<h4>Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Quagmire Training</h4>


    The bus ride was fraught with a suppressive atmosphere.


    About an hourter, they arrived at the simtion training base.


    Fu Sichen gave them no time to rest and immediately organized them into formation beside a mud pit.


    !!!!


    Everyone was somewhat stunned.


    Including theizens in the live broadcast room—


    [Is the program team going too far?]


    [Are they really making them roll in the mud pit?]


    [I feel like today Captain Fu and Squad Leader Lin are super scary with extremely low pressure.]


    [+1+1 They’re not usually like this, but their training today really jumped in difficulty]


    [I’m already feeling sorry for them]


    ...


    Fu Sichen nced at today’s exceptionally orderly squad: "Over the past two days, we simted wilderness survival, but that was a rtively rxed experience under the guidance of instructors, even enjoying yourselves from yesterday afternoon until this morning."


    "I don’t want to talk too much about the individual sense of time, with hearts so easily scattered. Is this really the result of your training during this time? Huh?"


    Everyone hung their heads and didn’t dare meet Fu Sichen’s gaze.


    "Speak up!"


    "No!"


    "Louder! I didn’t hear you!"


    "No!"


    "Good! Since you’ve had an outdoor experience, let’s take on a bigger challenge today."


    Fu Sichen pointed to the vast mud pit behind him, filthy, even containing some unknown things.


    "Today, you will crawl back and forth through the mud pit, first to train your physical strength, and second, to build unity and cohesion. Do you see the big logs inside there? Push them forward together, and everyone must give it their all."


    "If you can’t persist, I wee you to withdraw at any time. Not to rest, but to leave the program immediately. Do you understand?"


    "Understood!"


    [OMG! They are seriously ying for keeps! It’s too intense!]


    [Holy crap! Just for this, I’m going to keep watching. It’s so tough, and you really need to be unburdened to participate.]


    [That log looks really heavy, just going back and forth once seems like it would cost half a life]


    [Harsh is really harsh, no wonder nobody wants toe.]


    [Mainly because there’s elimination it’s really harsh. If you can’t hang in there, you have to leave my mom wow]


    Because of this scene, the heat in the live broadcast room surged again and again, reaching new heights.


    Even at times, due to too many viewers, there were issues with the live streamgging.


    "All present, turn left, march in step!"


    Xie Shuanghao, leading the way, was the first to enter the mud pit, where soon the force of the mud made it exceedingly difficult to move.


    Following him were Wei Zhouchen and Wu Jun. The staff kept a close watch on the three women behind, their hearts hanging in suspense.


    Jiang Mian stood behind Wu Jun. She was the first one to step into the mud pit without any hesitation, followed by Yu Xinting who paused for two seconds before biting the bullet and going down as well.


    Xiang Mo hesitated for a long time.


    "Xiang Mo, what are you hesitating for!"


    "I... I’m scared!"


    "I’ll give you five seconds. If you don’t go down, then don’t go down at all."


    "Five!"


    Jiang Mian reached out toward Xiang Mo: "It’s okay, it’s not too bad, it won’t be very deep, we’re all down here."


    "Four!"


    "Three!"


    "Xiang Mo! Come on down, really, it’s fine! We’re all here!"


    The line of people came forward to form a circle.


    "Two!"


    Xiang Mo, with her eyes closed, gritted her teeth and stepped into the mud pit.


    All six people had now entered the mud pit.


    "Line up in a row! Lift up the log!"


    They lined up as they had entered the mud pit, and Jiang Mian interjected: "Report! Can we adjust the team?"


    Fu Sichen looked at Jiang Mian: "You may."


    "Let’s alternate men and women in the line. Otherwise, unequal strength distribution can easily cause problems."


    "One man at each end, Wei Zhouchen, you and Teacher Wu Jun at the ends, Xie Shuanghao in the middle. For the women, one on each side and two on one side."


    After they adjusted their positions, Fu Sichen’s brows slightly moved: "Ready?"


    "Ready!"


    "Half prone position ready! Forward! One minute for a round trip! If you can’t do it, continue until you meet the standard!"


    Fu Sichen turned to Lin Chuan beside him: "Lin Chuan, grab that bucket of water over there and pour it in."


    "Yes! Captain Fu!"


    Director Xu whispered to the staff beside him: "Aside from the military doctor over there, make sure the ambnce is ready."


    They truly hadn’t anticipated that the training in Fu Sichen’s second recording would be so intense.


    Ordinary people simply couldn’t bear it, let alone a few delicate actors and stars.


    No one at the scene said a word, silently observing everything in front of them, their expressions exceptionally tense.


    "The preparations have been made and ready."
