Chapter 30: Win-Win Cooperation (Part II)

Howard didn't brag that seventeen of the fifty-two obstacles required two people to work together to get through.

Peterovich looks down on Desert Island Ryuyuken, who is eager to prove his prowess, only to run into big trouble in the face of obstacles that need to be passed through together.

It took the two 55 minutes to get through the 1,500-meter obstacle zone.

This result is not only not ideal, but can even be said to be very bad.

According to Chu Tianjiang's estimate, if Halevi's ability was on par with him, the two would definitely be able to pass the obstacle zone within forty minutes.

Next up were Vincent and Sullivan, who spent 48 minutes and 18 seconds.

The third group was Schultz and McDonald, which took 44 minutes and 47 seconds.

Armed with standard equipment, Chu Tianjiang and Halevi entered the obstacle area. Both of them aim to finish first overall, so they are determined to win the first place in each event.

The first five obstacles are not very difficult, and they can be regarded as warm-up exercises, without helping each other.

The sixth obstacle is a wooden wall that is 3.7 meters high, and the surface is oiled, so even if you accelerate the sprint, you can't climb it on your own.

Chu Tianjiang took the lead, rushed to the wooden wall, squatted down and crossed his hands. Halevi accelerated his sprint, using Chu Tianjiang's lifting power to climb the wooden wall. Chu Tianjiang ran back for more than ten meters, and after accelerating the sprint, he jumped up in front of the wooden wall, and Halevi stretched out his hand and dragged it onto the wooden wall.

The two cooperated very well, and the whole process was completed in one go.

Next, the two passed more than a dozen obstacles as fast as they could. Arriving at the first fire blockade, the two were in trouble.

It's a mine blockade!

In the 55-metre-long blockade zone, the two special forces had to avoid not only a half-metre-high barbed wire, but also a simulated mine buried in the ground. What's worse is that the mine's planting point is random, and as long as it is pressed up, it will explode, and there is no chance of demining.

As a rule, one minute is added to the time taken for each mine fired.

Peterovich and Desert Island Ryunoken were penalized for two minutes when they passed through this minefield, and it was all the "credit" of Desert Island Ryuzhijian.

This time, Halevi rushed to the front.

Although Chu Tianjiang is also a good at demining, he did not compete with Halevy.

The safest way to get through a minefield is to follow a line that reduces the chance of hitting a minefield by half, and the follower must have absolute trust in the teammate in front of them.

Although it took about three minutes, the two of them passed through the minefield without danger.

After passing through more than a dozen obstacles, the two came to the second fire blockade area.

This is a machine-gun blockade zone, and the height of the barbed wire fence is reduced to 0.4 meters, just enough for the able-bodied special forces to pass on the ground. Although Howard arranged for more than a dozen machine guns to strafe nearby to create a battlefield atmosphere, for the sake of safety, dozens of laser beams located five centimeters above the barbed wire replaced the flying bullets. Either way, as long as you block the laser beam, you will be hit by a bullet.

As with the first fire blockade, time is lost when you touch the line of fire.

Arguably, this is the most difficult obstacle.

Because only by clinging to the ground can it not be hung by barbs on the barbed wire, it cannot be passed alone, and two special forces must cooperate with each other.

The solution is that both of them move forward diagonally.

After one person is fixed, he pushes the other person forward, and after the other person is fixed, he turns back and pulls, and he can only advance half a meter at a time.

Chu Tianjiang and Halevy are of the same physique, and they are both known for their dexterity.

This distance of 25 meters, the two of them took almost six minutes.

This speed is already very fast. The previous three groups all spent more than ten minutes here, and they were all penalized for touching the line of fire.

Comparatively speaking, the third fire blockade zone is the least difficult.

This is an artillery blockade zone.

Also for safety reasons, the shells were replaced by a beam launcher with rotational stabilization. After the launcher hits the ground, it will rotate in place and scatter hundreds of laser beams in all directions, with a minimum angle of 15 degrees between the beam and the ground, simulating the shrapnel produced after the explosion of an artillery shell. The duration of the beam is 0/1 second, and as long as it is swept by the beam, it is even if it is hit by a bullet.

As with the first two fire blockades, time is penalized when swept by a beam.

The length of this section of the fire blockade zone is one hundred and fifty meters!

It doesn't take much time to run the 150 meters, but it's not easy to get a good result, that is, to reduce the penalty time.

The point is that there must be someone who is vigilant against the "cannonballs" that may fall at any time.

Chu Tianjiang and Halevi did not discuss, and the two chose the method that took the least amount of time, that is, covering each other, and one person was always in charge of guarding. When a "cannonball" is seen or heard, a warning is immediately issued, and the advancing special forces immediately lie down.

As long as you lie down in time, the probability of being swept by the beam is very low.

This time, it took the two about five minutes.

Before reaching the finish line, the two faced the most difficult challenge: a water obstacle that was 100 meters long and could only be traversed by slings spaced five meters apart.

The length of the sling is only one meter, and with a five-meter spacing, it is impossible for any special forces to pass alone.

In order to pass, the two special forces must work closely together, like an acrobatic performance, throwing their partner at the front of the sling in a dangling way, and then being caught by the partner, and then having the partner throw the sling in the same way to grab the sling in front of them, alternately passing through the obstacles.

While there is no penalty for falling into the water, it does mean that you have to start from scratch. The previous three groups have all made more than five attempts here. To make matters worse, falling into the water can cause clothing and gear to become submerged, resulting in increased weight and making throwing more difficult.

Chu Tianjiang and Halevy's first attempt ended in failure.

On the penultimate sling, Halevi didn't hold on, and when Chu Tianjiang swung over, the two fell into the puddle together.

Trying again, the two switched orders.

There is a problem with the penultimate sling, that is, the knot at the end is loose and there is no point of focus, and you can only rely on the grip of one hand to support the weight of two people.

Obviously, no one has such a strong grip.

Chu Tianjiang used a very ingenious method, that is, he wrapped the rope around his wrist.

Successfully passing the obstacles, Halevi nodded towards Chu Tianjiang.

The last two hurdles were not at all difficult, and both of them passed without any problems.

It took 36 minutes and 25 seconds!

"Now, you have to make a decision." Howard waits at the finish line for the special forces who pass the test.

Chu Tianjiang didn't speak, and Halevi didn't open his mouth either, because both of them wanted to win the first place, and they wanted to become the special forces with the first overall score.

"If you don't choose, depending on the number of times you collaborate with each other, it will be up to ......"

"Sir!" Halevi spoke.

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Chu's performance is better than mine, and I am willing to rank behind him."

Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times and looked towards Halevy. If the verdict is made by the number of mutual assistance, it must be that Halevi is ahead of Chu Tianjiang, because Halevi helped Chu Tianjiang eleven times in the assessment, while Chu Tianjiang only helped Halevi nine times.

"Is this your decision?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Very well, you can go back to the waiting area."

"Yes, sir!" The two saluted Howard.

After walking a distance, Chu Tianjiang spoke. "For what?"

"You deserve it." Halevy's tone was calm, without the slightest emotion.

"But ......"

"I made a mistake when it came to navigating the water barrier, and you found a solution." Halevy turned his head and glanced at Chu Tianjiang. "Just because I've assisted more often doesn't mean I'm better, it's just that I'm faster than you. If it were you, the result would be the same. ”

Chu Tianjiang didn't say anything more, Halevy's sprint speed was indeed faster than him.

By the time the two returned to the waiting area, Aldridge and Alfred were already on the court. Although the two performed outstandingly, it took thirty-nine minutes.

When Howard came to the waiting area and announced the results, Chu Tianjiang was not surprised.

Alfred backed down, and Aldridge finished third in the assessment. Because Desert Island Ryunoki made more mistakes in the assessment and Peterovic provided more help to his teammates, Howard ruled that Peterovich was ahead of Desert Island Ryujian.

At this point, Chu Tianjiang caught up with Aldrich, and the two tied for first place with a total score of 410 points, followed by Halevi with 380 points. Because of the bottom of the results, and the good results of Sullivan and McDonald, the desert island dragon warriors fell to ninth overall, just ahead of Vincent.

Before the disbandment, Howard announced that tomorrow would be the last day of the assessment, with two assessments in the morning and afternoon.

Because there were still a few hours before evening, Chu Tianjiang did not return to the camp, but went to the bar with a few guards who specialized in protecting him.

Janet still plays the role of a hostess, except that there is not a single Japanese in the bar, mainly American officers and soldiers.

Obviously, what happened yesterday made the little devil feel uneasy.

"Janet, whiskey."

"Did you have fun today?" Janet was clearly referring to something.

"yes, I took the first place again." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "To celebrate today's victory, I invite everyone to have a drink!" ”

Someone invited a drink to drink, and several US officers and soldiers blew their whistles.

Janet looked a little lost, because the reason why Chu Tianjiang was happy had nothing to do with her.

After arranging the drinks that Chu Tianjiang had treated, Janet returned to the bar. "Are you free tonight?"

"Not tonight." Chu Tianjiang smiled. He still has a lot to learn, including how to deal with women, and now is the perfect time to practice.

"So, you're free tomorrow night?"

"Maybe. Why, I didn't feed you last night? ”

Janet showed a shy smile, if Chu Tianjiang didn't know her identity, it was really possible to treat her as a yellow flower girl who didn't leave the boudoir.

"Wait for my call tomorrow night." Now that Janet has been rebelled by Zhang Xiaogang, and she has to do something to gain the trust of American intelligence officials, Chu Tianjiang not only can't refuse to be thousands of miles away, but also behaves very intimately, as if she has been seduced by Janet.

"You're going to call me?"

"Of course, we do what we say."

Janet's cheeks turned red, and she looked like a girl who had tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time.

Seeing Chu Tianjiang flirting with Janet, several US officers and soldiers showed envious expressions and a little anger.

Chu Tianjiang ignored them, and the warrior relied on his strength to speak. The fate of those thirteen Japanese guards was a lesson from the US officers and soldiers who planned to challenge Chu Tianjiang.

As night fell, Chu Tianjiang returned to the camp.

Because he didn't have to eat a nutritious meal, Chu Tianjiang ordered a steak in the bar. It doesn't taste authentic, but it's much better than a nutritious meal.

Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong were not there, and neither of them came back until Chu Tianjiang went to bed.
