Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around!

Chapter 1751: A Bloody Lesson

Their current location was not a barren desert. Some plants grew there, but the colors of the plants seemed a little dull.

One shouldn’t underestimate these plants, though. They were all covered with spikes that could pierce into the flesh.

In the past few days, the members of the two teams had been pierced by them many times. Luckily, their combat uniforms were thick and they wore thermal suits inside. Even if they were stabbed, they would only have a needle-sized wound.

Since Li Jinnian said he would punish her on the spot, then… Xia Jinyuan looked around, then looked at Li Jinnian. He pointed at the plants. “Here?”

“Uh-huh,” Li Jinnian replied. At the same time, he pressed his stopwatch and looked at the figure running toward him. His thin lips moved slightly as he said coldly, “You’re five seconds late.”

Xia Jinyuan pressed the stopwatch and looked at the figure running over. He pressed his thin lips even tighter together.

He seemed to know that there was nothing wrong with her body and that she was in a good state of mind… Ha, after two hours of rest, she was late to gather at one in the morning!

Three minutes and five seconds had passed. Before Ye Jian managed to run over, she felt Xia Jinyuan’s gaze sweeping toward her like a bullet. It was so cold that it made her heart turn cold.

“You’re late,” he said before stepping aside and giving his seat to Li Jinnian. Li Jinnian would be the one to decide the punishment for a soldier who was late. As for the punishment… she would be the one to suffer.

Demon King Li’s punishment would always be in line with his code name. It was filled with demonic nature and could not be any harsher.

Being late by five seconds was nothing to ordinary people. Who had never been late before? That was very normal.

But for a soldier, five seconds late on the battlefield was a significant delay. The speed of a bullet was three seconds. If you were five seconds late, the enemy’s bullets would have already swept over.

Ye Jian took a deep breath and walked to the front of the team to ‘report’.

No one looked at Ye Jian. No one wanted to ask her why she was late. They all knew that Azure Bird was a very punctual and strict female soldier. However, if she was late, she was late.

There was no reason or need for an explanation. She was just late.

“The rest of you are dismissed. Azure Bird, stay behind.” After the emergency assembly, Li Jinnian spoke and the team members quickly left to rest. Ye Jian stayed behind to wait for Demon King Li’s punishment.

A minute passed. In the end, Xia Jinyuan was the only one who didn’t move. He stood tall and straight.

“Roll down from here.” Demon King Li never liked to talk nonsense. He pointed at the sand slope with thorny vegetation and said indifferently, “Three rounds. After you’re done, go back to sleep.”

It sounded easy to roll three times on the thorny vegetation. But in reality, Ye Jian didn’t want to be punished like this.

Ye Jian hugged her head and rolled down the slope. Her body ran over the sharp and thorny plants. The sharp thorns pierced into her clothes and her flesh… It was like a thousand swords piercing through her heart.

Moreover, she couldn’t roll in the same position. She climbed up from the bottom of the sand slope and walked to the top of the sand slope. Then, she rolled down from another position. After the third round, there were countless small bloody holes on Ye Jian’s body.

Her punishment for being late was considered light.

“If there’s a next time, Azure Bird, your punishment will only get worse.” Li Jinnian’s gaze was cold and sharp as he looked at the female soldier whose face was bleeding from being stabbed. His tone was calm as usual. “I hope there won’t be a next time.”
