Eighteen-year-old Lin Rui was the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination, but he gave up the offer of Tsinghua University and Peking University and resolutely applied for the National University of Defense Technology. This choice stemmed from the early death of his military father - the man who had trained him as a special forces soldier since he was a child, and who eventually died on a border mission.
Carrying his father's legacy, Lin Rui stepped into the gate of the military academy. However, the real test has just begun: the elite selection of special operations, the extremely cruel "Hunter Training", the overt and covert internal competition... And the past secrets that the father has never told.
From military academy elites to "Cheetah Commando" recruits, Lin Rui and his comrades have been tempered in modern battlefields such as counter-terrorism, international joint exercises, overseas evacuation, and cyber attack and defense. There are the most cutting-edge military technologies here, as well as the most primitive bloody battles; there are modern tactical jokes of "starting with a mobile phone to command drone operations", and there are also daily military camp routines of "emergency gathering at three o'clock in the morning just because the company commander lost in a chicken fight".
This is a growth epic spanning 1,000 chapters, telling how a group of young people grow from youth to maturity, from personal heroes to the backbone of the team. In the intertwining of blood and fire, tears and laughter, they finally understood that the strongest "cheetah" is not the king of a single soldier, but the person who can lead the entire group to still believe in the light in the darkest moment before dawn.
