Chapter 31: Sailor Training Camp (Part II)
To use a few sentences of online game jargon, the two iron medals in the instructor's hand, but the amount of "fighting monsters and dropping offline" has skyrocketed by 200%, these future pirates who are desperate to form a group copy purely for the sake of making money, in the face of such a small number, and once bound, it will never fall off, even if it is a malicious PK explosion equipment is useless, how can they not be red-eyed?!
"If you want this medal, you have to prove that you are better than everyone around you!"
Instructor Sheri Armand pointed to a pile of sandbags and said, "Everyone's back is one, and run around the training ground for me until you all run over!" ”
Speaking of this, Instructor Sheri Amand pulled out the pistol on his body, shot a bullet into the air with a "bang", and shouted wildly: "Run!" Run! Run! Run! Run! The people who run the fastest and farthest will get my favor, and the ten worst ones don't have lunch today!! ”
A group of trainees heard the gunshots, they exploded the nest, a group of people pounced on the sandbags more than 200 meters away, the fastest group of people rushed to the sandbags, some people desperately picked up the sandbags and ran away, wanting to use this method to maintain their advantages, but some people found that these sandbags in front of them were different!
There are very few sandbags with backpack straps sewn with canvas strips on the back, and although these backpack straps are crudely handmade, they are tough enough.
Relying on the advantage of physical strength to rush to the front, but because of an extra heart, several students who ran forward regardless of whether they picked up a sandbag or picked up a sandbag looked at each other, and they quickly picked out a sandbag with a good backpack belt, and one of the students took out a knife and cut off the backpack belt on the other sandbags with three strokes and five divided by two.
The students who ran behind looked at the students who were easily carrying sandbags and had begun to run around the training ground, and then looked at the sandbags stacked in front of them, and they were completely dumbfounded. All that was left in front of them now was a backpack strap that was half broken, or simply a sandbag without a backpack strap. Even a fool should understand that at the same weight, these sandbags are of course easier to carry on their backs.
"Don't you think it's fair?"
The faint and cold voice of Instructor Sheri Amand drifted into everyone's ears: "That's right, this world is inherently unfair. Look at the lions on the grassland, among them are always the first to eat meat, the middle to gnaw bones, and the last to starve! Which lion have you ever seen complain about being unfair to his kind who runs first to eat meat? The only way they want meat is to catch up with the lion at the front! ”
Listening to the instructor's words, several students bit it, reached out and grabbed the sandbag with half of the broken backpack belt, they first carried the sandbag on their backs, and then grabbed the broken backpack strap with both hands, and after determining that the sandbag could be fixed in this way, they followed closely behind the first batch of trainees as the second echelon and began to run around the training camp.
The last thing left was some sandbags that didn't even have backpack straps and had to be carried into your arms with both hands.
The remaining dozen or so students looked at each other, and a dozen sandbags with no broken backpack straps were quietly piled together, silently reiterating to them the incomparably cruel but incomparably real meaning of the natural law of survival, "the fastest runner eats meat, the middle gnaws bones, and the last starves".
After being stunned for about ten seconds, someone finally stretched out his hand to hold a sandbag, and then slowly ran forward with the students in the two echelons in front of him. Because he had to hold the sandbag with both hands, which greatly consumed his physical strength, the student's pace slowed down significantly after only running a few dozen meters away, and after holding on for another twenty meters, he finally couldn't help but start his first rest.
Seeing this scene, someone couldn't help but say: "He ran so slowly, it was impossible for him to catch up with the person in front." ”
Before the words fell, a few more people picked up sandbags in both hands and chased after the people in front of them and began to run forward.
Seeing this scene, the student who was too smart and was unwilling to try to pick up the sandbag with both hands to chase after him woke up like a dream, yes, they held the sandbag with both hands like this, it was impossible for them to catch up with those students who could carry the sandbag directly on their backs or carry them on their bodies. There is only one Iron Medal, but if they can outrun their comrades who are also holding sandbags, it will be a victory if they don't let themselves fall into the bottom ten!
In the end, a group of people who reacted rushed up, as long as they grabbed a sandbag, they ran forward regardless of whether they were holding them in their arms.
Shi Shaoying has been watching the various choices of the students in a bystander attitude, until the last classmate also picked up the sandbag and rushed forward, he walked over and bent down to grab a sandbag, at this time a big foot wearing leather boots suddenly fell on the sandbag, and then another sandbag was thrown in front of Shi Shaoying, "You have to carry two sandbags." ”
Shi Shaoying's gaze moved up along the leather boots until it collided with Instructor Sherry Amande's gaze: "Why? ”
Instructor Sherry Amand pointed to Peter next to Shi Shaoying: "Did you bring him?" ”
"Yes."
"Since you're two people, you have to bring two punching bags!"
Peter was really anxious, he didn't translate the above two sentences, and protested to Sheri Amand: "I'm a translator!" ”
"I know you're a translator!"
Instructor Sheri Amand said: "If we are now in the sea, surrounded by naval warships and have to hold on to the ships and wait for the opportunity to break through, will you not eat and drink Lazar because you are a translator?" Since he has to take you with such a translator by his side, he must be able to do the work of two people, otherwise, I will never allow such garbage as him to exist! ”
Peter couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he was still racking his brains to try to fight back and protest, when he saw that Shi Shaoying really picked up two sandbags, Peter blurted out: "Ignore him, it's not fair!" ”
Shi Shaoying glanced back at Peter and said indifferently, "It's okay." ”
Peter was really stunned. He really couldn't understand why Shi Shaoying could still be so plain and obedient without complaint in the face of such unfair treatment.
One sandbag is about 20 kilograms, and even if the two sandbags are combined, there is still a distance from the 10-kilometer weight-bearing cross-country run that Shi Shaoying and they often accept. Sandwiching the two sandbags one left and one right under his ribs, Shi Shaoying first took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the air in his lungs.
At this time, the first echelon, which had been running easily at the forefront with the advantage of backpack belts, stopped for some reason.
In front of them appeared a hand-dug mud pond, which was flanked by wooden stakes more than two feet high, and on top of which was a layer of barbed wire with sharp spikes, and whoever wanted to cross the obstacle had to dip their whole body into the muddy water and crawl all the way through.
When the members of the first echelon were wet and crawled through the unbuilt pond and climbed ashore again, they suddenly found that they didn't know why, the sandbags on their bodies were suddenly much heavier, and two of the trainees had not yet put the sandbags back on their bodies, and the backpack belts sewn on the sandbags were torn from the stitches because they were overwhelmed.
Even if the sand is soaked in seawater, it is impossible for the weight to change by such a magnitude. The eyes of several students fell on the assistant instructor who was standing on the side with his arms holding his arms to watch the show, and the assistant instructor did not disappoint them, and lightly revealed the mystery: "In addition to sand, there are also a lot of rotten cloths stuffed in the sandbag. ”
"If you want to become a qualified 'Somali Marine' sailor, in addition to being brave enough to rush to the front, you also need a pair of keen eyes and a heart to be vigilant no matter what you face!"
The assistant instructor looked at the first-echelon trainees in front of him who had at least doubled their weight because the cotton in the sandbags had been soaked in water, and he could no longer find a relaxed expression on his face, and said indifferently: "When you enter the sea, you are both hunters and other people's prey." If you find prey, even if you encounter strong resistance and can't attack, it's nothing, it's a big deal to find the prey again after retreating; But if you encounter a naval warship escorting in the Gulf of Aden, and you are as careless and self-righteous as you were just now, you rookies will become someone else's plate! ”
"Remember, the greatest danger often comes from the corners you can't see!"
During the time when the assistant instructor was speaking, the sandbags on the bodies of several first-echelon trainees were torn from the stitches and forced to stop because the weight had increased dramatically, and they were torn from the stitches, and it seemed that they could not escape this tragic fate.
It was impossible to catch up with the members of the second stage of the first echelon no matter how hard they tried, but they finally took this opportunity to shorten the gap and also chased in front of the artificial pond.
Seeing with their own eyes how the people in front of them stumbled, the members of the second-order team carefully put the sandbag on their heads, supported the sandbag with both hands, let it remain as stable as possible, and then bent their knees, using this kind of action is absolutely awkward, but it can ensure that the sandbag is not soaked in water, and move forward little by little.
If it weren't for the first-order team's rut, they would definitely not use this method that would consume too much physical strength, and even if they were not careful, they would pour mud into their mouths to cross the mud pool.
Except for one unlucky ghost who slipped on his feet halfway and even fell into the water with sandbags, the large army successfully crossed the water safely, and under the unwilling gaze of the members of the first echelon, they proudly threw the sandbags with the same weight on their backs and were officially promoted to the first echelon.
Wrong!
At this time, they were still the second-order team, because there were still two people in the first-tier who were still at the forefront, and they were not given a chance to surpass.
