Chapter 1 The Final Test

Su Mo and the others followed Figel into a very spacious, enclosed room.

The entire room was empty. Everyone present wore puzzled expressions, completely unsure of what was about to happen.

At this point, there were still fifty people who hadn't been eliminated. It could be said that everyone who remained was an elite among elites.

However, what they didn't know was that Figel was once one of the most terrifying auditors in the E country. Very few people could pass his assessment.

Figel didn't beat around the bush. He simply said, "For the final test, we will leave this room and release ten flying-wing metal spheres. Whoever catches a flying-wing metal sphere and holds onto it until the end of the test wins. In other words, only ten of you can successfully join the GT Department."

"General, are there any restrictions on what methods we can use?"

Zhao Bo suddenly raised his head and asked.

"When we fight monsters, there are no rules. Now you are no longer comrades, and there are no rules either... Of course, intentional murder is strictly prohibited. In thirty minutes, I will open the sealed door. Whoever is still standing with a flying-wing metal sphere is the winner. Good luck!"

After speaking, Figel waved his hand and led his men out of the room.

This assessment seemed simple, but it was even more brutal. Catching the sphere was only part of it; the most difficult part was the infighting.

As soon as Figel and the others had completely left, gaps opened up in the smooth metal walls, and immediately, mechanical metal spheres with thin wings flew out.

Then, they scattered at high speed in no particular order.

The people in the room immediately rushed forward. Some went straight for the kill, kicking the person next to them to the ground, or delivering a chop to knock them out.

No one was willing to yield.

"Looking for death!"

"You're the one looking for death!"

"Those who don't want to die, get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite."

"Come on!"

....

Immediately, many people started fighting.

On the other hand, Su Mo stood still, showing no intention of snatching anything. He also noticed that the guy named Zhao Bo didn't try to grab a metal sphere either. Instead, he raised his right hand and looked at the time on his watch.

It seemed he had the same idea as Su Mo: wait until the end to make a move.

At this moment, Zhao Bo also noticed that Su Mo hadn't gone up to grab those metal spheres. He looked at Su Mo with some vigilance.

After the first two tests, no matter how arrogant he was, he wouldn't be foolish enough to think he was stronger than Su Mo.

There were no loopholes to exploit in the GT Department's violent test.

Zhao Bo decisively moved away from Su Mo. If he was targeted by this guy, he might really be eliminated.

Time passed.

More than twenty people were already lying on the ground, each beaten bloody, just short of dying.

Su Mo estimated that the time was about right. By now, all ten flying-wing metal spheres had been caught, not because they were difficult to catch.

It was just that everyone who made it to the third round was too outstanding.

Su Mo narrowed his eyes and immediately locked onto three burly men who were beating each other up. He rushed up at top speed.

Controlling his strength, he punched the burly man who had snatched the metal sphere.

The speed was so fast that the other party didn't even have time to react before taking a punch to the face.

Immediately, his teeth flew out, and he fell to the ground, losing his grip on the flying-wing metal sphere.

With quick hands and eyes, Su Mo reached out and grabbed the flying-wing metal sphere.

At this moment, the two burly men next to him flashed a fierce look in their eyes and, with great coordination, punched Su Mo in the chest at the same time.

Bang, bang!

Two powerful fists slammed into Su Mo.

But Su Mo stood still, without a single change in expression. On the contrary, the two who attacked Su Mo felt their fists were extremely painful.

They stared at Su Mo in horror.

Su Mo didn't hold back. Controlling his strength, he swept his leg out and kicked the two of them away.

At this time, one or two people who originally wanted to pick up a bargain saw this scene. They immediately slammed on the brakes, changed their targets, thinking that this guy was a tough nut to crack.

......

After a long time, the sealed door opened.

Su Mo, Zhao Bo, and the other ten stood straight, while the other forty were all lying on the ground, groaning in pain.

Figel looked at the ten selected people and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Congratulations, from today onwards, you are combat members of the GT Department. Based on your performance, I hereby announce, Su Mo!"

"Here!"

Su Mo replied in a deep voice.

"Your performance is the most outstanding. From now on, you are a lieutenant in the GT Department."

Figel announced in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Su Mo replied.

Hearing Figel's announcement, Zhao Bo's taut face twitched fiercely. He knew that in every selection, the most outstanding person had the opportunity to enter the GT Department as a lieutenant. This was an opportunity, and he originally thought he could win it with certainty, but in the end, he failed.

Don't underestimate that one-rank difference; the difference is huge. In future battles, the other party would be the captain of a squad, while they could only be team members.

Also, the GT Department's positions have the highest gold content, and the difficulty of promotion is also the highest.

If you want to be promoted, in addition to specific opportunities, there is only one path to take, and that is military merit!

"The rest of you are all second lieutenants!"

Figel's eyes swept over the crowd and he said.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded one after another.

Figel turned his head and said to the adjutant behind him, "Powa, take them to complete the entry procedures."

"Understood."

Powa replied in a deep voice.

Figel then left with his men. He still had to prepare for the next batch of personnel's assessment, and the content of the assessment had to be changed.

In fact, the GT Department's combat personnel suffered significant losses in the previous Thief Plan and urgently needed to replenish elite personnel.

However, Figel's attitude was very clear: he would rather have fewer than compromise. Especially after the negative energy virus incident was exposed, his requirements became even more stringent.

In his eyes, if a soldier retreats at a critical moment in battle, it will be a disastrous consequence. It could lead to his own death, or even the annihilation of the entire team. In more serious cases, it could even affect the success or failure of the entire war.

At this time, Su Mo and the others followed Powa towards the interior of the GT Department.

Powa considerately introduced to everyone, "Let me introduce to you the combat organization of the GT Department. It is roughly divided into three parts: formal members, substitute members, and reserve members. First of all, the formal members are the strongest in the GT Department. They pilot the IV-generation biological mecha. As for how terrifying the IV-generation biological mecha is, I don't need to say more, right? I believe most of you have seen the relevant battle videos, or even witnessed it with your own eyes."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes showed admiration.

"Officer, will we have the opportunity to pilot the IV-generation biological mecha?"

Zhao Bo asked excitedly.

"That depends on your ability, it's not completely impossible. You are now the lowest-level reserve members. As long as you perform well enough, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to substitute members. At that point, you will have a slight chance to touch the IV-generation biological mecha. Work hard."

"Yes, officer."

Zhao Bo and the others responded excitedly.

On the other hand, Su Mo looked calm. Although the IV-generation biological mecha was also very attractive to him, he was in no mood to think about it right now.

He was currently thinking about how to find Qian Chengxue within the GT Department.

This GT Department seemed to be even larger than he had imagined.

Su Mo looked around. The entire GT Department was like an independent small kingdom, with Generation I mecha Iron Guards everywhere.

Powa continued to popularize some precautions to everyone.

"You need to pay attention to one thing while serving in the GT Department. As the Federation's highest combat organization, it has countless highly confidential secrets. Therefore, the internal areas are not open to reserve members. Don't rashly break into them or deliberately try to test them, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. You might even be arrested..."

"Then officer, what level do we need to reach to enter the interior?"

"At least a substitute member."

......

An hour later, Su Mo followed Powa to complete the entry procedures and update his identity card. At the same time, he also received two sets of military uniforms printed with the GT Department's emblem, a crossed gun and shield.

In addition, he was also assigned a standard Iron Guard mecha. Don't think that the Iron Guard seems to be ineffective.

But you should know that even with Colonel Xiao Wen's qualifications, he only received ten Generation I Iron Guard mecha. Normally speaking, Xiao Wen would have to pilot an Iron Guard.

It was only later that he purchased a Generation II Black Steel on credit.

Properly speaking, he was only re-assigned a Generation II mecha as part of this compensation.

So being able to be assigned an Iron Guard here is already remarkable.

In addition, Su Mo also received his basic salary form. He is now a lieutenant and can receive a reward of 3 star coins + 30,000 federal coins per month. This salary completely crushed the salaries of officers outside and was simply a high salary among high salaries.

He looked at the salary sheet as he walked towards his assigned dormitory.

Su Mo was actually quite satisfied with the GT Department's treatment. The only thing he couldn't quite get used to was that the GT Department's combat personnel dormitory was not a single room, but a standard four-person room.

This made Su Mo very puzzled. How could a department with such good treatment skimp on accommodation?

With confusion, Su Mo came to the door of the dormitory.

He swiped his identity card, and the door lock automatically opened.

Su Mo pushed open the door, and a very spacious room came into his view. It was a standard four-bedroom, two-living room structure.

The furniture inside was complete, and the decoration was very good.

"You are?"

At this time, a slightly wary voice sounded.

Su Mo turned his head to look and saw a young man with delicate features and a slightly thin body looking at him warily.

"Hello! My name is Su Mo, I'm a new recruit and I've just been assigned here."

Hearing Su Mo's introduction, the young man's expression softened slightly, and he responded.

"Hello! My name is Lin Yixuan."

At this time, a very interested voice sounded.

"Oh! A newcomer has arrived. He looks fair and clean. Could he be another one who got in through connections? I'm wondering when the GT Department has become a place for gilding."

A tall man with an arrogant look in his eyes walked out of the room wearing a vest. His exposed arms were all muscle.

"Li Fang, don't go too far."

Lin Yixuan said, his face turning green and red.

Wasn't this a disguised mockery of himself?

"Hey, don't quarrel. Everyone is a teammate. What's there to argue about? Just about enough."

At this time, another young man with a sleepy face walked out of another room.

"Zou Wei, it has nothing to do with you. Or are you trying to please this rich second generation?"

Li Fang didn't appreciate it at all.

Su Mo looked at this situation and also felt a little headache. It seemed that the relationship in this dormitory was not very harmonious.

"Okay, pretend I didn't say anything, but it's a bit unfair to target a new teammate as soon as he arrives."

Zou Wei turned to look at Su Mo.

"Hmph, look at this newcomer, his face is whiter than a woman's, and his appearance is more handsome than those young idols. Even with my eyes closed, I know that he is the same as that Lin Yixuan. He was stuffed in here through big connections. Originally, this wouldn't be my business, but living together is just annoying!"

Li Fang sized up Su Mo and mocked him unceremoniously.

Lin Yixuan's face turned pale with anger, but he couldn't refute it. In fact, he was not qualified to enter the GT Department.

He was completely forced in by his family. Although he kept working hard and training, his combat level in all aspects was really not good, so after he was stuffed into the GT Department, he mainly performed logistical tasks.

Su Mo coughed and said to Li Fang, "Sorry to interrupt, but you can't judge a person by their appearance. I was personally assessed by General Figel and joined the GT Department with excellent results. If you have any doubts, you can ask the General."

Although Su Mo had no obligation to explain to Li Fang, there was no need to make trouble for himself when he could explain it in one sentence.

Li Fang was stunned when he heard Su Mo say this.

"You came in through a proper assessment?"

"Yes, and my rank is lieutenant. Before joining the GT Department, I was a consultant for the 11th Brigade of the 3rd Army. I just completed the Thief Plan not long ago!"

Su Mo said calmly.

Hearing Su Mo's words, Li Fang saluted Su Mo.

"Sorry about that."

"It's nothing, I'm going back to my room to rest."

"Okay."

Li Fang put away his contempt and treated Su Mo normally. The reason why he hated those who got in through connections and incompetent relatives was because his former brothers died because of those idiots.

......

-----------------------------------------------------------

Black Yao, inside a separate room.

Mai Han, who was asleep, seemed to be having a nightmare. He was covered in sweat, and patches of pale skin involuntarily appeared on his face and body.

His face, with his eyes closed, was unusually twisted and hideous.

Then, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, panting heavily.

"Huff~ Huff~"

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Then, Mai Han walked to the wash basin in the bathroom. He turned on the faucet and kept cupping water to wash his face.

When he subconsciously raised his head, he inadvertently saw his appearance in the mirror.

He was immediately startled and took a step back in fear.

However, when he came back to his senses and looked carefully at himself in the mirror, everything returned to normal.

Mai Han breathed a sigh of relief.

Knock knock~

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Coming."

Mai Han walked towards the door and opened it.

He saw his adjutant, Gabu, respectfully saluting, and then asking with some concern, "General, you haven't been on duty for two days. Are you not feeling well?"

Mai Han said wearily, "Well, I'm not feeling well and I'm resting."

Gabu quickly replied, "General, would you like me to call a doctor?"

"No, I'm not that delicate. I'm almost recovered. Is there anything special?"

Mai Han replied faintly.

"It's like this, Lord Putmi came to you about our quota issue. The Thief Plan was very successful and yielded a lot of supplies and weapons, as well as many strange things."

Gabu explained.

Hearing Gabu's words, Mai Han, who was originally listless, inexplicably had a trace of bloodshot in his eyes, and then said.

"What's wrong with the quota issue?"

"Lord Putmi means that we can apply for whatever we want. But we can't get the inventory list of the material warehouse. That thing is top secret."

"I know."

Mai Han replied.

"Then General, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Gabu replied.

"Wait, Gabu."

Mai Han suddenly stopped Gabu.

Gabu was also slightly stunned, then stopped and looked at Mai Han in confusion.

"General, is there anything else?"

"There should be quite a few of our original troops who were split up and transferred to the First and Second Army Corps, right?"

"There are."

"Go and find out what the First and Second Army Corps plundered, the more details the better."

"General, what are we doing to find out about this?"

Gabu didn't quite understand.

A strange look flashed in Mai Han's eyes, and he showed a strange smile, then said to Gabu.

"Our Third Army Corps suffered heavy losses in this interception, and we didn't get any benefits ourselves. Whether we can recover in the future, this quota is crucial. So we need to carefully apply for the quota. Good steel should be used on the blade, so we need to find out what materials and weapons were obtained this time."

"Oh, I understand, General. You mean that this operation must have yielded a lot of good things. But the higher-ups are unwilling to give it to us, and we must find a way to fight for it."

"That's right!"

Mai Han himself didn't feel that his smile was a little discordant, giving people a creepy feeling. .

"Yes, General!"

Gabu replied without hesitation. As Mai Han's loyal subordinate, he naturally did not notice the abnormality of General Mai Han.

Then Gabu turned and left.

Mai Han stared at Gabu's leaving figure, his eyes flashed with a trace of red light, and his skin began to squirm inexplicably, with patches of white appearing.

.......

The next day, Su Mo got up early in the morning.

He changed his clothes and went out, only to find that the other three roommates had already left.

Su Mo glanced at the time on his phone. It was still early before work started. So diligent?

Then Su Mo didn't think much about it and set off.

Last night, he received a message from the GT Department that his work location from today onwards would be in the G12 area.

The specific work content was not explained, but he was told to go to the G12 area and report to a Lieutenant Korev. The other party would arrange the specific work.

Su Mo walked out of the dormitory and walked towards the G12 area, which was very lively along the way.

A large number of people were going to work, and a wave of people who were on duty at night were returning to rest.

The GT Department has a principle, that is, all positions are not allowed to have vacancy periods, and they are all on a 24-hour rotation system. Saturdays and Sundays can be rotated for one day off.

In order to ensure that the GT Department can respond to emergencies at any time and go to battle as soon as possible.

After a while, Su Mo took the elevator to the G12 area, which was a giant combat hangar.

He saw giant mecha parked inside, as well as various models of fighter jets, and various heavy weapons for combat.

Su Mo looked around curiously.

At this time, Su Mo saw a familiar figure in the distance. Wasn't that Zhao Bo?

He saw that there were quite a few people standing next to Zhao Bo, who were the same batch of team members who were recruited.

Su Mo walked over.

Zhao Bo and the others saw Su Mo coming and gave up a little space. Strong people are naturally respected these days.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a serious expression walked over and shouted in a loud voice.

"Attention!"

Immediately, everyone present stood up straight.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Lieutenant Korev, and also your deputy brigade commander. I am very happy that you have joined the GT Department and become a member of the 86th Reserve Brigade."

Korev introduced himself to everyone.

"Hello, officer!"

Everyone responded.

Korev nodded slightly and then said: "Although you are new here, I know you are very good. I won't say much about those routine speeches. I'll simply tell you what your daily work and responsibilities are. Our main job is combat, but most of the time there is no combat, but more training, and training is also different, divided into team tactical training and daily training. Everyone must participate in team tactical training, no one can be absent, as for daily training, you can control it yourself."

"See over there, that leads to the training room! The G department has a total of three training rooms, one is the physical training room, which has a lot of equipment that can improve your physique, and is a good place to sweat. The second training room is for mecha and weapons combat training, and the third is a special training room. I want to remind you that with your permissions, you can only go to the first two training rooms. Don't think about going to the third training room, that's where the substitute members train."

"Also, a friendly reminder, there are often senior officers exercising in the training room, so keep a low profile and don't bump into the iron plate one day."

......

"Understood!"

Su Mo and the others responded.

Korev nodded with satisfaction when he saw this.

"Of course, you can also rest in peacetime besides training. There is a rest room here, which has all kinds of food, massage chairs and holographic movie equipment, but I advise you not to be too addicted, and don't think that you can relax by joining the GT department. We will have assessments every once in a while, and anyone who fails will be sent packing!"

"Understood! Officer."

"Okay, I won't say anything else, the brigade commander will come over to give a speech in a while, everyone cheer up. Don't provoke the brigade commander, you must know that the brigade commander used to be a famous general who fought on the battlefield and made countless military exploits. If you make him unhappy, your good days are over."

Korev reprimanded in a deep voice.

Everyone looked serious when they heard this.

At this moment, a burst of powerful footsteps came, and Su Mo looked sideways.

He saw Mo Bake wearing a major's military uniform, wearing sunglasses, and walking over with full of arrogance.

"Are these the recruits who joined our team this time?"

"Yes, Captain!"

Korev replied in a deep voice.

Mo Bake proudly patrolled the newcomers present.

As a result, when he saw Su Mo, his face twitched fiercely, and he took off his sunglasses with a look of horror.

However, when Su Mo saw the person coming, he was also stunned and slandered in his heart.

Damn it, it's really bad luck.

"Captain, what's wrong with you?"

Korev looked at Mo Bake in confusion.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Mo Bake coughed, returned to normal, and then began to speak.

"I'll make a long story short, if you join my team, you must obey orders. Anyone who disobeys my orders is disobeying military orders. Don't blame me for being impolite at that time, and don't be arrogant, you must work hard to improve your strength..."

......

The more Su Mo listened, the weirder his expression became, and he felt very funny.

But he still held it back.
