Chapter 801 The Plan (Part 1)
"It's going to be this intense right from the start, be careful not to overdo it."

"This batch seems to have a good foundation, and there are a few decent ones. What nonsense are you talking about? Untrained seedlings are all like this. We weren't much better back then."

"But that's too stupid. Just a slight hook and their rhythm is completely disrupted. If they keep going like this, they won't even know how they lost in the end."

"The individual combat team seems to lack motivation; they're still strolling around leisurely. This won't do."

"Kids are really easy to fool. They were fooled so easily. If they had this kind of personality on the battlefield, they probably wouldn't even pass the evaluation period."

Although the fight inside was fierce, it was actually like child's play to the adults outside. After all, real battlefield combat is nothing like this kind of small-scale fighting; it is a death road paved with real blood.

Therefore, the students' current "battle of wits" seemed like complete chaos to the instructors, utterly disorganized and no different from children playing house. However, it is often this kind of chaos that reveals people's abilities and potential, which is why these busy people were willing to spend time watching this "playing house" game.

Of course, these soldiers, accustomed to real gunfire and bloodshed, didn't see anything particularly impressive. Instead, they spotted a bunch of hot-headed, naive young fools—a common problem among inexperienced young men just starting out.

"Is this really okay? Many of us aren't even at the transition assessment stage yet, are we?" He Sui asked the person next to him, seemingly bored.

"This is considered a transitional period for our special transfer back. They say it's a direct accumulation period, and once it's officially scheduled, the time can be reduced on that basis. So stop complaining; this trip wasn't a complete waste." Wales kept his eyes straight ahead, taking in several images with great attention.

"That's pretty much it."

"Did you even read the announcement? I bet you barely listened to a word. Anyway, this is just a short-term mission, you won't be here for long. Just treat it as an intermission." Wales pressed his temples, looking rather annoyed.

"Rest? Look at these idiots inside, how many of them are even worth looking at? It's good enough if we don't have to worry about them." He Sui scoffed, which was tantamount to acknowledging the temporary commander's arrangement.

Suddenly, Wales raised an eyebrow and said meaningfully, "Speaking of which, that little guy who came with us seems to have been assigned to your team. I looked through his file, and he seems to be a... very interesting little guy."

"It's just a bean sprout." The young man seemed indifferent and didn't care much.

"That child isn't as weak as he looks. Be careful not to misjudge him." Wales looked down at a projection screen in the lower row, his eyes suddenly deepening, as if he had seen something interesting.

Completing the task consists of two hard requirements: one is having a sufficient number of teammates with consecutive numbers, and the other is arriving at the finish line on time with the former within the time limit.

Therefore, Jiang Hui's goal was very clear from the beginning: to get the qualified people to the destination as quickly as possible. So all the entanglements and outsiders in the process were factors that held them back.

Replenishing the numbers is relatively easy; the problem lies in the resistance and obstacles we might encounter along the way.

Others wouldn't let them pass so easily, which sealed their opposing stance. How could they minimize the resistance, or rather, how could they minimize their enemies?
—Let us become a community with shared interests.

"In addition to filling the gaps in the team's personnel, we also recruit new members who are willing to join the team as auxiliary teams—regardless of whether their serial numbers are duplicated."

"Duplicate personnel are reassigned and regrouped into subordinate teams, and so on."

"Members of this team and members of affiliated teams cooperate with each other, and if their philosophies differ, they can agree to leave."

"Subsidiary teams do not accept members whose serial numbers are among the first three positive numbers or the last three negative numbers."

"."

Jiang Hui's approach directly established a recruitment system for the team, which can be summarized as recruiting anyone they see and turning them into their teammates. Once they have recruited a certain number of people, their enemies will be minimized.

This seems crazy because these recruits are completely uncontrollable; as auxiliary teams, they have no shared interests with the main team. And even if they manage to stay, how can we be sure they won't betray us?

It was a completely irrational act—to be honest, even Clarence didn't quite understand it at first. However, out of trust for his friend, he didn't betray her, but silently stayed behind her, ready to protect her at any time, intending to cover for her.

But he soon discovered that Jiang Hui's decision had been implemented incredibly smoothly, without any major problems.

It's obvious that the journey ahead won't be smooth sailing. There will be many enemies who will immediately turn on you with swords drawn. In order to avoid disrupting the already unstable balance of the team, if you can't subdue Jiang Hui after a fierce battle, you won't hesitate to manually eliminate them all.

Their primary task was, of course, to find the missing serial numbers for their team, but this still depended on luck; after walking for a while, they had only filled in three blanks. However, they did collect quite a few duplicate serial numbers, all of which were "assigned" to auxiliary teams. This resulted in the entire team appearing to be a mixed bag, looking like a large, imposing group from a distance alongside the main team.

Although they appear to have a large and powerful force, this is clearly an extremely unstable structure. Because, apart from the main team, the various affiliated teams with different numbers of duplicate serial numbers have no vested interests, they could easily betray them or even stab Jiang Hui and his group in the back.

While Clarence shared a similar idea with Jiang Hui—wanting to recruit temporary staff—he wasn't as bold as Jiang Hui in openly and completely removing restrictions on recruiting members.

She even added more than a dozen "incorporation" rules in a short period of time to standardize the team.
Under the constraints of these seemingly rigid and somewhat absurdly strict "rules" set on short notice, these members of the auxiliary team, who were forcibly recruited after just a few meetings, were actually bound and attached to Jiang Hui's team.

Doubt, speculation, a sense of detachment yet trust, relief, and an inescapable feeling of belonging.

The group moved toward their destination in a strange balance, sweeping through their path with a speed that was imperceptible to those around them.

No one knows how long this balance can last. She only needs to achieve her goal—before the balance she has designed collapses.
