Chapter 1613: Chapter 810: Psychological Trauma (Part 2)

In front of everyone, the two of them stepped forward.

"As agreed, there’s only one chance."

"One is enough."

The soldier’s attitude was extremely arrogant.

Lin Beichen still used his old method; since the opponent was attacking first this time, he would defend first. However, he noticed that this person’s punch technique had improved since last time.

It seems that before this, he had indeed put effort into practicing. But even so, there were still flaws. However, Lin Beichen planned to let him have his moment of pride for a while.

"You, if you have the skills, hit straightforwardly. What’s the point of dodging and hiding all the time?"

"Fine! As you wish, I won’t dodge then."

Lin Beichen suddenly launched an attack, delivering a sequence of punches, leaving that soldier unable to retaliate.

As a result, the soldier was hit into a daze.

"Want to continue?"

"I yield. But, you have to tell me, why can you defeat me? Your moves don’t seem all that, and your physical condition isn’t better than mine."

"That’s because you don’t know how to use your brain. You’ve always thought that in the Seventh District, no one could beat you. But when it comes to the battlefield, you guys haven’t fought much, have you? Do you think those desperadoes will retreat just because of your strength?"

Everyone was silent upon hearing this.

"The reason I’m strong is that I have been through it all in real combat. The cases I’ve experienced are far more than yours."

Yet, everyone seemed not to take Lin Beichen’s words seriously.

"Instructor, we won’t mess with you anymore. But you said you’ve been in real combat. I think everyone here actually has had combat experience."

A soldier appeared somewhat discontented, as going to the battlefield was almost routine to them, requiring no extra thought.

"Then let me ask you a question: have you ever killed someone?"

Hearing this question, everyone laughed.

They thought Lin Beichen had asked an utterly low-level question, as going to the battlefield was precisely to kill the enemy—what else would they do?

"No, you misunderstood me. I mean, have you ever seen someone you killed with your own hands fall right in front of you, or found yourself in a situation where you’re pushed to the brink? What I’m teaching you, including the rigorous training that follows, is all to ensure that when you’re soldiers, you can protect yourselves and even not betray in dire straits."

Lin Beichen indeed had the authority to speak on this matter.

After all, the trials he went through abroad were beyond what a normal person could imagine.

"Moreover, real combat is far from as simple as you imagine. Our living conditions are too good, and the battlefield environment is also relatively comfortable. You haven’t fought in those harsh places. If now you’re sent to a place full of bugs, humid and hot, where daily worries about mosquito bites prevail, and you can’t even use perfume, give it a try."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

In their country, such a forest environment indeed existed, but at the border regions, for various reasons, they couldn’t train there at all.

This pampered lifestyle of theirs made them feel particularly powerful, even disregarding others.

This is the biggest problem now, do you understand what I mean? The only thing you need to do is to quickly gather your willpower.

Perhaps, this is just the beginning.

These words didn’t leave a significant impact on everyone, after all, they had seen similar plots in some online literature or TV shows.

"Guys, want to experience this sudden thrill? If you’re willing, I’ll immediately submit a report. Don’t you all think you’re very capable? Surely you won’t back down in this place, right?"

Everyone, hearing this, felt a bit uneasy, but if they showed cowardice in front of the paratroopers, how could they stand firm in this district later?

As a result, everyone raised their hands one by one.

"Alright! It seems you’re still unconvinced. In that case, we will prepare right away, I’ll submit the report application, and then directly take you into the mountains."

Chen Bin immediately approved after seeing the report.

Actually, this plan was very harsh, they had no medical support team, unless they withdrew from the assessment, they had no other choices.

Several days later, when everyone heard that the plan was approved, they showed embarrassed expressions.

As a result, today’s lunch was exceptionally lavish.

"Guys, have you thought about what to do today? Our main task today is to let everyone enjoy the tofu pudding to the fullest."

The soldiers didn’t know what was coming up next, so they simply seized the opportunity to eat heartily.

Lin Beichen was among those who enjoyed the meal most.

In his view, those people might have had similar experiences in combat, but bringing those directly into this context was no easy task.

Moreover, everyone didn’t understand the true situation, and if something really went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable. Yet they had no way out.

Finally, the operation commenced.

"Everyone, don’t worry too much, I think we should be able to solve all issues. You just need to follow my instructions."

Lin Beichen indeed enjoyed the meal more and more.

Meanwhile, the soldiers beside him still weren’t sure what to do, eating while chatting.

"Could it be that the instructor is showing mercy today? Our meals here are a hit or miss, and it’s the first time it’s been so unexpectedly lavish like today."

"No idea, anyway, just hurry and eat, it seems there aren’t any restrictions today, and you can eat while chatting, feels really different."

"Look at that person smiling like a flower; I guess this matter may not be that simple."

...

The group chatted on, but after finishing their meal, a large bus appeared before them.

"Go back and get ready, you can wear regular uniforms today."

Even now, they didn’t know what was going to happen, which even the instructors found quite strange.

"You’ll understand once you get there, but none of you should have anything to fear!"

At this moment, everyone was assembled, each dressed neatly and energetically.

"Not bad! From now on, I’ll announce one thing, the assessment officially begins. Our requirement is simple, after completing this task, everyone can have a good meal tonight."

Upon hearing this, they chuckled, thinking it couldn’t be that simple, could it? Could anything possibly go wrong in the end?

The soldiers confidently boarded the vehicle, feeling quite smug on the trip, as per today’s schedule, each of them could take it easy.

They even were allowed to bring their phones, surf online, watch short videos, listen to music, and it couldn’t be more comfortable.

The soldiers were in a great mood, feeling they had met an extraordinarily understanding instructor. However, little did they know that ahead awaited something that would shock them, a reality they found hard to accept.

On the way, the soldiers became more and more at ease. After all, they hadn’t been to the city in a long time, and seeing the heavy traffic on the overpass and the skyscrapers lining up gave them great comfort.

But gradually, they sensed something was wrong, as the route seemingly wasn’t heading to the city center.

As they continued, they found the situation becoming more severe, with many police cars appearing around them, and various situations following one after another.

"Where are we?" someone couldn’t help but ask.

Looking further ahead, several prisoners emerged into their view.

Their curiosity was piqued, craning their necks to look.

At this point, they realized they had arrived in front of a large prison.

"What are we doing at a prison?" a soldier asked, full of confusion.

"Oh, there’s something I need to tell you, today we are going to witness an execution scene, you should understand what this means," Lin Beichen said.

Execution?

Upon hearing this, the soldiers were taken aback.

They immediately associated it with the bloody scene after an execution, prompting a surge of nausea, never imagining that the delicious tofu pudding from lunch would be linked to such a scene.

"Oh my god, I want to go back, had I known, I wouldn’t have eaten so much at lunch," a soldier regretted saying.

Lin Beichen just smiled and said, "This is a task and part of the assessment. I mentioned that as long as everyone successfully completes it, you can have a hearty meal tonight, this counts as passing the first level."
