Just like that, the military training that was worth expending youth on was nearing its end. When the drillmaster blew the whistle to dismiss them, everyone almost wept in each other's arms as they cheered. After all, living in this shit hole for a week, with no network, with cellphone reception that was occasionally faint, and also being taught by a devil about discipline every day, was just like living in the abyss of suffering, but the pain needed to be compared with what was clear and obvious. For Ke Bu, staying with the perverted team for almost a week was worse, by comparison, than the military training itself.

The last dinner was as rich as the first day. In accordance with common sense, the camp food should only be getting more and more scarce. Ke Bu's right eye twitched. All of a sudden, he hurriedly counted the number of people, then he calmed down. It seemed that everyone was still living and in good health.

In other words, Ke Bu's heart was also cruel enough to be able to imagine that the meat in the pot was his team member. But, this could not be blamed on Ke Bu's mental breakdown as well. Though assuming the position of team leader brought him some might and self-pride, he slowly discovered that wearing the title of team leader, to put it nicely, was just like wearing a bomb; to put it bluntly, was just like wearing a lump of shit.

The team members were happy doing bad things. They were scolded by the drillmaster to be worse than a dog or a pig. Everyday, he had his heart in his mouth, afraid that Ying Xiujie would probably go to the other teams, forcing his way to violently rob from them; Chu Haoyu would deceive a woman from a respectable family; then Zhou Xinhe, from time to time, would disappear with a set of cutting tools, afterwards, she would show up with blood; Su Youyan's attitude of, just because she had finished reading her book, at any time, would be ready to leave the team to go back to buy a book. He even had to pay attention to Gong Zhu and Zhi Li's development. All of these filled Ke Bu with grief so that he no longer wanted to live. This was called being lonely at the top.

"It smells good, where did this meat come from?" Ke Bu asked Zhou Xinhe.

Zhou Xinhe revealed a very small dimple and she seemed a bit shy: "It seems to be a wild chicken. I was preparing the dishes when it suddenly ran into me."

"Then our team's luck is really good. You called Xiujie to help you butcher it, right?" This cruel scene of killing a chicken should not be mentioned to girls. Even some boys would be very afraid.

Zhou Xinhe shook her head. Her face was innocent and lovely: "Why should I ask for Xiujie's help? To butcher a chicken, isn't it that you just need to grab its head, cut its throat with a knife, and then put it in hot water to pull out all of the feathers? I've always done this minor matter by myself, but I get blood splashes all over my body, so I had to change my clothes again."

Ke Bu's cold sweat flowed directly. He originally thought that Zhou Xinhe was the most normal person in the team, and this not-change-color attitude, where did the shy Zhou Xinhe go!? Could it be that as long as it involved preparing the dishes, you would even forget your own character?

When everyone was eating in a frenzy, members from other teams came running in a hurry: "Not good, a farmer's domesticated chicken was stolen in the mountain. The drillmaster asked everyone to help look for it, did you see it?"

Chu Haoyu and Ying Xiujie who were gnawing a chicken leg shook their heads: "We didn't see it."

After they left, Ke Bu pointed at the two and cursed: "You didn't see? Then, what are you chewing in your mouth?!"
