Chapter Six: A Special Gift

  The sudden sound of the assembly whistle awakened the sleeping soldiers.

  Ye Tianming hehe... smiled, and indeed did not exceed this old man's expectations. With just a pinch of fingers, it could be calculated that there would definitely be an emergency assembly tonight.

  "Damn it, can't a person even live in peace? Just fell asleep and now we have to rush for an emergency drill."

  "Zhou Jiang, don't complain anymore, this is the only way it should be. These three months haven't been easy, otherwise I would have been really disappointed in this place." "Hehe Blue Sword, undefeated legend of the world's special forces, I'm really looking forward to future training."

  "Cut it out, Ye Tianming! You're really a cheap skull!" After finishing, Zhou Jiangchong raised his middle finger at him.

  Such a loud thunder couldn't wake them up, but just a small whistle could make them wake up from deep sleep at the first time. This is also because they had deeply engraved this kind of whistle in the deepest part of their soul since they joined the army.

  Ye Tianming looked at his comrades who were still dressing with a pleased expression, then jumped out of bed, grabbed his backpack and weapon, and walked outside in a leisurely manner.

  The rain grew heavier, Zhao Weidong stood upright in the center of the playground, behind him was a convertible Jeep with Liu Bing and Wang Feng sitting on it. On the car was mounted an 02-style 14.5mm single-barrel high-speed machine gun. The gun consisted of five parts: tungsten-core armor-piercing incendiary tracer bullets; armor-piercing explosive incendiary bullets; high and low dual-purpose sighting mirror; and high-speed machine gun mounting device, etc. It could fire 995 rounds of armor-piercing explosive incendiary bullets and 1250 rounds of tungsten-core armor-piercing incendiary tracer bullets per second, with an effective range of 2000m.

  The first one to come out was Ye Tianming. Ye Tianming looked up at the rainy sky, a sly smile spreading across his face as he thought to himself, "I wonder who's going to be unlucky enough to get eliminated tonight." He also wondered if Old Wang would be able to make it through. After finishing his thoughts, he tightened his backpack and ran to stand in front of Zhao Weidong. In less than three minutes, all the team members had gathered.

  "Zhao Weidong gazed at the crowd in front of him with a cold, stern look and said: 'I'm sure you're all cursing me in your hearts, right? And yet I still make you train on a rainy day like today. But that's okay, as long as I don't hear it, you'll be lucky; if I do, then you'll be the unlucky ones.'"

  He pointed to the artificial jungle in the east and said, "Do you see that? The country invested nearly 10 billion US dollars to build a primitive jungle in the desert, as well as a swamp, so that you can adapt to various environments. Various poisonous insects and animals are raised inside, although it can't be compared to a real primitive jungle, but the danger level is absolutely higher than a real primitive jungle.

  "You will be training somewhere today, and I want to let you know what a real battlefield is like. To make you feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, I have specially prepared special gifts for you. There are various landmines and tripwires buried everywhere, as well as traps that kill prey."

  "You are all special elites from various troops, having received different special training. Therefore, I won't let you sit in the classroom to learn those useless theories anymore. To be able to kill enemies on the battlefield and keep yourself alive, it's not those useless theories but real combat experience that matters. A true soldier must possess a killer aura and an unstoppable momentum, which cannot be possessed without being tempered by blood and fire."

  "We each have different desires in our hearts, wanting to satisfy our own selfish desires, and we all have to pay a price for it, even if it's our lives. Don't doubt what I'm saying, haven't any of you ever thought about becoming heroes or generals? Or having wealth that would last several lifetimes, and owning the most beautiful women in the world? But if you don't pay a price, how can you possibly have these things?"

  "You are now a pile of scrap iron, I will temper you into fine steel and forge you into a sharp sword. When you march onto the battlefield, you must be as sharp as a sword, making the enemy tremble with fear."

  "After finishing speaking, he shouted: Ye Tianming."

  Ye Tianming was taken aback, damn it, why did you call me first? Did I provoke you or something? After thinking for a moment, he still responded with a shout: "Coming!"

  "Ye Tianming, you are the captain of the first squad, and you will select its members."

  "Yes. Ye Tianming sneaked a smile, thinking to himself with satisfaction, damn it, I'm actually the team leader now, this is great. What he didn't know was that his hardships had just begun."

  "If he knew that Zhao Weidong was testing him and then taking care of him personally, even if you beat him to death, he wouldn't agree to be the captain with such arrogance. Being forthright isn't his style, stabbing in the back is what he loves most."

  "Ye Tianming shouted: Wang Jianbo, Zhou Jiang, Leng Yu, Wang Honglei, Guo Wei, Zhang Haijun, step forward."

  "Yes, with six people added to Ye Tianming, it makes a total of seven people in one small team. The remaining people were also divided into twenty-three small teams."

  "Zhao Weidong saw that the team had been formed and said: On the east side of the forest, there is a 120-meter cliff with a red flag inserted on it. Your mission is to capture the flag, and you can attack each other."
