Chapter 852 Snow Mountain Training
Xiao Mao Country has always had its own judgment. They must be attached to the United States. Long Country will definitely not consider it. There were some conflicts before.
During the meal, Qin Yuan slowly drank the soup in front of him and turned his head to look around. Everyone was worried. Many rules here were set on the spot, so he didn't know what the previous assessment was like.
After returning to the dormitory, although Chen Feng was reluctant to mention it, he still talked about the previous assessment, but that was a few years ago, which could be used as a reference for them.
The final assessment was to put everyone on an independent island. They not only had to face the pursuit of the instructors on the island, but also the mutual fighting from the people around them, because there were only six places in the end, which was the annual rule.
They had to fight until only six people were left, otherwise it would continue indefinitely until the end.
In fact, it was really cruel. People from so many countries came to participate in these dozen teams, and only six people were selected in the end. It can be said that this ratio is very low, especially after their elimination selection, most of the physical fitness is several times stronger than ordinary people, and they have to be eliminated among these people.
Chen Feng's eyes were red when he said this, "My brothers didn't seem to be able to come here that year, because when we received the notice, they were told that they had been eliminated in the first stage."
However, these were the rules in previous years. I don't know if they are still like this now. Qin Yuan asked them to prepare first, and there shouldn't be much difference.
The training was the same the next day, but their training ground had been completely expanded. It was not limited to this small island, but they were directly dropped on the snowy mountain after a helicopter rotation, and their equipment was not cold-resistant at all.
The helicopter stopped in the air and the soft ladder descended. The instructor on it kept urging them and shot directly next to them, asking them to jump down quickly.
Everyone was forced to parachute in this situation. After landing, they found that the temperature here was too low, at least minus ten degrees, because the soldiers next to them found that the water in the kettle had been completely frozen.
It was too exaggerated how long it had been, but the instructors behind them jumped down in coats, asked them to put on backpacks, and began to cross the two snowy mountains in front. This was the limit, and they had to challenge it again and again.
At first, everyone was fine, but gradually snowflakes began to float in the sky, and the snow became heavier. Qin Yuan was walking in front without being affected at all, as he was quite resistant to cold.
So he was leading the team, but in the snow, they soon lost sight of the instructors behind them. For safety reasons, Qin Yuan turned around and looked at Chen Feng and the others, took out the ropes on his body, and tied everyone together.
It was still relatively good now, as they were still on flat ground, but once they climbed up the mountain, there would be ice and snow everywhere, and the road would be particularly slippery. In this case, they could only tie themselves together first, using their stability to support each other.
Soon, the people behind them also began to follow their example, turning their heads to look, "Hey, you guys behind better not do this."
The soldiers behind them couldn't see which national team they were from, but they were very disdainful, thinking what Qin Yuan meant, "How can you do it but we can't? It's not you who came up with this idea alone, can't we do it together?"
"No, it's because the risk factor for you to do this is too high. Your strength is not strong enough. Once one person has an accident, everyone will be taken down."
The people on the opposite side were already very tired, and they were too lazy to argue with Qin Yuan, so they walked with their heads down and ignored him. Dalong patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder.
"Brother Qin, they are not kind-hearted at all. Forget it, let's go quickly and go over there first."
Qin Yuan sighed. It was for their own good. They would know when they got up the mountain. Soon everyone came to the foot of the mountain and could see the flags left by the jump. They needed to move forward along the direction of the sign. The instructor didn't dare to shoot at will in this place, because a slightly louder movement could easily cause an avalanche.
Dalong began to feel very tired, but soon felt a sense of relief, because he found that the whole person was led by Qin Yuan because of the tension of the rope. He felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't rely on Qin Yuan all the time, but he couldn't keep up.
Qin Yuan turned his head to comfort them, let them relax completely, and now they had to try to save their energy and climb two mountains. The altitude here was originally high, so they tried to rely on the power of the rope as much as possible. He had no problem.
"The weather is too bad now, and the temperature is very low. You must maintain enough physical strength, otherwise it will be difficult to survive at night. Those bastards will not care about our life or death."
"Brother Qin, but can you really do it? The weight of the four of us is not a joke."
Kuka asked from behind, and Qin Yuan assured him that he was fine. Thanks to Qin Yuan's lead all the way, otherwise he might really be eliminated in the back.
Slowly, the gap between the teams became larger and larger, and the United States was chasing closely. Not only did they follow Qin Yuan and his team at a fast pace, but Qin Yuan's speed was getting faster and faster.
"Damn, what are these Dragon people doing? Why are they walking so fast?"
"Captain, walk slower, our two brothers are still behind, and we can't keep up."
"Tell them to cheer up and hurry up. I always feel something is wrong. These guys want to grab the first place again. I guess where to stay tonight is related to the ranking. Hurry up."
The captain of the United States kept urging the soldiers behind to speed up. Everyone was very tired. In such a place, the thickness of the snow could reach the knees. Every step would consume the body's strength.
Dalong and his team walked more easily because of Qin Yuan's help. The reason why Qin Yuan quickened his pace was that he didn't want the people behind to take the road they opened, so as to avoid these guys taking advantage.
Because the snow was too thick, after they walked over, they temporarily opened up a road. The people behind them were much more relaxed, but Qin Yuan didn't want them to take advantage.
When the Americans reached the halfway point of the mountain, they saw that Qin Yuan and his team were about to reach the top. However, they had only walked halfway and they still needed to climb another mountain. It was really hard to tell the time on this snowy mountain. Qin Yuan could only pick up his watch and look at it. Unexpectedly, the watch was frozen.
"Brother Qin, what should we do now? We can't see the time. What should we do when it gets dark? The instructors didn't say anything."
"Don't worry, let me calculate. When we set out just now, it was just 9 o'clock in the morning. We rested for a few minutes on the way. It took us more than two hours to walk to this hillside. I am quite confident about my time, so it's still early now."
Basically, if they want to reach the top of the mountain, it is estimated to be more than 12 o'clock, so they have to work harder so that they can reach the destination before the sun sets.
Kuka was at the back, looking at Qin Yuan's back in front, and felt more secure and reliable. At this time, a gust of wind and snow blew over. Kuka was standing at the back. He was relatively thin. One of them didn't stand firmly, and his feet slipped and rolled directly to the side. Fortunately, Qin Yuan stretched the rope directly, and no one was affected.
And everyone worked hard and held the rope tightly. No one let go. This one really requires cooperation. If they don't cooperate, they will all fall down. The main reason is that Qin Yuan's strength is very strong.
Kuka was pulled up without any danger. He sat down on the snow, looking at the cliff with lingering fear, "Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I would have fallen down and it would have been a disaster."
"It's okay, we are all brothers."
Dalong pulled the other teams to continue to move forward. This time, Chen Feng arranged him in the middle for safety reasons, so it was not a big problem.
Qin Yuan and his team had a little episode, but they were not so lucky later. They soon reached the top of the mountain, and the team below had a harder and harder time.
Xiao Maoguo also followed Qin Yuan's example and tied everyone together with a rope, but they did underestimate their own strength. At this time, one of the team members slipped and rolled towards the side of the cliff.
They didn't react so quickly, and the leader in front didn't have enough strength. Everyone was exhausted when they climbed to that position, and they couldn't take care of themselves, so how could they take care of others? A chain reaction instantly fell down, and three team members hung on the side.
The remaining team members desperately pulled the rope, but because the snowy mountain was slippery and there was no support, even the three of them kept falling down.
They desperately called for help, but no one paid attention. The teams in front and behind were far apart. Even if there were teams passing by, they just watched the excitement silently and walked away. No one helped.
At this time, the captain of Xiaomaoguo suddenly became ruthless and ordered the people below to cut the rope, at least leaving one person behind to reduce the weight.
Even if the people below begged hard, there was still no way. The second person did not hesitate at all and cut the rope directly with a knife. Only a scream was heard from below, and the person completely disappeared in the snow.
The weight was indeed reduced. The people above worked together and finally pulled the two people up. This was indeed very cruel, but at least the overall situation was preserved. The remaining people were temporarily safe, otherwise everyone would be in danger.
The other teams saw that this was too risky, so they could only temporarily untie the ropes and cut them. Qin Yuan was right just now. Without enough strength, they dared not tie them together.
Qin Yuan dared to do this because he had absolute confidence in his own strength. At this moment, Qin Yuan and his team had already climbed to the top of the mountain and were sitting on it to rest.
Dalong was really thirsty. He was sweating all over his body after climbing up all the way. But with the cold wind blowing on his back, he was so cold that he could only grab a handful of snow and stuff it into his mouth. Qin Yuan quickly stopped him.
"Brother Qin, my water is completely moved. I have no choice but to eat some snow first. I don't care whether it is clean or not now. It's up to you."
"It's not this problem, but you just climbed up. Do you want your lips to be completely cracked? It's icy and snowy, and if you eat this kind of thing directly, it will cause your body temperature to be unbalanced more quickly."
After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he took out his water bottle from his arms and threw it to him, asking him to pass it to everyone and everyone to drink a sip.
Dalong still felt strange, but when he took the kettle, he was shocked. The kettle was warm, so the water inside certainly wouldn't melt. So how high was Qingyuan's body temperature? It was icy and snowy, and everyone was freezing, but he was very warm.
He didn't care about that much. He twisted it open and took a sip. Then he passed it to everyone. Qin Yuan asked them to put the water bottles on themselves.
"Oh my god, Brother Qin, you are so amazing. So much water, are you sure it's okay?"
"Don't worry, my body temperature is very high, so it will melt quickly if you put it on me. Otherwise, we won't be able to get water replenishment and won't be able to hold on."
After they replenished their water temporarily, they started to set off. It can be said that the journey was very difficult. When they reached the end and crossed another mountain, they saw several instructors in front of them.
The instructors in front were all surprised. They looked at the time. These few people were two hours ahead of the expected time.
Those who came early can give priority to supplies, not only tents, sleeping bags, but also food. How can it be said that it is too unfair to the people behind, but now they can only take care of their own team members first. Qin Yuan must have given priority to large windproof tents and warm sleeping bags.
In terms of food, he basically focuses on meat, mainly air-dried beef jerky and rabbit jerky. These meats can supplement them with a lot of protein.
And they also got the only portable gas stove, which at least allowed them to boil some hot water. After choosing their items, everyone started to set up tents nearby. The second country to arrive was Country A, and the United States, which had been following them before, had been left behind.
The United States, which had been leading before, now fell to the fourth place, and it was getting dark. You know, this is on the snowy mountain, so the team behind must speed up, otherwise they will get lost in the snowy mountain.
The supplies became worse as they went back. Although everyone had a tent, there were not many sleeping bags. Qin Yuan and his team had already set up the tent and turned on the stove to boil some hot water.
Dalong planned to go out to find some clean snow. After a while, he walked in angrily, "It's really exaggerated. These people are too despicable. They didn't leave anything for the people behind. They basically took all the sleeping bags. There were only three people, but they took six sleeping bags."
