In the morning, Chen Yu went out with the rescue team as usual and participated in a routine material collection task.
Although the main force is responsible for the battle, militiamen and volunteers still undertake the important work of clearing the edges of the battlefield and transporting available supplies.
The task is not easy, but Chen Yu has long been used to it.
In the afternoon, he came to the assembly point according to his daily schedule and prepared to continue the afternoon patrol mission, but unexpectedly found that the atmosphere was a little different.
Not only were the afternoon activities canceled, but all those who had participated in the study of <Source Energy Basic Guidance Technique> and had made reasonable progress were asked to gather in the open square of the center.
With a trace of doubt, Chen Yu came to the square, and soon saw Zhou Yuxuan who had also been summoned in the crowd.
The two nodded, each seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
Soon, Wang Wenhai, one of the leaders of the settlement, stepped onto the makeshift rostrum, holding a loudspeaker in his hand.
"Quiet! Everyone be quiet!"
The voice of Wang Wenhai spread throughout the square through the loudspeaker, and the originally noisy crowd quickly fell silent.
"Comrades, we are now announcing some great news from Supreme Command!"
Wang Wenhai's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement, "The top management has decided to set up a Source Energy training camp named 'East Blade'. And the location is set to be our Helu City!"
As soon as the news came out, there was a burst of exclamation and discussion in the audience.
Source Energy training camp? Or is it organized by the highest level?
Just at Helu City?
Isn't this right at your doorstep?
Wang Wenhai pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and continued, "This training camp will select and recommend outstanding talents from all surviving bases and settlements across the country to participate. Although our Helu City settlement, although the total number of people is not large, we were very lucky to get two recommended places!"
There are two places available!
Everyone in the audience's breathing suddenly became rapid, and their eyes became fiery.
This is the shortcut to greater power, great honor and opportunity.
"Now." Wang Wenhai's voice suddenly became serious, "Start the selection! We will check everyone's learning progress and understanding one by one according to the set of test questions just issued by the headquarters."
"Everyone, please line up and answer based on your actual situation!"
"Attention."
He emphasized his tone and glanced across the audience. "This is not an exam, but it is better than an exam! If you can, you can, and if you can't, you can't."
"Don't listen to what others say, don't whisper to each other, and don't even think about cheating!"
His voice was unprecedentedly stern. "I want to emphasize one point here, this time Chief Instructor of East Vanguard Training Camp is Lin Yi."
"Do you think there is any possibility of getting through in front of him? Whoever dares to cheat and sneak in will soon be exposed for his true colors. Not only will he be deported and embarrass his hometown, he will also bear serious military responsibilities! This is not a child's play!"
The last words were like a splash of cold water, causing some lucky people to wake up instantly.
Playing tricks in front of a person like Lin Yi? It is simply asking for humiliation.
Soon, under the organization of the staff, a long queue formed, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
Chen Yu and Zhou Yuxuan are also in the queue.
Zhou Yuxuan was in the front. He looked relatively calm, but his pursed lips and slightly clenched hands still revealed his inner unrest.
He fully understands the importance of this opportunity, which may be a key step for him to catch up with or even surpass some people.
"We must seize it. My progress should not be slow. We must seize it!" He secretly felt cruel in his heart.
Chen Yu was ranked later, with a more complicated mood.
He longs to become stronger and to be closer to the footsteps of Lin Yi, and no longer needs to be protected all the time, but he is also worried that his progress is not enough.
After all, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the settlement, so there must be people who are making faster progress.
"I don't know if the questions are difficult. Oh, I hope I can answer some questions. I'm Lin Yi's roommate. At least I won't embarrass him."
He prayed secretly, his palms getting a little sweaty.
The team advanced slowly.
When it was Zhou Yuxuan's turn, he took a deep breath and stepped forward.
The staff member read the questions in a low voice, and he listened attentively, thought quickly, and then answered them one by one.
Soon, a look of confidence appeared on his face.
Most of the questions were about the feelings of some key nodes in Guidance Technique's practice, the subtle techniques of Source Energy's operation, and solutions to common problems. He was already familiar with these.
Only the last question involved a relatively unknown energy convergence technique. He hesitated a little, but based on his own understanding, he still gave a relatively complete answer.
The staff didn't say anything, they just recorded it silently.
Zhou Yuxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked aside to wait, feeling very hopeful.
After more than twenty minutes, it was finally Chen Yu's turn.
He was so nervous that his heart was pounding, and he even felt a little nervous when he stepped forward.
The staff started asking questions.
The first question, a basic feeling question, he answered easily.
The second question, Source Energy circulation path, he had no problem with it.
Question 3. Question 4.
After answering each question, Chen Yu was surprised to find that these questions didn't seem to be particularly difficult?
Many of them were problems that Lin Yi gave him casually in daily life, or he himself pondered over the problems he encountered during his practice.
His nervousness gradually disappeared and his answers became more and more fluent.
Until the last two questions.
The penultimate question involved a technique that required a high degree of control. He had tried it but the success rate was not high, so he could only answer vaguely based on his own understanding.
As for the last question, it turned out to be the advanced technique of energy convergence. He hadn't learned this yet, so he could only honestly admit. "Report, I don't know how to do this."
The staff recorded his answer expressionlessly and indicated that he could go aside and wait.
Chen Yu walked next to Zhou Yuxuan, feeling a little unsure.
Zhou Yuxuan glanced at him and said nothing, but the confidence in his eyes seemed to be stronger.
Similar scenes continued to play out on this day in various large and small survivor bases, shelters, and military stations across the country.
Test questions one after another are like a fine sieve, trying to sift out from the vast sea of people those "seeds" who are most talented, most keen, and most diligent about Source Energy.
--
In the evening, Lin Yi finished a round of practice, felt the power replenished in his body, and slowly returned to his tent.
As soon as he opened the door curtain, he was stunned for a moment.
In the tent, there was not only Chen Yu who was waiting for him to come back as usual, but there was also someone who surprised him.
Zhou Yuxuan.
Moreover, the expressions on both of their faces were extremely excited, especially Chen Yu, whose eyes were so bright that they almost glowed.
"Brother Yi, you're back!" When Chen Yu saw him, he immediately jumped up and spoke incoherently excitedly, "Great, great news! We have been chosen!"
Although Zhou Yuxuan tried hard to stay calm, his slightly trembling hands and shining eyes betrayed his inner excitement. He stood up and nodded to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was slightly startled. "Selected? What did you choose?"
"East Vanguard Training Camp!" Chen Yu couldn't wait to explain, "I was suddenly notified in the afternoon. Supreme Command is going to hold a Source Energy training camp in our Helu City. We will select people from all over the country. We have two places in the settlement."
"We received a notice at night, it's just the two of us, Zhou Yuxuan and I!"
He danced excitedly. "We just want to come and ask you in advance, what exactly are you learning in the training camp? Is the training hard? We want to make some preparations in advance, and we can't go and embarrass you!"
Lin Yi It suddenly dawned on me that this was what happened.
The preparatory team moved really fast. As soon as the plan was finalized here, the selection process there was already underway and the results were achieved.
At this rate, Nie Chang and the others should have started deploying on their way back.
Lin Yi is not surprised that Zhou Yuxuan can get the quota.
This guy has good talent, a tough character, and his progress is definitely top-notch among the younger generation.
But when his eyes fell on Chen Yu, who was so excited that his face was red, there was a hint of suspicion that was not easily noticeable.
Chen Yu's progress. Can it be ranked among the top two settlements?
He spends time with Chen Yu every day and knows his level very well.
This guy is really working hard, and he often provides guidance, making rapid progress.
But there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the settlements. Could it be that the progress of military personnel, former athletes, and workers with excellent physical fitness cannot compare with Chen Yu?
This thought just flashed, and Lin Yi reacted immediately.
I'm afraid it's not entirely a question of absolute strength.
The level of Chen Yu may not be undisputedly first or second, but it is definitely no problem to be at the forefront.
Under such circumstances, it was finally decided to give him one of the two precious places, probably because of his Lin Yi's face.
After all, he is Chief Instructor from the training camp, and Chen Yu is his public close friend.
The management of the settlement made this decision, which not only rewards those who work hard, but is also a silent show of goodwill and investment.
"Oh, sure enough, wherever there are people, there are people and sophistication." Lin Yi understood in his heart.
However, he did not intend to interfere or accuse this kind of thing.
He is not a saint who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
Chen Yu is his friend. They are talented and hardworking, but they may not be the top one or two.
But when the level difference is not huge, he will not interfere with the recommended candidates for the settlement.
This has nothing to do with fairness, it's just a reality.
As long as Chen Yu strives for his best and can keep up with the progress of the training camp, that will be enough.
After thinking about this, the suspicion on Lin Yi's face dissipated and he revealed a faint smile, "So that's it. Congratulations."
He looked at the two of them and said in a calm tone, "The preparation team will have detailed plans for the specific training content. However, what I can tell you is that it will never be easy. Be prepared to peel off your skin."
His eyes especially stayed on Chen Yu for a moment. "Once you get in, study hard and don't waste this opportunity."
When Chen Yu and Zhou Yuxuan heard this, the excitement on their faces subsided slightly, replaced by a look of expectation and determination, and they nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, I will do my best!"
"Brother Yi, I will definitely not embarrass you!"
