The thick smell of blood permeated the entire nasal cavity—spreading all the way into the lungs. It was so disgusting that some men immediately puked.
Their vomiting made it even more difficult for the rest to stomach the meal.
“General, permission to speak!” A new soldier suddenly stood up.
Ji Fengyan gazed at him. “Speak.”
“This... I am afraid we cannot eat this now. If this is the punishment for our earlier indiscretions, we have no choice but to endure it. However, isn’t the previous whipping punishment enough?” Blood stained the corners of his mouth—he had evidently had a taste of that raw meat.
His words reflected the thoughts of many of the new soldiers. They all felt that Ji Fengyan was making things difficult for them on purpose.
However...
Ji Fengyan grinned at that new soldier. “Sit.”
Startled, the rookie remained stock-still. Nevertheless, just one frosty look from Ji Fengyan caused him to sit down immediately.
Ji Fengyan shifted her gaze. At that moment, Linghe and the rest entered the canteen each bearing a large plate filled with the same raw, bloody meat.
Linghe placed one plate before Ji Fengyan. The new soldiers stared in a daze, not knowing what would happen next.
Ji Fengyan was already biting into a piece of meat.
The clean edges of Ji Fengyan’s mouth was stained with blood as she chewed on that raw meat. She looked completely natural gnawing on that piece of flesh—as though she was eating your usual food.
Swallowing the raw meat, Ji Fengyan looked up at the stupefied soldiers.
“A bunch of useless idiots.” Ji Fengyan’s bloody lips curved up in a sneer. Following that, she continued eating her own food without bothering about the rest of them.
But that phrase “useless idiots” burned in the minds of every new soldier.
How could a bunch of big guys fear something that a young girl was willing to eat?
Bearing a Do-or-Die mentality, the crowd started gnawing on their raw meat.
That scene...
Was one big bloody mess. The mouths, faces and hands of everyone were stained red—they looked just like a bunch of wild beasts having a binge.
Lu Shaoqing was dumbstruck as chewing noises surrounded him.
Being the intelligent guy that he was, he understood Ji Fengyan’s actions and even the reason behind her provoking “useless idiots” remark. Lu Shaoqing looked down at the raw meat before him. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his revulsion and began eating.
A simple breakfast had everyone eating like savages. Walking out from the canteen, their blood-stained faces shocked the patrolling veteran soldiers.
Those who were not in the know thought a massive brawl must have broke out in the canteen.
After “breakfast”, the new soldiers immediately started their sprints. Lunch was another feast of raw meat, but the number of people vomiting had decreased drastically.
Spurred on by that “useless idiot” remark, the soldiers bore through the morning and afternoon. However, when night fell, the group was stunned again.
A long day of high intensity training left everyone starving even after those two earlier meals. But tonight... apart from the water in the well, there was nothing left to fill their tummies...
