Time files, it has already been a month.

A sudden deep and heavy roar arises from the mountains and mountains of valley, thick black smoke came from a huge military truck that was driving quickly in the distance. There wasn’t any paths in the valleys. It was a natural trench in the never ending plain field. But because of the the tires of the trucks that were up to 4 foot in diameter was no longer a obstacle.

The truck rushed to the mouth of the valley, the suddenly stopped. As if a beast, the entire truck shook violently, causing a deep crack in on ground, and stops. The back of the truck gave out a burst of crackling sound, the thick black smoked stopped, instead, a gush of steam was emitted.

The door of the truck opened, a roughly 30 year old soldier looked around and jumped off from the back that was 2 meter high, then he placed the little boy that was in his embrace on the ground .

He was born delicate and pretty, his soft black hair sticking out of his head that was already wet from the sweat . His face was pale and he seems like he was bearing the urge to puke, due to the crazy and wild trip. He wobbled a bit, using all his strength to stand straight. He wore black coat that tightened around his body, warding off the wind.

At the mouth of the valley, stood a person, a lonely man.

In the cold piercing wind, he bared his chest, carrying his hands and feets equally, both shoulders balanced. This was the most basic solider position, which he took on with an overbearingly tyrannical aura.

Just him alone blocked all the valley’s pa.s.sageway .

The middle aged soldier walked to the boy, leaving a distance of not up to metre apart, stopped and said, “Longhai, you still look the same.”

Longhai opened his mouth wide , revealing a mouthful of silver and gold teeths and said , “Shiyan, you are late by 3 minutes.” (TL: It’s only three mins wts)

Shiyan said, ”I had to kill some small team of the silent dark race I met on my way here, thus some time was delayed.”

Longhai gave a cold smile and said, “A small dark race team is enough to delay your time, it seems like your skills hasn’t really improved, right! Was it because you were a dog at the Lin family too long that you abandoned your abilities?”

Upon hearing his words, Shiyan did not get angry, instead he dismissively said, “Linsuai is the mainstay of the empire, being able to serve alongside him is enough to make my heart content. You wouldn’t be able to understand these types of things .”

Longhai snorted, instead of arguing with Shiyan, his sight fell on Qianye and said, so this is the child that the higher ups were talking about? Why is it so similar to a little girl! Can it even be used?”

Shiyan laughed ,”Anyways in the future when he trains under you, if you find him an eyesore, who would care about how you handle it ?”

Longhai grunted again and said ,”You should know about this place of ours, no matter who or what status, we are all treated equally .”

“Of course I know.”

“Then lets not waste anymore time, let him come over!”

Yanshi, with an expressionless face just like a stone, kneeled in front of QianYe and said while caressing his head ,”Go , follow the instructor. Remember, firstly, no matter what he tells you to do, do it immediately! Secondly, I hope in a few years time I will be able to see you come out of this place alive.”

Even though QianYe was abit loss, he could hear the seriousness of his words and nodded his head.

Yanshi smiled, he already liked this fellow.

Thousand night was a quiet child, though his att.i.tude and character was very stubborn, he will always do as he promised.

Longhai was surprised, “For the 20 years I’ve known you , this is my first time seeing you smile so much !”

But the moment he stood up, his face turned expressionless,” How can I smile when I see your face.”

Longhai’s thick arteries jumped up that instance .

Shortly after, the trucks left, and QianYe was behind Longhai, they headed to the valleys. The pathway was narrow, and there was still no sight of anything after a near 2 hours of walking .

QianYe walked alongide longhai, but he suddenly saw a large graffiti written in blood that states : ‘Welcome to h.e.l.l!’

QianYe could not completely fantom these words, but he was attracted to it , and it seemed like nothing can pull him away from it . He walked forward while turning back to look at it untill he could not see it anymore. Even though the words are gone from his sight, it was still etched deeply in his heart, every stroke of the words were still bleeding, blood still dripping downwards from it!

The sky slowly darkened, the valley seemingly a beast waiting for Qianye with its mouth opened .

Only deep into the night did he then understand that he was at a place worst than h.e.l.l: Death camp.

The hour hand hits 12. At this time, many people will should have been entering their dream worlds, but for those in the camp, it was the start of h.e.l.l.

In the cold living room, QianYe squeezed together with kids of his size while listening to Longhai’s lecture .

Longhai walked back and forth in front of these children, occasionally giving a stare to one or two kids. “In here, you will only need to remember three things, firstly, obedience, secondly, obedience, thirdly is also obedience! In here, orders are only given once thus you will have only one chance. For now, all of you stand close to the wall, no movements and words upon the next order !

The kids were pushing and shoving each other to stand close to the wall. They did not wait for the next order.
With his hands behinds is back, Longhai strode out of the living room, locking the metal door shut .

For nearly 10 minutes, silence filled the hall, but after another 10 minutes, the active kids could not resist it anymore.

The boy beside thousand night looked at him and out of a sudden, whispered, “I’m Jacky, my house works in the ZhangJian province business. I heard that this place is really scary, maybe we can be friends since my father use to say that it is easier to survive with accompany.

At that moment, QianYe recalled Shiyan’s words : Must listen to Longhai.

As Longhai had just said, no moving, no speaking.

Though receiving no reaction from him, Jacky did not give up : “ Wei! There’s n.o.body here that is eyeing on us! At least tell me your name! “
(TLC: Wei is similar to oi, is like a noise for garnering attention.)

Seeing QianYe standing like a statue, not even moving his fingers, Jacky merely muttered to himself .

Half an hour later, some kids started to whisper to each other, some even moved away, exercising their sore legs .
The hall suddenly burst into loud noises, some children who argued for various unknown reasons, and ended up in a fight with neither side backing off.

Since no officials came to stop their movements, thus the kids became more relaxed. After fighting, the kids naturally backed off each other, and went back to their original places. At this moment , more kids starting chatting to each other, the hall thus slowly became noisier.

When the clock struck one o’clock, the metal door suddenly opened, Longhai started walking in and behind him was a bunch of big guys holding onto whips.

The hall suddenly decreased in warmth, the once active kids went pale and started shaking.

Longhai glanced the entire scene and nodded, “ good! very good! There were fights and talking. At first I was worried that I did not give you guys a deep impression, looking at this, I suppose that thought was unnecessary .”

Longhai’s face suddenly darkened, he pointed to the kids that were fighting earlier on and said, “Capture them and tell the others, what does breaking the rules results in!“

Though it sounded weird and many were still at a lost, those smarter kids who understood what it meant were so scared to the extend of almost fainting onto the ground.

The six child that were fighting were brought to the middle of the big living room were lined up in a row.

Longhai smirked and said ,”In here , the only consequences to breaking the rules is…..death ! “

A guy took out a weird gun and pointed at a kid, the muzzle capable of fitting a child’s fist !

The gun emitted a red glow, and a large sound echoed through the entire hall, causing their ears to feel like exploding!

The red glow flashed and the upper part of the boy disappeared, only his two legs were on the ground! His fresh blood splattered to more than 10 meters away and were on the wall at the other side of the room.

The guy let out a cruel smile, shifting his gun onto another child .

The boy used to have a unruly look, but after all this, he finally started to panic and shouted ,”No ! I don’t want to die, my uncle is the king’s warrior ! he…..“

With another shot fired, his words were interrrupted .

“King’s warrior ? Haha, even if it’s the king’s son, once here, the rules and consequences still applies.” The guy laughed coldly.

The roar of gunfire continued, after 6 gunshots , the entire hall was filled with flesh and blood .

Longhai then said “ Now, those that talked just now ,come out, take off your clothes and kneel down! Count yourself lucky, 3 whips will do. However , whoever that lies to me, the consequences will be just like the 6 kids just now!”

The kids looked at each other , many walked towards the centre , got naked and kneeled down honestly. Only a measly 20 kids are left standing at the wall.

“Is there really no one left?” Longhai asked again .

Two kids who were originally standing at the wall slowly and quietly came out.

Longhai nodded and said,” You two, 5 whips each.”

The two kids instantly turned pale, but it was too late for regrets.

Longhai suddenly pointed to four kids that were standing near the wall and said “How dare you lie to me! Go and die.”

The four crying children were pull to the centre of the hall, then there was continuous deafening sounds.

Just like this, after the first night in Death camp, QianYe clearly understood what the consequences were for breaking the rules. Just like this, the student population decreased by half.

At dawn, 3 am, QianYe and the other kids were chased into a big room.

There were rows of double decker beds, every child quietly chose a bed and then slept. n.o.body talked, neither did they cry .

QianYe followed what they did and laid down, but he was awoken by the pain in his back .

Through the night, countless of moans were heard, but it was evident that all of them was oppressed.

Qianye turned on his side, carefully laying on his bed. Trying to not agitate his wound.

He had gotten a lash too.

Those who similar to him, listened to the orders, received only one lash, they were a group which consisted of only 15 kids.
