Chapter 569: Experience Death
"Hurry, hurry, hurry......"
Hu Mingchen was running desperately on the beach, but Pei Qiang, who was wearing an army-green half-sleeved vest and shorts, stood aside and was still too slow, urging loudly.
If it was on hardened ground, Hu Mingchen still felt that running was not a problem. But on this beach, each foot is soft, and the feet must be halfway sunk before they can be pulled out, which seriously affects the speed.
Running on the beach, Hu Mingchen felt comfortable at the beginning, after all, it was soft to step on, and he could also look at the blue sea and blow the sea breeze on the face of the Buddha, but it didn't take long for Hu Mingchen to feel pain.
In this winter, there may be heavy snow in the north, and the rainy weather in Langzhou also makes the body feel wet and cold. But on this Qiongzhou Island, the sun is still shining, and the daily temperature will not be lower than 25, and even climb to 30 degrees on some days.
There was no shelter on the beach, and after a while of exercising, everyone, including Hu Mingchen, began to sweat from the sun.
What is even more unacceptable is that every twenty or thirty meters they run, some comrades-in-arms will pour basins of seawater on them.
Are those comrades-in-arms kindly watering them to help them cool down and reduce the heat? Of course not, otherwise, the PLA will not be the army with the strongest willpower on the surface.
When a basin of seawater is poured on the body, it will indeed feel comfortable at first, and it will indeed have some cooling effect, but after a long time, it will be a big trouble.
Washed by the sea and exposed to the scorching sun, it won't be long before everyone's skin feels hot and painful.
This is simply torture, in the first two days, Hu Mingchen really couldn't stand it, after the training, it was difficult to take a bath, from the forehead to the back to the arms, large pieces of peeling, the skin was red, hot, and he couldn't sleep.
After taking off the two layers of skin, Hu Mingchen felt better, perhaps because he was numb, but he didn't feel so painful anyway.
"Hu Mingchen, you, stop, didn't you eat, did you? swallow slowly, do you think you're here for a vacation?" When Hu Mingchen ran past Pei Qiang, he grabbed him.
"Report to the captain, I'm already pretty fast. Hu Mingchen looked at the front and rear teams, he was not the last, so he defended unconvinced.
"Pretty fast, fast yarn, quick. You kid is still not convinced, get out, roll me into the sea to carry the tires. Pei Qiang kicked Hu Mingchen's ass.
Right next to the path where Hu Mingchen and them were running, there were several soldiers standing in the seawater that was flooded to their chests carrying tires.
The so-called carrying tires is not a fixed thing about carrying a tire on your shoulders without moving. Instead, do a squat every thirty seconds.
As soon as a person squats down, the whole person will naturally be completely submerged by the seawater, which requires a strong ability to hold his breath, otherwise, he will almost be drowned.
The water is also soft, although there is the buoyancy of the water, but when the squat down, and then carry the tires, it is not so easy, after all, there is the force of the waves, waist force and balance force If it is not strong, a wave will have to be swept down.
Those warriors, not only did their shoulders peel and blister, but even their mouths began to blister.
Although it is not comfortable to carry tires in the sea, since Hu Mingchen has come in for training, he must obey the orders of Pei Qiang, the commander.
He consciously went to the side and picked up a tire, and walked out into the sea.
When Hu Mingchen squatted down, he felt like he was about to be suffocated, and the sea water pressed him down like countless hands, and the downward force made Hu Mingchen's feet even more trapped in the sea sand.
In order not to really be drowned, Hu Mingchen hugged the tire on his shoulder with both hands and desperately drilled up. And at this stage, he can't breathe and pant yet, otherwise, the sea water will forget to pour into his mouth and nose, and if he is not good, he will be choked and dizzy.
After wasting all his strength, Hu Mingchen's head finally came out of the water, and at this moment, a wave hit, Hu Mingchen was a little unsteady on his feet, and he almost fell. He reacted quickly, quickly pulled out his right leg, and took half a step back to stabilize his figure.
As soon as Hu Mingchen stood firmly, he took a few breaths of fresh air, and the instructor shouted again.
Hu Mingchen could only squat down again in despair.
Carrying a tire in the sea water and squatting is simply hellish torture, but every man in a military uniform has no reason to refuse. Although Hu Mingchen is not a soldier and has no military status, he is now wearing an army-green T-shirt and shorts.
After several squats in a row, Hu Mingchen finally couldn't hold back a big mouthful of water, and the sea water was mixed with some sea sand that was stirred and floated from the bottom.
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Hu Mingchen coughed so much that tears were about to come out, but he didn't dare to let go, as long as he put his hand, the tires would fall off, or make him lose his balance even more.
"Squat...... Hu Mingchen, what are you doing with it, is it a handle, if it doesn't work, get out. After being choked, Hu Mingchen couldn't squat down neatly, and he didn't slow down a little.
"Yes...... It's with a handlebar. Hu Mingchen gasped and said bitterly.
No man wants to be called a, this is not sexist, but the pride of history passed down to the bones.
When Hu Mingchen shrank into the sea again, his mind was suffocated, on the one hand, due to the lack of oxygen caused by holding his breath, and on the other hand, the large consumption of physical energy.
After squatting down, Hu Mingchen wanted to get up again as soon as possible to get his head back to the sea, he was now in dire need of the free and non-existent air. However, Hu Mingchen, who was squatting down, couldn't get up at all, and after trying twice, his legs just couldn't use his strength, and he immediately panicked.
The desire to survive made Hu Mingchen want to remove the tire on his shoulder, but his left hand had cramps and spasms, and he couldn't remove the tire that was around his neck at all.
In desperation, Hu Mingchen could only release his hand from the tire, and then grabbed everywhere, hoping to grasp a life-saving straw in a difficult moment.
However, in the sea, there is nothing but salty water.
Hu Mingchen opened his mouth, and after pouring a large mouthful of seawater, his consciousness became blurred. At this time, another big wave came over, and a momentum was rolled up in the water, and Hu Mingchen was immediately swept by the sea and sat on the bottom of the sea.
This sea area was still very calm at noon, but the more evening it was, the bigger the waves, rolling and turbulent, not to mention Hu Mingchen, even the other strong fighters, who were also beaten by the waves and stood unsteadily.
At the moment of falling, Hu Mingchen only had one consciousness, that is, this time it is estimated that the game will be over.
After a long while, Hu Mingchen felt a sore pain in his chest, and with a wow, Hu Mingchen woke up after squirting out a mouthful of seawater.
When he opened his eyes, Hu Mingchen saw Pei Qiang squatting in front of him, his hands still on his chest, and he, Hu Mingchen, was not in the sea, but lying on the beach, surrounded by Deng Xiaoyong and a soldier on both sides.
"Damn, you kid is too careless, just a few clicks, you almost went to the Dragon King of the East China Sea as a companion?" Seeing Hu Mingchen wake up, Pei Qiang not only did not feel relieved, but could also tease Hu Mingchen.
Hu Mingchen almost rolled his eyes again, what kind of person is this, he was almost drowned, and he was still in the mood to joke.
In fact, Pei Qiang didn't really care about Hu Mingchen's safety, but in their opinion, this was a normal situation that often appeared.
Not to mention the brother units of other troops, even the soldiers in the mountain wolf commando who were stunned, there are not a few.
In addition, if someone on the beach notices the situation in the sea, if they notice that something is wrong, someone will immediately come to the rescue. Hu Mingchen was carried up from the sea by the soldier next to him.
Therefore, although there are not a few people who are stunned in various trainings, it is not common for them to really lose their lives. In a word, Pei Qiang knows it in his heart.
Hu Mingchen just held his breath in the sea water and fainted, as long as he helped him drain and rescue, there would be no big problem.
"What are you doing rolling your eyes, you're afraid of death, if you're afraid of death, take the car home quickly, you can go back now to catch up with the New Year's goods." Pei Qiang put on his sunglasses, took out a cigarette and lit it in style.
"I almost died, I can't roll my eyes. Hu Mingchen said stubbornly.
"Okay, as long as you're not afraid of death. We can't have people who are afraid of death, all of us have experienced the feeling of death approaching, and now you have experienced it too. In fact, death is such a thing, only if you are not afraid of death, can you carry out the arduous task assigned by the state, do you understand?" Pei Qiang puffed out a cigarette, stood up from the beach and looked at the sea road.
"I understand. Hu Mingchen followed and got up from the ground.
"I tell you, this sea is like a battlefield, you can't defeat it, it can defeat you. Look at a few of them, have you noticed that they are getting stronger and stronger?" Pei Qiang pointed to the sea and the few fighters in the sea who were still training with a cigarette.
Hu Mingchen followed Pei Qiang's fingers and looked at those fighters, he must admit that these people have indeed become much stronger, and every time they squat, they seem so firm and powerful. When it emerges from the sea, it can also set off a wave.
"I see, it's like this on the battlefield, it's like it in life. Hu Mingchen nodded.
"It's good that you understand, in fact, the more afraid people are, the less likely they are to die, and even if they die, they will die well. Around you, the more people who are afraid of failure, the more mediocre and unaccomplished. Only by facing difficulties and facing them, gritting their teeth to persist and overcome, can they become fearless and reach their peak. Pei Qiang turned his back to Hu Mingchen and continued.
This time, Hu Mingchen did not answer, but nodded silently, expressing his agreement with Pei Qiang's point of view.
"Okay, that's all for today, take a break, and continue tomorrow. Pei Qiang glanced back at Hu Mingchen, ignored him after speaking, and continued to step forward to direct others to train.
