Qin Yuan watched everyone's actions at the sentry post. In Qin Yuan's opinion, their performance was pretty good. They didn't have the twitchiness of the new recruits when they first joined the army. At the same time, they all kept the basics of survival in the wild in mind.
By maintaining these basic operations, there should be no surprises tonight.
In this way until late at night, Qin Yuan asked people to bring some animals. These animals were trained by the army. They would not hurt people, but they could carry out instructions such as knocking people down.
When the sounds of these animals appeared very suddenly at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone was awakened.
"Are there any wild animals in this forest?"
Most of the recruits had this in mind. This was not impossible. They had heard of such training, but they didn't expect that they would experience it firsthand so soon.
Facing the threat of wild animals, they were destined to have trouble sleeping tonight. Everyone cheered up, but it would definitely not work like this, so they started to look after each other.
After spending some time in this atmosphere, someone suddenly heard movement in the grass not far away, guessing that there might be some wild animals nearby.
Although they have weapons on hand, they can only evade unless absolutely necessary.
And they all know that this must have been arranged by Qin Yuan. It may not be life-threatening, but it will definitely cause them some suffering.
"Wake up, something is nearby!"
The comrades around them were awakened and they lit a bonfire in an attempt to scare away the wild beasts.
But what they didn't know was that everything just happened was faked by Qin Yuan, mainly to see their reactions on the spot.
Judging from the previous performance, it is still quite good. He is not afraid of danger and can calmly prepare for defense. Even if he encounters a wild beast in the wild, the problem will not be big.
After conducting a secret test on everyone, Qin Yuan planned to give them some strength. These additional items were deliberately not revealed by him.
"Bang!" The sudden gunshot startled everyone in the forest. They were a little confused. After all, Qin Yuan never told them that such a situation would happen during this training.
Even if they knew that the people arranged by Qin Yuan would definitely not have real weapons, if they were hit by a prop gun, it would also mean that the training had failed, and no one wanted to be one of the eliminated ones.
"The instructor actually arranged this, hide now, we can't be discovered, otherwise it will definitely mean failure!"
Most of the people understood Qin Yuan's intention after a brief moment of astonishment. They quickly left the various temporary resting places and extinguished the bonfires.
It didn't take long for the bright lights in the forest to disappear one after another. Qin Yuan understood that the recruits had already realized it. In this case, he no longer needed to hide.
The forest was pitch dark at this moment, and it was not easy to find people or hide. After all, in order not to be discovered, they did not dare to use any lighting equipment at all.
If it hadn't been for the blindfolded training that allowed them to quickly adapt to this situation, they would have been in chaos now.
Qin Yuan and some veterans were searching in the forest with tactical flashlights. Some recruits hiding in the dark noticed the bright light of the flashlights and became more sure of their guesses.
Darkness and silence surrounded the entire forest. Qin Yuan and the veterans shuttled through it like hunters, emitting flashlight light from time to time and deliberately staying for a while in places where some recruits might be hiding to create additional tension.
"Huh..." A slight gasp came from not far away, and Qin Yuan's sharp eyes immediately caught the movement of this moment.
He waved his hand, signaling the veterans beside him to spread out and quietly approach the source of the sound.
In the thick bushes, a recruit clenched his fists tightly, trying hard to control the nervousness that was about to overflow. The sweat dripped down his cheeks, and he did not dare to wipe it easily, lest the slightest movement would reveal his position.
Qin Yuan quietly approached the bushes, his breathing and footsteps completely blending into the darkness. After a few steps, he reached the location of the hidden recruits, but he was not in a hurry to take action, but wanted to take a look.
How will this new recruit respond to this approaching threat?
The recruit's ears seemed to have caught a subtle change. His heartbeat became faster and faster, but there was a hint of perseverance in his eyes.
He quietly stuck his head out and looked around, trying to evaluate whether he could change to a hiding spot. After noticing the tracking route of Qin Yuan and other veterans, the recruit chose a relatively secret escape route.
Qin Yuan nodded slightly, obviously quite satisfied with the recruit's reaction. He turned back and motioned to the veteran to continue searching, but in fact, his focus was more on the recruit just now.
Suddenly, a shrill howl of a wolf broke the tranquility of the night. At this moment, almost everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit.
This is the "wolf pack" simulation training that Qin Yuan joined. It is an extremely rigorous training program. They need to carry out long-lasting psychological stress training amidst the howling of wolves, and at the same time, they have to deal with the disguised "wolf pack" that may appear at any time.
"attack.
As the second wolf howl sounded, the atmosphere in the forest became even more tense. The recruits nervously adjusted their postures, trying to stay hidden as much as possible, and at the same time raised their ears to listen to the movements around them.
Qin Yuan said softly to the veterans around him: "Pay attention to their reactions. This training mainly tests their adaptability and teamwork."
The veteran nodded and said jokingly: "These young men should be able to hold on. We were even more ruthless than this back then."
Qin Yuan smiled faintly and continued to direct the veterans to walk through the forest. The veterans disguised as wolves also began to take action one after another, making various noises. For a while, the forest was filled with sounds like an incoming wolf pack.
A team of recruits cautiously approached the predetermined safe area. Their steps were light, their eyes alert, and they exchanged gestures from time to time to confirm safety.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Suddenly, the sound of wolf howls sounded to their left, and several veterans disguised as wolves jumped out of the darkness, which brought huge psychological pressure.
.
Although they seemed a little hasty in the darkness, the effects of the training gradually appeared. These recruits were obviously more comfortable than when they first entered the forest. Qin Yuan observed from a distance, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"They performed well," Qin Yuan said softly.
The veteran beside him also agreed: "Indeed, I have made great progress compared to when I first joined the army."
Observing every move of the recruits through night vision goggles, the atmosphere in the forest became extremely heavy due to the intense training.
In the darkness, he could clearly see the tremendous pressure each recruit was under, especially under the multiple pressures of howling wolves and pretending to be wolves, making their performance all the more precious.
On the other side, several recruits were trying to cross a steep hillside. With each step forward, their breathing became more rapid and their collars were soaked with sweat.
The fallen leaves and gravel under their feet made a slight sound under their feet. Although they tried their best to stay quiet, they could not completely avoid these sounds.
Qin Yuan leaned against the old tree, observing the actions of the recruits with night vision goggles, and silently taking note of each person's performance.
Every once in a while, he will convey new instructions through the walkie-talkie to ensure that the pace and difficulty of training are maintained at a high level.
A sudden drizzle fell on their training ground, turning the originally soft ground into mud.
When the recruits march in this environment, they not only have to be careful not to get stuck, but they also have to be highly alert at all times.
Many people could no longer suppress their breathing due to fatigue, and some even began to wipe the sweat and rain off their foreheads.
The rain gradually increased. In the darkness, Qin Yuan continued to stare at the recruits with night vision goggles. The rain wet his face, but it did not shake his concentration at all.
"These boys are almost pushed to their limit." A veteran couldn't help but sigh while the rain curtain was slightly transparent.
Qin Yuan nodded lightly: "Only in the extreme can they truly know themselves."
As time goes by, the recruits' actions become more and more difficult. The muddy road requires double efforts at every step. Some recruits' feet have been deeply stuck in the mud and they can only grit their teeth.
When a recruit was struggling to pull out his foot, his shoe was sucked into the mud and unable to move. He waved his arms anxiously, signaling for help from his teammates. The recruit next to him reacted quickly, and several people worked together to pull out the shoe.
About twenty minutes later, the recruits came to a small stream that needed to be crossed. Normally, this stream was not difficult to cross, but in such harsh weather conditions, the situation was completely different.
The stream has swollen a lot, and there are some branches and weeds floating on the water. The current is fast, and it is obviously a dangerous barrier.
Several recruits stood by the stream, observing the water situation with each other, and exchanged glances with each other, looking a little hesitant.
Finally, a recruit broke the silence, took off his shirt, tied it to a thicker branch, and tried to build a simple crossing path for his teammates.
He cautiously reached into the stream, and even though his legs were immersed in the cold, he still gritted his teeth and stood firm.
Qin Yuan looked at this scene, nodded slightly, and said softly to a veteran beside him: "It's time to test their sense of cooperation."
At this time, Qin Yuan and the others did not do anything to interfere with the new recruits. The rain was an accident. With such an accident, he no longer needed to take any additional actions.
On the contrary, looking at the rapid river, they had to be prepared to carry out rescue in time if any other accidents occurred.
As soon as the first person started to enter the water, others began to enter the water one after another.
Even though I was holding something in my hand, the current was too strong and there was no way I could swim through it.
I saw these recruits holding hands with each other and connecting to the other side one by one. Facing the impact of the river, even though it was difficult to stand firm, fortunately they held on to each other's comrades around them.
After a while, they formed a human bridge in the river in this posture, and then slowly moved along the human bridge to the other side.
Although the rain made crossing the river not an easy task, with their unity and cooperation, they reached the other side very smoothly.
Seeing them all collapse from exhaustion in the heavy rain, Qin Yuan asked the veterans to set up tents on the spot, which could be regarded as a reward for their performance.
"Instructor, how was our performance tonight? Did we pass?"
Suddenly, someone gasped and asked, and others also pricked up their ears, wanting to know how Qin Yuan would evaluate them.
The veterans looked at each other with smiles on their faces but said nothing.
After more than ten seconds of silence, Qin Yuan slowly spoke: "I am very satisfied with your performance tonight, but there is still a long time until 48 hours, so don't let me down."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, the recruits suddenly felt a strange feeling in their hearts, as if the previous fatigue and physical pain had disappeared, replaced by a sense of accomplishment.
But with the second half of Qin Yuan's words, their eyes became a little more fiery, a kind of perseverance that would never give in to anything.
The early morning chill penetrated the wet clothes and penetrated to the bone marrow. The recruits tossed and turned in the tents. Almost no one could sleep completely peacefully. The order to regroup suddenly sounded under the starry sky in the middle of the night.
"Gather!" Qin Yuan's voice was as cold as frost, without any mercy.
The recruits dragged their heavy steps and stood in the mud one after another, with perseverance showing on their faces.
"Stand at attention and look to the right!" His voice was like thunder, instantly stimulating the soldiers' reaction speed. Everyone tried their best to straighten their bodies, even though the pain and fatigue had already worn them out.
His eyes swept over each recruit. The training they were undergoing now was not only to improve their physical fitness, but also to temper each person's mental endurance and teamwork ability. Only by achieving these, can they do the same in subsequent training.
Be more perfect.
There was no warmth in Qin Yuan's voice: "Everyone carries 30 kilograms of weight and reaches the destination within four hours, without exception."
The faces of the new recruits instantly became heavy, but no one flinched. Qin Yuan nodded secretly, this group of new recruits looked pretty good.
Before the sun had risen, they set foot on the muddy mountain road. The mountain road at their feet had become extremely slippery due to last night's heavy rain, so every step needed to be done carefully.
A heavy burden was weighing on them, and heavy breathing could be heard one after another in the queue, but everyone moved forward silently, and no one complained.
As time passed, the sun hung high in the sky and the heat wave rolled in. Their physical strength was rapidly depleted and every step became extremely difficult.
The steps of several recruits began to falter slightly, but their comrades immediately stepped forward and shared their heavy loads on their shoulders.
The pace became heavier and heavier, sweat flowed on every young face, and the sound of breathing intertwined with the shimmering noise of the muddy ground, making the breeze in the air seem so precious.
