Decheng is an industrial zone that is even more remote than the High-tech Development Zone where the Xinyuan Building is located. It is home to a large pharmaceutical factory under Xinghai Biological, and is surrounded by some derivative industries such as warehouses and dormitories.
The people in the second group of the Security Department are now housed here. The factory has a dormitory area and the surrounding land prices are cheap. It won’t cost much to set up an additional training base.
The people in Group 2 are here for one purpose: practical training, responsible for patrolling the surrounding Xinghai Biological Industry; and secondly, Xia Xu has kept his promise and really invited professionals to provide theoretical knowledge instruction on security, reconnaissance, and military training on physical fitness, combat, and formations.
The latter are actually easier to deal with, after all, they are all elites who were arranged to apply for security positions, and they were specially kept by Xia Xu after being spotted by him. Even if they do not have high-star combat talents, they have undergone professional training and have a very strong foundation. However, the theoretical training of the former is really miserable.
I'm afraid that more than half of this group of people are poor students. After all, according to the current order and morality, all kinds of risky occupations that require bravery and aggressiveness are just marginalized second choices. If they have a choice, the top students should now be working as 996 workers.
Therefore, the theoretical training classes of the Security Department were naturally very similar to those in crappy schools, with students either sleeping soundly or being absent-minded throughout the entire class.
The only one who can study seriously is probably Zou Jin, their nominal team leader.
At this moment, he was grateful to Xia Xu from the bottom of his heart, and he also understood that his ability was limited, so when he saw the opportunity to study, he gritted his teeth and studied hard. Although he couldn't learn much, as the team leader, he had to set a good example.
Apart from theoretical training, the situation with various physical training and military training is completely the opposite.
In order to ensure that they could pass the security recruitment of Xinghai Biology, all of these spies have received training and have excellent skills and physical fitness. Only Zou Jin is an ordinary person.
Although Zou Jin also worked on construction sites for a long time, his endurance was only acceptable, and other aspects were not that good.
Not to mention that he is just a bricklayer. Even if he is really one of those who move bricks all day long, it is not necessarily that they do it purely by hand. What's more, those trained in this way have obvious shortcomings in cardiopulmonary capacity and explosive power, not to mention fighting and force-generating skills.
Therefore, when Xia Xu arrived at the training base in the afternoon carrying a black suitcase, this was the scene he saw: Zou Jin was staggering on the playground track, while the others were already sitting cross-legged on the ground, laughing and resting.
If you observe carefully, you will find that many people often glance at Zou Jin, sometimes with curiosity and admiration, but mostly with a joking or anticipatory look.
"Mr. Xia."
The instructor in charge of training them was very perceptive. After glancing at Xia Xu, he immediately scolded everyone a few times, asked them to stand up and line up quickly, and then trotted over to greet Xia Xu.
"Don't worry about me, let them continue to rest."
Xia Xu nodded slightly. Instead of being angry, he waved his hand and asked them to continue resting.
In fact, these people are not being lazy. To be honest, the instructor Zhang who is in charge of the training is a retired soldier found through Uncle Luo's relationship. He is very reliable in terms of both quality and ability.
In fact, both Instructor Zhang and Zou Jin had already told him the reason for the current situation. The main reason was that Zou Jin was much worse than the others in terms of physical fitness and combat skills, and was a bit of a drag.
Zou Jin could not keep up with the training intensity that the instructor had set according to the levels of the others, but the instructor also could not let the others lose the training effect because of Zou Jin alone, so he had to find a compromise.
This compromise is only slightly difficult for others, but for Zou Jin it is completely hell-level training. Even if he can barely complete it, it will take him longer than others.
Fortunately, Zou Jin was quite competitive. Perhaps out of gratitude or perhaps because of his strong will, he managed to endure all the high-intensity training without making a sound.
However, this lagging performance was destined to make him lose any prestige in the eyes of these troublesome spies. Except for a few who admired his willpower, the rest of them basically watched him for fun.
Therefore, his identity as a team leader is actually quite awkward now, as his words are not as useful as those of Instructor Zhang who is responsible for training them, or even the martial arts fanatic Zhou Mingjie who has outstanding martial arts skills.
"You are finally here, come on, hurry up and fight with me, or I will really leave."
Of course, the people from Security Group 2 also saw Xia Xu at this moment. The most excited one among them was naturally Zhou Mingjie. He immediately ignored whether he was an instructor or not and walked towards Xia Xu with high morale.
He was a martial arts fanatic, and he came to Xinghai Biological just to fight Xia Xu, so he acted without much scruples.
"Is your previous promise still valid?"
Xia Xu came here today just to recruit Zhou Mingjie, the martial arts fanatic, and to teach those people in Group 2 a lesson, so he did not refuse this time. He raised his eyebrows slightly without comment and looked at him with amusement.
"Of course, if you beat me, I will work for you, but if you lose or get killed by me..."
Choke!
Zhou Mingjie directly drew out the eight-sided Han sword that he always carried with him, and his eyes were filled with a hint of excitement and bloodthirstiness with a hint of rebelliousness.
"Okay, then I'll give you a chance today, and I'll give you a chance every year in the future."
Xia Xu let go of the suitcase and pushed it aside with his foot. Then he didn't make any fighting gesture, but just smiled relaxedly and hooked his arm towards Zhou Mingjie.
"You look down on me? If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Zhou Mingjie became angry, stepped forward, drew his sword and started to kill.
He came to Xia Xu to compete with him because he was impressed by his swordsmanship when he killed the werewolf. However, Xia Xu didn't even bring a sword with him and even said that he would give him one chance every year.
Doesn't this mean that you can completely underestimate him and conclude that you can beat him with nothing
Even though his eight-sided Han sword is not sharpened, it can still kill people!
An expert can tell whether a person is viable or not with just one move. Zhou Mingjie showed amazing explosive power when he made this move. The Eight-sided Han Sword even made a sharp whistle when it was swung down, which appeared as a splash of silver light in the eyes of people with poor dynamic vision.
Not to mention an unsharpened sword, if it were to hit someone effectively, even a short wax stick would be enough to break their bones.
It's a pity that his target was obviously not an easy opponent either. When the sword was about to hit him, he took a leisurely step to the left as if he had predicted it, and the sword just brushed his earlobe and missed.
Others might be shocked when encountering this, but Zhou Mingjie seemed to be immersed in the fight at this moment. After the sword in his hand missed the target, he turned it into a slash without any delay and continued to attack his opponent.
Compared with the domineering and sharp Miao Dao, the swordsmanship is more agile and changeable, and the moves are mainly swift. Once the initiative is seized, it can be said that it is ruthless. The Eight-sided Han Sword is wielded by it like water cannot penetrate it, and there is no chance for anyone to breathe.
But after a burst of attacks, not only were the people present stunned, even Zhou Mingjie, who was concentrating and immersed in the competition, could not help but be shocked.
“The cicadas know the coming of autumn before the wind blows?”
Zhou Mingjie's face changed drastically, he stopped his sword move and withdrew.
With his fierce attack just now, he was confident that he could kill anyone who came up to him, but unexpectedly the person in front of him dodged it easily.
And it was not an ordinary dodge and retreat, but he controlled the distance and dodged in a tiny space through body movements and changes. Every time it seemed like the difference was just a hair's breadth, and it was even as if he was not the one chopping people, but people were entangled with his sword.
Of course, compared to a bystander, Zhou Mingjie, as a person who has experienced it personally, actually has a more intuitive and terrifying experience.
It was as if the opponent had foreseen everything! Every time he swung his sword, it was as if he had predicted all of his attack intentions!
