Chapter 1368: More than 200 Eliminated
The extreme test lasted for seven days, including physical limit test, shooting limit test, obstacle passing limit test, climbing limit test, tactical cooperation limit test, etc.
Every project has its limits, and requires comprehensive testing and screening.
After everything was completed, the original number of more than 500 people was reduced to more than 300, and more than 200 people were eliminated.
These are not bad, they just failed to meet the standards, because Lei Zhen set the standards too high, and those who can't keep up with his pace will be eliminated.
More than 200 people were distraught, some even shed tears.
No one can accept that after training for so long, they were eliminated.
But what they cannot accept is not failure, but themselves who fail.
"Being eliminated doesn't mean you're not good enough, or that you didn't work hard enough. It's just that you're just a little bit behind."
“As the saying goes, a slight error can lead to a huge loss. Sometimes, just a tiny mistake can lead to the loss of what you want.”
"Of course, there's also an element of luck. Maybe you're just not that lucky, but for me, luck is even more important than strength, because luck is so crucial on the battlefield..."
Lei Zhen comforted the more than 200 people who were eliminated. He didn't say anything particularly nice, but he didn't say anything unpleasant either. He just helped them to summarize.
It was almost impossible to pass, and no mistakes were allowed.
There are so many athletes, but only a few Olympic champions. Their strengths are similar. What ultimately matters is the error rate, and luck is mixed in with the error rate.
Everything has been done in the battlefield of life and death, and the rest depends on fate.
If you are lucky, the cat will come back alive and well. If you are unlucky, the cat in the air-raid shelter will be killed by a bunker-buster bomb.
"Principal, do we still have a chance?" a soldier asked with a sob.
"Why are you crying? Everyone has to experience failure. Not everyone is as perverted as me." Lei Zhen said with a smile, "So you have to face it calmly, because your life has only just begun."
It hurts, it’s so pretentious!
The elephant quietly stabbed the hearts of the eliminated soldiers and invisibly showed off his power.
If he wasn't the principal, if he wasn't ranked first in the extreme test, he would have been beaten black and blue.
So showing off requires strength, and the consequence of trying too hard is a bloody face.
"Principal, can you give us another chance?"
"Please, we don't want to go home, wuuuu..."
Someone started crying out loud, and immediately more people started crying too. In a short period of time, more than 200 men who had endured the most demanding training were wiping their tears like young wives.
Lei Zhen frowned: Are these the soldiers I lead?
He has trained himself to this point, and has endured hardships that others may not be able to achieve in their entire lives, yet he is crying at this time. It is simply outrageous!
"Principal, please come here." Wu Mei's voice came from behind.
"Is there something wrong?" Lei Zhen turned his head.
Being interrupted at this time, he wanted to scold the other person, but when he thought about how he had just promised to love the other person for ten thousand years, he really couldn't get angry.
So I could only suppress my inner dissatisfaction and get up and walk over.
"What's the matter?"
Lei Zhen tried hard to calm down, but in the end he didn't dare to be too arrogant with Da Wumei because she was full of poison and not easy to mess with.
"They cry because they are afraid to go home. That way they will be considered losers and will not only be punished by the clan, but their entire family will never be able to hold their heads up again."
"Especially the winners, who have almost zero tolerance for losers, so..."
Wu Mei briefly explained the situation, mainly that the soldiers were worried about the consequences of returning home.
Wherever the champion goes, there are flowers and applause, but the loser not only does not have these, but will suffer all kinds of ridicule and mockery just because he failed.
In fact, whether loser or champion, they all make the same effort, and I don’t know how much blood and tears they shed, but everyone can only remember the winner.
No one wants to know how much the losers paid.
Very realistic and heartbreaking.
It’s even worse in the mountains, where the winner is the most dominant, so the eliminated fighters cry.
"I see, you really are my good wife!" Lei Zhen suddenly realized and said, "Wait for me to reward you nicely tonight, hehe."
"You had a murderous expression just now, and now you're just turning the page?" Wu Mei rolled her eyes at him.
This posture, this look, this style, it is hard to control yourself.
"That's the look on my face that I want to eat you!" Lei Zhen said rudely, "Go back and wash yourself clean, and wait for me. I allow you to eat me as much as you want!"
"But I can't wait until night."
"Just play by yourself first..."
After understanding the situation, Lei Zhen was no longer angry.
Although it is unclear how the winners will treat the losers, we can roughly guess.
If it wasn't extremely harsh, how could it make these soldiers who had experienced the most difficult times cry? They were not thinking about the punishment, but the consequences of failure.
Perhaps not being able to hold your head up is just the lightest of the problems; the viciousness and humiliation that follow are the real problem.
It doesn't just fall on one person, but on the entire family, or even several generations of people.
But the soldiers thought too much. How could Lei Zhen send them back home?
After so much effort in training, although he has not reached his standards, he would be the top one in any special forces unit.
"The road of life is long, full of bumps, ups and downs..."
Lei Zhen began to speak at length again, talking about life, and explaining the truth in a simple and profound way.
“Plop!”
"Principal, please give us another chance!"
"We promise to meet the standards, even if it means dying here!"
"Please, Headmaster—"
More than 200 people knelt down and begged Lei Zhen to give them another chance.
"damn it!"
Lei Zhen was furious, with a fierce light in his eyes.
He strode over and raised his hand to slap him.
“Snap! Snap! Snap!…”
Each of them slapped the tiger more than two hundred times in one breath, and their hands were swollen.
"When you wear a military uniform, you represent your country. You are not allowed to kneel under any circumstances! Orientals have bones made of iron. The knees of Oriental soldiers will not bend!"
"My soldiers can cry, laugh, be arrogant, and cause trouble, even if it means making a huge mistake. But they are not allowed to beg for help, let alone kneel down and beg for help!"
"Line up, slap each other, and stop only when I say so!"
When the order was given, more than 200 soldiers stopped crying, stood up, lined up facing each other in pairs, and started slapping each other in the face.
They slapped each other again and again, even though their faces and mouths were covered in blood, they did not dare to stop until Lei Zhen gave the order. Then they put down their hands and stood there upright, waiting for their punishment.
"If one person is sick, everyone needs to take medicine!" Lei Zhen roared, "Come over there, everyone, do as they do!"
The soldiers who met the standards ran over in a line and were punished together.
"First, when you're in uniform, your knees won't bend!"
"Second, you can cry or laugh, but you are not allowed to ask for help!"
"Third, you can die, but you must never surrender!"
"My soldiers, Lei Zhen, must be this awesome. If you can't do it, don't say you were brought up by me! Read it out loud and memorize it!"
The criteria for a good soldier are strength and spirit.
Many times, spirit is more important than strength, and backbone is more precious than winning.
