    “Comrades, this time it’s A Battalion taking the initiative to challenge us. Tell me, what is this?”


    Inside a remote military base nestled amidst ovepping mountains and ancient forests.


    At this moment, two Z-8 helicopters were parked nearby.


    ck Fox, standing in front of a group of soldiers who, despite their casual appearance, were no different from fully armed reconnaissance troops, had a stern expression as he addressed them.


    “This is provocation, a serious provocation. We are the kings ofnd warfare, we are special forces, the elite among the elite, and now a subordinate reconnaissance toon dares to challenge us.


    I don’t know how you felt when you heard this news, but let me tell you how 1 felt.


    1 felt like a p to my face!”


    The soldiers in their distinctive uniforms, wearing the lightning sword armbands exclusive to special forces, remained silent.


    ck Fox squinted his eyes, his face darkening as he continued, “Perhaps we’ve been negligent in the past, too focused on training and executing missions, and neglected to take care of them.


    But this time!”


    ck Fox raised a finger, “This time, 1 have only one request for you: instill fear in them, leave them with a lifelong psychological shadow they can never forget, and let other units know what the Mountain Leopards truly represent.”


    Do you have confidence?”


    “Yes! Yes! Yes!”


    “Very well, no more talking. Come up and collect your supplies now!”


    The special forces were in action, while Wang Ye and the others had already boarded the vehicle.


    They didn’t have the same treatment as the special forces, nor did they ride in transport helicopters.


    At this moment, the entire toon boarded vehicles and were immediately taken into the wilderness.


    It was around midnight when the vehicles finally came to a stop.


    “This is an outdoor supply point of our division, and it seems to be guarded by your Iron Bones Hero Regiment. I’ve been here once!” said Ge Hui, looking at Wang Ye while they disembarked.


    Wang Ye was slightly surprised.


    They had returned to the Iron Bones Hero Regiment’s outdoor supply point?


    Unable to resist, he carefully surveyed his surroundings.


    Well, there didn’t seem to be much here, just a yground in front of a row of buildings where everyone had parked, and there appeared to be a railway line behind.


    That was about it.


    Oh… and a few soldiers, you could see a few of them sparsely standing in front of the row of buildings now!


    “If you’re here to goof off, this ce is paradise, but if you want to be a good soldier, this ce is hell,” whispered Qiu Shuang to Wang Ye at this moment.


    But before he could finish saying this, the sentry whistle sounded.


    “Assemble!”


    The call came from thepanymander.


    Earlier, when Wang Ye and his group boarded the vehicles, they were from the samepany. However, after leaving the camp area, the other twopanies and the female soldiers’ squad joined them.


    Now, the entire battalion was assembled, with thepanymander standing on the side, and the staff officering forward directly.


    “Comrades, this time is a tremendous challenge. I don’t know if what I’m doing this time will have a psychological impact on you.


    After all, our opponents are the most elite forces in our group army.


    To challenge them, honestly, my most sincere thought for you all is not to lose too miserably!”


    The staff officer said this with a smile.


    As Wang Ye watched him, he couldn’t help but inwardly despise him.


    “The heart to y tactics is really dirty,” Wang Ye muttered to himself internally.


    This statement was practically engraved with the words “provocation” on his face.


    They were all reconnaissance soldiers, all young people, and soldiers who had undergone the kind of training that made them refuse to give up. The more he said like this, the less they would be willing to ept it.


    In fact, Wang Ye could hear the sound of grinding teeth from some people nearby.


    The army is actually quite straightforward, a group of young men who joined the army at the age of eighteen or neen, just out of school and not exposed to theplexities of the outside world. While many may have seen through this simple tactic of provocation, seeing through it doesn’t mean they won’t fall for it.


    The staff officer restrained his smile and continued, “Of course, even though 1 feel that your chances of winning are slim, challenging them was my initiative.


    Even if we lose, we must show the spirit of our A Division Reconnaissance Company.”


    Having said that, the staff officer didn’t waste any more time. He nced at thepanymander on the side, and thepanymander immediately stepped forward while waving his hand.


    Immediately, the logistics personnel who hade with the vehicles began unloading some boxes.


    They started distributing items right away.


    The first item was a small package.


    Thepanymander eximed, “This is an emergency kit. Inside, there are twopressed biscuits, a small bottle of clean water, and some emergency medical supplies.


    But this is something you should only use as ast resort, and using it means you’ve been eliminated.”


    Each person received a small emergency kit.


    Wang Ye wasn’t surprised by this.


    Soon, more items were distributed.


    A signal re and a map.


    However, each person received a signal re, but not everyone received a map.


    Thepanymander exined, “The signal re is for use during the exercise. If you want to withdraw, or if you capture an enemy, you can detonate their signal re to help them withdraw.


    As for the map, in this confrontation, the military has ced one hundred markers in arge area behind us.


    Each map corresponds to a marker location. Each male soldier’s toon has thirty maps, while the female soldiers have ten!”


    This distribution wasn’t about favoring male soldiers over female soldiers; it was because the female soldiers’ squad was small, roughly the size of a toon, and they wouldn’t be able to guard more maps if they had more.


    Thepanymander spoke again, “In this confrontation, we will use a survival mode of operation. Both sides will conduct small team operations in the jungle without food for five days. Each of our teams cannot exceed five members, and the opposing teams will not have more than three members.”


    Thepanymander’s words elicited a slight hum of discontent from some people.


    Some felt that the higher-ups in the exercise department seemed to be looking down on them. Why should we have five members while they only have three?


    However, Wang Ye’s focus wasn’t on this.


    He was surprised by this survival mode of operation.


    Could it really be yed like this?


    At this moment, Wang Ye was extremely grateful for having his own pocket dimension.


    If he didn’t have that, he would have had to survive for five days by eating grass, bark, and wild fruits.


    But soon, Wang Ye had another headache. This time it was a team-based mode of operation, and what about hisrades beside him?


    It was a bit of a headache!


    Wang Ye turned slightly and looked at hisrades on his left and right.


    Soon, he noticed that when he looked at them, there was hardly any change in their expressions.


    Mostly because they had gotten used to it.


    Reconnaissance soldiers undergo survival training.


    It typicallysts a minimum of three days and can extend up to seven days, where they are thrown into the jungle to fend for themselves, so it’s a normal part of their training.


    Unlike Wang Ye, who had arrived recently and hadn’t participated in this kind of training.


    Ahead, thepanymander was still speaking.


    “Special forces don’t have maps, but they can steal your maps or your markers.


    So, this challenge is very tough, and the ultimate oue will be determined five dayster based on the markers held by both sides.”


    The rules, up to this point, weren’t overlyplex.


    In general, it was about entering the jungle, obtaining markers, and keeping them for five days.


    However, the difficulty was undoubtedly high. Over five days, with no food, they had to constantly guard against special forces’ ambushes.


    Of course, reconnaissance soldiers could also counter-ambush special forces.


    Soon, the entire battalion dispersed, and thepanymanders began assigning specific tasks.


    “Luan Yiming, Feng Yuan… you four together!”


    Jiangnan handed them a map.


    Then he continued to call out names.


    The secondpany, including the entirepany and the cooking team, totaled 121 people.


    There were three maps in total, just enough for 29 groups of four-person teams and one group of five.


    However, something surprising happened as names were called out one by one, leaving Wang Ye puzzled.


    Everyone in the first toon was assigned to a group.


    But he was overlooked.


    It wasn’t until the end that Wang Ye found out where he was assigned.


    He was left with Jiangnan.


    Jiangnan, the clerical staff, the head of the cooking team, and his four-person team.


    “What are you looking at? Taking care of you, otherwise, with your limited skills, you’d starve in five days,” Jiangnan said without curiosity as he turned to look at Wang Ye, who had been staring at him.


    “Hehe, thanks, Captain!” Wang Ye thanked him with his mouth, but internally, he muttered, “You can’t starve me even if you tried!”


    Honestly, at this moment, Wang Ye was actually relieved.


    If he were to team up with the first toon, he might not even have the heart to sneak food from his personal space while everyone else was eating grass.


    But now, with Jiangnan, and especially since he didn’t know the other two in their group well, he was prepared to be less restrained.


    “You three can eat grass roots, I’ll have roasted chicken and sausages from my personal space…”


    Soon, the entirepany’s grouping wasplete, and the staff officer didn’t gather everyone but shouted, “It’s about time, now that you’re in your groups, head into the mountains. Remember, don’t make me look too bad!”


    With that, the entire reconnaissancepany started moving.


    Wang Ye followed Jiangnan.


    Of course, now the other soldiers also followed their respective toon leaders.


    They hadn’t split up yet before entering the mountains.


    However, once in the mountains, they each started moving in the direction indicated on their assigned maps.


    “A bunch of lunatics, running around for excitement in the middle of the night!”


    Over by the barracks at this wilderness supply point, a few soldiers were watching therge group heading into the mountains and couldn’t help but make suchments.


    “Yeah, they’ve got us up in the middle of the night too. They’re all just too idle.


    Listen to this, they’re even doing wilderness survivalbat, five days! It’s insane, not eating for five days, they’ll starve!”


    “Haha, they’re definitely crazy, who in their right mind bes a reconnaissance soldier? Alright, they’re gone, let’s go over and ask the officers on that side if they still need us to do anything. If not, let’s rest!”


    They were the stationed troops here.


    They were also soldiers from a small and distant unit.


    If Wang Ye had taken a closer look when he approached this area just now, he would have probably noticed that there was actually someone he knew here.


    However, Wang Ye had already entered the mountains at this point..
