Chapter 313 - 93: The Start of the Mock Battle Exercise
"This pertains to a soldier’s honor, so we will select the true strong ones from the Eight Divisions to participate in the world competition. I don’t expect all twenty of you to remain, but at least you and Yun Xiao must stay. In my view, you both have great strength, unmatched by others," Quan Shaoqing said. Despite Gu Xiaoxi and Yun Xiao being female soldiers, they did not lose out to their male counterparts in the slightest.
"Of course, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xiao are ones we’ve carefully trained for so long, and they definitely won’t lose to other military dogs in terms of Spirituality. Their physical capabilities have reached an incredible standard through long-term training. And Xiao Xiao has also gradually gained Spiritual Wisdom," Gu Xiaoxi explained.
"It’s good that you have confidence!" Quan Shaoqing said. As long as Gu Xiaoxi was confident, it meant that there was a great hope for this matter.
...
The next day at five o’clock in the morning, an urgent whistle blew, waking everyone from their sleep. They quickly got dressed and assembled urgently.
Three minutes later, everyone had assembled and the figure standing on the podium was an unfamiliar officer with a stern expression. He said impassively, "I am the person in charge of this competition. I can tell you very clearly that your combat exercise begins right now, this very moment."
Gu Xiaoxi, leading Xiao Xiao, looked ahead, thinking that it would begin with a comprehensive ability screening for the military dogs. She hadn’t expected to start with an exercise. The intention was to eliminate a batch of people first, then the unqualified military dogs, and finally select the best individuals.
At this point, the officer on the stage loudly explained again, "The exercise will last for six days and will be in the form of a confrontation match. The 160 of you have arrived here to face off against 160 veterans from the Special Forces, covering a total distance of 120 kilometers. You now have half an hour to wear your Positioning Bracelets, collect exercise supplies, and finally, take your mission cards."
