"Hehehehe..."
Chen Xiwa's conversation with the person next to her caused a burst of laughter from everyone in the carriage. Seeing this, Li Ling smiled and said, "Gentlemen, now that we're on the special forces' vehicle, everyone should keep a high level of vigilance in mind!"
"As expected, things will get complicated soon. They can't just take us into the training camp like they would new recruits."
Chen Pai echoed, "That's right, everyone should stay alert. If we encounter any unexpected situations, we should treat them as real combat scenarios, as long as..."
Before the words were finished—
"Boom boom boom..."
Before Chen could finish speaking, an incident occurred. A series of explosions suddenly rang out from both sides of the road, and dirt splattered onto the truck's canvas. The truck braked sharply, causing everyone inside to fall into a heap once again.
"Grab your gear, get out of the car. From now on, you're on your own." Li Ling shouted and charged towards the back of the car.

Chapter 47 Li Ling's Downfall
When an emergency occurred, Chen, the highest-ranking officer in the carriage, took the initiative to assume the role of commander and shouted loudly, "Quickly, get off the train, throw off your backpacks, and prepare for battle!"
"Who are we going to fight?" Chen Xiwa asked, clearly still a bit confused, as she followed Chen Pai.
"Whoever stands out will be attacked."
"We loaded blanks."
"Nonsense, this is clearly a show of force to intimidate us. You think they're serious if they don't use blanks?"
The next moment, more than a dozen tear gas canisters were thrown out, and the surroundings were immediately filled with smoke and chaos. No one could see anyone else, and everyone finally understood what Li Ling meant by "good luck to everyone."
"Newbies, take note! You are surrounded. Drop your weapons and surrender immediately. The first ten caught will be eliminated. Good luck!"
Upon hearing the veteran's words, the rookies immediately scattered like birds and beasts. Now they could only pray for their own good fortune; no one could help them, because no one wanted to be among the first ten to be caught.
Li Ling recognized the speaker's heavily accented Mandarin as Tu Lang, a veteran special forces soldier from the Tujia ethnic group.
The moment the special forces soldiers threw out the tear gas, while Chen Pai was still yelling for everyone to wear masks, Li Ling had already started diving into the woods behind him, taking the initiative.
However, Li Ling discovered that he was not the first. To his left and in front of him was another person, also a scout, wearing red cadet epaulets.
Li Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately guessed his identity: Geng Jihui, the future leader of the Lone Wolf Special Assault Team B of the Wolf Fang Special Forces, codenamed 'Forest Wolf'.
While Li Ling was pondering, Geng Jihui had already disappeared into the woods. Li Ling was not going in the same direction as him, and he had no intention of playing the same tricks as Geng Jihui, taking down the veterans and impersonating them. There was no point in that. If he was going to do it, he should do it in a more spectacular way.
After rushing into the woods, Li Ling slung his rifle over his shoulder. He knew that there were definitely experienced hunters lying in ambush in this forest, so he moved very carefully, slowing his breathing and focusing all his attention on sensing the movements around him.
Suddenly, Li Ling's pupils contracted as he ran, and he leaped into the air. A rope had appeared in his path, hidden in a patch of grass. When Li Ling was less than a meter away from the rope, it was pulled taut.
In that instant, Li Ling reacted and jumped up just before he tripped over the rope, avoiding falling to the ground.
Two old birds suddenly sprang up from the bushes a few meters away and pounced on Li Ling. They were camouflaged, so Li Ling did not notice them.
Li Ling was fearless and charged towards the man on the left. He showed no mercy to the veteran special forces soldiers, knowing that their physical abilities were not much weaker than his. Holding back would be asking for trouble.
Li Ling turned his head to avoid the old bird's straight punch, then squatted down slightly to dodge the following hook punch, while simultaneously throwing a hook punch at the old bird's abdomen.
"Bang!"
The old bird was punched in the abdomen and bent slightly. Li Ling didn't hesitate and swung out a chop to the side of the old bird's neck. The old bird was knocked unconscious in one move.
"drink!"
Just as he took down the old bird, the old bird on the right caught up and kicked Li Ling in the left shoulder, causing Li Ling to fall to the right. Li Ling braced himself with his right palm on the ground, managed to hold on, pulled his legs back, and then suddenly kicked out in mid-air.
With a kick that landed squarely on the waist and abdomen of the old bird who was right behind him, Li Ling straightened up and stood up again. He took two big steps forward, closed in on the old bird's open space, and elbowed him in the ribs. Then he grabbed the old bird's left arm and slammed him to the ground with a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.
While he was still dazed, another palm strike was delivered, and the old bird let out a "uh" and followed in his companion's footsteps.
After dealing with the two seasoned veterans lying in ambush, Li Ling rubbed his left arm, which had been kicked, and turned to continue running, muttering to himself, "Damn it, they really are special forces soldiers. That kind of force is hard to take!"
Time passed second by second. After dealing with the two ambushing veterans, Li Ling encountered another group of three veterans.
It took some effort to deal with the three people. Li Ling himself also suffered some minor injuries. His left cheek was swollen and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth, which was cut by his teeth. If you took off his clothes, you would see bruises all over his body. He even walked with a limp.
However, the three veterans fared even worse. One of them was knocked unconscious by Li Ling at the beginning due to carelessness, making him the luckiest one.
The remaining two were hit multiple times during their fight with Li Ling, and in the end, they were in so much pain that they almost lost their fighting ability before Li Ling knocked them unconscious.
After shaking off the veteran pursuers, Li Ling hid in some bushes, breathing calmly. The world seed in his mind emitted a cool energy, relieving the pain in his body.
...
At the Wolf Fang Special Forces selection training camp, under the flagpole where the helmets of the eliminated soldiers were placed, apart from the ten rookies who were caught first standing to one side, all the other rookies were squatting on the field with their heads in their hands.
Of course, Li Ling and Geng Jihui are not included.
Chen Pai was the last one brought back. Li Ling had reminded him that he shouldn't provoke anyone in the special forces training camp, or he would only suffer for nothing, and he kept that in mind.
Therefore, after he was caught, he didn't make a fuss like in the original drama. Instead, he obediently squatted down to the side, squatting with Chen Xiwa, Lao Pao, and others.
"Has Xiao Zhuang been brought back?" Chen Pai asked Chen Xiwa calmly.
"No! These old hands will probably have a tough time taking down the dealer," Chen Xiwa chuckled in reply.
Old Pao, seemingly having thought of something, chuckled softly and said with a wicked grin, "It would be more interesting if this kid took down a few more."
Chen Pai and the others all lowered their heads and revealed a smile they couldn't help but chuckle.
The high school team stood under the flagpole with gloomy faces. There were 129 trainees in total, but only 127 were present. Two had not been caught yet, and most importantly, eight of the veterans had lost their responses.
