2980 Unprepared
After about five minutes, Xia Jinyuan held the miniature flashlight in his hand. Unsure if it was because he had been biting the flashlight, his deep voice was a little dull. “Vice-Captain, come here and take a look. T6, take over.”
The comrades could rest for a short period of time, but Xia Jinyuan and Li Jinnian, the captain and the vice-captain, didn’t have much time to rest. The two of them needed to discuss the next combat strategy.
“There’s a competition topic called ‘Parallel Rope Shooting.’ I’m not sure if it’s before or after the second sniping zone.” Xia Jinyuan handed the competition document to Li Jinnian. There was a cold look on his handsome face. “Look at the rules of the competition. This is different from the training we had in the past. It’s very difficult.
“The rules require all members to complete it. As long as one person doesn’t pass, the results of the team will be invalid. It accounts for ten points in total. Speed and technique account for six points, and target shooting accounts for four points.
“Now that we’re walking in the lead, I’m afraid our scores will be higher. Next, we’ll slow down a little and see if we need to slow down even more. If not, it’ll be easy. If we need to, we’ll slow down and let the other countries pass first while we fall behind.
“What do you think?”
After asking, Xia Jinyuan looked at Li Jinnian.
Li Jinnian continued reading. The more he read, the more he frowned. After reading, his already cold voice seemed even icier. The route to the second sniping zone was unclear. They needed to find the correct route. Along the way, there were imaginary enemies and 11 blockades… Through these, he suspected that the second sniping zone was farther back.
“Before we ‘complete’ the Parallel Rope Shooting, we might have to rush out of the blockade line. We won’t be able to carry out the second sniping competition until all 11 blockades are successfully resolved.
“Don’t forget the reminder of the Italian special forces. The further you go in the competition, the more difficult it will be. The thrilling and unimaginably tragic combat will even make some countries choose to withdraw. This happens every time. Normally, a country will withdraw from the competition halfway through.
“Sniping competitions have become casual competitions. These survival competitions are the main battles.”
Xia Jinyuan was silent for a moment before nodding. “You’re right. The second sniping zone might be at the back.
“In that case, we’ll be facing a blockade attack next. There might even be referees and military officers popping up halfway and asking if we want hot milk and hot dogs.
“Even the company has set up a trap. It’s impossible to guard against it.”
“The simpler the trap, the easier it is to fall for it. Hot milk, hot dogs… These are not our favorites. If it were Chinese dishes, we might’ve fallen for the trap,” Li Jinnian said in a serious tone that made Xia Jinyuan laugh.
Just like what Li Jinnian said, they had to rush out of the blockades first. Every blockade was especially tough. The Chinese participants later found the correct route, and by the time it was dawn, they had already passed through five blockades.
Five blockades and a distance of 12 kilometers. That meant that from midnight to dawn, the Chinese team had only walked 12 kilometers!
