Chapter 470
The first training of the 27 people lasted two and a half days. Without any means of communication, money, food and water, they had to ensure survival and complete their respective tasks, and then report back to the National Defense University between 11 am and 12 noon on the 6th.
They could not use facial recognition for various electronic payments. Even if they completed the task, they could not return early, let alone be late.
Not even could they be caught.
In short, everything was locked down tightly for them, and they had to find their own way with whatever was left.
Survival training was taken to the extreme!
This was not the wilderness here, it was the city, the vast Imperial Capital, with 27 people without even ID cards roaming around.
They were all elites from various military regions. Traversing the entire city on foot was absolutely no problem. The difficult part was the content of the tasks.
Nan XiangWan’s task was very weird. She had to go to a certain bureau and take away a file, and return it after 24 hours.
Forget about taking it away undetected with omni-directional, seamless security. The next 24 hours she couldn’t be caught either, and then had to put it back.
Ordinary people would probably pee their pants just hearing the task, but Nan XiangWan was already sprinting down the road. She didn’t have a specific plan in her head yet, but she knew she had to go to the target building first to scout around.
In addition, there was another huge problem - food and water sources!
But she had good hearing. While listening to her own task, she also heard the tasks of those around her, not far from her location.
It was said there were no limits on methods...
Nan XiangWan giggled, eating chocolate with her left hand, and a random vine tied around her body with her right hand, swinging around on various tree branches and low buildings.
A high-flying person!
At first light, elderly people were already starting their morning exercises, and students were going to school.
Nan XiangWan ‘whooshed’ past a student, taking away the other's red scarf.
"Class 5 Year 1 of No. 23 Primary School, I'll return it the day after tomorrow!"
Leaving these words behind, Nan XiangWan came and went without a trace, leaving the stunned primary school student behind in the wind.
Who still snatches red scarves these days???
Psycho!
Of course Nan XiangWan wouldn't care about the shock and confusion she left with the primary school student. She put on the red scarf around her neck, covering the lower half of her face.
It was light now, she couldn't let people see her face.
Otherwise there would soon be all kinds of bizarre remarks on the hot search, Nan XiangWan could even imagine what others would write about her.

[A female star asking for alms in the Imperial Capital’s morning]
Her image was very important!
It's just that the red scarf's color was bright, and she wore it like a spit cloth, flashy and ostentatious.
Nan XiangWan's speed was fast, arriving at the target location before 10am. She observed it was not a high-rise building, but it occupied a large area. Her task file was on the third floor of an office.
The lens sensors kept reminding that there were electronic cameras everywhere front and back, left and right!
Densely packed, covering the entire interior and exterior of the building. Even a fly flying in would have trouble not being discovered.
Nan XiangWan tidied the red scarf on her chest, turned around and left.
Five kilometers away was Cang Hai's mission location. He took the same route here, and according to the abilities of elites, he must have arrived nearby already and done reconnaissance work like this.
Nan XiangWan decided to try her luck.
On the other side, while Teng Shihai headed towards the National Defense University, he was discussing this batch of new recruits in the alumni group of their grade.
[20th Batch Invincible Elite Recruits]
‘Hourglass: How's the early morning operation going so far? Any deaths?’
‘Against the Light: None.’
‘Ice Eyes: None.’
‘Butterfly: None.’
One ‘none’ after another rolled in. Every newcomer had successfully landed without any casualties, which also relieved the senior alumni.
But after Little Raindrop sent a ‘none’, it soon sparked another discussion.
‘Hourglass: @Little Raindrop Did the female air force member from your military region perfectly complete it or did you give her a hand?’
Being tied up and doing an umbrella-less aerial pickup was the task. If a student didn't manage to complete it, the senior would take the initiative to rescue them in the air before reaching the minimum umbrella opening height.
Of course, this was a rescue for the students, but also an extreme task for the seniors.
No one could guarantee a successful catch every time during an umbrella-less aerial pickup!
'Little Raindrop: Hehe [laughing emoji].jpg'
'Ice Eyes: What the hell is with that cold laugh!'
'Hourglass: @Little Raindrop I heard you kept getting beaten by her in the military region, and got pinned to the ground and beaten again when reporting yesterday?'
'Butterfly: Stop it, Little Raindrop is about to cry. But is that female soldier really that strong? Isn't it a bit exaggerated?'
'Little Raindrop: How does it feel to bully your own military region's juniors?'
'Hourglass: Oh it feels so good! That kid's been brown-nosing since I left the military region, time to teach him a lesson!'
'Butterfly: Haven't bullied newbies in a long time, feels great!'
'Little Raindrop: Yeah, I'm the one getting bullied.'
'Hourglass: ???'
'Butterfly: ???'
'Ice Eyes: ???'
'Little Raindrop: Big Bro didn't even untie the ropes yet, I had just taken off the blindfold and she sent me flying out of the plane with a kick before I even reacted.'
The group burst into laughter. This sudden task was too much for ordinary newbies. Only the top recruits from each military region would dare to do this. But it was still passive on their part.
Who knew with Teng Shihai here, Nan XiangWan was so fierce!
A group of people laughed until the screen was flooded.
'Little Raindrop: Go ahead and laugh. There'll come a day you get what's coming!'
After saying this he put away his phone. Nan XiangWan wasn't his sole responsibility anyway. It was just that in the beginning, because they were from the same military region, they found acquaintances from each military region to lead the new top recruits from those 27 military regions.
But in the days to come, temporary commanders would be randomly assigned!
...
Cang Hai had strong adaptability. Arriving near the mission location at 10am, he quickly screened and selected a hot pot restaurant in a hutong alley as his temporary residence.
Not yet open this early, he was already knocking on the door.
Well-mannered with good attitude and behavior, speaking fluent Beijing dialect off the cuff, he smoothly found a two-day temporary job there.
Meals provided, lodging not provided. The job was to wash dishes and clean.
Cang Hai said he had come to study, would leave after reporting on the 6th in two days.
The hot pot restaurant owner saw he looked decent and didn't seem like a scammer, so agreed to let him stay temporarily for two days. It was a busy season for students coming to the Imperial Capital to study recently anyway, and the hot pot restaurant business was a bit overwhelmed.
At this time the kitchen was preparing in the back, the boss and other servers were checking the books at the front desk. They would open on time at 11am.
And so, Cang Hai started cleaning work, sweeping the floor and washing dishes in the backyard of the siheyuan.
But just 5 minutes after he started, his ears twitched and he looked up at the fence wall of the siheyuan courtyard.
Someone was sitting cross-legged up there, on the fence wall where the tech sensors could electrocute you at any moment. That person sat there motionless.
The two locked eyes, staring at each other, sinking into a bizarre silence for a moment.
In the hollow yard, the parrot raised by the hot pot owner was chattering away, and next to it a mynah bird was talking.
The red scarf on Nan XiangWan's chest fluttered in the wind!
