Volume 1 Departure Chapter 18 The End of the First Year

Ropes are made from these necklaces, which are connected to each other.

In this way, the four people with better physical strength can drag the people behind them to swim in front, and the few people behind only need to keep their bodies from sinking.

In this way, although the four people in front will be under a lot of pressure, the situation will be much better than sharing all the necklaces on the six people.

What's more, the people in the back don't need to swim as hard as they can, so they can wear a few more necklaces!

The biggest obstacle to these necklaces is not the weight of the black ball, but the entanglement of the chain.

That's a good idea!

That way, the mission has a chance to be completed!

Looking at the excited people, Ling An smiled bitterly.

This method, he believes that Ye Zixu must have thought of it before.

The reason why he didn't take advantage of the previous large number of people to bring it up was probably because he didn't want any training soldiers to have a slack mentality because of this, which slowed down the speed of the entire team.

But now, even if you don't want to use it, you have to use it.

Ye Zixu told the next few people his thoughts.

They heard that they could do their part even if they were exhausted, and they all said they were willing.

"But isn't that more pressure on you?" Xiang Qingsong asked worriedly.

He is no longer the arrogant and domineering young master he was at the beginning.

"Always try, it's the only way you have a chance to get the job done." Ye Zixu smiled lightly.

"Everyone, take a break and drink water!"

Each team is allocated ten bottles of water.

On the sea, water scarcity is actually the deadliest.

Because there is water all around, the thirst for water will constantly seduce the training soldiers to drink seawater.

And the sea only makes them thirstier.

But you can't drink water, so along the way, ten bottles of water have already been drunk.

Now the only small half bottle of water hangs on Ye Zixu's waist,

"Here, one bite per person."

Ye Zixu took the water bottle from his waist and threw it to Ling An.

Ling An took it, his throat was indeed a little hot, but he only took a small sip to relieve the symptoms of thirst, and then threw the water bottle to Ladybug 233.

Ladybug 233 took it, didn't say politely, and just took a sip.

But it was only a mouthful, and then it was handed to Ladybug 184.

Soon, when the water bottle returned from Xiang Qingsong's hand to Ye Zixu's hand, there was only a small sip in it.

Ye Zixu was unceremoniously and took this last sip into his throat.

"You're almost rested, let's go!"

They can't rest for too long, otherwise the accumulated fatigue will directly destroy them.

Ladybugs 184 and 233 nodded.

The two of them, Ling An and Ye Zixu, each connected by two necklaces, connected to the four people behind.

The four people in the back had more chains on their bodies - they took the initiative to take two from the four people in front of them.

Eight people in front and behind, forming a small boat!

Without the restraint of so many chains, Ling An felt much better.

It's just that there are a few people dragging behind him, although it is shared by four people, and there is the buoyancy of the sea water to help, but it is still a little difficult.

Bang

The four people who were the "bow" of the boat swam as much as they could, and the four people behind also tried to swim at the same frequency as them after recovering some physical strength a little, so as to reduce the burden on the four people in front.

Thanks to the effect of the strengthening potion in the past year, Ling An and the others have been in the water for nearly four hours, and at this moment, their lips are only purple, and they have not yet lost their mobility.

In this way, the eight of them slowly but surely approached the shore of Cainiao Island.

This is a good idea, but only if the four people in the bow can hold up.

In fact, except for the fact that there was no chain to stop them at first, the four of them swam a little faster, and then they quickly fell into an extremely slow progress.

Call...... Call......

Thump...... Thump......

The sound of breathing and the sound of a violent heartbeat reverberated together, making Ling An'an irritable.

Gradually, the speed at which his arm swung came to a near standstill.

Whoop -

A wave hit his face head-on, making him a little sober.

"It's almost there, hold on to ......"

Ye Zixu's voice was extremely low, and his state was not much better than Ling An.

The physical strength of the four people behind them was about to be exhausted, and the feeling reflected to Ling An and the others was that the pressure behind them was getting heavier and heavier.

Fortunately, Xiang Qingsong and Ladybug 246 were still quite conscious, and they were trying to float their bodies to minimize the pressure on Ling An and the others.

Keep moving!

Soon, another difficulty stood in their way.

Water.

Ling An felt that his throat was burning like a fire, and the most terrifying thing was that looking at the vast sea in front of him, looking at the turquoise sea water on the side of his mouth, Ling An's throat unconsciously gurgled.

No, you can't drink it!

The increasingly clear rookie island allowed Ling An to recover.

"233, don't drink ......"

On the other side, Ladybug 236 saw that Ladybug 233 beside him couldn't help but lower his head and wanted to drink seawater, so he hurriedly stopped it.

His voice was low, but luckily Ladybug 233 was slightly hindered by the pull of the chains.

"I'll just take a sip......"

"You can't drink it, and drinking it will only make it harder for you to stick to it." Ling An took a breath and said.

Ladybug-233 closed his eyes, a visibly grunting throat.

"Go on, there's less than five hundred meters left." Ye Zixu said.

Having said that, I really can't swim anymore.

Mission time is also approaching.

"Captain, vice-team, replace us."

Behind him, Xiang Qingsong and others slowly swam over.

In the past 20 minutes, they were dragged forward by their comrades-in-arms, and the physical strength of Xiang Qingsong and the others did not recover much.

Glancing at him, Ye Zixu nodded solemnly.

A few necklaces were exchanged before and after, and Xiang Qingsong, Ladybug 246 and others took a deep breath and swiped with both hands to break the water waves.

You can't let yourself be a burden, Xiang Qingsong thought.

Hang on!

Half an hour passed, and Xiang Qingsong and others, as the bow of the boat, only let the team advance about 200 meters.

"Substitution."

Ye Zixu, Ling An and the others regained some strength and took over the burden.

The end is already in sight!

On the beach, several figures stood with their hands in their hands, looking at Ling An and the others indifferently.

Ling An didn't know how he got to the beach.

In the last 100 meters, the four people in the back were directly unable to maintain a floating state, and the other two ladybugs, 233 and 236, who were the bows of the boat, were also confused.

It was completely relied on Ye Zixu and Ling An to drag a few people to the beach with their tenacious perseverance.

When Ling An and Ye Zixu struggled to climb to the finish line, and then used their last strength to drag the necklace that had been connected together, they fell headlong on the beach.

At the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, Ling An saw a pair of boots appear in front of him.

"Old Xiang, your ladybug camp is in the limelight this time."

Next to Instructor Xiang, a middle-aged instructor with a scar on his left eye said.

He is an instructor in the Praying Mantis Battalion.

"The little ladybugs are doing a good job." Instructor Xiang smiled.

"It's not just good, the other battalions, it's good to have someone to the end, it's good for you guys, a lot of necklaces have been brought back."

Whoop -

In the distance, a submarine surfaced, followed by one carrier after another.

On board these carriers, there are medical personnel, but most of them are exhausted training soldiers.

As soon as the training soldiers of the ladybug battalion came ashore, some staff members threw them in the cart and pushed them towards Cainiao Island.

"Alright, I'm going to see my little cubs too." The scar instructor of the mantis camp waved his hand and walked towards the other end.

Instructor Xiang turned his back to him, slowly walked to Ling An and Ye Zixu, who had fainted, and touched their foreheads.

"Well done......"

--------------------

When I opened my eyes, some fog drifted in front of me.

"This is, my dorm room?"

Ling An moved his limbs in the water.

This is another vat of a potion of fortifying potion solution.

Ling An was no stranger to this situation, in the past year, almost every time he fell into a coma from exhaustion, he would wake up in the bathtub of his room, and there was a pool of strengthening potion solution.

Whoop -

The color of the water in the bathtub was completely transparent, and the ingredients of the strengthening potion in it had been absorbed, and Ling An simply stood up.

Looking at the time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

"It's a bit overdrawn this time...... I don't know what happened to Ye Zixu and Huaji. Ling An thought to himself.

According to the arrangement, today is the last day of the first year, and the pure physical training will end today.

I don't know what else is scheduled for the evening.

Ling An quickly got dressed, and while wiping his hair, the bracelet sounded.

"The cafeteria is open, please finish your meal by six o'clock, and then follow the map directions to the first lecture hall."

Lecture hall 1?

Ling An had never been there yet.

In the past year, they have been wandering between various training grounds, canteens, and dormitories, and because they are independent rooms with each other, the communication between comrades-in-arms in the same battalion rarely deviates from things outside of training.

At this moment, I heard that a new location would be "unlocked" at night, so I naturally looked forward to it a little more.

Walking to the cafeteria with ease, Ling An did not rush upstairs, but waited patiently downstairs.

After a while, two figures approached.

"002, recovery is pretty fast." Ladybug 067 Xiang Qingsong chuckled.

After that conflict, Xiang Qingsong also really let go of his eldest young master's temper, and Ling An's perseverance also made him admire, and soon, they became friends.

Some people say that a man's friendship is so simple, and a fight can bring the relationship closer.

Ling An was waiting for them.

Ye Zixu nodded lightly at Ling An.

To be honest, since he was a child, except for his brother, Ling An has never admired his peers so much.

In this year's training, Ye Zixu is simply a monster!

Whether it is perseverance, physical fitness, resilience, or wisdom, he is far beyond his peers, even Ling An, who claims to be a strong man, almost desperately can barely keep up with this guy.

"Wait, 233 and 246 and 247 should be soon." Ye Zixu said.

Ye Zixu, Ling An, Xiang Qingsong, Hua Ji, Ladybug 246, 233 and 247, these seven people are relatively close and more familiar with each other.

Soon, Hua Ji and 246 and others also arrived.

"Second brother, I've been waiting for a long time." Hua Ji laughed.

Everyone is recovering well, and the level of medical care on Cainiao Island is also very high.

"Let's go, eat, we're all hungry." Ling An said with a smile.

While eating, Ling An found an opportunity to ask Ye Zixu.

"001, what do you think you're going to do tonight?"

Ye Zixu swallowed the food in his mouth, and then shook his head gently.

"How could I possibly know."

Ling An was a little disappointed.

"However, it may have something to do with the choice of troops."

Ling An's eyes lit up.

Ye Zixu actually knows this?

Ordinary people only know the Glorious Army, but they don't know that the Glorious Army is also divided.

There are actually three kinds of Glorious Army on Mars, and they belong to three troops.

One is the fighters of the garrison troops.

As the name suggests, what they have to do is to garrison their positions and hold the line.

The soldiers of this unit need to be proficient in the use of various defense equipment, as well as the judgment of the battlefield situation, and will also involve the control of mechanical units and the use of humanoid mechas.

The mortality rate of the garrison troops is also not low, but as long as there is no major fighting in the area where they are stationed, there will not be many casualties.

On the other hand, there are guerrilla forces.

Unlike the garrison troops, the situation on Mars is very complicated, and the garrison troops can only do a good job of guarding with the help of defense facilities, but in addition to the places directly controlled by the human fortress, there are still many tasks that need to be carried out by the Glorious Army soldiers in person, in this case, it is often necessary to directly face the alien race, and the strength of the warriors is also higher.

There is a saying that all B-, A-, and S-class fighters came out of the guerrilla forces.

And the death rate of nine-tenths of each fighter after 15 years was also mostly contributed by the guerrilla forces.

Finally, there is the logistics force.

They are responsible for production, technical and logistical support, which of course has nothing to do with the trainees of the Glorious Army training camp.

Because the functions of the first two are different, the training received is also different.

Therefore, after the first year of physical training, the trainees will choose a direction and receive different training.
