Chapter 30: Keep playing
The fight between Pang Hu and Tan Xingchen can only be described as fierce.
Pang Hu's advantage is strength, and Tan Xingchen's advantage is hard qigong. The two of them are good at attacking and defending, and for a while, no one really pressed anyone down, and their strength was between half a catty and eight pounds.
As time passed, Pang Hu's power was noticeably less powerful than before.
Tan Xingchen seized an opportunity to violently use the hard qigong to resist a punch, and then kicked Pang Hu in the chest, and then the two fell to the ground together, a draw.
Tie, which makes neither of the two able to convince the other.
Just when the two struggled to get up and continue fighting, Zhao Guoqing jumped between the two as soon as his body moved, and shouted in a deep voice: "Enough." If you continue to fight, both of you will be injured, and neither of you will want to participate in tomorrow's team match at that time! β
Both of them have been defeated by Zhao Guoqing, and after ten days of special training, the person they want to defeat the most is also Zhao Guoqing, but the helpless thing is that both of them are now resting, and it is impossible to fight with Zhao Guoqing again. Besides, the hearts of the two are like mirrors, if they continue to fight, their bodies will be unbearable, and it will really affect tomorrow's team match.
After thinking about it for a while, Tan Xingchen and Pang Hu could only give up, but the two were secretly competing in their hearts, and they both wanted to perform in tomorrow's game and defeat each other.
After a night of rest, Zhao Guoqing, the players who participated in the team competition, gathered at the entrance of the group department with the fullest spirit.
There were three battalions in the regiment, each with five men participating in the competition, plus five members from the privileged guard company, making a total of twenty contestants.
Don't underestimate that the guard company is just a company, but all the soldiers who enter this company are basically the elite of the regiment, so the strength of this company is also very strong.
During last year's team competition, the first and second battalions did not get places, the third battalion won a total of two places, but the guard company won three places in one fell swoop, which shows the strength of the guard company's individual soldiers.
After the twenty selections were assembled, the head of the group announced the rules of the competition.
Zhao Guoqing and the others will be sent to the mountains on the east side of the regiment headquarters, where the 20 will spend 48 hours, during which they are not allowed to carry any weapons and dry food, and the only equipment on them is a distress flare.
If someone can't hold on, they can use a flare for help, and they will be disqualified from the game.
This competition rule seems simple, but it is actually equivalent to an upgraded version of the camp game, and the difficulty level is also the number of the camp game, because it also has an unspoken rule.
During the forty-eight hours in the mountains, in addition to the natural environment, the main enemy of the participants was the competitors.
In order to ensure that they can secure the final five spots, the unspoken rules allow players to compete against each other, and by eliminating as many other players as possible, they will also ensure their final ranking in the team competition.
An hour later, Zhao Guoqing and others were sent to the deep mountains on the east side of the regiment headquarters on time, and the timer officially began.
Forty-eight hours, two days and two nights in the mountains, facing natural conditions hunger and thirst and the threat of his companions, he did not even have a map in his hand, only a distress flare and a heart to persevere.
Entering the mountain, Zhao Guoqing and these contestants naturally separated, but because they did not have a map in their hands, they did not dare to go too deep in the face of unknown dangers.
Not long after Zhao Guoqing entered the deep mountains, he quickly found a place to hide, and he believed that most people would do the same as him, trying to conserve their physical strength as much as possible.
Just half an hour after Zhao Guoqing and others were sent into the mountains, Instructor Xiao received a phone call, and the caller was Zhao Guoqing's fiancΓ©e, Xiao Yaxiao.
"Something happened to the second brother." Xiao Yaxiao's voice was still cold, but it was full of anxiety, and this situation had hardly occurred.
Instructor Xiao chuckled in his heart, knowing that the thing that could make the little sister lose her temper like this must be very big, and hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, tell me what's wrong." β
Xiao Yaxiao replied, "We just intercepted a reliable piece of information that several mercenaries have sneaked near your current location. β
It turned out to be just mercenaries.
Instructor Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that the little sister's abnormal mood must be related to Zhao Guoqing.
"Zhao family boy, what kind of magic did you exert on my sister to make my little sister care about you so much!?" Instructor Xiao was curious for a while, he knew that with Xiao Yaxiao's temper, let alone a belly for marriage, if she really didn't like that man, she might kill the other party directly.
"Second brother." Xiao Ya screamed in a hurry.
"I'm here." Instructor Xiao replied lightly, and then asked, "Do you know the specific number of people on the other side and the purpose of appearing here?" β
Xiao Yaxiao replied: "At present, I only know that they are members of the wolf mercenary group, and the specific number is unknown. Ten days ago, during the camp competition, the wolf mercenary group sent a team of four to kidnap Zhao Guoqing, I speculate that their action this time is also aimed at Zhao Guoqing, and the level of these mercenaries will be higher than the last time! β
Against Zhao Guoqing?
Instructor Xiao didn't know about the grievances between Zhao Guoqing and the wolf pack mercenary group, so he asked very curiously, "Why did the wolf pack mercenary group risk running into the territory to deal with a new recruit?" β
"I haven't found out yet, I just know that someone hired them to do it." Xiao Yaxiao replied, and then said, "Second brother, the situation is very critical now. I have a mission that I can't withdraw, and the manpower of the Wyvern Special Forces can't be transferred, and the time is urgent, so I can only ask you to settle this matter. β
"What do you want me to do, kill those mercenaries?" Instructor Xiao said and looked at his white hand, he hadn't killed anyone since two years ago.
"Second brother, I know it's very difficult for you to do this, but now you are the only one who can help, at least you have to ensure his safety!" Xiao Yaxiao pleaded, she rarely begged people, but she begged Instructor Xiao twice in a row within half a month.
"I see." Instructor Xiao replied lightly, who made Xiao Yaxiao his sister, he couldn't make his sister sad.
After hanging up the phone, Instructor Xiao already had an arrangement in his heart, and found the regiment commander as quickly as possible.
"What?" When the regimental commander heard that an unknown number of mercenaries had infiltrated him, his spirit tightened and he almost jumped up, and his immediate reaction was to shout, "No matter what the purpose of that group of mercenaries is, I will immediately stop this game and withdraw those players from the mountain!" β
"No!" Instructor Xiao shouted decisively.
The regiment commander was slightly stunned, and his eyes fell on Instructor Xiao. Don't look at Instructor Xiao's age as old as himself, but he knows that Instructor Xiao in front of him has a great background, and his rank in the army is far above his own regiment commander.
"Instructor Xiao, what do you mean" The regiment leader asked for Instructor Xiao's opinion.
Instructor Xiao replied, "Keep playing." β
"Keep playing?!" The regiment commander's jaw was about to drop in shock, and he glared at Instructor Xiao and said, "But you know that the mercenaries are all murderous guys, and my twenty soldiers are unarmed, if the two sides really meet you, how can my people fight with them?" If something happens again, how do you want me to explain it to their parents? β
"Confess, why confess?" Instructor Xiao asked rhetorically, and continued to preach without waiting for the regiment commander to answer, "To be a soldier is to sacrifice, since their parents sent them here, they should understand this truth!" β
"But," the regiment leader was interrupted by Instructor Xiao as soon as he spoke.
"Besides, it's a great training opportunity for those who participate. If it weren't for the mercenaries who took the initiative to appear here, then they probably wouldn't have had a chance to prove that they were soldiers in their lives. Instructor Xiao continued.
The regiment commander was stunned, he understood what Instructor Xiao meant.
Don't think that wearing this uniform is a soldier, the duty of a soldier is to go to the battlefield, and a soldier who has not been on the battlefield cannot be regarded as a qualified soldier at all!
"They're all young, and a few of them are new recruits, so maybe they're not ready to fight the mercenaries!" The head of the regiment said in a deep voice.
At this time, the other three instructors in the regiment who were in charge of training the team competition players appeared, they were fully armed, directly ignored the regiment leader, walked over and saluted Instructor Xiao and shouted: "Captain Xiao, we are ready, we can leave at any time." β
Instructor Xiao nodded his head, walked over and took his equipment, and while putting it on, he said to the regiment commander: "The four of us will enter the competition area to carry out targeted killings of mercenaries, so as to ensure the safety of those soldiers to the greatest extent." If there is an accident, then I am responsible. β
The regiment commander suddenly stood up excitedly, and shouted: "You underestimate me too much, I'm not afraid of responsibility, I just don't want to see my soldiers make innocent sacrifices!" β
Instructor Xiao said calmly: "No one will die innocently, even if someone really dies, it will be worth it for them." You just have to do your thing and block the entire mountain area to prevent those mercenaries from escaping. β
The regiment commander clenched his fists hard, he didn't like Instructor Xiao's commanding tone, but he couldn't help it, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will immediately mobilize the forces that the whole regiment can mobilize to block the mountains and prevent those mercenaries from escaping." β
Instructor Xiao turned around and walked two steps, then suddenly turned around and smiled at the regiment commander and said, "Those mercenaries are all murderous guys, if you really encounter them, be careful!" β
"You" the head of the regiment was so angry that he couldn't speak, and in the end he was still underestimated.
Instructor Xiao turned around and continued to walk forward, and the other three instructors followed, their steps were as firm as Instructor Xiao, and it could be seen from their eyes that they were all real soldiers who had been on the battlefield and experienced life and death, and they would not retreat even in the face of the most ferocious enemy
