"My test is more difficult than others?" Zhu Shijiu was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
"Because the organization has high expectations of you, those who are capable will be given more work."
"What if the organization increases the difficulty and I fail the assessment?"
The man sneered: "Then go back and continue studying!"
Zhu Shijiu fell into deep thought.
"Does anyone else have any questions?" The man glanced at the other six students.
The other six students did not have any questions.
"Very good, keep up with me. Zhu Shijiu... You haven't taken many command classes, so watch and learn well. I don't expect you to become a top commander right now. You may even be the one with the worst performance in this graduation assessment. Be prepared."
Zhu Shijiu: “…”
What's wrong with this guy? He was praised and criticized at the same time. Zhu Shijiu didn't understand what this man meant. Was he saying that he had a promising future, but not now
However, Zhu Shijiu's doubts only lasted for ten minutes.
The man took everyone to the command center.
The scene in the command center was very different from the solemn scene that Zhu Shijiu had imagined. The moment he entered the command center, Zhu Shijiu couldn't help but complain: "Are you sure this is the command center, not the customer service center?"
To be honest, when Zhu Shijiu saw the scene in the command center, he actually thought of telephone customer service.
The scene he saw now was extremely similar to the scene in the customer service center. Every commander had a headset on his ear and a computer in front of them. The computer screen displayed a complex system and various data. The entire command center was noisy, and the commanders were giving instructions one by one into the headset, making the space extremely noisy.
This picture looks very much like telephone customer service communicating with customers through headsets.
However, the other end of the headset is not the customer, but the black soldier squad under each commander.
The man smiled: "When I was brought in, I had the same idea as you, but you will get used to it in the future... Oh, it's too early to tell you this now, you haven't officially graduated yet."
Zhu Shijiu thought, here it comes again, this guy started praising him again, as if he was sure that he could enter the command center.
Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a roar erupted in the command center!
“Ahhhh… dead, dead, dead, all dead… ahhh!!! Hahahahahaha… fucking hell… hahahahaha… Zerg, Zerg, Zerg! Shit Zerg!”
A man suddenly dropped his earphones, and started crying and laughing like a madman, holding his head and screaming.
His face was distorted, as if he had experienced something terrifying that could break his psychological defenses. His eyes were red and bloodshot, and he looked like a madman. His body kept shaking and he looked crazy.
Zhu Shijiu's eyes widened, and the other students were also terrified.
"This, this is..."
However, the man only glanced at it briefly, as if he was used to it: "It's normal, nothing serious, it's just that the commander couldn't bear the blow in his heart and had a mental breakdown. He will be taken away for treatment soon."
Sure enough, soon after the man finished speaking, a group of people in white clothes ran up and quickly dragged away the madman who had gone crazy and even started attacking other commanders.
The man smiled calmly: "Haha, what's the fastest treatment method you can think of?"
"Emotion-erasing potion." This was the answer from the other six seniors.
"Tranquilizer." This was Zhu Shijiu's answer.
Both parties answered at the same time, and were stunned for a moment after they finished answering.
After a brief thought, the six seniors changed their tune: "We were wrong. It should be a tranquilizer."
The man asked, "Why?"
One student said, "Because the emotion-erasing potion has no emotional recovery period, and the commander just now was obviously not in a normal emotion-erasing state, which means he was not injected with the emotion-erasing potion. The only treatment method that can be taken should be tranquilizers, and perhaps some psychological counseling."
The man looked at Zhu Shijiu again.
Zhu Shijiu said: "After the emotions are wiped out, it will affect normal decision-making. If it is a black soldier, it doesn't matter, but if the commander loses the judgment of a normal person, the orders he gives will inevitably be inaccurate."
For the first time, the other students looked Zhu Shijiu in the eye. In terms of understanding, Zhu Shijiu's answer overwhelmed them.
The man smiled with relief: "Not bad, not bad, I was right about you."
Then the man explained the situation to the new students with emotion.
"That commander was in charge of the Southeast Asia theater of operations. He didn't sleep for days and nights because of the continuous command. His spirit was on the verge of collapse. Moreover, the continuous failures and large-scale deaths made him feel extremely guilty."
"Can you imagine? After his order was issued and perfectly executed, a large number of people died. The commander then realized that his order was wrong and that he had killed his own corrupt soldiers. This despair and helplessness piled up again and again, and it kept repeating itself, like a curse that could not be shaken off, entangled in the commander's heart."
"Every night when they fall asleep, the commanders will clearly remember the orders they issued, and they can also clearly recall the corrupt soldiers they 'killed'. Some commanders even suffer from insomnia because they can't bear the pressure that accumulates bit by bit, and have to inject drugs every night to fall asleep."
"Neurosis, depression, schizophrenia, mania, hysteria, persecution delusion... any mental illness you can think of has occurred in this command center."
"However, this kind of despair and helplessness is something that every commander will inevitably experience. If you can bear it, continue to bear it. If you can't bear it, then receive treatment and continue to bear it. Once you enter the command center, you will never be able to escape from this situation."
All the students were stunned.
The man glanced at the dazed crowd and said, "I'm giving you a chance to quit now. It's not bad for you to give up the graduation assessment and just stay a student."
No one spoke.
What a joke! Ever since they entered the training base, they have been studying command courses, overcoming all obstacles and going through actual combat with alien insects. Now they are asked to give up
The man focused on Zhu Shijiu and said, "Especially you. Everyone in our command center has heard of you. You are an all-round genius, so you have more choices."
"Choose?" Zhu Shijiu smiled. "Choose to become a machine that can only charge under the commander's command?"
The man didn't try to persuade her any further.
Zhu Shijiu asked, "After graduating from the command course, students don't necessarily have to come to the command center. Aren't there still missions outside?"
This kid really can grasp the key points better than ordinary people.
The man nodded. "That's right. Apart from staying in the command center at the rear, or going to the front line, there are no other options."
One student was stunned: "That's not right, what about our instructors? Aren't they our instructors?"
The man said quietly, "What if I tell you that your instructors didn't even pass the graduation assessment for the command course? Strictly speaking, they haven't even graduated yet."
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.
