Chapter 341 A Holiday on the Snowfield

Standing amidst the crowd, Fang Mo gazed intently at Lin Qiye, who was floating in the air above.

Although the graduation assessment was very difficult, his overall physical strength had increased significantly since Li Jie helped him cleanse his tendons and marrow.

So this assessment was a piece of cake for him.

"Fang Mo, do you think there might be wolves inside...?"

"Zhenzhen, you're supposed to be Cupid's representative, how can you be afraid of wolves... Besides, if there were wolves, wouldn't you just turn into a lapdog if you shot one with an arrow?"

"Right."

After Su Zhe's reminder, Li Zhenzhen patted her not-so-full chest and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, Instructor Lin has made it very clear. There will definitely be many dangers on the way to this assessment, so it's better if we travel together."

"Ugh, who wants to walk with you? I find that disgusting!"

Su Yuan rolled her eyes at her brother, put on her winter coat with a huff, and walked ahead first.

Suffocated, Su Zhe could only shake his head and urge everyone to move forward.

The longer they stayed in the Pamir Plateau, the further apart the recruits became, with the few teams that were on good terms moving forward in twos and threes.

By the time Fang Mo, Su Zhe, and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain, Li Zhenzhen was already having trouble breathing.

"Hey, slow down, I feel like I can't breathe."

"It's normal. This place is not bad. Although the altitude has increased a bit, it's still within an acceptable range."

"If you go any higher, not only will altitude sickness be more pronounced, but the temperature will also drop to an appalling level."

Ding Chongfeng, a former soldier, seemed to know the terrain here very well. He explained to the others while having Li Zhenzhen breathe slowly.

"Let's rest here for a bit, and once we've adapted to the climate, we'll pick up the pace while we still have some energy."

"Otherwise, the further we go, the more our physical strength will be depleted."

"Moreover, once we fall behind the main force, the chances of being eliminated will increase exponentially."

"Ding Chongfeng is right, we should set off as soon as possible."

After helping Li Zhenzhen up from the ground, Fang Mo glanced at the dense crowd of people behind her.

"The second echelon has arrived."

...........

"What a hassle. Wouldn't it be better to go back to sleep instead of staying here watching these greenhorns?"

Xia Simeng lay on a relatively clean rock at the top of the mountain, muttering in dissatisfaction.

"Granny Kong, tell me, isn't Li the Skinflint out of his mind! Why didn't he just let Lin Qiye and the others come over? Why did he have to drag us along?"

"Captain, who are you referring to as 'Li the Skinflint'?..."

"Who else could it be besides our section chief?"

"He didn't seem to assign us any strenuous work..."

"Oh, sorry, I'm used to it. None of those commanders are any good; they're all just exploitative bourgeois!"

"..."

Kong Shang rolled his eyes at his captain helplessly, but decided to take on the task of protecting the new recruits himself.

Xia Simeng is a fine person, except she's stubborn, but when something really happens, she's always the first to step up.

Over time, the Phoenix team has become a dynamic where the male leads the household chores and the female leads the external affairs.

"What do you think Wang Mian is doing now?"

"He's probably keeping watch over his group of new recruits too..."

On the other side of the hillside.

Amidst the howling wind, the vortex remained unaffected and slammed down the playing cards in its hand.

"Four twos and two kings! I only have one card left!"

"Deng, deng deng, deng deng deng deng~~!" (onomatopoeia)

"Who plays by the rules like that!"

"Anyway, I'm the landlord, so what's it to you!"

"Four threes..."

With his face masked and his expression unreadable, Libra weakly placed the cards in his hand on top of the six gleaming cards.

I only have two cards left!

"Can four threes control my four twos?"

"Of course, who told you to bring two kings along?"

Rose slapped her forehead, falling into deep self-doubt.

Why would I play poker with this idiot?!

Standing atop the mountain, Wang smiled gently at his relaxed teammates.

This feels really good.

It seems that since Li Jie became the head of the Special Operations Division, the pressure on these special teams has been greatly reduced.

In the past, they were either on a mission or on their way to one; how could they possibly have had time to play cards?

Wang Mian was ostensibly invited to serve as a special instructor during the new recruit training graduation assessment, but in reality, he knew very well that Li Jie was just giving them a break.

After all, it was Lin Qiye and his team who were in charge of the assessment.

The "Masked" group he led, along with the little phoenix crouching on the other side, were just there to make up the numbers.

After all, this is within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty; there aren't that many dangers there.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Wang Mian found a patch of loose ground, sat down, and gazed at the 'new recruits' slowly making their way through the valley.

"Who came up with this idea? It's basically an upgraded version of a forced march..."

.........

The night was past midnight, and before they knew it, Lin Qiye, along with Fatty and the others, had sneaked up behind the new recruits.

"The bottom 100 will all be eliminated."

As soon as he finished speaking, exactly one hundred drones instantly took off from the snowfield and landed precisely on the one hundred recruits ranked last.

"What bad luck! If the road hadn't been so slippery, I definitely wouldn't have been eliminated today!"

"Hey, wait, where are you taking me?!"

"Let go, let go, I can walk by myself!!"

"......"

The eliminated recruits were quickly picked up by an off-road vehicle sent by Yuan Gang and sped off in another direction.

disuse?

It doesn't exist at all.

These people are all elites selected from various places. Although they are 'eliminated' in the final assessment, they will go to another place for the next assessment. However, the place they are finally assigned to will be more difficult.

..........

Hidden behind the mountains, two familiar figures were struggling to crawl across the boundless snowfield.

"I'm hungry, I'm going to find something to eat."

Si Xiaonan breathed heavily, pretending to be exhausted, and sat down on the ground. Leng Xuan, standing next to him, blinked in agreement and whispered.

"As ordered."

After they returned to Asgard with Loki, the latter immediately placed a listening device on Leng Xuan, ostensibly out of concern that they might encounter danger.

In reality, it was to monitor whether the two were truly working for him.

Therefore, throughout their journey, Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan's actual communication relied entirely on physical gestures.

Fortunately, the two had a great understanding.

If it were two different people, they might have been exposed long ago.
