When Chen Yang arrived the next day, he was filled with admiration upon seeing the temporary camp set up by the members of the Soul of China team.
Even if Chen Yang and his team went out, they might not be able to do better than this; the difference in operational efficiency is too great.
The local people have more practical experience than them, but it is not as systematic and professional, and they do not have enough mastery of many wilderness survival skills.
Each of them, once taken outside, could be called a king of the field; such a group of people gathered together was truly terrifying.
Every country probably has similar teams, but the Soul of China is definitely not a weak team even on a global scale.
Chen Yang walked up to Wang Zhifeng and said, "I can't think of anything I can teach you. My methods may not be suitable for you. So, I came up with a good idea yesterday."
"You want to be our opponent, is that right?" Wang Zhifeng said.
Chen Yang was taken aback; he hadn't expected Wang Zhifeng to guess his thoughts.
“Ah San guessed it. He’s our strategist. He once led us to defeat a well-equipped thousand-strong army with only fifteen men in a field exercise,” Wang Zhifeng said.
Fifteen men defeating a thousand is a truly terrifying feat, and even in the wild, it is quite remarkable.
Everyone's energy and abilities are limited. Even if every member of the Soul of China is incredibly powerful, it still requires a powerful brain to allocate them.
A-San is the brain of the Chinese soul, Wang Zhifeng is the heart of the Chinese soul, and the others are the facial features, limbs, and torso. The Chinese soul is an indestructible whole.
"It's a little unpleasant to feel like I've been figured out, but it doesn't matter. Let me get straight to the point. Today's competition is about building a camp, and I'll be facing fifteen of you all by myself," Chen Yang said.
"Building a camp?" A-San was somewhat surprised; he had originally thought it would be a field exercise or a series of battles.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "The purpose is very clear: to see how well you cooperate, how you coordinate everyone, and how you allocate everyone's work."
“But we have fifteen people,” A-San said. “Even if you are a strong individual fighter, you should be overwhelmed.”
"You'll know once you try," Chen Yang said with absolute confidence.
"Okay, then how do we determine the winner?"
"There's no specific standard; we can just do a comparison at 7 PM. Everyone will understand then," Chen Yang said.
A-San nodded and said, "Okay, let's begin."
After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and began to prepare. Wang Zhifeng then extended his hand to Chen Yang and said, "I didn't introduce myself properly yesterday. My name is Wang Zhifeng, the captain of the Special Operations Team of the Soul of China, and also Master Yunhua's half-disciple. You can be considered my senior brother."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Then, senior brother, don't lose too badly, or you'll lose face."
"I have confidence in us, but I don't know how you can win."
"You'll see when you take a look."
Chen Yang smiled, then pulled an alloy knife from his back.
Although this alloy knife is not as good as his Pure Heart Sword, its manufacturing process is also top-notch and not much worse than the Pure Heart Sword now. When the Pure Heart Sword grows into a weapon that is no less powerful than the Tenacious Blade, the alloy knife will be far behind.
He walked up to a tree about the thickness of a thigh with his knife, then with a swift stroke, he severed the trunk. Chen Yang then easily sliced off the branches as if peeling sugarcane, leaving the bare trunk.
He sharpened one side of the tree trunk, stuck it into the ground, and then covered it with some soil and tamped it down.
This process took only about three minutes.
Ah San was stunned by the violent method.
"A-San, don't fall behind, we have more people," Wang Zhifeng shouted to A-San.
Ah San snapped out of her daze and immediately began assigning tasks.
Fifteen people were involved; twelve gathered wood and prepared to build the camp, while two searched for food.
After he assigned the tasks, Chen Yang had already inserted the second piece of wood. Using these two pieces of wood as the center, he was taking simple measurements.
Chen Yang's speed was so fast that everyone was on edge.
"Don't panic. Just because he moves fast doesn't mean he's fast. We can catch up," Wang Zhifeng said.
Even after witnessing Chen Yang's bizarre behavior, Wang Zhifeng did not lose faith but instead urged the team members to continue their construction work.
Construction is not as simple as sawing wood. If a house is just a matter of piecing wood together, then what is the point of carpenters and architects?
They had two months of experience surviving in the wild and were very experienced in camp construction. With A-San's perfect allocation of resources, he was confident that he could catch up with Chen Yang.
In less than twenty minutes, Chen Yang had positioned the four logs and inserted them firmly into the ground.
Even if a carpenter were to use a chainsaw, he would probably only have processed two pieces of wood by now.
Chen Yang picked up his sword and started chopping wood again. This time, he collected a huge bundle of wood, which was taller than himself. He tied it with bark and carried it back on his back.
He carried back so many solid logs, weighing at least five or six hundred pounds, without batting an eye, and then began to whittle the wood.
He carved different grooves into each piece of wood and placed them aside.
Now everyone else could see that Chen Yang understood mortise and tenon joints.
However, they only saw that Chen Yang understood, but they didn't see how Chen Yang would do it.
After Chen Yang finished carving each piece of wood, he would measure and check it before starting to work on the next one.
With his alloy knife and tenacious blade, making mortise and tenon joints became very simple.
He worked for about two hours and finally finished making all the parts.
Meanwhile, the Soul of China Special Operations Team had already completed the framework of the house.
Just as Wang Zhifeng predicted, the spirit of China eventually took the lead.
However, he wasn't very happy because Chen Yang was calmly and slowly making the parts.
After Chen Yang finished making it, he carried the wood and put it on the four pillars.
He placed the logs one by one, occasionally taking out wooden wedges and hammering them in. Sometimes, with a simple turn or a snap, the wooden structure was firmly fixed in place.
In just six or seven minutes, the skeleton of a house was completed.
It has pillars, beams, and a keel, making the structure stable and aesthetically pleasing.
In an instant, the difference in quality became immediately apparent, giving everyone in the Soul of China an urge to dismantle the very framework of their own house.
As soon as Chen Yang finished the skeleton, he immediately went to collect leaves and tied them up in an orderly manner to make the roof. Then he went to collect wood and quickly enclosed the four sides of the house. Finally, he used mud to seal the gaps.
By the time all this was done, it was already dusk.
Meanwhile, the Huaxia Soul side was not slow either. They built houses, lit fires, and found prey and edible plants.
Although the shelter was clearly not as good as Chen Yang's, it was still decent overall.
After building the house, Chen Yang rushed back into the forest and came out carrying a wild boar in just about five minutes.
He skillfully handled the wild boar, and then, in less than a minute, successfully started a fire by rubbing sticks together.
After setting the wild boar on the fire, he said to Wang Zhifeng, "I'm going back first. They're waiting for me to have dinner. You can have this boar. Tomorrow is the match, and I won't use my hands or feet."
After Chen Yang finished speaking, he opened an exit and left the area outside the boundary.
