Chapter 162 The first stage of selection and assessment is over!
After this round of fierce competition, more than 20 contestants were unfortunately eliminated.
Qi Tongwei kept his promise and allowed the remaining contestants to take a short break.
However, after just five kilometers of arduous crawling, the contestants were covered in scars and blood.
Qi Tongwei insisted that they enter the alcohol pool for disinfection before resting. At that moment, the alcohol irritated the wounds and the contestants grimaced in pain, but they all gritted their teeth and persevered.
After the disinfection was completed, they dragged their tired bodies to the rest area.
During a break in training, several players including Zhuang Yan, Geng Jihui, Paratrooper Ostrich, Yu Fei and Leng Feng walked up to Qi Tongwei.
Zhuang Yan frowned and said with a hint of complaint in his tone, "Chief Instructor, this training is too intense. We feel like we're being drained every day. Is it really necessary to have such a high intensity? It feels like we're almost reaching our limits."
Qi Tongwei glanced at them sharply and responded seriously, "There is no such thing as a limit on the battlefield. The enemy will not stop attacking just because you are tired."
"If you feel it's hard now, you'll die on the battlefield."
"Think about it, do you want to take it easy now and then lose your life on the battlefield, or do you want to suffer a little more now and give yourself a better chance of survival on the battlefield?"
Geng Jihui then said with a wry smile, "Instructor, we understand your hard work, but sometimes we really feel like we can't hold on any longer. The feeling of being exhausted both physically and mentally is too hard to bear."
Qi Tongwei's expression became more serious. He said in a cold voice, "Even if you can't hold on, you have to hold on. This is the only way to become a true special forces soldier."
"If you want to become an elite on the battlefield, you must unleash your full potential."
"Look at those who were eliminated. Why didn't they make it to the end? It's because they didn't have the determination to persevere."
The paratrooper scratched his head and said, "Instructor, we are human beings, not machines. If we continue to train like this, I'm really afraid I'll collapse. Your training methods are more than twice as cruel and dangerous as when we first took the Wolf Fang test."
Qi Tongwei frowned and snorted, "So the Wolf Fang is a regular special forces unit, not an ace special forces unit!"
With just one sentence, everyone stopped complaining.
For the entire next month, high-intensity training hit the players mercilessly every day like a storm.
Every day, there are contestants who are eliminated because they can't bear it. However, with each passing day, their willpower and physical fitness become stronger unknowingly.
From the initial painful struggle to gradual adaptation, most of the players slowly got used to this devilishly intense training.
A month passed in a flash, and now there are only more than 50 contestants left from the original 300 contestants.
The willpower and talent potential of these fifty people were fully stimulated under Qi Tongwei's high-intensity training, and they completed a gorgeous transformation from the inside out.
Qi Tongwei looked at the fifty or so contestants who had gone through so much hardship and said loudly, "Congratulations! You've completed the first stage of the assessment!"
The contestants showed smiles of relief and pride on their faces, and some were even so excited that they burst into tears.
Qi Tongwei then announced: "Next we will enter the second phase, which is the intensive assessment and training of special operations skills."
"This time, each person will still receive 100 points. During the assessment training, points will be deducted based on your training and assessment results."
Qi Tongwei announced that the contestants would rest for two days to recover their physical functions, and the second round of selection would be held two days later.
In the dormitory, Zhuang Yan, Geng Jihui, Paratrooper Ostrich, Yu Fei, Leng Feng and others gathered together.
Zhuang Yan ate his food with big mouthfuls as he sighed, "This first stage was really not easy. I almost got eliminated. Instructor Qi is too strict, but thanks to him, I can feel my transformation."
Geng Jihui nodded and said, "Yes, but we persevered."
"I'm not sure how difficult this second phase of special operations skills training will be. I'm still a little unsure."
The paratrooper ostrich said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? We have seen all kinds of situations. It's still the same subjects as before.
"I've seen through the chief instructor's plan. He wants to train us to death and then transform us."
Yu Fei frowned and said, "Don't underestimate these subjects. If you're not careful, you'll lose points. When all your points are deducted, you'll be eliminated."
Leng Feng said with a determined look, "No matter what, we must give it our all and not let down our guard. The Chief Instructor is right. If we want to become elites on the battlefield, we can't afford to slack off even a little bit."
........................
After gathering two days later, Qi Tongwei directly asked them to board an armed transport helicopter and head to the southwestern snow-capped mountains to begin special combat skills training in various environments.
When the helicopter door opened, the biting cold wind blowing from the direction of the snow-capped mountains was like a pair of icy knives, mercilessly scraping across the contestants' cheeks.
They got off the helicopter one by one, and as soon as they landed, the cold quickly surrounded them like a tide.
These contestants all come from different special forces in the south, and they rarely encounter such extremely cold climates in their original training environment.
As soon as they stepped onto the snow, they felt as if their feet were being pierced by countless ice needles.
The boots they were wearing seemed to have lost their original warming function in this extreme cold. The cold quickly spread from the soles of their feet upwards, freezing his toes so much that they almost lost feeling. Every step he took felt like he was stepping on ice, and the piercing pain made him frown tightly.
The contestants kept rubbing their hands and blowing hot air onto their hands, but that little bit of heat instantly dissipated without a trace in the extreme cold.
As soon as I took my hands out of the gloves to adjust my equipment, they turned red from the cold.
The finger joints seemed to be frozen, becoming stiff and inflexible, and even simple actions such as buttoning equipment became very difficult.
Some contestants unconsciously covered their ears with their hands, but the cold gloves could not bring them much warmth.
His nose and ears seemed to be frozen in the cold air.
The tip of his nose first turned red, then gradually became numb. He felt that his breath was filled with ice, and every time he inhaled cold air, it was like a layer of frost formed in his respiratory tract.
His ears were so cold that they hurt, as if someone was pulling his earlobes hard.
When setting up the temporary camp, the contestants' movements were obviously much slower than usual.
Their bodies kept shivering in this extremely cold environment, and their teeth chattered uncontrollably.
