Chapter 1069: Climbing the Iceberg

Li Tao understood the rules as soon as he heard them. This means that the selection will be stricter and stricter. If no one is selected, the selection will continue.

It is hard to say whether it will be more difficult to stay in the future. He also began to pay attention to it. It will be more and more difficult in such a high and cold area.

Everyone was celebrating. At this time, there were also team members who were silently calculating their scores. How many points were left, which represented how long they could last here.

Well, after this period of trekking and training, Qin Yuan still let everyone rest at noon. They should not be anxious in this place. After all, the cold will make everyone consume more physical energy, so they must replenish energy in time at this time.

Everyone was given quick-heating food to replenish their energy as soon as possible. After eating, they took a short rest and immediately went to the next stage of training. Everyone sat on the ground and ate silently. Everyone knew that the next training would be more difficult.

At this time, Li Tao was eating, but a figure came to his side. He raised his head and found that it was Zhao Xiaoqiang who had a conflict with him before.

This guy had a conflict with him in the third company from the very beginning, because the two of them were in a competition state at that time, and Li Tao did not give him face at all at once, not only in fighting, but also in shooting.

At that time, Zhao Xiaoqiang felt very unconvinced. He began to question whether Li Tao had a problem with his gun, and then questioned whether Li Tao knew the training items in advance. At that time, the two of them had a fierce conflict.

Unexpectedly, by chance, the two were assigned to this place again. Li Tao looked up and looked at the person in front of him. He was very different from when he met him before.

Now Zhao Xiaoqiang is in a very bad state, mainly because he has not eaten well since some time ago. Once the training falls behind, it will affect their food standards.

So Zhao Xiaoqiang has not been full from the beginning to now. To be honest, he has been relying on good luck to barely hold on, but his points have been deducted almost, and at this time he knows that he is about to reach his limit.

Li Tao ignored the dry food in the bag and poured the last grain into it. This time he did not hesitate any more because he knew that eating was the best time. No one knew who would be eliminated in the next second, so he should try his best. He put all his hopes on it.

"What are you doing? Do you want to quarrel with me at this time? I tell you, I don't have time to quarrel with you. I want to participate in the selection wholeheartedly now."

Li Tao thought Zhao Xiaoqiang must be looking for trouble again, including Wang Ming next to him who couldn't help but want to step forward to see what was going on. He knew about the conflict between the two before.

And at this time, Zhao Xiaoqiang actually handed over the bag of dry food in his hand.

"I won't eat anymore. I'll give it to you."

"What do you mean? Are you pitying me or are you trying to apologize in this way?"

"Not what you said. I just feel that I have no hope in the future. I only have three points left now. I will definitely not be able to make it to the next selection. It's better to leave hope to others. Although I don't want to admit it, you are indeed better than me, and we are in the same group. There are only two of us in our group."

Zhao Xiaoqiang felt a little reluctant. To be honest, he didn't want to give up like this, but there were only two of them left in the whole group. They couldn't be wiped out. It would be embarrassing to say it later.

One person had to be left anyway, so he placed his last hope on Li Tao.

Li Tao didn't take the bag of dry food at all, but just pushed it back gently, "I don't need this myself. This generation is enough. You just need to do your best and complete the next selection well."

Zhao Xiaoqiang showed a meaningful smile. He felt that he was definitely hopeless. There were only three points left. If he was not eliminated today, he would be eliminated tomorrow.

So he threw the dry food in front of Li Tao, and then walked over without looking back. Li Tao looked at his back, hesitated, and finally took the bag of dry food.

Wang Ming was a little confused. Weren't these two people competitors before? Why are they sending dry food now?

After all, he was far away and didn't hear clearly what the two were saying. Dalong walked over and ate beef jerky and said with a smile: "Instructor Wang, after all, an excellent person like you has never been in the basic company before, so of course you don't understand this situation. They are just trying to save one person. As long as one person in the whole regiment enters, it will be considered good."

"But why are they willing to give the opportunity to others?"

Wang Ming was relatively outstanding at that time. After coming out of the recruit company, he basically had a smooth journey. In the end, he was directly admitted to the special operations brigade. Since then, he has never been in the basic company. He only has the sense of honor of the team for the so-called collective honor.

So he can't understand this point. Since he can give up the quota to others like this, and he was an opponent before, it is really incomprehensible to him.

Dalong patted his shoulder and told him to watch carefully. These were all learned from the basics.

After lunch, everyone started to set off again. This time, Qin Yuan led them deeper into the mountains. The area was completely covered with snow, and basically no roads could be seen.

Everyone didn't know what the next training was about, so they just kept their heads down and followed. As time went by, everyone had been walking for nearly three hours.

At this time, Qin Yuan finally stopped. He pointed at the iceberg in front of him and said loudly: "Have you seen this iceberg in front of you? You don't have any safety measures now. You only have the ice picks and ropes in your hands. Find a way to climb it yourself." Go up, I'll wait for you up there."

Everyone was confused when they heard this. The iceberg in front of them was naturally formed, and it was almost at a perpendicular angle to the ground. It was so difficult, and there were no protective measures. If there was an accident and it fell, it would be terrible. No joke.

"Of course, if any of you want to quit now, you can. It just saves me from having to take the assessment before. If you want to quit now, you can stay where you are."

If everyone thinks of quitting now, isn’t that a joke? We have finally reached this point. If we quit now, everything we have done before will be in vain.

Basically no one quit, but everyone was secretly thinking about how to climb up. At this time, Qin Yuan also started to demonstrate.

"Before departure, I have prepared climbing equipment among the equipment for you. In addition to ice picks, there are also certain foot supports. These things can allow you to climb up smoothly, but it depends on your physical fitness."

After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he put on his equipment. Everyone watched his demonstration and saw that he easily jumped on the side of the iceberg with an ice pick without relying on any ropes, and then climbed up. The whole process did not involve anything. stay.

Seeing that he climbed very easily, the team members below all breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that with the help of tools, there should be no problem. However, Li Tao's face was solemn and he said nothing.

"Hey, what do you mean? I don't think there's anything wrong with this. It's just that the length is a little higher and it's more difficult than our usual training. Anyway, seeing how easy he is, we can go up."

"You think the problem is too simple. Anyway, be careful when climbing later. Didn't you see that the muscles in his arms are tense? It can only mean that his arm strength is very strong and supports the entire body. "

Is this possible? Everyone felt that something was wrong, and there should be no problem in this situation. He quickly stopped smoking and completed the demonstration. He climbed up such a long height in just 15 minutes.

Everyone could no longer see him at the back, so they finally relied on the intercom to complete the task. At this moment, Qin Yuan quickly took the ice pick and began to slide down the side of the iceberg.

This is really too courageous, without any assistance. If you make any mistakes and get injured on this, it is no joke.

But Qin Yuan's entire operation was smooth and smooth, without any hesitation, and he landed safely on the ground.

"Brother Qin, what do you mean? Can't we just stay down below? It will save you the trouble of climbing up and down."

"Aren't I worried that you two can't handle it at all? The risk factor in this situation is still relatively high. If someone accidentally falls or something, at least I still have something to do."

In this way, other team members also began to try. Today they were constantly browsing the snow-capped mountains. In the process, a lot of physical energy was wasted, so everyone was very tired under this situation.

Just thinking that this was the last training event, he had to finish it quickly. Song Zhitao was organizing the equipment beside him. Da Fei had a wry smile on his face. He felt that things were not that simple.

"Think about how many people can be eliminated in this climb?"

"To be honest, I hope we can eliminate more, at least the number he said, so that we can rest. If we don't reach it, we have to continue training."

Their altitude here is higher than that there, so talking is already a little laborious, let alone that kind of physical work.

Everyone understood what was going on. The entire team was very quiet now, and everyone was conserving their energy. Just like that, the first group of team members began to climb up.

When they climbed, they found that it was not as simple as they thought. Qin Yuan was very fast because he could maintain the balance of his body. The ice surface was slippery, and the ice that had been frozen for many years was also very slippery. It is very hard. If the arm strength and body cannot cooperate, it is easy to lose balance.

Among the first group to climb up was Li Tao. He tried once and finally stabilized. His body began to walk upwards. His movements were a little slow, mainly because he wanted to adjust to the current feeling.

Several other people were not so lucky. They immediately slipped and almost fell down as soon as they got up. They could only try their best to stabilize their bodies and made some mistakes.

There are no points deductions for them now. Seeing as it is their first attempt, he is relatively tolerant. However, as batches of team members begin to climb up, the pressure on the people above is also great.

Everyone saw Qin Yuan doing it so easily before they gritted their teeth and persisted, but when they really tried it, they realized that it was not that simple.

Some team members slipped down just halfway through the climb. Fortunately, there was no major problem with the ice surface, and they did not suffer any injuries after sliding down.

But no matter how many mistakes the team members made, Qin Yuan still did not deduct points. This made everyone feel strange. Is he going to deduct points later?

At this time, he said slowly. "Remind you, I just said that the time left for you to climb up is 20 minutes. It took me five minutes, and you took 20 minutes. This is not too much, right? Some people have already wasted a lot of time."

Everyone realized it after hearing this. No wonder he was not in a hurry. It turned out that he was timing. If he wasted his own time again and again, it would be their own time.

Although Li Tao in Xiangfan was slow at the beginning, he was climbing steadily up now, and the progress was kept at the same speed.

Da Fei's face was a little livid, because he was a little short of oxygen, but the problem was not particularly serious. He panted and hit the ice cone hard on the ice surface.

The broken ice flew directly to his face. "See, we laughed at others' slow progress before, but they were just trying to save their strength. His move was very good. I think we should be slower too."

"That's what I said. Even if there is not enough time, we will lose points or something after we go up. It's better than falling down. If we fall down, then there is really not enough time."

The three people also began to adjust their progress. Qin Yuan looked at the people in front and nodded to show that he was quite satisfied. Fortunately, there were also a few smart people.

He didn't tell them the time before, just to let everyone pay attention not to be impatient, but some people didn't analyze the current situation and walked up anxiously, which would soon waste their energy.

At this time, people below kept falling. They felt that the ice surface was too slippery. It was more and more difficult to climb as they went back, because the ice surface had been smashed into uneven shapes. In this case, they had to go faster, otherwise the ice surface would not be able to support it and the force point would be completely broken.

At this time, Li Tao was getting closer and closer to the finish line. He saw that the length above was only a small section, and finally used all his strength. He climbed up, and when he climbed up, he was completely relieved and fell on the mountain wall next to him.

This kind of training was something he had never experienced before. Just when he wanted to stand up, he found that his whole body was limp, and at this moment, a pair of hands reached out to him.
