Chapter 494 Desert Army Ants
After discussing the order of duty, all the special forces surrounded the bonfire and immediately began to rest. The bumps along the way made them extremely tired and needed a good rest, otherwise tomorrow's training would be very difficult.
Lei Zhan yawned, looked at the old fox and the others and said, "Be careful at night, it might be dangerous here."
"Don't worry Thor, we are not new recruits anymore, we will definitely not take it lightly." Harley patted his chest and said seriously.
The rest of the people also took action immediately, holding a flashlight in their hands, and scattered around to guard.
An hour and a half later, everyone in the Red Blood Cell Special Forces team opened their eyes on time and replaced everyone in the Wolf Warrior Squadron who was on duty.
There was nothing to do that night, and the next morning, Qin Yuan woke up from his sleep. After simply washing his face, he saw all the special soldiers curled up beside the campfire, and his face was obviously taken aback.
"No, why are you lying on the sand like this? Aren't there a lot of sleeping bags on the military vehicle?" Qin Yuan pointed to the military road not far away.
Hearing this sentence, all the movements of the special soldiers froze, and they stared at the direction Qin Yuan was pointing at with wide eyes.
sleeping bag? There is such a thing? Then why no one told them to just lie on the dry sand and sleep for a whole night enduring the biting cold.
Zhang Shuai looked at Su Xiaoyu and said, "It seems that you are responsible for this.
Su Xiaoyu showed a look of embarrassment, "I thought they would find it by themselves, but I forgot to mention it, who knows..."
All the special forces turned their heads in an instant, their faces full of resentment.
Su Xiaoyu smiled embarrassingly, and was afraid to face the eyes of all the special forces for a moment.
Qin Yuan coughed lightly and shouted loudly: "Everyone is here, gather!"
Everyone immediately looked back and lined up in front of Qin Yuan, waiting for the training order with some trepidation in their hearts. Although most of them came to the desert for the first time, they had heard of the cruelty and hardship here. , dare not have the slightest contempt.
"A thousand push-ups in place, start now."
"Yes!" As soon as Qin Yuan finished speaking, all the special forces immediately dispersed, bent over the soft sand, and quickly did push-ups.
However, it didn't take long before everyone felt the difference between the desert and other places. It was too soft here, and there was even a feeling that there was nowhere to draw strength. Every time they exerted force, their hands would sink into the sand.
This also caused their speed to slow down a lot, coupled with the scorching sun above their heads, in the past ten minutes, all the special forces felt that their physical strength was greatly consumed.
Qin Yuan frowned slightly: "I'll give you another half an hour. If you haven't finished it yet, then go back."
The special forces were shocked, and they didn't dare to hold back at all. The movements of their hands were obviously accelerated, but this also meant that their physical energy was rapidly consumed, and it didn't take long for them to feel weak all over their bodies.
Qin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then walked towards the direction where Zang Chong and the others were.
At this time, the four of them were building a firm gazebo to keep out the scorching sun. After all, this was a desert. Even if they stood still, their skin would get sunburned in a short time.
Soon, half an hour passed, and all the special forces soldiers finally finished their training tasks. They were so tired that they lay down on the sand, panting heavily.
"It's finally over. If I continue to do this, I feel like I'm going to pass out." Harley stuck out his tongue, his face covered with sticky sweat.
"I really want to drink saliva. If this goes on, we'll all be roasted." The little bee said weakly, his throat was burning like a fire.
"This is a desert. The instructor will definitely practice anti-hunger and thirst training. Otherwise, it will be too wasteful to travel all the way to this place." The old fox is obviously more experienced, and he pulled his hat to cover his face. Avoid direct sunlight.
Ten minutes later, Qin Yuan who was not far away put down the wooden stake in his hand and strode towards this side. All the special forces quickly got up from the ground.
"Yes, it seems that your physical fitness is not bad, and you have recovered so quickly." Qin Yuan showed a satisfied smile on his face.
All the special forces wanted to tell him, no, this is all an illusion, in fact we are all very tired, but they also know that it is enough to say this kind of words in our hearts, and we must not really say it, or we will fail. Big mold.
"Let's do the horse stance for another hour, and the movements should be more standard, otherwise you will have to start from scratch."
After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and left, and continued to get busy with the stakes. All the special forces dared not be sloppy in the slightest, and used the most standard posture to set up their horses.
As time passed, the scorching sun above the head became more and more venomous, and even the air was slightly distorted by the scorching.
All the special forces were exposed to the scorching sun like this, gritting their teeth and striding their horses. If it weren't for the cover of some clothes and hats, their skin would have been cracked by the exposure.
"Company commander, they won't be too hot to have an accident, right now, the high temperature is nearly 40 degrees, and with the reflection of the sun, people can't last long in this environment."
Zhang Shuai had a look of worry on his face. He grew up in the military region and had seen a lot of cruel training, but compared to this, it seemed nothing at all.
Qin Yuan slammed a wooden stake into the sand with his fist, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, they are more powerful than you believe and imagine, even if they are thrown here without any preparation, there will be no harm." anything."
Zhang Shuai nodded, knowing that the company commander knew everyone's situation better than him, so he didn't say anything more.
Soon, a ventilated gazebo was built, Qin Yuan wiped the sweat off his face, and said to Su Xiaoyu and the others: "Go and bring some boxes of mineral water over here."
"okay!"
Several people responded, strode towards the car, and soon brought back several boxes of mineral water.
Qin Yuan took out a bottle, took a small sip and drank it slowly, and his eyes fell on the special soldiers who were holding on to the horse step. With his current physique, he felt a burst of thirst, let alone them who had been standing under the scorching sun for training. .
But since they chose this path, they had to grit their teeth and persevere, unless he passed out directly, otherwise he would not make a move.
About half an hour later, everyone finally completed the task assigned by Qin Yuan. Their legs went limp, and they collapsed directly on the sand surface.
Qin Yuan coughed lightly, and shouted loudly, "Come here within ten seconds, and I will distribute a bottle of mineral water to you, otherwise, just continue to stay next to each other."
As soon as these words came out, all the special soldiers opened their eyes in unison, gritted their teeth, and rushed towards this side like crazy, their faces were full of longing.
"Damn it." Su Xiaoyu was almost frightened by this scene, and felt more and more lucky in his heart that he didn't have to go through such a tragic training.
After all the special forces came here with all their strength, Qin Yuan nodded to Zhang Shuai. The latter immediately understood, and led Zang Chong and the others to distribute mineral water.
The people who got the fresh water immediately gulped and drank, and soon there was only an empty bottle left in their hands, with unsatisfactory expressions on their faces.
"It's really refreshing, but the amount is a bit small, and I feel like I'm not full yet." After drinking all the water in the bottle, Wang Yanbing wiped his dry lips, and subconsciously looked at the bottle beside Qin Yuan. mineral water.
Gong Jian next to him handed over the remaining half bottle of water after hearing the words, "I still have some here, share it with you."
"No, no!" Wang Yanbing waved his hands again and again, "Instructor, hurry up and drink up the water, we don't know when it will be available, we have already had enough."
He Chenguang and the others also nodded. Gong Jian used to take care of them from time to time, but now is a special period, and they would not drink anyway. If something happens during training, it will be regrettable .
Gong Jian glanced at them, smiled and said nothing, and quickly drank up the mineral water in the bottle.
After replenishing the water for the time being, all the special forces were about to sit down and rest when their stomachs rumbled. Only then did they realize that they hadn't even eaten breakfast.
The previous training made them so hot that they didn't have any appetite, so they didn't feel hungry. Now after drinking water to cool down, their stomachs growled uncomfortably.
Qin Yuan chuckled, got up and threw several large iron boxes beside the special forces.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but when they saw the words printed on the iron box, they couldn't help but smile wryly.
This is actually a compressed biscuit, the kind that can be used as a brick to hit people.
If it is in other places, there is no problem in eating this kind of thing for emergency, but the key point is that this is a desert, and the body is extremely dehydrated. It will be really uncomfortable to eat this kind of dry thing.
"Give you five minutes to rest before continuing training."
After saying this, Qin Yuan also opened a box of compressed biscuits, and slowly gnawed them with mineral water.
Seeing that even the instructors were treated the same as them, all the special forces felt a little relieved for some reason, picked up the iron can on the ground, closed their eyes and began to chew.
At this time, everyone felt a little regretful. They knew that drinking water would not be so fast just now, and now they are eating dry compressed biscuits, it is really a painful thing.
Soon, five minutes passed, and when Qin Yuan was about to announce the continuation of training, his face suddenly changed, he got up abruptly, and looked straight to the left.
"Company commander, what's the matter?" Su Xiaoyu asked with a puzzled face. It was the first time Qin Yuan showed such a serious face after knowing the company commander for so long.
Qin Yuan turned around and looked at the crowd and said, "Hurry up and pack up, we may have to leave here as soon as possible."
"Ah? Company commander, do you want to dismantle these things too, but this has just been built." Zang Chong pointed to the gazebo beside him.
There was also a look of doubt on the faces of the special forces, but they didn't open their mouths. They were ready to evacuate at any time. Although they didn't know what happened, since even the instructors were so dignified, they naturally didn't dare to be careless.
"What nonsense, hurry up and do it." Su Xiaoyu said to Zang Chong, and then began to quickly collect supplies on the car.
Through the god-level intelligent poisonous bees, Qin Yuan clearly discovered that there was a group of ants with dark bodies, scarlet tails, and bodies about the size of a normal fingernail running towards this side.
According to some previous documents, Qin Yuan recognized that these ants were probably the dreaded desert marching ants.
This kind of army ant colony is extremely large, basically counting in the millions. They cannot build nests, and they are always on the move throughout their lives. Wherever they pass, any living thing will be eaten clean, only at night , will hug into a ball to rest.
Right now, these army ants didn't seem to notice them, so Qin Yuan didn't evacuate immediately, so as not to attract their attention.
However, the next moment, those army ants seemed to have sensed something, and they all turned around, and a large black mass crawled towards this side frantically.
"Quickly evacuate and head southeast." Qin Yuan turned around and shouted at the crowd, then strode towards the car.
The special soldiers followed immediately without the slightest hesitation. At this time, they had already noticed the abnormality. They could hear a creepy rustling in their ears. It seemed that there were dense things crawling towards this side at a fast speed.
However, just a few steps after running out, the originally peaceful desert suddenly squirmed strangely, and then finger-sized black ants came out of the sand and rushed towards everyone frantically.
"What is this stuff!"
Although the special forces didn't know these things, they already felt a chill in their hearts, as if they were instinctively afraid, and wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
However, there seemed to be a nest under the sand surface, and more and more army ants came out. Almost instantly, as if covering a black carpet, they frantically rushed towards the crowd, blocking their way.
Seeing this, Qin Yuan jumped into the car, picked up a barrel of gasoline, poured it all out, and then took out the lighter and lit it directly.
With a bang, fiery flames rose up one after another, and those trapped army ants were immediately burned to dryness and exploded, and a pungent burnt smell came out immediately.
The flames came and went quickly, but most of the army ants that emerged from the sand had been wiped out. Qin Yuan shouted to all the special forces: "Hurry up and get in the car, get out of here!"
Everyone didn't dare to have any hesitation, took advantage of the present opportunity, and quickly jumped onto the car. Qin Yuan immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove forward quickly.
The four of Zang Chong each drove a sandy Hummer and followed behind Qin Yuan. Under such circumstances, if they got lost, it would be a very dangerous thing.
As soon as they rushed out of the sand pile, everyone was awakened by the scene in front of them. The surrounding sand surface was crowded with densely packed army ants, as if a layer of ink had been splashed on it, and the original color could not be seen clearly.
But fortunately, they have a desert hummer with enough power, and they just step on the accelerator and rush up. Even if the sound of marching ants being crushed and smashed is all around their ears, they don't have to worry about turning off the engine at all.
