"Bang bang..." Li Ling fired two shots, knocking a target that jumped out into smoke, before speaking: "Legal methods, methods that do not violate humanitarian principles."
"What if the bomb is about to explode, and hundreds of hostages die?"
Li Ling leaped forward a few steps, knocked down another target, and replied, "In this situation, I will use every method that can make him talk."
"Is it through torture to extract confessions?"
Li Ling: "I neither admit nor deny it."
"Okay, Rookie Eleven, if your teammates use the methods described above, how would you handle it?"
Geng Jihui crouched down with his gun at the ready and said, "I will do my best to assist him."
"Rookie Number Fifteen, your actions violate our army's policy of treating prisoners of war humanely. You are likely to be punished, or even discharged from the military. Do you still insist on doing this?"
Li Ling answered without hesitation: "I insist that the lives of the hostages are the most important thing. It's worth it for me to be punished in exchange for the lives of hundreds of hostages."
"Very good, move forward, next line..."
Chapter 52: The uncle's summary is truly insightful (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
After more than a month of intensive training, the rookies faced a cultural subject assessment.
Unsurprisingly, only Chen Xiwa, who only had a junior high school education, failed the "Explosion Thermochemistry" section, which is high school level knowledge.
Li Ling had tutored Xiwa before, but the tutoring time was only during fragmented time during training. In addition, Xiwa's foundation was weak, so he still failed the assessment this time.
After handing in his paper first, Li Ling went to see Xiwa off. Li Ling told him to go back and study high school chemistry well, and to use the year to take the special forces exam again next year. By then, perhaps the veterans who were in charge of training him would be them.
Chen Xiwa left with a touch of regret and aspirations for the future, while the others continued to train and be eliminated.
It is worth mentioning that on the very night that the Rookie Team A was formed, Li Ling privately approached the medic and told him about Chen Pai's ankylosing spondylitis. The medic was immediately shocked.
Li Ling quickly told him that they usually paid close attention to maintenance, so Chen Pai's condition was not serious.
Li Ling told the medic about all the efforts Chen Pai had made to become a special forces soldier. As a fellow soldier, the medic could empathize with Chen Pai's efforts and was immediately persuaded by Li Ling.
He promised not to expose the matter, but every day after training, the medic would endure his fatigue and take time to give Chen Pai some professional massages in private to alleviate the effects of his high-intensity training.
The effect was remarkable. After this period of training, Chen Pai's joints, which had started to ache again, were able to recover with the help of the medic's massage therapy and did not flare up.
Chen Pai was speechless with gratitude for everything Li Ling had done for him, and he simply kept this kindness firmly in his heart. As a result, the medic also became a close friend of Li Ling and his comrades. In private, Li Ling would even ask the medic for medical knowledge and simple martial arts moves.
In addition to being a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, the Shi family is also a family of martial arts practitioners, holding a significant position in the contemporary martial arts world, and their family's martial arts skills are quite formidable.
However, the methods of increasing strength in traditional Chinese martial arts could not be spread by the medic; it was a family tradition, and Li Ling did not insist on it.
Li Ling learned simple moves and techniques, which were indeed much better than military boxing. Moreover, Li Ling's physical fitness was no worse than that of someone trained in traditional Chinese martial arts. This shocked Shi Dafan, but he could only attribute it to his innate talent.
The dissemination of medical knowledge is much more relaxed. With Li Ling's memory, which is not inferior to photographic memory, he learned very quickly under Shi Dafan's guidance. He not only memorized the meridians and acupoints of the human body in a short period of time, but also became adept at some simple pharmacological applications.
It must be said that the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is vast and profound. Many veteran doctors of traditional Chinese medicine can only achieve very little success in their entire lives. Li Ling has only memorized a few superficial things so far.
But compared to Shi Dafan, who had been raised by his family since childhood, he was so shocked by Li Ling's learning speed that his jaw almost dropped. Someone with abnormal physical qualities and a near-photographic memory, are you sure you're not God's illegitimate child?
...
Next, with Li Ling's full support for Chen Pai, Chen Pai managed to persevere and successfully pass the second stage of the comprehensive assessment. At this point, only twelve rookies remained, including Chen Pai and Li Ling.
The third phase is a three-day wilderness survival training program codenamed "Wandering in the Jungle." They need to traverse an unfamiliar jungle, find their way back to the camp, and return within three days.
Just like in the original series, the newbies had no food, no navigation equipment, and only a map drawn from the descriptions of the veterans.
Li Ling was full of confidence for this subject because he was prepared. He had memorized his location from the moment he got into the vehicle in the camp and was blindfolded.
Because he remembered the location, his route deviated from Xiao Zhuang's route in the original drama, which meant he didn't encounter the captain and therefore didn't have the opportunity to discuss dealing with Dog Head Lao Gao with the captain.
After the car left the camp, he judged the car's direction by the left and right shifts of the car's center of gravity, sketching the route in his mind and adjusting the direction at any time. He couldn't help but marvel again at the benefits of having a super memory.
So when they got off the bus at the starting point and took off their blindfolds, Li Ling knew clearly that this jungle was located southwest of the camp. As for how far away it was, his impression was rather vague, probably around two hundred kilometers, or maybe more, or less.
However, he only needs to remember one thing: if he keeps heading northeast, he will definitely be able to get back to the camp.
The newbies set off one every ten minutes, carrying their ridiculously funny maps as they disappeared into the woods.
The high school team made it clear beforehand that they could not team up or help each other, otherwise they would all be eliminated. But if you really encounter a teammate in danger and do not rescue them, then you are really just waiting to be eliminated!
During the selection process, veterans have played too many tricks of deception, so newbies don't need to think too much. As long as they can adhere to the principles and ethics of a soldier, they will basically not fall into the veterans' traps.
Li Ling also set off. After entering the forest, he pretended to check the map for a while, and then turned northeast. However, it was nighttime and he could not see the forest environment clearly. Li Ling did not dare to rush blindly, but carefully tried to walk in the shallow grass.
Li Ling knew that the forest was full of surveillance cameras set up by veteran birds, and there were probably even veteran birds lurking in some grassy nests watching!
After a night of running, Li Ling was lucky enough to find a forest path. He breathed a sigh of relief. The existence of a path meant that people often traveled on it, which meant that the chances of him encountering wild beasts were slim.
Having found a relatively large tree, Li Ling sat down on the trunk to rest and regain some strength before starting to search the surrounding area for food.
During this process, Li Ling picked a beautiful wild orchid, which she would give to Xiao Ying later.
He took out a selection of Shakespearean plays from his backpack. This book was stolen by Xiaoying from her father's bookshelf when they were children and given to Li Ling (Zhuang Yan). It has special sentimental value for him, so Li Ling usually carries this book with him except in special circumstances.
Carefully tucking the wild orchid into the book, Li Ling flipped through a few pages and found Xiao Ying's photo tucked inside. He touched Xiao Ying's face in the photo, a happy smile appearing on his lips.
After putting the book back in his backpack, Li Ling found a bamboo rat burrow. Bamboo rats are quite common in the jungles of Southwest China. The first of the eighteen oddities of Yunnan is "four bamboo rats in a sack".
This means that bamboo rats in the southwest region are usually very fat and meaty. Li Ling found the bamboo rat burrow and immediately started digging with the entrenching tool on his backpack.
