Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

As Jackie Chan gave the order to "serve the food," the trainees turned their expectant gazes to the cafeteria door, and the grand meal officially unveiled its mystery.

Cheng Cai and Xu Sanduo worked together, each carrying one side of a large stainless steel basin in.

The basin was full of raw beef, piled up like a small mountain.

"So much raw beef? What are we going to do with it?"

The trainees were full of questions and couldn't understand what it meant at all.

Fortunately, Jackie Chan didn't keep them in suspense any longer. After Cheng Cai and Xu Sanduo put the bowls on the serving table in front of them, he went over and announced, "This is your breakfast. Each person is allotted two catties of raw beef, which must be eaten within twenty minutes."

If anyone fails to finish eating on time, you will still face punishment, and you can believe me, this time the punishment will be brand new, unlike anything you've ever seen before, guaranteed to be incredibly satisfying.

Jackie Chan spoke with a smile throughout, but the students below all looked worried after listening.

"How can you eat raw beef? Is it even safe for humans to eat?"

Two pounds of raw beef? Good heavens, that'll make my stomach burst!

"Yesterday they starved us half to death, are they trying to stuff us to death today?"

"This is terrible. Even when I'm starving, I can't eat more than two pounds of the best braised pork, let alone raw pork."

……

The trainees were in a state of intense emotional turmoil, all of them furiously criticizing Jackie Chan's arrangements. No matter how hungry they were, they had no appetite for the raw beef.

Jackie Chan had no intention of discussing the matter with his students, let alone listening to their suggestions or opinions.

Ignoring the students' varied and interesting expressions, he then gave the order: "Starting from table number one, line up to get your beef."

Hurry up, everyone. Start the timer now; any time wasted is your own responsibility.

After Jackie Chan finished speaking, he took out a stopwatch and started timing the students.

No matter how unwilling the trainees were, or how little they had an appetite for raw beef, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and come forward to receive the food under these circumstances.

The beef had already been pre-portioned into two-pound portions, and the serving was done very quickly.

Forty-four trainees went up to collect their beef in turn, and it took less than two minutes in total. Each trainee received their beef and returned to their respective positions.

Looking at the two pounds of raw beef piled up in the lunchbox, the trainees' reactions were divided into three groups.

First up are the White Dragon and Lone Wolf, who have already undergone relevant wilderness survival training and eating raw meat is nothing new to them.

So he took the meat back and put it on the table, and immediately started eating it with his hands.

Without the fancy cutlery of a Western restaurant, they simply picked up the beef with both hands and started gnawing on it whole.

The second tier, represented by Yan Poyue, focuses on enduring hardship and suffering.

My body and mouth both abhor raw beef. The strong, fishy smell of the beef completely robbed me of any appetite.

I might even feel nauseous!

Raw beef is indeed very tiring to chew. It's even chewier than overcooked beef that's tough like a belt. It takes a lot of effort to chew it, and swallowing it whole can be quite difficult and cause it to get stuck in your throat.

This forces the trainees to endure nausea and vomiting from time to time after forcing themselves to eat.

In summary, I can eat, but I eat very slowly and it's difficult.

The last and third group were strongly resisting. They looked at the raw beef, still with traces of blood, their brows furrowed, and their stomachs churned uncontrollably.

I tried to bite it by forcibly putting it to my mouth, but not only did I fail to bite it, I almost vomited up all the water I drank yesterday.

I really can't eat anymore.

Xiao Yunjie is a typical example.

The thought of having a set time to eat, and facing terrible punishment if they couldn't finish on time, made them extremely anxious.

Amidst this complex mix of anxiety, tension, trepidation, and resistance, the group remained silent for a long time.

"Wow, so many people aren't eating?"

Jackie Chan looked around the room and said in a joking tone, "Let me tell you the truth, if you don't eat, you definitely won't last until tomorrow."

Because this is your only meal for the next two days. If you miss this meal, you'll have to train on an empty stomach for two days.

No one can survive two days on an empty stomach under my command.

If you don't want to eat, or can't eat, don't force yourself. Just give up early. The Cheetah Commando Unit isn't a place for you.

The third type of trainees, who were still hesitant, heard that this would be their only meal for the next two days.

Jackie Chan's final provocation stirred up the trainees' rebellious spirit, further solidifying their determination to join the Cheetah Club.

The two-pronged approach yielded significant results.

The trainees, who were initially reluctant to eat it even under the threat of death, forced themselves to clear their minds of the distractions and began to gnaw on the raw beef in order to continue on their journey.

After one or two bites, the pungent smell of blood assaulted my nostrils, and my stomach churned violently.

The urge to vomit was extremely strong.

But when he felt nauseous, the students' resentment took over, and they forcibly suppressed the urge to vomit.

They hardened their hearts, cast aside all distractions, and ate whatever meat they could get their hands on.

Raw beef is chewier and more difficult to swallow than cooked beef. It can also make your throat feel stuffy and is harder to digest.

It was this last point that led Jackie Chan to specifically choose raw beef.

Jackie Chan wanted something that was difficult to digest, taking a long time to digest, so that trainees would feel full for longer and absorb protein slowly over a longer period.

In wilderness survival, the key is to survive for a long time; taste and other factors are secondary.

Starting with raw beef, and beginning with two pounds of meat, can significantly enhance the trainees' adaptability.

With those two pounds of beef in their stomachs, the trainees wouldn't have any major problems no matter how hard they trained over the next two days.

At most, you'll suffer physically, losing several pounds or even more than ten pounds.

They will be able to recover quickly after the training camp is completed.

It's impossible to say that there's absolutely no impact.

When anything in the world is done to the extreme, especially when it involves breaking through physical limitations and unleashing potential, it will inevitably have some impact on the body.

Special forces soldiers, as the elite of the military, naturally have to pay a price to achieve peak combat effectiveness.

There is no such thing as increasing strength at zero cost.

Apart from Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie, all the other trainees in this group are non-commissioned officers, meaning they have served in the military for more than five years and have a certain understanding of the military.

In fact, a large portion of them were participating in the training camp for the second or even the third time.

They already had some understanding of the training camp, knowing that the purpose of the training was not to torture them for fun, but to select the elite of the elite.

Everyone understands the rule of survival of the fittest.

So even though they were tortured by Jackie Chan in various ways, none of the trainees felt any anger towards him. Their only way of venting was to give him a nickname.

Just want to vent my frustrations and let off steam.

Now that it's time to eat beef, the trainees know it's to train their adaptability, and they are all actively trying to force themselves to do so.

However, people's self-control and adaptability vary.

Some trainees can adapt more quickly, which allows them to improve further, become the elite of the elite, and ultimately reach the other side of success.

However, some trainees have poor adaptability and cannot keep up with the pace of improvement, so they will inevitably be eliminated.

This applies to training as well as eating.

Bai Long is a veteran special forces soldier who enlisted twice, and although two pounds of raw beef made his cheeks ache, it didn't stop him from enjoying his meal.

In less than fifteen minutes, Bailong finished two pounds of raw beef.

As a female soldier who can even eat kerosene, Lone Wolf has absolutely no psychological barriers to eating raw beef. The only limitations on her are the speed of her chewing and the size of her mouth.

As a woman, she was not as good as Haku in this respect, so she ate at a slightly slower pace than Haku.

The total time was sixteen minutes and forty seconds.

This is also the second best result.

Then came the second echelon of soldiers. These trainees all had similar psychological reactions, were all male soldiers, and ate at roughly the same pace.

Most of them were completed within a timeframe of seventeen to nineteen minutes.

After finishing the meal, everyone felt relieved. They sat on the stools with their bellies bulging, feeling uncomfortable all over, as if the beef was stuck in their throats.

The third group of trainees fared much worse.

Only two of them completed the training; the rest did not finish eating within the allotted time, and some even left more than half of their food uneaten.

There were quite a few people, nine in total.

Among them is Xiao Yunjie, who has always been very picky about food.

Jackie Chan said there would be a punishment for those who didn't finish their food, and he definitely meant it.

Just then, the septic tank in the toilet was full of "gold," so Jackie Chan punished the nine trainees by making them carry buckets and scoops to clean the septic tank.

They were all required to jump into the cesspool and finish the work within half an hour.

Otherwise, they wouldn't need to come out at all, and they would sleep in the septic tank at night.

Hearing this punishment...

The faces of the nine trainees turned green!

The physiological reactions that occur when you finish eating and then go to clean a septic tank are something everyone understands, especially when you've eaten too much.

So the nine trainees regretted not trying harder to eat the beef.

Unfortunately, it's too late for regrets.

When the nine trainees arrived at the septic tank and lifted the cover, the pungent smell hit them, and without exception, their stomachs churned violently.

He vomited on the spot.

The small amount of raw beef I had already eaten came up quickly, and I vomited up quite a bit of it.

After being scolded by the instructors and forced to jump into the cesspool, all I could see were wriggling white maggots, and I could feel something soft and squishy on my body.

These trainees vomited even more violently.

Some even vomited up their stomach acid.

At this moment, Xiao Yunjie performed the best. He seemed to have a much stronger resistance to these things and forcibly suppressed his vomiting.

As for those students who had vomited everything, their fate was already sealed at that moment.

Having already gone hungry for a day, there will be no food supply for the next two days; the only thing they can drink is unlimited water.

He has now vomited up all the beef he ate, which means his body has not received any replenishment.

The training ahead will definitely be intense, with no energy replenishment for three consecutive days. Even a god couldn't withstand that.

While nine trainees were being punished, the trainees who had finished eating on time were finally able to get a break.

Although it was only half an hour, the students cherished it immensely.

Jackie Chan did not arrange any training sessions because he did not want any accidents to happen. Training immediately after a full meal could easily lead to an accident.

Resting for half an hour before training can effectively prevent these problems.

Half an hour passed quickly.

After struggling in the septic tank for half an hour, the nine trainees finally cleaned it thoroughly. They only had time for a quick shower and a change of clothes before rushing to the assembly point.

That pungent yet wonderful smell made everyone feel exceptionally refreshed and alert.

Fortunately.

A new round of training began, and the trainees, without much time to process it, plunged into the training and once again experienced the physical torment.

The main focus of the intensive training week is to challenge limits and unleash the trainees' potential.

Those who can endure will stay, and those who cannot will be eliminated.

With two pounds of beef as a foundation for the trainees, Jackie Chan was able to train more freely from then on, focusing on whichever task was the most difficult.

Cross-country races carrying logs, 1000-meter double duck walk, 500-meter double elderly man pushing a cart...

Various familiar yet upgraded training methods can be implemented on the trainees.

Qin Feng, the captain who considered himself to have led a commando team for many years and had a certain understanding of special forces, was still amazed by Jackie Chan's various training methods.

While Lü Tu and Leng Jing were greatly amazed, they were also mourning and worried for the trainees.

Especially when it comes to calmness, I'm genuinely afraid that a student might suddenly die.

There are precedents of people being worked to death.

Unfortunately, her position was too low, and her suggestions to the captain were repeatedly ignored. She could only worry helplessly, completely at a loss.

He could only watch helplessly as more than forty trainees endured a miserable existence day after day under Jackie Chan's various forms of torture.

The number of trainees is decreasing day by day.

After just the second day of training, the number of trainees decreased by four.

All three of them had poor physical condition, and they didn't finish the raw beef for breakfast in time, so they simply couldn't keep going.

Even if they didn't want to leave, their bodies couldn't keep up.

They have fallen far behind in all training, and even if Jackie Chan wanted to keep them, he couldn't, because keeping them would slow down the training progress of the others.

Leaving was inevitable!

With only three days of training already underway, the number of trainees is about to exceed forty, and there is still more than a month of training left.

Even Qin Feng was starting to get restless.

If Jackie Chan continues this training intensity, Qin Feng is genuinely worried that after seven days of grueling training, all fifty trainees will be wiped out by Jackie Chan.

In the end, the large-scale training camp they organized resulted in not a single trainee being selected.

He really couldn't explain this to the Armed Police Headquarters. (End of Chapter)
