Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 378 Let's Get Even More Exciting (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After just a few hours of torment from the noise, the female soldiers were as if they had died once, each of them collapsing to the ground and turning into a puddle of mud.

Even Long Xiaoyun, who had the best physical condition, had her eyes closed, her face was pale, and she looked weak.

If he weren't still breathing, he would look like he was dead.

And he had been dead for several days.

If they had a choice, the female soldiers would rather run another 100-kilometer forced march than endure the mental torture here.

However, the female soldiers, experiencing excruciating pain for the first time, never imagined that this was only the beginning of their torment.

7 PM.

The high-decibel noise attack finally stopped, and the female soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had finally survived this ordeal and could finally catch their breath.

Unexpectedly, this was not the end of the ordeal, but the beginning of its escalation.

The noise bombardment wasn't stopped to give the female soldiers a break, but because the instructors were coming in to cause trouble, and they didn't want their ears to suffer during that time.

He tortured the female soldiers relentlessly, but didn't get any himself involved.

The female soldiers were having an absolutely miserable time!

"Squeak~~"

The moment the noise bombardment stopped, the prisoner's cell door opened again.

The first thing that entered the room was the blinding light. The female soldiers had been in the dark for too long, and instinctively turned their gaze to the doorway, only to be blinded by the bright light.

In that instant, it was as if they had been blinded by a flashbang; everything in front of the female soldiers turned into a white blur.

The screams of distress and fright instantly filled the air.

The female soldiers were plunged into blindness and lost their sight, but the instructors showed no mercy. Instead, they added fuel to the fire and began their second attack.

Cheng Cai, Xu Sanduo, and the others carried in high-pressure water guns and sprayed the female soldiers.

The water jets swished and crashed.

After enduring seven or eight hours of waiting in the room, the female soldiers, who had finally managed to dry their clothes with their body heat, were all soaked to the bone again.

The screams and shouts escalated even further, almost tearing the roof off.

"Oh, you're in such good spirits, you even have the energy to curse. Looks like I'll have to add some more spice to your meal. You're lucky, I've already prepared a feast for you, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

After Wu Zhe finished speaking, he waved his hand and led the instructors to close the door and leave.

Just as the female soldiers were wondering what kind of feast it was, a heavy scraping sound came from the wall on the right, and then the dim moonlight shone in.

Through the limited visibility provided by the moonlight, the female soldiers could see that it was a large industrial fan.

Previously, because there was a door in front blocking the view, and the room was pitch black, the female soldiers did not notice the special design here.

"Why bother with such a big fan?"

The female soldiers were completely baffled by the fan, which was over 1.5 meters in diameter and had a strong airflow. They had no idea what it was all about.

Until the fan slowly started spinning faster, gusts of air filled the sealed room.

Some of the female soldiers' expressions changed; they finally realized what was happening.

Most of the female soldiers, such as Tian Guo, felt the cool sensation on their bodies and found it quite comfortable, showing a contented expression.

However, as the fan blades gradually increased their rotation speed, the incoming air became stronger and stronger.

They also noticed something was wrong.

The wind that was originally cool and refreshing turned chilly as it got stronger, and it wasn't so comfortable anymore.

As their clothes and skin, soaked by water, dried in the wind, carrying away a large amount of heat, the female soldiers' body temperatures began to drop rapidly.

A few minutes later.

The chill turned into waves of cold, sending goosebumps up the female soldiers' skin and causing them to tremble uncontrollably.

This is a self-protective signal from the body.

When a person's body cools down too quickly and falls into hypothermia, the body will activate its self-protection mechanism by shaking itself to increase its internal temperature.

At the same time, more energy will be concentrated in the torso to ensure the normal functioning of vital organs such as the heart.

The resulting physiological reaction is that the hands and feet become increasingly cold over time.

Even someone with the lowest IQ would realize at this point that the instructors were watering the plants and then blowing air on them, and they would understand why.

The instructors did this on purpose, to make them experience the pain of being frozen.

Although it doesn't snow in November in the southeastern region, the temperature is already far lower than in summer, and you need an air-conditioned blanket at night.

The female soldiers were soaked through, and the fans were blowing directly on their bodies.

You can imagine how cold it must have been!

"I'm freezing! Someone please save me!"

"That devil is too wicked! He resorts to such underhanded tactics. Is he trying to freeze us to death?"

"Sisters, you must hold on! Chinese female soldiers never give up!"

"Remember what I said before, they can't really do anything to us. At most, they'll suffer some physical pain. If we can get through that, we'll become dragons."

"Everyone should get moving, stomp their feet, rub their hands, and huddle together as much as possible to keep warm and slow down the rate of heat loss."

……

As the female soldiers grew increasingly distressed, they had no choice but to huddle together for warmth and to save themselves in the limited space, each offering their own ideas and solutions.

As the female soldiers grew increasingly cold, all they could do was breathe on their skin, stomp their feet, and rub their hands.

Then a dozen or so people huddled together, like Antarctic penguins braving a blizzard, huddling together in a corner of the room for warmth.

Command and control center.

Jackie Chan, Wu Zhe, Cheng Cai, Tuo Yonggang, and others stood or sat staring at the large screen on the wall, where they could clearly see every female soldier in the room.

"These female soldiers are usually noisy and argumentative, like proud hens who don't give in to each other, but now it seems they're more united than we imagined," Wu Zhe joked.

"The captain's combination punch was really amazing. First, he soaked them with water, then he blew them with a strong wind. It was brilliant! Look at these greenhorns now, they're practically frozen solid, haha." Tuo Yonggang praised with a loud laugh.

"But then again, true friendship is revealed in times of trouble. If these female soldiers can get through this ordeal, their relationship will definitely become very deep."

Cheng Cai's perspective is more profound; he can already foresee the deep sisterly bond among the female soldiers.

The same is true.

Sharing happiness together is unlikely to foster deep affection; it's more likely to degenerate into fair-weather friends.

Suffering together can lead to vastly different experiences and a high probability of developing a deep friendship. Regardless of what happens after they become wealthy, the bond formed during the period of shared hardship will be absolutely unbreakable.

"The reason I kept them all together, instead of separating them, was precisely because of this."

Jackie Chan affirmed Cheng Cai's judgment, and then went on to say, "Secondly, if they don't stick together for warmth, they will soon fall into hypothermia, and none of them will be able to pass this test."

The Phoenix Selection Training will end before dawn tomorrow.

Fortunately, this group of novices has some awareness and a basic sense of teamwork has begun to emerge. By sticking together and supporting each other, they should be able to overcome this challenge.

You don't need to worry about the rest of the time. You two can take turns on duty in pairs and keep an eye on things. As long as no one gets killed, you're fine.

The first round of interrogations will officially begin tomorrow morning. We'll see how many female soldiers stay, or if they'll all be eliminated.

I'm going to rest now. Hoe, you're in charge of arranging the rest of the work tonight.

After Jackie Chan finished speaking, he stood up from his chair, handed over all the work to Wu Zhe, and leisurely became a hands-off boss, leaving the combat monitoring center with his hands behind his back.

Wu Zhe was already used to Jackie Chan's style and quickly arranged the work.

The first night of the anti-prisoner training was nothing special for the instructors; they did their shifts and went to sleep as usual.

But for the female soldiers, it was destined to be an unforgettable night.

The high-powered industrial fans whirred and blew all night long, making the female soldiers feel the chill of deep winter in this early autumn season.

Until six o'clock the next morning.

The female soldiers, who had been exposed to the cold wind for ten hours, still had their lips trembling from the cold, despite trying various methods to keep warm together.

The sound of teeth chattering in the cold was so loud that it could be clearly heard even from outside the door.

The female soldiers, who hadn't been able to sleep all night, were now cold, hungry, and exhausted. They wanted to sleep but dared not, fearing that if they fell asleep, they would never wake up again.

His mental state was already on the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for Long Xiaoyun and He Lu constantly encouraging them, some female soldiers probably wouldn't have been able to hold on and would have surrendered in the middle of the night.

Just when the female soldiers were living each day as if it were an eternity, and they didn't know what the meaning of life was anymore, the closed door finally opened again.

Cheng Cai and his group of instructors, like wolves and tigers, rushed in, kicking, hitting, and pulling, forcibly separating all the female soldiers.

After handcuffing them again, he disregarded the fact that the female soldiers' joints were stiff from the cold and they couldn't walk at all, and forcibly dragged them out of the ground.

Then, as ruthlessly as throwing away a dead dog, it was carelessly tossed aside on the open ground in front of the door.

The dozen or so female soldiers were thrown around and cried out in pain, grimacing and groaning. They wanted to curse, but they no longer had the energy to do so.

After last night's ordeal, the female soldiers were all in a daze.

The instructors didn't speak to the female soldiers. They dragged them all out and threw them together, then stepped aside and stood with their hands behind their backs, partially surrounding the female soldiers.

Those menacing expressions meant that any female soldiers who dared to make a move would be met with a thunderous attack.

In reality, the female soldiers were too weak to move; they were all limp, softer than cooked noodles, and there was no way they could put up any resistance.

The only thing they could do was struggle desperately, trying to make each other feel a little better by leaning on each other.

After all, the ground is too cold and too hard.

During this time, the instructors did nothing, except for the head instructor, Jackie Chan, who sat not far away and lit a bonfire to have a barbecue.

For the cold and hungry female soldiers, both the warm campfire with its crackling flames and the fragrant roasted meat were the most irresistible temptations.

The aroma of barbecue wafts over on the wind...

The female soldiers' eyes widened in amazement!

The gurgling sounds from her throat and the rumbling of her stomach from extreme hunger echoed like a symphony from the female soldier.

Ye Cunxin, Shen Lanni, and the others, who were very competitive, felt embarrassed when they heard their stomachs growling.

Forcibly shifting one's gaze elsewhere, attempting to physically divert attention to block the body's craving for warmth and roasted meat.

Some people can resist it, while others have absolutely no resistance.

Among them, Tianguo is the best!

Her codename "Pistachio" isn't just for show; her personality leans towards being simple and straightforward, and in some ways, she's a bit like Xu Sanduo.

Tian Guo's biggest flaw is his gluttony; he can't resist any delicious food.

At this moment, the body is extremely hungry, and seeing crispy and juicy roast meat is irresistible, the temptation is multiplied several times.

His throat moved so violently that you could hear the saliva sloshing around.

"It smells so good! It smells amazing! I can't resist! I need to eat meat! Give me a bite of meat, or I'll starve to death!"

Tian Guo drooled and muttered to herself as her body uncontrollably crawled toward Jackie Chan.

Fortunately, her good friend Ouyang Qian noticed in time and pulled Tian Guo back, saying loudly, "Hold on, you must hold on! If you go over there, you'll really become a traitor."

Long Xiaoyun, He Lu, and others also spoke up to persuade Tian Guo, who was tempted by the delicious food.

"Yes, we've made it through one day, and there are only two more days until it's over."

"Giving up now would mean all the suffering we've endured was for nothing, wouldn't that be such a loss?"

"Victory is just around the corner, Happy Fruit, you must hold on! You absolutely cannot disgrace the female soldiers and become a laughingstock among these stinky men."

……

With the female soldiers' repeated persuasion, Tian Guo finally managed to control her appetite and covered her eyes to avoid seeing it.

But she covered her eyes for less than ten seconds before peeking through a few gaps in the middle, looking in Jackie Chan's direction.

The main idea is to satisfy your visual cravings even if you can't eat it, while smacking your lips and imagining yourself enjoying a delicious meal.

"You must have been a starving ghost in your past life, all you ever do is eat, eat, eat."

Ye Cunxin couldn't stand it any longer, and with her sharp tongue, she unleashed another barrage of sarcasm.

However, Tian Guo may not have heard at all, as her attention was focused on the roasted chicken leg in Jackie Chan's hand, or perhaps she knew she couldn't win an argument with Ye Cunxin and didn't want to make a fool of herself.

He ignored Ye Cunxin's taunts and continued to virtually eat chicken legs.

"This works too??"

Seeing that Tian Guo could eat chicken legs so deliciously, Long Xiaoyun and the other female soldiers were all greatly shocked.

After the commotion Tian Guo caused subsided, the scene became quiet again, with only the aroma of meat and increasingly loud gurgling sounds.

Grilling chicken legs in front of someone who is extremely hungry is, to put it bluntly, truly devilish.

Ten more minutes passed.

Jackie Chan grilled the chicken legs until they sizzled and dripped oil, making a crackling sound as they fell onto the charcoal fire. Then he sprinkled on some barbecue seasoning, and the aroma became irresistible.

As a gust of wind carried the fragrance over, the female soldiers collectively made a series of excited, up-and-down gurgling sounds.

It smells so good, I can't resist it.

Although making female soldiers smell the fragrance was already devilish enough, Jackie Chan didn't intend to stop there. He decided to do something even more exciting.
