Chapter 1611 Pushing Potential to the Limit

Qin Yuan watched everyone's actions at the sentry post. In Qin Yuan's opinion, their performance was pretty good. They were not as shy as the new recruits when they first joined the army. At the same time, they remembered the basics of survival in the wild.

With these basic operations, there should be no accidents tonight.

It was late at night. Qin Yuan asked people to bring some animals. These animals were trained in the army. They would not hurt people, but they would execute instructions such as knocking people down.

When the sounds of these animals suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, everyone was awakened.

"Are there still wild animals in this forest?"

Most of the recruits thought of this in their minds. This is not impossible. They have also heard of such training, but they didn't expect that they would experience it so soon.

Faced with the threat of wild animals, they were destined to have a bad sleep tonight. Everyone was alert, but it would definitely not work, so they started to take care of each other.

After spending some time in this atmosphere, someone suddenly heard a movement in the bushes not far away, guessing that there might be some wild animals nearby.

Although they had weapons on hand, they could only hide unless they had no other choice.

And they all knew that this must have been arranged by Qin Yuan. There might not be any danger to their lives, but they would definitely suffer.

"Wake up, there is something nearby!"

The comrades around were awakened, and they lit a bonfire in an attempt to scare off the beasts in this way.

But what they didn't know was that everything just now was disguised by Qin Yuan's arrangement, mainly to see their on-the-spot reaction.

Judging from the previous performance, it was quite good. They were not afraid of danger and could calmly prepare for defense. Even if they really encountered a beast in the wild, it would not be a big problem.

After secretly testing everyone, Qin Yuan planned to give them some strength. These additional items were deliberately not mentioned by him.

"Bang!" The sudden gunshot startled everyone in the forest. They were a little confused. After all, Qin Yuan never told them that there would be such a situation in this training.

Even if they knew that the people arranged by Qin Yuan would definitely not be real guns and live ammunition, if they were hit by a prop gun, it would also mean that the training failed, and no one wanted to be eliminated.

"The instructor actually arranged this. Hide quickly. We can't be discovered, otherwise it will definitely mean failure!"

Most people understood Qin Yuan's intention after a brief shock. They quickly left the various temporary resting places and extinguished the campfire.

The lights in the forest began to disappear one after another soon. Qin Yuan understood that the recruits had already realized it. In this case, he didn't need to hide any more.

The forest was pitch black at this moment. It was not so easy to find people or hide. After all, in order not to be discovered, they didn't dare to use any lighting equipment.

If it weren't for the previous blindfold training that allowed them to quickly adapt to this situation, they would have been in chaos by now.

Qin Yuan and some veterans were searching in the forest with tactical flashlights. After some recruits hiding in the dark noticed the light of the flashlights, they were more certain of their guesses.

Darkness and silence surrounded the entire forest. Qin Yuan and the veterans shuttled through it like hunters, emitting the light of flashlights from time to time, deliberately staying for a while in places where some recruits might hide to create extra tension.

"Huh..." A slight wheeze came from not far away, and Qin Yuan's sharp eyes immediately caught the movement of the moment.

He waved his hand, signaling the veterans beside him to disperse and quietly approach the source of the sound.

In the dense bushes, a recruit clenched his fists tightly, trying to control the tension that was about to overflow. His sweat beads slid down his cheeks, and he dared not wipe it easily, for fear that the slightest movement would expose his position.

Qin Yuan approached the bushes silently, his breathing and footsteps completely blended into the darkness. In a few more steps, he reached the position of the hiding recruit, but he was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, he wanted to see how the recruit would deal with the approaching threat.

The recruit's ears seemed to catch a subtle change, his heartbeat became more and more rapid, but a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

He quietly poked his head out and looked around, trying to assess whether he could change to another hidden point. 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 reaction of the recruit. He turned back and signaled the veteran to continue searching, but in fact, his attention was more on the recruit just now.

Suddenly, a shrill wolf howl broke the tranquility of the night. At this moment, almost everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit.

This was the "wolf pack" simulation training that Qin Yuan joined, an extremely rigorous training program. They needed to conduct long-term psychological stress resistance training in the wolf howl, and at the same time, they had to deal with the disguised "wolf pack" attacks that might appear at any time.

As the second wolf howl sounded, the atmosphere in the forest became more tense. The recruits nervously adjusted their postures, trying to stay hidden, and at the same time pricked up their ears to listen to the movements around them.

Qin Yuan whispered to the veteran beside him: "Pay attention to their reactions. This training mainly tests their adaptability and teamwork."

The veteran nodded and said jokingly: "These guys should be able to hold on. We were more ruthless 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 move one after another, making various noises. For a while, the forest was filled with sounds like wolves attacking.

A squad of new recruits approached the designated safe area cautiously. They walked lightly, their eyes were alert, and they exchanged gestures from time to time to confirm safety.

Suddenly, the howl of wolves sounded on their left, and several veterans disguised as wolves rushed out of the darkness, bringing huge psychological pressure.

Although they seemed a little hasty in the dark, the effect of the training gradually emerged. These new recruits were obviously more comfortable than when they first entered the forest. Qin Yuan observed from a distance, with a slight smile on his face.

"They performed well," Qin Yuan said softly.

The veteran beside him agreed: "Indeed, it's a big improvement compared to when I first joined the army."

Observing the recruits' every move through night vision goggles, the atmosphere in the forest became extremely heavy due to the intense training.

In the dark, he could clearly see the huge pressure each recruit was under, especially under the multiple pressures of wolf howls and disguised wolves, their performance became more and more precious.

On the other side, several recruits were trying to cross a steep hillside. With each step forward, their breathing became more and more rapid, and sweat soaked their collars.

The fallen leaves and gravel under their feet made a slight sound when stepped on. Although they tried their best to keep 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 everyone's performance.

Every once in a while, he would convey new instructions through the walkie-talkie to ensure that the rhythm and difficulty of the training were kept at a high level.

The sudden drizzle fell on their training ground, turning the originally soft ground into muddy.

The recruits had to be careful not to get stuck in this environment, and they had to be alert at all times.

Many people were so tired that they could hardly suppress their panting, and some even began to wipe the sweat and rain from their foreheads.

The rain gradually increased. In the night, 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 guys are almost pushed to the limit." An old soldier sighed when the rain curtain was slightly transparent.

Qin Yuan nodded gently: "Only in the limit can they really know themselves."

As time went by, the recruits' actions became more and more difficult. The muddy road required double the effort for every step. Some recruits' feet were deeply stuck in the mud and could only grit their teeth.

When a recruit was trying to pull his foot out, his shoes were sucked by the mud and could not move. He waved his arms anxiously, signaling his teammates to help. The recruits next to him reacted quickly, and several people worked together to pull out the shoe.

About twenty minutes later, the recruits came to a stream that needed to be crossed. Normally, this stream was not difficult to cross, but in such bad weather conditions, the situation was completely different.

The stream had risen a lot, and some branches and weeds were floating on the water. The water was turbulent, and it was obviously a dangerous barrier.

Several recruits stood by the stream, observing each other's water level, and exchanged glances with each other, looking a little hesitant.

Finally, a recruit broke the silence, took off his shirt, tied a thicker branch with it, and tried to support a simple crossing for his teammates.

He carefully reached into the stream. Although his legs were immersed in the cold, he still gritted his teeth and stood steadily.

Qin Yuan looked at this scene and nodded slightly. He whispered to an old soldier beside him: "It's time to test their sense of cooperation."

At this time, Qin Yuan and his team did not do anything to interfere with the recruits. This rain was an accident. With such an accident, he no longer needed to take any additional actions.

On the contrary, looking at the turbulent river, they had to be prepared. If there were any other accidents, they had to rescue in time.

With the first person entering the water, others also began to enter the water one after another.

Even if they were holding something in their hands, the water was too turbulent and there was no way to swim across.

I saw these recruits holding hands with each other, connecting to the other side one by one. Facing the impact of the river, even though it was difficult to stand firm, they were lucky to hold on to their comrades around them.

After a while, they formed a human bridge in the river in this posture, and then slowly moved to the other side along this human bridge.

Although the rain made crossing the river a difficult task, with their unity and cooperation, they reached the other side very smoothly.

Seeing them fall down in the heavy rain one by one, Qin Yuan asked the veterans to set up tents on the spot, which was also a little reward for their performance.

"Instructor, how was our performance tonight? Did we pass?"

Suddenly, someone asked with a heavy breath, and the others pricked up their ears, wanting to know how Qin Yuan would evaluate them.

The veterans looked at each other, smiling but saying 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 before 48 hours, so don't let me down."

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 appearance of Qin Yuan's second half of the sentence, their eyes became more fiery, a kind of determination that would never succumb to anything.

The coldness of the early morning penetrated the wet clothes and went straight to the bone marrow. The recruits tossed and turned in the tent. Almost no one could sleep completely peacefully. The order to regroup suddenly sounded under the starry sky in the middle of the night.

"Assemble!" Qin Yuan's voice was as cold as frost, without a trace of mercy.

The recruits dragged their heavy steps and stood in the mud one by one. Everyone's face showed the toughness of holding on.

"Stand at attention, look to the right!" His voice was like a thunder, instantly stimulating the reaction speed of the soldiers. Everyone tried their best to straighten their bodies, although the pain and fatigue had already worn them out.

His eyes swept over every recruit. The training they were going through was not only to improve their physical fitness, but also to temper everyone's psychological endurance and teamwork ability. Only by doing this can they do better in subsequent training.

Qin Yuan's voice was cold: "Everyone carries 30 kilograms of weight and reaches the destination within four hours, without exception."

The faces of the recruits suddenly became heavy, but no one backed down. Qin Yuan nodded secretly. This batch of recruits looked pretty good.

Before the sun rose, they set foot on the muddy mountain road. The mountain road under their feet became particularly slippery due to the heavy rain last night, and every step needed to be taken carefully.

The heavy burden was on their bodies, and the heavy breathing sounded one after another in the queue, but everyone moved forward silently, and no one complained.

As time passed, the sun was high in the sky, the heat wave rolled, and their physical strength was quickly consumed, and every step became extremely difficult.

The steps of several recruits began to stagger slightly, but their comrades immediately stepped forward and shared their heavy objects on their shoulders.

The steps became heavier and heavier, sweat flowed on every young face, and the panting sounds and the rustling noises on the muddy ground intertwined, making the breeze in the air seem so precious.
