C289 Mountain Entering
Shen Lang's guess was right. The next afternoon, everyone was summoned to the training field.1
In the middle of the night, when the Earth Bear was chasing Que De, they had almost ran all over the camp. The training grounds were unavoidably destroyed by the Earth Bear and there were large craters all over the ground, which were even worse than after the earthquake.
"Soldiers, we use our troops every day. After more than a month of training, you all already possess the basic qualities of a soldier. "Next, it's time to test you guys …" One of the instructors who spoke to Shen Lang and Fu Pingtao yesterday, the male instructor with a high nose, stepped forward to speak.
What he said at the start was nothing but blabbering. It took him two or three minutes to get down to business.
"In this mountain forest, an unknown vicious beast broke in. Its destructive power is extremely great, and it seriously endangers the safety of this area. Your mission is to kill those Vicious Beasts under the leadership of the instructors, and also to make this place peaceful. "
As the officer with the high nose spoke, his eyes kept scanning the recruits' faces, observing the changes in everyone's expression. Seeing that most of them were crying, he added, "Indeed, this mission is very dangerous, but the rewards you can get are also very generous. We have already done a simple exploration of this forest. There are many Source Ore, Source Herb, and even gold ores. As the name implied, Source Herb was a spirit grass that could absorb the natural energy from heaven and earth, formed for all eternity. Source Herb was just a general term, but there were actually many types that were beneficial to cultivating Origin Energy, much more precious than Source Ore. Furthermore, the gold ores inside the gold mine were smashed into pieces by the fierce beasts, scattering in all directions. As long as your luck is good and your strength is strong enough, you can search for them as much as you want. But the premise is, do not forget our discipline, and the first priority is to carry out the mission. "
People die for money. Hearing that there were so many good things in the forest, everyone's mood clearly rose.
"Also, this time, it's not only our team that's going to perform missions in the forest, but the other teams as well. The training camp will give everyone a uniform for their field uniforms, so even if you don't know each other, you'll be able to recognize them by looking at their uniforms. Other than that, there would be other Source Cultivator searching for treasures in the forest. These people all had different thoughts and were just like the fierce beasts, filled with danger. They had to be careful, and when necessary, they could take extreme measures. The elite class, as the best of the recruits, will lead the charge for us. Tonight, the ten squads of elite squads will depart. "
Next, he explained some basic rules as well as the distribution of various materials.
Shen Lang's speculations basically matched one to one.
Each of them was given a military pack, five guns, a submachine gun, a submachine gun, two pistols, a signal gun, two clip straps, and a walkie-talkie.
In addition, there was a powerful weapon, a box of capsule bombs and a box of twelve pills. Usually, this kind of capsule hydrogen bomb wouldn't explode even if it was burned down. When detonating, it would need a signal gun. After the signal gun's activation device activated it, it would explode. A small hydrogen capsule had the power to destroy a skyscraper.
Returning to the tent, Shen Lang began to check the contents of the backpack: a suit in a compression bag, a first-aid kit, a small jar of salt, a multifunction knife, a kettle, cigarettes, chocolate, beef jerky, a map of the forest, and a picture of a ferocious beast. In the photo, the killer looked like a cross between a rhinoceros and an elephant. On the back of the photo, there was a single word — target.
There were many routes drawn on the map. All of the routes converged onto a red dot. Beside the red dot, there were three short words written beside it: "Destination."
The so-called destination should be the entrance to the spatial passageway. As for the ferocious beasts in the picture, they were the giant protective beasts that came out of the spatial passageway.
Along the way, they had to avoid the attacks of the fierce beasts in the forest, and they also had to kill the huge guardian beasts they encountered along the way to reach their destination. After arriving there, the mission wouldn't be completed. That was the home of the guardian beast, and there would definitely be a fierce battle to come.
After the battle, the journey back from there was still extremely dangerous.
What Shen Lang didn't understand was, since the spatial tunnel was for people to go in and out, why was it set up in such a remote and dangerous place?
With more than five hundred recruits in the training camp, perhaps not even a tenth of them will be able to reach there.
Shen Lang poured out everything in his bag, leaving only his clothes, first aid kit, canteen, chocolate and salt. There were many berserk beasts in the forest and many wild fruits, so there was no need to bring too much food.
Then, Shen Lang asked Tu Dou and the others to take out some of the things in the backpack, and from under the bed, he pulled out a handbag to open. He gave each of them a few small jars of Source Energy, and put the remaining jars into his backpack. Seeing that there was still a lot of space in his backpack, Shen Lang thought for a moment, then took out two more cigarettes and put them in.
"There are some important items that everyone should carry around with them. This way, even if you lose your backpack, you can still have some protection." Shen Lang said, then asked Dashun, "Dashun, how is your arm?"
"It's about time. It won't affect my strength anymore." Dashun stretched his swollen arm and said.
Shen Lang now understood that the military merits Dong Qian mentioned previously referred to this time's operation in the forest. He had originally planned to tell Tu Dou, Dashun, and the others. However, upon thinking that their strength was still insufficient, it was still too early to build merits for him, and saving his life was the most important, so he did not say it.
When evening approached, the ten squads of the elite class were divided into five squads, led by five instructors. They were divided into five squads and entered the forest.
Shen Lang's group also had a New-advanced Class team, which was led by Chen Zhenglai and a male instructor called Wu Yue, who was at the ninth level of the Common Rank. Shen Lang recognized that this male instructor called Wu Jiang was the instructor that crushed the head of a new recruit who broke the rules on the first day of the recruit training.
As for the team that Shen Lang and the others were in, He Yutang was also among them.
On the way into the forest, Wu Kui kept a cold face and didn't say a word. Chen Zhenglai's attitude was much more amiable. From time to time, he would tell Shen Lang and the others about the situation in the forest. Many of the contents were not mentioned by the high-nose instructor in the afternoon.
