2983 Battle Of The Strong
The time difference between the participants of the four countries was less than ten minutes. After they arrived, they didn’t proceed immediately. Instead, they sat down and rested temporarily.
After chewing the dry rations, they swallowed a mouthful of cold water. Their faces were distorted, and veins were protruding from their necks. Only then did they manage to swallow the rations and cold water.
This time, the special forces soldiers from the four countries didn’t engage in a pleasant conversation like yesterday. The closer they got to the end, the more obvious the competition between the countries became. The competition between the strong became more and more obvious.
After a day and a night, the difference in strength could be vaguely seen. The participants who could appear at this time could be said to be special forces soldiers with a certain level of strength.
The Italian and American teams were still very friendly to the Chinese team members. When the American soldier who had met Ye Jian at the sniping competition saw her, he didn’t stand up but raised his tired and sore hand to greet her.
The rest of them smiled and waved their hands. They were too tired. Besides resting, they didn’t want to do anything else.
Xia Jinyuan finished two compressed biscuits and drank a few mouthfuls of cold water. His stomach felt a little bloated. He looked around calmly and said to his comrades, “We still need to delay a little more. We’re ranked third in terms of time now. Later, we’ll have to be ranked fourth…
“The scores are not out yet. Let’s stabilize them first! In terms of strength, the participants from the United States and Italy should be the top two. Next is Estonia and the country from Great Britain.”
A short rest also required constant communication and analysis of the situation.
These were all exchanges between the main members and the captain and vice-captain. The rest of the team members just needed to listen quietly.
“The Americans are on the move.”
Ye Jian’s clear voice interrupted their conversation. They raised their heads at the same time and looked at the three ten-meter-long ropes in the air. Then, they looked at the eight American participants who were standing in a line. They started to check the pistols in their hands.
Later, they would need to use their pistols to complete the target shooting.
There were strict rules for this. The members had to grab the suspended rope with one hand and move forward quickly. They had to hold the pistol in the other hand and shoot at the targets that were 20 to 40 meters away.
The danger of this competition was that… if the team members let go of the rope, they would fall down the mountain and die.
That was because the three ropes were suspended between the two mountains!
This was indeed terrifying!
That was why Xia Jinyuan said that this ‘Parallel Rope Shooting’ competition was a little different from the domestic training. That was because when they were training in the country, there were suspended ropes between the two buildings. At the same time, there was a protective lock on their bodies. Even if they didn’t hold the rope tightly, they wouldn’t fall.
However, there was no protection lock here. They had to rely on their own strength to complete the course!
The American soldiers started moving their hands and legs. They kicked their legs and swung their arms to relax their sore muscles. They rested for half an hour, and their stamina had recovered a lot. They could almost complete the competition.
Their expressions were serious. There was no smile on their faces. As they started, the atmosphere became tense.
The referee and the military officer walked in front of them. Their cold voices once again confirmed if they were ready. They said, “If anything happens, it’ll be considered a sacrifice. It’ll have nothing to do with this competition. Are you really ready?”
The American side replied to the referee and the military officer with an ‘OK’ gesture.
