Chapter 78: Complete the task (5,000 words)(1/3)
After getting rid of Gray Wolf and the others, Chang Ning determined the direction in the jungle and headed towards the armed police border station that Geng Jihui mentioned.
Rookie Team A had Chang Ning to help buy time, and everyone was able to drive to the meeting point calmly.
The air pressure in the car was very low, and no one thought that Chang Ning could escape. They were afraid that he would be eliminated by now.
As a member of the command team, Geng Jihui felt very guilty. If he hadn't agreed with Chang Ning's suggestion, Chang Ning would not have been eliminated.
Chang Ning faced the siege of more than a dozen special forces alone. No one in the rookie A team thought Chang Ning could escape.
Even if Chang Ning's individual combat ability is the best among the rookies, it still depends on who he is competing with.
"It's all my fault. If I were stronger, I wouldn't have let Chang Ning face the Gray Wolves alone. If the high school team eliminated Chang Ning, I would..."
"Just do it!"
Before Xiaozhuang finished speaking, Lao Pao pushed him down on his seat.
"No, not really. Xiaozhuang is also worried about Chang Ning."
As Xiaozhuang's good partner, Qiangzi quickly pulled Lao Pao over.
"No? Look how he looks like a soldier now?
Let me ask you? Are you a soldier?"
Xiaozhuang was confused by Lao Pao's question. Why was he not a soldier? His military uniform and rank could already indicate that he was a soldier.
"I am!"
"You're not, you're just a common man in military uniform!
You don't have any military honor in your heart. Soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders! They are soldiers of the people and serve the people.
Xiaozhuang, ask yourself, are you a soldier? If you and Chang Ning were in the same situation today, he wouldn't be clamoring to cause trouble for the high school team like you."
Having said this, Lao Pao signaled Qiangzi to release him.
After calming down, Lao Pao said earnestly: "Do you still remember the question I asked you when you were in the recruit company?"
"Remember."
Xiaozhuang didn't know what he was thinking, and his tone was no longer as strong as before.
"This is Chang Ning's choice, any soldier would make this choice.
Chang Ning did this not because of our good relationship with him, but because we are his teammates!
Xiaozhuang also hopes that you can think carefully about why you came to be a soldier and what you will gain after becoming a soldier."
After Lao Pao finished speaking, he ignored Xiaozhuang. Some things don't mean that he can digest them just by breaking them into pieces and stuffing them into his mouth. This needs to be understood by the person involved slowly.
If the matter ends and Xiaozhuang is still like this, then as a squad leader, I hope that Xiaozhuang will retire in two years. Staying in the military camp will only harm others and himself.
"Just say a few words. The question now is how we complete the assessment. Whether it's Xiaozhuang's matter or Chang Ning's matter, let's get through this first.
Otherwise it’s all nonsense.”
Ostrich began to smooth things over and change the subject.
"Hey, the ostrich's brain is thinking very fast today. It shouldn't be so with the size of the ostrich's brain."
The hygienist began to frighten the ostrich on a daily basis.
With these two lively characters making jokes, the atmosphere in the car began to warm up and became less depressing.
After Geng Jihui drove the Warrior off-road vehicle for a while, he ordered everyone to get out of the car and go on foot. Now there are people from the training camp guarding every intersection in the mountains. They drive with such arrogance that this is not like a meat bun beating a dog.
Although the Warrior is an off-road vehicle, I don't dare to really drive it into the mountains. Not to mention whether the vehicle will roll over due to the complex terrain, sitting in the car will shake me to pieces, and the speed cannot be increased, so it is really better to go on foot.
The people of Team A arrived at the agreed-upon gathering place, set up guard posts, and took turns to rest.
The temporary camp was quiet, and everyone was worried about Chang Ning. After spending so much time together, no one wanted their teammates to be eliminated.
After waiting for more than an hour, just when everyone gave up hope on whether Chang Ning could successfully escape, Chang Ning appeared.
"Hey, everyone is here."
Panting, Chang Ning snatched the kettle from Geng Jihui's hand and drank some water to moisten her throat.
He didn't dare to stop along the way because he was afraid that Team A would think he had been eliminated if they waited too long.
Everyone was worried about Chang Ning's safety before, but then the real person appeared and no one reacted.
The kettle in Geng Jihui's hand was snatched away, but his eyes were still wide open and his face was full of disbelief.
If you think about it from another person's perspective, if this happened to anyone, there would be no chance of escape.
But it's not necessarily true when it comes to Chang Ning. This guy can always surprise people.
"Peace is good enough!"
Geng Jihui didn't even want the kettle, and lightly punched Chang Ning's chest.
"I knew Chang Ning was fine. You guys were so distracted all the way!"
The ostrich started chirping again, bragging about how much he trusted Chang Ning.
Apart from his passable sniper skills, the current Ostrich has nothing to do with the future strategic sniper of Langya, and his personality is very out of touch.
"You can pull me down. I don't know who got in the car and made a bitter face without saying a word."
"Hey, you damn hygienist, you're talking about yourself."
"Okay, you two calm down. Xiao Geng, you guys make a plan of action first. I'll take it slow first. I didn't dare to stop and rest along the way, for fear of Gray Wolf and the others catching up."
After Chang Ning finished speaking, he pulled his hat down and leaned against the tree trunk to sleep.
Ten minutes later, Geng Jihui decided to steal the military horse used by the armed police for patrol. Cars cannot be used in the jungle, but horses can be used.
After formulating a plan of action, he woke up Chang Ning and several others, successfully grabbed the military horse and rode away.
Of course, the negotiations between the leaders of the armed police and the high school team afterwards were not on the rookies' radar.
During the training, they were often tricked by the old birds, so this time they treated it as a bit of interest.
With the horses, the rookies moved much faster. Even if they encountered a checkpoint, they would rush all the way on horseback and passed many checkpoints in succession.
The cavalry slowly appeared in the woods by the river. Chang Ning looked at the fast-flowing river and reined in the horse: "Dismount, we have to study the route."
The team members dismounted and tied their horses in the woods to surround them. Several team members spread out and were on guard with guns.
Geng Jihui pointed to the map and said: "If we take the water route, we can get closer to more than 30 kilometers, but..."
"But those veterans must be prepared, right?"
Chang Ning picked up what Geng Jihui had not finished.
Deng Zhenhua rubbed his buttocks and his face was full of pain. His thighs were scratched by the horse's back: "Damn the high school team, he really doesn't want us to have an easy time!"
Chang Ning looked at the map and thought for a while and said: "From the map, we have only two options now: one is to continue on horseback, but it will take an extra 30 kilometers; the other is to launch a raft, which can save 30 kilometers.
I tend to ride on horseback and take the mountain road, because the mission is assigned by them. There is no reason why the old bird doesn’t know the terrain along the way, and it is not safe to take the waterway.”
Geng Jihui said: "I agree."
When the others saw that the two members of the command team agreed to continue walking on the mountain road, they naturally obeyed the order, and there was nothing wrong with what Chang Ning and Geng Jihui said.
Isn't it just a detour, it's better than being eliminated.
"We have to prepare some surprises for the old birds."
Chang Ning emphasized the word "surprise", and everyone immediately understood and smiled evilly.
"There must be Lao Niao's pursuers behind us. In order to successfully complete the mission and make the road ahead easier, I think we should give them some misleading."
Seeing Geng Jihui's great righteousness, he also praised it as "to complete the mission."
'After all, he is a top student and "hypocritical", but I like him so much!'
Chang Ning cursed the hypocrisy in his heart, while actively joining them, enthusiastically discussing how to induce the old bird.
In the end, the novices unanimously decided to chop down trees to make rafts, and then make a dummy. They set up booby traps to send away one or two veteran birds, and naturally everyone was happy.
After doing this, they rode on horseback and hit the road again. The gray wolf suffered a loss on this dummy.
Because of power issues, the rookies let go of their horses and started walking again.
This was very painful for Qiangzi and Xiaozhuang of the assault team. The skin on their hands was worn trying to clear the way.
The blood on my hands now looks extremely scary, and anyone who has never seen it before will have their scalp numb just by looking at it.
"Brothers, we have to hurry up. Without horses, our speed advantage will be lost, and the coyote that Langya is good at tracking is an extremely difficult character."
Chang Ning had suffered losses from coyotes in the exercise and was their instructor this time, so he would definitely participate in the task of capturing them, so he spoke to remind everyone.
"Is it that powerful?"
Ostrich obviously didn't believe it.
"It's really that powerful. Let me tell you, this coyote..."
Geng Jihui began to popularize knowledge to ostriches.
After hearing this, Ostrich turned pale with fright. Their opponents this time were real elites and they were no joke.
