649: They traded the coach for the stolen supplies.

Xiao Niannian watched the Team Members and swiped their military canteens and food.

"Someone is here."

A Team Member heard movement and woke up, only to see several masked figures in black carrying things.

They immediately began fighting the black-clad Instructors.

The other Team Members woke up and joined the fight against the Instructors.

"Oh no, they've taken our canteens and food!"

"Quick, get them back!"

Although they started scrambling to retrieve their canteens and food upon realizing what happened, half of them had already been taken.

"Put our things down!"

The Female Team Members whose canteens and supplies had been stolen chased after them desperately.

However, they stepped on traps; some were surrounded by nets, while others were hung upside down by their feet with ropes.

"Ah!"

"There are traps!"

Several Instructors ran away quickly.

The same situation occurred in the other two squads.

Meng Ning and Lin Shi were in the same squad. After realizing something was wrong, they immediately started fighting the Instructors.

Meng Ning, Lin Shi, and Gao Yao managed to capture an Instructor, who struggled against them.

"Your man has been captured by us. Bring our things to trade for him. If you don't trade, we'll keep him tied up…" Meng Ning said loudly.

After being captured by the three, the Instructor felt deeply annoyed. If he had been more careful, he wouldn't have been caught.

Being caught this time meant he would definitely be severely punished once training ended.

Xiao Niannian stood not far away, listening to Meng Ning's words, and she started to smile.

"Return the supplies to them. On the way back, use Smoke Grenades, flashbangs, and tear gas to create a diversion, rescue the man, and take back the supplies…"

Hearing Captain Xiao's words, the Instructors immediately agreed.

Meng Ning and Gao Yao were waiting for the Instructors to return the supplies. When they saw the Instructors appear, smiles appeared on their faces.

Just as they were about to step forward to receive the supplies, some objects flew in from not far away.

"Careful!"

"They threw Smoke Grenades!"

Meng Ning shouted, wanting to drag the captured Instructor backward, but the captured Instructor was already struggling to break free.

Several other Instructors also snuck over and, taking advantage of the smoke, rescued their man.

"Cough, cough."

Meng Ning and Gao Yao retreated several steps until they reached a safe area.

"They are too ruthless, using even Smoke Grenades, flashbangs, and tear gas."

"I didn't expect the Instructors to use such tactics."

Meng Ning looked at several Team Members and said,

"They can steal from us, so we can steal from them too."

Hearing Meng Ning's words, several Team Members looked eager to try.

Yes, why hadn't they thought of that? Since the Instructors were stealing from them, they could also wait until the Instructors were asleep and steal from them.

However, they had to be careful; those Instructors might still be waiting in ambush somewhere.

Xiao Niannian heard their conversation from afar and looked at the Instructors, but she did not warn them.

Although this was an assessment for the Womens Team, it was also an assessment for the Instructors.

She was very pleased that Meng Ning and Gao Yao had this kind of mindset.

The Instructors returned to their camp with half of the supplies and were very happy.

"We snatched four canteens, two bags of grain, and four pieces of dry rations…"

They were tallying the supplies.

"Tomorrow, this squad will definitely go to the seaside to catch fish. If they get into the water, we'll take the supplies on the shore."

The Instructors were discussing how to deal with these Team Members tomorrow.

"We know how to spear fish, but they probably don't. However, everyone has diving goggles and an iron rod in their backpacks, so maybe they'll think of making fish spears…"

"Tomorrow, they will definitely use seawater to make fresh water first…"

"It's getting late. Let's leave two people on guard and the rest of us will rest. If we sleep well tonight, we'll go and raid them again…"

Xiao Niannian found a big tree, tied it up with branches and ropes, and fell asleep on the tree.

After a while, she heard the sound of fighting coming from below.

She opened her eyes and saw that it was Meng Ning and the others who had come to attack, fighting the Instructors and trying to snatch the supplies from their hands.

"Shh."

A whistle blew sharply; this was the signal for Meng Ning and the others to retreat.

Although Meng Ning and the others' martial arts skills were not as good as these Instructors, they were more agile. Running around in the mountains, they managed to grab a few fish and a backpack.

The Instructor whose backpack had been stolen immediately chased after them.

After a few rounds of fighting, the backpack was snatched back.

Watching these Female Team Members disappear, the Instructors laughed.

"The people in this squad are quite bold; they actually dared to come and rob the Instructors."

"This is what happens when you don't take the beaten path. We can rob them, and they can come and rob us Instructors too."

"Although we robbed a few of their canteens, they snatched four fish from us."

Xiao Niannian heard their discussion and slid down to the ground using a rope.

"How does it feel to be ambushed?"

"Report to Captain Xiao, although their combat effectiveness is not as good as ours, they are very cunning and have tactics…"

"This incident tells us that we must not underestimate the enemy…"

These Instructors were summarizing their experience.

"Good. You lost four fish tonight, so you will make up for it with forty tomorrow. If you get ambushed successfully by them again, for every item you lose, you will compensate with ten."

Hearing Captain Xiao's words, the smiles on the Instructors' faces disappeared.

"Yes."

"An assessment is a battlefield. It does not allow for joking around. If they were holding guns today, at least half of you would be casualties…"

"Report to Captain Xiao, we know we were wrong."

Several people immediately admitted their mistake.

"Go run three kilometers in the mountains."

"Yes."

Now, whenever Xiao Niannian gave an order, the Elite Member of the First Team would obey immediately.

"We were indeed careless today."

"It seems that in the future, we all need to be on guard against these Team Members. Maybe they will take the initiative to attack in the future."

After Meng Ning and the others returned to the camp, they immediately prepared to process and eat the fish.

"Start a fire and process these fish to eat. Starting tomorrow, they will definitely retaliate against us, and maybe they won't even let us sleep at night…"

"Squad Leader Meng is right. Let's process and eat the fish now. After we wake up tomorrow, we will definitely have to go into the sea to catch fish."

"I checked our supplies today. There are diving goggles and a long iron rod inside. I've seen the fish spears made by fishermen at the seaside…"

"Tomorrow, we'll make a simple version too, and then go into the sea to catch fish…"

"Okay."

A few months ago, they had to help the cafeteria kill fish every few days. Now, the Womens Team Members were skilled at cleaning fish.

These sea fish were processed quickly.

After the fire started, half the fish were grilled and half were boiled.

"It smells so good."
