589: I'm waiting for you at the special forces unit.

In the following days of assessment, thirty people were selected out of more than a hundred.

Upon hearing the list of successful candidates, the selected female soldiers cheered, while those who weren't selected felt a bit sad.

"I will train harder, and I will definitely be selected next year."

"Me too, I'll definitely be successfully selected next year."

Xiao Niannian listened to their words and encouraged them.

"I'll be waiting for you at the Special Forces Brigade."

On the male soldiers' side, one hundred were selected.

A total of three hundred male soldiers would be selected, but after three months, about two hundred would be eliminated, and of the remaining hundred, some would also be eliminated after one year.

After a year, they would become regular Team Members.

Meanwhile, Meng Ning, Gao Yao, and others were also preparing for their exams these days. After the exams in three days, Shen Yan would lead them to the Special Forces Brigade by train.

Three days later, Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing took the selected Team Members back to the training base by car.

Upon first seeing the training base, many Team Members were shocked.

"Oh my gosh, this training base is much larger than our Division Headquarters."

"The equipment here is so complete."

"The grounds here are so vast."

"They are training right now."

After walking for more than ten minutes, they realized they still hadn't reached their destination.

"We just passed several training grounds. Were those not our training grounds?"

"Does our Womens Team have a dedicated training ground?"

Xiao Niannian led them for a while longer until they reached the Womens Team's exclusive training ground, where they saw the Womens Team Members currently training.

"Are they practicing combat grappling?"

"Falling to the ground like that must hurt a lot, right?"

Xiao Niannian listened to their discussions and led the Team Members forward.

"Assemble!"

The newly selected Team Members immediately ran over.

"These are the newly selected Team Members. For the next few months, they will fight alongside you... Let's give them a round of applause."

The first batch of selected Team Members applauded vigorously upon seeing the new Team Members.

"Great, new Team Members are here, so we won't be suffering alone anymore."

"We'll have new teammates for mud pit combat training again."

"Maybe we'll be the ones training them then."

"Just thinking about it makes me happy."

Some Team Members whispered among themselves. They were exhausted from daily training, but the thought of new Team Members arriving and being just as tired as them instantly brought a sense of balance to their hearts.

"Feng Lin, Li Le, Xu Jia."

"Present!"

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, they immediately stepped forward.

"The three of you will show them around here and get them settled..."

"Yes, Captain."

After hearing Xiao Niannian's command, the three immediately agreed.

"Everyone else, continue training."

Xiao Niannian returned to her dormitory, quickly washed up, and then slept.

When she woke up, it was more than an hour later. Xiao Niannian went to the dormitory.

She saw that the Team Members were already settled, and some were chatting in the dormitory.

"I can't believe the Special Forces Brigade's Womens Team also has a training ground, and it's as big as the training grounds of the other three teams. I heard our training ground is the newest in the entire Special Forces Brigade..."

"The conditions here are even better than in our Division Headquarters."

"I thought the Special Forces Brigade would have very tough conditions."

"I never thought I'd one day be able to join the Special Forces Brigade."

"I heard the elimination rate is 80%, so we really need to work hard in the future."

Xiao Niannian walked into the dormitory. Those who saw Xiao Niannian immediately stood up and saluted.

"Captain Xiao."

Xiao Niannian returned a military salute.

She looked at them and asked,

"Are you all settled? You can raise any questions you have."

Hearing Captain Xiao's words, several new Team Members shook their heads.

"We have no problems."

"Report, we are all settled."

"It's excellent here."

This Special Forces Brigade was much better than they had imagined. After they arrived, they even received two new military uniforms, all their daily necessities were new, and their allowances were several yuan more per month than in their original Military Unit. They heard that once they became official Team Members, their allowances would be even higher.

Moreover, there would be subsidies for missions.

The food in the cafeteria was also excellent; according to the previous batch of Team Members, they had three dishes and one soup for lunch and dinner here.

Xiao Niannian walked through all three dormitories, carefully checking on the Team Members' situations.

The daily schedule was posted in the rooms, and each room had a large clock.

"It's getting late, you can rest early. Starting today, you might be called for assembly at any time, 24 hours a day..."

Hearing 'assembly at any time,' many new Team Members were surprised.

Is it that harsh?

Will they be called for assembly even in the early hours of the morning?

It's unimaginable to be woken up by a whistle after an hour of sleep for assembly, then go to train... At night, many people were sound asleep.

Xiao Niannian appeared in front of the dormitory building and blew the assembly whistle.

The first batch of Team Members had already gotten used to it over the past month, so they immediately got dressed and ran out.

However, the newly arrived Team Members were stunned upon hearing the whistle.

Meng Ning and Gao Yao were incredibly fast.

Shen Yan had told them that in the Special Forces Brigade, if you couldn't reach the training ground within three minutes, you would be punished.

So they had practiced many times.

Seeing Meng Ning, Gao Yao, and Lin Shi running quickly, Xiao Niannian nodded in satisfaction.

The other Team Members also ran out one after another.

"First Team, report headcount."

"One, two..."

All thirty-nine members of the Womens Team's First Team arrived within three minutes.

As for the Second Team, except for six who arrived within three minutes, the rest arrived within five minutes.

"In our Special Forces Brigade, the assembly time is within three minutes. Exceeding three minutes is a failure. Both First Team and Second Team will be punished together. Everyone will run three kilometers..."

Hearing Xiao Niannian punish them with a three-kilometer run, everyone started running.

The members of the Womens Team's First Team had already learned over the past month that military orders were absolute; no matter what the Instructor said, they would obey.

After being punished with a three-kilometer run, many members of the Womens Team's Second Team stood there panting.

"I can't believe on my first day in the Special Forces Brigade, I'm already being punished with a three-kilometer run."

"At first, I thought Instructor Xiao was so kind, but now I know how strict she is."

"Oh my gosh, we won't be punished with a three-kilometer run every day, will we?"

"I can imagine how busy our future days will be."

Xiao Niannian looked at them, checked her watch, and said,

"Our standard in the Special Forces Brigade for an excellent five-kilometer run is within eighteen minutes. I hope you all work harder and everyone can achieve excellence..."

What?

In their original Military Units, around twenty minutes was considered excellent, but the Special Forces Brigade's standard was eighteen minutes?

"Also, I need to tell you some rules..."
