Chapter 1632: Chapter 821: Truly Deserving

To keep their stomachs full, they had to search around this junkyard.

Although it’s a junkyard, it’s not completely impossible to find food.

But the situation is indeed awkward, and if things continue like this, the consequences could be dire.

The soldiers had no choice but to continue waiting bitterly in the piles of garbage.

However, this place was dirty, chaotic, and shabby, and they couldn’t find any opportunity to improve their circumstances.

Lin Beichen looked at the big screen and smiled slightly.

"It seems they haven’t suffered enough. Until now, they don’t know how people survive in the jungle under harsh conditions abroad."

In fact, the environment in many parts of Southeast Asia is worse than here.

People there, to survive, have to rummage through garbage all day, trying every means to fill their bellies. Despite many falling sick and their health deteriorating, they still persist tenaciously and maintain strong combat skills. Lin Beichen has always been very curious about this phenomenon.

He Shuixing couldn’t bear it anymore.

"Lin Beichen, come over for a moment, I have something to ask you."

In the room, the two actually placed a bottle of wine on the table.

"I had a bad attitude during the day and clashed with you; I couldn’t help it. But I have one question: why are you being so tough on these soldiers? They are our brothers and sisters."

"I know that the conditions of our country’s army are continuously improving, and the country has indeed made significant efforts to improve everyone’s living conditions."

Lin Beichen shook his head helplessly.

"But it seems we’ve all forgotten one thing: why did we enlist in the first place? Was it just to make ourselves happy? Isn’t the army’s task to defend the country? If we can’t even manage this, what face do we have to stand before everyone?"

His words left Instructor He deeply shocked.

"Moreover, as the living standards of our country’s people improve, many have lost the ancestors’ resilience and spirit of enduring hardships. In other words, even if these soldiers faced hardship before, can it be harder than those in countries where people can’t even eat?"

Upon hearing this, He Shuixing nodded.

"I’ve stayed in Southeast Asia before; I know how people over there live."

Lin Beichen simply recounted his overseas experiences again in detail, and He Shuixing was directly shocked after listening.

"Could this matter be truly unimaginable? If so, I will certainly never do such meaningless things in the future."

"You must understand what’s most important. Our current efforts are all for a better future. Defending the country is everyone’s responsibility. Although this time we’re just competing abroad, participating in special forces training, do you know what the situation is over there?"

Lin Beichen always remembered the week he spent locked in a stinking drain during selection. When he was once locked in a watery dungeon, many couldn’t endure it, but he remained calm because he had received training in this regard.

It was only then that He Shuixing realized why this man before him could overcome challenges all along and defeat him effortlessly from the start.

The instructor sent by Chen Bin this time was truly an exceptional talent. It seemed he had to learn from this person for some time.

After several days of rigorous selection, only ten people remained.

"Haha! It seems after all this selection, these ten have emerged victorious. I must say, their overall qualities are indeed outstanding."

Sure enough, outstanding individuals always exhibit extraordinary skills, ranking top in overall qualities and other evaluations.

"Alright, I think the competition is just about over. With these ten, I can select personnel for international special forces training."

Upon hearing this, these ten individuals were all astounded.

Does this mean they qualify?

However, being the final ones standing, indeed left many in the Seventh District speechless, given the brutal nature of such selection was a first.

"But each of you has your flaws."

Lin Beichen was frank, directly speaking his mind.

"Take you, Yu Feng, for example. Your skills are impressive, and your leadership is prominent, but your biggest issue is your arrogance, feeling invincible at crucial moments."

Yu Feng could only silently accept Lin Beichen’s criticism.

"Yu Feng, this time you will be the deputy team leader. Your tactical competence is decent, and the reason for your position is that mindset, making it difficult to lead the team forward. Hence, you’re better suited as the team’s strategist, leveraging your strengths in this area."

Upon hearing the outcome, Yu Feng looked at Lin Beichen in surprise.

"Report!"

He unhesitatingly shouted these two words.

"You want to argue? Okay."

"I want to know who can lead this team forward. If it is someone I truly respect, I’ll willingly step down as team leader!"

"Alright!"

Lin Beichen laughed.

"Chen Lin, you will be the team leader."

A female team leader?

This is a first!

Yu Feng was indeed unconvinced.

"Report! I’m not convinced. I want to compete with Chen Lin once more to determine who should be the actual team leader."

"Alright!"

Chen Lin couldn’t stand it any longer.

"All this time, you really think you can defeat me? I tell you, according to various data, you’re simply not my match. I don’t care how stubborn you are; at least now, you can’t say anything against me."
