2978 A Little Troublesome As for the price of comfort, the military officer didn’t mention it. This was their captain and her goal. She smiled and shook her head. “Thank you for your kindness. I don’t need it.” The military officer wanted to say a few more words, but T6 stood up. His delicate baby face was covered in paint, and his eyes were shining like wolves. He said to the military officer, “Brother, you should save your hot dog and milk for yourself. We and our female soldier don’t need them, thank you.” They would have to pay a high price for this comfort. When they saw the items in the hands of the referee and the military officer, the Chinese participants were on their guard. Then, they listened to their abnormal words. Although they were ordinary, saying such words at such a time was undoubtedly a psychological tactic. The other party was using their team members’ hunger and fatigue to destroy their psychological shields and achieve their goal. Psychological tactics were also a combat tactic. There was no smoke or fire, and it was done silently. In order to win, not only did they have to undergo physical tests, but they also had to undergo mental training. They also needed to survive life-and-death situations. They had to combine courage and strategy to challenge the limits of physiology, intelligence, and technology. Finally, they had to reach the finish line with outstanding results. And along the way, even if there was little rest, there would always be unpredictable dangers. Just like now, the military officer who handed over the hot milk and hot dogs looked at the only female soldier of China and blocked T6’s interference. He smiled and said what they would say to the special forces soldiers from all over the world, “As long as you nod now, the hot milk and hot dogs in my hand will belong to you.” Ye Jian didn’t nod. She just rejected him firmly. Five minutes had passed. The referee and the military officer took three steps back. This time, the smiles on their faces were much more sincere. “Congratulations on passing a small test and successfully arriving at five checkpoints. Congratulations on becoming the first team to arrive at this control station. Good luck, Chinese soldiers.” … After the referee finished speaking, the faces of the Chinese special forces soldiers turned a little dark. Five points would be deducted from a cup of milk or hot dog! F*ck! Their score would be so easily deducted! It was not easy to win five points! They successfully resisted the temptation and managed to retain five points. In the Eka Assault competition, more points were deducted than the points they won. The Italian special forces soldiers told China that there was a country’s special forces team in the past that received a negative score after the competition ended. What was even more ridiculous was that they didn’t know why their points were deducted. For instance, five points would be deducted from any food that was accepted from the referee or the military officer. Five points would be deducted if they asked the referee or the military officer for information. Also… if they took the towel handed over by the referee or the military officer, their points would be deducted. Xia Jinyuan and Li Jinnian didn’t like it when they heard that China was the first to reach their control station. They even frowned secretly. It didn’t match the low-key combat tactics they primarily learned. After the referee and the military officer left, Li Jinnian whispered to Xia Jinyuan, “We need to slow down our time or even out our score in other areas.”
