I don't care where you come from, or what kind of background you have. Don't tell me who you are or who your family is. In my eyes, you are a bunch of rookies who have never seen the world. More accurately, you are a bunch of trash waiting to be reformed. And trash only needs to know one thing, and that is to obey, obey, obey, and obey. Do you understand? "
Qiu Si was direct. His first words were a stern reprimand. It was a crude insult, and many of their faces changed. They were all elites of the various nations, and had never suffered such humiliation before.
"Instructor, I object. We are elites from the various regions of the Solar System Federation, and represent the highest standards. We are not rookies, and we are definitely not trash!"
Dong Xiaosa stood up unceremoniously. With his explosive temper, if not for the fact that the other party was an officer, he would have long since stormed off. He did not know what they were capable of, but they had quite a reputation. Even the general was polite to them, and this was nothing.
Qiu Si's zombie-like face showed a trace of disdain, and his eyes widened. "If I say you are trash, then you are trash. Here, my words are the law. All you have to do is obey. From this moment onwards, if anyone dares to question my decisions, they will be eliminated immediately!"
Qiu Si stared at Dong Xiaosa mockingly, and Milo immediately pulled Dong Xiaosa down.
Clearly, Qiu Si was not joking. It had not been easy for Atos to be "resurrected" this time, and it had already put a lot of pressure on the Eight Stars. If they were eliminated against the instructor, it would really be a joke.
Achilles glanced coldly at Dong Xiaosa. Dong Xiaosa felt a chill run down his spine, and he hurriedly sat down.
At this moment, Achilles was rather dissatisfied. One had to know that his entire special training over the summer had been to get rid of these people's arrogance and naivety.
The training had its uses, and Dong Xiaosa's passion quickly subsided. He could feel the mocking gazes around him.
There were many who were dissatisfied, but no one was as impulsive as him.
"Instructor, I was wrong!"
Dong Xiaosa was no fool. He immediately apologized sincerely, portraying himself as a good warrior who dared to speak, do, and admit his mistakes.
Qiu Si nodded. "In the future, you can raise your hand if you have any questions. You can only speak after receiving approval. Now, all of you, stand at attention. At ease, turn right and jog!"
They were led by Qiu Si to the plaza. Mech after mech was placed before them, but almost everyone had disappointed looks on their faces.
What the f * ck … What kind of trash is this …
All of them were Earth's basic Bata Type V. This type of mech was the lowest grade for the military. They were elites from all over the Solar System. Not to mention this kind of broken mech, even the highest grade mech could be used. How could they train by using this kind of broken mech?
"Training begins now. Your first training is very simple. Depart from here and arrive at Zone 2 of Jill's base. The destination has already been set on your mecha. Those who fail to arrive within five days will be eliminated," said Qiu Si.
At this moment, another person raised his hand. It was Lie Guang.
"Speak."
"Reporting, Instructor. Is it fine as long as the person arrives?" Lie Guang asked.
"Idiot, the mech and the person must arrive together. As a mech warrior, if you lose your mech, you might as well die. Newbies, you've wasted another two minutes. Move now!!"
Following Qiu Si's roar, everyone rushed towards the Bata Type V. They tried their best to choose the newer looking mech. If they chose a broken one, they would be finished.
Earth's military training was too immoral and unreasonable. But everyone knew that the three stages were set by Earth, Mars, and the Moon to ensure fairness. It was best to keep a low profile in the other party's territory and not give them a reason to be eliminated.
Masasi and the rest made their moves. Achilles definitely had foresight. Compared to the hooliganism of the mercenaries, the military was still much better. Once they adjusted their mentality, the Eight Stars quickly got into the groove. They could not afford to drop the ball again.
Lie Guang and the rest had entered with the status of outstanding talents, while Atos had entered after being eliminated. Although it was in line with the rules, the other participants would not be too friendly.
Wang Zheng did not hesitate and quickly chose his mech. There was no problem with the mech itself. Regardless of whether it looked good or bad, its performance had been tested.
Everyone entered. The basic mech was easier to operate, and it was not a problem for these elites.
The mecha started up and opened up the map window. … Damn, there were many routes from here to the second base. They were winding, passing through the Gobi Desert, oases, and some dangerous places that had not yet been modified. The route was up to you, but the shortest route was over 400 kilometers.
In such an environment, the Bata Type V could not be too fast. Most importantly, humans did not invent mecha to be used as a means of transportation, but as a weapon of war.
They had to ensure that they traveled at least 100 kilometers a day for it to be considered safe. After all, accidents could happen at any time in the desert.
Everyone was equipped with an emergency button just in case. Although activating the emergency button would not result in immediate elimination, it was equivalent to digging a hole for one's score. Even if it was activated, it would take at least an hour for reinforcements to arrive.
But this was not battle mode, it was escape mode.
The 72 mech warriors bolted towards the vast desert.
What kind of test was this? Piloting mecha was a walk in the park for these people.
Piloting mecha was child's play for these people. Besides, it was Earth mecha, so there was no difficulty.
"Boss, which route should we choose? There are many choices here."
"Milo, do some calculations," Achilles said.
This was not a problem for him, but the desert was an unfamiliar environment after all. If there were no accidents, it would be luck. If something happened, it would be normal. Hence, if he wanted to lead the team out, he had to be steady.
Milo immediately pulled up all the routes. It was not just the shortest route. Most of the routes given by the military had some problems. But if they were to wander around in such an unfamiliar place, the consequences would be dire.
"We can take Route C. Although the distance is not the shortest, we will pass through two small oases. Also, from now on, everyone has to conserve water."
There were compressed biscuits and water in the mecha storage box, but in a place like the desert, they still had to be mentally prepared.
"Let's go!"
The team began to move in groups of three to five. In the face of the great natural world, humans only realized how small they were. It was not so easy to conquer this desert.
Wang Zheng and the rest set off as well. They did not have any outsiders to join them. Too many people would affect their speed. Under such circumstances, everyone chose their own people, and it was more reliable at critical times.
Lear set off alone, but Luo Fei found another team. This guy had a silver tongue, and he was an Earthling. Having an Earthling as a guide was always better.
The Lie family's team was unprecedentedly strong. With the addition of Lie Guang and Raston's stand, the Lie family's team was second only to the Moon's. On the other hand, Lear and Taros were becoming dimmer and dimmer. Especially Lear, who had been the focus of everyone's attention and high hopes.
Wang Zheng and the rest were also piloting their mecha and moving forward at a constant speed in the desert. No one was stupid about this. The four of them had driven desert cars here, so they already had a certain understanding of the desert's conditions. It was rather uncomfortable, and the situation of piloting a mech was even more difficult. Not long after, fatigue set in, and the temperature was indeed a little crazy.
"F * ck, who thought of this? We'll suffocate to death before we reach the end."
"Wang Zheng, we can't go on like this. I'm afraid we have to plan how to manage our time."
"It's too hot at noon, and it's exhausting."
"After all, we've just started. We'll rest in three hours."
Wang Zheng said.
"Alright, I think we can even use the night as our main marching time, and rest in the day and noon."
"Let's go! Let's show these people what we've learned from our special training!"
Zhang Shan was full of confidence. He had not been idle this summer, and his physical training had been maintained very well. He was not afraid of endurance.
In this aspect, the girls might be at a disadvantage, but Meng Tian was the best in terms of heat resistance, and Zhang Runan's physical strength was quite good, so they had a definite advantage.
Soon, everyone stopped talking. Talking was a waste of energy. After stepping into the desert, there were only sand dunes in front of them. They could not see the end, and there was no goal. They could only move forward according to the route.
Wang Zheng and the rest also chose the D route with an oasis. This was also the safest route.
When it was time to rest, the four of them jumped out of their mecha. It was said that super mecha were very good at isolating themselves from the outside environment. It was a pity that they were only using normal mecha. Zhang Shan liked to sweat a lot, and he was already dry and wet. He could not take it anymore.
Drinking big mouthfuls of water, Zhang Shan could not help but curse. "F * ck, we'll die before we reach the destination. What kind of training is this? Why aren't we doing it for real?"
Wang Zheng laughed. "Stop complaining. Since we can't change it, we have to learn to enjoy it."
"Indeed, life is like rape. If you can't resist, just enjoy it. Haha," Zhang Shan laughed.
"Zhang Shan, watch your words!" Zhang Runan said with a glare.
"Haha, sorry, I forgot that there are two ladies."
The three of them hid in the shadows of the mecha to rest for a while. When they entered the mecha again and started marching, it was obvious that they had slowed down. This was both physical and mental torture.
This was also what every student had to face. Compared to Demon Island, the desert was the real hell. In comparison, Demon Island was heaven. There were flowers, trees, and wild animals. Here … there was only sand.
Meng Ao looked at the green dots on the screen moving non-stop. This project was decided by him, and for this group of young people, it was not a small test.
Perhaps they were already prepared for individual combat, but there was still a big gap in this aspect. The IG selection was getting closer to actual combat, and not just mecha battles for show. They had to be fully prepared in order to achieve good results in Aslan and win glory for the Solar System Federation.
(Weekend, leave for half a day. Have a good weekend, everyone. Thank you.)
