Chapter 1631: Chapter 820: Rigorous Selection_2

Lin Beichen’s words surprised everyone present.

"Are you suggesting we organize a large-scale selection tournament and have the winning team represent us directly in the competition?"

"Exactly!"

Lin Beichen smiled.

"Everyone is in the Seventh District, even though you belong to different squads, I believe you can all stand out. And even if it’s a temporarily formed team, there’s no need to worry. Moreover, I have already planned the team member selection with two different point projects, one of which is member selection!"

Lin Beichen then explained the tournament rules.

"I need eight different team members, and we also need to select a captain and a vice-captain. There will be different weight ratios for analysis, and ultimately, I’ll judge who gets selected."

"Yes!"

The crowd instantly erupted with excitement, everyone hoped to be selected, knowing that success would be amazing.

However, He Shuixing still had some doubts.

"Is it appropriate for us to do this? If we really proceed like this, will people become reckless in the future?"

"Instructor He, I know you’re the most experienced here. But there’s something you might have forgotten, what are the requirements for our special forces? Is it not to become the strongest?"

Lin Beichen’s question left Instructor He enlightened.

"So this time, I aim to form the strongest team. These people have been in the Seventh District for so long, what if there are conflicts between them? As long as they can win honor for the country, that’s all that matters."

Lin Beichen was already fully prepared, and the project this time was simple, starting with large-scale training.

The next morning, everyone gathered at the training ground.

"Alright! Today’s assessment content only has one item, which is push-ups. I don’t care how long you take or how many you do, once I say start, you keep going until the last person stops, that will determine your ranking."

Everyone was very shocked after hearing this, and with the command, the push-up assessment was officially underway.

This was the largest push-up assessment in the history of the Seventh District.

Lin Beichen sat on the side, deliberately sipping tea leisurely.

He Shuixing watched from the side, heart thumping nervously.

"My God, really using such a brutal method for selection? Won’t it wear those soldiers out?"

"This is normal, everyone can do push-ups, just wait and see. We do our job, there’s no need to worry for them, after all, it’s a competition."

Although there were medical teams on standby on site, everyone knew that for these soldiers, honor was above all.

After some time, surprisingly, a few individuals still persisted, clearly competing against each other.

"See? These people have a fighting spirit; they are exactly the talents I need. Who are they? Quickly write down their names."

He Shuixing glanced over, feeling a bit uneasy, as one of them hadn’t participated in a special forces tournament in a long time.

"Sigh, this person seems to be too old. If they directly compete in the special forces school, I’m afraid it would be hard to achieve good results."

"So what if they’re old? Is there an age limit for competition over there?"

Lin Beichen was not concerned about these things; in his view, breaking conventions to employ talents is the right way.

Almost an hour later, people finally started to drop out one after another.

Based on the final results, the top ten were born.

"Alright, the strength training for this morning is finished. Everyone rests well first, and then get ready for the next assessment in the afternoon!"

Actually, most people did not agree with this training method, but there was no choice, these were the selection tournament rules.

"Seems we really have to start from the most fundamental state. No worries, let’s wait and see, maybe there’s still a chance."

Everyone was mentally prepared.

The selection finally officially started.

The afternoon’s assessment was a tactical project.

"Everyone, this afternoon’s assessment is simple, you must pass through these obstacles in combat condition, understood?"

...

Such harsh assessments left everyone bitter. Within a week, everyone gradually realized, this was not an assessment; it was simply a nightmare.

Many found it impossible to persist and chose to quit.

As time passed, the number of elites dwindled.

After a week, only twenty people remained.

"Haha, I knew it, many people seem quite capable but are actually vulnerable. After just a week, so many couldn’t take it. I really don’t know how you weaklings even got in."

Lin Beichen deliberately mocked from the sidelines.

"In my view, survival of the fittest. I don’t care how you performed in your original units, if you can’t even withstand a week of selection, what else are you but cowards."

Actually, the most crucial part of this selection was the psychological test.

Lin Beichen did something unbelievable, he took everyone to a stinking garbage dump and made everyone swim in the sewage beside the dump.

The stench of the sewage was a huge test for anyone.

The whole afternoon, they were soaking in the water, only getting the chance to shower in the evening.

Many couldn’t cope with the suffering and directly withdrew from the competition.

He Shuixing watched in disbelief. This was definitely not part of his training outline.

But it had to be said, those who remained were elites.

"Everyone, do you think an afternoon is enough? I’ll tell you, where you’re going next is even more disgusting. You’re going to live there for three days."

With that, Lin Beichen led everyone to a foul-smelling ditch beside the garbage dump, various disgusting smells mixing together, coupled with the high summer temperatures, everyone understood what this meant.

"Everyone, you just need to live here for three days."

"Three days?"

At the critical moment, someone couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Don’t you know to report before speaking? Forgot the rules already? Does someone like you still qualify to continue the competition? Eliminated!"

Now, only nineteen people were left.

These people dared not become careless anymore.

"In three days, you do whatever you want, I won’t require you to undergo any training. You must manage food, clothing, and supplies yourselves, but cannot step out of this area. We’ll air-drop supplies once a day, but the exact location is uncertain."

Lin Beichen knew clearly, if pressure is to be felt by these people, measures like these must be taken; otherwise, consequences would be unimaginable.

"This..."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do next. It seemed, things were becoming ever more daunting.

He Shuixing couldn’t hold back this time.

"Lin Beichen, do we really have to proceed according to your way? My skills exceed yours, but if we continue tormenting like this, people will fall ill before the selection even concludes." He Shuixing questioned angrily.

Lin Beichen laughed at hearing this.

"You can stop this operation, but only if you come up with a selection plan that satisfies me. If you can’t achieve this, I’d rather abandon this tournament, at worst get scolded, at worst leave right from here."

Lin Beichen had confidence in his heart.

Since he returned to the country, many people wanted to recruit him.

But he always thought life was too boring, hence avoided getting involved in those matters. If it wasn’t for later being bored at home, he wouldn’t have come to this place.

He Shuixing was speechless by Lin Beichen’s words.

Lin Beichen didn’t think further, returning directly to the monitoring room to continue observing those struggling to survive in the garbage heap.

The soldiers in the garbage heap were helpless, a three-day duration with insufficiently dropped supplies.

At noon, a helicopter finally appeared, air-dropping a batch of supplies. The soldiers rushed over, only to find it wasn’t enough to go around.

"Is this supposed to be for a day?" Someone questioned.

The response was that these supplies indeed only sufficed for one day.
