Chapter 491: Selecting Security Team Members

Chapter 491: Selecting Security Team Members

Expert Wang has some family matters and is going to be away for a while, but even if he is not there, it won’t be a big problem.

When Zhou Yimin learned that expert Wang was going to leave for a while, he looked at the somewhat worn scientific research notebook with mixed feelings.

If possible, I really don't want to hand it in.

However, when I hold this notebook in my hand, I only have a vague understanding of many of its contents, so it is difficult to maximize its value.

After much thought, he finally made up his mind to hand in his scientific research notes as well.

He felt that instead of letting it gather dust in his hands, it would be better to hand it over to the country and let it play the greatest role in the hands of professionals.

Then he said to Expert Wang: "Uncle Wang, please help me hand in this research notebook!"

There was a flash of surprise in Professor Wang's eyes, followed by admiration.

He never expected that Zhou Yimin, at such a young age, had such a high level of awareness.

Professor Wang patted Zhou Yimin on the shoulder with satisfaction, and his strong hand seemed to convey endless affirmation and encouragement. Then, Professor Wang began to contact his superiors.

"Yimin, don't worry, I will explain this to the leader and I will definitely not let you down."

Although Expert Wang had almost remembered the contents of the notes, he was able to write them down from memory.

Zhoujiazhuang returned to its former tranquility, and daily farm work continued as usual.

However, today, a piece of news spread in Zhoujiazhuang, shocking many people.

"Have you heard? The village is going to expand the security team!" The news spread quickly in Zhoujiazhuang like a gust of wind.

For a moment, the whole village became lively, and when the young men heard it, their blood was burning in their hearts.

After all, in that era, being able to join the security team and maintain the peace of the village with weapons in hand was an extremely glorious thing, and no man could resist such temptation.

When Zhou Dazhui, Zhou Dahu, Zhou Daming and others heard the news, their eyes lit up.

When Zhou Dazhu heard about the recruitment of the security team, he was the first to get impatient: "Da Hu, Daming, we can't miss this opportunity, let's go and sign up!"

As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Dahu and Zhou Daming and ran towards the registration office.

Zhou Dahu was also very happy when he heard the news, and then said: "Brother Zhuzi, this is a good opportunity. Maybe in the future we can also defend Zhoujiazhuang like a real hero!"

But he suddenly remembered what he had done before. Although it was unintentional, it did cause a lot of losses to Zhoujiazhuang.

Then he said, "I'm still not going. You two go!"

Zhou Dazhui and Zhou Daming knew what Zhou Dahu was worried about as soon as they heard it.

"Da Hu, why are you like a woman! Worrying about this and that? Why don't you just go and sign up and find out?" Zhou Dazhu felt a little disappointed.

Zhou Daming also tried to persuade him: "Although Dazhu's words were a little rough, as the saying goes, the words are rough but the truth is not rough."

While Zhou Dahu was still hesitating, he was pulled away by Zhou Dazhui.

Zhou Dahu wanted to resist, but found it was useless. Even if he used all his strength to hold Zhou Dazhui back, he had no ability to resist at all.

Since you can't resist, you might as well enjoy it and save yourself the energy.

Zhou Dazhu was a little worried at this time: "Brother Daming, do you think we can succeed?"

Zhou Daming was a little speechless: "I just praised you, I didn't expect you to quit so soon!"

Zhou Dahu couldn't help laughing for a moment.

After being glared at by Zhou Dazhui, Zhou Dahu immediately shut up.

Zhou Daming said at this time: "It doesn't matter whether he succeeds or not, as long as we perform well, even if we fail, we can only blame ourselves for our lack of ability."

After hearing this, Zhou Dazhu thought it made sense, so he didn't ask any more questions. The three of them went to the threshing ground.

The registration office was located in the village's threshing ground and was already surrounded by people.

More than twenty or thirty young people crowded the registration table, and everyone was discussing the expansion of the security team.

"How many people do you think we can recruit this time?" asked a young man.

"I heard that they will only recruit ten people, but so many of us have signed up, the competition is fierce," another person replied.

After hearing this, everyone secretly sweated, but this did not dampen their enthusiasm. Instead, it made them more eager to stand out in this selection.

The team leader saw that the people who came to register didn't even know how to do the most basic thing like queuing up: "What are you doing making so much noise here?"

After hearing this, everyone did as they were told.

Although the team leader has higher prestige and reputation in the village than the old branch secretary, the villagers are more afraid of the team leader.

Because the old branch secretary looked very kind, as long as nothing serious happened, he would just smile and say, "It's okay!"

But if the same thing happened to the team leader, he would definitely be criticized.

Sometimes, you may even be subject to corporal punishment.

Therefore, the young people in Zhoujiazhuang have a natural fear of the team leader in their hearts.

When the team leader saw that the people who came to register lined up obediently, he nodded with satisfaction.

Then Zhou Zhiming was asked to be in charge of registration.

Soon everyone started to register in order.

When it was Zhou Dazhu's turn, they quickly squeezed to the registration table and said, "Uncle Zhiming, I'm strong and I can run fast!"

After hearing this, Zhou Zhiming picked up a pen and wrote down Zhou Dazhui's name and his specialties: he was strong and could run fast.

After hearing this, others didn’t expect that this operation could be done, and felt like they had lost a billion.

They just registered their names and nothing else.

He immediately wanted to regret it, but when he saw the "door god" standing beside him, he immediately gave up the idea.

For fear of being scolded by the captain, he could only stand aside obediently.

When it was Zhou Dahu's turn, he also imitated Zhou Dazhu and said, "Uncle Zhiming, I am agile and can climb high and low."

Zhou Zhiming nodded and then wrote down Zhou Dahu's characteristics.

The next people saw that it could be done this way, so they all followed suit and did it this way.

After seeing this, the people in front regretted their decision so much that they didn’t think of it.

If I wasn’t chosen because of this, I would probably want to die!

The captain saw their concerns and said, "Don't worry, we will never choose someone with special skills just because of this."

After hearing the captain's assurance, they finally felt relieved.

After more than ten or twenty minutes of registration, everyone was finally registered.

There were 20 to 30 people who should have registered long ago, but the people who came later told everything, even the three-year-old who wet the bed was included in the registration.

In the end, it was the captain who spoke up and stopped this phenomenon.

Otherwise, I don’t know how long it will take to complete the registration of all these people’s characteristics.

After the registration was over, everyone was anxiously waiting for the selection to begin.

The old branch secretary stood on the high platform of the threshing ground, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, this expansion of the security team is to better protect our village, our scientific research results and everyone's safety. The selection will be fair and just, and I hope everyone can show their strengths."

There was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

The selection was presided over by Zhou Yimin, the old branch secretary and the team leader.

Zhou Yimin didn't want to participate at first, as he felt he had a lot of other things to do.

But the old branch secretary pulled him aside and said, "Yimin, this is your idea, you can't not participate. You have ideas about the future development of the security team, you have to contribute to this selection."

Zhou Yimin had no choice but to agree.

The first item of the selection was a physical fitness test. The old branch secretary had some heavy objects placed at one end of the threshing ground.

Applicants are required to move the heavy objects to the other end and then run back to see who takes the shortest time.

Zhou Dazhu was the first to go on stage. He took a deep breath, grabbed the heavy object with both hands, and with a sudden force, he carried the heavy object on his shoulders.

He took long strides and walked quickly to the other end, his steps steady and powerful. When he reached the end, he quickly put down the heavy object and turned around to run back.

He ran very fast, raising a cloud of dust, and soon he crossed the starting line. People around him applauded and cheered for him.

Zhou Dahu was not to be outdone. Like an agile monkey, he lifted the heavy object easily and completed the task while jogging all the way.

Although Zhou Daming was not as strong as Zhou Dazhui and Zhou Dahu, he successfully completed the test with his flexibility and speed.

Next it was Zhou Tieniu's turn. He had a sturdy build and looked like a strong farmer.

In the heavy-object lifting part of the physical fitness test, he showed amazing strength.

I saw him grasping the heavy object firmly with both hands and carrying it onto his shoulders effortlessly. His steps were steady and quick, as if the heavy object was as light as a feather to him.

The villagers who were watching were shocked by his strength and exclaimed in amazement.

The captain also said at this time: "Okay!"

"It's obvious that he's a good security guard!"

Even Zhou Dazhu couldn't do it so easily.

After doing all this, Zhou Tieniu stood aside without blushing or beating his heart.

The onlookers applauded. After all, having such a capable person protecting the village made them feel safe.

Next is the simulated arrest phase.

The team leader found a few villagers to play the "bad guys" and asked the applicants to "catch" them.

This part not only tests speed, but also tests adaptability and teamwork ability.

Zhou Dazhui, Zhou Dahu and Zhou Daming automatically formed a group.

They discussed strategies with each other and decided that Zhou Dazhui would attract the bad guys' attention from the front, Zhou Dahu would encircle them from the side, and Zhou Daming would cover the rear to prevent them from escaping.

After the three of them had discussed it, the game began. Zhou Dazhu shouted and rushed towards the bad guys.

The bad guys were a little panicked when they saw Zhou Dazhu coming so aggressively.

Just when they were distracted, Zhou Dahu rushed out quickly from the side and caught a bad guy in one go.

Zhou Daming also kept a close eye on the other bad guys, not giving them a chance to escape.

With the cooperation of the three, all the bad guys were quickly captured.

The other teams also showed their talents. Some teams completed the task quickly with their excellent speed; some teams successfully captured the bad guys through clever strategies.

The entire threshing ground was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

After the physical fitness test, the next step is to test your shooting skills using a slingshot.

Since bullets are precious, using slingshots to test everyone's shooting accuracy is a helpless move.

This is a method proposed by Zhou Yimin. It not only saves bullets but is also safer.

When the old branch secretary heard this, he never thought there would be such a solution.

All I can say is that young people’s brains work quickly and they can come up with many solutions that have never been thought of before.

The old branch secretary had several targets placed in the distance. There was a circle drawn on each target, and the score was calculated based on the position of the circle hit.

Zhou Dazhu picked up the slingshot, loaded it with stones, squinted his eyes, and aimed at the target.

He pulled back the slingshot with all his strength, and with a whoosh, the stone flew out and hit the edge of the target.

He shook his head in annoyance and prepared to try again. The second time, he adjusted his posture and aimed more attentively. This time, the stone hit the inner circle of the circle, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Zhou Dahu was very confident in his slingshot skills. He picked up the slingshot easily and shot the stone, which accurately hit the center of the target.

The people around him exclaimed in amazement. Zhou Dahu smiled proudly and showed his slingshot to everyone.

Zhou Daming seemed a little nervous, his hands were shaking slightly, and the stone missed the target when he fired for the first time.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and picked up the slingshot again.

This time, he concentrated, aimed carefully, and fired.

The stone flew along the edge of the circle. Although it didn't hit the center, it was still a good result.

During the test, some people did not perform well due to nervousness or lack of technical proficiency.

Some people's stones didn't hit the target at all, while others hit the target but got very low scores.

However, they were not discouraged and said they would continue to practice hard in the future.

As the test progressed, the villagers watching became more and more excited. They cheered for everyone who took the test, and the threshing ground was filled with laughter and shouts.

During the intense and fierce selection process, some minor incidents also occurred.

A young man accidentally sprained his ankle while carrying heavy objects.

Zhou Yimin and the old branch secretary immediately went forward to check on him, had someone help him to the side to rest, and called Zhou Daqiu from the village to treat him.

Although the young man was sad that he could not continue to take part in the test, he still expressed his support for others who participated in the selection.

After a full day of testing, all projects were completed.

Zhou Yimin, the old branch secretary and the team leader sat aside and carefully counted everyone's scores. They selected the ten people with the highest scores based on the comprehensive scores of physical fitness test, simulated capture and slingshot test.

When the old branch secretary stood on the high platform and announced the list of candidates for the security team, the entire threshing ground fell silent. Everyone held their breath and waited nervously for the result.

"Zhou Dazhu, Zhou Dahu, Zhou Daming..."

The old branch secretary read out the names one by one, and every time he read out a name, there was warm applause and cheers from the audience.

Those whose names were called had proud smiles on their faces. They excitedly hugged the people around them to celebrate being selected for the security team.
