In the sea area outside Tianjin.
On an unnamed island, Yuan Yi held a walkie-talkie in his hand.
"I am a sweet potato, calling for potatoes."
"Potatoes received, sweet potatoes please speak."
"Ready to go, you can put the newbie in the cage! Over!"
"Potatoes received, all done!"
At a naval training base in Tianjin, personnel selected from various army group armies for yellow-card special forces are gathering here.
Zhang Dabing led his eight elite squad members to serve as instructors for this mission.
"Beep beep beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep."
"Gather, gather, gather!"
Zhang Dabing blew his whistle and shouted loudly.
In an instant, two or three hundred people came from all directions and began to line up and assemble.
These people were carrying nothing but training uniforms.
"Instructor, why did you bring us here?"
"We're not the navy."
"Yes, shouldn't we be taking the selection exam?"
"Is the selection exam just to bring us to this sea training ground?"
Soldiers began loudly questioning Zhang Dabing, who was standing in the front row.
"Quiet."
A thunderous sound exploded directly above everyone's heads, and Zhang Dabing walked out with a dark face, holding an enormous megaphone.
Instantly, everyone covered their ears and showed expressions of pain.
"Stand at attention, all of you! Don't you know how to stand at attention?"
A loud sound emanated from the loudspeaker once again.
Once everyone below had quieted down, Zhang Dabing spoke again.
"Everyone, pay attention, divide into nine teams."
As soon as Zhang Dabing finished speaking, the team quickly split into nine groups.
This perfectly echoes Zhang Dabing's commando team members.
"Keep up."
Zhang Dabing offered no explanation, and the group headed directly towards the beach.
The soldiers being assessed were suspicious, but none of them asked any questions.
They simply followed Zhang Dabing and the others and started running.
After arriving at the beach, we followed them directly onto speedboats.
After everyone had landed, the nine members of the commando team started the speedboat and rushed towards the sea.
It's not far from the island, only about fifty or sixty kilometers away.
The speedboat traveled two-thirds of the distance before coming to a stop.
The team members participating in the selection process had not yet noticed, since the team member operating the speedboat was at the very back of the speedboat.
They all looked ahead, and after all the speedboats gradually slowed down, everyone was puzzled.
He turned his head and looked behind him, but there were no more members of the assault team there.
Everyone was completely bewildered, not knowing what was going on!
Among those being assessed were soldiers, non-commissioned officers, and quite a few officers.
Someone walked to the back of the speedboat and prepared to operate it.
They tried to restart the engine, but unfortunately, no matter how they tried, the engine wouldn't turn.
"I think this was premeditated. Otherwise, why would they have dragged us to the open sea? And then they ran away?"
"The assessment will probably begin around this time."
"They've always been mysterious, always calculating these strange and unusual things!"
Those who want to become special forces soldiers in elite units naturally have some understanding of their assessment procedures and the units themselves.
So when they discovered the disappearance of the assault team, they weren't too alarmed.
Each speedboat carried about thirty people, and a temporary captain was quickly appointed.
Then everyone asked if anyone couldn't swim.
Fortunately, those who want to become special forces soldiers know that these people are a bunch of animals.
There can't be any weaknesses, so naturally everyone has to be good at water.
The armed swimming training wasn't for nothing.
One of the captains stepped forward: "They must have their reasons for leaving us here, based on their past performance reviews."
"I'm sure there's an island nearby; they can't possibly be conducting our assessment in the middle of the ocean!"
With someone taking the lead, there's a backbone to rely on.
Three hundred or so people immediately began an armed swim across the sea.
Their direction was naturally forward, because they were there to participate in the assessment, and naturally they wouldn't swim back the way they came.
A 20-kilometer armed swim normally takes five to six hours.
This is under the condition that one needs to be fully armed.
The personnel conducting these assessments are currently working lightly, and it will likely take them only three to four hours.
Yuan Yi naturally wouldn't just let it go unchecked.
High-speed unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are constantly monitoring the situation at sea from the sky.
There is a control room in the sea training ground where Zhou Zhikun, the captain of the first brigade, is located.
Inside the control room is a huge screen, which displays the members currently undergoing assessment on the high seas.
"Captain, after running this 20 kilometers, they probably won't have any energy left by the time they get to the island!"
Zhou Zhikun glanced at the major staff officer beside him.
"That's exactly what we want—they don't have the stamina. Do they really think special forces are just children playing house?"
"This is a small gift for them. The second gift will be even more elaborate once they arrive on the island."
Everyone in the control room was very curious after hearing Zhou Zhikun's words.
"Captain, what secret have you hidden on the island?"
"Could you give us a sneak peek beforehand?"
