Chapter 509: The Journey
Regardless of whether the eliminated people are really convinced or falsely convinced, they have nothing to do with the results of the test. Here, Cheng Yanming is the one who really has the final say, and his attitude just now is already obvious: Whether you understand it or not, I will not change my decision, and there is no need to explain anything to you.
After a brief commotion, those whose names were called had to accept the result of being eliminated, and one by one silently returned to their tents to pack their backpacks, and then, at dinner, went to the cafeteria to eat the most meal in the camp.
The food of this meal was much better than the previous meal, it turned out to be six dishes and one soup, and it was mainly meat. It seems that Cheng Yanming is not a stingy person, and the last supper is still bloody. Thanks to them, Cheng Zhichao, Zhao Jiyong and others finally ate their first meat meal in the camp.
After dinner, those people silently returned to their tents and took out their backpacks and luggage, and the special brigade had already prepared more than a dozen trucks, which were parked not far away. These people looked back at the camp, then at Cheng Zhichao, the lucky ones, and finally bit their lipes and jumped into the car without saying a word. During the whole process, no one from the special brigade stood up to organize, but the order was not chaotic at all.
-- They have been eliminated, and the only thing they can do is to leave with dignity.
Cheng Zhichao and the others did not return to the tent, and watched them leave the camp before returning to their residence with a light sigh. When those people left, their faces were very unsightly, and this atmosphere seemed to be contagious, which made Cheng Zhichao and the others feel bad. After returning to the tent, they each sat in front of their own shops, and even the most lively and active Zhao Jiyong closed his lips as if he had taken dumb medicine, and did not say a word.
Finally, it was time to turn off the lights. Everyone opened their beds and lay down, but everyone did not close their eyes, and they all looked at the tent with wide eyes.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
The next day, the weather was not very good, it was a cloudy day, and it looked like it might rain.
Cheng Zhichao and others were gathered together again. Yesterday there were about 400 people in the queue, but now there are only 1670 people left, and more than 60 percent of the candidates have been eliminated in the first round of psychological testing.
Although I sympathize with those comrades who have been eliminated, I still have to live my own life. Today is the day when the Eight Classics are more serious, so although Cheng Zhichao and the others still did not get rid of the influence of the bad mood after the lights went out last night, they still slept relatively early, and the queue of 160 or 70 people looked much sparser, but Cheng Yanming was very satisfied.
He's still at the front, and it's not the same as tomorrow. This special operations captain was not wearing a regular uniform today, but a camouflage uniform, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and his face was even smeared with camouflage oil paint. The person standing behind him was also different from yesterday, Chen Yu didn't know where he went, so he changed two non-commissioned officers to him as a foil. The faces of the two brothers were also covered with bells and whistles, and one of them was wearing a gilly suit made of rags. No matter how you look at it, today's Cheng Yanming and the officers and men of the special brigade finally look a little like special forces.
Cheng Yanming held a map-like thing in his right hand. After lightly tapping twice on the palm of his left hand, he looked at Cheng Zhichao and the others with a spring breeze on his face and said loudly: "Comrades. It's a pleasure to see you all here. After yesterday's test, I believe that all those who remain are the best soldiers. I love to bring good soldiers like you. But alas, this time, only thirty of you can be taken away by me. ”
Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong secretly glanced at each other in the crowd, and they both saw from each other's eyes that they felt extreme disdain for Cheng Yanming's pretending.
Cheng Yanming didn't see the eyes of the two of them. Therefore, the interest in pretending to be undiminished continued, and he continued with a smile: "I think everyone knows that the soldiers selected from among you are going to join the special combat team directly. So I have only one request, and that is. Pick out the best among you and the most suitable soldiers of our special combat team as much as possible, more than 100 people, compete for these 30 places, the competition is very fierce, do you have the confidence to stand out in the next selection? ”
"Yes!" Of course, no one answered the word "no". More than 100 people let go of their throats and shouted out the word "yes" loudly, which was really imposing.
Cheng Yanming nodded with satisfaction, and the smile on his face was even more kind: "Okay, everyone just has this confidence." Let me first explain that even those twenty people may not be able to truly become my soldiers in the end. Because the selection often carries some element of luck. Below, I will give you a brief explanation of the subjects selected this time. ”
Cheng Zhichao and the others' eyes became hot, and their ears were quietly erected, and they missed a word.
I saw Cheng Yanming raise the map in his hand and said slowly: "There is a map here, and each of you will get one in a while." According to the direction marked by Gu's drawing, if you march fifteen kilometers in a hurry, you will see a forest. It's a real primeval jungle, I don't want you to do any map work, and I don't want you to find any quest items. You only have one task, and that is to make your way through that primeval jungle, and there is a parking lot across the street, and I will be waiting for you there. Well, it's an easy task, right? ”
Cheng Zhichao was secretly surprised in his heart, when he was fine, he also saw some things in this regard from TV and novels. It seems that what it says is that you can only pass the guò assessment after you have to do something, and that task is often surprisingly difficult, and even the protagonist almost failed, and finally reluctantly completed the task with the protagonist's aura and character explosion. In the process of completing the task, there will even be pure masters who are much better than the protagonist in military and physical qualities because of some accident and can no longer continue, and then selflessly use their own withdrawal to fulfill the protagonist. How did you get to Cheng Yanming, which is completely different from what is said there?
Looking at Zhao Jiyong again, he was also confused.
It's not just the two of them, but everyone else is also puzzled - the special operations brigade of the special forces team selects special forces, and it doesn't involve map work, nor does it look for mission items, but just passes through a primeval bush to settle the matter?
Cheng Yanming seemed to see through what everyone was thinking. Smirked: "You must think I'm joking, right?" Here, I would like to tell you very strictly, don't be influenced by those things that are not marginal, and think that the selection of special forces must have some tasks. Those things will inevitably be learned in the training process in the future, and if you are asked to do it now, you may not be able to do it well. Time is wasted. What Lao Tzu lacks most now is time. ”
After he sighed, he continued: "I want to remind everyone that you must not think that this mission is very simple, because in the primeval jungle, in addition to the three ordinary companies of the special brigade, there are two special operations detachments that are already waiting for you there. Their task is to capture you alive, of course. If you accidentally miss your hand, I'm afraid you will also have some small dangers. In this selection, the superiors gave a total of ten death places, so you must be more careful. ”
"Damn!" Cheng Zhichao was secretly shocked in his heart, not to mention the three ordinary special companies, just those two special operations detachments, it was more than enough to deal with them in the primeval jungle.
At the same time, he immediately understood why this selection only allowed them to pass through the primordial bush, and did not arrange for them to do anything. Those two special operations detachments. It is undoubtedly the trump card in Cheng Yanming's hand, jungle combat. It's what they do best. And although Cheng Zhichao and the others were outstanding elites in the original unit, their ability to fight in the jungle was not a little worse than others. If a large number of tasks are assigned to them, I am afraid that there will be no one who can pass the selection of these 160 or 70 people.
"Alright, that's it. You all know what you should do, right? The rest of the time is reserved for you, and you have five minutes to ask me questions and ask me all the things that you don't understand. Now start the timer. After Cheng Yanming finished speaking, he looked at the watch on his wrist.
"Report!"
"Speak."
"There are so many people in the woods in ambush, how can we break through with our bare hands?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Weapons and identification will be distributed to you in a moment. They will not show mercy until you wait, and in the same way, you don't need to be polite to them, whether you can break through or not depends on your ability. ”
"Report!" An air lieutenant asked loudly again: "Chief, what if none of our more than 100 people have access to the primeval jungle?" ”
"I've thought about this too. If you are accidentally captured alive, someone will inform me of your identity according to your identification, and I will keep the last thirty people who are captured, and the others can leave. There is also a situation where you can resist in the jungle and kill the most enemies, and even if you are not the last to be caught, I will give priority to staying. In short, if you want to pass this selection, strength is the most important thing, and luck only accounts for a very small percentage. ”
Cheng Zhichao smiled slightly, thinking that this captain Cheng didn't have any affection for those who didn't pass the psychological test, and took care of us, even if the whole army was wiped out, he would pull out thirty big ones in the slur. It's just that I heard that every time the special brigade is selected, forty people are selected to participate in the next stage of training, why are only thirty people selected this time? Are there still ten slots reserved for others?
Combined with the inside information that Lu Zhuo got from his daughter-in-law, the more Young Master Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that there should be ten more places reserved for the soldiers of the ordinary company of the Special Brigade. Originally, under normal circumstances, soldiers of ordinary companies of special forces rarely had the opportunity to participate in the selection and training of special combat teams. However, this year's situation was special, and one of the original three detachments of the special combat team was almost wiped out by others while carrying out its mission, and Cheng Yanming urgently needed to recruit another group of people to supplement it, so he had to relax the conditions for selection, and at least leave a dozen or so people behind to reorganize that detachment.
As long as that detachment is formed, the next thing will be easy to do, and the big deal is not to let this detachment carry out its tasks first, leaving a one-year-two, or even two-year-old assessment period, and even adopting the last elimination system, and the person who ranks last in the results will be directly topped by the person selected next year. In this way, in a few years, that detachment will have a complete blood change, and slowly re-establish its combat effectiveness.
Therefore, those ten places must be reserved for ordinary companies, although ordinary companies cannot be compared with special operations detachments, they are better in a familiar environment, and there are many masters with unique skills. gave them a surprise, maybe it can really surprise Cheng Yanming.
After figuring this out, Cheng Zhichao suddenly felt a little deflated, originally he was still holding back his strength to show his heart, but suddenly found that he was just a spare tire in Cheng Yanming's eyes. This kind of blow. For Cheng Zhichao, who has not suffered much setbacks, it is simply unbearable.
Just when he was thinking nonsense there, Cheng Yanming had already answered several people's questions, and when he saw that no one stood up to ask questions again, he couldn't help laughing: "Since everyone has no problems, let's get ready to start." Xiao Song, send them equipment. ”
The special forces in the gilly suit behind him answered, beckoned into the distance, and the two trucks drove out very abruptly. This truck is just that ordinary military truck. I didn't see any camouflage on the body, but none of the more than 100 people present noticed that there were two trucks parked just over 200 meters away from them. When Cheng Zhichao and others saw these two trucks, they immediately raised their vigilance.
Under their noses, if people can hide these two trucks tightly, then in the jungle, those special forces waiting for them are bound to be even more difficult to find. People are in the dark, and they are in the light. Before this battle began, the special brigade had already gained the upper hand.
After the truck stopped in front of everyone. Several people jumped out of the car and pulled the canvas covering the carriage, and then two people jumped into the car, and then they threw their backpacks from the car.
Cheng Yanming pointed to the backpacks and said, "This backpack contains maps, compasses, food, emergency callers, and your identification marks. As for your weapons, you will be given one automatic rifle per person later. five magazines of one hundred and fifty rounds; One pistol, five magazines and forty-five rounds. And then there's a dagger, and that's all you have. For the sake of fairness, the people in the woods are equipped exactly like you. There are no heavy weapons. The gun has been specially modified, and on you, there is a signal transmitter. Once you are hit, the transmitter will automatically activate and transmit the number to my command vehicle, which means your death. Those who have died in battle should withdraw from the selection at once and stand still and wait for someone to come and receive your identification. If you can kill your opponent, you can collect his identification and give it to me after the selection is over. Since you don't have much experience in jungle warfare, this time the Special Brigade side is not equipped with snipers, which should be the best news I can bring you. ”
In the next half hour, the people of the special brigade distributed the various equipment selected this time to Cheng Zhichao and others one by one. Cheng Yanming looked at his watch again, and said with a stern face: "It's 8:49 a.m. Beijing time, give you ten minutes to sort out your equipment, and at 8:59, you will officially set off, and according to the direction marked on the map, march 15 kilometers to the designated location." Speaking of this, a wicked smile appeared on his face: "Remember, there is only one entrance, and anyone who enters the forest from anywhere other than the entrance will be judged as a violation and will be automatically disqualified." In addition, you only have one hour, and after an hour, the entrance will be closed, and those who do not enter the forest will also be disqualified. ”
When everyone heard this, their faces changed greatly, and after receiving the equipment, they also wanted to study it carefully to see what kind of equipment the special forces used, and after listening to Cheng Yanming's words, everyone sped up their actions and put the equipment on themselves.
Those pieces of equipment don't sound like much, that's because Cheng Yanming didn't say everything, and after all the equipment was sent, Cheng Zhichao found that what Cheng Yanming said was just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to the things he said, there were water bottles, coaching grenades, first aid kits, etc., and even everyone had to be given a brand new pair of liberation shoes. Taken together, the weight of all kinds of equipment has exceeded twenty-five kilograms.
Zhao Jiyong's movements were faster than Cheng Zhichao's, and when Cheng Zhichao was buckling his backpack and waist buckle, Zhao Jiyong had already walked to his side in full armor, carrying the automatic rifle in his hand: "Is it over, let's go together?" ”
"Nonsense, don't go together or go separately?" Cheng Zhichao adjusted the position of the backpack and tightened the buckle again: "Carrying forty or fifty pounds of equipment, marching fifteen kilometers in an hour, it's really a shame that this guy can think of it." When we get to the place, it is estimated that we don't need to be beaten by others, and we are tired to death. ”
"Well, I also think this guy must have escaped from some mental hospital. But for the sake of your brother's lifelong happiness, you just grit your teeth and stand up, and after the big deal, I'll treat you to a big meal. ”
"With your stipend, which month can you spend until the end of the month, invite me to a big dinner...... It's been a year, have you ever invited me to eat a bowl of jajangmyeon? ”
Zhao Jiyong blushed: "Then you can't blame me, who let me not have your good luck and ask for a rich wife." ”
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, help me get the backpack, I don't know how to fuck it, this backpack is very uncomfortable to carry on my body."
"Well, you'll see. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me quickly, I promise to serve you properly. (To be continued......)
