CHAPTER 1736: CHAPTER 1737: WHAT SHOULD WE DO NOW (FIFTH UPDATE)

The sky gradually darkened.

Like all the male soldiers, the six female soldiers crawled out of the swamp and, arriving at the forest field, were sprawled like lifeless dogs on the ground, completely disregarding their so-called poise, their faces pale, limbs powerless, lying down and slouched.

"You bunch of rookies, already out of energy?" A voice that made all the soldiers grit their teeth in hatred came, "Seeing them in this sleepy state is bothering me. Gong Wu, wake them up."

"Got it!"

At this moment, Gong Wu, with four instructors and water guns, walked up to you.

The frail male soldier saw this and immediately cried out, "No way, this could kill someone!"

"I want you to wake up!"

Gong Wu laughed and opened the water valve, the four powerful water guns targeted you who had no strength left to resist.

"Girls love to look pretty, take special care of these six female soldiers," You cruelly added.

"I’m on it!" Gong Wu personally aimed the water gun, vigorously spraying at the six female soldiers including Wei Yingyue, while five tried desperately to resist and dodge, Wei Yingyue was utterly calm, sitting on the ground, even taking off her helmet to wash her long hair.

Gu Dong saw this from the side and remarked to you, "Captain, I’m finding her more and more compatible with you."

You rolled your eyes at Gu Dong and walked away.

The night was deep.

After being tormented for a whole day, the soldiers ate two plain buns and retreated to their tents to rest.

A regular tent housed ten people, the female soldiers numbered only six, making it appear somewhat spacious.

Inside the tent, a female soldier sat on a mat, towel-drying her hair, "I never imagined this Tianzhu would be so twisted!"

"This is only the first day, I honestly don’t know if I can get through tomorrow."

Wei Yingyue wrung out the towel in her hand, dried her feet, then wore her soggy socks back.

The soldier next to her saw and couldn’t help but ask, "Ying Yue, your socks are wet, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to sleep in them?"

Wei Yingyue glanced at the soldier and sighed, "I don’t have any hopes for sleeping well. Everyone should hurry and rest, it’s best not to undress, these lunatics will surely mess with us again tonight."

Her words seemed somewhat amusing.

The soldier listened and couldn’t help but chuckle, "I don’t buy it, even if they’re jerks, they’ve got to let us rest, or how would we continue tomorrow?"

Seeing she didn’t believe, Wei Yingyue didn’t say more, used her backpack as a pillow, lightly reclined, curled up, and closed her eyes.

About six hours of sleep later, you walked out of the tent, heading towards Gong Wu on guard.

Seeing you, Gong Wu grinned, "Captain, among these rookies, there’re still a few good ones. With more training, handling regular tasks shouldn’t be a problem."

Gong Wu and Gu Dong were specifically brought by Du Ping’an to assist you in completing this selection, and though it’s only a few short days, for Gong Wu and Gu Dong to walk alongside you again, they felt genuinely proud and excited.

You asked Gong Wu, "What time is it?"

"Two o’clock."

"Alright, almost time. Wake them up."

Gong Wu smiled and nodded, gestured to two nearby instructors, and the three respectively approached three hollow iron barrels placed at the camp’s edge. Gong Wu grabbed a string of firecrackers from the table near a barrel and lit it with a lighter before tossing it inside.

You though, went even lower!

You took a small bunch of firecrackers, lit them, and tossed them into Big Bear’s tent!

Instantly, it was chaos inside the tent, Gong Wu and other instructors all gave you a thumbs-up.

Forming in ranks, Wei Lei checked the numbers, counted to sixty, then blew the whistle as soldiers assembled on the adjacent open ground, including two female soldiers.

You initially thought Wei Yingyue would be one of them, yet didn’t expect that Wei Yingyue was actually the first to arrive.

Under the light, Wei Yingyue’s face remained pale, with deep eye bags, yet surprisingly her spirit seemed much better than during the day. Facing you, she displayed an unyielding momentum.

"Tut."

You couldn’t help feeling a bit irritated, raised your head slightly, never expected Wei Yingyue to appear, nor anticipated her persistence.

Truth be told, you felt pained.

Seeing Wei Yingyue in this state now, you truly felt pained.

It’s just, you know, the Special Forces will undertake missions fraught with life-threatening dangers in the future, under no circumstances can Wei Yingyue be allowed into the Special Forces.

Those eliminated, you didn’t have the dramatics of television shows, you simply said a few words to dismiss them, as for the eliminated ones, you couldn’t spare more time, this wasn’t a talent show, it was soldier selection!

"Originally, I planned to let you sleep more, but I changed my mind. The subject you’re about to take is a nighttime forced march."

Standing before the crowd, your voice wasn’t loud yet penetrated clearly into everyone’s ears.

"You need to reach the Stream Heart Training Field before dawn. This night march differs from usual, you’re not allowed to use any lighting equipment, relying solely on instinct, and the information I can provide is only two points: Northwest direction, where two streams converge; I’ll wait for you until six in the morning. If late, activate your rescue signal, within fifteen minutes someone will bring you back."

Saying this, you turned to walk toward the jeep, while Wei Lei blew the whistle.

Upon rushing out the forest field, the team members lost direction. The surroundings were simply too dark, and the media couldn’t follow this time, they would hinder the selection process.

At this moment, some marched forward on instinct, others walked in groups of three to five.

The remaining four female soldiers naturally walked together, women inherently have poor sense of direction, much less under such circumstances.

"Hey, what should we do now?" A female soldier asked.

"It’s so dark, how can we walk without a light source?"

"This instructor is indeed twisted, coming up with such twisted methods."

Wei Yingyue sighed lightly, looking up at the sky overhead, wondering if you had planned it beforehand, as the sky was completely covered by clouds, no moon, no stars visible.

"Ying Yue, what should we do?" The three female soldiers simultaneously looked at Wei Yingyue.

Actually, without Wei Yingyue’s prior advice, the three of them might’ve been eliminated too. Female soldiers differ from males, their gear is more complex, clothing too, plus they have physiological disadvantages, reacting rapidly like male soldiers is hard. Consequently, including Wei Yingyue, the four female soldiers all slept in their clothes, allowing them to react immediately.
