Chapter 386 Transmigrating into an Interstellar Novel and Sweeping Away the Male and Female Protagonists (38)

The first preliminary round of the annual training consisted of hiking through a tropical rainforest.

The 12th Regiment, comprising a total of 60 teams, entered through the entrance of the simulated tropical rainforest, carrying the fixed supplies allocated by the army.

The entire rainforest covers an area of ​​70,000 square kilometers. It was chosen as the site for the preliminary test because it primarily assesses the teamwork abilities of the participants.

Because after becoming a true warrior, every mission is carried out in small teams, requiring cooperation to achieve final victory.

Therefore, teamwork is a compulsory course for soldiers.

Limited resources, endless rainforests, and unpredictable dangers all require someone to command, someone to obey, someone to lead the way in exploration, and someone to protect the rear.

This is soldier training, so the mechanic doesn't need to be there.

Jin Shu has rarely seen Luo Pu since the start of the training camp.

He must have been exhausted. Maintenance technicians have their own annual training, which is different from that of soldiers. Their main assessment is their understanding of the mechs and their maintenance skills. The assessment mainly involves simulating making the correct judgment on the condition of the mechs in different scenarios.

Knowing that Jin Shu had a new teammate, a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

"I still feel safer with you."

"What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

"No way, everyone is working hard, who would bully me?"

Jin Shu patted him on the shoulder.

"Just do your best and don't die."

"I'll pass this on to you verbatim: the rainforest is different from the one on Little Blue Star. It's full of all sorts of insectoids and wild beasts, acid rain, poisonous gas, fog, scorching sun, and unpredictable weather."

The attribute panel will be blocked, and you will only be able to use the supplies allocated to you by the army, so you must make sure you are well-equipped.

Don't just think about taking care of others; you're human too, and you feel pain when you're hurt.

Jin Shu looked at him silently, a smile playing on her lips.

Luo Pu felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and subconsciously touched his nose to avoid her eyes.

"What's wrong? What are you laughing at? Are you annoyed by me?"

"It's nothing, you just look a lot like a friend of mine from before."

"That's so cliché. With your personality, you could have had friends before? Don't lie to me."

Jin Shu smiled but didn't say anything.

Watching Luo Pu turn around with his ears red, his slender figure slowly disappear from sight.

Her previous white crane, Feiyun, was the same. Every time she went on a long journey, Feiyun would keep nagging in her ear, telling her this and that. It was just a bird, but it had the heart of a mother.

Feeling good, time to reward myself with three hours of weighted running in space!

Huang Zheng, who was exhausted to the point of collapse, along with Maggie, An Ning, and the others, watched Jin Shu running around inside the space capsule with a smile on her face.

Huang Zheng: "I am not worthy of being the captain."

Kress: "Top-tier genius plus inhuman effort, that's it, I'm not good enough for our boss."

An Ning: "Even a genius like her is working this hard, how can we keep lying around? Let's train!"

When Jin Shu turned around, she saw her four teammates outside, their faces ashen.

She clearly saw the same message on those four faces.

Go ahead and train, who can beat you, you living god?

——

The annual training has begun, with sixty teams ready to go.

The division commander sat in the monitoring room, observing each person in the sixty teams from every angle.

"Haha, these are our Alliance Legion's most valuable assets! It's clear that the team is much more energetic after these new recruits joined this year!"

Several deputy division commanders nearby chimed in.

Just then, the division commander noticed a squad on the surveillance camera and ordered his men to zoom in.

"This girl, isn't she the one who won the championship trophy back for our Alliance Military Academy?"

"Frantay, I've always wanted to meet her in person."

In the scene, Jin Shu, dressed in a white team training uniform, is organizing her equipment. In just a few seconds, the girl skillfully loads bullets, assembles a laser crossbow, and sorts and organizes her personal equipment.

The division commander watched silently, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Her grandfather was also in our legion, wasn't he? Truly, the student has surpassed the master."

But judging from her group outfit, it seems to be from the 11th Regiment.

The deputy division commander standing to the side explained.

“This young woman is very thoughtful and took the initiative to join the 11th Regiment for training. We respected her idea and granted her application.”

"Hmm, true elite warriors will never be buried in any environment. I'll see what surprises she can bring me this year's training."

Just then, the deputy division commander pointed to a squad on the screen.

"Although Frant Peya is a rising star, when it comes to winning the championship, Ling Xiao's team is probably still the one."

The other deputy division commanders nodded in agreement.

“Ling Xiao has been a member of the team for a long time and has been an elite captain for fifteen consecutive years. According to the Third Regiment, if she is still the champion after this year’s annual training, she will be promoted to deputy regimental commander and enjoy the treatment of a regimental commander.”

"The deputy regimental commander? She's not even seventy years old yet, is she?"

"Only sixty-three."

In a regiment where the average age of the regimental commander is over 120, this is already considered quite young.

"I remember that Ares, the commander of the Third Regiment, was not even sixty years old when he became the commander."

When Ares is mentioned, the teachers and elders all have something to say.

"After all, he is our alliance's first SSS-level elite warrior and currently ranked number one on the Space Marine leaderboard. No one has any objection to him becoming the captain."

"I heard that Ares intends to train an elite team with Ling Xiao as the captain. This year's annual training championship is definitely theirs."

The division commander stared silently at the screen and nodded slowly.

"Our Alliance Legion has always rewarded the strong. Since she is truly capable of serving as the vice-captain, let's arrange this after the annual training ends."

The competition began quickly. Crossing the rainforest was just the first round of the preliminary test. There were fifteen days left, and anyone who failed to complete the task within fifteen days would be eliminated. In addition, the team's performance would be judged based on the fastest time that all team members reached the finish line.

This wasn't Huang Zheng's first time participating in the annual training; he was more experienced than anyone else, so he gave everyone a heads-up before entering the rainforest.

"Resources are limited, even scarce. Once we enter the forest, I will allocate all resources. All you have to do is obey my every command and not waste time arguing. Do you understand?"

And most importantly, I hope everyone will always work together; backstabbing and infighting are a big no-no to me!

Did you hear that?!

"I heard you!"

"Alright, let's go."

Huang Zheng led the way, while the deputy captain, Harry, was at the very back of the group, responsible for protecting the safety of those behind.

The final result is based on all team members successfully traversing the rainforest. If any teammate goes missing or even dies, the team will be deemed to have failed.
