his eyes revealing strong doubts about the group's behavior and identities. He was extremely dissatisfied with the title "boss," which he considered to be inconsistent with school regulations, and he was even more suspicious of the group's origins and intentions.
Chen Jun had no choice but to tell the truth: "Actually, we are from the special forces, and I am their captain. 'Boss' is just a code name, and it doesn't mean gangster." Chen Jun spoke calmly, trying to dispel Director Wang's misunderstanding, but he was also worried whether this could change the situation.
"Even if you're from the Special Forces, you can't get special treatment at school. This is a place with strict discipline. Morning drills are written into the rules and regulations. If you can't pass this, you won't be able to take the graduation exams. No matter who you are, you must abide by this rule." Director Wang said sternly, leaving no room for negotiation. He emphasized that the school's rules and regulations are fair and strict, and no one can be exempted, not even those in the Special Forces.
After hearing this, Chen Jun's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "You mean, as long as I pass the test, I can take the exam?" Chen Jun keenly caught the key information in Director Wang's words, and an idea quickly flashed through his mind.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Jun continued, "Leader, considering our time problem, how about this? We test all the drill items in advance. I guarantee that all of them will meet excellent standards. Otherwise, you can criticize us for failing." Chen Jun's eyes were full of confidence and determination. He believed that with the strength of his team members, they were capable of completing this challenge.
"All excellent?" Director Wang was astonished. He looked Chen Jun up and down, then glanced at the group behind him. With the exception of a middle-aged man with an auntie's smile, the others were all young. Perhaps they were special forces soldiers, but to pass all the drills and achieve excellent marks in all of them at once was, Director Wang thought, practically impossible. He was filled with suspicion, thinking these young people were overestimating their abilities and boasting.
"How about you ask the school leaders? We'll test all the subjects today," Chen Jun said firmly, his eyes full of confidence and determination. He hoped that this approach would both resolve the current disciplinary issues and buy more study time for everyone.
Hearing this, Director Wang was straightforward and said directly: "Since you insist on doing this, I can give you a try. First of all, I have to make it clear that everyone and all projects must be excellent. Otherwise, what you have done in these three days will be recorded, announced to the whole school, and credits will be deducted." Director Wang thought to himself that even if they were given a chance, it would be impossible for all of them to achieve excellence. This was a good opportunity to teach this group of ignorant young people a lesson.
"We'll complete the mission," Chen Jun and his team shouted in unison, their voices brimming with fighting spirit. Their eyes revealed a firm belief, as if they had already seen the dawn of success.
Director Wang turned and walked towards the playground, and behind him, he could hear the sound of high-fives and the team members' whispered discussions.
"I'll give you one minute. Come out fully armed and head to the playground. After the test, go to the computer lab and learn computer skills." Chen Jun gave the order quickly, his voice concise and powerful, leaving no room for doubt. In his mind, every minute was precious and not a single moment could be wasted.
"One minute?" Director Wang couldn't help but glance at the nearby dormitory building, his heart filled with confusion. He couldn't imagine how these people could have arrived at the playground in just one minute, fully armed.
But the next moment, these people were like a gust of wind, sweeping past him and disappearing without a trace in an instant. The speed was so fast that Director Wang's eyes widened, and he could hardly believe his eyes.
In less than a minute... Everyone was standing before him, fully armed, each one in high spirits and neatly equipped. The speed of their movements and the tacit coordination of their actions once again shocked Director Wang.
"This is bizarre! I've seen special forces before, but never with such physical prowess. Apart from anything else, these guys are tough!" Director Wang couldn't help but sigh. He began to have a new appreciation for these special forces. While he still doubted their ability to complete all the drills and achieve excellence, he had to admit that they did have their strengths.
Once they reached the playground, Director Wang bluntly gave the order, "Sixty kilometers of armed cross-country running..." This was actually a deliberate embarrassment for them; a normal test would never exceed fifty kilometers. Director Wang wanted to increase the difficulty, discourage the young men, and at the same time, test their true capabilities.
The next moment, Chen Jun took the lead, leading his men towards the playground. Their speed was like a gust of wind, and they disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant. Their figures moved swiftly across the playground, like a group of cheetahs chasing their prey, demonstrating powerful explosive power and mobility.
The White Helmets were about to leave, but when they saw him running like a desperate man from the very beginning, they immediately became interested.
"No way, a 60km armed cross-country run, running like crazy right from the start? At that pace, they'd be lying down like Ge You after only three kilometers," the man in the white helmet exclaimed in astonishment, his face filled with disbelief. In his opinion, such a pace was impossible to sustain in a 60km armed cross-country run; they would quickly become exhausted.
Director Wang snorted coldly: "Young people nowadays don't know their place and are all talk and talk. People with real ability won't be so arrogant. Don't leave yet, keep an eye on them to see if they are cutting corners." Director Wang was still full of doubts about the behavior of these young people. He felt that they were just talking big and had no real ability, so he arranged for the White Helmets to supervise them to prevent them from cheating.
So, they watched closely from the sidelines. They saw that Chen Jun, the team leader, never slowed down. Like a leader, he led everyone on a frantic run across the playground at an astonishing pace. Round and round, their pace didn't slow at all. In fact, after ten laps, the team began to pick up speed.
"No, they're all Eastern Divine Deer. How can they keep running like this and still increase their speed?" The man in the white helmet said in amazement, his eyes wide open, as if he had witnessed something incredible. He had originally thought these people would quickly run out of energy, but he hadn't expected them to not only maintain their speed but actually increase it. This was completely beyond his imagination.
"Twenty kilometers in, and they're still accelerating! Wow, are they trying to break the school record?" another white-helmeted person exclaimed in surprise. As time went on, the crowd felt more and more that this group's performance was beyond the ordinary, and they began to speculate whether they were aiming to break the school record.
The white helmets supervising them were all shocked. In their opinion, if they continued at this pace until the end, they would not only break the school record, but also set an unprecedented record.
"That's just insane! Just a bunch of random young people are actually at this level?" the White Helmets exclaimed in amazement. They were utterly shocked by the scene before them. They had assumed they were just ordinary students, but they hadn't expected them to display such astonishing strength.
Among them was the middle-aged man Lao Fan who smelled like pig manure, and he was able to keep up closely.
Lao Fan has been raising pigs at the hacker base for many years, but he is not just raising pigs. He has always had great ambitions. Whenever he has free time, he trains hard, waiting for the day when he will have the opportunity to become a general.
Finally, he got his chance to prove himself. During this 60-kilometer cross-country race with a load, he poured all his passion into it, keeping pace with the pack, not falling behind a step. Though he still reeked of pig manure, his eyes revealed a resolute and determined spirit. He ran faster than a pig, but no one knew the countless days and nights of hard work and perseverance that lay behind his efforts.
