Mercenary’s War
Chapter 828 - 828 819 Urgent Telegram

828: Chapter 819: Urgent Telegram 828: Chapter 819: Urgent Telegram Gao Yang had softened his heart, but he had no choice but to wait until the punishment he had ordered was fully executed.

Starting from five in the afternoon, the evacuation continued until twelve o’clock at night and had not yet ended.

Given the extreme difficulty of moving even a step, the grueling twelve kilometers were a test of sheer willpower.

Even under normal circumstances, twelve kilometers was a considerable distance, let alone after physical exhaustion had reached its limits.

Therefore, Gao Yang’s lips twitched slightly, meaning many people would be busy because of his punishment.

All the instructors certainly couldn’t withdraw; they had to follow behind the person they were responsible for.

They didn’t speak or move, but they had to watch every action of the person they were in charge of.

Medical personnel could even less afford to withdraw; being professionals, they followed closely beside each person.

However the trainees moved, the medics followed, ensuring that if someone fell, they could start checking and administering first aid within seconds.

Gao Yang of course couldn’t move either; he stood there, hands behind his back, unable to move until every member of Satan had returned and completed the “evacuation”.

Since Gao Yang didn’t move, Destin didn’t either.

Later, the two of them stood side by side, waiting for the members of Satan to complete the punishment assigned to them.

To Gao Yang’s surprise, other than the oldest, Tommy, who had fainted, no one else had passed out.

It was two in the morning by the time he could see the teams struggling to stand, wobbling as they walked, one dragging another, or two supporting one within his field of vision.

Jinfang no longer needed anyone to hold him; on the contrary, he had picked up Glolov’s machine gun and was staggering along at the front, while Eileen and Rafael, each holding one of Glolov’s arms, trembled along behind him.

Frey hadn’t discarded his rocket launcher; he had turned his rifle into a cane.

Fortunately, the youngest among them didn’t need help and was still able to persist.

Bruce, with every step, had to push Rafael in front of him.

Rafael had clearly reached his limit; each step required stopping and resting for several seconds before he could take another.

Lucica, who usually seemed the most delicate, looked disheveled but was still able to stagger and keep up with Bruce.

As for Cui Bo, his gun was the heaviest, but he was the only one who still cradled his weapon in his arms as he marched.

In the last hundred meters, seeing hope, people quickened their steps.

When Jinfang was the first to arrive in front of Gao Yang and shakily came to a standstill, he struggled to raise his hand and saluted in a far from standard military fashion, then said tremblingly, “Reporting, Toad has completed the command.”

“Report to the officer!

Officer…, Tyrannosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Tyrannosaurus has completed, completed the command.”

Eileen was so stuttered she took a long time to finish her report and then saluted.

As the remaining people gradually came up to Gao Yang, each completed the punishment he had designated for Cui Bo and Andy He, Gao Yang gave a mercenary salute and said gravely, “Dismissed!”

At Gao Yang’s command, accompanied by a synchronized sound, all nine people fell straight back onto the ground simultaneously, all fainting.

Experienced in such matters, as soon as Gao Yang issued the dismissal order, all the doctors collectively moved forward.

When the members of Satan fell back, they were perfectly positioned at their feet, ready to start examinations and immediate first aid.

“Tsk tsk, truly a group of tough guys!”

Destin clicked his tongue admiringly, but Gao Yang had already begun looking anxiously over the fallen figures, wanting to ask the doctors but hesitant to speak for fear of disturbing them.

There had always been doctors in Destin’s training camp, several of them, but for extreme training, one doctor had to be assigned per person, so it was unavoidable to temporarily hire professional doctors from other training camps.

Not only did each person have an instructor, but even doctors had to be individually assigned—extreme training was that luxurious.

The doctor examining Glolov quickly shouted, “Carry him away, to the medical room!”

The results came quickly.

Among the remaining nine people, not one had sustained physical injuries.

Everyone’s base fitness was good, and though they had endured something beyond normal limits, it hadn’t led to serious consequences.

Still, this was only possible because everyone was in good physical condition; with ordinary people, the outcome could have been uncertain.

After everyone was sent to the medical room, Gao Yang took a deep breath and said with residual fear, “Luckily, nothing went wrong, thankfully!”

Destin, clearly dissatisfied, said, “Now that it’s over, I can finally complain about you, damn it.

Your one punishment order forced me to postpone the next extreme training for at least three days.

Do you think the three-kilometer evacuation distance was just a casual measure?

It was based on a meticulous analysis, established on the limit they could bear.

And you, with one punishment order, extended it to twelve kilometers, you bastard.

I would have to think twice about adding even a kilometer as a punishment!”

Gao Yang grinned and said, “I got carried away and it just slipped out…”

Destin expressed his dissatisfaction, “Next time something like this happens, let me know in advance, and I will give you a reasonable measure to punish them.

Please, we are the professionals when it comes to training, not you.”

As Gao Yang nodded, Destin suddenly chuckled and said, “Oh, I forgot, you need to participate in the training as well.

That means you won’t have the authority to punish them next time.

On the contrary, you’ll be among those being punished.”

Accepting someone else’s training means following their rules.

After scratching his head, Gao Yang wryly said, “I also forgot about that.

Alright, I’ll go to the medical center first to see how they are doing.

The doctors there are probably past their busiest time now.”

Destin glanced at his watch and said, “I’ll go with you.

Since you’re going to the medical center, you might as well get a physical exam done now, so you can start training directly tomorrow.”

Gao Yang and Destin talked while they walked to the medical center.

Glolov and everyone else were lying motionless on hospital beds, but they were not unconscious.

Instead, they each emitted the breathing sounds only heard during deep sleep.

Despite being hooked up to IVs to hydrate their bodies and undergoing other tests simultaneously, none of them could be woken up.

It was evident that being exhausted to the extreme meant one could hardly move even a finger.

Those who complained about being dead tired but could still manage to eat, bathe, and then climb into bed to sleep were far from actually being dead tired.

When utterly exhausted, the brain completely shuts down.

One wouldn’t even wake up from needle injections, let alone from being stabbed.

During the battle at Ta Shan, an extremely exhausted soldier fell asleep in the trench.

His leg was shattered by aircraft strafing, yet he continued to sleep soundly, unawakable even by those around him shouting.

Now, for Glolov and the others, not even the sky falling could wake them up.

After checking to make sure everything was fine, Gao Yang smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll go and have a check-up.

Are you coming yourself, or shall I call a doctor?”

Destin shrugged and replied, “Of course, I’ll call a doctor; we should respect the professionals.”

A physical examination was indeed necessary to check for any hidden health issues, such as cardiac and pulmonary function, especially since training would impose a significant physical burden.

Any latent issues might not be apparent during normal times but could be fatal during training.

The first test was a cardiac and pulmonary function test.

Gao Yang was covered in sensors and was following the doctor’s instructions to breathe when Destin, who had been watching, suddenly pressed his earpiece and said to the examining doctor, “Sorry, we need to stop the check-up for a moment.

Please step outside.”

Once the doctor had left, Destin immediately lowered his voice and said to Gao Yang, “The General called; he wants you to take a call.”

Gao Yang removed the sensors from his body, surprised, and said, “It’s three in the morning now, why so late?”

Destin nodded and said, “If you can, come to my office.

The General will call again in five minutes.”

Of course, Gao Yang would take Wolfgang’s call.

He hurriedly followed Destin to his office, and soon the phone rang.

After Destin spoke a few words, he immediately said to Gao Yang, “It’s the General’s call.”

Hearing only what he needed to hear and speaking only what was necessary, Destin implemented this principle flawlessly.

After handing the phone to Gao Yang, he left the office, leaving Gao Yang alone.

Gao Yang took the phone and said in a deep voice, “Hello, this is Ram.”

“Ram, I have a favor to ask.

Can you come here?”

Gao Yang had no idea what Wolfgang needed help with.

If it was just sparring with personnel at the base, Wolfgang wouldn’t need to call him in the middle of the night, nor would it be something that needed his help to such an extent.

Gao Yang didn’t dare to agree immediately, because he didn’t know what was involved.

So, he said in a deep voice, “I’m willing to help, but I need to know if I can be of any assistance.

General, can you tell me what you need me to do?”

Wolfgang responded gravely, “I know you can help, but I can’t tell you what it involves.

You’ll know everything once you get here.”

Gao Yang pondered briefly, then replied firmly, “I’m willing to help, General.”

“Good, someone will come to pick you up.

They have already arrived.

If you’re willing to help, then come with them right away.

I’ll be waiting for you.”

After Wolfgang hung up, Gao Yang put the phone down, opened the office door, and Destin said solemnly, “I don’t know what’s happened, and I can’t ask, but someone is already waiting for you at the entrance of the training camp.

They have driven in now.”

Gao Yang nodded and said, “I’m going with them.

I don’t know when I’ll be back; I leave my men in your care.

Continue with the planned activities.”

Destin and Gao Yang talked as they quickly walked outside the office building.

As soon as they stepped out, a black sedan almost simultaneously pulled up in front of them.

Gao Yang stepped forward, opened the car door, and said to Destin, “Goodbye.” (To be continued.
