In the afternoon, Yuan Jun, Zhang Haiyang, Wu Mantun, Ning Wei and Zhang Dazhu arrived together, all with smiles on their faces. They came here today to pay their respects, but they knew very little about Zhong Yuemin's child.

Zhong Yuemin sat on the chair, his eyes fell on the red envelope in his hand, hesitant. It's not that he didn't want to accept this gift, but at this special moment, he felt that he didn't seem to have fully adapted to this new identity.

Yuan Jun looked at him with a smile on his face. "Yuemin, this is not for you, this is for the baby." He said as he handed over the red envelope.

Zhong Yuemin raised his head and looked at Yuan Jun and Zhang Haiyang, whose faces were full of blessings and joy. A warm current surged through his heart and he said thank you softly.

"By the way, Yuemin, did you give birth to a daughter or a son?" Zhang Haiyang asked curiously.

Zhong Yuemin looked at them, his heart filled with emotion. He put the red envelope aside and said with a smile, "It's a girl."

Yuan Jun and Zhang Haiyang smiled at each other, then said loudly at the same time: "Congratulations!" Their voices echoed in the empty room, as if to spread the good news to every corner.

Zhong Yuemin looked at them with gratitude in his heart. He knew that in this ever-changing world, having such a group of friends who were willing to share joy and blessings with him at the important moments of his life was the most precious wealth in his life.

The next day, the sun shone on the square. Zhong Yuemin stood on a high place, looking down at the rookies below. His eyes swept through the crowd. Every rookie lowered his head nervously, as if waiting for judgment. "Today will be a day that you will never forget in your life." Zhong Yuemin's tone was calm, but it could not be ignored. "Does anyone want to quit? Alas, I have done something unnecessary."

The rookies in the queue looked at each other, their eyes full of determination. They knew that this was the path they had chosen, and no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, they had to stick to it.

Zhong Yuemin nodded, and he looked at these rookies with satisfaction. He knew that they had begun to grow. "Ten of you will form a group, and you will form your own teams. Rookie 250, Rookie 129, you two step out." Zhong Yuemin's tone was serious and firm.

The rookies began to whisper, their faces full of tension and anticipation. Zhong Yuemin looked at Yuan Jun and Li Ting who were leaving the line and said, "You two should set an example for them. Let them see that the next task is not that simple. If you want to quit, hurry up."

Yuan Jun cursed in his heart: Zhong Yuemin, this grandson deliberately used me as an example, he treated me like a chicken, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. Li Ting was also puzzled, wondering what the chief instructor wanted to do?

Zhong Yuemin took out two body-shattering pills and handed them to Yuan Jun and Li Ting. Yuan Jun took them and looked at them carefully, then asked curiously, "Chief Instructor, what are these?"

Zhong Yuemin replied expressionlessly, "This is poison. It will cause unbearable pain after taking it. Even if you pass out, the pain will wake you up. It may even be life-threatening, so I asked you to write a suicide note. It's not too late for you two to regret it now. What do you think? What's your choice?"

The sun shone on the ground in the square. Zhong Yuemin stood aside and observed Yuan Jun and Li Ting coldly. The two clenched their fists tightly, with fear and anxiety in their eyes. They held the body-shattering pills tightly in their hands, and their hearts were full of curiosity and doubt.

"Chief Instructor, what kind of poison is this?" Yuan Jun asked cautiously.

Zhong Yuemin continued to scare them. "What do you think this is? It's not the candy I gave you as a reward. Besides, why do you think I asked you to write a suicide note? It can't be for fun, right?"

Hearing this, Yuan Jun and Li Ting's faces turned pale instantly. They were thinking, could it be that they had guessed wrong before, and their lives were really in danger? Oh my God, who gave him the courage to do this?

"Why do you let us eat this?" Li Ting asked in a trembling voice.

Zhong Yuemin replied impatiently, "This is a test of your life and death, and also a test of your will. I just said that if you regret it now, it's not too late. This is hell, and it's different from what you imagined."

Yuan Jun and Li Ting looked at each other, full of hesitation. They knew that once they decided to take the body-shattering pill, the outcome would be unpredictable. However, if they did not accept this test, they would be eliminated. There was no choice at all, okay?

"What should we choose?" Yuan Jun asked in a low voice.

Li Ting was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke. "Don't you know him best? Don't you know how to choose? Besides, we have finally come to this point, do we have any choice?"

After some struggle, Yuan Jun and Li Ting finally decided to take a risk. They picked up the body-shattering pill, closed their eyes, and swallowed it hard. At first, the two of them didn't react. They looked at each other, as if to say: Is this bastard lying to me? I don't feel anything!

At this time, Zhong Yuemin turned his back to them and laughed, his body trembling a little. Zhang Haiyang came to his side and asked in a low voice, "Yuemin, you are still laughing here, aren't you afraid that Yuan Jun's grandson will come after you later?"

Zhong Yuemin suppressed his laughter and asked, "Why is that grandson looking for me to settle accounts with? He should be thanking me."

"I have discovered that you are so evil. You can think of any tricks."

"There will be more drama soon! You just tell them later. Let them watch carefully. The rest is up to you."

Zhang Haiyang looked at him with his eyes. This grandson is too troublesome. "It's already like this, what else do you want to do?"

"To force a confession! I'll learn from you later."

After about 20 minutes, Yuan Jun and Li Ting's bodies began to twitch violently, and the pain was beyond words. However, they did not give up, but gritted their teeth and endured this inhuman torture.

After about 10 minutes, the two men finally couldn't bear it anymore. They fell to the ground and rolled around, yelling and screaming. Zhong Yuemin came to Yuan Jun and asked, "Rookie 250, how does it feel? Just tell me your name, the unit number and who your superior is, and you will be free."

Yuan Jun also became stubborn. "I'm your uncle, come on, whatever you want. I have no problem with you."

Zhong Yuemin came to Li Ting again, squatted down and asked in a nonchalant and flowery tone, "This little beauty, you are very pretty. How is it? Do you regret it? If you regret it, tell me. You are so pretty, why do you come here to suffer like this?"

Li Ting gnashed her teeth and said, "You bastard, I will never let you go. If I die, I will never let you go even if I become a ghost. If I live, I will never let you go in the future."

Zhong Yuemin stood up and complained about the two people. "If loud voices and eyes could kill people, I would have been killed countless times by you two. Since you two are so courageous, then enjoy it."

Zhong Yuemin shouted at the remaining rookies, "Rookies, you all saw it! After taking this pill, you will live a life worse than death. Is there anyone who wants to quit now? To be honest, this is not something that humans can enjoy."

"No one quits, right? The two teams in front step out. Assistant instructor, give them the medicine and watch them take it."

Finally, some people backed out. Two of them chose to withdraw. "Is there anyone else who wants to leave? It's not too late."

In the scorching summer sun, everyone in the team was like straw burned by a branding iron, with their heads drooping and exhausted. The long queue seemed endless, and finally someone took a difficult step, as if trapped in an invisible nightmare.

A faint voice broke the silence, "I...I want to quit." The owner of the voice was a young man with a young face, about 20 years old. His shoulders trembled, as if he was carrying an unspeakable burden. He looked around tentatively, but only received a cold look.

If the first person quits, there will be a second person who will choose to quit. His back was already hunched like a bent bow, and he didn't even dare to look up at the crowd. But his eyes were firm and resolute. His withdrawal was like a stone thrown into a pond, causing ripples.

As they left, the team began to loosen up. Like a domino effect, people began to leave the team one after another, like a flood that could not be stopped.

Zhong Yuemin and the instructors stood on a high place, watching this scene, with no expression on his face. Zhong Yuemin was still repeating the sentence, "If anyone wants to leave, it's not too late." His voice was very flat, like the calm before the storm, making people feel inexplicably oppressed.

Under his gaze, more people took steps and left the team. Their backs were like a deep mark engraved in the hearts of every witness, reminding them forever that someone would eventually choose to retreat.

Those who left were like opening the lid of Pandora's box, releasing endless fear and doubt. The remaining team members watched their backs gradually go away, with mixed feelings in their hearts, and no one could express it.

The remaining members of the team looked at each other with determination and resolve in their eyes. They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they had to persevere.

At this moment, their eyes were full of determination and conviction. They knew that this was their choice, they must be responsible for their choice, and they could not back down.

"Is there anyone else who wants to quit?"

After waiting for a while, no one left. Zhong Yuemin said to Zhang Haiyang beside him, "Deputy Instructor, let the rest of the people take the medicine and don't waste any more time."

"Yes." Zhang Haiyang stood beside Zhong Yuemin, looking at the remaining members of the team, his heart full of respect and pride. He understood that these members had passed Zhong Yuemin's test, and they had become more determined and confident.

Zhang Haiyang thought of those fighters who left. They were not real losers. They just encountered some difficulties and challenges in the process and could not overcome their psychological barriers. Everyone has their own weaknesses and fears. Some people can face and overcome them, while others cannot.

Zhang Haiyang began to appreciate Zhong Yuemin's approach. He understood that the remaining team members were the real fighters. They had firm beliefs and determination, and they had an invincible spirit. They would not back down easily in the face of difficulties, and nothing could defeat them.

Zhang Haiyang looked at each member of the team. Their eyes were full of confidence and determination, and their body language revealed great strength and determination. He knew that these players were real fighters and they were invincible.

The remaining team members looked at each other, their eyes full of determination. They took the pills handed over and swallowed them without hesitation.

Zhong Yuemin stood on a high place, watching this scene, with an indescribable emotion in his heart. He understood that these players had made their choice, they chose to persist, and chose to face it.

At this moment, Zhong Yuemin's heart was filled with respect and pride. He knew that these team members were real fighters who had the courage to face difficulties and challenges, and they would not back down easily.

Zhong Yuemin's orders were still echoing in the team, his voice firm and powerful. At this moment, he was no longer a cold instructor, but a real leader, a commander who could lead the team to victory.

Zhong Yuemin stood aside, observing all this expressionlessly. He knew that their willpower had surpassed that of ordinary people. Now, all he had to do was wait for the results.
