Decoded
Episode 003
Feeling energetic?
This was found on the enemy agent.
I'm becoming famous this time.
It seems like we are blind,
but our enemies are not.
That's the crux of the problem.
Originally, Liu Yiping was the one closest to Purple Code.
But he went crazy.
Zheng Dang, what do you think we should do now?
Purple Code is indeed the most complicated
and the trickiest code that I have ever came across
Not only did it drive Liu Yiping insane, it also made me lose confidence.
Stop searching, stop searching.
We can’t decode the Purple Code. I don’t have liquor for you here.
I am drinking this liquor for sure.
I’ve found hope, because I discovered someone.
- Who?- Rong Jinzhen.
Rong Jinzhen, it’s time for breakfast!
Rong Jinzhen!
- Rong Jinzhen!- Where is my bag?
Which bag is it?
I hung it around my neck. The bag that I've always hung around my neck!
It's missing!
Your bags were sent to the security office. After checking, if there’s no problem, they will be returned to you.
Don't worry, they won’t go missing.
I want my bag! I want it now!
Why are you so stubborn? Didn’t I tell you, they were sent to the security office!
The bags can only be returned to you after they pass inspection. Do you understand now?
I want my bag!
From what you've just said, he is really a genius.
My intuition tells me that if you compare our standards in the field of mathematics,
if my standard is that of a junior high school student, his standard
would be of a university professor.
Is it that mysterious?
I think highly of him, just like how you believe in me.
For the Purple Code to be decoded, Rong Jinzhen is our hope.
All right.
Originally, this special training is to be in charge by Lei Ting.
However, due to the appearance of Jin Rongzhen, I want your full participation. If jade is not cut and polished, it cannot be made into anything.
- I have one condition. - Say it.
Two bottles of Vodka.
Five bottles.
Rong Jinzhen!
Can you hurry up?
Today is the first time that all the students will assemble. Do you intend to be late?
I want my bag!
Report! Section Chief An! Division Chief Lei wants you to go over immediately.
I got it.
Wait.
Go to the security office and bring the bag here.
Yes, sir!
Classmate.
Hi, my name is Pan Sen.
Hello, Pan Sen. My name is Yan Shi.
Are you a mathematics student?
No, investigative studies.
I heard that a mathematical genius is coming for training, he has high ability.
I have so many questions that I want to discuss with him. I wonder which school he’s from.
- Ning Zhou University! -Ning Zhou University?
Ning Zhou University! You were right about something, that fellow is indeed a genius.
But, he is also my little brother.
The story goes like this. Division Chief Zheng came to our school and he issued a particularly tough question.
Many professors could not solve the question.
But this fellow, under my guidance, neatly and quickly
solved the question.
Let me tell you guys, the person who discovered his talent and recruited him isn’t Division Chief Zheng.
His true benefactor is me.
I concede. I concede.
Have a good look at all these information.
Although these people have their personal strengths, each of them also has their own problems.
Whether they get to enter the North Campus and be accepted by Unit 701 or not, depends on our subsequent training sessions.
Division Chief Lei, I think one of them isn’t suitable to participate in training.
Who?
Everyone, I'm not boasting,
my little brother has three main hobbies in his life.
Eating dumplings, solving problems and counting ants.
You gave me a fright!
She’s coming.
Who?
A beautiful lady.
Southeast direction, thirty-eight meters.
Walking leisurely towards us now.
Twenty meters.
Fifteen meters.
Two feet five inches.
One foot eight inches.
Two feet six inches.
Enter.
Buddy,
I would say that you’re not bad.
You can even make out the sound of this, this, and this.
I concede. Actually, I saw her
running on the track this morning.
Impressive.
Comrade Zhai Li has a photographic memory,
A talent that is hard to come by.
Why isn’t she suitable to participate in the training?
I think her reason of joining Unit 701 isn’t simple.
Oh? Tell me about it.
It’s like this, this matter has got to do with me.
She wrote you a total of 108 love letters.
I would think that her reason of coming here has got to do with these letters.
The people in Unit 701 have no secrets. Every letter sent to mailbox 36
has to scrutinized by the organization.
But I didn't reply to any of her letters.
This is also exactly the reason why I agreed to let her stay.
An Neng, I know that you are a highly disciplined person.
Now is the time that we need to employ talented people.
Zhai Li was recruited based on her own abilities.
I believe that you won't let your personal emotions
affect your work.
Am I right?
Yes.
May I know your name?
Zhai Li.
Nice to meet you, Zhai Li.
I happened to pick up a pen on the track this morning.
This is yours, right?
I'm seeing someone.
This is inappropriate.
As far as I know, students cannot be in romantic relationships according to the rules.
Even if you want, you should find someone within the school.
Let me repeat, I'm seeing someone.
Ok, I admit that
I just wanted find an excuse to get to know you.
Meng Xiaoyun.
Well, now you've got to know me. You may leave.
She asked you to leave.
I heard that Zheng Dang encountered an ambush on the way there.
It was a narrow escape and he came back safely.
Division Chief Zheng.
Thank you Division Chief Lei for your concern, I'm fine.
Leaders, please continue the conversation.
Rong Jinzhen!
Why haven't you come out?
What's the matter?
Hurry, come out!
Does your leg still hurt on cloudy days?
I heard that this medicine works, try it.
Thank you.
After taking your medicine, I think, not only my legs won't hurt on cloudy days,
I will soon be able to run like a horse too.
Come on.
- I would like to ask you a favour. - When was the time you came without asking a favour from me?
Has it got to do with the newcomers' training?
Nobody understands me better than Division Chief Lei.
Regarding the newcomers' training this time, this is what I think...
No way. I'm in charge of every newcomers' training in Unit 701.
You still want to fight with me over the main instructor position?
You see, you always don't finish hearing what I have to say.
Who would want to fight with you?
I want to recommend a person to you.
That person is in your division.
I think that, we have been in Unit 701 for a long time.
We are not young anymore.
We should give young people chances to learn through experiences.
I think An Neng is not bad, he can do the job.
Originally, if you don't say it,
I really wanted to let him be the main instructor.
But since you find me old,
I insist on letting you see an aged person with great aspirations.
For this training, I insist on being the main instructor.
I just want to let you see whether I can still work at this old age.
Buddy, you're so fast.
You tried to get close to her when you didn't even know her name.
You're so thick-skinned.
Why not give me the pen?
- Anyway, I don't mind. - Leave me alone.
Hey, you are so easily offended.
Is that pen a stolen loot?
Who stole it? I'll whip you if you say it again.
- I say, what's the matter with you? - Who are you calling a thief?
- I'm calling you a thief. - Say it one more time.
- I'm calling you a thief. - I'll punch you if you say it again.
- Thief! Thief! Punch me! - I''ll punch you!
- Come! If you dare! - You go away first.
- Enough! Enough! - Give me a punch if you dare!
- I punch! I punched you! So what? - You punched me, right?
- I punched you, so what? - Punch me here! - I punched you, so what? - Punch me here! Punch me here!
Not bad, they are trained.
Little fellow, this is interesting.
- Just you wait, I will take off your clothes layer by layer! - Come!
Stop it!
You.
What's your name?
Report! Zhao Qirong!
You?
Report! Meng Xiaoyun!
- Sit down! - Yes!
Well done, fighting on the first day in my presence.
It seems like you still don't know where you've come to.
Section Chief An, I've retrieved what you want from the security office.
Good.
Rong Jinzhen! Your bag is here!
Rong Jinzhen!
I beg you, you are already late. Everyone is waiting for you!
Will you hurry up?
What exactly is in his bag?
In the next three months,
you will be in this base
and you will be receiving political education, undergoing military training,
and learning about the operations
in order to become a qualified member of Unit 701.
Outside the window, separated by a mountain,
is Unit 701's North Campus.
It is also where the frontline members of Unit 701 work and study.
More importantly, it is the heart of Unit 701.
Unit 701's South Campus is separated from the North Campus by a mountain.
It is mainly in charge of logistics support and supplying basic necessities.
After three months, those of you who pass the examination will enter the North Campus.
Those who get eliminated will stay in the South Campus,
and become logistics officers.
- Do you understand? - Understood!
From now on,
be it your daily life or your studies,
every detail of it
will be part of the assessment criteria.
It is also the only chance for you to enter the North Campus.
Is there someone who's not here yet?
Report! Instructor An already asked him to hurry up.
Report!
Let me introduce him to everyone.
He is your main instructor for this training.
From now on, he will be in charge of your training and curriculum planning.
Hello, everyone!
I will also like to introduce a new student to you.
Rong Jinzhen!
Come in.

Everyone, welcome him!
From today onwards, everyone of you will have
a small box of your own at this place.
In this box, you will put your awards,
medals, possessions, and your will.
Before every mission,
you will put your last will into the box.
This sounds rather abrupt, doesn't it?
When I first stood here and heard these words, I had the same reaction as you.
I couldn't sleep for a few days.
Usually, at your age, you should think about how to write a good love letter,
and not your will.
But I want to tell you,
because of this box, you will become different from the rest.
Your youth will be full of glory!
Although the box is small, it is brimming with responsibility,
sense of mission, and dreams.
For your glory and dreams,
you have to give, what a normal person cannot imagine, your sweat
and tears, and even your life.
Perhaps, for now, you cannot truly understand what I've just said.
But there will be a day,
when you've lived through a life-and-death situation in a concealed battle line.
You will understand
what this small box means to your life.
Well said.
Good day, President!
Comrades, I am Gao Tie.
Welcome to Unit 701.
I used to lead troops into battles. I'm quite stubborn.
Also, my words don't sound as pleasant as Instructor An's.
I just want to remind you,
it is easy to enter Unit 701, but it isn't easy to leave.
From this day that you enter onwards,
you belong to Unit 701 when you're alive. Even if you die, you must die for Unit 701.
- Do you understand? - Understood!
- Han Bing! - Here!
Come with me.
This is your father's secret box.
Now, I'm passing the key to you.
I hope that you will carry on his legacy.
I salute you on behalf of Unit 701.

Han Zai Xing!
Come out if you have the guts!
How does it feel to be buried alive? Do you know?
- Gui Lan! Gui Lan! - Mother, wake up! - Wake up!
Mother! Wake up!
I, Han Zai Xing, has done my part to serve the country in this lifetime and my conscience is clear.
But, I feel apologetic towards my wife and child.
Why didn't you reply to my letters?
I've told you, I have no time. I'm busy with work.
I had time to write, why didn't you have time to reply?
That's your business.
Fine.
Whether to reply is your business. But, whether to write is my business.
Anyway, I will continue to write letters for you.
Here, this is for you.
What do you mean?
I've told you, I won't write you any replies.
Who told you that this is a letter?
It's a will!
Mine.
Don't you remember yourself saying so much, with so much passion just now?
Didn't you say that we have to put our will in the secret box after we enter Unit 701?
I've thought about it. Anyways, when i die,
my will will be left for you.
It's so troublesome to put it in the box.
I might as well just give it to you directly.
Why don't you open it now and have a look?
It's best not to joke about things like that.
Take it back.
You can tear it, or throw it away. After that, rewrite your will and put it in the secret box.
Leave it for the person closest to you.
So,
who are you giving your will to?
Who is the person closest to you?
It's none of your business.
Instructor An.
Rong Jinzhen, what's the matter?
Are you free now?
He's not free!
I'm free.
I said he's not free!
But Instructor An said he's free!
Sorry, excuse me.
Thank you.
Zhai Li, close the door.
What's the matter?
Erm...
This Rong Jinzhen really doesn't know how to assess situations.
Irritating!
I don't want to write my will,
because I don't wish to die,
I wish to go home.
Can I request that you send me home now?
Rong Jinzhen,
you just left house, it is inevitable that you are still not used to it here. It's normal.
But I assure you,
through several months of training,
you will be integrated into Unit 701’s big family.
By then, even if I want to chase you away, you won’t want to leave.
But I want to go home now.
Why? You want to be a deserter?
Division Chief Zheng thinks highly of you, he even expects you to enter the North Campus.
I’ve calculated. There’s a ninety-six point five percent chance that I will enter the South Campus.
- But I…- What did you say?
How many percent?
Ninety-six point five.
Ninety-six point five percent chance of entering the South Campus.
How did you know that?
I saw the curriculum and the timetable.
All these items with red crosses, are those that I have zero knowledge of.
I’ve calculated, three months is equal to ninety-one days.
Which is equal to two thousand one hundred and eighty-four hours.
One hundred thirty-one thousand and forty minutes.Seven million eight hundred and sixty-two thousand and four hundred seconds.
Minus away eating and sleeping, the time left for learning
is only three million nine hundred and thirty-one thousand and two hundred seconds.
The average time I take to learn a new skill is
one million two hundred and ninety-six thousand seconds.
So, there’s a ninety-six point five percent chance that I will fail the assessment.
I will go to the South Campus.
Rong Jinzhen, how did you calculate all this?
I calculated just like that.
Training results do not rely solely on number crunching.
There are many other factors.
For example, a person’s talent
and willpower. Results are not set in stone.
I know, I have took what you’ve just said into consideration.
But there are so many items which I have no knowledge of.
The chance of me getting eliminated
definitely won’t be lower than ninety-six point five percent.
Rong Jinzhen.
Even if what you’ve said are all true,
don’t you still have a three point five percent hope?
For this three point five percent,
you have to work hard.
I will help you.

According to Unit 701’s rules,
in the subsequent three months,
everyone has to first undergo physical fitness training.
Following that is professional training.
Today is the first lesson. Free sparring lesson.
Instructor Yang and Instructor Ding will lead everyone in the training.
Welcome, everyone!
Hello everyone! Firstly, today I will teach everyone the shoulder throw,
also known as Seoi Nage.
It is a wrestling technique,
also a high level Judo technique.
Next, we will demonstrate it for you.
Ready!
One!
Two!
Pay attention to where you apply your force.
Do not use brute force.
Angle is the key.
Pay attention to the angle. Three!
Next, we will start the training. Attention!
Left, right, turn!
Wrestling, ready!
Start!
Report, instructor!
- Can I not be in a group with her?- Why?
My teacher’s wife said that I cannot hit a woman.
It's ok, this is just a training.
Cooperate with one another, you won’t get hurt.
But she… I’m scared.
Stop!
Rong Jinzhen, are you all right?
- What happened?- Sorry.
Did I exert too much force?
Rong Jinzhen.
Rong Jinzhen!
Hurry, call the doctor.
Zheng Dang, your leg injury must have been transferred to your brain.
What kind of person did you recruit?
Crying after a fall. He is still a man?
Now, the whole Unit 701 knows about it.
Is this a special training class? I see that it’s becoming like a kindergarten.
This child is frail.
It’s very normal that he can’t get used to the training at the start.
I believe that with you training him rigorously,
he will soon be able to grow up.
Sure.
Subsequently, the training will get tougher and tougher.
There will be time for him to cry.
