Heatstroke is a condition that can range from minor to severe.
Mild heatstroke can be relieved by resting in a cool, ventilated place for a while and drinking plenty of water.
However, severe heatstroke can potentially lead to heatstroke.
It has a high probability of causing death.
Shi Lei firmly believed that the morning sun was not intense, making it impossible for these students to suffer from heatstroke, but the school doctor’s words shattered his perception.
However, Shi Lei did not know that the excessive exercise over the past three days had already caused muscle soreness and occasional cramps among the students.
Moreover, everyone was in a state of dehydration due to the lack of adequate rest.
Yesterday, Yue Qingqing noticed that everyone was not in good shape and felt that they should rest properly.
But with Shi Lei as the instructor, it was impossible for them to get any rest time. Instead, he might think they were deliberately causing trouble and intensify the training.
Students at Minghua University often possess extraordinary willpower.
Despite feeling uncomfortable over the past two days, everyone endured it, not wanting to fall behind or be looked down upon.
Therefore, Yue Qingqing suggested that everyone should make a big fuss during tomorrow’s training, so everyone could see firsthand the treatment they were subjected to.
Once their strained mental fortitude collapses, coupled with the continuous torment over the past few days, those with weaker bodies would naturally fall one after another.
All of this ultimately stemmed from Shi Lei’s unscientific and irregular training regimen.
Those who collapsed were hurriedly helped to the medical room.
Shi Lei stood still like a wooden stake, motionless.
Director Gao looked at him angrily, "Instructor Shi! How can you not immediately send the students to the medical room when such a big incident occurs and wait for me to handle it instead?"
"If I hadn’t brought the school doctor here today, would these children still be standing under the scorching sun? Can you take responsibility if someone dies?"
Shi Lei remained silent, unable to refute.
Yue Qingqing, who stayed there, said, "Director Gao, there are some circumstances that are not convenient to discuss in public."
"Then choose two people from your class to accompany Instructor Shi to my office." Director Gao glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Instructor Zhang.
"Instructor Zhang, I believe you are aware of some circumstances as well. Please come along too."
Instructor Zhang actually had a sense of the situation but could not call out his comrade-in-arms, so he excused himself, saying, "I still have students training here."
Director Gao snorted, "Training for what? Let them go back to the dormitory to rest first. I can’t bear the responsibility if a few more suffer from heatstroke."
Facing Director Gao’s insinuations, Shi Lei said nothing.
From the initial shock to now, Shi Lei didn’t think he had done anything wrong.
He believed that the bottom line was that these students lacked exercise, which led to the consequences.
If there was any fault to be found.
It was only that he mistakenly thought the students were using tricks to avoid training and hence did not send them to the medical room immediately.
Yue Qingqing and Zhong Quan followed Director Gao to the office.
Director Gao sat on the chair, "Speak, what’s going on?"
"Director, this is the situation. Since the military training started a few days ago, Instructor Shi has been extremely strict with us. Of course, we can understand the strictness of the instructor, but I believe that his training has exceeded the normal military training intensity, causing damage to our physical and mental health."
Zhong Quan explained the situation over the past few days.
When he heard that Shi Lei made the students run several kilometers as warm-up from early morning every day, Director Gao’s expression changed.
Upon hearing that there was only one break during lunch every day despite the hot weather, he became even angrier.
"Instructor Zhang, is what this student said true?"
