Chapter 327: Life is like a year
Of course, Wu Fei had already taken this into account when choosing the assessment location. www.biquge.info The reason why he knew that each person had a bottle of 500 ml of mineral water and an apple could not survive the 12 hours, that is, the 24-hour assessment period, in the extreme climate of the desert. This is because not far from this area, there is a crescent-shaped dune area. There, there is a small, naturally formed oval pond.
Although the desert is so vast that you can't see the edge at a glance, there is a system of underground water flowing beneath the surface covered with yellow sand. The small pond under the crescent-shaped sand dunes, due to its geographical location, forms a pond with groundwater.
This pond is less than a kilometer away from the current positions of all the assessment members, and it only takes less than an hour to reach it if you walk forward. However, due to the view of the crescent-shaped hill, the members of the assessment could not observe the existence of the small pond from their current location until they actually came here, just by relying on the naked eye. Of course, Wu Fei had known this for a long time, so he would make such an allocation.
In the second round of assessment, all the members who participated in the assessment needed to compete not only for endurance, but also for them to be good at seeking a glimmer of life in an unknown environment. As a qualified member of the Shadow Guard, the first thing to do is not how to kill the enemy, but to survive the brutal battlefield is the first priority. Only survive to the end, that's the most important thing.
This is also the reason why Wu Fei set up the second round of assessment, the purpose is to train their will to survive and endurance.
After distributing everyone's food, all the members waited patiently in place. Some people really couldn't bear the hunger and thirst in their hearts, so they opened the mineral water that had been allocated to them and drank it. They knew that for the next twelve hours there would be only one bottle of water for them to drink. Therefore, when they drank the water, they only took small sips, and did not dare to drink it in one go, otherwise, they would have no water source to drink in the following days. Unless, they can find a small pond a kilometer away.
At this time, the scorching sun hanging high in the sky emitted an endless scorching light, scorching the entire desert.
Everyone was sweating profusely, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept flowing from their foreheads. In order to be less entertained by the sun, they took off their clothes and the multifunctional travel backpacks they carried on their shoulders, dug a very large sand pit in the same place, and then jumped in one after another, using their clothes and backpacks as cover to withstand the scorching sun from the high altitude. It doesn't matter if all the participants in the assessment are a group of big men, but among the members who participate in the assessment, there are more than a dozen female members!
Women's resistance is not as strong as that of men, and the sun is so hot, the rate of water loss in the body is intensified. If you can't get timely hydration and rest, let alone twelve hours, I'm afraid you won't be able to last even six hours during the day.
As the captain of the entire team, Soul Eater certainly took this into account. So, he led the other members to dig another bunker on the other side of the big bunker, and then let a dozen female members into it, and put some of the extra clothes on the outside of the bunker to shield from the sun.
Wu Fei and Meng Tian sat inside the capsule of the pulse aircraft, monitoring their every move at any time. After seeing the fifty members of the assessment team burrowing into the excavated sand pit, Wu Fei's face showed a smile.
In the complex and ever-changing climate of the desert, if you can't learn to keep the water in your body from being evaporated, then it is only a matter of time before you go into dehydration shock. The members of the assessment used the method of digging sand pits to expose themselves to an environment that could slow down water loss. In this way, they can last longer. This method is a better way. However, this method is only a symptomatic treatment, and if they cannot find a new source of water before drinking the 500 ml of mineral water distributed, it will be difficult to last until the end of the 12-hour assessment.
The twelve hours of the second round of assessment are probably the longest, most painful, and most unforgettable twelve hours they have experienced in this life!
"General, guess how long they can last out in the heat like that outside"?
After observing for a while, Wu Fei leisurely took out a bag of chacha melon seeds and knocked them up, and asked Meng Tiandao, who was standing next to him, while sipping melon seeds.
Although not a single member was eliminated in the first round of assessment, at least one-third of the people could be eliminated in this second round of assessment. This is the final result of the analysis and inference of scientific data based on the physical fitness and potential of the fifty members who participated in the assessment, and in the second round of assessment, he also reiterated the rules of the assessment, and there will be no more situations like in the first round of assessment.
"Eight hours is already their limit. As for Soul Eater, his strength has been greatly improved after breaking through the bottleneck period, and it shouldn't be a problem to persist for twelve hours. Master Hou, isn't the assessment period of twelve hours too long, this is ....... for them."
"No, the twelve-hour assessment deadline was finally decided upon after careful consideration. As the general just said, eight hours is their physiological limit, beyond eight hours, their bodies will be in a serious overdraft stage, but this is also one of the important processes for them to stimulate their physical potential. Without the trials of life and death, their physical potential will never be developed.
Although the water I gave them was only a small bottle, there was a pond under the crescent-shaped sand dunes, 1,000 meters away from them. The water source in the pond is the underground water system under the sandy land, which can be used as normal drinking water. If they could find the pond, it would be easy to spend twelve hours. When the time comes, as long as they can endure the cold of the night, they will be considered to have passed the second round of assessment."
Although it was very simple to listen to Wu Fei, Meng Tian knew that what the members participating in the assessment had to face was not as simple as Wu Fei said. Now, all he can do is hope that these members who participated in the assessment can persevere. Of course, it is best to be able to successfully pass the second round of assessment.
As time passed, three hours had passed since the official start of the morning assessment. During these three hours, although everyone temporarily slowed down the flow of water in their bodies with the help of the bunker they dug as a bunker, the 500 ml of mineral water held by each person soon became less than half. As for the apples and compressed biscuits, they didn't dare to touch them at all. Only three hours have passed, and there are still nine hours to go. They also had to rely on the remaining half a bottle of water, an apple and a packet of compressed biscuits to get through the rest of the day. (To be continued.) )
