Mayer’s arm was draped over Wen Huai’s shoulder, a contented smile on his face.

“Actually, after seeing Miss Wen’s skills, I’m not surprised by anything you do, Wen Huai. I was perhaps too arrogant, thinking you had no chance, but here you are, waiting for me in such a dazzling place.”

“Alright, go freshen up. Master Xi and Miss Wen are waiting for you at the main camp. The sudden change in the game plan was Miss Wen’s last-minute decision.”

“My sister and Mu… and my brother-in-law came? That’s really something. This past month, I thought they had forgotten about me!”

Saying this, Wen Huai, exhausted, tossed his backpack to someone behind him and lazily slung his arm over Mayer’s shoulder.

“I’m too tired to walk anymore. Can a dead man request to be carried out?”

At the mention of “dead man,” Mayer and a few others behind couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Wen Huai, we are all ‘dead men’ you’ve taken down, or should we just stay here waiting to be picked up?”

“Let’s not. My sister is waiting for me. Mayer, you’re hardly a ‘dead man.’ Help me up; I’m really too tired!”

After thirty days of training, at the very end, Wen Huai finally relaxed, and fatigue rushed over him.

He was only able to walk back by relying on his remaining willpower, his desire to see his sister driving him.

On the way back, one of the men, curious about the small bombs Wen Huai had made, let Wen Huai lean on his shoulder, slightly supporting him.

“Wen Huai, how do you know how to make bombs? Those ordinary-looking things become so powerful in your hands? Aren’t you just a high school student?”

“I am a high school student but grew up in a physics lab. These little gadgets are child’s play for me. Once I rest up, I’ll hand them over to you; switch out some real materials, and you could easily injure one or two people.”

Wen Huai leaned proudly against the man he was talking to, his demeanor carefree.

Just then, a beam of light shone from a distance, and Mu Chengxi drove a combat vehicle towards them, stopping in front of Wen Huai.

“Get in, it’s getting late. Your sister is concerned. Let me take you back…”

Earlier, Mu Chengxi had urged Wen Xin to go back and rest, but Wen Xin insisted on checking Wen Huai’s health before returning.

Thus, finding them walking too slowly, Mu Chengxi drove directly to pick up Wen Huai.

Seeing Mu Chengxi come to drive him back, Wen Huai excitedly withdrew his arm from the unknown man and jumped into the vehicle, settling into the passenger seat.

“Brother-in-law can drive now.”

“Boss, wait for us, we…” Seeing there was still room in the vehicle, Mayer wanted to get in for a ride back, as walking back would be exhausting.

Mu Chengxi lifted his drooping eyes to glance at Mayer and the seven men behind him, his gaze gradually darkening as he spoke coldly.

“If you don’t run back to the main camp within twenty minutes, you’ll run twenty kilometers. And from now on, add ten kilometers to your daily training.”

Mayer initially wanted to protest, but he was instantly silenced upon meeting Mu Chengxi’s gaze. He was the first to start running…

The seven behind him didn’t dare say much either and quickly began to run as well, realizing that twenty minutes might not be enough time for them.

Mu Chengxi watched as they sprinted away, then spoke to Wen Huai beside him in a calm voice, “Help me start the stopwatch, twenty minutes, start timing now.”

Wen Huai adjusted his position in the passenger seat and smiled at Mu Chengxi, “You’re still as harsh as ever!”

Mu Chengxi turned his head to look at Wen Huai, who was no longer pretending to be obedient, and smiled lightly, “It depends on the person. They didn’t perform well, so they deserve the punishment.”

Mu Chengxi started the vehicle, reversed in the jungle, turned around, and drove towards the main camp, where Wen Xin awaited them.

When Wen Huai arrived at the main camp, he saw Wen Xin already sitting there waiting for him. His fatigue seemed to vanish instantly.

He didn’t know if he could be considered strong now, but he was sure he could fight off an adversary if Wen Xin was in danger.

“Sister, it’s so late. You should have rested first!”

“No hurry, come sit here, let me take your pulse and check your health…”

Wen Xin tapped on the table with her finger, signaling Wen Huai to sit across from her for a check-up.

After the examination, Wen Huai’s health seemed good. Wen Xin took a small pill from beside her and held it to Wen Huai’s mouth, “Open your mouth, take this pill, go shower, eat something, and then rest well.”

Tasting the bitter medicine in his mouth, Wen Huai felt a sweet sentiment in his heart. He hadn’t expected to see Wen Xin right after his training ended.

“Okay, sister, are we going back together?”

“Yes, let’s go back together. There’s just over half a month until we need to report back to the university, and your training can end now.” Wen Xin stood up and patted Wen Huai on the shoulder.

“Report, eighteen minutes and twenty-one seconds.”

“Report, eighteen minutes and twenty-four seconds.”

“Report, eighteen minutes and twenty-six seconds.”

“Report, eighteen minutes and thirty-seven seconds.”

“Report, eighteen minutes and forty-one seconds.”

“Report, eighteen minutes and fifty-one seconds.”

“Report, nineteen minutes and seven seconds.”

“Report, nineteen minutes and twenty-five seconds.”

Wen Xin, watching the eight men rush in, smiled faintly. She had heard Mu Chengxi’s conversation with the men on the monitor and thought he was quite ruthless.

Such a long distance in twenty minutes. They probably felt like their lungs would burst.

But it also confirmed that these men were physically fit, as they managed to run such a distance in a short time, which was quite impressive.

“Keep moving. Don’t stop yet to avoid straining your bodies!” Wen Xin reminded everyone in a gentle voice.

“Thank you, Miss Wen, for your concern.” The eight men, now breathing more steadily, shouted in unison.

“Get moving!”

Mu Chengxi, seeing they still had the energy to please Wen Xin, scoffed impatiently. He then summoned someone to take Wen Huai for a shower and a meal while he wrapped an arm around Wen Xin and walked towards the accommodations prepared for them.

The next morning, while Wen Xin was freshening up, she saw a goofy figure running towards her. Without even thinking, she could guess who it was.

He ran like a melon, with his tongue sticking out.
