On the other side, Zhao Yilu began an intense 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 with the regiment commander and had used backdoors to participate in the exercise.

Before the exercise began, Captain Zhang Zhiqiang took Zhao Yilu aside for a private talk...

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

"After all, you've only been in the army for a month. Your training time is too short and you lack experience. This exercise is related to the honor of our Guicheng Army Team. You just need to follow closely and obey the instructions. Don't act on your own and give yourself up. With the strength of our team, we can definitely rank in the top three!"

Zhao Yilu glanced at Zhang Zhiqiang, said nothing, stood at attention and replied, "Put it away, I promise to obey 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 food and accommodation all taking place in the mountains. Ten teams will participate, each with fifty people. Some basic supplies will be set up in the mountains, and the teams will be scored based on the number of supply bases they occupy and the number of survivors.

The mountain exercise began. Zhao Yilu followed the team as Zhang Zhiqiang said, neither showing his head nor being greedy.

We never expected that this year the other two teams, Yangcheng and Gancheng, 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.

Since the exercise has already begun, it is impossible to find other teams to cooperate with now. Not to mention whether they are willing 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 feeling unhappy about the first day's performance, so he asked directly, "Give me a reason?"

"I can turn the tide of the battle against the Guicheng team! Captain, lead the main force to capture 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 book!"

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

Over the next few days, Zhao Yilu moved through the mountains like a slithering snake, causing unrest among the other local teams. They killed each other, and 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 one with more than 30 members, and the Guicheng team also occupied the most supply bases.

The Guicheng team successfully took the lead in this exercise!

When the individual performance statistics were compiled after the exercise, Zhao Yilu had unexpectedly killed 130 people by himself! He ranked first in total kills by a huge margin! He had killed nearly three teams by himself!

Not only did the entire Guicheng team fall silent, but 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. He wanted to poach him. What should they do!

The exercise ended at noon on the fifth day. After five days of working in the mountains, everyone returned to their residence exhausted and prepared to take a short rest before taking the train back to Guicheng tomorrow.

Only Zhao Yilu walked up to Zhang Zhiqiang again and said, "Captain, I'd like 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 in a miserable state with bloodshot eyes but 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 get back before dark, I'll beat you up!"

Zhao Yilu immediately gave a standard military salute and replied in a loud voice: "Receipt!"

(Off-topic: Because these exercises and competitions are prone to involving sensitive military and political terms, Tomato will not be able to pass the review, so I just wrote it casually. Don’t take it too seriously, my dears! After all, our male protagonist Zhao Yilu is still very capable in his job, and is definitely a soldier king level existence. Please continue to look forward to the soldier king’s journey to pursue his wife!)
