Chapter 643: Chapter 314: The Greatest Advantage Is Execution

"If this had been a real battle, we probably would’ve been at a bigger disadvantage!"

"True," Bai Lin agreed with a nod, looking down at the notebook in his hands.

"I just jotted down some of their tactical characteristics. Their reaction speed and coordination are definitely superior to ours."

"Bai Lin, that’s kind of a downer!" Sun Yang craned his neck to get a closer look.

"Can’t you say something about what we did well to boost our morale?"

"Your morale doesn’t need boosting!" Li Chang’an walked in through the doorway, holding a cup of hot water.

"Our greatest strength is our execution.

Even though their coordination is better than ours, their attack tempo clearly didn’t meet their expectations.

As long as we practice a few more times, beating them next time won’t be a problem!"

"Captain, do you really think so?" Sun Yang’s eyes lit up, and he immediately shot up from the sofa.

"When have I ever gone back on my word?" Li Chang’an glanced at him.

"But don’t get too excited.

To beat someone like Nie Feng, you can’t rely on luck. You have to rely on strength.

I’m going to increase the intensity of our upcoming training!"

"More intense?" Han Ruoxi slumped onto the table, looking utterly defeated.

"Captain, you’re not giving us a chance to breathe! We just fought to a draw. Can’t you let us rest for a day?"

"You can," Li Chang’an nodded, then pointed a finger toward the door.

"The rest of the day is yours. We assemble tomorrow at 6 a.m. as usual."

"Six a.m.?!" Sun Yang let out a long sigh to the heavens.

"Captain, can’t you have some sympathy for us poor recruits? Six a.m.? We might as well not sleep at all!"

"Suit yourself," Li Chang’an sat down, unconcerned.

"It’s even better if you don’t sleep. You’ll definitely get first place in the fitness test tomorrow morning!"

Sun Yang was left speechless and could only slump back onto the sofa in defeat.

At dinnertime, everyone gathered in the dining hall again, discussing the day’s simulation mission while they ate.

"Seriously, that Nie Feng guy is really tough to deal with," Han Ruoxi said thoughtfully, chewing on her chopsticks.

"Especially his squad. It feels like every single one of them is as calm and precise as he is, nothing like our chaotic style!"

"Is that a roundabout way of putting us down?!" Sun Yang glared at her.

"Who said we’re chaotic? Our coordination was pretty good. We just weren’t performing at our full potential!"

"You almost made me believe you," Shen Qiuyue said, glancing up at him.

"Do you think today’s performance was our limit?"

"Uh... of course not!" Sun Yang immediately sat up straight.

"I think... we can still... uh..."

"Still what?" Han Ruoxi couldn’t help but interrupt.

"Still drag the team down?"

"Hey, hey, can you not shoot me down like that?" Sun Yang said, exasperated.

"I’m saying, if we work on our synergy a bit more, our coordination will definitely reach the next level!"

"Alright, stop arguing." Li Chang’an put down his chopsticks and looked at them.

"Today’s mission may be over, but this is just the beginning.

Next, we need to make some adjustments to counter the Meteor Squad’s tactics!"

"Captain, have you already made a plan?" Bai Lin looked up, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

"Of course," Li Chang’an nodded.

"After we get back today, I’ll redesign the training plan.

Starting tomorrow, the focus will be on strengthening your cooperative awareness and tactical execution.

Against an opponent like Nie Feng, individual skill alone isn’t enough!"

"Sounds pretty solid," Han Ruoxi nodded, but then her brow furrowed.

"But, Captain, can you please not add any more of those insane high-intensity fitness exercises? My legs still ache just thinking about the last weighted run!"

"Don’t worry," Li Chang’an revealed a mischievous grin.

"It won’t be a weighted run this time. I’ve prepared something much more interesting!"

"More interesting?" Sun Yang looked at him warily.

"Captain, when you say ’interesting,’ you don’t mean the kind of training that makes you want to die, do you?"

"You’ll find out tomorrow," Li Chang’an said no more and went back to eating.

After dinner, everyone returned to the lounge, and a more relaxed atmosphere finally settled over the squad.

"Are we always too rigid?" Sun Yang asked suddenly, leaning back on the sofa.

"It’s just training after training. Aren’t there any recreational activities on this base?"

"Recreational activities?" Han Ruoxi looked at him, confused.

"What do you want to do? Dance? Sing?"

"Singing would be great!" Sun Yang’s eyes lit up.

"How about our squad organizes a karaoke night? Just as a little break between training sessions, what do you think?"

"Are you sure you can sing?" Shen Qiuyue shot him a cold glance.

"Hey, don’t look down on me!" Sun Yang puffed out his chest.

"I can sing in several different styles. I’ll definitely blow you away!"

"Alright, don’t cause trouble," Li Chang’an said lazily, leaning back in his chair.

"If you have time for that, you’d be better off reading a couple more tactical reports."

"Captain, you’re no fun at all!" Sun Yang sighed helplessly.

"Can’t you relax a little? We’re all dead tired, and you want us to read reports?!"

"You don’t have to read them, but don’t think you can slack off," Li Chang’an replied coolly.

"Six a.m. tomorrow, assemble on time!"

The base gradually quieted down for the night. In the Insect Hunter Squad’s dormitory building, only a few scattered lights were on, making it feel especially silent.

After a long and busy day, everyone had returned to their own rooms.

Sun Yang lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

He stared at the ceiling for a long while before finally picking up his walkie-talkie.

"Hello? Hello? Anyone still awake?" His voice crackled through the walkie-talkie into each squad member’s ear.
