Chen Zhigang was looking at the red dots on the big screen, as well as a concealed video feed.
Gu Xiaoxi, Song Jingyi, and Qin Chu gathered together and pulled out their mission cards, which made him frown deeply.
There was a clear rule before the exercise that they could not look at each other’s missions, so if they looked at them now, it would undoubtedly be an act of disobedience.
Just this one violation could eliminate them.
If Gu Xiaoxi were to be eliminated , it would truly be a pity. In his eyes, he had high hopes for her.
Just as Chen Zhigang was extremely nervous... the three of them opened their mission cards together.
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her own card, then suddenly put her mission card away and looked back at everyone, "I have to go first. Remember, keep your own mission secret."
Gu Xiaoxi was certain that this exercise wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
It could be summarized in one word: chaos, a melee.
Although everyone’s missions were different, the ultimate goal was certainly the same: to eliminate the veterans, scout their military secrets, and keep their own mission actions confidential.
This was Gu Xiaoxi’s conclusion after reading her mission card.
Song Jingyi and Qin Chu exchanged glances, watching the figure of Gu Xiaoxi rapidly escape through the woods, then lay there motionless.
Not far away, someone spotted Gu Xiaoxi and immediately opened fire on her. The blanks hit the branches, shedding leaves all over the ground, but ultimately they didn’t catch even a glimpse of her shadow as she had already disappeared.
"Damn it! She’s so fast. That was definitely Gu Xiaoxi, she was right behind us," a veteran spat out angrily.
"Quick, report to Captain Zhao, she’s heading in the direction of location 616," another soldier immediately reported to their leader, Zhao Zilong.
In the deep forest camp, Zhao Zilong received the message and a faint smile appeared on his face, "Dragon squadron leader Qian Jiangjiang, intercept Gu Xiaoxi at location 617. Capture her at all costs. Make her our prisoner."
"Yes, Captain Zhao. We guarantee to complete the mission," Qian Jiangjiang replied with excitement, leading his subordinates towards the mission point.
After the group of people had left, Song Jingyi and Qin Chu looked at each other and quietly stood up from the bushes.
"We need to split up and act separately now. Remember Xiao Xi’s words, meet at location 628," Song Jingyi and Qin Chu bumped fists, encouraging each other, "To stick around, we’re going all out."
Afterward, the two also left in different directions.
Chen Zhigang, watching the surveillance footage, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The instructor, standing behind Chen Zhigang, was full of curiosity, "Commander, what’s the purpose of such an exercise? And will those who are not up to standard really be all eliminated? Then, by the end, there won’t be many people left."
"The regiment commander said, only ten new recruits will remain after this exercise, the rest will all be eliminated. So, it all depends on their abilities now. Not just the recruits, but even the veterans will be eliminated if their abilities are too poor," Chen Zhigang said gravely.
"Why has it suddenly become so strict?" the instructor asked with a heavy gaze. If that was the case, only the true elites would remain.
"The higher-ups have revised the requirements for the reconnaissance soldiers and have decided to reduce the existing troops by half. The upcoming exercises are not only for the fourth company. Other companies and regiments are also planning their exercises. They’re expected to eliminate half of the soldiers who lack strength."
The instructor stared at the screen, his gaze growing even more intense, "If that’s the case, won’t we be demobilized? With the reduction of soldiers, naturally, the number of officers must also be decreased."
