Chapter 1646 - 828: Final Preparations

Chapter 1646: Chapter 828: Final Preparations

The team screamed in excitement. Next up was the much-anticipated Huaxia Country squad.

Just like before, everyone saw the rubber boats appear in front of them. But just like Francis’s team, they chose to disembark before even getting close to the shoreline.

"This is straight-up plagiarism." someone said unhappily.

But what happened next shocked them. They watched as those guys directly picked up the rubber boats as shields and charged forward one after another.

Right now, they had no time to figure out what was going on. Since reality was right in front of them, all they could do was head downstairs and fight it out. On a narrow road, the brave wins.

So they charged forward like mad. The momentum really scared the head referee silly, leaving him completely at a loss.

"If the head ref keeps hiding in the trench and won’t come out, then what’s the point? Let’s hurry up and outflank them from both sides and surround them."

One instructor came up with this idea and immediately put it into action. But who could have thought that the moment the people on both flanks stuck their heads out, they were picked off one by one by that group of demolition guys—no one survived.

"So they’re just messing with us on purpose, huh?"

This kind of scene was really helpless to the extreme. But reality was already like this, so no one had anything to complain about. They could only race against time and keep charging forward.

The situation gradually changed, and everyone stopped overthinking it. Just like that, they defeated their opponents and all passed smoothly.

In the end, the championship of this round of the competition was shared by two teams. Another seven teams also completed the mission, but because of this sudden battle, many captains couldn’t adapt in time, causing their squads to be wiped out and eliminated.

At this point, the top eight teams were finally decided. Next would be the final round, which would also determine the champion of the first half.

Back at the camp, they didn’t dwell on that match at all. Instead, they burst into loud laughter. Their brutal combat thinking left the other teams on-site completely baffled, not knowing what the hell was going on.

"But did you notice something? We used the rubber boats to form a wall and then charged forward. But Francis’s team relied directly on long-range firepower to form a dense firepower net. In that aspect, their combat capability is stronger than ours."

Chen Lin still sensed the gap between the two teams.

"Actually, what we used was a tactic from The Art of War."

Yu Feng understood in his heart that the best way was to first feel out the enemy’s pattern, then gradually work out countermeasures step by step. That was the best strategy.

"It’s not like I don’t understand you want to slowly build team cohesion, but you’ve got to be clear—the enemy won’t give us time to slowly gel. The fact that we’re still in first this time, and that we took first in the first four rounds, I think is pure luck."

Chen Lin knew very well that these words might cause dissatisfaction, but right now they absolutely could not get complacent because of a bit of success.

"The final show is about to start, and I hope everyone can quickly figure out how to respond. We’re already in the top eight; next will very likely be in the form of head?to?head matches."

Sure enough, the last round adopted a confrontation format, and the grouping had already been announced.

At this point they noticed a problem. To ensure fairness, they were split into two different teams, and strong and weak teams were deliberately mixed together.

"Alright! Here are the rules now: four teams make up one special operations group, and you’ll fight each other. This time there’s only one final champion. The requirement for the champion is simple: as long as one of the teams has at least one member still alive while all other teams are completely eliminated, that team is the champion."

Looked like this was going to be a brutal free?for?all.

"And there is no time limit for this match. The moment the final result appears, that’s when the match ends."

After the head referee finished speaking, he said no more.

To ensure fairness, they allowed all instructors to return to their own teams and help everyone reorganize their strategies.

Lin Beichen finally saw his team members again.

"I actually looked over the data of the other three teams. To be honest, I don’t have much confidence. It feels like I’m leading a bunch of teammates who only drag us down."

Chen Lin was very familiar with those teams’ situations.

"We really do have some deadweights in our lineup, like those at the back of the ranking. Anyway, I heard the guy in eighth place never even thought he’d make it into the final overall round at the start."

Chen Lin felt extremely helpless. Competing with this kind of lineup was like dragging a bunch of boat anchors forward; who knew how many big problems would pop up.

"Do you know what our country’s winning Magical Treasure is? It’s figuring out every possible way to fire people up and get everyone united as one—that’s the united front, got it?"

Lin Beichen could only first persuade everyone to put aside their prejudice against those teammates.

"Especially you commanders. You must be the first to spot other people’s strengths; only then can you really put people to good use. And this time you were picked as captains of the four teams, so overall command is also in your hands."

Yu Feng said helplessly, "Honestly, I really don’t know how to unite them. Look, one after another, they’re all ready to give up on themselves. What else can we get them to do?"

"Don’t forget what our big Magical Treasures are: the united front, the mass line, and ideological education. If we can do these well, what’s there to be afraid of when it comes to forging a powerful team?"
