Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Inside the position, three heads were huddled together, staring at the screen in front of them.

"Hey, they're going into the water. This is going to be interesting. Do you think they can swim over?" Zhang Anbang commented while cracking sunflower seeds.

"Hmph," Gao Cheng snorted coldly, "You guys are just messing around. This temperature, combined with their current physical condition, is going to kill them."

As he spoke, Gao Cheng glared at Zhang Anbang, then looked fiercely at Yuan Lang.

"Hey, hey, Deputy Battalion Commander Gao, it's all a mission. They don't have to go into the water. Nobody forced them," Yuan Lang said, shrugging as he peeled peanuts, looking completely innocent.

"You," Gao Cheng was speechless. He spoke so casually, even though the entire position was completely surrounded, with the command post placed in the central depression.

Three sides were lined with machine gun outposts, leaving only one side open, backed against the pond.

You even said you wanted to wait for them at the finish line to get a map of the battle position, but there weren't any high points around to observe. Were you just forcing them into the water? And you still act all innocent. You're shameless.

Wu Liuyi and Xu Sanduo arrived at the gentle edge of the pond, carefully observed their surroundings, and seeing that there was nothing amiss, they picked up their backpacks and slowly crawled towards the water's edge.

However, they did not notice that not far from them, on two large trees at the edge of the pond, two cameras were working tirelessly, transmitting the situation of the entire pond to the command post inside the position.

The puddle wasn't deep, only a little over two meters. Wu Liuyi and Xu Sanduo quietly entered the water, carefully holding their backpacks to their chests, and slowly waded forward, afraid of making any noise that might attract the attention of the guards.

All four people were watching the two people in the water at the same time, except that three of them were sitting in a warm tent, eating peanuts and melon seeds, and watching through a screen.

The other person was starving and lay on the cold ground, looking through the scope of a sniper rifle.

With a pale face, Wu Liuyi waded through the water and asked softly, "Xu Sanduo, how are you? Can you still hold on? If not, speak up."

"Hold on, I can hold on," Xu Sanduo, whose face was also deathly pale, stammered as he replied.

"Don't grit your teeth, the more you grit them, the more they'll shake," Wu Liuyi whispered, sharing his experience.

"I...I didn't grit my teeth," Xu Sanduo tried hard to control himself, but his teeth still clenched slightly, though less so than before.

Hearing Xu Sanduo's voice, Wu Liuyi knew that Xu Sanduo was nearing his limit under the stimulation of the icy lake water, and gently called out, "Think about things, think about things, Xu Sanduo, think about things, don't relax."

Xu Sanduo's stammering grew louder, "Think, think, think about what?"

Wu Liuyi didn't realize for a moment that he was actually close to his limit, and his current state was entirely due to his iron will. "Think, think, think until it burns."

"It's so hot, so, so scalding," Xu Sanduo said in a trembling voice, as if he was about to faint. "But, it's actually quite comfortable. Cheng Cai should try it."

"Yes, you're right. Keep talking, don't stop," Wu Liuyi said. This was the first time he had been so gentle with Xu Sanduo. He had no choice; if Xu Sanduo fainted here, it would be troublesome.

"I want to laugh, and I also want to cry."

Despite his physical discomfort, Wu Liuyi comforted Xu Sanduo, saying, "From now on, let's do it together."

"Together, okay, together, I, I miss the class monitor..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Sanduo fell silent. Wu Liuyi sensed something was wrong and turned his head to see Xu Sanduo clutching his backpack tightly with both hands, his head already tilted back and submerged in the water.

He quickly grabbed Xu Sanduo, "Don't sleep, Xu Sanduo, don't sleep, blow the reveille, the whole company assemble!"

Xu Sanduo mumbled incoherently, "The company... the company is gone."

Wu Liuyi's voice trembled, "The whole company, the whole company is waiting for you, squad leader, squad leader, you got scolded again. They made me come and call you because you're not up to par."

Whoosh!

Inside the command post, Gao Cheng suddenly stood up, his movement so abrupt that it tilted the chair. His voice was full of anger, "You, you guys, given the situation, why aren't you rushing to rescue them?"

Yuan Lang glanced up at Gao Cheng. "Deputy Battalion Commander Gao, don't you trust your soldiers?"

"You, this isn't a matter of belief or disbelief," Gao Cheng's chest heaved as he turned to Zhang Anbang, "Anbang, you wanted to be the best soldier in the Steel Seventh Company, and this is how you treat him?"

Zhang Anbang got up and righted the chair that had fallen over. "Company Commander, don't panic. They can do it. Let's look down further. There's an ambulance parked right next to us."

The division hospital's elite emergency medical team is on standby at any time. Nothing will happen, don't worry. Please sit down, please sit down.

Gao Cheng pulled up a stool, moving half a meter away from Zhang Anbang's stool, before sitting down angrily. Ever since the Seventh Company was reorganized, he simply couldn't stand seeing the soldiers of the Seventh Company like this.

Off-screen, in the puddles, upon hearing the word "squad leader," Xu Sanduo immediately perked up, "I, I, can, I can do it."

"Squad Leader Wu, after the selection is over, let's go to the training camp together to see you, squad leader."

"Okay, let's go," Wu Liuyi replied emphatically, accelerating forward.

Xu Sanduo gritted his teeth and tried his best to keep up with Wu Liuyi's speed.

In the bushes on the shore, Cheng Cai gripped the sniper rifle tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Zhang Anbang took a sip of water and said calmly, "How are you? Are you alright, Company Commander? You underestimated this kid's abilities. He's capable."

Yuan Lang watched with great interest as the two figures on the screen gradually approached the shore, and he admired Wu Liuyi's steely will more and more.

I couldn't help but think to myself, "Steel Seventh Company is really a great place. One net and we've scooped up a whole lot of fish. That exercise trip was definitely worth it."

Gao Cheng grinned. "Hmm, not bad at all. Hey, what do you think Liu Yi said to this kid?"

Zhang Anbang chuckled and uttered two words, "Shi Jin."

"Hmm, I see," Gao Cheng nodded, unable to help but think that Shi Jin's ability to assess soldiers was truly remarkable; he could spot someone who was utterly useless at a glance.

Since Shi Jin wasn't present, he had no idea what Gao Cheng was thinking.

Otherwise, Shi Jin would definitely have shyly smiled and said what he hadn't said because of Zhang Anbang's involvement: "His value lies in the fact that I haven't seen it yet."

As Wu Liuyi and Xu Sanduo climbed ashore, Cheng Cai loosened his grip a little and quickly observed the situation through the scope.

After Wu Liuyi and Xu Sanduo got ashore, they didn't dare to delay and immediately headed into the grove of trees on the shore with their backpacks.

Cheng Cai put down his sniper rifle and breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them swam in the water. He, who was on the shore, was also very worried. If the two of them failed in the water, not only would they fail, but Cheng Cai would also fail.

Now that the two have successfully overcome this obstacle, it means they are getting closer and closer to success.
