Yu Fengcheng's eyes were cold and chilling, just as he was about to speak, Chen Jing shouted angrily: "Shut up, shut up!"

Several people were silent for a while.

Chen Jing sighed wearily, "Now there are only five of us left, and you are all soldiers brought out by me. From now on, I ask you to obey my orders, and give me everything I don't want you to say." Rotten in the belly, the purpose of this selection is not to make you question each other and attack each other. The Snow Leopard Team has its own standards. Whether you accept it or not, you have to participate in the selection under this standard. I understand that you are angry in your heart, and I also Angry, but can you fight internally because you are angry? Haven’t you grown up? If this is a real battlefield, can the country entrust the important task of protecting the people to soldiers with your attitude?”

Liang Xiaomao turned his head away, his face was very gloomy.

Daxiong whispered: "Squad leader, we have no other intentions, don't be angry, I just think... we are all so tired that we are like idiots, our legs are about to break, but we are eliminated inexplicably at some point , which is really unacceptable.”

Chen Jing said: "Before you came to participate in the selection, you should have heard a lot of rumors about the Snow Leopard Brigade. If the threshold of the Snow Leopard Brigade can be easily entered, it cannot be the most brave special forces in the Northwest region. , you now feel that the selection is cruel. If you pass the first test, everything you will face next will be even more cruel, and the training will be more painful than this. And one day you will really go to the battlefield. He is a cruel enemy, and the real swords and guns flying around him may die in a foreign land at any time. Compared with that, what is the current fatigue and grievance? Fengcheng is right, if anyone thinks that he cannot accept those things , should rationally choose to give up here."

Liang Xiaomao clenched his fists, "I won't give up, I've endured hardships, I'm not afraid of death, the current difficulties can't defeat me!"

Da Xiong also said: "I won't give up either. I've come here. I must see how awesome the Snow Leopard Squad is."

Chen Jing said: "Okay, everyone take your luggage and let's go."

Bai Xinyu struggled to get up from the ground, his body was exhausted beyond his imagination, but his brain was unexpectedly very clear, maybe it was the fragments of memory just now that knocked his drowsy head awake, maybe He was woken up by Huo Qiao's "elimination" just now. In short, he suddenly realized that he might be a very lucky person. He didn't believe that he could recite a completely unfamiliar word or number in 30 seconds, but what he got happened to be the lyrics that he had some impressions in his memory. He passed the first level by luck, which didn't make him feel the slightest joy. Thinking of Wang Shenglin's gloomy eyes before he left, he felt that he passed this level very dishonorably. It was Yu Fengcheng who took care of him everywhere along the way. Take him to avoid bullets, let him sleep for a while while guarding, and even give him the last sip of water, and the only level that needs him to complete independently, he is lucky to pass, the more eager he is to prove his ability , it seems that the more he can't exert his strength, this feeling of frustration makes him very uncomfortable.

After they ran into the forest, they were only seven or eight kilometers away from their destination. Seeing that victory was in sight, the five of them squeezed out a bit of strength from their bones and marched quickly. After running for a while, they encountered the first and possibly the last wave of attack today. This attack was not the ambush they experienced before, but came from the sky.

When they saw the shadow of the helicopter in the distance, they expected that it was coming towards them. The helicopter had a wide search range, and there must be snipers on it. They were running around in the sparse woods, and there was absolutely no way out. So they made a decisive decision and decided to quickly build a bunker to hide and wait for the helicopter to leave.

They found a suitable low-lying area within a minute, covered their bodies with branches, leaves, etc., quickly built individual bunkers, and hid. The helicopter quickly came to patrol above them, and the buzzing sound circled back and forth above their heads. The five of them felt a little nervous. They didn't know if their bunkers were perfect enough. Once they were discovered, no one could escape the sniper's bullets .

Suddenly, gunshots sounded in their ears, blank bullets hit their sides, leaves flew up, and the few people dared not breathe. Even if they moved casually at this time, they might not be able to escape the sharp eyes of the sniper.

The helicopter hovered in the sky for more than 20 minutes before the sound gradually faded away.

They climbed out of the bunker and continued to walk forward, but after a short walk, the plane came back, and they immediately realized that the plane was planning to follow them all the way to their destination, deliberately slowing down their speed. They hid and hid all the way, and the journey that could have been reached in two or three hours went all the way until it was dark. It is more convenient to move after dark, so they decided to go to the destination in one breath before resting, otherwise they will definitely be overtaken by other teams that night.

At two o'clock in the morning, after 65 hours of trekking with hunger, thirst and fear, they finally saw the road and human lights again. It seemed to be a temporary camp, which was obviously the destination of their trip. At this time, the five people were holding wooden sticks in their hands, staggering, their eyes were dull, and they looked like walking corpses. Except for Yu Fengcheng and Chen Jing, who were still human, the others were almost unconscious from exhaustion.

"Here, we are here." Chen Jing pointed at the camp excitedly.

Bai Xinyu was so moved that tears filled his eyes. If he didn't have this ability, he would have suspected that he was dead now. Even if he wasn't dead, his legs should have been sold to the devil, because he could barely feel his legs.

"It's here... It's here..." Daxiong murmured, and the 1.9-meter-old man actually started to sob softly at this moment.

Bai Xinyu's feet softened, and he fell to his knees with a plop. The moment he saw the camp, he relaxed a little. Once he relaxed, his tense body collapsed unbearably. He sighed, "It's finally here. ".

Yu Fengcheng grabbed his arm, "It's not time to rest yet, although they have seen the camp, if they just pass by like this, they don't know if they will be attacked, unless they hear from Huo Qiao that we have arrived at our destination , otherwise it doesn’t count.”

Bai Xinyu hugged his waist like an octopus, but his body still slid down, so Yu Fengcheng had no choice but to hold him by the collar.

Chen Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, let's work hard tonight and complete the task, maybe we can have a good rest."

Bai Xinyu grabbed Yu Fengcheng's hand and got up from the ground. He had lost his temper after being tortured. He patted his face, "Let's go, while we can still move..."

Five people approached the camp quietly. There are five or six tents in the camp. There should be quite a few people. There are also many small pickups. From a long distance, they can smell the smell of food coming from the camp. It has been a long time, but the smell has not completely dissipated. For them who have eaten weeds and bugs for two days, even if it is garlic, they can eat two ends each.

The five threw away their sticks and crawled towards the camp. The tents in the camp were half lit, but there was hardly anyone outside, except for one or two people standing guard in front.

Yu Fengcheng whispered: "The vigilance is too loose, there may be an ambush."

"I also think there may be, but now there is a temporary kitchen less than ten meters away from me, and I can already smell it." After Daxiong finished speaking, he swallowed hard, and the voice could be heard clearly through the earphones.

"I seem to... smell it too." Bai Xinyu said, the tent seemed to be waving at them, and he couldn't help but want to rush in and have a big meal.

Liang Xiaomao said: "Squad leader, what should we do?"

Chen Jing thought for a while, "We can't go in rashly. We ran into an ambush when we were getting equipment from the supply base. We have to find a way to subdue the guards, and then..."

"Squad leader!" Bai Xinyu pointed not far away, "Someone has passed by, is that from another group?"

"What?" A few people looked in the direction Bai Xinyu pointed, and there were really two people walking towards the camp with sticks like them. He watched helplessly as the two walked up to the person on duty, said a few words and went straight in.

The five were silent for a while.

Because they had been ambushed when getting the equipment, and they were very scruples about Huo Qiao's unpredictable and merciless pass standards, so they subconsciously complicated things. They got up from the ground, imitated those two people, and walked directly towards the person on duty. Sure enough, the person on duty looked familiar and greeted them with a smile, "You are the second team to arrive. congratulations."

When he said these words, the hearts of the few people fell back into their stomachs completely, they have arrived! arrive! After a 50-kilometer raid, after 66 hours, they really arrived at their destination! A few people walked into the camp with trembling legs. After seeing the two people who had just entered had fallen to the ground, they also fell to the ground with a plop. They only felt that their brains were spinning and their muscles seemed to melt. Unable to exert strength, they no longer want to move.

A few people walked out of the tent with lights in the middle, and the leader was Huo Qiao, who was wearing a vest and shorts. Huo Qiao said with a smile: "Congratulations, you arrived almost at the same time. You successfully passed the 50-kilometer dash .”

Hearing this sentence, several people's eyes became hot. They really wanted to jump up and cheer, but they didn't even have the strength to open their mouths. Bai Xinyu felt that even if someone came at him with a big knife, he would... "Then let's go to the next level now." Huo Qiao said cheerfully.

What? ! Bai Xinyu's eyes widened suddenly, and a series of dirty words came out of his heart. What did Huo Qiao say? next level? Is there a next level? Go to the next level now

The seven people on the ground let out lifeless wailing, and most of them had imagined that they were going to hit Huo Qiao on the head with the butt of a gun.

Huo Qiao said: "For the pickup trucks here, you can choose one for each team, or you can choose one for each person. You need to drive the car to the upstream of the reservoir you swam over, and then drive the assault boat to the other side. , and finally arrived at our training base. The straight-line distance is about 120 kilometers. I declare in advance that no matter which car or boat you choose, there will be problems. Half of them were eliminated."

Several people struggled to get up from the ground. This level is much easier than running for 50 kilometers. There are cars and boats, and most of the distance does not need to be run with legs. Now that the most painful part has been overcome, it is naturally impossible to give up at this time. They just climbed towards the pickup truck. past.

The yellow team was the first to arrive, and only two of the nine people remained. They opened the doors and started a few cars. They seemed to want to see the severity of the problem and decide which one to choose, but it was almost hard to see the problem before the problem broke out. out, and eventually they picked one at random.

The five of them decided to drive two cars, just in case one car couldn't be repaired, they could drive another one.

Yu Fengcheng and Bai Xinyu took one, and the other three took one. They set off five minutes later than the yellow team. When they set off, no one from the other teams had arrived. They predicted that they would eventually arrive at the base and There will never be more than 15 people who pass the level, which makes their time very tight. Although the content of this level is simpler than the fifty-kilometer dash, the elimination rate is much higher and the rules are more cruel. What Huo Qiao said is that half of the people who arrive later will be eliminated, which means that they don't know how many people can pass The test of the 50-kilometer dash, and then participate in this project, in case only the two of them can enter the checkpoint of driving the car and boat, then at least three of the seven of them will be eliminated, and the two of the yellow team who drove out first, Already ahead of them.

Yu Fengcheng was driving the car, and Bai Xinyu collapsed on the co-pilot, too tired to open his eyes, but he still muttered: "You can drive for a while and replace me."

Yu Fengcheng said: "Even if you can drive, I don't feel relieved to let you drive. I don't want the car to be destroyed."

Bai Xinyu opened his heavy eyelids, "I was afraid that your mind would be distracted."

Yu Fengcheng blinked his tired eyes vigorously, "It's certain to be distracted, do you know how long we haven't slept?"

Bai Xinyu smiled wryly, "I'm so tired that I almost have no ability to think."

Yu Fengcheng said: "After getting off the boat, there are still about ten kilometers to walk. It is impossible to rest tonight. You should hurry up and sleep for a while."

Bai Xinyu shook his head, "I can't sleep, I want to talk to you, otherwise you will be sleepy too."

"I can hold on." As soon as Yu Fengcheng finished speaking, he yawned fiercely. He grabbed the water bottle and took a sip of water, his eyes were bloodshot.

Bai Xinyu grabbed his hand, "You are not a superman, this journey...you and the squad leader are the most tired." When there is an ambush, Yu Fengcheng and Chen Jingchong are always at the forefront, and they are also the two of them who scout, explore, and test traps Besides, Yu Fengcheng had to take extra care of himself along the way... Bai Xinyu felt guilty for a while, if he hadn't come, would Yu Fengcheng be much more relaxed than now? He couldn't help asking: "Yu Fengcheng, I..."

"Huh? What?"

Bai Xinyu whispered, "Did I hold you back?"

Yu Fengcheng squeezed his fingers, "No."

Bai Xinyu hugged his arms in his arms, as if holding a gun that would reassure him the most, "Really?"

Yu Fengcheng said: "No, you performed better than I imagined."

Bai Xinyu pursed his lips and smiled, with Yu Fengcheng's words, he felt that it might not be worthwhile to be offended now.

Yu Fengcheng pulled out his arm, touched his head, and turned his head to look at him, "From the first time I saw you to now, you have really changed a lot, I can hardly recognize the same person anymore."

Bai Xinyu chuckled, "The most notable change is that he is more handsome and manly than before."

Yu Fengcheng grabbed his hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss, then said with a low smile, "This is what the bed decides."

Bai Xinyu laughed and scolded: "Why do you have the final say on the bed?"

Yu Fengcheng opened his mouth, grabbed his finger and bit it, "Because I have the final say."

The corners of Bai Xinyu's mouth twitched. The dark and quiet road stretched out as far as the eye could see. The narrow carriage closed the world as if only the two of them were left. They were exhausted, they relied on each other, and their breaths were filled with each other. It smells bad, but strangely reassuring. Bai Xinyu really hoped that this car could keep driving, because he didn't know whether what was waiting at the finish line was the result of his and Yu Fengcheng's final separation.

The car drove for about 50 to 60 kilometers, and then something went wrong. Yu Fengcheng parked the car on the side of the road, opened the front cover and started to check. They contacted Chen Jing by radio, but they broke down even further behind. For half a kilometer, they divided into two groups and repaired the car.

The two took out the maintenance tools in the trunk, bit the flashlight, and checked various parts of the engine. After more than an hour of tossing, they finally found out that the problem was the engine igniter, and found it in a very hidden corner of the car. They had already spent two hours replacing the new igniter for them.

They restarted the car, stepped on the accelerator and ran wildly. On the road, they passed the yellow team who was still repairing the car, which made them greatly relieved.

At dawn, they finally arrived at the hydropower station. This hydropower station is the source of the small reservoir they swam over. The reservoir of the hydropower station is not as narrow as the small reservoir. The distance between the two banks is at least 300 meters. If you can swim, you must drive a boat.

More than a dozen assault boats were ready on the shore. They got out of the car and ran over to see that the engine was actually separated from the raft, and they had to assemble it by themselves! And because the assault boat was very small, it was a bit difficult for five people to sit on it, so they had to prepare at least two boats.

Although they have learned the basic maintenance knowledge of these vehicles when they were in the army, they are not proficient in this, and it is extremely laborious to repair. Just as they were racking their brains to fix it, another team arrived, not the yellow team, but the green team with the same two remaining members.

Chen Jing sighed, and said in a low voice: "I know one of them, and that is the auto repair company of our regiment, who specializes in this. We can't compare with them."

Bai Xinyu said urgently: "Isn't this fucking cheating in disguise?"

Chen Jing shook his head, "You can't say that. We specialize in surgery. We are good at investigation and lurking, so we can keep five people."

Liang Xiaomao wiped his face, getting all the engine oil on his face. He looked at the two soldiers from the auto repair company with piercing eyes, and said in a low voice, "There is no rule in the Snow Leopard Brigade that we cannot attack other teams' soldiers." people?"

Chen Jing widened his eyes, "Do you want to..."

Liang Xiaomao said: "They must be repairing very fast, let's grab one."

The reactions of several other people were different. Chen Jing frowned deeply, Da Xiong hesitated, Yu Fengcheng was expressionless, Bai Xinyu was dumbfounded, and Liang Xiaomao seemed a little guilty after saying this, but he still defended: " We're not really hurting them..."

Chen Jing said in a deep voice: "No, how can we point our guns at our comrades-in-arms and snatch others' repairs... What have we done?"

Liang Xiaomao muttered: "But this is not against the rules, and no one said that it can't be done. This shit is really hard to repair. Shall we swim over?"

Chen Jing shook his head resolutely, "No, if I do this kind of thing just for a selection, I will have a bad conscience for the rest of my life."

Liang Xiaomao looked at the others, "What do you think? Ordinary people who will arrive later will be eliminated. Maybe we will be half of the people who will arrive later. If we are all eliminated here, would you be willing?"

The others didn't speak, Da Xiong seemed to want to agree, but he couldn't pass his own test. Yu Fengcheng remained expressionless, silent, and buried himself in the study of the engine. Bai Xinyu's Adam's apple was twitching up and down. He agreed with Liang Xiaomao's impulsiveness, but seeing Chen Jing's serious expression, he didn't dare. Moreover, if he was really asked to grab a ship from his comrades with a gun, he didn't know if he would be able to do so.

That's right, Huo Qiao never said that he can't attack people from other teams, and they already have competition, so it seems understandable to use some means to win for themselves, after all, it doesn't really hurt people, but Bai Xinyu still thinks it is wrong Comfortable, if they really do it, I'm afraid they will always have uneasy conscience just like what Chen Jing said. He only discovered now that he and Liang Xiaomao have one thing in common, they are both opportunists, more selfish, and want to opportunistically, while Chen Jing is completely opposite to them, Chen Jing is too upright, has a moral obsession, and can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Don't allow yourself to be stained. Having such a leader has both advantages and disadvantages.

Seeing that no one spoke, Liang Xiaomao lowered his head angrily, "Okay, let's practice. If you lose, you lose. I admit it too. What else can I do?"

Twenty minutes later, the people from the green team set off, and half an hour later, the people from the yellow team arrived. At this time, they completed the installation of the engine of the assault boat. With the experience of the first installation, the second It took them more than an hour to finally complete this heart-scratching work. They boarded the assault boat and drove towards the opposite bank. However, they are currently behind the green team by at least One hour.

At this time, the sky was completely bright, and there were only two hours left before the 72-hour time limit for the fifty-kilometer raid.

The five of them drank fruit all day and did not close their eyes for more than 24 hours. Although victory was in sight, they were also on the verge of collapse.
