Chapter 1576 Qin Yuan’s test before special training
Qin Yuan watched the struggles and difficulties displayed by these recruits in adapting to the load-bearing firearms, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, obviously satisfied with their performance.
But Qin Yuan knew that more training was needed to make these recruits truly reliable warriors.
"Follow me." Qin Yuan ordered briefly, and then led them to a training area surrounded by jungles and swamps.
In this hidden place, no one would have thought that he would choose to conduct the next training session here.
"Crawling in the quagmire." He said simply.
The training program is simple and straightforward. The team members must cross a swamp and quagmire, maintaining a crawling posture throughout the process. The muddy ground is covered with sharp stones and hidden weeds. Any careless movement may cause pain.
To make matters even more desperate, guns and sandbags will sink into the mud, making every step extremely heavy.
The recruits began to move forward step by step in the quagmire. The mud was as stubborn as glue and entangled with each other. Their hands could hardly explore the ground below, and every time they exerted force, the rusty stones would cut their palms.
The stench and stickiness of the water made every breath difficult for them, and the cold environment and constant attacks of mosquitoes made the entire training feel like a hell.
However, this was not the worst. Qin Yuan arranged for several veterans to fire continuously a few meters away, causing successive explosions and splashing mud.
Although these practices are scary, more importantly, they allow recruits to learn how to concentrate, not to be disturbed, and to move forward in extremely stressful and harsh environments.
Several times, the recruits stopped subconsciously, hesitating and struggling in their hearts. Some even looked at Qin Yuan seeking help.
But every time at this time, Qin Yuan's calm eyes always made them understand that any complaints and withdrawals were useless.
Continuing to crawl, the mud becomes thicker and heavier, and every step seems to be competing with nature. Sweat, mud and blood are mixed together, and no one can tell which kind of liquid is flowing on their face.
Qin Yuan coldly observed the movements of each recruit, as if waiting for their limit to come.
A recruit staggered forward, his palms cut with sharp stones and dripping with blood. Every time he exerted force, his movements became slower and more careful, but the perseverance in his eyes did not diminish.
Suddenly, a rapid shout came from the front, and another recruit tripped over a sharp stone in the quagmire and lay on the ground in misery.
"Stand up!" Qin Yuan shouted coldly, with undoubted majesty in his voice.
The recruit didn't say anything in rebuttal. Although his whole body was shaking, he still gritted his teeth, struggled to stand up again, and continued to move forward. His movements became obviously more determined and heavier.
Qin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then walked to a hidden place and released a button.
In an instant, a dense steel wire mesh was surrounding the training ground, and then temporary fire points on both sides began to simulate enemy fire attacks.
Fire and smoke filled the air, and explosions roared in the ears, turning the entire training ground into a gray microcosm of the battlefield.
"This is an environment you must adapt to!" Qin Yuan shouted loudly. He hoped that the recruits would find their own rhythm, adapt to the pressure and stay calm in this extreme environment.
The recruits continued to crawl forward in the flames of the explosion, trying to hold back the roar in their ears and always keeping a low profile to avoid "enemy" fire.
Sometimes, the quagmire would be exploded because they failed to avoid it in time, and mud would splash all over their bodies, but they never stopped.
Gradually, time seemed to have stopped, and the sound of explosions in their ears became the only rhythm for the recruits. The arrangement of barbed wire fences and firepower points forced them to find their own balance point in an extremely oppressive environment. Everyone's face was filled with tears.
While dripping liquid mixed with mud and blood and sweat, their eyes were extremely determined.
Qin Yuan stood aside and quietly observed all this. He knew that this step was just the beginning. Long-term psychological and physical torture would invisibly create a real warrior.
The recruits were already moving forward mechanically with their hands almost unable to feel the pain, but in the process their willpower gradually condensed into a shield wall that would not be easily broken through.
When the last recruit finally climbed over the finish line of the quagmire, Qin Yuan nodded slightly, and then he pointed to a dense forest not far away. The recruits could hardly believe their eyes. Their suffering was not over yet.
.
"Follow me!" Qin Yuan waved his arms and led the team into the woods without hesitation.
He was walking at the front of the team. The dense woods blocked the sunlight so much that there was almost no gap. The whole environment seemed gloomy and depressing.
The ground under his feet was covered with layers of decaying leaves and dead branches, and there was a slight breaking sound with every step. He stopped and turned to face the recruits.
"Next, we have to conduct forest pursuit training." Qin Yuan said calmly, his eyes cold.
The recruits looked confused. Their bodies were exhausted from the quagmire training just now. Qin Yuan's eyes showed no mercy. He directed several veterans to take out some black cloth strips from their backpacks. Then, each of the recruits were covered.
Eye.
"You have to rely on other senses to judge the direction and move forward without sight." Qin Yuan explained, "Everyone has a specific path. Your task is to avoid the veterans' pursuit and succeed.
Reach the designated target point."
A siren-like whistle suddenly sounded in the woods. Qin Yuan put down the whistle in his hand: "Start!"
The blindfolded recruits took tentative steps like newborn deer, trying to sense the direction by touch and hearing.
The veterans acted quickly in the dark like hunters, using soft footsteps and small noises to catch the movements of the new recruits.
Some recruits ran into tree trunks because they lost all sense of direction, while more acted in a hurry after hearing the veterans' movements, tripping over branches or being grabbed by a sudden hand.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! They struggled and tried with all their strength to escape from the hands of the veterans, but they counterattacked countless times but were ruthlessly suppressed.
Qin Yuan watched these recruits move with difficulty in the woods, and he could see every mistake and struggle. He knew that this kind of extreme environmental oppression and endless difficult challenges can truly train their iron will.
method.
One of the recruits stumbled among the dense tree roots and was half buried on the ground covered with fallen leaves. He struggled hard and tried to stand up again, but this scene did not escape the eyes of the veterans.
The veteran pounced on him like a cheetah and tied his hands behind his back. The recruit was unable to move and was forced to accept the reality of failure.
"What are you here to learn?" Qin Yuan walked up to the recruits and asked coldly.
The recruit lowered his head, panted, and said in a weak but firm voice: "Learn not to give in, instructor."
In response to this answer, Qin Yuan just nodded coldly, turned around and continued to observe the performance of other recruits.
In fact, Qin Yuan had not thought about how many people could complete today's training, and he did not even set any targets, because he knew that with the strength of these recruits, it was impossible to achieve it.
But he still chose to do this, naturally to let them know what it takes to become such a warrior.
Finally, after about an hour, all the new soldiers were captured by the veterans arranged by Qin Yuan.
"Tell me, can you continue with this kind of training? If you regret it and want to give up, I won't object!"
Qin Yuan's voice was very loud, and the scene fell into silence.
Before the training ended, many people did have some complaints in their hearts, but at this moment, Qin Yuan gave them a chance to regret, but no one said anything.
This silence lasted for several minutes, and Qin Yuan did not urge him. He just stood there and waited quietly. When the results were obtained, he would be dismissed!
The mud on the body has dried, and the dry and cracked feeling on the skin is very uncomfortable, and even movements have become difficult.
But they all seemed to have forgotten everything else, and only Qin Yuan's words were constantly lingering in their minds.
"I don't regret it! I want to continue!"
As the first person made a decision, others soon followed suit.
As expected by Qin Yuan, none of these people chose to give up, which made Qin Yuan very pleased.
"Very good. I'm very satisfied with your answers. That's it for today. What I want to tell you is that as long as I still lead you, the intensity of future training will not be lower than today's!"
After announcing the dissolution, Qin Yuan left alone. Since none of them regretted it, Qin Yuan would have to make various preparations in the coming days.
After Qin Yuan left, the recruits finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the physical pain suddenly hit them.
The veterans who were temporarily assigned by Qin Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly when they saw them like this.
"Stop sitting here and come with us. Your instructor has already prepared a medicated bath for you. Otherwise, if you do this every day, you will get sick sooner or later."
Hearing this, all the recruits immediately became energetic and expressed that Qin Yuan was too talkative.
However, when they came to the bathhouse and took a medicinal bath, the alcohol-laced medicinal bath made them wail loudly.
The next day, Qin Yuan came to the playground and saw that the recruits had already gathered and were waiting for Qin Yuan.
Although the injuries on their bodies have not fully recovered, they are much better than the bloody appearance yesterday.
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Qin Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
Taking them to a forest far away from the troops, Qin Yuan announced: "Today, you will conduct a 48-hour survival training in this virgin forest. The goal is to find and return to the base without food and water.
Just a knife and your wits."
The recruits looked at each other, but no one flinched. Qin Yuan led them into the depths of the jungle. The endless trees made people feel like they were lost in the green sea.
At the designated starting point, Qin Yuan separated everyone, with no more than two people in each group, to ensure that everyone could face the challenge independently.
"Remember, here you can only rely on yourself and the only resources you have, let's start!"
The recruits quickly dispersed, and their figures were gradually hidden. The sun hung high in the sky, and the scorching sunlight penetrated the leaves. Steam began to rise from the ground, and the temperature and humidity were constantly testing their endurance.
Qin Yuan watched silently as the recruits' backs gradually disappeared into the jungle. Then he turned and walked in the other direction. That was a surveillance post to ensure the safety of the recruits, but would never interfere with their tasks.
Two hours later, the scorching sun in the jungle has begun to dry and scorch the air, and there are rustling sounds among the leaves, as if to add to the challenge of the new recruits.
At this time, a recruit named Liu Qiang was carefully flipping through a patch of wolfsbane, trying to avoid the sharp thorns on the shrub.
Liu Qiang was concentrating on avoiding the thorns on the shrubs when he suddenly felt thirsty. He touched his chapped lips and cast his gaze towards the creek in the distance.
According to the training rules, he knew that the water source in this forest might be unreliable and he had to find a way to purify it.
He began to search for materials around him, cut off some bamboo tubes with a knife, filtered them briefly with bark and soil, and picked up some brick red soil that was common in the jungle, and poured the water into the bamboo tubes.
Although this method is crude, it can finally make the water less full of scum in a short period of time.
After drinking the water, Liu Qiang began to look for energy sources. He found some insects on the ground. These terrible foods in the past became his only reliable energy supply.
After quickly memorizing the wild survival skills he had learned in the past few days, Liu Qiang began to catch a few fat grasshoppers, briefly processed them with a knife, and ate them alive.
Qin Yuan stood at a sentry post in the distance, carefully observing Liu Qiang's every move with a telescope. As night fell, low temperatures began to invade, and the endurance of the recruits would be tested by the cold.
His eyes turned to another direction, which was where Jiang Hai was. Jiang Hai was a recruit with a slightly thin body, but he had a strong will and a smart mind. Qin Yuan wanted to see if Jiang Hai could cope with this extreme situation.
environment.
Jiang Hai carefully chose a secluded place and decided to spend the night here. He used a knife to cut off some branches and vines and built a simple shelter.
He skillfully woven the surrounding leaves into a simple mattress to prevent the cold night air from directly attacking his body.
At this moment, the forest began to become quiet and peaceful, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the silence of the night. Jiang Hai knew very well that the dangers at night were not only the low temperature, but also the beasts and various uncertain factors lurking in the darkness.
To keep himself alert, he took out several empty bullet casings from his belt and tied them to a thin wire, hanging them near the entrance of the storm shelter.
In this way, whenever there is any movement nearby, he will notice it immediately.
