Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

The exercise area looks very large, but in reality there are only a few lanes.

In particular, the road outside the independent building is the only way to the central area. Not only the athletes have to walk on it, but the troop transport vehicles also have to walk on it.

Yan Poyue and his two companions ran downstairs and began their tampering right there on the road.

They moved a tree trunk several meters long from the house, along with two rusty oil drums, and set them up on the road to create a temporary roadblock.

After simply blocking off the road, Yan Poyue and his two companions ran to the roadside and hid in the bushes.

I waited for almost half an hour.

The sky gradually turned orange, and it was dusk before nightfall. The long-awaited sounds finally returned to the highway.

It wasn't a contestant coming to pass, but rather the troop transport vehicle carrying Yan Poyue and others.

"Who's so bored? Why block the road? The contestants don't have any cars, they can just walk from either side. They're really brainless."

The driver got out of the car cursing and walked towards the barrier to remove it.

Although the barricade was of such poor quality that it was impossible for it to stop troop transport trucks, which could easily ram through it without needing to refuel.

However, if the front of the car is deformed or the paint is chipped, it will be more troublesome to repair it when you get back.

So the driver chose an easier method: moving the tree trunk, which didn't seem to weigh more than a few dozen kilograms, so he could get back home earlier for dinner.

pity.

He oversimplified things.

Completely unaware that this was a trap, the driver, who was being tricked by someone using the troop carrier, was doomed from the moment he got out of the vehicle. He rushed out of the bushes and was pinned to the ground and untied by Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie.

"You have some nerve, daring to rob a troop transport vehicle. This is against the rules, and you will all be expelled."

The driver wasn't scared, only angry. Despite being pinned to the ground with his mouth full of ash, he angrily issued warnings and threats.

"Expel us? Who are you trying to fool? Give us a break, we're not easily intimidated."

Xiao Yunjie already knew the outcome before he arrived, and was not affected by the driver's intimidation at all. He became even more skilled at tying people up.

"Old Xiao, go look in the car, leave the rest to me," Yan Poyue instructed.

"OK!"

Xiao Yunjie was really hungry. As soon as he thought about the food, he ran away as fast as he could.

"Brother, I'm sorry, but don't worry, we'll just get you some food. We won't do anything to you. We'll let you go once we get it."

Yan Poyue was surprisingly polite, apologizing as he tied people up.

Seeing that he was about to be tied up like a dumpling, the driver was furious that he, as a cheetah, had been tricked by a contestant, and he was so angry that he wouldn't listen to any explanations.

The continued aggressive threats and intimidation prompted Yan Poyue to quickly release it.

Yan Poyue was too lazy to listen anymore, so he took off the driver's hat, crumpled it into a stick, and stuffed it into the driver's mouth while the driver was drowsy.

The world suddenly became quiet!

On the other side, Xiao Yunjie ran to the back of the carriage, lifted the tarpaulin, and looked inside. The carriage was completely empty.

"No way!"

Xiao Yunjie was startled and sensed something was wrong. He quickly ran to the driver's seat, opened the door, and climbed in.

After rummaging through everything inside, they still couldn't find the bread and milk they expected, only a military water bottle.

I picked it up, shook it, and there was still more than half a pot left inside.

Thinking he couldn't leave empty-handed, Xiao Yunjie had no choice but to reluctantly carry the half-full pot of water back to Yan Poyue's side, looking exhausted.

"Swallow, there's nothing to eat. There's only a water jug, and it's only half full."

Hearing that Xiao Yunjie hadn't found any food, Yan Poyue removed the hat from the driver's mouth and asked in bewilderment, "Brother, why is your car empty? Where did you hide the food?"

"no."

The driver roared in response.

"Why do other people have them in their cars? I saw them giving out bread and milk," Yan Poyue asked, puzzled.

"They bought it out of kindness, worried that you'd starve. I'm not going to serve you bunch of good-for-nothings. Go eat shit."

The driver is now furious and can only vent his negative emotions.

Seeing that the driver was unable to communicate properly and that further questioning would be futile, Yan Poyue gave up and quickly stuffed his hat back into his hand.

The world is quiet again!

"We haven't found anything to eat, what do we do now?" Xiao Yunjie was completely bewildered.

"What else can we do?"

Yan Poyue frowned and said, "Since we didn't find it in this car, let's drive around looking for it. We're sure to find it in another car."

"Huh? Looking for it by car???"

Looking back on what they had agreed upon, Xiao Yunjie was bewildered by this unexpected turn of events.

"Didn't we agree not to steal the car?" Zhang Tianyang asked, looking reluctant.

"The situation is special now. They've already taken action; they have no choice but to hijack the car."

Yan Poyue adopted an attitude that he had already done all the bad things and was on the wrong boat, with no way out but to keep sailing.

Zhang Tianyang was stunned for several seconds.

Finally realizing the team's current predicament and the lack of any way out, he could only helplessly say, "You two are just messing around. What will you do if something goes wrong?"

Done.

Without waiting for Yan Poyue's reply, he limped towards the car.

Zhang Tianyang's actions had already made his stance clear. Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie exchanged a glance, laughed, and quickly began to take action.

Yan Poyue was responsible for getting into the driver's seat and driving, while Xiao Yunjie was responsible for taking the hostages to the back of the vehicle.

Just as the three were busy hijacking the car and preparing to leave, the remote camera of a drone a hundred meters away promptly transferred the footage to the command center.

"Those brats, they're using this trick again, targeting us specifically."

Seeing this familiar scene, Lu Tu recalled what had happened to him in the first level and couldn't help but laugh and curse in anger.

"Hey, Captain, isn't openly seizing an troop transport vehicle a violation of regulations?" Calmly asked.

Upon hearing this, Jackie Chan, Cheng Cai, and Xu Sanduo all turned their gazes to Captain Qin Feng, wanting to see how he would explain himself.

He personally designed the assessment rules, and he understood them better than anyone else.

"Theoretically, it's against the rules, but..."

Qin Feng wanted to say that there was a loophole in the rules he set and he hadn't fixed it, but he couldn't directly say that he hadn't thought things through.

He could only change the subject, saying, "Ahem, first of all, I'd like to ask everyone, what is the main purpose of this selection assessment?"

"Generate a confrontation within the designated area, leaving only the last two teams," Leng Jing blurted out.

"Did he leave the assessment area?" Qin Feng asked calmly.

"No!" came the calm reply.

"That's right."

Having successfully changed the subject, Qin Feng immediately became assertive again, saying with great enthusiasm, "They are still within the scope of the assessment, and the vehicles are also within the scope. The core of the assessment is survival."

So, although doing this might seem like exploiting loopholes, it's still within the rules, and they can do it perfectly well.

In all the previous assessments, they were the first to steal the car, Yan Poyue…”

Captain Qin Feng even specifically called out names, his eyes filled with a somewhat ambiguous emotion, but he ultimately didn't say anything more.

"This guy is just clever in a petty way; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's full of bad intentions."

Lu Tu appeared to be very angry, but in reality, he was belittling Yan Poyue to elevate him and prove that he was tricked because the other party was too cunning.

"It all comes down to how you use cleverness. If used well, it can be surprisingly effective in real combat," Jackie Chan praised.

"If the rules don't specify what can't be done, then there's absolutely no problem. Special forces soldiers can't be too rigid in their thinking; they need to be more flexible and adaptable," Cheng Cai agreed.

"Clever tricks can be useful in a pinch, but to go all the way, we need real strength. My big fish has been killing like crazy. Let's wait and see if Yan Poyue and the other two can make it to the end."

Qin Feng's opinion of Yan Poyue had changed somewhat, but he was still full of confidence in his big fish.

"Clever tricks are just clever tricks; real strength is the only path to success," Leng Jing said with a double meaning.

Ultimately, only two groups could pass the test. Qin Feng's big fish had already proven his formidable strength, which meant that only one group remained.

As someone who naturally recommends contestants, Leng Jing will definitely support her own people.

"Quite a few players have already been eliminated, but there are still more than ten groups left. None of the groups have even reached the central area yet. I feel the competition isn't intense enough. It's time to increase the intensity. Or... how about we put another airdrop among them?"

As an absolutely neutral third party, Jackie Chan had no prejudice against any contestant and his mentality was the most stable. He found a stool and sat down comfortably, ready to watch the final show before nightfall.

"Good idea."

Captain Qin Feng knew that once night fell, the contestants, lacking night vision equipment, would choose to play it safe and find a place to hide and wait for dawn.

He wholeheartedly agreed with Jackie Chan's suggestion to watch one more big show before dark.

He ordered, "Lu Tu, go and make the arrangements."

"Okay."

Lu Tu, always eager for a good show, promptly went to make the arrangements upon receiving the order.

……

On the other side, Yan Poyue and his two companions failed to obtain any food and had no choice but to abandon the independent building they had just seized, driving around the streets searching for other troop transport vehicles.

After wandering around for a while, I didn't see any troop carriers, but I did see one airdropped.

And the distance isn't far!

Upon seeing the airdrop, Xiao Yunjie's eyes turned red, and his stomach growled even hungrier. He asked impatiently, "Airdrop! There's an airdrop at four o'clock! Squad leader, Yanzi, should we go grab it?"

Xiao Yunjie was filled with regret for missing the last airdrop, which was right in front of him.

What's most infuriating is that the person the short seller ultimately got his hands on was none other than Squad Leader Xiao, whom he disliked the most, and Squad Leader Xiao even showed off in front of him.

Now that he's been given a second chance, Xiao Yunjie doesn't want to miss it again.

"They've already looted the troop carriers, why aren't they looting the supplies too?"

Zhang Tianyang was forced onto the pirate ship, and now he was completely desperate. He no longer had the same concerns as before, and almost shouted the order: "Yan Poyue, turn around and go grab the airdrop."

"Squad leader, your order sounds so good."

Yan Poyue's face lit up with a smile, and he turned the steering wheel to swerve around.

The three members of Group 02 went through many twists and turns and racked their brains for this food and drink, even completely overturning their tactics and throwing away their sneakyness completely.

Meanwhile, the 01 group, which came from the same group, was living a carefree life.

The three of them sat in the military vehicle, which gave them a great sense of security. The windows were covered with weeds and leaves, so they weren't worried about being attacked from a distance.

If any enemy dares to sneak over and cause trouble, we can fight if we have more people and run if we have fewer. We have a lot of room to maneuver.

The three of them weren't worried about getting a rest that night. They were leisurely eating the airdropped food they had stolen that afternoon, and they couldn't be more comfortable.

"Squad leader, look ahead, there are supplies."

Zhou Zijian pointed ahead through the windshield, so excited that he spat out the compressed dry rations in his mouth.

"What's the panic?"

Squad Leader Xiao calmly ate his canned ham, and after finishing it slowly, he said, "No rush, let's wait until they're all fighting over it before we go over and take them down a few more before dark."

With food, drink, a car, and people, Squad Leader Xiao certainly had the right to be arrogant.

Compared to Squad Leader Xiao, who has a vehicle and greater mobility, and has a precedent of reaping the benefits of others' schemes, he is still prepared to sit back and reap the rewards despite the empty promises.

On the other side, the White Dragon, who had made a stunning debut, had not found its target for over two hours.

I'm incredibly thirsty now!

Seeing the airdrop slowly descending from the sky, and realizing that many small fish would rush over to snatch the food, their eyes lit up immediately.

Even if he were fighting alone, he might face an attack from a group of enemies.

There wasn't even the slightest bit of fear.

This is the absolute confidence of a veteran special forces soldier like Cheetah, who sees himself as an eagle among chicks.

What's the use of having a large number of chicks if they're all prey to an eagle?

As the second group with only vehicles in the entire operation, Yan Poyue devised a combat plan based on the advantages of trucks on the way to the airdrop.

"Old Xiao, I'll drive in a bit. We'll drive straight to the airdrop before stopping. The squad leader will switch to the driver's seat and drive. You and I will get out and grab the airdrop. Once we have it, we'll get back in the truck and run. The truck is big enough to provide enough cover for us."

Yan Poyue issued the battle order despite his overstepping authority, but this did not arouse Zhang Tianyang's resentment.

Instead, he gave a positive reply: "Okay, we'll do as you say, grab the airdrop and run, without getting entangled with anyone."

"Yes, if there are people, we'll fight; if there aren't, we'll run. With vehicles as cover, we have an advantage," Yan Poyue said.

"Yanzi, your command is getting better and better!"

Xiao Yunjie chuckled, his hands moving swiftly as he cocked his gun, preparing for battle.

Using the large size of trucks as an advantage is, in a sense, exploiting loopholes.

The smoke canister requires laser illumination to activate, while the laser for firing a gun will be blocked by the large vehicle body; if you drive right next to the airdrop, there will be a wall.

Other players' attempts to intervene were largely ineffective; firing a gun had little effect.

If they used live ammunition, the result would be completely different. With that tarpaulin-clad truck covered in metal, all three of them would be riddled with bullets in no time.
