"That's incredible! Our team also searched the West Mountain area, and we almost went blind looking for a single flag, but they found four flags just by using their noses and eyes?"

"I take back what I said before. This isn't a burden at all; she's clearly a treasure with divine insight! With her around, finding the flag is a piece of cake! Su An's eye for talent is too sharp!"

Those students who had once mocked Chen Xiaocao as a "burden" and a "crybaby" now felt a burning pain on their faces, wishing they could disappear into the ground. They finally understood why Su An had chosen Chen Xiaocao.

Hearing the thunderous praises around her, Chen Xiaocao's cheeks flushed with excitement, and her eyes welled up with tears.

This was the first time in her life that she had been affirmed and envied by so many people. She subconsciously looked at Su Tang and saw her eyes filled with smiles and encouragement. A huge sense of pride instantly filled her chest.

Wang Xiaoya and Liu Landi in the crowd exchanged a glance, both seeing a sudden realization in each other's eyes.

Wang Xiaoya muttered to herself, "So... so Sister Su An wasn't just messing around by dragging Xiaocao to the dormitory every night to look at those plant illustrations and memorize those herbal names. She was honing her secret weapon for this assessment!"

Zhao Yan looked on with shock and confusion. She looked at Chen Xiaocao, whom she had once looked down on, but who was now speaking eloquently in front of everyone and seemed to be shining. Her heart was filled with turmoil.

She always thought Chen Xiaocao was a burden, but she never expected that she was Su An's team's real secret weapon.

She now realized that Su An was neither foolish nor arrogant. She had seen through the essence of the assessment from the very beginning. Her pursuit of so-called "strength" seemed so ridiculous and superficial in the face of such genuine jungle wisdom.

I... I was so terribly wrong! A deep sense of shame and defeat welled up inside me.

Su Tang watched Chen Xiaocao shine in front of everyone, and a gratified smile appeared on her lips.

For the first time, Lei Kuan's eyes revealed undisguised admiration for Chen Xiaocao. This female soldier, seemingly timid, possessed top-tier reconnaissance talent; this keen perception of the environment was something that countless training sessions could not acquire.

As for Su An, the female soldier who always managed to create miracles, her keen insight into people and the depth of her strategic planning were even more astonishing to him. He nodded, signaling Su Tang to continue.

Su Tang continued, "Reporting to the instructor, using Chen Xiaocao's 'radar,' we successfully collected four green flags in the early stages. After that, we encountered Wang Lei and Li Gang's team."

In the elimination zone, Wang Lei and Li Gang lowered their heads even further.

The process was described in a lighthearted manner, but everyone could tell how precise the tactical judgment and execution were.

Su Tang's description was no longer concise, but rather carried a hint of tactical review:

"The two of them had the physical advantage, but they were impulsive and reckless. I judged that they would choose to pursue them in a straight line, so I chose a hollow tree on their inevitable path as an ambush point. Taking advantage of the moment they entered the blind spot, Xiaocao and I attacked from both sides, trapping them like turtles in a jar, and finally eliminated them, capturing a green flag from them. Then we used a similar tactic to capture a yellow flag from two other team members."

These words sent a collective gasp through the crowd.

The process was described in a lighthearted manner, but everyone could tell how precise the psychological predictions and tactical execution were.

This was no longer solely due to Chen Xiaocao's special abilities, but rather Su An's formidable combat skills. She utilized terrain, psychology, and sound to manipulate her enemies at will.

This is beyond the level of a recruit; this is textbook ambush tactics!

"After that, we encountered Wang Xiaoya." Su Tang's gaze shifted to Wang Xiaoya and Liu Landi in the group. "We learned that Liu Landi was surrounded by six people. However, during the pursuit of Liu Landi, we were ambushed by Zhang Man and Zhou Zhihui."

When Zhou Zhihui heard her name called, her face turned deathly pale, and she unconsciously scratched her arm.

Su Tang then went on to break down the "counter-ambush" tactics against Zhang Man and Zhou Zhihui in detail: "Their ambush points were very well chosen, with a commanding view and a wide field of vision. But they made a mistake, which was that they were too confident."
