Chapter 1610 Qin Yuan's Test Before Special Training

Qin Yuan watched the struggles and difficulties these recruits showed in adapting to the weighted guns, and his mouth corners slightly raised, obviously satisfied with their performance.

But Qin Yuan knew that in order for these recruits to truly become reliable soldiers, more training was needed.

"Follow me." Qin Yuan ordered briefly, and then led them all the way to a training area surrounded by jungles and swamps.

This hidden place, no one would have thought that he would choose to conduct the next training session here.

"Mud crawling." He said briefly.

The training project was simple and clear. The team members had to cross a swamp mud and keep crawling all the way. The muddy ground was covered with sharp stones and hidden weeds. Any careless movement could cause pain.

What was even more desperate was that the guns and sandbags would sink into the mud, making every step extremely heavy.

The recruits began to move forward step by step in the mud. The mud was stubborn like glue and entangled with each other. Their hands could hardly reach the ground below. Every time they exerted force, the rusty stones would cut their palms.

The stench and stickiness of the water made every breath they took difficult, and the cold environment and the constant attack of mosquitoes made the entire training like being trapped in hell.

However, this was not the worst. Qin Yuan arranged several veterans to fire continuously from a few meters away, creating a series of explosions and splashing mud.

Although these practices were scary, more importantly, they allowed the recruits to learn how to concentrate, not be disturbed, and continue to move forward in an extremely tense and harsh environment.

Several times, the recruits naturally stopped subconsciously, hesitating and struggling in their hearts, and some even looked at Qin Yuan in their eyes seeking help.

But every time at this time, Qin Yuan's calm eyes always made them understand that any complaints and retreats were useless.

Continuing to crawl, the mud became deeper and heavier, and every step seemed to be fighting against nature. Sweat, mud and blood mixed together, and no one could tell which liquid was flowing on their faces.

Qin Yuan coldly observed the movements of each recruit, as if waiting for their limit to come.

A recruit staggered forward, his palms were already bleeding from the sharp stones. Every time he exerted force, his movements became slower and more careful, but the determination in his eyes did not diminish.

Suddenly, there was a hurried shout from the front, and another recruit was tripped by the sharp stones in the mud and lay on the ground in pain.

"Stand up!" Qin Yuan shouted coldly, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.

The recruit did not say anything to refute. Although his whole body was trembling, he still gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up again and continued to move forward. His movements became obviously more determined and heavy.

Qin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then walked to a hidden place and released a button.

In an instant, a dense wire mesh was surrounded by the training ground, and then the temporary firepower points on both sides began to simulate the enemy's firepower attack.

The raging fire and smoke filled the air, and the explosions roared in the ears, turning the entire training ground into a gray miniature of the battlefield.

"This is the environment you must adapt to!" Qin Yuan shouted loudly. He hoped that the recruits could find their own rhythm in this extreme environment, adapt to the pressure and stay calm.

The recruits continued to crawl forward in the flames of the explosion, trying to hold back the roar in their ears and always keep a low profile to avoid the "enemy's" firepower.

Sometimes, the quagmire would be blown up due to untimely avoidance, and the mud would splash all over their bodies, but they never stopped.

Gradually, time seemed to stop, and the explosions in their ears became the only rhythm of the recruits. The arrangement of barbed wire and firepower points required them to find their own balance point in an extremely oppressive environment. Everyone's face was dripping with liquid mixed with mud and blood and sweat, but their eyes were extremely firm.

Qin Yuan stood aside and observed all this quietly. He knew that this link was just the beginning. Long-term psychological and physical destruction would invisibly shape a real warrior.

The recruits had already moved forward mechanically when their hands could hardly feel the pain, but their willpower gradually condensed into a shield wall that would not be easily broken in the process.

When the last recruit finally climbed over the mud pit finish line, 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!" Qin Yuan waved his arm and led the team into the forest without hesitation.

He walked at the front of the team. The dense forest blocked the sunlight so that there was almost no gap. The whole environment seemed gloomy and depressing.

The ground under his feet was covered with layers of rotten leaves and dead branches. Every step was accompanied by a slight cracking sound. He stopped and turned to face the recruits.

"Next, we will conduct forest pursuit training." Qin Yuan said lightly, his eyes cold.

The recruits looked confused. Their bodies were exhausted from the mud pit training just now. Qin Yuan's eyes had no mercy. He directed several veterans to take out some black cloth strips from their backpacks. Then, one by one, the recruits were blindfolded.

"You have to rely on other senses to determine the direction and move forward without any sight." Qin Yuan explained, "Everyone has a specific path. Your task is to avoid the veterans' pursuit and successfully 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 sounds to capture 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 movements of veterans, tripping over branches or being grabbed by a sudden hand.

They struggled and tried with all their strength to escape from the veterans. Countless counterattacks 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 could 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 as quickly as 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 did not think 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 complain in their hearts, but at this moment, Qin Yuan gave them a chance to regret, but no one spoke.

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 disband!

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 his decision, others soon followed.

As Qin Yuan expected, 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 disbandment, 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, and 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 medicinal bath for you. Otherwise, if you do this every day, you will get sick sooner or later."

Hearing this, all the new recruits immediately became energetic and expressed that Qin Yuan was too talkative.

However, when they came to the bathhouse and entered the medicinal bath, the alcohol-laced medicinal bath made them wailing 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 primeval 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 on 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, which was a surveillance post to ensure the safety of the recruits but 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 new recruit named Liu Qiang was carefully flipping through a piece of wolfsbane, trying to avoid the sharp thorns on the bushes.

Liu Qiang was concentrating on avoiding the thorns on the bushes, and suddenly felt thirsty. He touched his cracked lips and cast his eyes to the stream 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 simply with bark and soil, and picked up some brick red soil that is common in the jungle, and poured the water into the bamboo tubes.

Although this method is simple, it can finally make the water less full of dregs in a short 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 have become his only reliable energy supply at this moment.

After quickly remembering the wilderness survival skills he learned in the past few days, Liu Qiang began to catch a few fat grasshoppers, and after a simple treatment with a knife, he ate them raw.

Qin Yuan stood at a distant sentry post, carefully observing Liu Qiang's every move with a telescope. As night fell, the low temperature began to invade, and the endurance of the recruits would be tested by the cold.

His eyes turned to another direction, where Jiang Hai was. Jiang Hai was a slightly thin recruit, but he had a strong will and a smart mind. Qin Yuan wanted to see if Jiang Hai could cope with this extreme environment.

Jiang Hai carefully chose a hidden place and decided to spend the night here. He cut some branches and vines with a knife and built a simple shelter.

The surrounding leaves were cleverly woven into a simple mattress by him to prevent the night cold from directly invading his body.

At this moment, the forest began to become quiet and peaceful, with only the occasional sound of insects breaking the silence of the night. Jiang Hai knew that the danger at night was not only the low temperature, but also the wild beasts lurking in the dark and various uncertain factors.

In order to keep himself alert, he took out a few empty shells from his belt and tied them to a thin line, hanging them near the entrance of the shelter.

In this way, as long as there is any movement nearby, he will be able to discover it first.
