Chapter 30: The Competition
Although there were two more civilians on the island, when the hour hand on the watch jumped to 8:30 in the morning, the internal selection competition for the second "Blue Shield" World Military Competition was held as scheduled.
No one knows how many people will close their young eyes forever when the smallpox virus finally starts to attack five days later. Death before leaving the school, often makes the hero tearful unwilling, the strong reluctance to the brothers around him, and constantly tumbling and mixing in the depths of everyone's heart, because of this, standing in front of Li Xiangshang are eight teams that have sharpened the texture of the blade in the face of death, but have not endured, and become more and more dangerous.
Li Xiangshang's gaze finally fell on Xiao Xiaoxiao's body. Xiao Xiaoxiao, a big boy who could only live to be thirty-eight years old and had several twists and turns in the army, but was still as hard as a stone, stood on the right side of their team in the Wind Shadow Building, supporting the banner of the ninth participating team. Although he knew that Xiao Xiaoxiao was only at the level of a scout at most, but with his remarkable life experience, as well as his feat of daring to rush straight into the military compound while piloting a self-made helicopter, he still won Li Xiangshang's favor and won a ticket to the competition.
What made Li Xiangshang angry and funny the most was that it was only five days later, and Xiao Xiaoxiao had already pulled his team members. God knows how he coaxed and deceived, how he instigated Xu Tingting and Chen Yan, in short, Xu Tingting and Chen Yan, who entered this island as supernumerary personnel, actually joined forces to join the camp of Xiaoxiao and formed the ninth team that is eye-catching.
Li Xiangshang suddenly shouted: "All the captains are out!" ”
Including Xiao Xiaoxiao, the nine captains of the participating teams took a step forward together.
This is an island far from the inland, the venue is limited, the equipment is limited, everyone guessed in advance, Li Xiangshang will definitely not use the conventional way to design the schedule, but really no one could have imagined that as soon as the game began, Li Xiangshang aimed at the nine captains. "From now on, you have one minute to pick an assistant from your own team, select weapons and equipment, and work together to complete the task I assigned."
Feng Ying Lou Huo Ran turned his head, his gaze fell directly on the Dragon King, if Li Xiangshang really planned to let them, the captains, take a team member, to engage in a frontal armed confrontation, the best at fighting to the death, the Dragon King is definitely the best candidate, but a person like the Dragon King who has a strong sense of oppression and does not know how to converge, once he joins the war, he will inevitably become the target of everyone to deal with it in the first time, considering this, Feng Ying Lou's gaze turned on the Dragon King's body, and then moved to Yang Liang's body.
Yang Liang is a sniper, if they let nine teams participate in a melee in a specific environment, the sniper is the most effective lethality, but also the best fire support, but Yang Liang lacks the ability of sports assault, and this island is too small, once he is entangled by the enemy and starts a sports assault battle, he will definitely lose.
Feng Yinglou's gaze fell on Li Fan again, Li Fan's level in the field of individual combat can only be regarded as above average, but he has excellent judgment and keen intuition like a girl, these two characteristics make him have fox-like cunning and chameleon-like survival ability. If it is a super melee between the nine participating teams, Li Fan can definitely preserve his strength until the battle enters the final end. However, once the captain of Fengyinglou "dies" first, even if Li Fan can hold out to the end, in the face of the final decisive battle that must be fought hard and there is no more trickery to speak of, the victory will miss out on them.
Thinking of this, Fengyinglou suddenly realized.
Isn't the harsh condition of selecting only one teammate to assist in the unknown competition is testing their understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each team member, as well as their judgment of the unknown field?
Feng Yinglou's gaze finally fell on Qiu Yue, and he said in a deep voice: "Qiu Yue, you come!" ”
Qiu Yue does not have Li Fan's extraordinary wisdom, Yang Liang's sniper level, and he does not have the murderous domineering of the Dragon King's eyes, but in his body, there are almost no shortcomings. And the long-term immersion in the palace of martial arts has given Qiu Yue an absolutely amazing body reaction ability and sprint speed, as long as he can hold on to the end, no matter what kind of opponent he faces, which field of confrontation he faces, Qiu Yue will at least have a chance to give it a go.
Feng Yinglou took Qiu Yue and strode to the supply area that Li Xiangshang had prepared for them in advance, and the two of them each picked an automatic rifle, a self-defense pistol, and a combat saber. With enough bullets, seeing that in the supply area, there were still two boxes of individual field food, Feng Yinglou thought about it for a while, but grabbed three copies and put them in his backpack.
"Isn't the boss usually quite smart, why did he make a mistake at this time?" Seeing Fengyinglou's actions, the Dragon King's eyes widened, and he said, "If you want to change to me, it's okay to get a few more magazines, it's just the first game, and it won't drag on for ten days and half a month, why does he have to take three individual rations?" ”
Li Fan gave the Dragon King a fierce glance and replied, "If this is not a competition, but a real war, will you not prepare rations for yourself when you go to the battlefield?" Also, do you think that the headmaster, deliberately putting individual rations in the supply area, is really a source of hard work, and he is playing with it at will? ”
The Dragon King couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
At this time, the nine captains had already selected their teammates and weapons. The people who are qualified to serve as the captains of the participating teams are, of course, the best elites from the special teams directly under the group armies, and they, like Li Fan, thought of the crux of the problem, so everyone put a few individual rations in their backpacks.
Looking at the eighteen professional soldiers standing in front of him, fully armed, Li Xiangshang nodded noncommittally, and he suddenly said: "You captains led the troops deep into the enemy territory and started a fierce battle with the enemy, and now all the team members are dead, leaving only you in this mission, the important goal that must be brought back to the command headquarters alive." The subject was wounded by a bullet in the thigh and is incapacitated. Within forty minutes, if you can't bring the target to the headquarters five kilometers away, the mission will be considered a failure! ”
It wasn't until Li Xiangshang opened the test questions that they understood that the assistant team members they wanted them to select were not to cooperate with them in the battle at all, but to act as a load and let them run a 5,000-meter cross-country race. I don't know what the other captains think, the only thing to be thankful for is that he didn't choose the Dragon King as an assistant, otherwise, with the surname of the Dragon King, he would definitely stuff his body with ammunition, plus his weight of more than a hundred kilograms, the Wind Shadow Building must not be directly pressed down by him?!
Seeing the eighteen people in front of him, who were still standing in front of him stupidly, Li Xiangshang widened his eyes and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, you have already wasted twenty seconds on the battlefield!" ”
It was only at this time that several captains woke up from a dream, they picked up their teammates, and ran away.
Five-kilometer cross-country running with weights, not to mention special forces, even ordinary soldiers have received training similar to this. At the beginning, you must not run desperately in order to run to the front, but to maintain a relatively average speed, until the body runs hot, the joints of the whole body are fully moved, and then accelerate appropriately, run to 3,000 meters, and then slow down slightly, in your own body, accumulate strength, until the last kilometer, and then try your best to sprint at high speed.
"Boss, I remember when you were in school, the best record was to complete a five-kilometer cross-country run in eighteen minutes, brother, I am not heavy, you must not lose the face of our school today!"
Qiu Yue was still cheering in the ears of the Wind Shadow Building, and he suddenly let out a strange scream: "Damn, don't you do this?" ”
Although he knew that when running cross-country with weights, he should not look left and right, let alone look back, which would not only waste physical strength, but also be more likely to fall in complex terrain due to distraction, but when he heard Qiu Yue's voice of crying and laughing in shock, Fengyinglou still couldn't help but look back.
The slowest to react, running at the back of the team, is, of course, the captain of the ninth team. However, no matter who turned their heads to look at it, they were immediately stunned, and the expression on their faces was as wonderful as hell.
In terms of weight, Xiaoxiao is definitely the most relaxed one. The team member he selected was Xu Tingting, whether it was Xu Tingting or Chen Yan, both of them were young girls, even if their bodies were up and down, their weight definitely did not exceed the fifty kilogram mark. The most important thing is that they are the same as Xiao Xiaoxiao, they all come to the war with the attitude of friendship first and competition second, so Xu Tingting rarely said that she has weapons and ammunition, and she doesn't even wear body armor.
In this case, Xiao Xiaoxiao has taken a big advantage, but he is still not satisfied. He, he, he didn't carry Xu Tingting to run at all, God knows where he found a tree more than three meters long, let Xu Tingting sit on it, and then he dragged the tree like a dog sled. And Xu Tingting's large group, in this case, was still in the mood, waving a small branch in her hand, with a gentle movement that God knows if it counts, gently pumping "hit" on the back of Xiao Xiaoxiao, and her silver bell-like laughter ran with Xiao Xiao, swaying happily all the way, "Drive, drive, my little pony, you run a little more!" ”
got Xu Tingting's "spur", heard her cheerful laughter, dragged the tree and laughed a little, and ran more energetically. Li Xiangshang does not have a hard surname rule, the captain must run with his team members on his back, so in addition to scolding the shameless in his heart, no one can point to the small nose and say that he violated the rules. At the same time, looking at the smile of running farts and running faster and faster, several captains must also admit that the statement that men and women are not tired of working together really makes some fucking sense!
Looking at the trees that can be seen everywhere and can be used when picked up, several captains hesitated and hesitated, after all, there was still no second person, and there was no such cheekiness as Xiaoxiao. In this way, the first person to rush through the 5,000-meter weight-bearing sprint and bring the target back to the command alive was the lightest and brazen laughing little who was cheeky and slippery!
The worst thing is that they are carrying a team member, plus the weapons and equipment of two people, and the weight has exceeded eighty kilograms, but every captain does not want to lose to Xiao Xiao's head trick tactics, they throw away the rules of warming up in the first kilometer, accelerating in the last two kilometers, self-adjusting in the fourth kilometer, and sprinting in the fifth meter. After sprinting continuously and with all their might, when they finally crossed the finish line, even their captains ran out of breath, and their heartbeats were so intense that they almost jumped out of their chests.
Looking at the first victory, like a proud little peacock, scribbling to the two girls, showing the muscles of their arms, several captains are still self-respecting, too lazy to meet with Xiao Xiaoxiao, their team members, but some people can't help but whisper: "Copy!" ”
Although their voices are not high, but dozens of people speak in unison, the sound waves mixed out, still look broad and majestic, hearing the dissatisfaction of the public, Xiao Xiaoxiao still has a "Lao Tzu is the best in the world" expression, raised a middle finger at everyone, with a heavy machine gun-like action, after covering everyone, said loudly: "! ”
Li Xiangshang looked at the captains who were on the building, including the Wind Shadow Building, and said, "You guys don't think much of Xiaoxiao's behavior? ”
No one spoke, which was regarded as acquiescing to Li Xiangshang's words.
"Do you know what is the biggest difference between humans and animals?"
The answer, as we all know, the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans know how to make and use tools, while animals cannot.
Several captains glanced at Xiao Xiao and said in their hearts: "Of course, when the gorilla eats ants, it will use a small wooden stick to dig and dig in the tree hole, this kind of behavior is not counted!" ”
"You can say that you didn't think of it at first, but when Xiao Xiaoxiao dragged Xu Tingting with a tree and overtook you one by one from behind, of course you should immediately understand that with this method, even if you don't violate my rules, you can also save a lot of physical strength. You found a more effective way, but none of you followed suit. ”
Xiao Xiaoxiao knew that there was a huge gap between him and you in terms of physical fitness, so from the very beginning, he was trying his best to find loopholes in the rules, and his extreme desire to win made him successful. But what about you, who claim to be the most elite special forces in the country? ”
In the end, Li Xiangshang was already full of voice. "I understand, you think it's a shame to learn from a rookie who isn't even a scout. But I just want to ask you, if this is a real war, and you retreat backwards with your seriously wounded brother on your back, will you also give up more effective methods because of this vanity, and waste your physical strength and time there in vain, until you watch your brother die little by little?! ”
No one could answer Li Xiangshang's question, and no one even dared to make eye contact with Li Xiangshang's eyes, the faces of several captains turned blue and pale, beads of sweat the size of beans still couldn't stop oozing out of the pores, and the heartbeat was still as fast as a drum, at this time, Li Xiangshang suddenly took out a few strips of cloth that had been prepared a long time ago, and said, "Come and get one yourself, and cover your eyes tightly." ”
No one knew what kind of strange problem Li Xiangshang came up with, but several captains still honestly used strips of cloth to blind their eyes to a trace of light.
"As a captain, in addition to clearly knowing the strengths and surnames of each member of his team, he should also establish a tacit understanding with the team members without language.
As the current principal of the Fifth Special Force, Li Xiangshang does have his own outstanding set of methods in terms of training. And he was ruthless enough, "I will randomly pick a member of your team and let him walk in front of you." I don't care if you smell each other with your nose, or listen to each other's footsteps, or if you sense them purely by instinct, you must tell me exactly who I have picked out. If you are the captain and can't even answer this question correctly, the whole team will be eliminated! ”
Without immersion, it is difficult for you to understand that Li Xiangshang's question is purely an iron lock across the river, and it is so ruthless!
Several captains are the best of the Chinese special forces, they can stand in this position, there is absolutely no mediocrity, put them together to compete, the feeling of almost natural enemies between the strong, will force out the last potential of each of them. In the five-kilometer weight-bearing cross-country run, they had already done their best, and after reaching the finish line, they were immediately reprimanded by Li Xiangshang in public, and their faces were red and blue for a while.
This kind of double agitation of physical strength and spirit, there is no time to calm down, so let them blindfold them, and use their senses other than their eyes to distinguish their teammates, which is tantamount to a person running at full speed, and suddenly being hit head-on by an invisible fist, so uncomfortable that people almost vomit blood in public, but they can't help but hold back desperately.
"Hahaha......"
Several captains, who were still trying to adjust their physical fitness and mentality with their breathing, suddenly let out a burst of villainous laughter. "There are only two members of my ninth team, Xu Tingting is still standing beside me, of course you are Chen Yan's sister!"
Listening to Xiao Xiaoxiao's happy laughter, several captains almost really vomited blood, and in the second test, Xiao Xiao took the lead. But if you want to see, 2-1 is of course equal to 1, and the second question is too simple for Xiao Xiaoxiao, right?
But at this fateful moment when there was only a slight mistake and the whole team was eliminated, several captains did not dare to lose their minds at all, and they tried their best to suppress their heartbeat, while pricking up their ears and listening carefully. But they soon discovered that they were not at all able to make accurate judgments.
The team members who were silently named by Li Xiangshang walked to a distance of more than 20 steps from them, and saw Li Xiangshang make a "stop advancing" gesture.
Not to mention the heart in everyone's chest, beating as if it was beating a drum, just talking about this island, all around is the sound of waves crashing on the coral reef, and the sea breeze is whistling and blowing, unless they really have a sixth sense, or have a third eye, otherwise, the distance is so far away, the footsteps can't be heard clearly, and the smell can't be smelled, how dare they open their mouths to be sure, who did Li Xiangshang choose?!
In front of everyone, the eight captains have been silent, and Li Xiangshang did not urge them, but quietly looked at the watch on his wrist, according to his regulations, the second hand on the watch, after turning twice, Fengying Lou They still couldn't determine the candidate, and it was regarded as an automatic abstention.
The eight team members standing in front of their captain had an unconcealed anxious look on their faces, but in front of Li Xiangshang, they and the captain were more than twenty meters away, who dared to make small moves by themselves?
When the second hand on the watch turned around for a half and a half, Li Xiangshang looked at Fengyinglou, who was still standing there quietly, with his ears sideways, and said indifferently: "If you really can't judge, you can also guess Fengyinglou, remove Qiu Yue who is still standing behind you, there are only three people left in front of you, Li Fan and Yang Liang, even if a blind cat touches a dead mouse, you have at least a 30% chance!" ”
"If I guess, the odds are only zero."
Feng Yinglou finally spoke, "The person you chose for me is not a member of our team, but a leopard from the Guangzhou Military Region team!" ”
"Oh?"
Hearing the correct answer, Li Xiangshang's gaze skipped over the Wind Shadow Building and fell directly on Qiu Yue behind him, "You used the index finger of your right hand to flick on the rifle magazine, are you using the Morse code to report to the Wind Shadow Building?" ”
"Yes!" Qiu Yue replied calmly, "The sound here is too noisy, and I don't dare to do it blatantly, although the two of us are standing very close, but I still sent it four times in a row, and the captain finally heard it clearly." ”
At the same time that the Wind Shadow Building determined the identity of the target, the other seven captains also made the same correct judgment. The number of members of the team led by them far exceeds that of the team in Fengying Building, and the probability of successfully passing the assessment is pitifully small if they want to pass the assessment smoothly by simply guessing, so Li Xiangshang did not additionally select other team members to set up doubts. And they were able to pass the test smoothly, just like the Wind Shadow Building, they all used the team members behind them as their eyes, and quietly communicated with each other like the eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers.
Li Xiangshang's face finally showed a smile. But at this time, he still did not let go of the captain who had broken through two levels in a row, "Take off the strips of cloth from your eyes, give you ten minutes, draw a topographical map of the entire island, and take the island defenders as the starting point, and arrange 20 machine-gun pillboxes, 10 bunkers, two fire support points, a mortar company, two machine-gun platoons, 1,500 meters of serpentine barbed wire, and 1,200 infantry to all parts of the island, set up a ladder fire network, and keep a strategic counterattack reserve." The captain whose map error exceeds 10%, has a hole in the defense, and cannot form an effective fire support network will be eliminated by the whole team! ”
(To be continued)
