Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 498 Flourishing within the Armed Police

The intense resistance that came from the depths of his bones prevented Xiao Yunjie from taking a bite. Several times he had already put the food to his lips, but in the end he pulled it back.

"Old Xiao, haven't you learned your lesson yet? Don't forget about the selection and assessment process."

Yan Poyue overcame his psychological barrier and found that it wasn't actually that scary. Seeing that Xiao Yunjie hadn't said anything for a long time, he kindly reminded him from the side.

"I really can't eat this, it's disgusting. I'll put it away for now and eat it when I'm really starving."

Xiao Yunjie chose to learn from his previous mistake, but instead of eating the food, he opened his pocket and stuffed the insect feast inside.

This is indeed a backup plan; if you get so hungry you can't stand it anymore, you still have a chance to take it out and eat it.

Unlike the previous selection and assessment period, when they couldn't eat the bird meat and threw it away on the spot, resulting in them being so hungry and dizzy that they couldn't eat anything later.

Yan Poyue didn't try to persuade Xiao Yunjie anymore, and told him to just eat the food in his lunchbox.

"Okay, I'm full."

Lone Wolf poured all the remaining insects from his lunchbox into Yan Poyue's lunchbox, then said as he packed up the lunchbox, "I've repaid all the favors I've given you."

From now on, we'll each go our own way. I hope you can hold on until the end.

After saying that, Lone Wolf got up and left.

So it turns out that her long, rapid-fire chatter—a rare occurrence for her—was to repay the two people for the food they had given her.

Xiao Yunjie opened his mouth to speak, but a rapid whistle rang out.

"Beep beep beep beep".

"Snack time complete, assemble."

With Lu Tu's command, all the trainees, whether they had finished eating or not, quickly packed their sushi lunchboxes and backpacks and assembled.

It seems that the seemingly endless mountain off-road race has once again begun in a grand and spectacular manner.

They ran from the flat ground to the mountain road, and then into the jungle.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe three hours, maybe five hours.

Most of the trainees were already dizzy from running, and various physiological reactions from running fatigue began to appear on their bodies.

My muscles are stiff, swollen, and painful; my lungs feel like they're on fire; my head is spinning; and my legs feel like they weigh a ton...

Many trainees even vomited from running!

I was vomiting while running!

It's normal to vomit when your stomach and intestines can't take it anymore after running to your limit. But once you can't help but vomit, your physical strength will be further depleted.

The more you run, the more uncomfortable it will become, until you eventually collapse from exhaustion.

Yan Poyue was one of those who vomited from running.

Fortunately, he knew that once he vomited, his body would weaken quickly, so he forcibly held back and suppressed the urge to vomit with his willpower.

"Look, look, another one threw up. They only ate so little and still threw up. What a waste."

"I have to write this down; my physical fitness isn't up to par."

"It's only been running for a few hours and it's already this weak. The quality of this batch is really bad."

Having settled Long and his group in, Qin Feng returned to the base's monitoring center, enjoying a late-night snack while watching and commenting on the footage.

The calm person sitting next to him, responsible for taking notes, was completely speechless at Qin Feng's sarcastic remarks.

Worried about whether Lone Wolf could hold on, she really wanted to jump up and say, "This isn't three kilometers, or five kilometers, it's several hours! An old man like you would have collapsed long ago."

……

They ran from nightfall until the morning star appeared and the first hint of dawn broke in the east.

The reserve team members gathered at around 10 o'clock and have been running for more than six hours now, with only a short rest of about ten minutes in between.

I can say I ran around all night!

Even though their speed dropped significantly towards the end, the reserve team members were basically sustained by willpower, and most of them were swaying as they ran.

But under the hazy darkness of the night, the trainees suddenly discovered something.

"This place looks so familiar."

"Holy crap, isn't this where we started? How did we end up back here?"

"Weren't we supposed to be going to the Cheetah Base? Did they lead us the wrong way? Why did they bring us back again?"

……

The reserve team members couldn't help but feel surprised and began to discuss it with their last bit of strength. Just as the students were discussing, Lü Tu's off-road vehicle stopped.

Several trucks and military off-road vehicles were also parked where Lü Tu had parked his car.

Upon seeing this open space, all the reserve team members realized with absolute certainty that this was the starting point.

It's like running all night, only to end up back where you started.

It's practically a wasted trip!

"Look around you all, get moving! Don't just stand there, don't sit down either. Walk around and see if the scenery here is beautiful. It's so beautiful, I'm showing it to you a couple more times..."

While Lü Tu was saying hurtful things, he was actually secretly helping the reserve team members.

After a long trail run, you should never sit down to rest immediately after finishing, no matter how tired you are and how much you want to collapse.

You must walk slowly, slow down, and then stop.

Otherwise, if you suddenly stop after strenuous exercise, your body will likely experience severe discomfort, ranging from vomiting and feeling unwell to fainting.

The armed police officers who can enter the training team are all elites, and they have served in the army for at least three or four years.

There were only two privates!

Everyone understands the aftereffects of strenuous running, so even though they were annoyed that Lu Tu was leading everyone in circles, they listened to his advice and walked around to cool off.

At this point, there were fewer than 50 trainees left, and some had already fainted and been eliminated halfway through the run.

Therefore, the rule of eliminating the last-place finisher no longer needs to be enforced.

By the time all the remaining students arrived, seven or eight minutes had passed, and most of them had recovered somewhat.

Another jeep-modified convertible military vehicle slowly drove up from another road.

A captain was standing in the car.

As soon as Lu Tu saw the carriage approaching, he shouted, "This place is now in your hands."

"OK."

The captain waved and introduced himself to all the trainees: "Listen, my name is Cao Ben, one of the instructors for this training camp."

I have some good news for you. When we gave you extra meals before, the place where we gave you those meals was actually very close to the camp.

But then I suddenly remembered that there was a batch of supplies that needed to be moved back to the base.

Captain Lü and I discussed it and decided that since we were all free anyway, we might as well take this opportunity to get some exercise and also bring the stuff back with us.

After Cao Ben finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the armed police officer standing next to the truck opened the rear door.

Inside, there were dark green supply boxes, about 30 centimeters wide, 40 centimeters long, and 15 centimeters high, made of engineering plastic.

"Please, everyone, move all these supplies from the truck back to the camp. Fifteen kilograms each. For you elite soldiers, this weight is nothing, right?"

After Cao Ben finished issuing the task using a provocation tactic, he pointed in a direction and said, "The place where you had a snack earlier, this is the direction. Just run there, then climb over the small hill to the east, and you'll see the camp gate."

We will warmly welcome you there, and welcome you to the Cheetah Base.

After pausing for a second, he added, "Oh, right, it's the same old rule: the last one to arrive is eliminated."

After explaining everything to the trainees, Cao Ben and Lü Tu left by car.

Only a group of trainees and armed police officers driving trucks remained.

Bai Long was always running in the lead. When he saw Cao Ben leave, he was the first to walk up to him, took a box from the car, put it on his shoulder, and started running.

"How come he still has energy?"

When Zhou Zijian saw that Bai Long was still full of energy, his eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.

"What's wrong, Jianjian? If you're running out of energy, then just give up already."

Yan Poyue deliberately provoked Zhou Zijian with his words. Not wanting to fall behind, he followed closely behind Bai Long, picked up a box, and set off again.

Lone Wolf and Xiao Yunjie were not to be outdone, so they were a step behind and started working as well.

Spurred on, Zhou Zijian wiped his sweat, gritted his teeth, and went up as well.

The other trainees hadn't forgotten Cao Ben's last words before he left, and in order not to be the last, they all rushed towards the truck.

The trainees were already exhausted from running, and then they had to carry a 30-pound box on their shoulders.

That was really extremely heavy!

Running with long strides is simply unrealistic; even running with short strides is difficult to achieve.

Apart from Bai Lang, who was able to carry the boxes and run, the rest of the people, including Yan Poyue, could only carry the boxes and walk forward.

They tried to walk as fast as possible, which was already their physical limit.

The third group of trainees had an even worse time; they couldn't even walk briskly anymore and could only carry their boxes to barely keep moving forward.

Various comments such as "This is way too damn heavy" and "I'll die if I carry this box back" were made.

It's a steady stream!

For this group of people, being able to walk while carrying backpacks and boxes was already their limit; they simply couldn't run. They would be lucky to walk back.

"Captain."

Leng Jing, being a woman, is soft-hearted. Seeing the runners carrying boxes back, she couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and stood up to question, "Captain, you haven't forgotten that they've already run for over forty kilometers all night, right?"

"No? What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Qin Feng looked at Leng Jing with surprise, then grabbed the apple and took another bite. Juice gushed out with a crisp sound, but it didn't stop him from eating and drinking at all.

Compared to the trainees who were exhausted and suffering, Qin Feng was living a life of luxury.

"Is everything alright?"

Calmly raising her voice by half a tone, she suggested, "Male soldiers are fine, since you all went through the same thing, but Guo Xiaoxiao is a female soldier."

She should be held to the same standards as female special forces, not treated with the same intensity as male soldiers. That would be very unfair to her.

"Oh~~"

Qin Feng suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "I had forgotten about this if you hadn't mentioned it. Here, take a look at number 25 and bring over his video."

While the technicians were reviewing the video, Qin Feng casually remarked, "I remember when you first joined Cheetah, you were treated as a male soldier, right? It doesn't seem to be the female soldier standard you mentioned."

"I transferred her here. If she runs herself ragged before even getting into the camp, how am I supposed to explain that to the other side? The peacekeeping battalion treats her like a treasure," he said calmly and seriously.

"Yes, you have a point."

Qin Feng nodded as if in agreement, but the next second he abruptly changed the subject, saying, "But precisely because you transferred her here, she should persevere even more. She absolutely cannot let you down; she must surpass you, don't you think?"

"..."

Qin Feng's words were so brilliant that they completely shut down all avenues, leaving Lone Wolf utterly speechless and unsure how to retaliate.

"Good morning, Captain Qin."

At this moment, Jackie Chan lifted the curtain and walked in. Seeing the trainees panting and running on the big screen, he knew what was going on but pretended to be surprised and laughed, "Still running? You haven't rested all night, have you? You're really ruthless."

"Is this what you call brutal?"

Captain Qin Feng chuckled and said, "I heard that you have a 'Hell Week' over there, where you get no more than four hours of sleep in total over seven days."

Compared to the intensity of your Hell Week, my one-night-long sleepless night is nothing at all.

After saying that, he picked up the lunchbox on the table and handed it over: "You came at a good time. There's only one apple left. Would you like one?"

"I'm never polite. It may not be enough for breakfast, but it can fill a gap between my teeth."

Jackie Chan picked it up without hesitation and started biting into it, taking half a bite in one go. He then said, "Hell Week is indeed the norm where we are. How about we do one for this batch of soldiers? So you can experience it for yourself?"

"Absolutely, we'd love to. If the training is effective, it will be a regular part of the Cheetah Commando's training programs from now on."

How could Qin Feng refuse such an opportunity to learn from others? He readily agreed and arranged, "When these rookies enter the base, their first subject will be Hell Week."

"What do you say, Team Leader Cheng? Do you have time to make arrangements on your end?"

"this……"

Seeing Captain Qin's expectant eyes, Jackie Chan deliberately paused for two seconds before saying, "As the pioneer of the domestic Devil's Hell Week, I have the deepest research in this area."

"I would be very happy to be able to contribute my skills to the Armed Police, and I certainly have the time."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to become the team leader."

Upon hearing that Jackie Chan was the founder of Hell Week, Qin Feng's smile widened, and he said enthusiastically, "Just let me know if you need anything. If I have it, I'll give it to you immediately; if I don't, I'll try to get it for you."

"Haha, since Captain Qin is so enthusiastic, I must get this done for you. I'll go and come up with a plan for you right away and show it to you later."

After Jackie Chan finished speaking, he turned and left, preparing to call some laborers to do the work.

When it comes to writing plans and proposals, it has to be done by Wu Zhe, the academic superstar. Those dazzling academic credentials can't be wasted, can they?

"The founder of Hellweek? That doesn't sound like the truth to me."

After Jackie Chan left, he calmly frowned and said.

"They were sent by higher-ups, and they were transferred from other branches of the military. We'll see if they have real skills when the time comes," Qin Feng said with a smile.
