The beauty of living, everyone can experience it, and precisely because of that beauty, people fear death.
Just as Joshua Bailey said, this is human nature.
The only difference is whether you have the courage to persevere and face the most terrifying death.
Joshua Bailey waited a full three minutes.
For the trainees, every second felt extremely long and arduous. After the three minutes passed, the torment of each second was enough to pressurize them to the point of suffocation.
But, no one chose to back down.
Even though they were scared, anxious, and panicked, each of them was determined and persistent, as if they were ready to fight to the death.
Nobody was willing to give up just like that.
"If no one gives up," Joshua Bailey finally spoke again, but his tone was noticeably heavier, "we’ll start distributing the actions. All locations are in the jungle areas, with dense trees and low visibility, so we’re planning to use a carpet-style search. Due to insufficient manpower, we’ll be searching in pairs, reporting the situation at any time. At the latest, every half hour, you must report the situation to us, do you all understand?!"
"Understood!"
At once, everyone responded in unison.
Such stern words also made the trainees on the scene feel tense, and their emotions about this real battle became inexplicably more complex.
To be honest, they had thought about how cruel the final test might be, but they never expected it would be a real battle.
Their psychological preparation was not fully sufficient, and they still needed time to buffer.
Upon hearing this, Joshua Bailey didn’t continue to nag and instead directly pulled out the list to start arranging their groups.
As per the opinions of Joe Hazel and Glenn Hutchinson, Flossie Wright and Cassie Ferguson were assigned to the same group. The two incompatible individuals being paired together at such a time truly surprised the others. Luckily, Flossie Wright was already mentally prepared, and Cassie Ferguson’s emotions were not shown, so the two parties involved didn’t have much reaction.
Other than these two, everyone else was grouped according to "familiarity."
For example, Sandy Cruz and Rowdy Brightwill were a group, Belinda Nichols and Iris Dukes were a group, Devina Millet and Chloe Bell were a group, Joe Hazel and Jessie Grain were a group...
After the teams were allocated, Joshua Bailey had nothing more to say.
During the action, what to do, what is possible to do, what should be done, they’ve been taught bit by bit during the usual training sessions. Those who could persist until now have passed all the skills and mastered them proficiently. Otherwise, bringing them to the battlefield would just be a burden.
And now, the only thing these instructors need to know is whether this batch of trainees can adapt to the battlefield!
Whether they can face death.
Whether they are unwilling to sacrifice just like this.
Whether they will desert on the field.
Whether they have the qualification to stand alongside them!
𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
This is the final test.
Once they meet all the standards in various skills, the only test remaining is whether they have the qualification to become a member of Aaron Doom.
Aaron Doom requires not merely brutes who know only how to charge into battle, but a group of truly flesh-and-blood sharpest swords of the nation!
They are the fiercest weapons in the dark, the best killers without shedding blood.
And, those who are only bloodthirsty, or unwilling to see blood, can only serve the country elsewhere.
Joshua Bailey was also nervous.
There were so many promising seedlings here, he hoped everyone could pass. If these promising seedlings, selected painstakingly until now by them, were really let go at this juncture, then—
One could only say the good cabbage was uprooted by a pig!
Such a pity!
So painful!
Joshua Bailey sighed secretly.
The sky gradually brightened, until the sun rose, and the helicopter finally landed in the primeval forest area.
Everyone descended silently, and at the secret location, there was already a large truck waiting.
With an order from Joshua Bailey, everyone boarded the truck and quickly went to retrieve their equipment.
There was a lot of equipment, but it was all combat gear.
Various guns, live ammunition, bulletproof vests, and other miscellaneous items.
Flossie Wright, upon receiving the "live ammunition," specially weighed it in her hand to test the feel.
Unexpectedly, it was indeed live ammunition.
This time, Glenn Hutchinson and the others were really going all out.
Flossie Wright didn’t notice that only she and a few others had real live ammunition, while the rest had something with a certain gap from live ammunition.
Since it was "real battle," the aim was to be as "authentic" as possible, so all the scenarios and settings were thoroughly simulated. Only those with enough experience could possibly spot the flaws.
Furthermore, according to each person’s abilities and characteristics, even the equipment was mixed with some degree of authenticity, which made it even more convincing.
After collecting the equipment, with another order from Joshua Bailey, they regrouped collectively.
Soon, everyone stood neatly in front of him.
"Watch out for safety, remember to report any situation at any time," With a simple instruction, Joshua Bailey’s expression was cold, and he finished with a low shout, "Action!"
Words fell.
Immediately, all the teams tacitly understood and dispersed in all directions!
The operation truly began!
