Chapter 182 - Go to the Battlefield (1/2)
Chapter 182 Go to the BattlefieldThe rest day passed. Everyone gathered at the stated place the next day. Since Luo Yongxin died and five were defeated and eliminated, the people left were fewer than thirty-five.
Naturally, how far they could go determined how brilliant they were, and only through the numerous selections could they qualify to be a member of the Dragon Spirit Squad and wear the Dragon Spirit Badge, which was the ultimate accolade in the army.
It was the special sign of the Dragon Spirit Squad. No one could forge it, because once caught, he would be sentenced to death. It represented the highest honor of a soldier and was also the passport of the mysterious army that they wished to join all their lives.
On the high platform, the young drillmaster glanced over the dozens of people present. After a minute or two, he began to say,
“You have passed all the tests. It’s my pleasure to tell you that you are very close to joining the Dragon Spirit Squad. As long as you pass the last examination, you will successfully become my comrades-in-arms.”
“What is the final examination?” At this moment, a soldier expressed the doubt in everyone’s heart.
“It’s very simple, but also the most difficult one because we want you to fight in a real battlefield and experience real blood and fire. Only the people who can survive this will be a member, otherwise, what waits for you is death.”
“As I said, we don’t need losers. No matter how good you performed before, if you die on the battlefield, you can only blame yourself. Do you understand?” The people present were deafened by the youth’s suddenly-raised voice.
“Yes, sir.” Apart from Wang Feng, all people here answered loudly. They knew the test of their abilities ended, as long as they went through a battle, they could become the Dragon Spirit Squad members, which was something they yearned for.
At this moment, they did not even consider what kind of battlefield they might face, but only a firm belief echoed in their minds. They were the elites of the major military regions, not cowards. Therefore, they would rush to any place even if a mountain of swords and a sea of flames.
In order to join the Dragon Soul Squad, they were willing to risk their lives!
“Well, I’ll give you a brief introduction to the task.” The young drillmaster slowly told Wang Feng the task in less than three sentences in total.
This time, Wang Feng’s task was to escort a treasure into a primeval forest, which had been identified as a national treasure, so one could imagine its importance.
But for some reason, the news had spread abroad, and the foreign forces had sent elite troops sneaking into China, ready to intercept the unearthed national treasure.
What Wang Feng needed to do now was to escort the treasure safely into a military area along the way, and from the exact information they got, at least three countries were ready to do it, or they had now crossed the border of Huaxia and sneaked in secretly.
That’s was what they got. It was still not known whether other countries were involved.
In short, this time Wang Feng was only allowed to succeed. If they could not bring back the treasure safely, all of them wouldn’t be qualified for Dragon Soul Squad.
In his words, even if these people died, the national treasure should be returned to national security.
This was not only the real task but also the final assessment of these people.
“Now I’ll give you half a day for preparation. If you get something left to say, say it earlier or no one will collect your corpses in the mission.” The man’s words were very indifferent, but absolutely not lies.
In the real battlefield, sometimes more people might die for taking care of the dead people. What showed on the TV series was not practical at all. Bullets would not choose their targets, and they might die if they get shot.
The living continued to fight, and the dead, unless they were cleaned up after the war, no one would care about them in the battle.
“Helicopters will pick you up in the evening. Let’s disband now.” When the young drillmaster finished, he turned around and left.
Once, they were selected into the Dragon Spirit Squad through such tests, so now he really had nothing to explain to them.
Not only a person’s strength but also the ability of teamwork were put to the test. The dragon Spirit Squad was a team, it was the most important thing. As for whether they could survive, it depended on their own abilities.
Time flew so fast that when the night swept across the earth, Wang Feng had already prepared and started boarding after others.
The destination they were going to this time was in the northwest of Huaxia, where the national treasure was found, and the army had stationed troops there before Wang Feng arrived.
But after all, those were only ordinary troops. If they encountered special forces and so on, they basically acted as an effective warning and deterrent.
Moreover, in today’s social conditions, the military could not assign a large number of troops for a national treasure. If this caused panic among the population, the consequences would be serious.
