Chapter 67 In Hell (3)

  Several figures appeared on the training ground, in front of them were several large tents, which was the camp of new recruits. After several days of living under the open sky, the new recruits finally got to sleep in tents. Although the tents couldn't compare with brick houses, at least they didn't have to worry about rain or wind blowing dust. Sleeping outside was most afraid of bad weather, sometimes when it was windy, the wind would bring sand and dust that could be deadly if not detected in time. If the sand and dust entered the respiratory tract, it could also affect their lives.

  The Jungle Wolf and his assistant took a look, then gestured slightly. Several people rummaged through their bags and put on gas masks. The five of them walked quietly towards the five tents. When they reached the entrance, they calmly pulled out tear gas canisters from their bags and threw seven of them inside.

  Xiao Lie was the first to discover something unusual in the tent. When he felt a stimulating gas rushing into his airway, he immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Enemy attack!"

  In the darkness, he suddenly opened his eyes to find that something had stimulated his eyeballs, a sharp pain suddenly transmitted to his brain, and he suddenly realized that he had been gassed.

  "Don't open your eyes, there's gas."

  The newbies naturally understood what this was about and knew the severity of it, so for a while they could only grope in the dark to dress and find equipment. When Xiao Lie opened the door of the tent, he felt as if his chest had hit something, and a fierce force pushed him back, causing several newbies behind him to fall to the ground.

  "The entrance is blocked." Xiao Lie shouted.

  There were four other tents in the same situation as his.

  The Jungle Wolf was very satisfied with the result, hearing the newbies coughing non-stop in the tent, but no one called out. He looked at the time, only two minutes had passed, and there were still three minutes left, he really didn't know if these guys could hold on for five minutes in such an environment. He knew that people would be very uncomfortable in tear gas, which was why police from various countries liked to use it when dispersing crowds, not looking at the large crowd of protesters, just throwing a few tear gas canisters inside and the crowd would immediately disperse.

  Wow!

  The Jungle Wolf heard a sound, he didn't need to guess that it was the sound of the tent being torn open. He turned his head and saw that one person had already come out of the tent with their equipment on their back, followed by a second person, and then a third person.

  The gray wolf was just about to go drink when the forest wolf suddenly blocked his way and said, "How interesting."

  Xiao Lie came out of the tent and suddenly felt a gust of fresh air rushing towards him. He coughed and greedily inhaled this air, although he had held his breath earlier, some gas still entered his nostrils, making him uncomfortable.

  Five minutes later, except for the people in Xiao Lie's tent who came out early, the remaining four tents were released after a full five minutes. The people who were released were all coughing and gasping for breath.

  "Assembly!"

  A gathering brings everyone together in front of the pack of wolves, then lines up.

  "Haven't you woken up yet?" said the Jungle Wolf, then he made a gesture.

  At this time, four high-power spotlights from different directions suddenly shone on the center of the team. At that moment, when the new recruits encountered strong light in the dark, they involuntarily narrowed their eyes. The feeling was as if a strong light suddenly made one's vision turn white, and nothing could be seen. However, the new recruits still stood upright there.

  One minute later, the Jungle Wolf made another gesture. Two fire trucks had stopped on both sides of the team at some point in time. After receiving the Jungle Wolf's command, the people on the fire truck immediately opened the water gun and then the huge water gun rushed towards the new recruits. The water column coming out of the high-pressure water gun was no less than a storm, and the water was icy cold. The water flow entered the body from the collar in an instant, making the new recruits feel a chill to the bone.

  The temperature is three degrees, this may be the shortest storm in the world, the purpose is to make you sober again, but also to tell you that a soldier will encounter many different situations, however, what you need to learn is to overcome all natural conditions.

  "Are you awake?" the Jungle Wolf cried out.

  "Ah-ha!" exclaimed the newlyweds.

  At this moment, if you say you're still not awake, it's a brain-dead behavior.

  "Who you are, what your names are, is not important. What's important is that you become a true soldier of China. On this path, there is no shortcut. The road ahead will be increasingly difficult and arduous, even life-threatening. And the most important thing I'll do is to eliminate each and every one of you, because I don't want trash, because trash on the battlefield will get your comrades killed!"

  Five minutes later, the water was already knee-deep for the newcomers.

  "Everyone is bowing down to me."

  Upon hearing the command, no one hesitated and then suddenly plunged into the water. In the low temperature, some people involuntarily shivered.

  "Advance cautiously! Flagpole one kilometer ahead."

  Crawling forward is a way for soldiers to cross the extreme zone on the battlefield, requiring reasonable coordination of limbs, while maintaining good visibility and controlling equipment during advancement. This belongs to the compulsory course of every army, but today no one guides you how low to crawl, nor teaches you how to maintain your line of sight in the rain. When the soldiers just advanced, a machine gun fired from an assault vehicle not far away, causing some new recruits to tense up immediately. Although it's said that special forces are extremely abnormal during training, but when personally experienced, it's a different story. Many people excel in this subject, crawling back and forth under the iron net without any problem, but this time it was the same, with no iron wire above their heads, everyone wished they could stick their bodies to the ground and slither away like snakes.

  When the machine gun sounded, Xiao Lie saw Yang Xian's head still held high, he immediately pressed his head down, at this time a bullet hit Yang Xian's backpack, and it was pierced through.

  "It's real bullets." Yang Xian said, then his body suddenly stuck to the ground and crawled forward.

  Rumble!

  A loud explosion was followed by a sudden tremor of the ground, and then mud and stones fell from the sky, hitting the new recruits' backpacks with a rustling sound. It was live ammunition! Some new recruits were startled by this shell, and suddenly understood why someone had clearly told them before entering T5 that the training there was real combat, and if it was real combat, death would occur. If they were timid, they could quit, because the closer to the end, the higher the chance of death.

  No one said anything about setting a time limit, but everyone's movements didn't dare to slow down, because the Jungle Wolf only faintly said on the side: "The last one, eliminated!"

  (PS: Many years ago, I was like you, just a new recruit, not ready to accept this sudden test, didn't know what would happen next second, and didn't know if I could hold on for the next second. I still remember our first crawl forward when there were still over 100 meters left, then someone in front stood up and ran towards the finish line, and the people behind followed suit. We paid the price for that, our price was each carrying heavy loads and sprinting for 15 kilometers. Remember! Not running, but sprinting. In the end, we were exhausted like a dog, lying on the ground, only breathing out, but after that, we knew what it meant to pay the price.)

  How far is one kilometer? Except for sniper rifles, there are no assault rifles that can shoot up to a kilometer. How far is one kilometer? If you drive, it's just a few dozen seconds. How far is one kilometer? If you walk at a moderate pace, you can get there in about 12 minutes. But for new recruits, it seems like an endless distance, without knee pads, elbow pads, or gloves, not only feeling cold under the pouring water guns, but also feeling pain when their bodies collide with the gravel and sand. And as they near the end, their physical strength is depleted even more, and some joints start to get bruised, yet no one dares to slow down their movements. They've even forgotten that their palms are already worn out.

  If this is hell, it's just the first floor.

  As they approached the flagpole, Xiao Lie gritted his teeth and glanced at Yang Xian, Tan Hongzhong, and Lei Haolin following behind him. Here, physical fitness was crucial, but personal willpower was equally important. Without a strong personal will, even with excellent physical fitness, one would eventually choose to give up over time. Although Xiao Lie's physical fitness wasn't the best, his willpower was evident for all to see. No matter what, he always chose to charge forward, sometimes seeming like he was about to collapse, but in the next second, he'd spring back to life like a cockroach that couldn't be killed. Behind him, three people would always follow closely, despite being from different troops, they were connected by one event. During the first selection, Xiao Lie single-handedly saved everyone in the prisoner-of-war camp, but only Yang Xian, Tan Hongzhong, and Lei Haolin remained. These three weren't foolish; they knew why they'd been allowed to stay. Initially, the four of them formed a team, with the other three covering for Xiao Lie, who was captured. Later, Xiao Lie did something that left T5 stunned - he infiltrated the prisoner-of-war camp under heavy guard to rescue his comrades. This moved Lan Yanguang deeply, and he approved the three to continue training, warning that if there were any further issues, they'd be expelled without hesitation. As a result, the three always stuck close to Xiao Lie during both training and rest periods, even though Xiao Lie was just a low-ranking soldier, while Tan Hongzhong and Lei Haolin, who held higher ranks, followed him like new recruits following their squad leader.
