"Fuck your grandma, you old bastard, what kind of drug did you give me? Speak up."

Sure enough, three days later, the other party found Xiaofan and Li San again.

As agreed earlier, the moment they saw each other, they had to curse angrily, and Li San fully displayed his old rogue nature.

Uncle Zhong looked at Li San with a calm expression, as if he was used to his reactions.

"It was me, so what?"

Alright, the other side admitted it straight away, and so what? In his eyes, the two young ones in front of him had no way out. If they didn't comply, they'd suffer.

"Fuck you, hurry up and give me the antidote, or I'll take you out now."

"Try it."

Uncle Zhong leisurely drank his tea with a dismissive look.

"You..."

"Alright, tell us, why did you call us here?" Li San's act was spot on, and now it was time for the main show.

"You're really calm. Don't worry, one pill's effects can last a week. Within this week, the toxins in your bodies won't act up. As long as you take another pill before it does, you'll be fine. We called you here because we plan to send you to the training base for a while." Uncle Zhong lazily said, not even looking at the two of them.

"Training?" Xiaofan was slightly puzzled.

"Training my ass, I'm already this tough, what more training do I need?" Li San said displeased.

The duo played their parts perfectly, setting each other up well.

"Do you still want the pills or not?" Uncle Zhong asked disdainfully.

"I..." Li San was at a loss for words and had to pretend to be helpless.

"When do we depart? When do we get the pills?"

"Leave immediately, pack your bags and go. No phones or communication devices allowed. Once you're in the car, you'll get the pills."

Xiaofan and Li San exchanged a look, grabbed two sets of clothes, slung them over their shoulders, and followed Uncle Zhong out the door.

Once in the car, their eyes were blindfolded again, and they received the pills in their hands. Then, they were driven off directly.

After about three hours, they got off the car, still not allowed to remove the blindfolds, and were directly loaded onto a helicopter.

This time, it was unclear how long it took. When the helicopter descended, their blindfolds were finally removed. After landing, Xiaofan saw an endless forest ahead, and behind them, a sizable command center. Inside the command center were many soldiers in camouflage uniforms, all holding guns.

Judging by their uniforms, they weren't Huaxia soldiers; their attire was more like mercenaries.

What on earth was this place? Would their training happen here?

"Ah, give me the antidote, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore."

While Xiaofan was still puzzled, a piercing cry came from within the forest, as a man stumbled out of the woods.

It was evident that this person was also controlled by neurotoxins but hadn't received any pills as an outsider member.

'Bang bang bang...'

As Xiaofan pondered, a series of gunshots rang out, leaving the man riddled with bullets like a sieve. He just collapsed straight in front of Xiaofan.

"You guys are a week late, and since you already got a pill before you came, you'll each get only one more pill and a week's worth of rations. You have to stay in this forest until the end of the month. If you come out alive, you pass."

As Xiaofan watched a life fade away, the officer who received them explained the training rules with an impossibly cold voice.

Cold, heart-chilling cold.

Shen Zuimo had given him the same feeling before. Xiaofan knew she had a hard past, but he didn't expect the training environment to be even harsher than he imagined.

Is this the so-called first step of assassin training? There are still twenty-three days until the end of the month. Two pills are only enough for fourteen days, which means if you don't want to be tortured, you have to seize pills from others suffering from toxins.

Everyone here is a newcomer and hasn't become an assassin yet. After they seize things, they might not kill anyone. But after being corroded by toxins, they can't endure it and can only run out of the forest to seek help. And the only outcome waiting for them is…

The harrowing cries for help lingered around, but the person was already gradually turning cold. Why, just for training, must such cruel things be done for quick success?

"Get in the car, we'll drive you in."

Xiaofan didn't say a word and got on a jeep with Li San, quickly entering the forest.

The forest had a total of forty-eight people; counting Xiaofan and Li San, who just arrived, there was a total of fifty. One died, leaving forty-nine, or rather, who knows how many had already been killed in the previous days.

"This is your locator, keep it. If you're still breathing by the end of the month, you pass. We'll find you. Get down..."

Xiaofan and Li San stepped into this unfamiliar forest. Even though it was only afternoon, the dense foliage completely covered the sky, blocking out any view of the blue sky. The surroundings were extremely gloomy, creating a very eerie feeling.

"What are you thinking about?" Li San asked casually.

"I don't know, I'm afraid I might soften up." Xiaofan sighed, realizing what problems they'd encounter next.

"How about we just find a place to hide and stay there until the end of the month?" Li San suggested a rather acceptable idea.

Out of sight, out of mind; if you can't see it, nothing's happening.

"Let's hope so, but no, it doesn't seem possible." Xiaofan suddenly stopped, feeling the killing qi. And they were being watched by more than one person.

The rustling from the bushes indicated that the opponent was slowly approaching.

"What do we do?"

"Hope they're not from Huaxia." Xiaofan said helplessly, "Even if they are, don't kill them, spare their lives."

"Got it. They're coming." With Li San's expression turning serious, two figures suddenly lunged at them.

"Hey, hold on, let's talk about this, don't fight, don't fight." Seeing they were Asian, Li San quickly stopped the two.

"…&%%…" However, their language was neither Chinese nor Cantonese.

"No point talking, they're Koreans. I'll beat the shit out of you," Xiaofan snorted coldly, rushing forward before Li San. As long as they weren't Huaxia brothers, Xiaofan didn't worry about their life or death, even if they were forced. Xiaofan wasn't merciful enough to spare everyone, so after the opponent fell, Xiaofan and Li San each obtained three pills.
