Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

The trainees overcame the first hurdle by finding a different approach, which greatly interested everyone in the command center.

"That kid number 27 always likes to play tricks, but I didn't expect him to actually solve the problem. I thought they were going to be stuck here for hours," Cheng Cai laughed.

"He's just icing on the cake; when it comes to real problems, the veterans are the ones who are reliable."

Qin Feng had a different opinion. Although he did not name the veteran, everyone present knew that he was referring to the seeded player, Bai Long.

"I think it's fortunate that Lone Wolf is here; otherwise, with this method, ordinary people wouldn't be able to get up there."

Calmness has always been protective of Lone Wolf, and at this crucial moment of "taking credit," she naturally wants to give Lone Wolf credit.

"Are you all turning into matchmakers, praising your own wares? Don't forget this is just the beginning," Jackie Chan joked.

"The Extreme Survival Week is very difficult, and it's normal for some people to be eliminated. My expected goal is not high; it would be enough if half of them could stay."

Qin Feng picked up his cup and drank his tea again; his calm demeanor was no exaggeration.

"I actually hope they can all stay; I think they're all already very talented," she said calmly and earnestly.

"Extreme Challenge is a combination of strength and luck. How long they can stay is not up to you or me. In the end, it depends on their fate. Let's wait and see."

Jackie Chan's words were the most pertinent, and he shifted the focus back to the students.

The lone wolf successfully climbed to the top of the cliff, lay down there to rest for a minute or two to ease his tired body, and then got up to start making arrangements.

They found a tree by the stream above, tied one end of the rope to it, and threw the other end off the cliff.

With the ropes as a means of climbing, even the slippery rocks had little impact, and the trainees climbed up one after another, holding onto the ropes.

The People's Armed Police Force trains in a variety of "acrobatics," with rope climbing being one of the most fundamental skills.

When they reached the cliff, they were all panting and their clothes were soaked. The trainees chose an open space and began to rest.

Even if there are no spare clothes, you can empty the water from your combat boots and tidy up your wet backpack.

All kinds of work are necessary!

After a few minutes of rest, the students, who had just worked together to overcome difficulties, were faced with an inescapable problem.

That means the journey ahead is long, everyone has their own ideas, and not everyone is willing to stay in a team forever.

See you at the finish line!

Bai Long was the first to stand up and say goodbye. He tossed his backpack aside and before he could finish speaking, he was already several meters away.

Clearly, Bai Long was very confident in his own strength and was unwilling to team up with anyone. To him, the other students were all useless burdens.

Having witnessed Bai Long's abilities, the other trainees were instinctively more willing to team up with him.

Many hands make light work.

Not to mention experts.

Seeing Bai Long leave alone, they couldn't help but complain.

"Who is this person? We were working together so well, and he just left all by himself."

"If we're all together, we can help each other and solve problems together, so why separate?"

"Yeah, it's not like the rules forbid it. If we can avoid being separated, we should try to stay together. Who knows, there might be even more difficult situations later on."

……

The "team-up faction" kept complaining, and some of them, who shared Bai Long's thoughts, were also unhappy to hear them complaining.

"Training is not like going on vacation. A bunch of people huddled together talking all at once is a waste of time."

"Having more people can indeed solve some problems, but it can also bring some problems. People have different ideas, and it's troublesome to decide whose to listen to. It's more comfortable to just go it alone."

"I think it's not good to be alone, and it's not good to be in a group of too many people either. It's best to form a team of two or three people so that you can help each other and not waste time."

"Some people need help, some don't. I don't think I need it. I'm leaving now. See you again someday."

……

Following Bai Long's example, some students didn't team up with anyone; they simply carried their bags alone and headed towards their destination.

Since everyone was heading in the same direction, even though they weren't in a team, they were all moving in the same direction.

Walking together as a group, it does resemble a team.

Yan Poyue was actually quite proud. Seeing that most people hadn't formed teams or gangs, he got up and prepared to walk forward alone.

"Wait, Swallow, wait a minute."

Xiao Yunjie, a supporter of the team-up faction, immediately stopped Yan Poyue.

"What's wrong?"

Yan Poyue turned his head in confusion, wondering what trick Xiao Yunjie was up to.

"Trust me, give me some time."

Xiao Yunjie patted Yan Poyue mysteriously, then turned around and ran with a grin toward Lone Wolf, who was still sitting under the tree and had not left.

"Thirty-one, if I'm not mistaken, you've been to a place like this before, haven't you?"

Xiao Yunjie approached with a beaming smile. Being a cold-on-the-outside-but-warm-on-the-inside lone wolf, he didn't want to be rude to someone who was so friendly, so he nodded calmly and said, "Yes, what's up?"

Seeing that Lone Wolf had responded, Xiao Yunjie immediately rushed over to Yan Poyue's side and enthusiastically invited, "How about the three of us team up? You have experience, and we have strength. It's a perfect team!"

"What are you doing?"

Yan Poyue didn't want to trouble Lone Wolf, and said in a low voice with some dissatisfaction.

"Not interested."

The lone man's answer was also very direct.

Xiao Yunjie was rejected by both of them, but he wasn't unhappy at all.

Instead, she excitedly ran up to Lone Wolf and deliberately squatted down in front of him, boasting, "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. You're a young lady, and this is a primeval jungle. If you encounter poisonous snakes or wild beasts, you'll need someone to help you."

"We two old men may not be good at much else, but we're absolutely top-notch at manual labor. We can definitely protect you perfectly and take good care of you."

Xiao Yunjie spoke eloquently, but Lone Wolf remained unmoved.

"Thanks, but I don't need anyone to take care of me."

Lone Wolf declined Xiao Yunjie's invitation and, not intending to listen any longer, got up to leave.

"Wait, wait, wait a minute."

Xiao Yunjie quickly ran forward to block them. When one tactic failed, he tried another, speaking in a humble tone, "Can we please take care of you? Really, really, we both need your protection."

Xiao Yunjie's shift of power to the weaker party had a remarkable effect, preventing Lone Wolf from forcing his way forward.

Seeing that his words had worked, Xiao Yunjie immediately pressed his advantage, saying, "Besides, we are comrades-in-arms. A brave and kind heroine like you certainly wouldn't want the two of us to be in danger, right?"

Moreover, Captain Qin also said that comrades are the most important thing, and you have to protect them.

Xiao Yunjie's self-deprecating manner was unbearable for the proud Yan Poyue, who interrupted, "Alright, I don't need protection."

"Hey hey hey."

Seeing that Yan Poyue was about to run away again, Xiao Yunjie quickly ran over to stop him and whispered, "Trust me, Yanzi, we can help each other out. She has enough experience, and the three of us as a team can definitely clear the level."

Yan Poyue himself did not want to be eliminated and wanted to stay in the Cheetah Commando.

after all.

Not long after they left, the regiment they had previously served in was disbanded, and being eliminated meant losing their homes.

Without Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie from the senior team, it's a do-or-die situation with no way out.

So even though he was unwilling and felt so inferior, Yan Poyue chose not to resist anymore in order to increase his chances of passing the level.

Lone Wolf may have felt a pang of pity, thinking that without his help, Yan Poyue would be eliminated.

So at this point, he took the initiative to say, "We can work together, but I have one condition: you have to listen to me no matter what happens, because I'm more familiar with jungle survival than you are."

After saying that, the lone wolf strode forward.

Xiao Yunjie finally got the result he wanted, and his mouth immediately stretched into a wide smile. He happily replied loudly, "That's definitely no problem, it's up to you."

Yan Poyue quickened his pace, as if explaining to Lone Wolf that he didn't need protection.

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yunjie quickly covered his mouth and said loudly again, "He also said he has no problem."

Yan Poyue was speechless, glaring at Xiao Yunjie.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yunjie was his good brother, so he could only accept being tricked.

After Xiao Yunjie and his two companions finally formed a team, the other eleven team members left first and have long since disappeared.

Of the eleven team members who went further away, most of them had formed teams with people they knew during the march.

Marching through the primeval jungle during the day is fine, as visibility is good and it's not that dangerous.

Moreover, on the first day, the body still had enough energy, and there were streams everywhere to drink water from.

You don't need to worry about your stomach for now!

They could see poisonous insects and snakes, and take precautions to avoid them. Apart from the discomfort caused by high humidity, the students were quite fast in the early stages.

The only thing that weighed heavily on the trainees' minds was the occasional corpses they encountered along the way.

The identities of these remains are now impossible to trace; they may have come from the expeditionary force during the War of Resistance against Japan, or from the self-defense war more than 20 years ago.

Those who were simply buried back then have all come out after being washed away by natural rain over the years.

When they encounter the remains of these heroic predecessors, no matter how tired or exhausted the trainees are, they will stop and, with the utmost respect, use their military knives to dig a hole in the ground and rebury the remains.

Although we cannot perform a better ritual, at least we cannot leave the remains of our ancestors exposed in the wilderness.

In the blink of an eye.

It got dark.

After nearly ten hours of trekking with very little rest, the trainees continued their journey into the night without taking a break.

Seeing the trainees' condition on the screen, the calm commander in the command center couldn't help but say, "The marching conditions in the primeval jungle are too harsh. It's only been one day, and many people are already on the verge of exhaustion."

The remaining four days will be an unprecedented challenge for them.

Women are always a bit soft-hearted.

Jackie Chan was unsurprised by this and said with a faint smile, "Extreme Survival Week is all about pushing the limits. If you could complete the challenge easily without breaking a sweat, it would lose its meaning."

"These little guys are just fledglings; they still have a lot to learn," Qin Feng said solemnly, agreeing with Jackie Chan's assessment.

"Compared to when my boss and I were in the Amazon, the southwestern jungle is like paradise." Xu Sanduo grinned, revealing his signature big white teeth.

"Amazon? Amazon rainforest?"

Calmly and surprised, she turned around and said, "Back then, I saw a report in the military newspaper that two special forces soldiers participated in the Hunter School's special training and achieved the best results."

That country has a part of the Amazon, so could those two experts be you?

"you guess……"

Xu Sanduo was too naive; he was about to answer when Jackie Chan interrupted him.

"The Amazon is the river in our hometown, we call it the Amazon. We've also heard of the hunter school you mentioned."

Jackie Chan made up a random excuse to brush it off, then changed the subject, saying, "It's already dark, and these pumpkins haven't found a campsite yet. Something might happen tonight. Your medical team needs to be prepared."

"With Lü Tu in charge of the medical team, there shouldn't be any problems."

Having been deliberately led astray by Jackie Chan, Qin Feng followed up on the topic, knowing that if Jackie Chan didn't want to talk about it, there must be a reason why he couldn't.

Calm down certainly didn't believe Jackie Chan's story, but he didn't press the matter further.

Memorizing the secrecy regulations is a fundamental requirement for every soldier!

The trainees, who were about to embark on their first night, knew how dangerous it was to march through the primeval jungle at night.

In order to avoid danger, they ultimately had to accept the fate of being eliminated.

After it got completely dark, most of the trainees chose to find a safe place and try to start a fire to prepare for the night.

Even though Bai Long was fighting alone and leading the charge, he didn't try to be reckless at this moment.

After walking an hour ahead of the other trainees, Bai Long also found a tree hollow, set up some quarantine facilities, and began to rest.

Yan Poyue and the other two walked at the very back, and with Lone Wolf leading the way, they were very safe along the way.

Even as night fell, they did not risk advancing and chose to find a place to rest.

The primeval jungle is home to all sorts of venomous insects, and deadly snakes and ferocious beasts that can devour people alive are everywhere.

Night marches are pitch black and visibility is poor; a single military flashlight won't last long, so they must be used sparingly.

If you accidentally bump into it, it could be a huge problem.

All the trainees wisely chose to rest; the danger was only part of the reason, but the main reason was that the marching time was more than sufficient.

The journey can be completed during the day; there's no need to risk it at night.

The trainees who made it to the final stage are all intelligent people who know exactly what choices to make at what time.

The fact that the trainees did not act recklessly and continue overnight relieved Qin Feng and others in the command center.

After instructing the officer on duty to keep a close watch, Fenfen went back to rest.

After all, there are still unexpected events to come, so it is very necessary for Jackie Chan and the other main actors to be well-rested in advance.
