The mid-term assessment is usually held for all students after they have studied for half a year.
Although no students have died so far, the high mortality rate emphasized by the examiners and ministers when selecting departments is not false after all. Generally speaking, the first wave of large-scale deaths of students occurs during the mid-term assessment stage.
Because the mid-term assessment means that the students will begin to formally engage in actual combat.
The mid-term assessment of the command course is to personally lead the experimental subjects to fight against the alien insects, with the goal of passing through the alien insect forest.
Instructor Mo returned to the classroom after bringing Su Chan to the entrance of the alien insect forest. Seeing that Zhu Shijiu was still sitting obediently in his seat and had no intention of leaving, he said, "Actually, actual combat is not much different from remote command, except that it is equivalent to losing the God's perspective, which is a big hindrance to those with insufficient abilities, but Su Chan..."
Instructor Mo smiled with satisfaction: "She has already achieved the ability to have a bird's-eye view of the whole situation. It doesn't matter whether she has a bird's-eye view or not. She was able to remotely command the team to pass through the Zerg Forest before, and she can do it now."
Zhu Shijiu originally wanted to continue watching, but after seeing that Su Chan had entered safely and everything was in order, he felt a little relieved.
Instructor Mo has been teaching students for such a long time, so he should be very clear about their abilities. He said that it shouldn't be a problem for Su Chan to pass the mid-term assessment.
Thinking of this, Zhu Shijiu no longer stayed in the classroom and stood up from his seat: "Let's go."
"What? Don't want to see it again?"
Zhu Shijiu simply replied: "There is no point in continuing to watch."
So, under the worshipful gazes of the students, Zhu Shijiu was led out of the classroom by Instructor Mo.
After leaving the classroom, Zhu Shijiu asked, "Now you can tell me, where is the test location? And what do you mean by failing the test is a sin?"
Instructor Mo sighed with emotion: "In fact, I really don't recommend you to take the graduation test now, because I don't know your actual situation. I dare not say what your current level is. If you take the graduation test now, I am worried that you will send some innocent brothers to die in vain."
Zhu Shijiu was confused: "What's going on?"
"The graduation assessment of the command course focuses on command. And it is not like playing house, commanding the test subjects to shuttle through the monotonous scene of the alien insect forest that we carefully arranged and cultivated, but... a real battlefield."
Zhu Shijiu's pupils shrank slightly.
"There are countless battles of all sizes happening all over the world right now. Everywhere is a battlefield of Zerg and Black Soldiers fighting each other. But as you know, our Black Soldiers are losing ground to the Zerg and our defenses are almost collapsing."
"And a good commander can turn the tide of the battle. I am taking you to the Iliminaison Command Center now, where you will conduct actual combat command."
Zhu Shijiu was really stunned this time.
He finally understood why the graduation assessment of the command course was not announced to the public, because the fact that the defense line almost collapsed was still a secret until now, and the Black Soldier Organization's deployment to fight against the alien insects naturally could not be known to outsiders.
The "sin" that Instructor Mo mentioned was naturally very simple. If he was incompetent, not only would he kill the black soldiers that the organization had worked so hard to train, but he would also likely cause the collapse of the defense line in the war zone he was responsible for.
"No wonder... No wonder you still don't think highly of me even though I'm so amazing." Zhu Shijiu murmured to himself.
Instructor Mo twitched his eyebrows and said, "You also know that you are very amazing. But it's too late to regret it now, because I have already applied to the higher-ups, and your place has been approved."
Zhu Shijiu couldn't help but ask, "Does the organization trust students so much to lead real battles?"
Instructor Mo rolled his eyes at Zhu Shijiu and said, "Student? Among the students who applied for graduation assessment, who among them is not a nearly qualified commander? Pay attention, the students who really make it to graduation step by step have all possessed qualified qualities, unlike you... hehe."
I wish Shijiu will be ashamed.
"But the organization approved your application because they have high expectations for you, and so do I. You have created miracles time and time again, so the organization will give you the opportunity to take the graduation assessment. Just like Commander Xu in the past, you have already entered the vision of the upper echelons."
Zhu Shijiu was alert in his heart, but at the same time he suddenly realized that this was also an opportunity!
Where are the opportunities
As long as he can perform well in this command, the organization will entrust him with important tasks, and he will embark on the path of rapid promotion just like Xu Feng.
Xu Feng rose to the position not only because he was the son-in-law of the former commander, but more because he himself had strong abilities.
But no matter how strong one's ability is, one still needs a chance to show it. Xu Feng chose to seduce a woman to quickly gain the attention of Commander Xu, and he... Perhaps the current graduation assessment of the command course is the best way for him to climb up.
Instructor Mo took Zhu Shijiu out of the training base and registered at the gate. A bus was already waiting outside the training base.
Zhu Shijiu took a quick look after getting in the car.
There were twenty or thirty seats on the bus, but there were only about ten people sitting scattered on the seats. They were all command cadets who were preparing to take the graduation examination like him. He should call these people "seniors".
The seniors looked at Zhu Shijiu without any joy or sadness. They did not look up to him because of his great reputation. Instead, they all had the traditional Sima expression of the command center students.
Zhu Shijiu didn't say hello to them, but walked straight to the center of the last row of the bus and sat down.
Instructor Mo did not get on the bus. The bus started moving quickly. In a silent and solemn atmosphere, the bus drove for about an hour, from the bustling streets into a steel forest composed of tall buildings.
The pedestrians on the street have also changed from ordinary people to hurried elites. The elites are all dressed in suits and ties, and their every move shows extraordinary demeanor.
As the bus traveled along the way, Zhu Shijiu naturally noticed the street signs, which marked the names and directions of the surrounding buildings.
For example, 50 meters ahead is the "High-tech Research Institute", 200 meters ahead turn left is the "Armed Resources Production Base", 350 meters ahead turn right is the "International Joint Strategic Consultation Department"... Just as Zhu Shijiu was distracted, the bus passed by a villa residential area, which was the residence of the family members of the organization's senior executives...
Zhu Shijiu knew without anyone explaining that this was probably the central core area of the entire Ilimnesson Island, which was difficult for ordinary people to set foot in.
Finally, the bus drove to a place similar to a military area and finally stopped in front of a tall steel wall.
The steel wall has no end on both sides, but one can imagine that inside the steel wall is a more important military stronghold. The bus passed through layers of core areas all the way, and it was obvious that this was the real core.
"Boys, it's time to get off the bus."
The driver's emotionless voice sounded, reminding everyone who was in a daze.
There was a rustling sound. The seniors were the first to leave, and Zhu Shijiu got off the car after everyone else.
The bus drove away quickly, leaving only seven people including Zhu Shijiu standing there in a daze.
However, they were not in a daze for long, because there was a sudden rumbling sound from the city wall in front of them, and then the ground began to shake, and a huge steel door appeared on the city wall and slowly opened to both sides.
No, this huge steel gate did not appear suddenly, but because this gate was seamlessly integrated with the city wall, so they did not notice that there was a gate here before...
Zhu Shijiu thought that if a rebel who wanted to cause trouble wanted to break through here, he might not even be able to find the door.
After the huge steel door opened, the first things that appeared in front of everyone were two rows of elite black soldiers holding guns. They marched out in an orderly manner like emotionless machines. Walking in the middle of the two rows of black soldiers was a man who was not much older than Zhu Shijiu and looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
The man stood in front of the crowd, looked at them one by one, and then shook his head with emotion: "There are only seven people this time, so there will probably be only two or three left in the end... Come on, follow me."
"Wait, aren't you going to introduce yourself first?" someone asked.
The man said without even turning his head: "Forget about introducing yourself. The identity of each commander is generally confidential and cannot be revealed to the students who are about to be eliminated. Although it may be a bit cruel to say this, it is very likely that none of you are qualified to know my identity right now... Oh, by the way, who is Zhu Shijiu?"
Finally the man suddenly turned around and asked.
Zhu Shijiu raised his hand.
The man nodded to Zhu Shijiu and said, "You should be prepared, because your test difficulty... should be a little greater than others."
