Chapter 1641: Chapter 825: Outstanding Team_2

"Looks like I need to reassess this team."

But what puzzled Lin Beichen was why his team hadn’t arrived yet despite a considerable amount of time having passed.

Actually, Chen Lin chose another path. They planned to tackle the tough obstacles first, dealing with those hard-to-chew bones first so they have time to address other issues.

The situation was always like this; they just hoped to spend as little time on these obstacles as possible and address all possible subjects at the fastest speed.

The current rankings have already come out, and it worried Lin Beichen that his team is currently at the bottom.

"Chen Lin, you must give it your all. The nation is supporting you from behind. We cannot fall significantly behind in this round."

However, his team wasn’t that simple. At the moment, when facing such a difficult swampy area, their thinking was straightforward.

This time, not only do they need to traverse this swamp, there are mine-clearing tasks waiting for them ahead. To pass these evaluation projects, they must unite and be of one mind, and speed won’t pick up.

However, for other teams, these projects are usually left for last. Because they don’t have to get them all done as long as they do as much as possible to earn decent scores. But everyone knows, if they can complete them all, they would obtain top scores.

Chen Lin’s plan was to blaze a new trail, making judgments based on the team’s strengths. Currently, there are demining experts in the team, and also specialists in swamps and mountain terrain.

Therefore, they decided to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and their speed was not slow. Before long, they obtained the highest point total, swiftly jumping from last to mid-level rankings.

The entire panel of judges was instantly stunned.

"My heavens, how did they do it? Are these so-called obstacles just a walk in the park for them?"

"How would I know? Did they get information in advance? This competition is certainly not simple; maybe that instructor orchestrated a targeted deployment."

"Isn’t it just like guessing exam questions? Simply put, many of them love to guess the questions before every exam, and they always guess it right."

...

These instructors began to worry, especially Francis. Because his team was quick to grab points, but they hadn’t completed a single obstacle project yet.

According to the strategy they had set earlier, they just needed to complete the simple projects in the shortest time and then try to score high in the obstacle projects.

As a result, Chen Lin went against the grain this time, first considering the obstacle projects as advantages to tackle.

Sure enough, both in the swamp area and the subsequent demining zone, they completed the tasks in the shortest possible time, and their ranking skyrocketed to the forefront.

Francis started to sweat.

"No wonder he’s so confident this time, turns out he’s leading a group of geniuses."

"Haha!"

Yu Feng suddenly laughed in front of everyone.

"I bet those judges are all dumbfounded, faced with our team’s unique tactics, they surely didn’t expect this."

"Shut up!"

Chen Lin remained cautious.

"Don’t forget, pride comes before a fall. We are a team now, and until the last moment, you cannot be proud, understand?"

"Alright, alright! You’re the captain, we’ll listen to you."

Yu Feng wasn’t actually unconvinced; he just thought the captain might be too cautious. But the team members also understood that this time, the two captains were indeed outstanding.

Finally, they arrived at the checkpoint managed by Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen began to look forward.

This checkpoint was named "Counter-Terrorism Elite," and as long as they could hit all the targets, they would pretty much pass the level.

Indeed, after successfully hitting those tricky angles, they finally completed the last task, advancing to the next round with a perfect score.

"Well done!"

For them, these three days hardly counted as torment. The only concern still remained the matter of eating.

It’s only the first day, come evening, everyone began to fret; mostly worrying about food possibly running short.

"We still have two days; though the schedule hasn’t reached halfway, I’ve heard even if we complete all projects, we can’t leave early, we must wait until the same finish time."

A soldier recalled this issue, somewhat worried.

"Why, are you scared?"

Chen Lin chuckled.

"That wouldn’t be the case, our task should be more than halfway through now, and probably ranked pretty high, right? Actually, I think we can rest a bit on the way tomorrow and the day after."

"No way!"

Chen Lin shook her head.

"Actually, this outdoor survival training doesn’t include night projects, we can take a rest. But during the day, we must push to proceed fully. Remember one thing, if we find someone pressing us ahead on the journey, we must conduct a long-range analysis and adjust our strategy."

"Then why not start moving at night; after all, our team has been tirelessly on the move at night for three consecutive days, not the first time."

Yu Feng meant that if they can complete the tasks earlier, they shouldn’t waste time, because while they are resting, there will definitely be teams moving forward.

"What’s everyone’s view?"

Chen Lin still wanted to hear their opinions.

"Do we need to say? We can’t let anyone surpass us, we’re a whole, we keep going, never mind all that!"

Thus, after a brief rest, the team reassembled, continuing to advance forward.

At this moment, in the dead of night, aside from them, only the special forces led by Francis were on the move.

However, that special forces team had just received orders to reach the swamp area as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, their team could enter that canyon. It’s said there seemed to be some point-grabbing projects inside that could help them solve problems.

But in the canyon, there was also a place that tested courage—that is, the haunted house, a place designed specifically for nighttime adventure.

"I’ve seen comments saying some teams chose to go during the day due to fear because even going in daylight, the light filtering through makes the inside eerily sinister and scary."

Yu Feng looked over the introduction, thoughtfully considering the matter. Maybe at that moment, he too felt such scenarios would appear before them, but they must find better solutions, or else it would be meaningless.

"I think everyone knows, in this matter, we have the final decision-making power. Why listen to others? What’s wrong with going at night, what to be afraid of?"

Chen Lin made a firm stance, and no one had much more to say.

However, they were all pondering in their hearts, just what kind of woman is this Chen Lin?

Previously in front of everyone, her clothes inexplicably vanished, yet she remained so composed, finally even casually put back on her clothes before everyone.

And this time, she was the first to choose the haunted house. Generally speaking, everyone knows women would be terribly scared to go through such places.

Yu Feng thought so too.

"Captain, you surely must have thought it over, that place is the haunted house."

"So what? You don’t think that just because I’m a woman, I’d be scared, do you? I’ll tell you, this matter isn’t simple. I chose this project because I have the ability. Or are you the ones afraid?"

With that, they arrived outside the haunted house.

This place is the territory of the chief judge.

"Lin Beichen, your team is really impressive, the first to arrive here, at night no less, this is the haunted house—a lot of teams are scared to come here."

Lin Beichen chuckled upon hearing it over the phone.

"Ah, these things, we’re long used to them back at our place. However they scramble about, let’s see how they solve the problem."

"Everyone check your gear!"

Chen Lin immediately started forming the team.

"Listen up, although this haunted house doesn’t really have anything supernatural, it definitely has some storyline designs meant to scare us. At this moment, the guns in your hands are your weapons to protect yourselves. Those NPCs will surely try to eliminate us." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Yes!"

With that, they charged into the haunted house in a battle formation, shocking the chief judge since many people previously entered huddled closely together.
