On the other side, Zhao Yilu began a tense five-day competition exercise...

Several veterans of the Guicheng team looked down on the rookie Zhao Yilu. Some even speculated that he might have some kind of relative relationship with the regiment commander and that he had used a backdoor to participate in the exercise.

Before the exercise began, team leader Zhang Zhiqiang called Zhao Yilu aside for a private talk...

"Zhao Yilu, right? Since you can participate in this exercise, you must have some ability. I will not deny your ability."

"But after all, you have only been in the army for a month. You have not participated in training for a long time and lack experience. This exercise is related to the honor of our Guicheng Army Team. You just need to follow behind and obey the instructions. Don't act on your own and give yourself away. With the strength of our team, we can rank in the top three without any accidents!"

Zhao Yilu looked at Zhang Zhiqiang and said nothing. He stood at attention and replied, "Got it. I promise to obey your orders!"

Seeing that he was quite obedient, Zhang Zhiqiang said nothing more and let him return to the team.

This jungle exercise lasts for five days, with all meals and lodging provided in the mountains. A total of ten teams participate, with fifty people in each team. Some basic supplies will be set up in the mountains, and the teams will be scored based on the number of supply points they occupy and the number of people left alive.

The mountain exercise began. Zhao followed the team as Zhang Zhiqiang had instructed, without showing his head or seeking credit.

However, no one expected that this year the other two teams, Yangcheng team and Gancheng team, which were originally as strong as Guicheng team, would not play by the rules. In this exercise, the two teams joined forces to attack Guicheng team from the very beginning, resulting in eight members of Guicheng team being eliminated on the first day.

Because the exercise has already started, it is impossible to find other teams to cooperate with now. Not to mention whether they agree or not, it is difficult to find people in such a big mountain!

Zhao Yilu felt that if this continued, the Guicheng team would soon be wiped out, so he went to ask Zhang Zhiqiang for instructions, "Captain, I want to apply to leave the team and act alone!"

Zhang Zhiqiang was already in a bad mood because of the performance on the first day, so he asked directly: "Give me a reason?"

"I can turn the tide of the battle that is currently at a disadvantage for the Guicheng team! Captain, lead the main force to occupy the supply base, and I will disrupt the enemy's rear!"

Zhang Zhiqiang looked at Zhao Yilu for a moment and nodded: "I hope you really have this ability!"

Zhao saluted all the way and said, "I guarantee to complete the mission!" Then he turned and left, hiding in the bushes.

In the next few days, Zhao Yilu shuttled through the mountains like a snake, disturbing the other local teams and causing them to kill each other. The number of people in each local team continued to decrease sharply...

By the last day of the exercise, the Guicheng team was the only team with more than 30 people left, and the Guicheng team also occupied the most supply points.

The Guicheng team successfully won the first place in this exercise!

When the individual performance statistics were compiled after the exercise, Zhao Yilu killed 136 people by himself! He ranked first in total kills! He killed nearly three teams by himself!

Not only did the entire Guicheng team fall silent, even the captains of teams from other places became jealous. Some leaders who came to participate in the exercise even asked directly about Zhao Yilu's situation. When they learned that he was just a new recruit who had been in the army for only one month, they became even more jealous. They really wanted to poach him, but what should they do!

The exercise ended at noon on the fifth day. After five days in the mountains, everyone returned to their residence exhausted and prepared to have a good rest so that they could take the train back to Guicheng the next day.

Only Zhao Yilu walked up to Zhang Zhiqiang again and said, "Captain, I want to take a few hours off and come back before dark!"

"Or to visit a family member in the hospital?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhiqiang looked at Zhao Yilu, who looked disheveled and had bloodshot eyes but was still full of energy, and softened his heart and made another exception to allow Zhao Yilu to leave the team.

"Go wash your face and change your clothes before you go! Don't embarrass us soldiers! If you don't come back before dark, I'll beat you up!"

Zhao Yilu immediately saluted with a standard military salute and replied loudly, "Got it!"

(Off topic: Because these exercises and competitions are likely to involve sensitive military and political terms, Tomato will not be able to pass the review, so I just write it casually, and you don’t have to take it seriously! In short, our male protagonist Zhao Yilu is still very capable in his job, and he is definitely a soldier king. Please continue to look forward to the soldier king’s journey to chase his wife!)
