Xu Jintang's gaze fell on the rank insignia on Gu Xiuwen's right shoulder, which was the rank of major.
"Comrade Gu Xiuwen comes from the Federation Command Bureau and possesses top-notch command thinking and operational guidance capabilities. With his guidance, I believe you will gain even more from the internship program over the next month." After saying this, Wang Yile took a half step back and slightly turned to make room for Gu Xiuwen.
Gu Xiuwen took a step and stepped onto the training ground's arena, steadily walking to the center of the stage.
Hello, nice to meet you.
His gaze swept across the entire room, his steady voice carrying a hint of magnetism.
After the meeting, the trainees who failed the assessment packed their bags and left the Command Camp.
Xu Jintang and Mo Yuqi walked towards the dormitory together.
" The Command Bureau actually sent a major-level leader to lead us," Mo Yuqi muttered in bewilderment.
Xu Jintang didn't reply, still deep in thought about Gu Xiuwen.
In a mountain cave ten kilometers away from the Command Camp.
Shi Anyu, who had been engrossed in operating the hacking device, suddenly looked up, snapped his fingers at his teammate, and said, "OK, we've got all the data. Notify the rest of you to retreat."
"Boss, Wang Qian has already infiltrated the Command Camp. I doubt anyone will discover her identity."
Shi Anyu scratched his chin. "Then let her hold back and collect as much evidence as possible."
"Yes!"
After speaking, Shi Anyu quickly put away the hacking device in his hand, clapped his hands, and stood up.
He gazed at the Command Camp buildings that were faintly visible in the distance, and slowly curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
"Let's leave the Federation with one last surprise before we go."
It was midday, and everyone in the Command Camp was taking a nap; the entire camp was very quiet.
Only patrolling guards were going back and forth to inspect the area.
Suddenly, a loud "bang" was heard.
A firework rose directly above the Command Camp, exploding outwards like a shooting star.
The commotion instantly caught the attention of the patrolling guards, and everyone became alert and on guard at the same time.
The alarm bells at the Command Camp were sounded again.
Xu Jintang, who was cultivating, paused for half a second and looked up at the window.
After the fireworks display, a striking silver circular planet pattern was left in the sky, marking the emblem of the Reform Society.
"How arrogant! They actually dare to come to the Command Camp to set off fireworks." Mo Yuqi, who was next door, said coldly after seeing this scene, her face darkening.
Xu Jintang withdrew his gaze. "With so many men from the Command Camp yesterday, how come they didn't catch them?"
After the incident yesterday, the Command Camp immediately cordoned off the scene and began an investigation.
They couldn't find a single member of the Reform Society.
Mo Yuqi's expression turned serious. " The Reform Society isn't as simple as you think. Many members of their group are geniuses with talents far exceeding those of ordinary people. They are not only strong in combat but also highly intelligent, and their combat methods are unpredictable and difficult to catch."
Xu Jintang was even more curious, "Logically speaking, such geniuses should be receiving attention from military academies and the Federation, so why would they join the Reform Society?"
"Perhaps their talent is too high, and they find life too boring, so they have to do something special to make themselves noticed," Mo Yuqi replied casually.
The sudden explosion of fireworks at the Reform Society once again jolted the Command Camp for an entire afternoon.
However, the result was still the same. After a long period of investigation and sealing off the area, not a trace of the Reform Society was found. The matter had to be temporarily put aside and handed over to the Administration Bureau for further investigation.
"The final scene of the extreme cold plateau survival assessment, an avalanche, was designed to test everyone's reaction to sudden emergencies. Most survivors chose to flee immediately, but a small number reacted too slowly and were buried forever under the snow before they could even react when the avalanche struck. This is a typical example of being too well protected and lacking the most basic survival skills."
"Next, we will focus on increasing training in this area," Gu Xiuwen said calmly, his hands behind his back.
Xu Jintang immediately raised his hand. "Report!"
Gu Xiuwen looked up at her and said, "Speak."
"If our final assessment hadn't been interrupted and had proceeded normally, what would our final fate have been in the face of the avalanche? Would the avalanche have stopped? Would we have had a chance to escape safely?"
Gu Xiuwen replied, "The avalanche won't stop, and you won't have a chance to escape safely. It's just a matter of whether you're buried alive first or later."
These words stunned all the trainee soldiers.
"Isn't that just sending us all to our deaths?"
"What's the point of this assessment? Is it to experience the feeling of death?"
"No wonder they only eliminated the trainees who were eliminated before the avalanche. So the final avalanche won't eliminate anyone."
Gu Xiuwen surveyed the entire room, his voice cold and clear, and said, "Some of you have already guessed the correct answer to the meaning of the avalanche. That's right, it's to let you experience the feeling of death."
"Being buried alive in the snow doesn't kill you instantly. The time you spend waiting to die will be the most agonizing and desperate moment of your lives. But unfortunately, I couldn't let all of you experience that feeling."
Xu Jintang's lips twitched.
Thankfully, I didn't get to experience it.
The expressions on the faces of the others also twitched to varying degrees.
"After yesterday's two assessments, the Command Camp now has 198 trainee soldiers remaining. Based on your individual performance in the assessments, we have already assigned you to teams. Now, my assistant will announce the team assignments to you."
After he finished speaking, one of Gu Xiuwen's men immediately stepped forward, took out a list, and began to call out names one by one.
"This time, the teams will be divided into groups of five. The team whose names I'm calling now is the first training team of the Command Camp battalion."
" Xu Jintang, Mo Yuqi, Fatty Fang, Fang Kexin, Wang Qian."
The five people who were called immediately stepped out of the ranks and stood in a row outside the square formation.
Gu Xiuwen walked up to Xu Jintang and the other four, glanced at them, and said, "I will personally escort the five of you. Follow me."
Xu Jintang looked around, then immediately straightened his back, stood at attention, and replied, "Yes!"
She turned around first and followed Gu Xiuwen.
Fifteen minutes later, Gu Xiuwen pushed open the door to the command center and led Xu Jintang and the other four people inside.
"Our first lesson today is a tour of the command center, where you'll familiarize yourself with every combat system and piece of equipment. Feel free to look around and ask questions if you have any questions," Gu Xiuwen said, turning to face the five people.
Xu Jintang immediately raised his hand. "I have a question, does Captain Gu do any other side jobs besides?"
Gu Xiuwen was taken aback.
Others, hearing this question, also gathered around to look.
Gu Xiuwen cleared his throat and replied, "To be precise, my part-time job is to lead your training."
"So your main job is being a black market boss?" Xu Jintang continued to ask.
Gu Xiuwen's gaze met hers, his voice magnetic, "I suppose so."
Upon learning of this Fatty Fang's eyes widened immediately.
"The black market boss? Is that the black market I know?"
Fang Kexin and the others were clearly curious as well, and they all turned their heads.
However, Gu Xiuwen clearly didn't want to continue this topic and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Why are you looking at me? Your mission is to visit the command center."
After confirming that he hadn't mistaken the person for someone else, Xu Jintang didn't pursue the matter further and quickly turned around to look around.
The command center is very large, with each area divided by partitions of different colors.
The red area is the core hub area, which can control all kinds of equipment and machinery in the entire Command Camp.
The green zone is the cross-battalion communication zone, which allows direct communication across systems with the Armament Camp, Logistics Camp, and Recruit Camp, and the issuance of operational instructions to them.
The yellow area is the monitoring zone, which can be monitored in real time via satellite to detect everything within a radius of 100 kilometers.
The blue area is a rest area where personnel in the command center can relax.
Xu Jintang walked through each area one by one, then stopped at the yellow area. She pointed to the control panel opposite her and looked at Gu Xiuwen, "Can I try it out?"
Gu Xiuwen turned his head. "Of course."
After speaking, he went to the yellow area, stood in front of the safety lock, and began facial recognition.
Once the identification is successful, the security lock will emit a "beep" sound.
At the same time, the safety doors slowly opened to both sides.
Xu Jintang arrived at the central control console.
The huge light screen that occupied half of the wall was cut into countless small surveillance images.
Each small box displays the current situation being captured by satellite surveillance.
Xu Jintang bent down slightly, grasped the lever on the control panel, and gently pulled it backward.
The surveillance footage immediately began to move.
The lever directly controls the movement of the satellite monitors; when she pulls it, all the external satellite monitors rotate along with it.
Fatty Fang followed him in curiously, staring in astonishment at the surveillance footage before him. "Our every move is clearly visible on this satellite monitor!"
Xu Jintang nodded, "Mm."
She continued to push the lever, and soon the monitoring screen focused on the training field.
A patrolling guard walked past the satellite surveillance camera, his face expressionless, lips tightly pressed together, weapon in his hand, and he walked forward with steady steps.
After watching the surveillance footage for a while, Xu Jintang gained a new understanding of the Federation's satellite surveillance technology.
An hour later, the five people finished visiting and experiencing all the equipment and functions in all areas, and they were all unanimously amazed by the Federation's advanced technology.
"The basic knowledge you need to master to enter the Command Camp is several times that of other military battalions. You'll need to work hard over the next month," Gu Xiuwen said calmly.
Fang Kexin raised her hand and asked, " Captain Gu, I heard that after a month of training, we'll have a simulated combat assessment?"
