Chapter 1578: Squeezing out the new recruits’ physical strength
The four-hour march became increasingly difficult under the invisible pressure. The oncoming wind did not bring a moment of coolness, but instead seemed to sprout more beads of sweat in the hot air.
After several hours of marching, they finally arrived at the predetermined location. In the valley, the sound of the waterfall vibrated like thunder in the silent air, and the water mist filled the air like a fairyland.
But this short-lived beauty did not bring them a chance to relax. Qin Yuan still stood there sternly, staring at each tired but determined recruit.
"Put on your diving gear." He ordered briefly.
Just when the recruits were still understanding the order, their equipment had been thrown out of the container, and everyone was required to change immediately. These equipment were not only ordinary diving equipment, but also weight-bearing resistance bands and multi-functional water equipment.
Download the task package.
Under the waterfall is a bottomless pool, which will be their next extreme training venue.
Qin Yuan looked at them, his eyes showing complex emotions of severity and praise: "Within five minutes, everyone must enter the water."
The recruits immediately got into the mood and jumped into the icy pool one after another. The bone-chilling chill made them tense up for a moment.
However, training did not allow them to adapt to the sudden cold. Qin Yuan arranged a series of tasks, including underwater obstacle crossing, deep-diving target search and recovery, and simulating stealth under enemy fire suppression.
The underwater environment is dark and full of pressure. They need to overcome their inner fears and complete the arranged underwater tasks with limited oxygen supply.
The underwater obstacle is not only a physical challenge for them, but also a psychological test. Huge metal rings are stacked at the bottom of the pool. The recruits need to cross through with their chest and abdomen close to the ground under high oxygen consumption.
.
At a depth of about ten meters underwater, the obstacles exuded a cold metallic luster. The first batch had jumped in like swimming fish. Following the flowing water waves, their figures looked particularly tight.
Qin Yuan turned on a timer, and his stern tone echoed above the pool: "Find the target and recover it within three minutes."
The recruits started to stir up excitement and began to disperse, sinking into the dark underwater world, frantically searching for extremely secretive targets. It was pitch black underwater, and only the weak flashlight beam and the mixed vision of sand and mud made these
One task is even more difficult.
The darkness and silence under the water seemed to swallow up all sounds, but Qin Yuan's instructions echoed in the ears of the recruits, like a hammer that kept beating.
There was no sound in the darkness. Apart from heavy breathing, only the faint sound of bubbles emitted by the respirator spread.
When diving underwater, the arrangement of obstacles becomes more intricate. The distance between the metal rings is unevenly distributed, and some are extremely narrow. The recruits need to keep their whole bodies close to the ground to snake across.
As they passed through these links, there would occasionally be sudden shaking and sliding obstacles, as if invisible hands were testing their nerves.
Qin Yuan calmly stared at the water, his eyes slightly narrowed, and time passed by. In the cold and biting water, each recruit was trying his best to find the target.
The underwater search process is not only a physical exercise, but also a push to the psychological limit. They must find the faintly shining target in the boundless darkness and use limited means of survival to return to the surface.
.
Under the urgency of time, the recruits invariably felt the pressure of thin oxygen and the pounding of their heartbeats. They moved hard underwater, touching every uneven metal surface, trying to find the target among the intricate obstacles.
.
They searched underwater, using only the dim light of their flashlights to pass through the metal obstacles one after another.
Whenever he touched a smooth metal surface, he could only judge intuitively that it was not the target, and he swam forward again, feeling cold and fear intertwined, and even his respirator seemed heavy.
In a relatively open area, several recruits have successfully found the target object, but the task is not completed. They must successfully bring the target object back to the surface.
The metal box covered with corrosion marks was the target, heavy and slippery, and they had to work together to transport it safely. Every lift and every turn required precise operations in a limited space.
Qin Yuan stared at the timer intently. In such an environment, how would the tight oxygen supply affect their psychological defenses? There was only one minute left.
Suddenly, the flashlight beam in the water flashed, and then everyone heard a slight metal collision. That was when someone found the target.
The recruits struggled to drag the target out of the metal ring and floated upwards with all their strength. Seeing this, the other recruits also accelerated the pace of their search.
As time went by, more targets were discovered, and the new recruits in the water began working to bring these huge metal boxes back to the surface.
At the last minute, the recruits finally began to gradually bring the target back to the surface. Qin Yuan looked at the approaching countdown on the timer with a slight smile on his lips.
"Gather!" Qin Yuan ordered sternly.
The recruits quickly climbed ashore and lined up neatly. Everyone was breathing heavily, but no one complained. Qin Yuan glanced around, as if he was looking for something.
"Do you know why there is such training?" Qin Yuan's voice was low but clear in everyone's ears.
"In order for us to still be able to complete the mission under extreme circumstances, instructor!" a recruit replied, trembling slightly.
Qin Yuan nodded, and then continued: "This is not only a physical challenge, but also a psychological test. In a real mission, time and environment will not give you any chance of tolerance. In such a situation, when performing a mission,
It abounds!”
Listening to what Qin Yuan said, everyone had serious expressions. They knew that these words were not alarmist, and might even be exaggerated.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The sun is still very strong at this time, and the recruits are almost dry since they came out of the water.
However, Qin Yuan did not immediately let them continue with the next training, but prepared to let them eat.
He asked the veterans to take out raw beef and put it in front of them. This was a process that almost all soldiers had to go through.
"This is high-grade Wagyu beef. You can't even eat it if you want to..."
Before Qin Yuan finished speaking, it could already be seen from the expressions on the faces of the recruits that they knew what they were going to face next.
"Don't be polite, let's eat!"
Seeing that no one took action, Qin Yuan directly picked up a piece of raw beef, took a big bite, and then started chewing.
Qin Yuan's expressionless chewing made the recruits present feel their stomachs churn, but the veterans on the side were already used to it. They even picked up the raw beef and started eating it like Qin Yuan.
Seeing Qin Yuan and the veterans taking the initiative to demonstrate to him, the recruits could only bite the bullet and pick up the raw beef.
Although many people like to eat steak that is medium-ripe and bloody, there is still a big difference between eating it raw and eating it raw.
Just picking up raw meat, the bloody smell makes it difficult to make the next move.
Qin Yuan didn't say anything. He knew very well that taking the first step was the most difficult.
Everyone stared at the raw meat in their hands and frowned. Several attempts ended in failure.
At this time, Qin Yuan and the veterans had already finished a whole piece. He looked at the people in front of him and said in a deep voice: "What? You don't like to eat beef? Or are you saying that your faith does not allow you to eat beef?"
Qin Yuan's cold tone was as sharp as a thorn in the ears of the recruits. Seeing Qin Yuan's faint look of disappointment, and thinking of the training he had undergone before, there suddenly seemed to be something more in his heart.
Finally, someone was the first to bite the raw meat, and as the first person appeared, the second and third people also appeared. Soon, everyone took the first step.
After the raw meat eating session was over, Qin Yuan did not give any praise or comfort. He just glanced at everyone coldly. After confirming that all the recruits had completed the training, he stood up slowly and pointed not far away.
He held a piece of iron plate and said expressionlessly: "Let's go, the next step is special strength training."
Groups of heavy sandbags had been prepared in front of the iron plate. Almost each sandbag weighed fifty kilograms. The recruits looked at each other, but did not dare to say anything. They could only grit their teeth and follow Qin Yuan to the iron plate.
Qin Yuan pointed to the sandbags and said in a cold tone: "Each person carries a sandbag on his back, climbs up the six-meter-high steep slope, and then puts the sandbag on the top. This must be done thirty times each time."
The recruits began to take action. They tried to maintain their balance while lifting the sandbags with all their strength, and trudged toward the steep slope.
The slope was extremely steep, and every step was as difficult as climbing a mountain. The mud and sweat made the slope even more slippery. Some people fell from time to time, but no matter how hard they fell, they had to stand up and start again.
As time went by, large beads of sweat began to appear on the faces of the recruits, and their legs seemed as heavy as lead.
A recruit suddenly slipped and the sandbag rolled off his shoulders, splashing large amounts of mud on the ground. He took a deep breath and lifted the sandbag again, his bloodshot eyes full of determination.
Another recruit had veins popping out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and trudged up the steep slope step by step. His palms were covered with blood blisters, mixed with the slippery muddy water.
Qin Yuan cast his silent eyes on the recruits struggling in the mud. He did not express any sympathy or pity. This scene seemed to have been played out countless times in his eyes. He knew that these trainings were crucial to the growth of the recruits.
The special training continued, and Qin Yuan did not intend to give the recruits any chance to breathe. He waved towards the other side of the training ground, where a muddy trench had been prepared.
On both sides of the trench were three-meter-high mud walls, and the bottom was covered with gravel and weeds, making it extremely narrow and difficult to pass.
"Next, everyone crawls through this trench. They cannot use their hands, but must push forward with their elbows and knees." Qin Yuan's voice was cold and powerful.
The recruits were a little confused, but they could only bite the bullet and start taking action. Their buttocks were raised high, their elbows and knees touched the ground, and they wriggled forward with difficulty using the coordination of their bodies.
For Qin Yuan, this is just part of the special training. He doesn't care how tired the recruits are. What he needs is a team that can survive and fight in desperate situations.
Special training is a double test of mental and physical strength. He must eliminate all weaknesses and fears and create a group of real warriors.
After walking through the trenches, the uniforms of the new recruits were almost completely soaked in mud. The originally clean faces were now covered with dirt and could not be seen from their original appearance. Qin Yuan stood by the trench and stared at each recruit coldly, seeming to evaluate them.
performance.
The muddy ground exuded waves of dampness, and the recruits' limbs were exhausted from falling and crawling many times. But under Qin Yuan's cold gaze, they had no choice but to move forward.
Every time I move, I have to carefully avoid the barbed wire. When I occasionally touch the barbed wire on my back, the stinging pain is terrifying.
The recruits' bodies were constantly bruised in the trenches, but no one complained. The mud covered every inch of their skin, making their already sore bodies even heavier.
After about two hours, most of the people finally climbed out of the trenches and turned into clay figures.
The sky was already dark at this moment. Looking at the time and the condition of the new recruits, Qin Yuan knew that their physical strength had basically been drained.
"Today's training ends here. As I said, you can quit at any time if you want. I don't care how many of you can meet my standards. Anyway, I'm just taking you with me temporarily."
After saying that, Qin Yuan turned around and left alone, leaving the recruits and veterans looking at each other in confusion.
In this regard, the veterans were helpless. They had to wave their hands and said in a helpless tone: "Don't listen to instructor Qin's nonsense. If he really had that attitude, how could he train you like this? He would have left everything to us.
Already."
Although the recruits did not feel dissatisfied with Qin Yuan's words, they laughed at the veterans' words.
But with this smile, the wounds on their bodies seemed to be pulled open, causing them to grimace in pain.
Similarly, after every day's training, they would go to the bathhouse to take a medicinal bath. Qin Yuan knew that his training would inevitably leave scars all over their bodies.
Taking a medicinal bath can not only avoid sequelae, but also quickly restore their physical condition, ensuring that the next day's training will not be affected.
The night passed quickly. When everyone gathered at the playground the next day, they still didn't see Qin Yuan arrive after waiting for a long time.
They still maintained their military posture and stood on the playground. Even when there were not many teams on the playground, they did not leave.
Because everyone clearly remembers what Qin Yuan said, the team can only be disbanded if he comes. If he doesn't come, they have to wait! This order can be ignored unless there are special circumstances.
