That evening, the entire company of recruits was subjected to intense torment.
This was because they were called for more than ten emergency assemblies throughout the night.
Sleep was a rare luxury.
Many didn't even dare to undress or open their backpacks.
However, the class leaders were relentless, forcing everyone to strip, unpack, and lie on their beds.
After a while, the soul-seizing whistle sounded again.
Pain.
They allowed themselves half an hour of respite, paying for it with a night of suffering.
Wang Ye endured the most.
He hadn't given in, yet ended up having to consume a large bowl of rice and endure an entire night alongside the rest.
The following day, just before the exercise session began, Wu Jianfeng held an award ceremony for Wang Ye.
But there was no joy in this ceremony.
The entire company of recruits appeared dejected, and even Wang Ye himself was no exception.
