After speaking indifferently, Gao Yang ignored those who looked simultaneously furious and astounded. He walked to the front of the formation and, after giving the remaining men a stern look, suddenly said to Li Jinfang behind him, "Groups of five, you assign them."
"You, you, and you—five of you, group up."
Li Jinfang began calling out names and, after picking out five people, arbitrarily formed them into a group.
In total, forty-one people were left, which divided into eight groups left one person extra, resulting in one group of six.
After dividing people into eight groups, Gao Yang waved his hand and with a cruel smile shouted loudly, "Run another lap on the route we just took. I only want thirty, so I need to eliminate a lot of you. The rule is that the last in each group gets eliminated, and the last group to finish is entirely eliminated."
