During lunchtime, Jiang Xiaoyu started to lie about how Zhang Yimou had taken a fancy to him in his childhood. His comrades were all stunned. Zhao Chen could not help but admire his mouth for spouting nonsense.
That afternoon, the dozens of soldiers from the beast battalion who participated in the selection took a bus to the so-called filming base.
When they arrived at the scene, the other soldiers of the Marine Corps had already arrived. The scene was extremely lively. There were hundreds of people, but even veterans like Xiang Yu and Ba Lang did not know that this was an audition for the Mars Scout Competition. This was because every Scout Competition, the Marine Corps would choose a different method. This year was relatively new, so they directly invited the crew to cooperate.
As soon as Zhao Chen got out of the car, he realized that many unfriendly eyes were staring at him. The Marine Corps was actually not that big. Because of the incident at Pipa Island, Zhao Chen had become a celebrity in the Marine Corps. Many people admired Zhao Chen, but there were also some who were not convinced. They thought that their strength was not inferior to Zhao Chen's. If it were them, they could do the same.
Of course, Zhao Chen didn't care about their opinions at all. The difference between them was too great.
"See that shorty over there?”Lu Yan said in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.
"That kid's name is Yan Dong. I've seen him in the military newspaper. Before he joined the army, he was the successor of the 17th generation Iron Palm.”Lu Yan said.
"It's just a brick. Who in the Marine Corps doesn't know how to do it? This kind of person is often eliminated in the first round.”Zhao Chen said with a smile.
He was familiar with the plot, so he naturally knew that this guy was eliminated during the night attack. Because he was not convinced, he challenged Wu Gang. In the end, Wu Gang did not even use his hands to beat him up. It was obvious that his strength was not that good. Or rather, there were too many experts in the Marine Corps. He might look like an expert outside, but it was not necessarily the case in the Marine Corps. Ah Gan was also a boxing champion, but once he entered the army, he realized that his three-legged martial arts were just superficial.
"Platoon leader, look who's over there.”At this moment, Balang saw a sharp gaze from the crowd looking at them.
Xiang Yu also noticed the owner of the gaze and said,"I didn't expect him to come too."
"Platoon leader, who is this person?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked curiously.
"Water ghost." Xiang Yu said.
"He and the platoon leader are old acquaintances.”Ba Lang said. Back in the Scout All-Around Competition, Water Ghost Zhao Ziwu was suppressed by Xiang Yu in every event, so he was very hostile to Xiang Yu. He had been training hard all this time, wanting to defeat Xiang Yu.
"I don't care who he is. I'll still cut him down if he shows off to me.”Zhang Chong sneered. In the entire Marine Corps, he didn't think that he would lose to anyone except Zhao Chen. He didn't even think that he would lose to Xiang Yu.
"You? That water ghost can kill you with its eyes closed.”Ba Lang said.
"Just help him brag. He's a water ghost. I'll make him die.”Zhang Chong said.
Zhao Ziwu glanced at Xiang Yu with a sneer in his eyes and then walked away. At this moment, Director Song walked out and said,"Everyone, please be quiet. Now that most of us have arrived, I will introduce some of the work that we will be doing next. From tomorrow onwards, Micron will be conducting some simple training for everyone. Our director will choose the right candidate according to the needs of the role.”
It had to be said that the crew members were quite dedicated. The next morning, the soldiers began to perform. In an instant, many soldiers who loved to show off began to show off their unique skills, such as hard qigong and breaking rocks in the chest.
"Brother Chen, why do I feel that something is wrong?”Jiang Xiaoyu whispered in the cafeteria.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Chen asked.
"We're talking about filming a movie, but why isn't there a single camera? There's not even an actress. Does this look like a movie? And these people are all coming at us aggressively. It's more like choosing the suicide squad." Jiang Xiaoyu said.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but admire Jiang Xiaoyu's observation skills. He smiled and said,""You guessed right."
"What is it? Are you really choosing the suicide squad?" Jiang Xiaoyu said in surprise.
"Shh, can't you keep your voice down?" Zhao Chen said and whispered a few words into his ear.
Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes instantly widened as she said,"Brother Chen, is what you said true?"
"Anyway, just don't sleep too hard at night. Don't be afraid that someone will slit your neck in the middle of the night.”Zhao Chen said. He did not directly say that it was the Marzu Selection, but Jiang Xiaoyu had guessed it correctly.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen." Jiang Xiaoyu also became serious.
At two o'clock in the morning, most of the soldiers were already fast asleep. After two days of relaxation, their vigilance had dropped to the lowest. Suddenly, a few smoke grenades were thrown into Zhao Chen's dormitory. Zhao Chen reacted immediately and threw the smoke grenades out.
A few of his comrades in the dormitory also woke up. At this moment, more than a dozen men in black wearing gas masks and holding sticks broke in. As soon as they came in, they waved their sticks at Zhao Chen and the others.
Zhao Chen instantly dodged and knocked out one of the men in black with a hand knife. He snatched the staff. Although the room was small, Zhao Chen was as agile as a loach. In the blink of an eye, he had taken down four or five men in black. Most of the people in the dormitory were comrades from the beast battalion. With Zhao Chen's lead, the few of them quickly took down more than ten men in black.
Footsteps could be heard from outside. More and more men in black rushed over. Zhao Chen and the others followed suit. The men in black saw how powerful Zhao Chen and the others were and immediately targeted the other warriors.
After a while, the broadcast sounded."Attention, everyone. The people in the dormitory will come out immediately and gather in the open space in front.”
When they arrived at the empty space, there were already more than ten warriors standing there with swollen faces. They were all caught by the men in black.
"Good evening, everyone. First of all, I would like to congratulate all of you for passing the first round of elimination. All of you have been deceived. I gathered all of you here not to choose actors, nor to shoot some documentary. There is only one purpose, and that is to choose people for this year's Mars International Scout Competition.”Long Baichuan said through the microphone.
"Mars, it's Mars."
Upon hearing Mars 'name, the warriors could not help but get excited. They did not expect such a thing to happen in this year's selection.
"The people standing on my right hand, you are eliminated.”" There will be a car to send you off tomorrow morning," Long Baichuan said." I wish you a safe journey."”
"This isn't fair."
"Yes, this is unfair."
The dozen or so warriors who had been eliminated immediately started to cheer. The one leading them was none other than the Iron Palm's successor, Yan Dong, whom Lu Yan had mentioned earlier. When Jiang Xiaoyu saw that it was Yan Dong, she could not help but look at Zhao Chen with a strange gaze. Zhao Chen had previously said that such a person would be the first to be eliminated. She did not expect Zhao Chen to be right.
Wu Gang jumped down from the military vehicle and walked to the front of the eliminated soldiers and said,"Shut up."
"Tell me, what kind of fairness do you want?”
"At the very least, it's a real contest, and not a despicable method to deprive us of the right to go to Mars and serve our country.”said Yan Dong.
"Yes, to serve the country. We want to go to Mars and have a fair fight.”The soldiers behind him started to cheer.
"Very good. I'll give you this chance now.”Wu Gang waved at Yan Dong and said.
Then, he looked at Zhao Chen and said,""Zhao Chen."
Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment before replying,""Yes."
"Pick a task. If you can beat him, you and the 18 people can stay.”Wu Gang pointed at Zhao Chen and said to Yan Dong.
"F * ck, isn't this drawing hatred for me?”Zhao Chen cursed in his heart. He could have taken care of Wugang himself, but he had to do it. However, he had no choice. Since he had already said it, he could only do as he was told.
Yan Dong looked at Zhao Chen with disdain in his eyes. Although he had heard of Zhao Chen's name, he was still very confident in his own skills. He did not think that Zhao Chen could defeat him at all. He immediately said,"Then let's fight."
Wu Gang sneered and winked at Zhao Chen. Then, he looked at Yan Dong and said,""If you are still standing on the ground within five minutes, you win.”
