Upon hearing this, the three men's faces turned ashen, their bodies rigid with the realization that they were on the verge of being dismissed.

Thiago avoided their gaze entirely, while Alina was already prompting the officers to expedite the process. "One minute remaining," Alina said gently.
In the next instant, before the three men could further appeal, they were efficiently subdued by the officers, hoisted onto their shoulders, and carried off toward the helicopter like mere cargo.
The remaining thirty-seven recruits stood in stunned silence, resembling statues, unable to utter a word. They had not anticipated that the three would be sent back to their original units without a chance to defend themselves. This swift action subdued any thoughts of rebellion among the other male soldiers, who now hesitated to challenge Harlee.
Lionel observed the now subdued soldiers, remaining quiet for a moment before allowing himself a slight smile. He was confident that Harlee had not brought them to this remote location merely to make them suffer. She undoubtedly had a well-thought-out plan aimed at significantly enhancing their skills.
Relieved to see the end of the rebellious attitudes, Lionel felt reassured. Now, they could focus on proper training. As expected, Harlee always managed to handle everything calmly.

Her voice, cool and steady, said, "Let's go. The real training begins!" This time, none of the recruits dared to question her. After witnessing the consequences faced by their peers, they adhered strictly to Harlee's commands, well aware that being sent back to their original units would spell the end of their military aspirations.

The male soldiers who hadn't eaten their noon meal felt the strain just two hours into the march. Had it not been for the earlier incident, they might have voiced their discontent.
Harlee, marching at the front and shaded by a black baseball cap, appeared unaffected by the trek. In stark contrast to the disheveled recruits, she looked as though she was merely out for a casual stroll. Finally, just as the recruits neared their breaking point, Harlee halted and allowed them a ten-minute rest.
Everyone collapsed to the ground in relief. Sremoved their gear and set it aside while others lay directly on the sand and closed their eyes, shutting out the world.
Thiago had earlier shown the recruits stechniques to find water. Thanks to this, all had managed to drink, sufficiently an and refill their canteens. Without this knowledge, smight have succumbed to dehydration.
