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

Lin Beichen was still racing against time to participate in disaster relief, and his name had already spread throughout the area. However, Chen Bin, still worried, came to him with orders.

“Brother, if it were before, I would have just given you the order, but what do you think we should do this time? Take a look at this order first.”

Lin Beichen remained calm after reading the order.

"Look at the time, there's still a month left. Our rescue efforts here will be over in a week at most. And I believe that more comrades will definitely come to help. What are you afraid of?"

"It's not that I'm afraid! You know about what happened before. The people they sent have already gone back, and we've been making final preparations. Our team has been in second place in the team competition for several years in a row. We can't keep doing this forever."

Chen Bin knew very well that because he had finished second in the team competition for several consecutive years, he had never been able to hold his head high in front of his superiors.

“If things continue like this, I might be transferred out of this department, and you know what that means.”

"It's nothing, don't worry, leave this to me, I can definitely handle it."

Lin Beichen wasn't worried about the consequences of this matter; the important thing was to get what needed to be done done.

"As long as you know what you're doing, there won't be any problems."

Lin Beichen understood that this was a very serious problem, but they absolutely could not leave until the other troops arrived.

The local commander was extremely anxious and demanded through various channels that the army arrive as quickly as possible to provide support.

"I don't care what obstacles you're encountering, but I'll say it again: our special forces have been working continuously inside for a long time without any rest. If this continues, the consequences will be unimaginable. You troops were supposed to be here to relieve them, and it's been days already?"

The rugged mountain roads and various obstacles made it impossible for the troops to advance quickly.

“I don’t care what difficulties you encounter, this is a strict order. Everyone must be on site by tomorrow afternoon, no matter what method you use.”

These people had no choice but to leave the large equipment where it was and then send many troops to advance on foot across the country.

Starting in the afternoon, the situation changed as many people arrived at the scene, becoming the support force for the rescue.

"You must be Lin Beichen? We just arrived here. From now on, I'll take over the situation here. You should go back and prepare your things."

Lin Beichen could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Alright, let me explain the situation here to you."

Back in his tent, he immediately looked up information about the International Special Forces School, where he was leading a team.

"It seems my mission this time is to be an instructor."

That's indeed the case. This time, the team is led by instructors, but the instructors will not be present at the competition; instead, they will participate as coaching officers.

He suddenly realized that instructors from various countries would be gathering together to form a large coaching team, and would also serve as judges for the competition.

I remember visiting this place when I was a team member, and the feeling is still unforgettable.

Now, he was facing the instructor who had once been extremely strict with him, but their roles had changed, and he didn't know how to bring it up.

"Fine, whatever, let's give it a try."

The next day, with the arrival of more support, he finally led all the personnel of the Seventh District to evacuate the disaster relief site.

After returning to the military camp, everyone only rested for a day or two before being summoned together again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something important to announce now!"

Everyone stood still, waiting for further news.

"Our superiors have assigned us an extremely important task. The International Special Forces School is about to recruit a new batch of students and will be hosting a global special forces competition here."

Everyone was thrilled upon hearing the news. This was a showdown between special forces, a true "Olympics."

"The competition includes individual and team events, but the final ranking is mainly based on points. Our team has been in second place for many years, so I hope everyone can bring their best. The competition starts in a month, and we will arrive at the venue a week in advance, so we only have three weeks to prepare."

Lin Beichen looked around at everyone.

"understand!"

At this moment, He Shuixing also arrived.

"you are back?"

"Yes, it's been so long, how can I stay away from taking office forever? But you've done a great job leading everyone during this time."

"Haha! Let's not flatter each other. This time, it was a direct order from my superiors to lead a team to participate in the competition."

As everyone knows, according to regulations, the highest-ranking instructors directly select the personnel and then form the final teams.

"My idea is that during these three weeks, our entire region will train together, completely according to the competition format."

These words shocked everyone.

He Shuixing was also quite surprised.

"Logically, a team should be selected first, and then they can participate in the competition. How can you expect to train for three weeks in this way?"

"Actually, this is a large-scale elimination tournament. As you all know, if you want to participate in the Olympics, you usually have to go through qualifying rounds, right? Because our country is a big country and our military is strong, we can directly qualify without going through qualifying rounds. But you are different. You are all elites of the entire army, and new people join every year. However, for me, I don't look at past achievements; I only look at your current strength."

Lin Beichen's words greatly surprised everyone present.

"You mean, we should hold a large-scale qualifying tournament, and then let the winning team directly represent us in the competition?"

"That's right!"

Lin Beichen smiled.

"We're all in District Seven, and although we're in different teams, I believe you can all stand out. Even if it's a temporary team, don't worry. Besides, I already have a plan for this team selection. There are two different scoring systems, one of which is the selection of team members!"

Lin Beichen then explained the competition rules.

"I need eight different team members, and I also need to select a captain and a vice-captain. There will be different weighting ratios for the analysis, and I will ultimately decide who gets selected."

"Yes!"

The entire room erupted in cheers. Everyone was eager to be selected; they all knew that it would be fantastic to be chosen.

However, He Shuixing still had some doubts.

"Is this the right thing to do? If we do this, won't everyone become more reckless in the future?"

"Instructor He, I know you're the most senior here. But there's something you might have forgotten: what are the requirements for us special forces soldiers? Isn't it to become the strongest?"

Lin Beichen's question made Instructor He suddenly realize the truth.

"So this time, I'm going to assemble the strongest team. These people have been in District Seven for so long, so what if they have some conflicts with each other? As long as they can win honor for the country, that's all that matters."

Lin Beichen has made full preparations, and this project is very simple; the first thing to do is large-scale training.

The next morning, everyone gathered at the training ground.

"Alright! Today's assessment consists of only one thing: push-ups. I don't care how long it takes you or how many you do. From the moment I say it, you just keep doing push-ups until the last person stops. That will be your ranking."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, and with a command given, the push-up test officially began. This was the largest push-up test ever held in District Seven.

Lin Beichen sat to the side, deliberately sipping his tea slowly.

He Shuixing watched with her heart pounding.

"My God, do they really have to use such a cruel method for selection? Won't this exhaust those soldiers?"

"That's normal. Everyone can do push-ups. Just wait and see. Let's focus on our own things and not worry about them. After all, this is a competition."

Although a medical team was on standby at the scene, everyone knew that for these soldiers, honor was above all else.

After a while, surprisingly a few people were still persisting, and they were clearly competing with each other.

"See these guys? They have a lot of drive, just the kind of talent I need. Who are they? Write their names down quickly."

He Shuixing looked at them and felt a little uneasy, because one of them hadn't participated in the special forces competition for a long time.

"Sigh, this person seems a bit too old. If he goes directly to the special forces academy to compete, he'll probably have a hard time achieving good results."

"So what if I'm older? Are there age restrictions for the competitions over there?"

Lin Beichen didn't care about any of that. In his view, recruiting talents without being bound by convention was the right way.

Nearly an hour later, people finally started to collapse.

Based on the final results, the top ten have been determined.

"Alright, that concludes our strength training this morning. Everyone, get some rest, and we'll prepare for the next assessment this afternoon!"

Actually, people don't agree with this training method, but there's nothing they can do; that's the rule of the selection competition.

"It seems we really need to start from the very basics. No problem, let's see, maybe there's still a chance."

Everyone was mentally prepared.

The selection process has finally officially begun.

The afternoon assessment focused on tactical skills.

"Everyone, today's assessment is very simple. You must pass these obstacles in a real combat situation, understand?"

……

Such a rigorous assessment left everyone feeling miserable. Within a week, they gradually realized that this wasn't an assessment at all; it was a nightmare.

Many people couldn't persevere and chose to quit.

As time goes by, fewer and fewer elites remain.

After a week, only twenty people remained.

"Haha, I knew it. Many people look strong, but they're actually no match for you. It's only been a week, and so many people have already given up. I really don't know how you trash managed to get in here."

Lin Beichen deliberately mocked from the side.

"In my opinion, it's survival of the fittest. I don't care how you performed in your original units, but if you can't even withstand a week of selection trials, what else can you be but cowards?"

In fact, the most important part of this selection process is the psychological test.

Lin Beichen did something unbelievable: he took everyone to a stinking garbage dump and made them take off their clothes and swim in the sewage next to the garbage dump.

The stench of that sewage was unbearable and would be a tremendous challenge for anyone.

They had to stay in the water all afternoon, and didn't have a chance to take a bath until evening.

Many people couldn't bear the pain and withdrew from the competition.

He Shuixing could hardly believe his eyes when he saw this. This was definitely not part of his training syllabus.

But it must be said that those who remain are the elite.

"Gentlemen, do you think one afternoon is enough? Let me tell you, the place you're going to next is even more disgusting than this. You'll be living there for three days."

As he spoke, Lin Beichen led everyone to a stinking ditch next to a garbage dump. The various foul odors mixed together, and coupled with the high summer temperature, everyone understood what this meant.

"Everyone, you only need to live here for three days."

"Three days?"

At the crucial moment, someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Don't you know how to say 'report' before you speak? You've forgotten even this basic rule. How can someone like you continue in the competition? You're eliminated!"

Now, only nineteen people remain.

These people no longer dared to let their guard down.

"You have three days to do whatever you want. I won't require you to do any training. You'll have to take care of your own food, clothing, and supplies, but you can't leave this area. We'll airdrop supplies once a day, but the exact location is uncertain."

Lin Beichen knew very well that if he wanted to put pressure on these people, he had to take such measures; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to do next. It seemed the situation was indeed getting increasingly dire.

He Shuixing couldn't hold back any longer this time.

"Lin Beichen, do you really want us to do it your way? I'm more capable than you, but if we keep going like this, the people will all fall ill before we've even selected anyone," He Shuixing questioned with dissatisfaction.

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

"You can stop this operation, but only if you come up with a selection plan that satisfies me. If you can't, I'd rather give up the competition. At worst, I'll get scolded, or I'll just walk away from here."

Lin Beichen was already confident.

Since he returned to China, many people have tried to poach him.

He just felt his life was too boring and didn't want to get involved in those things. If he hadn't been so bored at home later, he wouldn't have come to this place.

He Shuixing was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by Lin Beichen's words.

Lin Beichen didn't think much of it and went straight back to the monitoring room to continue watching the people struggling to survive in the garbage dump.

The soldiers in the garbage dump were also filled with helplessness. Over three days, the supplies airdropped each time were pitifully small.

At noon, a helicopter finally appeared and airdropped a batch of supplies. The soldiers rushed forward, only to find that there wasn't enough to go around.

"Is this the amount for one day?" someone questioned.

The reply they received was that the supplies were indeed only enough for one day. (End of Chapter)
