Chapter 141: Provence
It was 6:30 a.m., and the afternoon training was over.
The team members in the dormitory were scattered and lying in various positions, and the room of twelve people looked very messy.
To be honest, the quality of these rooms is not bad, but there is no air conditioning, and there are more people, so hehe.
The environment is harsh, but you have to survive.
Just after dinner, Xiao Mubai was resting, Xiao Mubai did not lie down like others, but poured a basin of water to wash his feet.
In fact, today's training Xiao Mubai is bearable, far less tired than it seems.
It's just that yesterday's injuries haven't recovered yet, and now my legs are hurting.
After a day of training, the skin on my body was tanned and red, and now it has been tanned, and sunscreen is useless.
The scorching sun in southern France in August was unimaginable, and many people fell down during a day of training, Xiao Mubai was just a little better.
I walked a lot in a day, and it was really much better to wash my feet.
Xiao Mubai thought about the interview, obviously this interview is just the beginning, and it does not mean that it has passed the review.
There is more to come, throughout the month-long training period.
Staring at the ceiling, Xiao Mubai's eyes were empty, and he didn't know what happened to the commission.
If you spend money, someone will do things, Xiao Mubai is just worried about efficiency and ability.
Just then, a shrill whistle began to sound.
"Two minutes, all classes assemble!"
After twenty minutes of dinner, everyone thought that the evening was a rest time, and they didn't expect that there would be training in the evening.
As I said at the beginning, I slept less than five hours a day, and everyone believed it at the time.
But now, everyone was tired from a day of brutal training, and they all forgot what Lieutenant Colonel Arno had said.
I didn't expect to suddenly gather now, what is going on.
Rising in discontent, rushed below in camouflage, this time no one dared to be late.
"Good!"
The sergeant major glanced at the audience and was satisfied to see that they had all come down quickly.
"Target Canu de Provence! Twenty kilometers away from the weight-bearing foot rush, one round trip within three hours. ”
Hiss!
Everyone gasped.
Even if you are not proficient in mathematics, you know how tiring it is to walk for three hours, let alone be tired now.
From the southern foot of Marseille to Canu in Provence, the distance is nearly 20 kilometers, and it takes three hours to complete a round trip.
A three-hour long walk trek, with a weight of eleven kilograms, no running, only walking.
These 20 kilometers are not flat plains and meadows, but rugged mountains and hills.
Anyone can imagine how hard it was.
Xiao Mubai didn't speak, thinking about the walking in it and was a little surprised, just staring at the sergeant major in front of him to see what he said.
"Whoever arrives first can rest early and leave now." Ignoring the suffering of the recruits, the sergeant major gave orders with majesty.
This is not a decision of the sergeant major alone, just look at the squad platoons around you.
Well, although it was helpless, but they all left.
Fortunately, it's just walking, not running, and it's a little easier. In fact, everyone is wrong, and it is even more uncomfortable not to be allowed to run for a long time.
Xiao Mubai was just surprised, but he didn't ask too much, and the sergeant major saw it in his eyes and didn't say much.
I started walking, carrying backpacks one by one, no longer restricting my pace and step length, but not allowed to run.
From sunset, the recruits walked into nightfall.
On the land of southern France, if you look through satellite positioning, you can see dense teams, slowly moving like ants.
"Sergeant, why are you only allowed to walk?" Brian, a recruit of English descent next to him, asks if Brian is his new name.
Xiao Mubai walked, glanced at the afterglow when he heard the question, and saw that the sergeant major did not look at this side, so he immediately opened his mouth and whispered.
"It's going to be harder to walk for a long time, and then you'll feel it."
Brian and Xiao Mubai are of the same age, the first to support Xiao Mubai as a temporary sergeant, and now he is Xiao Mubai's follower.
Xiao Mubai asked him to call himself Norn, but he didn't listen, so Xiao Mubai had to let it go.
Brian chattered, but Xiao Mubai didn't pay attention to it anymore, just buried his head in the road.
After an hour, it was completely dark, and my feet were starting to feel uncomfortable.
Yes, the part where the front of the foot plate connects to the toes, which is called the exertional force when lifting, is now starting to feel a slight tingling, and it feels as if a callus is growing.
At this time, many recruits have similar feelings.
This type of people, that is, relatively young people, or students, have never walked such a long way.
Other older people were better, just walking silently, not feeling anything.
The recruits continued on their way, from the faint darkness to the complete darkness.
All recruits are staring into the distance, and it is only possible to accomplish them as long as they get there, and that invisible goal is where hope lies.
Yes, where is the Provence Canu, no recruit knows, it's like a castle in the air.
There was no hope at all, just walking blankly.
The night wind was blowing, and instead of the heat of the day, the night was extremely cool.
The crowd walked in black, and the path could be seen by the moonlight, and there was no light to illuminate the way.
It was pitch black in the wilderness, there was no light at all, there was not a single village nearby, it was all mountainous and hilly.
It's obviously a good training place, no one bothers around, and the area is big enough.
In an hour and a half, I don't know how many miles I have walked, my feet are aching, and people are a little sluggish.
It was quiet and uninhabited, and there was silence all around, only the rustling of footsteps.
I don't know how far I walked, I don't know how long I walked, in short, the goal didn't appear, and there was a feeling of despair and dazedness.
At that moment, a commotion was heard in front of me, which then faded away, leaving only the sound of return.
"Canu de Provence arrives and now begins to return." The sergeant's words then came, lifting the spirits of the recruits.
Finally arrived, twenty kilometers finally arrived, reorganized the team and began to return.
The night sky was quieter, and there was no sound at all.
Walking mechanically, the foot board already felt pain, and Xiao Mubai estimated that it was blistering.
My feet stepped on the ground and I felt the pain of piercing my heart.
I would love to take off my shoes and throw them away, and walk barefoot on the ground, but I can't, and no one does.
Brian was already blistering in blood, but the sergeant major didn't let him stop, and continued to walk through the line.
Xiao Mubai was a little later, and he didn't have a seizure until now.
There was a blood blister, very good, it was not allowed to slow down, it was not allowed to stop, it was not allowed to take off its shoes, and it was just like that.
That's the rule.
Crooked feet, the center of gravity shifted, and Xiao Mubai limped.
Xiao Mubai's face was in cold sweat, and he looked at the sergeant major next to him.
The same weight was on foot, and the sergeant major didn't do anything, but he was still solemn and powerful.
This is a soldier, Xiao Mubai felt the gap.
Call!
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Mubai was ruthless and continued to take steps.
When they returned, the morale of the recruits was much higher, after all, it was very close to the silence, and I hope to see it.
However, the road to which you will go is more difficult than the way you go.
Now most people have foot injuries, and their speed has slowed down unconsciously.
Walking in a daze and mechanically, grinning with every step he took, and feeling the stinging pain in the soles of his feet.
Before I knew it, I didn't know how long I walked, but I finally arrived.
PS: I failed the course, I was very depressed, and I was the cheating teacher, so I held a grudge against the teacher...... (To be continued.) )
