Chapter 66: Army Competition (1)

I was stunned for a moment and said in a distracting way: "No, you're pretty good."

Actually, I do think she is a bit clingy. I feel strange in my heart after having too much contact with her. This is different from what Zhong Jie gives me. I at least treat Zhong Jie as my sister. I am quite close to her in my heart, but Ye Xiaoyan is at most a good friend of mine. Moreover, due to her father, I am more afraid of having too much contact with her.

Ye Xiaoyan said aggrievedly: "You ignored me that afternoon. Did I do anything wrong? People just want to have a happy tour!"

After saying that, my eyes turned red. When I saw that her tears were almost dripping, I felt a little distressed in my heart. I said:

"Don't you do this! I'm a bit bored and don't like to talk. I'm the same for everyone."

Ye Xiaoyan asked, "It's the same with your girlfriend?"

I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't expect her to ask such a question. I stammered for a long time but didn't say anything.

Ye Xiaoyan sighed and said softly:

"Forget it, I won't ask, let's go back! Otherwise, you should be late!"

I nodded silently, waved to stop a taxi and drove to the guesthouse where we lived. Along the way, Ye Xiaoyan changed her lively and cheerful afternoon, sat without saying a word, frowned slightly, and I sat beside her in embarrassment, and she didn't say anything, but the scene was too awkward.

At this time, the taxi driver turned on the radio. Suddenly, a burst of melodious music came from the car, which finally broke the awkward and quiet scene. I let out a gentle breath, leaned against the back seat and closed my eyes to rest.

When he arrived at the guesthouse, Ye Xiaoyan said:

"Company Commander Lu, you go back first, I'll sit down for a while..."

I opened my mouth but still didn't say anything. I just nodded and walked upstairs to my room.

I pushed open the door, Xiao Qingyu was still sleeping with his head covering, and didn't know if he got up to have supper. I poured myself a glass of water, sat down gently in front of the window, and looked at the traffic outside the window, my mood suddenly became very messy, and I had no psychological burden for tomorrow's competition. However, Ye Xiaoyan appeared in my sight again, which made me unable to calm down. I knew she was a good, to be precise, a very good girl. Although I had no indecent thoughts about her, I thought how big a blow it would have to do to her if her father collapsed in the future! An idol in my mind collapsed in an instant...

I sighed, came to my bed and lay down, my eyes wide open, looking at the ceiling in a daze.

I don’t know how long it took, and there was a knock on the door outside the door. Xiao Qingyu was still sleeping. I ran over and opened the door. It was a deputy chief of staff who led our team to participate in the competition. When he saw that both of us were in office, he handed us a schedule for the competition that would start tomorrow, and then went to other rooms to check people.

I returned to the bed with the schedule and started to look around. The competition lasted for two days. On the first day, all the participating officers and soldiers had to complete a 10-kilometer cross-country run with a weight of 30 kilograms in the morning, and in the afternoon, the top ten players could get certain points. The second day was some other events, such as the long-range and accurate throwing of grenades, 400-meter obstacles, and the top ten players also received points. What made me smiled knowingly was the finale of the entire competition - shooting. The shooting event set a two-hundred-meter distance Type 95 automatic rifle shooting, and there were also shooting of active targets. The two scored on average, and they also ranked in the top ten.

The next morning, on the playground of a certain unit, the 2005 military joint course competition of the Chinese People's Liberation Army xx Army Group kicked off in the mighty and majestic PLA march. After the leader of the group army delivered a brief speech, all the participating officers and soldiers brought their equipment weighing 30 kilograms and were transported by military trucks to an unknown hill in the suburbs of Xiamen.

There were already full of guarded soldiers here. As soon as we got off the car, we were asked to gather in front of the starting line to check the officer's certificate or soldier's certificate, we began to prepare ourselves. I looked at the guarded soldiers along the way and the staff who served as competition supervisors and said to Xiao Qingyu in a low voice:

"Don't think of any wrong ideas or shortcuts in a while!"

Xiao Qingyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, company commander, I, Lao Xiao, are not that kind of person!"

I nodded and said, "Well! Remember, after the run starts, we will take care of each other, but be careful not to be affected by others. In each competition, some companies will send soldiers who deliberately disrupt the rhythm. They will not compete for rankings. They will only drag down some strong opponents at the beginning or at the mid-range speed, so we will drag down some strong opponents and create conditions for other players in our unit. So later we will run at our own pace and decide whether to lead the way depending on the situation!"

Xiao Qingyu nodded and said, "Yes!"

With the gunshot of the military staff, two or three hundred people rushed out. The whole trip of the off-road was a mountain road, and everyone was carrying thirty kilograms of equipment, which was a huge test for everyone's physical strength and perseverance.

We have eye-catching marks on the route we are moving forward, and there is a warrior every other section, so there is no need to worry about running the wrong way. At the beginning, Xiao Qingyu and I adopted the following tactics we are used to. No matter how the people at the front change their speed, we are not moved. In fact, the veterans all know that the people at the front are victims now. After the competition has been held for a while, they will slowly fall behind. The only purpose of their lead now is to disrupt the rhythm of the followers behind. As long as this goal is achieved, they will complete the task.

The mountain road was undulating and exhausted. Everyone was sweating profusely after running for a while. At this time, we were getting farther and farther away from the soldiers in front, but Xiao Qingyu and I were all relaxed. If they could run down the ten-kilometer mountain road at the current speed, we would admit that we would lose. However, there were really a few soldiers with not very experienced who were trying their best to lead with them. I saw the military staff on the side of the road chasing someone and shook their heads.

No one spoke. At this time, saying one more word will consume more energy. Each of us represents our own company, and we all put in all our efforts to win glory for the company.

On the mountain road, you can only hear the heavy breathing, the messy footsteps, and the "empty" sound of heavy backpacks and the impact of the back. Some people have already started to fall behind. Although they all want to persevere, everyone has different physical fitness after all, and only one person wins the first place in the end.

There are still many talents in the group army. I saw several soldiers running three or four kilometers, and their expressions were still very relaxed. At a glance, I knew that they often received such long-distance raid training. Xiao Qingyu and I were in good condition. Naturally, I had no problem. I felt that my physical reserves were sufficient. Of course, thanks to the training in Shadow, Xiao Qingyu looked relatively relaxed. After all, I ran less than half of them now.

I saw that several "cannon fodder" soldiers were slowly falling behind, and there were also several fooled soldiers who were behind with them. It was time to change the pattern. I gave Xiao Qingyu a wink, and the two of us began to accelerate quietly. Slowly, our position went from the tail of the team to the team. After a period of time, we gradually approached the real first group.

The mountain road is not very wide, the team is long, and it took a lot of time to surpass us. When we entered the First Group, the eye-catching sign on the road told us that we had passed seven kilometers and the remaining three kilometers was the key. When I saw that Xiao Qingyu seemed to have enough energy, he led him to continue to accelerate in the First Group.

We gradually approached the first position. At this time, the player who had been leading the way looked back at us and began to accelerate. A series of surpassing made Xiao Qingyu's breathing a little rapid. After all, we rushed directly from the end of the team. I made a quick decision and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​surpassing the first place. I said to Xiao Qingyu:

"Xiao Xiao, you can hold on to the third place, and I am responsible for surpassing the first place!"

Although I was a little unwilling to give up, Xiao Qingyu, who was willing but not strong enough, nodded panting. He had no extra strength to speak anymore. The thirty-kilogram backpack was of course much heavier than the one he was in during normal training. I gritted my teeth, accelerated forward, and tightly bit the first-place young man.

The two of us gradually widened the distance between us and Xiao Qingyu. I looked back and fortunately, the physical fitness of the players behind us was almost at the limit, and they were not able to surpass Xiao Qingyu for the time being. He gritted his teeth and persevered in the third place.

I sighed in my heart: Our army is really hidden! This young man's physical fitness is not far from the requirements of the shadow team.

When I thought of the shadow group, my heart suddenly moved. Yes, our army is so big, we must have a shadow group. The young man in front of me is very likely a member of the shadow group. I was not surprised because I was not surprised to run first place. What surprised me was that his current state was obviously not yet used all his strength. From his relaxed steps, I could feel that his physical fitness was the same as mine, and it was far from reaching the limit.

I followed the team members in front for about a kilometer, then looked back and saw that Xiao Qingyu had already fallen far behind us, and it was almost impossible to catch up. Xiao Qingyu and I had to give up the plan to lead the way alternately.

Thinking of this, I accelerated my pace and wanted to surpass the player with super physical strength in front of me. He obviously discovered my intention and his pace suddenly accelerated. We were chasing on the mountain road with heavy backpacks, and we were chasing me around me with physical strength. This time, I also consumed a lot of money.

I felt my breathing start to get a little messy, and the young man was still half a position ahead of me. I quickly urged the dragon breath, adjusting my breathing while running, while gritting my teeth and continuing to speed up. A warrior next to me looked at the two of us with a surprised look. Maybe he had never seen someone running ten kilometers of cross-country with a weight, and he could still run at this speed in the last one or two kilometers!

I was almost parallel to the young man, and I could clearly hear his heavy breathing sound - he could not hold on. In contrast, I took a lot of advantage. When I was in poor physical fitness, there was a dragon breath to help me recover my energy. When my breathing couldn't keep up, I could even use my internal breath to adjust.

We almost ran side by side, and my speed was faster than the limit - I was worried that if I accelerated, my meridians would not be able to stand it. I secretly admired the young man's toughness, and became more and more certain that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

When the sign on the roadside told us that there was still a distance of 500 meters, I had already seen the staff on the finish line from afar. I gritted my teeth and moved the dragon breath to the extreme. Suddenly, I felt that my body had become much lighter. My hands swung rapidly, and my speed suddenly increased at that moment, pulling the unexpected young man down a meter or two. This was the largest distance between us after I caught up.

While I kept my speed and rushed forward, I glanced back and saw that the young man had all his veins and was trying his best to chase me. Naturally, he would not be willing to lose to me before the finish line.

I turned my head, ignored the pursuers behind me, and completed my sprint wholeheartedly. I watched the finish line get closer, but I felt that the young man never gave up and kept chasing me not far behind me.

Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters... Finally, I crossed the finish line at high speed while the staff was stunned. The young man behind me was only less than two seconds slower than me. The ten-kilometer heavy-bearing cross-country, the difference between the first and second places was so short, which shows how tragic the competition between us was!

This is the first time since the shadow training ended, I have consumed so much physical fitness. In the past, I didn’t need to do my best to easily get the first place. This time the appearance of this young man made me feel a little worried, who was originally confident and determined to win the gold medal.

I slowed down slowly, and finally stopped, gasping for breath. At this time, the young man came over and he was gasping for breath. He stretched out his hand to me, no one was watching, and he whispered:

"My name is Li Xilou. I have seen your photos in the internal information. You are really worthy of your reputation!"

I shook hands with him and said with a smile:

"Everyone! Everyone is okay!"

Li Xilou nodded and said nothing more. I naturally knew the discipline and did not ask more questions. We relaxed our muscles and sat down on the spot to rest.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, we saw Xiao Qingyu's figure. After crossing the finish line, he collapsed to the ground almost immediately. The staff rushed over and helped him up and walked slowly near the finish line. After such intense exercise, you cannot stop all of a sudden, as it may even cause a sudden stop in the heart.
Chapter completed!
