Chapter 238 The real test has only just begun. She was just moments ago inwardly laughing at Li Yue's pathetic exit, feeling fortunate that she had finally gotten rid of this useless bunkmate, otherwise who knows what kind of sabotage she might have suffered in the future.
But only a few seconds later? And the retribution has already come?
How could it be myself?
Du Jinshan was completely stunned. His huge body froze on the spot, feeling all the blood rush to his head and then instantly drain away.
The gazes cast by the surrounding survivors were more of a gloating, mocking look.
He, Du Jinshan, who ranked third in the target assessment, actually ended up being eliminated at the bottom?!
Just then, Zhang Ruobing's icy voice rang out again.
"However, trainee Du Jinshan, having achieved third place in the battalion's two-person cooperative shooting assessment, is entitled to a 'last-place elimination exemption' according to the rules. With the exemption in effect, the elimination spot will be passed on to the next team."
Immunity?!
The crowd erupted in chaos again!
"I remember now! They mentioned it during the shooting assessment! The top three would receive a special reward!"
"My God, this is incredible luck! How could they turn things around like this?"
"So...they don't have to leave?"
Qiao Lin was stunned for a moment, then her pale face flushed with wild joy: "Exemption... I have exemption! Hahahaha! I don't have to leave! I don't have to be eliminated!"
She laughed until tears streamed down her face, her smug expression drawing stares from those around her, who instinctively moved away from her.
Du Jinshan let out a long sigh of relief, his back soaked with cold sweat as if he had been pulled out of water. But then, an even stronger sense of shame surged up from within.
He felt like everyone's gaze was slapping him across the face.
Staying on the side of immunity is even more embarrassing for him than being eliminated outright!
He regretted it. He really regretted it now. Why did he choose Qiao Lin, that selfish, short-sighted woman who was good for nothing except dragging everyone down and screaming, as his teammate?
If she hadn't insisted on grabbing that red flag, if she hadn't foolishly exposed herself to gunfire, how could they have ended up in this situation today!
Zhang Ruobing ignored their disgraceful behavior and continued to announce in her unwavering voice:
"Team 10, Zhang Meng, He Xiaojuan."
The two soldiers whose names were called were a burly male soldier and a quiet-looking female soldier.
The soldier Zhang Meng's body jolted violently, then, as if his spine had been ripped out, he slumped down, muttering, "It's over...it's all over..."
He Xiaojuan, the female soldier next to him, burst into tears.
With this, the ten teams and twenty trainees have been finalized.
Of the ninety men in the entire battalion, only seventy remained in a single day.
Among them, the number of female soldiers decreased sharply from seventeen to twelve, and the number of male soldiers decreased from seventy-three to fifty-eight.
The air was filled with a complex mix of sadness and relief.
Lei Kuan looked at the eliminated trainees and announced in a cold voice, "You have half an hour to go back and pack your personal belongings, then assemble at the training ground. A truck will take you away."
"As for the rest..."
His gaze swept over the survivors, including Su An, Jiang Yan, and Meng Shi, his eyes becoming even sharper.
"Don't be too happy yet. For you, the real test has only just begun."
After saying that, he turned and strode away, leaving behind only a cold and hard silhouette.
The eliminated trainees, urged on by their instructors, walked dejectedly toward their dormitories.
Zhao Yan straightened her back and walked with firm steps, as if she were not being eliminated, but rather going to receive an award.
However, as she brushed past Su An, she paused almost imperceptibly.
Su An also stopped walking, and the two looked at each other silently.
The air around them froze instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two women who had once been at odds with each other.
This is going to be interesting!
Many people had the same thought: that Zhao Yan would say a few more harsh words before leaving.
