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

He immediately pressed the button, and suddenly, the mannequins floating in the air appeared in an extremely terrifying way, accompanied by the sound of a girl crying.

"I remember I asked you to bring searchlights, didn't I?"

Yu Feng glanced at the soldiers behind him.

"Bring it!"

"Now, turn on all the spotlights and keep them on throughout the entire haunted house!"

"Yes!"

As a result, once the searchlights were turned on, the entire haunted house instantly lost its mysterious and terrifying atmosphere.

"Haha! How about that? Our team is awesome, right? You were trying to scare us by creating an atmosphere, but they just used a searchlight to break through your defenses."

These people were speechless after seeing the scene before them.

"So it was all a trap, and they wanted to scare us under the cover of darkness, right?"

One of the soldiers was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

"Everyone, don't let your guard down. We still need to get out of here. I remember there are no checkpoints here. As long as we can get out of the haunted house successfully, we'll have succeeded."

Chen Lin led everyone out of the haunted house while maintaining their formation, and even got a perfect score because there were no screams throughout the entire process.

Clearly, the chief referee felt his intelligence had been insulted.

"What kind of competition is this? Is this even possible?"

Yu Feng has always thought in reverse. In his mind, the so-called terrifying atmosphere is just something people imagine when they can't see it. So why not let everyone see it for themselves?

That's why, when they were choosing equipment, they picked up a searchlight that nobody wanted.

"Alright! Now there's no need to worry. Let's turn off the lights. Who knows what might happen in this jungle?"

However, once you get past this hurdle, the tasks ahead become much easier.

The next day was another sunny morning. They made the most of their time and continued on their way, successfully completing all their subjects within a single day.

"How about it?"

Lin Beichen's lips curled up, revealing a smile.

"I think my team deserved to win the championship this time. And as you all know, the instructors have no way to contact their teams right now."

Francis looked dejected and utterly defeated at the sight. This was the last day; all they had to do was stay here.

Chen Lin led the team to the exit and then told everyone to stop.

"Alright! Listen up, everyone. You're free to move around here now, but no one is allowed to cross that line. That's the first rule. Also, I hope you're all mentally prepared for the new challenges ahead. I believe that after today's rest, the third round of the competition will begin. So find a place to lean on and get some rest."

The day in the jungle was incredibly boring, but the entire team remained in a constant state of danger.

Chen Lin, in particular, knew very well that anything could happen as long as the competition wasn't over. Even the head referees might be unhappy that they had completed their tasks ahead of schedule, and thus put unexpected pressure on them.

However, they were overthinking things this time. The chief referee never expected that a team would complete the task so far ahead of schedule.

"Mr. Francis, I don't think your team will get first place this round."

Francis looked helpless. He hadn't expected to be outmaneuvered this time. It seemed this place was indeed full of hidden talents.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone left the base.

After regrouping, they discovered that some teams were missing.

"Let me explain the situation to everyone. From now on, teams that fail to complete the task will be considered eliminated. The referees of these teams will also automatically lose their qualifications and leave this sacred school."

Clearly, this incident has had a huge impact.

"Let me give my comments. This time, China still comes in first place. They have completed the challenges time and time again with their superb skills. I believe that in the end, they will definitely achieve even better results."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Francis.

“Francis, your team is actually very strong. But you made a mistake based on past experience, always thinking that you could win the championship with your usual tactics, without knowing your enemy and yourself, which allowed them to take advantage of your weaknesses. I believe you will definitely find a way to make up for this lesson, right?”

The two teams were locked in a fierce competition at this moment.

The opposing team's captain is Hills.

"Chen Lin, I know you might feel like you've earned my respect, but let me tell you, it's not that easy. Our two teams haven't decided a winner yet, there are still several rounds to go. Don't think you can win every time."

Chen Lin smiled.

"Captain Hills, I've heard a lot about you. But this time I want you to understand that true strength isn't measured by battle records."

After saying that, Chen Lin led her team away gracefully.

Lin Beichen came to everyone again, bringing a lot of food with him.

"I think that even though we're still in the middle of the competition, everyone should have a good meal. The Special Forces School will give you two days off, and then we'll start the next combat exercise, which will be very close to real combat."

Both matches ended in victory for China, and the chief referee began to worry. If the competition turned into an exhibition match for them, it would lose its meaning.

However, some countries that had an advantage withdrew from the competition for various reasons, resulting in a shortage of competition events.

“Mr. Victor, you’re also a referee in this competition. What’s your opinion on this issue? We’ve now moved on to the next step.”

"I'm fine here. Actually, what I'm most looking forward to is a competitive match. I love those exhilarating battles."

Victor has always preferred simplicity and directness. To him, those so-called tasks are like children playing house, making him feel neither interested nor comfortable.

"This is a real, live-fire contest, and the last one. I called everyone here to tell you that our main target this time is those terrorists down below."

Victor smiled.

"The problem is that many teams have already been eliminated."

"They're just eliminated, but they're not leaving immediately. To put it another way, while they don't have to complete these subjects anymore, they'll participate in the upcoming battles. In other words, if they perform bravely in battle, they can get a lot of extra points."

This is the real strategy: even if they don't get those points, if they can demonstrate their value in the heat of battle, they can still surpass other teams.

Victor fell silent.

However, the next round of the competition is also fraught with danger.

Two days later, the chief referee gathered everyone together. "Referees," he said, "I'd like to hear your thoughts. In the next round, we'll be dealing with various types of bombs. My plan is to set a three-day time limit. Whoever defuses the most bombs during this period will win, and we'll also rank them according to their performance. What do you all think?"

Defusing a bomb?
Everyone was shocked to hear this.

"Excuse me, are these bombs real or fake?" someone asked.

“Since it’s a real battle, then of course it’s real!” the chief referee replied.

These words instilled fear in everyone. To defuse so many bombs, all real, within three days—a single mistake could mean certain death.

I'm here to participate in special forces training, not to die.

Lin Beichen also disagreed. According to standard training, dummy bombs are usually used, meaning a timer is set, and if the bomb isn't defused by the deadline, the entire team is eliminated.

The situation changed; for the first time, the chief referee discovered that all the referees from various countries opposed his proposal.

"Alright then, this project will still be about defusing bombs, but using the fake kind you've been talking about," the chief referee compromised.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have a question, is this still wilderness survival training?" someone asked again.

“Yes! But this time I plan to be a little more lenient with everyone. As long as you defuse as many bombs as possible, you can find food nearby. I also know that people can only do good things if they concentrate, so food and water must be provided in abundance,” the chief referee explained.

The representatives from various countries were relieved to hear this, as it was exactly the result they had hoped for, and they no longer needed to worry about any potential problems.

"That's great, let's do it that way, haha."

So everyone started preparing, knowing that this was a good opportunity to promote their country.

Lin Beichen walked up to the crowd again and looked at the people who were ready.

"How are you? Do you all feel confident? Let me tell you, we are about to face a new task."

Lin Beichen first looked at his own team.

"Is it going to be another three days of training?" someone asked.

“Yes! The objective this time is very clear: defuse bombs. And you will encounter all sorts of bombs, do you understand what I mean?” Lin Beichen said.

Chen Lin laughed as soon as she heard that.

Their team has a bomb genius who can both build and dismantle bombs; basically, with him around, there's nothing to worry about.

"However, I want to tell you all that time is the most important thing. Once you get there, you need to find and defuse as many bombs as possible. I also heard that there are some landmines there, which will affect your speed, but these landmines will not count towards your score," Lin Beichen added.

"It's alright!" Chen Lin said with a smile.

“We are all battle-hardened warriors, and I believe that we can handle any underhanded tactics.”

In terms of professional skills, they have never lost to any team.

After everyone had made their preparations, they set off again at the same time. At this point, they discovered that the bombs in front of them were indeed terrifying and outrageous.

In this situation, there is not much space between the teams, and they are not allowed to communicate or cooperate with each other.

The chief referee smiled to himself.

"I showed everyone the other side's progress to make them understand that this mission is very urgent. I also wanted to see how mentally these special forces soldiers are, haha."

It turns out he had prepared for this long time, wanting to make everyone understand the significance of this operation through this method.

It seems a new battle mode is about to emerge. However, what's unexpected is that Chen Lin's team has once again performed exceptionally well.

"That's incredibly fast!"

Their strategy was simple: once a bomb was spotted, some people were responsible for defusing it, some for guarding the area, some for clearing mines, and others for scouting and finding the bomb. The division of labor was very clear.

In their area, they conducted a thorough search in this way, not only defusing all the bombs but also clearing the mines underground.

Looking at the other teams, although they were also exploring and making progress, they spent a lot of time clearing mines.

Even Francis's team failed to advance immediately.

Francis's face darkened once again.

"How is this going?"

As the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times. To be proven wrong in the first three rounds is simply unacceptable.

"Mr. Francis, are you still planning to continue competing with me, defending champion?" Lin Beichen calmly walked up to him.

“Don’t get cocky, this is just a tactical exercise. When it comes to real combat, we’ll be much stronger than you,” Francis retorted defiantly.

"Oh? Really? That's a big question. I've been pondering something: back then, who exactly was it that our army routed and utterly humiliated?"...

Lin Beichen knew that Francis had always looked down on his team and his country, so in this competition, he was determined to make Francis lose face time and time again.

"Oh, I remember now! Back then, you kept claiming to be the number one military power, and you even brought a huge army to that peninsula to challenge us. And what happened? You were utterly defeated by our valiant army, and in the end, you obediently signed that so-called agreement, right?"

"you……"

Francis was so angry that he really wanted to rush up and beat Lin Beichen up.

"Want to fight? I'm ready anytime! I remember we fought back in Dingxi District, and you know perfectly well how it ended."

Francis was speechless; he was indeed no match for Lin Beichen.

"Are you two ever going to stop?"

The head referee, listening from the side, shook his head, somewhat speechless.

"All of you, sit still and watch your teams continue completing the mission. All you do all day is bicker, it never ends!"

However, things took an unexpected turn. In the short time they were talking, Lin Beichen's team had already taken a commanding lead, leaving the other teams far behind, practically invisible.

Yu Feng opened the map and looked at it, exclaiming in surprise, "Wow, it seems we've already covered half the distance in just one morning!"

Moreover, this situation is quite special because there are food supplies in every place, so everyone can replenish their energy at any time according to their needs.

As a result, these people ate as they walked, and each one ate until they were full, without feeling hungry at all. This feeling was much more comfortable than being in the military camp.

Chen Lin also looked helpless: "The instructor who designed this mission is a genius. He probably didn't expect our combat strength to be so high." (End of this chapter)
