Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 163 The Real Limit of Difficulty! (Please Subscribe)

With a skeptical attitude, Wu Zhe quickly looked around the room after finishing his report.

But they found that the 5-meter by 5-meter room was completely empty, without even a chair, as clean as a newly built, unfinished house.

Only in the very center of the venue was a half-meter square frame drawn with a yellow line.

About half a meter directly above this frame, a cylindrical figure resembling a bucket is suspended, covered by what appears to be a thick black cloth.

Wu Zhe knew the rules of the S·T course and could roughly guess the purpose of the cover.

"The testing rules have already been explained outside, so I won't repeat them here. Go to the waiting area and get ready to submit your report."

Jackie Chan, holding a folder with scoring data, gave Wu Zhe the instruction to begin.

"yes!"

After replying, Wu Zhe walked towards the waiting area in the middle.

A member of the preparatory team manually lowered the black hood hanging directly above the waiting area and covered Wu Zhe's head.

The speakers inside the hood started playing music, completely depriving Wu Zhe of his hearing and sight.

The S·T course has a very special training method, which mainly trains trainees on how to respond and handle various simulated crisis scenarios.

And there is no single correct way to handle it.

Everyone should handle the crisis in their own way.

The black mask is made of a soft material, and the lower edge has a very high degree of contact with the body, so you can't see the ground when you look down. It also has a very strong light-blocking effect.

It was pitch black in front of me, I couldn't see outside, and there was a noisy commotion around me, but I couldn't hear anything outside.

This is after the hood was removed.

Wu Zhe's most direct feeling.

The standard starting mode for the S·T course is designed to prevent members of the Ace of Spades from even being able to see information, let alone guess any usable information, during the test.

What we need is the ability to handle unexpected events when there is zero information from the outside world.

Even though the speaker inside the mask was playing music, Wu Zhe could still faintly hear the sound of objects rubbing together and feel the ground vibrating, even after his head was completely covered by a black hood.

Wu Zhe knew that the scene setup had already begun, and his challenge would begin when the hood was removed.

The trainees could not leave the waiting area before the hood was removed; that was a training rule of the course. So Wu Zhe stood there without doing anything.

Various voices continue to emerge.

Wu Zhe couldn't judge what the scene outside was like or what kind of test awaited him based on this faint sound.

not to mention.

Based on Wu Zhe's understanding of Jackie Chan over the years, Jackie Chan never plays cards in the conventional way.

He strongly suspects that some of the voices he heard were deliberately fabricated by Jackie Chan to mislead him through interference.

Therefore, Wu Zhe felt that there was no point in guessing beforehand during the scenario setup phase.

It's better to remain calm and collected, maintaining absolute focus and mental state so that you can react immediately.

Just as the S&T course itself is meant to test trainees' combat skills, mental control, reaction speed, and ability to make correct decisions under pressure and in the face of unexpected events.

Second by second passed.

The noise in the room gradually disappeared until the entire room became completely quiet again, and even the music from the headgear stopped.

Wu Zhe could even hear his own breathing and his heart pounding with tension.

"Preparation is complete, shall we begin?"

As Wu Zhe imagined his hood being hoisted up, a mix of excitement and nervousness welled up inside him, and his muscles tensed, ready to strike at any moment.

But the headgear remained completely still.

This was Jackie Chan's deliberate act.

The human body has many hidden points. If the mind is in a small, dark space for a long time, the longer it is, the more distracted the attention will become.

The situation is even more serious when standing.

The invisible pressure exerted by the outside world can cause intense anxiety and oppression in the brain, leading to claustrophobia.

It is very difficult to actively control and eliminate it.

Even though Wu Zhe was known for his composure, he couldn't help but feel mentally disoriented.

Finally, Wu Zhe's head started to spin, and he didn't even know how long he had been inside the hood. His center of gravity began to gradually slip out of control.

The uncontrollable movement between the feet caused the body to sway from side to side, as if the person were drunk.

This is the prelude to a complete breakdown of concentration.

"What on earth is going on? Why hasn't it moved for so long? Are they just going to stand there like that? Damn it... calm down, calm down."

Wu Zhe tried his best to suppress his impatience and irritability, and to alleviate his increasingly out-of-control anxiety.

Even in this situation...

Wu Zhe also kept his eyes open, so that he could collect external information as soon as the hood was lifted.

Wait and wait.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Wu Zhe almost forgot about time, and even forgot that he was being assessed.

Swah——

The black hood was suddenly pulled up.

A high-powered spotlight was turned on diagonally above, its bright beam precisely enveloping Wu Zhe.

Because I had been in the dark for too long, my eyes had adjusted to night vision.

Suddenly seeing bright lights again, the glaring light shone into Wu Zhe's wide eyes, several times more uncomfortable than seeing dog headlights at night.

It felt like he'd been hit by a flashbang.

The world before my eyes turned into a white expanse, and I could see nothing at all.

This is a physiological reaction that occurs when the eyes, which have been in darkness for a long time, are suddenly exposed to a bright light.

Ming Shunying!

Wu Zhe's eyes were sore and swollen with a stinging pain, so he couldn't help but close them.

But Wu Zhe's inner reason urged him to open his eyes quickly, as he was in a dangerous situation, or the consequences would be dire.

Under the pressure of inner fear and tension, Wu Zhe could only force himself to open his eyes.

He knew that in real combat, every extra second spent with his eyes closed increased the chance of being riddled with bullets by terrorists.

Every second you take to adapt to your environment and regain your vision of the scene increases your safety by one point.

Only by enduring what ordinary people cannot endure can one surpass ordinary people.

Wu Zhe took a full five seconds to force his eyes open and look, and amidst the stinging pain that brought tears to his eyes, he finally achieved success.

The white world began to blur, and then gradually became hazy and indistinct.

Wu Zhe was finally able to vaguely observe the drastically changed Killing House room.

The interior has been transformed into a living room.

There was a sofa set directly in front of them, and a man in plain clothes was sitting on it. His face was covered by a mask so his expression could not be seen, and his hands were behind his back.

It's unclear whether her hands were tied behind her back or something else, as it was hidden by the sofa back.

A masked man in plain clothes stood next to the sofa, facing it, holding a handgun and pointing it at the man on the sofa.

There was a man in plain clothes standing to the right of the sofa. He wasn't holding a gun, but he was already standing in front of Wu Zhe.

The distance is less than 2 meters.

It has entered an extremely dangerous zone.

Regardless of whether the man in plain clothes was carrying a gun or not, he was able to get close enough to Wu Zhe to fire before Wu Zhe could do so, posing a fatal danger to Wu Zhe.

Three unidentified individuals, in three different locations, are doing completely different things.

There is no information provided; you have to figure it out yourself.

This is a scenario simulation for the S·T course!

The sudden incident scene in front of Wu Zhe may seem to involve only three people, but the situation inside is actually extremely complex.

Are there any teammates? Who are the teammates?

Are there any hostages? And who are the hostages?

Are there terrorists? Who are the terrorists? Or are they all terrorists?

These are all unknown!

Wu Zhe needs to make a choice he approves of as quickly as possible and take decisive action to kill the criminals he believes to be the perpetrators.

The longer it drags on, the lower the score will be.

Conversely, the faster you process the data, the higher your score will be.

This is just the base score!

Shooting accuracy, action method, body movements, verbal expression, and subsequent answers will all be scored accordingly.

And it also hides a trump card.

Jackie Chan did not inform the trainees that there must be a hostage or teammate among them, and if they misjudged the situation, they might kill the hostage or teammate.

Then there will be no point deductions, and the entire test will be treated as a zero score.

With so many situations to consider and so many points deducted, the trainees' judgment, observation, and reaction abilities are put to the ultimate test.

"Who? Who are the thugs?"

Wu Zhe was filled with questions, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
