Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"Listen to me, it's summer now, so it gets light early. Everyone, take advantage of this time to rest here in shifts. Remember, someone must take turns on guard duty every hour," Lin Beichen said.

"Yes!" the crowd replied.

However, while they were resting, quite a few reckless people inexplicably tried to cross the minefield, and were blown up as a result.

After that, no one dared to cross the road again, and they all waited for the next day.

"Oh ho ho, these people have gotten smarter," the district chief said with a smile, watching the surveillance footage.

Sure enough, the squad leader gradually realized what was happening.

"Listen to me, they'll definitely move in the early hours of tomorrow morning. So, do everything you can to get things in order by then. As soon as they show themselves, give them a good beating," the squad leader ordered.

"Yes, sir!" the special operations team replied.

The special operations team was also very clever; they changed all their deployments overnight.

Sure enough, the next morning, just as they woke up and were about to set off, they heard gunshots.

"Wait!" Lin Beichen immediately realized that something was wrong.

He immediately began searching based on the sound of gunfire.

Now that they have a map, they will be able to quickly grasp the terrain.

“Look at this defense map. If we try to clear this area directly by mines, we’ll likely become easy targets,” Lin Beichen said, pointing to the map.

“However, this minefield isn’t very large. We can go around it, but of course we can’t get too close. I’m sure they’ve made preparations there,” Lin Beichen continued.

"Then what do we do?" one of them asked.

“Take a detour! You need to understand, from now on, if we continue to go straight ahead, we will definitely be surrounded by them. They already knew we would find a shortcut,” Lin Beichen said.

After hearing this, the group of people were all very worried.

“If that’s the case, we’ll have to walk an extra fifty kilometers!” one of them said.

“Yes! But this is the only way to reach the destination. However, we must travel day and night, and we have no time to rest,” Lin Beichen said.

Hiking fifty kilometers instantly doubled the distance.

"I won't force anyone. If you feel it's not right, you can leave this team and continue on your way," Lin Beichen said.

"Brother! From the beginning until now, you've been leading us forward. This time, we trust you too, so let's just move straight ahead."

"Don't rush!" Lin Beichen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

“We are in a dangerous place right now, so follow my instructions. From now on, everyone must crawl through this minefield.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in shock. This was no joke; even if they managed to get through, their clothes would be torn to shreds.

Lin Beichen ignored everyone's surprise. Without a word, he was the first to lie down on the ground and begin to slowly crawl forward. Seeing this, no one could say anything more and could only follow suit.

Gunshots rang out intermittently, but they dared not waste a moment and moved forward as quickly as possible. Gradually, they noticed that the location of the gunshots had changed.

"Looks like we're almost there."

About two hours later, they finally arrived at the designated location, but did not show themselves rashly.

Lin Beichen quickly found a mirror and, using its reflective effect, carefully surveyed his surroundings. Sure enough, a sniper was drawn to the mirror's reflection and fired a shot.

"It's exactly what I expected."

They could only keep moving forward and finally managed to escape the encirclement.

"Alright, we're safe now. Let them be smug there, we need to hurry and get going, this is our only chance."

In the time that followed, they exerted all their strength, moving forward at top speed. They never rested unless absolutely necessary, maintaining a steady running pace throughout.

Only then did they truly realize that this was real trail running, especially with heavy equipment on their backs.

What was supposed to be a 50-kilometer journey turned into a 100-kilometer one because of the detour. Even though they were running at full speed, they knew they couldn't reach their destination immediately.

However, this is a military-controlled area, and the entire area is undergoing exercises, so there's nothing to complain about.

"Look, what is that?"

Lin Beichen looked carefully in the direction his teammate was pointing and spotted a strange military vehicle.

"This car looks like it belongs to a high-ranking official."

It turned out that the leaders of that military region happened to be inspecting the area today. Seeing that the land and water scenery was quite nice, they wanted to get out of the car and learn more about the situation.

"Go!" Lin Beichen didn't care about anything else.

He immediately sprang into action, rushed forward, and "captured" the leader without saying a word.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you do such a thing in front of me!" The leader glared angrily and questioned loudly.

"I'm so sorry, we're conducting an exercise here. We're just a group of instructors preparing to enter the military camp. Since we've devised this strategy, and you've accidentally wandered into the exercise area, we're afraid we'll have to make do with you."

Actually, the leader wasn't angry about this; he just wanted to test them further.

"Young man, you can't be too ruthless in your dealings with others. Aren't you afraid I'll get so angry that I'll kick you out of the army?"

Lin Beichen couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

“This is the exercise area, and everything I did was in accordance with the exercise rules. As everyone knows, anything related to the exercise can be used by us. So, I'm sorry, this vehicle will have to be requisitioned by us temporarily. I will write a self-criticism later.”

After Lin Beichen finished speaking, he immediately drove off, swaggering through the exercise area. Before long, they finally circled around to the back of their destination, and the camp was right in front of them.

Without saying a word, they drove straight into the camp.

"Good leadership!"

It was the same district chief who had been waiting for his leader for a long time. Unexpectedly, it was Lin Beichen's team that got out of the car.

"Why are there only a few of you? Where is the division commander?"

At this point, the division commander was finally taken off the vehicle. He was found bound hand and foot, looking extremely disheveled.

"You lot, just you wait and see, this isn't over! To ensure the success of the exercise, you actually dared to hijack the military region leaders' car, you're incredibly audacious!" The district chief was furious.

Everyone hurriedly untied the division commander, but to their surprise, the division commander burst into laughter.

"Haha! I've been leading troops for decades, and I've actually been caught by a few trainees during an assessment. Looks like my vigilance really wasn't up to par. Don't blame them this time; this is an exercise area, and in this situation, I'll definitely support them. What are your names?"

Since the instructors had said so, no one could say anything more.

Judging from the timing, the four of them did arrive much earlier than expected.

Of course, this assessment also caused heavy losses for other trainees, with less than half actually passing the assessment.

"The results of this assessment are in. According to the rules, the first place..."

Everyone was excited upon hearing the rankings. However, the few hastily assembled team members were unhappy. "Report! I have something to say."

"Say!"

"First place should go to Lin Beichen. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to reach the finish line so quickly! There were some problems with the last assessment, and we have to give him an explanation this time."

At that moment, the division commander walked over.

"It seems you haven't completely tamed them after all. These people are actually demanding an explanation from you. In my opinion, Lin Beichen should indeed win the championship."

"Since the leader has said so, then Lin Beichen will be the first place winner in the third round of assessments."

Everyone was shocked...

Lin Beichen was actually handpicked by that division commander and became the first place winner.

Even the district head standing to the side didn't dare to say a word. Since that's the case, why not just start the fourth round of assessments directly?

However, the news quickly spread among all the soldiers in the Seventh District. Under the watchful eyes of many disgruntled individuals, Lin Beichen and his comrades began to have their own doubts.

If this person really becomes their superior, he will definitely be a tough guy.

"I am now officially announcing the fourth assessment task. Currently, we only have these ten people left. Next, you need to find a target; the mission scenario is urban warfare."

City?

Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen couldn't help but feel a little worried. He considered himself quite experienced in jungle warfare or other types of missions, but in an urban environment, things might be different.

"You will rest here for the next two days. I will provide you with some intelligence for you to analyze. The day after tomorrow, a car will take you directly to the designated location, and after that, you will be on your own."

There were no other additional rules for this assessment, so it seems that everyone can act individually or choose to work together.

In the break room, people weren't as united as expected; everyone was pursuing their own agendas.

At this moment, the district chief walked in and distributed the intelligence to everyone.

Lin Beichen began to analyze it carefully.

"The mission is to rescue someone, but all we have right now is text information, not even a single picture. What's going on?"

It turns out that this mission wasn't complicated. First, they had to infiltrate the city through various means, then find the contact person, whose address was written in the intelligence.

Now everything is clear.

The same few team members sat down next to Lin Beichen.

"Brother Lin, what do you think we should do about this?"

Lin Beichen thought about it carefully for a while.

Actually, this is not difficult at all.

Since such task instructions have been given, it means everything has been arranged. Why not take this opportunity to give it a try?

“Listen to me, infiltrating this city isn’t difficult at all. Didn’t this mission say we could enter the city by any means? So, we can use our social connections, that’s the first method. Also, once we find a relatively secluded bar, we can find its exact coordinates on a computer.”

Upon hearing this, the team members immediately began to prepare. Unexpectedly, the group of people nearby also gathered around.

"Brother Lin, can we come along this time? Besides, you saw it yourself, the intelligence didn't say we couldn't team up."

It turned out that after the third round of assessments, everyone discovered that Lin Beichen was indeed a tactical genius, and that he could provide assistance to everyone in various aspects.

"You all want to pass and go straight to the final assessment, right?"

"That's right!"

Everyone nodded to each other.

"That's no problem. Let's sit down and have a good talk today. As you all know, there are ways we can meet in this city. I'll give you some coordinates."

As he spoke, he drew a dot on the city map.

“This is a drive-in bar, owned by my brother. I’ll contact him right away and tell him to get ready to meet us there.”

Everyone nodded and listened attentively.

“Starting the day after tomorrow, there will definitely be various checks, so we must go in by disguising ourselves.”

That made it clear to everyone.

The key is to find a more suitable opportunity, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"What I mean is, if all ten of us go in together, we'll be too conspicuous. It's best to break up into smaller groups and focus on that bar."

In this situation, they also need to prepare various convenient conditions.

"Besides, all of us have handled guns before. If those soldiers are on high alert, they can easily spot us. It won't be that easy."

Lin Beichen looked at everyone with a serious expression.

“You are all top-notch talents. I think entering a city and operating under the noses of those soldiers shouldn’t be a problem, right? If you can’t even do that, I don’t think you need to strive for the qualification of special forces instructors, right?”

Everyone nodded.

"Alright! I'll do one thing for the next two days: eat, sleep, and then think carefully about how to disguise myself and get into the city."

Sure enough, everyone has been studying it seriously these past two days.

The final decision was that some people would act alone, while others would form teams, but each team could not have more than three people.

The day of departure finally arrived.

The district head walked up to everyone.

"Judging from your confident demeanor, you're quite capable. But don't worry, our city is fully prepared for thorough checks. Getting in won't be easy for you. It all depends on your own abilities."

"Yes!"

These people were already mentally prepared and were all full of confidence.

Lin Beichen continued to lead his team. Although the number of people exceeded the limit of three, they had worked together well before and had a certain foundation of understanding.

"Let's do it!"

After some discussion and planning, they finally arrived at the designated location.

This place is desolate, without any facilities, and surrounded by wilderness. Getting into the city would be extremely difficult.

"set off!"

With a command given, the group left the desolate area. It was the middle of the night, and the city was under martial law, with police guarding all the entrances.

In this assessment, anyone caught will be immediately eliminated. (End of Chapter)
