Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 108: Choosing Three Out of Four – Who Will Go? (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

During the last mountain combat exercise, the meticulously crafted Blue Army was defeated by the Steel Seventh Company, which made Qi Huan feel that things were very unusual.

However, it hadn't exceeded his limit, and he was still able to barely convince himself.

Although the Blue Army is the latest type of combined arms battalion model, capable of handling integrated air-ground operations at the battalion level, its combat effectiveness mainly comes from the enhancement of information technology.

In fact, there is not much difference between the individual combat capabilities of soldiers and those of grassroots reconnaissance companies.

But Team A is different.

The A Brigade is a modern special forces unit built with the support of the General Staff and the 84th Group Army under the new generation of military reforms.

The main focus is on elite tactical squads, specifically designed to strike enemy strategic units.

The requirements for each of the senior members are extremely high.

Therefore, those selected from among thousands in the entire army and who have received the most rigorous training in the A-team are all elite soldiers.

Three elite soldiers and seven reconnaissance battalions, facing a group of weaklings who had been tortured for two days, failed to hold a single position.

The most terrifying thing was that one person wiped out 10 Blue Team members.

Three of them were veteran soldiers!

How can anyone understand this?

Yuan Lang thought he was resilient enough and had seen all sorts of storms, but today he still couldn't hold back and exploded.

"How did he do that?"

Yuan Lang didn't need to guess to know who did it. Among all the contestants, if possible, only one person could have done it.

Even if he knew who it was, he still couldn't understand it.

"Captain, this guy is really weird. If I could, I'd love to crack open his head and see what kind of monster is inside."

Qi Huan knew who it was because the attacker had clearly stated in the phone call that he was nearly two meters tall and had an exceptionally frighteningly strong build.

This physique is so unique that there's only one like it in the entire army.

Like Yuan Lang, he couldn't understand it either.

"They've already attacked the main position and withdrawn, so they must have obtained the map. Judging by the timeline, they'll arrive before us."

Yuan Lang urged impatiently, "Drive faster, I need to find him and ask him how he did it."

The driver, also an experienced driver, was shocked and curious when he heard that his three brothers had been defeated by a single competitor without even a chance to fight back.

Now that Yuan Lang had given the order to speed up, he immediately went all out and went all out.

They started racing right across the grassland!

After more than an hour of rushing, Yuan Lang's convoy finally spotted the evacuation point, outside a pine forest behind a mountain.

Yuan Lang saw the four people standing by the roadside outside the pine forest from a great distance.

Jackie Chan stands out among them.

"They arrived before us, it seems we miscalculated this time."

The fact that the contestant arrived faster than the decision-maker proves that the decision-maker did not have control over the overall situation and could not even control the timing.

This made Yuan Lang feel somewhat embarrassed.

No, I don't think so.

Qi Huan objected, saying, "The closest other competitors are still more than 8 kilometers away, and it will take them more than an hour to get there."

This proves that it wasn't that our strategy was flawed, but rather that the four of them were completely different from the other players, far ahead of everyone else.

If we raise the bar any further, then there's no point in having any other participants; they simply can't finish it.

The selection rules were not something Yuan Lang came up with arbitrarily; rather, people were specially dispatched to conduct a mock assessment on-site before the selection process began.

The difficulty level was appropriately reduced and adjusted based on the results achieved by the veteran team members, and this was the final version.

The standard is already the limit for ordinary soldiers!

If it weren't for that person who caused trouble, the contestants would have arrived not only two or three hours early, but even those who arrived 20 minutes early would have been considered the elite of the elite.

"Qi Huan, what you say is both right and wrong."

Yuan Lang smiled and shook his head, staring at the group of four who were getting closer and closer, and said, "It's not that the four of them are too different, it's just that one of them is too outstanding. He brought them up by his own strength."

"It seems that's really the case."

Qi Huan shook his head helplessly and said, "Jackie Chan is ridiculously strong, to a freakish degree, the kind of freakishness that I can't understand."

"If we had known it would turn out like this, we shouldn't have let him participate in the selection. We should have just given him a spot in the elite A team, and things wouldn't be in this mess now."

Although Qi Huan didn't want to admit it, he did have some respect for Jackie Chan.

"It's fine to let him in. The selection and assessment are not just about personal military skills, but also about other things that are more important than military skills."

Yuan Lang smirked wickedly and said, "There are only three spots for Old A, and they have four people. I'm curious to see what they'll do."

Upon hearing Yuan Lang's words, Qi Huan immediately shook off his dejection and became interested.

The frustration caused by Jackie Chan's actions seemed to have found a way to get revenge, and he said expectantly, "I remember they were all from the old Seventh Company, and their company's motto was never to abandon or give up."

Now there are four people competing for three spots in the "Old A" category. Which one will they eliminate? Who will they abandon? I'm curious too.

Qi Huan's perverse sense of humor was aroused, and Yuan Lang's playful nature was also fully unleashed.

He specifically instructed the driver: "Don't drive over there. Stop 10 meters away from them, play a little game, and give them a chance to choose."

The driver knew a lot.

Following Yuan Lang's instructions, park the car 10 meters away.

Ten meters is neither a long nor a short distance, but it is the most challenging distance to walk.

Yuan Lang opened the car door and got out. He walked to the car, beckoned to Jackie Chan and the other three, and called out, "Come on, what are you waiting for? Get in the car and you can come with me. By the way, there are only three seats in the car."

That's truly killing someone by destroying their spirit.

Yuan Lang deliberately mentioned that there were only three spots, precisely to find the most uncomfortable point for Jackie Chan and the other three, to bring the matter to light, and to force them to face it.

Jackie Chan and the other three understood perfectly well.

From the moment they stood here waiting for the bus, whether it was the shrewd Cheng Cai, the stubborn Wu Liu Yi, or the slow-witted Xu Dai Zi, they all changed.

They all knew perfectly well that of the four people who came here, only three would be able to leave in the end.

So who will be eliminated?

This is a problem!

Jackie Chan and the other three waited there for more than half an hour. This question was like a mountain weighing heavily on their minds, and each of them was thinking about it.

After thinking for half an hour, everyone had their own answer.

Yuan Lang deliberately brought the matter to light and beckoned Jackie Chan and the other three over. Xu Sanduo, Wu Liuyi, and Jackie Chan did not move, preparing to lay things out and discuss them.

Let's resolve this thorny issue in the fairest and most amicable way possible.

Cheng Cai had already figured out what to do, and he never thought of sitting down to discuss it.

Just as Yuan Lang beckoned and spoke, Cheng Cai gritted his teeth and made a snap decision, abandoning Cheng Long and the other two, and charged toward the Cheetah SUV that represented the advancement.

While rushing around, he shouted loudly, "The car is here! Old A's spot is here! What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

"Chengcai, what are you doing? Come back quickly!" Wu Liuyi shouted anxiously at Chengcai.

Xu Sanduo also shouted blankly, "Chengcai, don't rush. There are four of us. We need to agree on this before we go over."

Only Jackie Chan remained silent, because he saw through Cheng Cai at a glance.

He's just trying to be clever.

After leaving the Steel Seventh Company and joining the Red Third Company, Cheng Cai was rejected by the entire Red Third Company, which made him regret his decision.

My personality has indeed changed significantly because of this setback.

However, only the surface has changed; Cheng Cai's selfish and egoistic nature has never changed.

This moment exposed it once again.

Just like when he left the Steel Seventh Company, Cheng Cai didn't want to gamble. Even if the probability of success was 99%, he only wanted absolute 100%.

If he stayed to discuss the matter with Jackie Chan and the other two, his chances of being eliminated would be as high as 25%.

This is something he absolutely cannot accept!

So Cheng Cai chose to play a trick, pretending not to know that one of them was going to be eliminated, and even ignoring Yuan Lang's reminder.

Pretending to be confused and knowing nothing, he was the first to rush towards the car.

Even though Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi were behind him, and Cheng Cai could hear everything clearly, he still didn't stop, playing the trick of delaying his brain.

After rushing over and crashing into the car to a stop, he turned around and said with a sudden realization, "Huh? Four people? I was too excited and forgot. What do we do now? Should I... should I come back again?"

Cheng Cai said he was going back, but his feet were rooted to the spot and he stood there motionless, his eyes constantly glancing at Yuan Lang.

He wanted Yuan Lang to announce that he had been selected, so that he would have an excuse not to go back.

Yuan Lang ignored his gaze and said with a playful tone, "You've found a smart one among you. Now there are only two spots left, so you have three people. Would you like two more smart people to join?"

Yuan Lang's words were full of sarcasm, and even Cheng Cai, who was so thick-skinned, couldn't take it anymore. He lowered his head and dared not look at Jackie Chan anymore.

I feel guilty, though.

Cheng Cai does not regret his decision.

He could no longer stay in the Third Company. To escape his current predicament, he had to move to a better and stronger place.

When it comes to changing jobs, you should definitely aim for the best possible outcome.

And Old A is the perfect choice.

Therefore, no matter the cost, Cheng Cai was determined to join the elite unit, even if it meant being looked down upon.

He believed that once he succeeded, all the country's mistakes would be forgotten, and he would only receive applause, not flowers.

"Chengcai, you..."

Wu Liuyi realized that Cheng Cai was playing a trick. He pointed at Cheng Cai and wanted to give him a good scolding, but then he remembered that Cheng Cai was this kind of person, and his recruit company already knew about it, so he felt there was no need to scold him.

It's a complete waste of breath!

Xu Sanduo didn't say anything more, but just looked at Cheng Cai with a sidelong glance, staring at him like that, and for the first time, he felt angry.

Seeing that Jackie Chan and the other two remained silent for a while, Yuan Lang, with a mischievous grin, deliberately said, "How about I give you an idea? Eliminate that big guy; he doesn't look like a good person."

"No, I don't want him to leave."

Xu Sanduo immediately objected, saying with some reluctance but also determination, "I'm so stupid, there's no point in me going to the Old A. Why don't you two go instead?"

"Huh? There are idiots like that?"

When Yuan Lang saw that Xu Sanduo had actually withdrawn on his own initiative, he became somewhat interested in this short and thin little guy for the first time.
