Chapter 91 The Devil's Week is Over! (3 more chapters, 3.3k words, please subscribe)
Who else is dissatisfied? !

Hearing Su Chen's almost arrogant questioning, the rookies surprisingly fell into a long silence.

Su Chen gave them the opportunity to stand up and speak out if they felt dissatisfied, although he did not explicitly say what would happen if he lost. However, they knew in their hearts that if Su Chen lost in the competition with them, he would most likely not be able to continue to be the captain!

I thought Su Chen deliberately didn't say this to leave some wiggle room for himself, but now it seems that this is not the case at all!
Su Chen didn't discuss what would happen if he lost because there was no need. In his heart, he didn't think he would lose at all, that's all!

This young private is really ruthless! He is really capable! !

Involuntarily, the rookies set their sights on Shen Hang, who was the first to argue with Su Chen. The meaning was self-evident. You were the one who started it, right? So now you have to end it. Isn't that reasonable? !
Feeling everyone's gaze, Shen Hang felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, his skin was darker, so his red face could not be seen. Everyone was waiting for him to express his opinion. Shen Hang had no choice but to look at Su Chen and said with a stiff upper lip:

"Captain...Captain, you just said that we have to cooperate. How do we cooperate?"

These words were a disguised form of surrender for the behavior just now.

Su Chen heard this and was about to speak, but suddenly, a metallic three-dimensional prompt sounded in his ears:
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for using his own strength to convince the rookies and obtaining a rare reward: all sequelae are eliminated! (Note: This skill is a passive skill)
“Skill Description: This skill allows players to eliminate the effects of sequelae on their own when experiencing an event that has sequelae on the body or mind.

“Including but not limited to: After rigorous physical training, it can eliminate soreness and fatigue caused by muscle strain the next day.

"But please note: This skill is only used to eliminate the sequelae. It will not eliminate the personal feelings brought about by the event!"

The series of metallic three-dimensional prompt sounds surprised Su Chen a little. Eliminate the sequelae?

To put it simply, no matter how he trains his body, he will not feel any muscle pain the next day. Of course, the feeling of tiredness cannot be eliminated, and the physical and psychological pain cannot be eliminated either!
But this is awesome enough!!!

Think about the special forces training, which is based on rigorous physical fitness. Su Chen was really worried that he would be eliminated due to muscle strain and thus unable to complete the subsequent training subjects. With this skill, he doesn't have to worry at all!
Tongzi, awesome!
Su Chen sighed inwardly.

…………

With Shen Hang's surrender, Su Chen finally established his prestige as the captain among the rookies. Seeing that there were only more than forty minutes left, he stopped talking nonsense and assigned the rookies their respective tasks for collaboration. With their unity and cooperation, they finally finished setting up the tent in only 37 minutes.

When the tent was set up, Gao Yi, the chief instructor, came out, checked it, and said with a smile:

"Not bad! It looks like you rookies won't have to sleep on the grass for a long time in the future! I want to congratulate you! Well, you are all tired after a long day of traveling! Everyone, listen to my command, turn left! Target, the cafeteria, march in unison!"

The first meal of the training camp was very rich, the standard was higher than that of military dogs. This made the rookies who had been hungry for a day like hungry wolves seeing sheep. They all began to eat with relish, devouring the food like a whirlwind.

When dinner was over, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The rookies were gathered on the playground, and the instructors began to distribute Velcro to each of them, with their serial numbers on them, which were attached to their helmets and collars where their military rank was placed.

Because Su Chen is the captain, his serial number is 001.

After receiving the numbers, Gao Yi stood in front of them and said loudly: "From now on, you will have no names and no ranks. These numbers are your code names during the training period! There is only one way to get your names back, and that is to pass the selection. Otherwise, you will never have a name in the Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade!"

After everyone had put their numbers on their shoulders, Gao Yi ordered them to disperse.

The rookies returned to the two tents they had built. Steel wire folding beds had been arranged in the tents, and they creaked when they lay on them.

Coincidentally, Su Chen, Yan Ziqiang, Shen Hang and Jiang Cheng were assigned to the same dormitory, and even their beds were adjacent to each other.

All they did that day was frog jumps and duck steps, and they also had to set up tents, which made the rookies very tired. After washing up, they didn't communicate much and soon fell asleep one after another.

On the bed.

Su Chen crossed his hands behind his head, looked at the ceiling, listened to the chirping of insects outside, and wondered what he was thinking.

Yan Ziqiang turned over beside him and saw Su Chen like this, "No. 1, you haven't slept yet?"

Su Chen hummed, "I remembered something. Why haven't you slept yet?"

Yan Ziqiang smiled and said, "I am thinking about something too, but I am going to sleep soon. I advise you to hurry up and sleep as well. This should be the most comfortable sleep we can get in the next week!"

Su Chen understood what Yan Ziqiang meant, and immediately put his thoughts aside and took the time to rest.

As expected, when 2019:3 on March 28, 0 arrived, accompanied by a huge explosion sound, the rookies were scared and hurriedly got up from their beds. At this time, an instructor walked in and shouted with a cold face: "Emergency assembly!——"

A few minutes later, the 22 rookies dressed neatly, carrying weapons and equipment, and gathered on the grass outside. Gao Yi loudly announced that the Devil Week had officially begun!
Devil's Week is the highlight of any special forces selection.

With Gao Yi announcing the start of the Devil’s Week, the rookies’ five-day nightmare officially began!

On the first day, all the rookies needed to be fully armed, carry a 30-kilogram weight, complete 1500-meter frog jumps with a gun, roll 500 meters while holding a gun, push a Mengshi truck forward 2000 meters, and finally end with a high-intensity forced march.

On the second day, the training intensity soared sharply, with a 20-kilometer load-bearing march in the mud, and gas bomb attacks from time to time. After being attacked by gas bombs, they were not allowed to use gas masks, and then they had to undergo some courage training, such as high-altitude bungee jumping, and eating disgusting foods such as voles and insects.

Several rookies could not accept this assessment and were ruthlessly eliminated.

On the third day, field survival and basic tactical training began. The instructors distributed some rations to the rookies, simulated the field survival environment, and trained their ability to survive in the field.

On the fourth day, we had a 40km orienteering race as an appetizer, followed by combat training and night ambush training.

Just as Yan Ziqiang said, the night before the Devil Week started was the night they slept the most and felt the most comfortable. Once the Devil Week started, the rookies had less than three hours of rest a day and nearly 3 hours of training time. This was a great test of one's willpower, and the fourth day was also the most difficult day, because at this time one's physiology had reached a state close to the limit.

Su Chen was no exception. He could clearly feel himself starting to feel tired, hungry, and sleepy due to severe lack of sleep, which was a huge torture to his body and mind!

When the last day of the Devil's Week came, Su Chen had forgotten how he had survived that day. He only knew that he had completed a series of inhuman tortures such as climbing cliffs, armed swimming, fighting in the mud, and running in the mud carrying logs while extremely hungry, tired, and lack of sleep.

This torture lasted until the last second of the fifth day.

After five days of torture of the Devil's Week, there were only nine of the twenty-two rookies left, and the queue was visibly reduced.

What really surprised Su Chen was that Major Shen Hang actually persisted, but he no longer had much energy to care about it at this time.

A line of nine people stood in front of Gao Yi. The nine of them looked really miserable.

He was covered in mud and was dirty. He had a messy and smelly smell and even his face was covered with dried mud. He looked extremely miserable!

The rookies have almost lost their sense of time. They don’t know what time it is or what subjects are left in the Devil Week. They just wait quietly like machines for Gao Yi to announce the next training subject!
"Now I'm going to announce something..." Gao Yi said this and deliberately drew out a long tone, but none of the rookies answered. There was no reaction at all, and they waited numbly for his next subject.

Seeing this, Gao Yi smiled and said, "I declare that Devil Week...is officially over!! Congratulations, you have passed the selection for Devil Week and will proceed to the next stage of training!"

After Gao Yi finished speaking, the entire training ground fell into deathly silence!

Immediately.

"Ah!!!!" The rookies burst into roars or excited shouts.

The rookies all vented their emotions, even Su Chen was no exception, and shouted. These five days of torture had made them half-human and half-ghost, and no one knew how they had managed to hold on. Now, knowing that they had passed the Devil Week training, the rookies felt like they wanted to shout to the sky, and their emotions completely exploded at this moment!

.........

The Devil Week training is a means of "rust removal" for the special forces. It removes the rust among the trainees who cannot endure hardship or are not suitable for the special forces, leaving the fine iron that has the hope of becoming a special forces member, and continues to be forged to become an outstanding special forces member.

Its training mainly tests several aspects.

Tempering willpower. Through extremely difficult and high-intensity training, special forces soldiers are trained to maintain a tough and unyielding will under extreme difficulties and pressure, and to overcome fatigue, pain and psychological barriers.

Cultivate teamwork spirit. In complex and arduous training, team members are required to cooperate with each other, support each other, and complete tasks together, so as to enhance the cohesion and coordination ability of the team and let them understand one thing:
War is not a one-man game. During the war, they may face even harsher natural environments and battlefield conditions. If they do not understand the importance of teamwork, it will be difficult to improve their combat level!
This is also to train their ability to respond on the battlefield. By simulating real battlefield environments and complex and changeable tasks, special forces can make quick and accurate judgments and decisions, and improve their ability to respond to emergencies and solve problems.

…………

After the Devil's Week, the nine rookies also got two days off.

Extremely tired, they slept for a whole day. During their rest, the instructors began to evaluate the overall performance of the nine of them and arranged the next stage - training in military combat skills!
