Chapter 118 Cross-country in the Mud

It was close to noon. Because the rain was too heavy, the morning training ended earlier than scheduled.

At lunchtime, the soldiers in other companies all found a strange phenomenon.

While eating, the soldiers of the logistics company who usually seemed high and mighty had their eyes fixed on a team member who was sitting next to Xu Long. That team member had delicate facial features and looked like a clerk.

That kind of gaze was very strange. It seemed that the soldiers of the logistics company were puzzled, and it also seemed that they worshiped that young team member. It was hard for others to figure out why they would have such mixed feelings.

This also made these ordinary soldiers want to dig out some news about this clerk or find out some gossip, but unfortunately, after lunch, apart from seeing the friendly and polite smile on the young man's face, they found no useful information.

There was a time limit for lunch, so although everyone was curious, no one discussed it by whispering to each other. After all, nobody wanted to be hungry while participating in the afternoon training.

Lu Yao lowered his head and ate without saying a word, but he kept thinking back to the last shot he made just now.

During the last shot, everyone heard two gunshots and Lu Yao did fire two bullets.

In order to report the correct result, the reporter repeatedly confirmed it several times before finally coming to the conclusion that one shot missed the target and one shot hit the bull's-eye.

Everyone team member thought this way, but only Lu Yao knew what really happened.

In fact, the other bullet did not miss the target. It hit another target further away. The reason why others did not discover this was because the rain was too heavy at that time. On the other hand, such a thing was too shocking. If Lu Yao did not say it, no one would think of such a possibility at all.

Of course, Lu Yao did not do this to show off.

At that time, after Xu Long gave the last shooting command, Lu Yao suddenly found that he could multitask and observe two targets at the same time. He could also judge the wind speed, wind direction and humidity for two shots at the same time.

In order to verify his thoughts, Lu Yao decided to make this shocking attempt.

After the bullets were fired, Lu Yao clearly saw their trajectories. He saw the first bullet accurately hit the moving target 2,500 meters away. It was 500 meters farther away than Xu Long's requirement.

But in the end, since the reporter had given such a conclusion, Lu Yao did not explain. In his opinion, this was not a big deal at all.

The elite team did not have time to rest at noon. After lunch, everyone gathered again and headed for a muddy place outside the camp.

This place was very bumpy. Moreover, there were puddles and mud pits everywhere.

At the edge of the marshland were several off-road motorcycles and tanks. Officer Wang stood beside the car.

"This afternoon, you need to drive cross-country motorcycles to avoid the chase of tanks. I will first explain the rules to everyone." Xu Long took the notebook from Officer Wang and said loudly, "You will be divided into groups of two. Each one of you will drive a cross-country motorcycle. At the same time, you need to escape from the encirclement of two tanks. During this process, the tanks can shoot shells at either of you at any time. You must be careful."

"While escaping, you can't take half a step out of the marshland. You have to avoid the attacks of the tanks for ten minutes. Those who can last for ten or more minutes will win!" As the soldiers heard the rules, they were stunned by this new game.

This was simply a dangerous game of fleeing!

"Remember, in the process of escaping, if the sensors you are wearing are hit by the tanks or any one of you fell off the motorcycle, you and your group will fail the test. Those who fail will have to..." Xu Long couldn't help but take a deep breath. He paused for a moment before saying, "The losers need to do frog jumps for a kilometer, five hundred push-ups, and then crawl forward for a kilometer."

After Xu Long finished announcing the rules, he closed the notebook and handed it to Officer Wang. He asked in a low voice, "Officer Wang, who came up with this? This task is so damn difficult!"

"The army commander personally arranged it. If there is a problem, you can go to him!" Officer Wang helplessly shrugged and said.

In fact, after lunch, when Officer Wang received this training plan sent from the army headquarters, he was also shocked. This kind of training had never been conducted in the eighty-ninth army.

The members of the elite team also heard of this task for the first time.

When Xu Long heard Officer Wang's reply, he did not dare to say anything. Since the army commander had made this decision, no one dared to question him.

"First group, Li Kang and Gao Feng, step out!"

"Yes sir!"

"Tell me when you are ready. I will start timing!" Xu Long said as he held the stopwatch in his hand.

A minute later, Li Kang and Gao Feng were riding on two off-road motorcycles. They looked at each other and nodded. Gao Feng reported loudly, "We are ready. Please give the order, Captain!"

"Begin!"

After Xu Long issued the order, the roar of the off-road motorcycles and the tanks sounded at the same time.

Gao Feng and Li Kang each rode on their own off-road motorcycle and began to flee in the marshland. Their driving skills were indeed first-class. In such a wet and muddy place, there would occasionally be deep pits that were more than ten centimeters deep. However, they relied on their excellent driving skills to move forward again and again, avoiding the pursuit of the tanks behind them.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for a heavily armored vehicle like a tank to catch up to cross-country motorcycles, but in this marshland, the situation had completely reversed.

The guns of the tanks could shoot without any blind spots. It seemed like the tanks were moving on the flat ground, and the advantages of the tanks were fully displayed.

More importantly, it was the first time Gao Feng and Li Kang had participated in such training. They seemed unfamiliar and strenuous, but the tank drivers were completely different. It was as if they had already gone through countless drills, and their cooperation was flawless.

If it were not for Gao Feng and Li Kang's superb driving skills, they would have already been defeated in the first minute.

Gao Feng and Li Kang were riding very fast. They kept shuttling and avoiding each other. Every time, they would take advantage of the time when the two tanks crossed their guns. This way, the tank drivers did not dare to fire easily, because it was very likely for them to hit their teammates.

As time passed by, Gao Feng and Li Kang felt like a century had passed. Several times, they were almost hit, especially Li Kang. He was not as physically strong as Gao Feng, and the requirement for the driver's physical strength and arm strength was high. Several times, Li Kang almost slipped and fell.

Three minutes later, they were finally unable to escape the misfortune of failure.

"Rumble!"

The tank drivers gradually figured out the pattern and timing of Li Kang and Gao Feng's movements. When they were ready to use these tactics again, one of the tanks suddenly came to a perfect stop and the other tank decisively fired.

Although the cannonball did not hit Li Kang and Gao Feng, it created a small mud pit in front of Li Kang. Li Kang could not keep balance any longer. He fell off the motorcycle and landed in the mud pit not far away. In an instant, he was covered with mud.

"Gao Feng and Li Kang failed. Withdraw from the marshland and accept punishment!"

Li Kang's falling off the motorcycle caused their attempts to end up in failure.

Although Gao Feng was very helpless, he had to accept the reality. He got off his motorcycle and went over to Li Kang who was covered in mud to help him up and they walked out of the marshland.

"Gao Feng, I'm sorry!" Li Kang apologized for his failure.

Gao Feng did not say anything. He patted the mud on Li Kang's body to show his understanding.

"Next group, Wang Peng and Chen Hai!"

"Wang Peng and Chen Hai failed. Withdraw from the marshland and receive punishment!" Two minutes later, Xu Long shouted helplessly.

"Next group, Zhao Yi and Li Fei!"

"Zhao Yi and Li Fei failed. Withdraw from the marshland and receive punishment!" Two and a half minutes later, Xu Long shouted expressionlessly.

Apart from Xu Long, only Lu Yao and sharpshooter Wang Shi were left in the elite team. After Zhao Yi and Ge Yong failed, Wang Shi stared at Lu Yao with his small but spirited eyes and took the lead to walk to the motorcycles.

"Captain, can you find someone to teach me how to drive this off-road motorcycle? I have never touched this thing before." Lu Yao asked with a slightly red face.

Xu Long had already thought of this problem. He had planned to ask Lu Yao, but he did not find a suitable reason. He was afraid that it would be inappropriate for him to directly assign someone to help Lu Yao. However, now that Lu Yao had brought it up himself, it was much easier for Xu Long to handle it.

"Li Fei, you are the best motorcyclist among us. Go and teach Staff Officer Lu!" Xu Long turned around and shouted at Li Fei, who was doing frog jumps.

Everyone was receiving punishment. Xu Long's voice was so loud that everyone heard him. Wang Peng said to the soldiers beside him, "Staff Officer Lu had never used guns before. But after Wang Shi taught him for less than nine minutes, he broke the shooting record that has been maintained in Xindu Military Region for a long time. Do you think there will be another miracle after Li Fei teaches him how to ride the motorcycle?"

"There is a rule for learning how to use guns. It is a little easier to learn. However, although riding a motorcycle is very simple, it is impossible to create a miracle in such an environment, right?" Although Chen Hai said this, he wasn't sure of the final result. In the end, he was even questioning himself.

"I can't tell for sure. Staff Officer Lu is not a simple person. On the first day, he fought with Gao Feng, and everyone could see that he was very strong. This morning, when he trained, it could be seen that his physical strength and perseverance were also amazing. When he hit the target, he amazed everyone. His observation skills are also top-notch. I think riding an off-road motorcycle is really not a problem for him!" Zhao Yi added.
