Chapter 198: Run Ten Laps First

Morning of the 11th.

Lin Feng, wearing a thick down coat, walked out of Da Men.

His eye circles were a bit dark, and his expression looked somewhat weary.

"What's wrong with you?"

Bai Ying, leaning against the car, glanced at Lin Feng and asked with a frown.

"Season change, a bit of a cold…"

Before the sentence finished, Qin Li came out carrying a bowl of medicine, "Xiao Feng, don't leave yet, drink the medicine first."

"See?"

Lin Feng said, stepped forward a few steps, took the medicine bowl from Qin Li's hand, and gulped it down in one go.

"Xiao Feng, go home early; I'll make something tasty for you tonight."

After taking the empty bowl from Lin Feng's hand, she reminded him.

"Got it, Mom. It's cold, you should go back inside and rest!" Lin Feng said.

"Hey!"

Qin Li waved at Lin Feng and turned to go back.

Bai Ying opened the car door and got in.

Lin Feng also sat in the passenger seat.

Seeing Lin Feng's cold‑sensitive demeanor, she immediately closed the car window and turned on the air conditioning.

After the car had traveled a distance, Bai Ying glanced at Lin Feng and said lightly, "Moderate a bit! Don't think you're young; doing this often will shorten your life."

Lin Feng was stunned.

So Bai Ying saw through it!

A bit embarrassed.

So he let out a hum and closed his eyes.

Bai Ying fell silent as well and drove seriously.

After a dozen minutes, she looked at Lin Feng and found that the guy had already fallen asleep.

They set off at seven in the morning, but the car didn't stop until half past nine.

"Arrived!"

Bai Ying said lightly.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and stretched lazily.

Bai Ying glanced at Lin Feng again and was surprised to see his dark eye circles had vanished.

Did I guess wrong?

Seeing Bai Ying's astonished look, Lin Feng said proudly, "See, I told you it was a cold! After taking the cold medicine I slept… and felt fine after a little over two hours."

After getting out of the car, Lin Feng scanned the area.

It was clearly a temporary training Base.

The barracks were those iron‑sheet houses.

All around were mountains, their slopes covered with dense vegetation; it was winter, and everything was withered and yellow.

The central playground was also mud, leveled a bit and sprinkled with white ash as a marker.

"Do you know what this place is?"

Bai Ying asked.

Lin Feng looked up at the distant cliff and said lightly, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be an execution ground."

An execution ground, a place where criminals are shot.

"Have you been here before?"

Bai Ying looked at Lin Feng in surprise.

Lin Feng chuckled and gave no explanation.

The place that can instinctively make him think of the House Guarding Divine Beast, other than a haunted house, is the execution ground.

"Is it still in use now?"

That was Lin Feng's most concerned question.

Bai Ying said, "Of course it's still used! There are a few each month, sometimes a dozen or twenty."

"Can I change my mind?"

Lin Feng asked.

Bai Ying thought Lin Feng was joking, didn't address his sentence, pointed at the barracks ahead and said, "Let's go to the barracks over there! Behind the barracks there's a hidden area we can't see."

After saying that, she got back into the car.

Lin Feng got into the car, and Bai Ying started driving.

The car passed across the plain, went around the iron‑sheet barracks, and a cave appeared.

The cave was semi‑circular, its entrance reinforced with cement.

Bai Ying drove the car straight into the cave; after traveling dozens of meters, the passage became a slope.

Then the space ahead expanded, becoming about half the size of an underground parking lot in Jinhuxiaoqu.

Inside the cave hung several lamps, the light dim, and the air carried a musty and earthy smell.

After getting out of the car, Bai Ying explained, "This place used to be an ancient tomb; it was looted centuries ago and then became a refuge for displaced people.

In the 1960s and 70s, it became a small warehouse; after being abandoned it turned into an execution ground.

Over the years many youths have come to explore; last month it was piled with trash, which was simply cleared. Now, as a temporary training Base, it serves as a warehouse!"

Lin Feng saw a black T-shaped rack in the corner, frowned, and said, "I think we should still clean it up."

Bai Ying nodded: "I think so too."

Just then, the sound of a heavy vehicle came from outside.

The two walked out of the cave.

Just then, a green-painted big truck drove over.

Bai Ying glanced, then said to Lin Feng, "People and some equipment have arrived; let's go to the barracks to change clothes!"

The two soldiers guarding the barracks entrance saluted Bai Ying; after she returned the salute, she led Lin Feng to the door of room 102 and introduced, "Although it's a single room, it has a private bathroom and a computer, so you can go online..."

Lin Feng nodded: "I want to ask, I don't want to stay here; can I go back every day?"

Bai Ying nodded: "If you don't mind the trouble, it's fine, but I don't advise you to do that."

Thinking about last night, because I took the medicine, I couldn't sleep all night, like an ox...

Lin Feng suddenly felt it would be better to stay here for a few days.

Entering the room, he changed into camouflage uniform, put on military thick-soled leather boots, did not wear a hat, and tied the belt.

After finishing, he looked at the mirror: handsome! Really handsome!

Then he performed a standard military salute in front of the mirror.

Still not satisfied, he picked up his phone and took several photos in front of the mirror.

Bang bang!

Bai Ying had already changed and waited outside for Lin Feng for several minutes; finally she couldn't help but knock on the door.

This time for the special training, Bai Ying had made up her mind: not only would she train those spoiled young masters and misses, she would also take the opportunity to train Lin Feng.

The door opened, and Lin Feng walked out.

Be punctual! As an instructor, one must lead by example...

Seeing Lin Feng, Bai Ying pointed to her own wristwatch and reminded him.

Then I won't be this instructor!

Lin Feng said, and was about to go back inside to change back into his clothes.

Bai Ying grabbed Lin Feng and said, "As an instructor, of course there are privileges; I'm just making a suggestion."

"Since there are privileges, can I choose not to listen to your suggestion?" Lin Feng asked.

Bai Ying looked helpless.

Lin Feng patted Bai Ying's shoulder and said with a smile, "This special training isn't really about turning them into military elites; it's about making those guys fix their bad habits and experience a hard, simple life—I'm up for it."

Alright!

Bai Ying nodded.

The two walked onto the training field.

A total of several young men and women, all wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying backpacks, stood in neat rows.

The person at the far left of the first row was none other than Zhao Xiaoyang, who had a scar on his face.

Bai Ying stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze cold as she swept over the six people before her.

Exactly half were male and half female.

It seems the spoiled rich kids are not divided by gender.

If it weren't for Zhao Xiaoyang, the spoiled girls would slightly have the upper hand.

The boys are handsome, the girls are pretty, their skin also white... The genes of the wealthy are just different.

Before Bai Ying could speak, Lin Feng shouted, "Run ten laps around the field; if you don't finish, you get no lunch!"

Turn right, march!

After Lin Feng gave the order, the training instructor issued the command.

Oh dear~

A chorus of lament rose.

This field isn't big, but one lap is at least 400 meters; ten laps add up to 4 kilometers. For these usually pampered young masters and misses, this isn't running—it's a death sentence!
