Jiang Zeyi's previous position was quite a distance away from the center of the entire line. Those who walked to the left were two kilometers away from the end point, while those who walked to the right were three kilometers away.
This meant that those who walked to the left, there were about three teams who walked to the end and realized that their previous path was completely wasted. They even had to turn back.
Once they turned back, they would have to walk an additional six kilometers to reach the construction site. Not only would it waste time, but it would also waste a lot of energy.
Qu Sen did not design this segment entirely out of bad taste. He wanted to see if these guys would treat each other as competitors and not treat each other as comrades.
It must be known that the teams who walked to the end and realized that the white line was gone were undoubtedly the more modest ones. Otherwise, they would not have been at the end of the line.
In that case, what would the person who had been modestly declined do when the person who had been modestly declined?
Would they pretend not to see, or would they be happy to see a joke?
Or would they give up their section to the teams who were already assigned to the excavation section? Then, everyone would scurry back to the other side until they reached the end of the other side.
This way, the extra six kilometers would be evenly distributed to each team. In fact, they did not need to walk very far. It was just that the teams who started digging first would dig a ditch for nothing.
Of course, this might not be fair to the teams who chose to walk to the right. However, between comrades, was there really a need for absolute fairness to work more or less?
Moreover, no one had ever said that the five-kilometer communication ditch was not a task for each person, but a task shared by all 270 of them.
None of these 270 people knew that their every move was faithfully recorded by the seven "Swifts" hovering in the air.
The results that the "Swifts" reported back made the group of people who were watching very disappointed. No one gave up the section that was already assigned to them. The three teams who walked to the end and realized that the white line had disappeared sighed and could only helplessly turn back.
Along the way, some people asked curiously and the three teams were laughed at by many people for a while.
It sounded like a lot for one person to dig a ditch that was nearly 19 meters long, but in reality, the soil in the section that was assigned to them was very loose.
Other than the roots of trees and shrubs, which required more effort in the more developed areas, most of the sections were quite easy to dig.
At around 3: 30 in the afternoon, people started to finish their sections. By the time it was past four o 'clock, more than half of the people had finished. The situation was not bad. Most of the people who had completed the mission rested for a while and then began to help the people in the same group.
When it was past five o 'clock, most of the trenches had been connected. From the surveillance footage of the drone, it could be seen that there were only twenty or so sections that were not yet completed.
Young Master Xu was completely exhausted. He sat under a tree not far from the ditch. Using his weak hand, he trembled as he picked up the kettle. It took him a lot of effort to open the lid.
After he tilted his head back and drank the rest of the water in the kettle, he lost his grip and the kettle fell out of his hand. It hit his chin and fell onto the grass. Young Master Xu stared blankly and turned his neck for a long time, but he still couldn't find the kettle.
The rest of his work was taken over by the three NCOs in the same group. It was not that the others did not want to help, but there was not much work left. A small section of two to three meters could not accommodate more people.
Looking at the entire five-kilometer trench, the overall requirement was 1.5 meters deep and 1 meter wide. However, there was a huge difference in the quality of the finished product.
Some sections were dug carelessly, and the soil that was turned over was scattered everywhere. Some sections were neat and tidy, and the trench lines were straight. The soil that was turned over outside was also piled up very neatly and firmly.
The instructor of the special forces recorded everyone's performance. Seventeen of their names had already been crossed out with a red cross.
Eight of the seventeen people had disputes with the people in the same group or the neighboring groups because of the sections. Two people finished their work and ran to the side to rest. The six people had the energy to spare, but they had been slacking off.
The last person was the first lieutenant who organized everyone's work at the beginning. Originally, his performance was not bad. But after four o 'clock, he saw that many people had finished their work, so he directly handed the rest of his work to the soldiers in the same group.
Then, he took a tape measure and shuttled through the entire construction site. After walking for a while, he measured the depth and width of the trench. He also trained a few soldiers who did not meet the standards. He looked very serious and responsible.
The first lieutenant might have thought that he was serious and responsible, but what he didn't know was that this behavior made the people on the other side of the monitor all frown.
The special forces were a team of full-time soldiers. Every member had their own division of labor. Their military rank did not mean that they had the right to command.
Of course, among the more than two hundred people who participated in the election, there was no designated leader. It was not a bad thing that someone was willing to stand up and take on more responsibility.
But the problem was that whoever wanted to play the role of the leader or supervisor had to at least complete their own work first.
On the other hand, a few medical professional officers who had been recruited performed well. Although their physical strength was very poor, they had been helping those who had scratched their hands or accidentally injured their wounds since the middle of the afternoon.
At this time, although they were all so tired that they were about to collapse, they still held bandages and iodophor and continued to busy themselves in the crowd.
Of course, most of the tasks assigned to them were done by the soldiers in the same group.

When it was close to six o 'clock, the five-kilometer communication channel was finally connected. From breakfast until now, the 270 people who had only eaten a piece of compressed dry food and their water bottles had long been empty sat on both sides of the channel. They looked completely like migrant workers.
It was not until around six-thirty that some people called for everyone to start gathering. It was close to seven o 'clock that everyone dragged their feet and returned to the assembly point.
At this time, another four people's names were marked with a red cross. This was because the four people had left their tools around the place where they had worked before.
Just as everyone was sitting on the ground again, waiting for the next order, a buzzing sound could be heard in the air.
Everyone raised their heads and looked. Under the moonlight, they vaguely saw a few black shadows slowly descending. Some people didn't know what the black shadows were. Some people recognized that they were drones. Only a few people knew that they were Swift from the sound.
Xu Han recognized one of the Swift. He sat on the ground and watched as someone went forward to remove the package from the drone. He felt that one of the surveillance cameras had been pointed at him.
After he moved a little, the drone's camera also moved a little.
"Motherf * cker, it must be that Qu guy laughing at me!" After Xu Han confirmed the situation, he instantly had a guess.
Young Master Xu's intuition was very accurate. The person sitting on the other side of the drone's camera was indeed Qu Sen. Just as he guessed, Qu Sen was laughing very happily.
"Little guy, who told you to be cocky? This is just the beginning." Qu Sen murmured as he looked at Young Master Xu, whose hands were wrapped in gauze again. His face looked miserable.
"Stop laughing at me. Xu Han has real skills. He performed well today," An Jingzhe said unhappily.
"Look at how ignorant you are. You think hacking the server is something? Before I graduated, I read all the encrypted files in our school's server, "Qu Sen said in disdain.
"Mhmm, so you're capable! If you're so capable, why don't you come to our special forces? I'll make you a team leader! "An Jingzhe provoked.
"Heh, I don't have a problem. It's fine as long as you can deal with our commander!" Qu Sen cracked a smile. N Shuddered as he replied.
"…" An Jingzhe was speechless. He knew that the commander Qu Sen was talking about wasn't Yue Jianjun, but Han Zhenjiang.
An Jingzhe and Han Zhenjiang had met once before, but it wasn't an experience worth remembering. This was because the two of them met when Han Zhenjiang was inspecting the "prisoner of war camp" after the end of the divisional level confrontation exercise.
At that time, An Jingzhe and his Tigers Down the Mountain were trapped in the "prisoner of war camp" after they were ambushed during the "decapitation" operation.
That unbearable past resurfaced in front of his eyes. An Jingzhe remembered that it was all Qu Sen's "good deed". His teeth that hadn't been scratched in a long time couldn't help but itch again.

As the drone with the strongest load capacity among the several existing models of drones. Seven "Swifts" delivered tactical flashlights, maps, compasses, and a piece of white paper with orders written on it to the candidates.
The order was very simple: Arrive at the designated assembly location before 22: 30.
There were twenty-seven maps and compasses, and fifty-four tactical flashlights. However, the order didn't specify whether everyone should act in groups or act together.
After the items were distributed to each group, everyone quickly realized that the marked points on all the maps were the same. Therefore, the team of 270 people all set off after finding the direction.
As they moved forward, the differences in their physical fitness gradually became apparent. The team that originally moved side by side gradually became thinner and longer. An hour later, it had turned into an intermittent long snake formation.
In the beginning, all the teams could take care of their physically weak companions and help each other move forward. When it was close to 10: 00, under the pressure of the assembly time, some people began to leave their teams and move forward alone.
There were also those who didn't want to drag their teammates down, so they told everyone to leave them alone and run.
At 10: 20, nearly one-third of the people arrived at the designated assembly point. More people behind them were panting as they moved toward the finish line.
As they moved forward, the team became more and more sparse. Some people were half-walking and half-running, some people were half-walking and half-crawling, and some people saw that there was no time and simply sat down and gave up.
At 10: 45, when most people arrived at the assembly point, a row of strong spotlights suddenly lit up four hundred meters away.
Just as the candidates who were exhausted on the ground squinted their eyes and curiously looked in the direction of the light source, a voice sounded through a loudspeaker, "In five minutes, charge through the open space four hundred meters ahead!"
Four hundred meters in five minutes, for the candidates, even if they were physically exhausted, it wasn't a difficult task.
When some people subconsciously got up and began to run, some people were observing. They didn't believe that the task would be so simple, so they were still watching.
Seeing that the people who started running first had already rushed nearly a hundred meters, and still nothing happened, the people who were watching and had just reacted also got up and began to run.
"Boom, boom, boom …"
