Chapter 576: Where Did the Courage Go?
However, the devilish female drill sergeant wasn't always so irritable.
She also had a vulnerable side, she could cry.
I remember that time when she had a drinking competition with her recruits.
She managed to knock down seventeen recruits on her own.
In the end, it was Su Chen's turn, and only because he cheated was she finally taken down.
That was the first time these tough men saw the softer side of their drill sergeant.
"I'm beating you guys so that others won't beat you in the future..."
"Do you guys want to be my man..."
"Don't, don't... Alpha, Poison Scorpion, Rose..."
"..."
That night, the devilish female drill sergeant said a lot.
She revealed many secrets that no one else knew.
Turns out, the devilish female drill sergeant once had a team under her command.
Unfortunately, during a mission, they were entirely wiped out by an international drug trafficking gang.
Only she survived.
Thus, with the new recruits she took over, she would train them with the strictest requirements.
Gradually, she earned the nickname of the devilish female drill sergeant.
That night, eighteen vigorous young men swore silently in their hearts.
Never again would they want to see their drill sergeant in tears.
Of course, there were also those who wanted to take advantage of her drunkenness to conquer her.
Sadly, even when drunk, that woman was not someone to be conquered so easily.
Actually, there was another secret that night.
A secret between Su Chen and the devilish female drill sergeant.
That was, the devilish female drill sergeant had been 'picked up' by Su Chen.
Of course, Su Chen had simply carried her back to his single dormitory, letting the devilish female drill sergeant sleep in his bed for the night.
As for doing anything else, he didn't have the guts.
Because once the devilish female drill sergeant woke up, she would probably eradicate him immediately.
Sure enough, when the devilish female drill sergeant woke up, she looked at Su Chen with a murderous glare, "Kid, you've got some nerve, huh?"
Su Chen didn't do anything.
He was guilt-free.
So he wasn't afraid.
The devilish female drill sergeant jumped down from the bed.
Directly in front of Su Chen.
Scaring Su Chen into a shiver.
He had thought the devilish female drill sergeant, embarrassed and enraged, was going to extinguish him.
Instead, the devilish female drill sergeant whispered in his ear, with her lips close to his ear, "Pity, you're still not brave enough."
After that, she walked away nonchalantly.
Su Chen didn't quite understand what the devilish female drill sergeant meant.
Did she mean if he was braver...
A woman like Tu Mei could not be conquered by a simple Special Forces recruit like him.
The days that followed were uneventful.
The devilish female drill sergeant still loved to hit people.
Very much so.
Her reasons for doing so were also various and peculiar.
And so, the eighteen recruits were hit for a variety of peculiar reasons.
But strangely enough,
The teams that Tu Mei led always had the best results.
Until the final selection competition...
It was a real combat assessment.
Tu Mei personally led the team to snatch an item from a Mercenary group.
Unfortunately, Tu Mei fell into the enemy's trap and was captured.
Without Tu Mei's command, these inexperienced recruits were defeated without surprise.
Within just half a day, they were all captured.
Speaking of that combat assessment, even the examiner playing the Mercenary leader had a lingering fear.
Originally, the annihilation of all team members meant the failure of the assessment.
To stimulate the recruits' potential,
A torture session was arranged for Tu Mei during the assessment.
She was whipped in front of her eighteen recruits.
And it was real whipping.
However, since the recruits were already captured and had lost the ability to resist,
It was believed that no one would pass the assessment.
But unexpectedly, at the last moment, Su Chen somehow got a grenade, pulled the pin, and hugged the examiner who was whipping Tu Mei.
Thankfully, Tu Mei explained the situation in time.
The Mercenaries were just the examiners in disguise.
Otherwise, Su Chen might have gone to his death along with the examiner.
Because of what Su Chen did, he directly reversed the outcome.
Everyone passed the assessment.
"Number eighteen, who gave you the courage to die alongside your enemy?" Tu Mei, battered and bruised, looked at Su Chen somewhat unusually.
After all, Su Chen had always been unremarkable.
His performance in all aspects was very average.
Not surprisingly, he was accepted into the Special Forces with the lowest score.
But his final performance amazed everyone.
Even Tu Mei looked at him with new eyes.
"I'll reward you by letting you apply medicine for me." Tu Mei tossed the ointment to Su Chen.
Tu Mei's body was covered in many scars.
Knife wounds, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, chop wounds...
Those scars, rather than detracting from her beauty, only made Tu Mei's allure even more special.
"Number eighteen, fess up, did you have any thoughts about me that night?" Tu Mei teased, lying on the chair as if not feeling any pain at all.
"Er..."
Su Chen's throat bobbed.
This was another damn trick question.
Seeing that Su Chen didn't speak for a long time, Tu Mei turned her head and said with a bit of amusement: "What? Don't have the courage to say it? Where did your courage to pull the grenade with the examiner and die together go?"
Seeing that Su Chen was still silent, Tu Mein simply turned around, smiled wickedly and said: "Come on, speak up. There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm already like this, you still afraid I'll hit you?"
...
Now, five years have passed.
