When Zhang Hui arrived, he saw Wu Zhe discussing the game with Yuan Lang, while Xu Sanduo squatted beside him with a blank expression.

"Report, Group E has been brought back." After E1 finished speaking, he stood aside, and Zhang Hui followed behind without saying a word.

After a long while, Yuan Lang finally put away Wu Zhe and put away his game console, then asked E1, "How did E4 perform?"

"Calm, quiet, good at seizing opportunities, that's..." E1 glanced at Zhang Hui, then turned back and continued, "That's just that in the end, he probably realized it was a drill."

Yuan Lang looked up at Zhang Hui, seemingly unsurprised by the conclusion.

"Did he complete his mission?"

E1 answered: "He eventually found the hostages' location, but was trapped inside the room. After killing three people, he was eliminated!"

Yuan Lang sat down in the chair, put down what he was holding, casually smoothed his hair, and asked Zhang Hui, "When did you find out this was an assessment?"

"I started to have doubts after the dormitories were assigned, but the conclusion was confirmed after I crawled out of the tunnel to observe the exercise," Zhang Hui said, half-jokingly.

Seeing the look in Wu Zhe's eyes, he said, "Did you also notice the crude camouflage of the chemical plant's environment?"

"My situation is even more outrageous. There was just a gunfight in the narrow, dark tunnel, and the enemy didn't even clear the battlefield before retreating. And to make matters worse, there was no one guarding or lying in ambush at the exit."

"Furthermore, the personnel's behavior is strange. After someone drove the burning car away, more than ten people chased after it. Did they think they had too many people and wanted to transfer some to make the mission easier for us?"

Wu Zhe couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard Zhang Hui's complaints.

Yuan Lang merely pursed his lips, then asked Zhang Hui with a strange focus, "Why did you have doubts about the dormitory assignments?"

"Before receiving the armband, I thought all the training and humiliation were tests for the trainees, and the purpose was to eliminate those who could not withstand the dual physical and psychological pressure."

"Once you pass the test, you become a comrade-in-arms and one of our own. But after moving to the new dormitory, we didn't receive the respect and treatment that comes with being one of our own. Most importantly, I don't believe that the old A, who could replace nine of the Steel Seventh Company members with one, would treat their own people like this."

"If Old A had this kind of team atmosphere, then the soldiers of our Seventh Company could have wiped you all out back then!" After saying that, he shut up and stood still, waiting for Yuan Lang's reaction.

Yuan Lang stood up again, his expression becoming interesting, especially when he heard him say the words "Steel Seventh Company." He seemed to be thinking about something, but then said, "Wait for tomorrow's evaluation," and waved his hand before walking into the room with the camouflage curtains hanging on it.

Zhang Hui, who was left aside, didn't care. However, when he looked at Xu Sanduo, he was furious at his appearance. So what if he was tricked? He had been tricked before.

Ignoring E1 who was handing him water, he stepped forward and pulled Xu Sanduo up.

She then said to him meaningfully, "Stand still, stand still! You're not a prisoner, don't act like a coward and make a fool of yourself."

With Zhang Hui pulling him up, Xu Sanduo stood up, and his complexion improved slightly.

"Chengcai, how are you?" He looked at Wu Zhe, then at Zhang Hui, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing serious, but judging from your appearance, they must have really messed with you. Don't worry about it, just follow orders."

It wasn't until the afternoon that all the team members arrived, got on the bus, and returned to the base. By then, it was already dark.

Zhang Hui remained silent as usual, finishing his washing up and continuing his daily study plan. His roommate, on the other hand, chatted with him enthusiastically, but after a few sentences, seeing that he wasn't in high spirits, went off to do his own thing.

After turning off the lights and getting into bed, Zhang Hui was still thinking before falling asleep: if he really was sent back tomorrow, he would definitely find an excuse to try and pull some strings in Gaocheng. He wondered if this son of a military family would even want him.

The next day, the weather was sunny, and there was no training.

Zhang Hui and his group of nine were lined up outside the corridor waiting.

Compared to Wu Zhe and Xu Sanduo, Zhang Hui was very relaxed and didn't care at all. He even watched the team members training on the opposite mountain with great interest.

After Wu Zhe went in first, Xu Sanduo suddenly became a little nervous. "Brother Chengcai, did you sleep last night?"

"Slept very well, what? You weren't asleep?" Zhang Hui shifted his gaze to Xu Sanduo's face, noticing his somewhat nervous eyes, and suddenly he started causing trouble for Yuan Lang again.

"Do you remember what I told you as soon as I arrived?" Zhang Hui turned to look into the distance and asked Xu Sanduo in a relaxed manner.

"What? What did you say? You've said too much, I don't even know which sentence you're referring to," Xu Sanduo replied blankly.

"Yuan Lang is a liar! His..."

"You can't trust what he says!" Before Zhang Hui could finish speaking, Xu Sanduo interrupted him.

Then he patted Xu Sanduo on the shoulder and said nothing more. He wanted to cause trouble for Yuan Lang; letting him take Xu Sanduo away too easily would be too lenient.

Wu Zhe came out shortly after, looking relaxed and walking with a carefree gait, occasionally turning a bunch of keys in his hand.

"I got the key to that 'villain's' office! For the next month, I'll be doing random checks!"

Looking at him like this, Zhang Hui sighed, "Yuan Lang's mouth is a lying devil. He's just fooled another good soldier."

After Wu Zhe told Xu Sanduo that he was next, he rushed to Yuan Lang's office to check, not even bothering to say a few more words.

Xu Sanduo went in with a bit of nervousness, and came out more than ten minutes later. He looked much happier afterward, as if his words had no effect whatsoever, and he had passed the assessment.

He walked up to Zhang Hui. "Brother Cheng, it's your turn. You'll definitely be fine!"

Zhang Hui smiled and nodded. "Got it. Congratulations, Sanduo!"

"Report."

"Come in."

Zhang Hui closed the door, walked to the center, and bowed.

Looking at the seven members of the evaluation team in front of him, he was not very familiar with any of them. The only one he knew and had spoken to was that old fox Yuan Lang.

"Chengcai, your performance yesterday was truly outstanding. Of all the actions taken, only you and Wu Zhe managed to get close to the target."

"But! I've always had a question: why are you always so distrustful and wary of me?" Yuan Lang's tone was very certain.

Holy crap....

How do I answer that? Do you mean I know the whole plot?

After much thought, I realized I couldn't escape the situation, so I decided to offer a half-truth and half-lies explanation, otherwise I wasn't even sure if I could get into the top team.

"Report! I do not distrust you in any way, but I am certainly on guard at all times."

"Perhaps because the scene of our first meeting was so special, I was deeply impressed by you. I have never been able to convince myself to wholeheartedly believe what you say."

"Furthermore, the special care we received during training made me even more wary!"

After Zhang Hui finished speaking, he waited and saw what would happen.

"It seems that first impressions really do have a big impact. From now on, will you let down your guard?" Yuan Lang continued to ask.

"Report, I will try my best to convince myself that today's assessment is just another form of exercise." Zhang Hui responded frankly, following his own thoughts.

Seeing Zhang Hui's response, Tie Lu, who had been silent until now, also spoke up.

"Comrade Cheng, after these four months of getting to know you, we believe you are the team member we need. Would you like to stay with Old A?"

"Report! I'm willing!"

Having finally received confirmation, he had no objections and responded immediately.

[The plot has changed due to the host's actions; 33 unallocated points will be awarded as a reward!]

Hard work pays off, and his meager points finally started to increase.
