Encouraged by his comrades, Keen desperately climbed up the towering ladder. Townsend and Gatsby soon overtook him.
At this time, Keane was worried and anxious. He had been slow to react since he was a child. Under such high-intensity physical training, he could not keep up with the progress. Every time instructor Huffman roared, it was like a drum beat, vibrating his heart. He also wanted to meet the instructor's request, but he really couldn't do it.
A group of Li Feng and Xiao Yi also passed Keen with nimble and quick movements. After seeing this, Keane was very anxious. He didn't want to fall too far behind. He hugged the beam of the iron ladder with both arms to stabilize his body. With his legs trembling a little, he looked for the upper beam, stepped on it to support his body and climbed one level.
Almost 15 meters above the ground, Keane breathed heavily and looked down, feeling dizzy. He felt like he would fall at any moment.
Suddenly, Huffman's harsh reprimand sounded, "You climb obstacles as slowly as a snail! You know what? Keane."
The fear of Huffman temporarily suppressed Kean's worry that he might fall, and his face turned pale.
"Climb up, you're too slow, hurry up, don't block me," Bol complained. He and Nangong Yi teamed up and easily climbed over the top of the towering iron ladder.
After hearing Bol's words, Keane silently encouraged himself. I can't let others look down on me or be laughed at. I must strive for success. Using his last bit of courage, he finally climbed to the top of the towering iron ladder together with Boer and Nangong Yi. At the same time, the devil instructor Huffman was sitting astride him easily, giving Kean an encouraging look.
Boll saw Keane's worried look and wanted to make a sarcastic comment, but was interrupted by Huffman: "Private Slender Monkey, climb down quickly and don't be verbose."
Huffman's words were the emperor's edict in the 7th company, and no one dared to resist. Boer and Nangong Yi did not dare to stay after hearing this.
Seeing Keane still standing still, Huffman reminded, "What are you waiting for? Keane! Come on, turn over!".
Keane looked at Huffman with a pleading face. The fear in his heart surged. He was at a loss at a height of 20 meters. He had no courage to move forward.
Huffman's falcon-like eyes were filled with regret, and he asked loudly, "You just gave up?"
Keane did not answer Huffman directly. Cold sweat began to break out on his fat face, and his eyes began to wander.
"Answer me! Right?" Huffman was trying his best to help Keane go further.
Keen's face actually showed the grievance of a child. Under Huffman's questioning, he ignored him and began to retreat down the original route. He gave up!
Huffman was furious and yelled, "Then give up! You pudgy loser. Get off my barrier and don't dirty it! Now, right now! I will rip off your head and throw it into the desert of death." .
Keane failed to pass the towering iron ladder training!
When Yi Chen and a man named Lalifu passed the top, he also heard Huffman yelling angrily, "I will motivate you, Private Keen, no matter how difficult the task is."
Although Huffman beat and scolded the recruits at every turn, which was very abominable, he did perform his duties as an instructor. Yi Chen gave Huffman an evaluation in his heart. Recently, he has made rapid progress under high pressure like Huffman, and his physical strength, reflexes, endurance, and courage have all improved rapidly.
The location of the 11th Regiment of the 996th Recruit Training Battalion is very good. The dark forest, death desert and Atlantis Sea meet here. The rich terrain resources facilitate the training of recruits.
A 100-kilometer artificial gravel road was built in the dark forest, and the 7-mile long-distance cross-country training was conducted here.
The long-distance cross-country trip of 60 kilometers is a great test of personal endurance and physical strength. If you don't have enough endurance, you won't be able to persist until the end; if you don't have enough physical strength, you will turn into a soft-footed shrimp and collapse to the ground.
The recruits of the 7th company were so tired that they breathed out like dogs with their mouths wide open. Every step he took exhausted the last bit of strength in his body, leaving a clear, wet footprint on the road. They didn't dare to stop, so they worked harder and completed this damn long-distance cross-country.
"You maggots, if even one of you dares to fall behind, we will have to start the cross-country training all over again," the devil Huffman shouted. His voice scared the unknown bird in the dark forest and flew into the dark sky.
Damn it, is Huffman really a devil? He ran the entire 60-kilometer distance with the recruits, and at this time he was still swearing with full force. It seems that the legend that he is a legend of interstellar paratroopers and the king of soldiers is not groundless. Yi Chen even admired Huffman's abnormal physical ability.
Huffman was right next to Yi Chen, supervising, monitoring, and insulting Keen, whose eyes were dull, his expression was distorted, he was walking mechanically, and he was unsteady on his feet, standing up like a corpse.
If Yi Chen hadn't supported Keen with one hand, he would have fallen unconscious on the gravel road.
Keen was a big fat man, and Yi Chen was already exhausted physically and mentally as he rushed with him half-dead. My throat felt like it was on fire, and it was so hot and uncomfortable; my legs felt like they were filled with lead, and every step weighed a thousand pounds.
There were many times when Yi Chen wanted to give up on Keen and chase others alone. Now that he and Keane were at the end of the team, Huffman followed Keane closely, constantly bombarding them with words, without any intention of reaching out to help them.
At first, seeing Keen stopping from time to time to put his hands on his knees and take a deep breath, and then struggling to catch up with his comrades who were getting farther and farther away, with a look of despair in his eyes, Yi Chen felt helpless and helped him move forward together. Later, when the journey became long, Yi Chen couldn't hold on any longer. He thought that I had done my best to be benevolent, so there was nothing wrong with giving up on him.
By coincidence, Huffman retreated from the front team and followed Yi Chen and Keen simultaneously. He didn't blame Yi Chen for helping Keen, he just saw Keen getting angry and yelling when he felt discouraged.
At this time, Yi Chen had another thought. The military is not a team of individual heroes, but a team that values unity and unity to complete tasks. By helping Keane in this way, he unites his comrades and is in line with the values of the military. The instructor is next to you again, so you should behave well. At this moment, giving up on Keane is equivalent to giving up on his comrades, which is a foolish move.
Huffman's casual words can make Boer the temporary company commander, which shows that his words are very important at the 11th regiment base. Yi Chen originally wanted to climb up in the army, and if he performed well in front of Huffman, he might be able to gain some benefits.
With Xiao Jiujiu like this, Yi Chen gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "Damn it, I have to fight for my future!".
As a result, it evolved into a situation like this, with Yi Chen and the oil bottle Keen trudging along together!
"Put your feet on the ground, Keen! Come on, run! This is what you should do. Come on, be faster. At your speed, by the time we get to the battlefield, those cowards from the Fulo Federation will He has already run away." Huffman urged harshly.
Keane, who had been a little confused for a long time, was probably afraid of Huffman deep down in his heart. When he heard his voice, he magically sped up a little faster.
Yi Chen hurriedly picked him up and drove him a little further.
Keen had already exhausted his energy, and this was just a flashback. Not long after, he tilted his head and fell towards the grass beside the road!
Yi Chen hurriedly supported him again, lest this naive fool really fall to the ground and impede his ability to complete the long-distance cross-country project.
Seeing that Keane was so unsatisfied, Huffman yelled, "Are you going to fucking die? Are you going to die next to me soon? Come on, the sooner the better. Are you feeling dizzy, you incompetent fat boy!".
With stars in his eyes, Yi Chen exhausted his last bit of strength and finally led Keen across the finish line of the long-distance cross-country before falling to the ground.
"Ah" Yi Chen was kicked awake by Huffman while he was sleeping.
"Private clown, let's do the last task - passing through the swamp for 5 kilometers." Huffman rarely cursed, but calmly informed Yi Chen.
Yi Chen, who had regained some strength, had muscle soreness all over his body and could not exert any strength, but he had to persevere, otherwise he would risk being eliminated. If Yi Chen wants to find his way back to Earth, joining the army is the most reliable choice.
Anywhere, the army holds the most secrets.
He slapped himself with both hands to cheer himself up, and soon his cheeks became red and swollen.
"Thank you for taking me through a long cross-country trip," Keen said apologetically to Yi Chen.
Yi Chen waved his hands and said nothing. He wanted to save his strength for the final passage through the swamp.
The renovated soldiers of the 7th company are in order and ready to face the final test. Many people saw Yi Chen's red and swollen cheeks and did not laugh at him. Instead, they cast admiring glances at him. Yi Chen's behavior of helping Keen in the most difficult long-distance cross-country made everyone recognize him from the bottom of their hearts.
Townsend, ranked second, shouted to Yi Chen, "Well done, brother."
Gatsby, ranked 27th, joked, "Joker, you are stronger after today. Your battleship pilot girlfriend will definitely like you more."
"Ha ha".
"Gatsby, you have such a clever mind, you want this reason too!"
"Hoho, I also want to become stronger and make beauties like me!".
When they talked about women, the atmosphere among the new recruits immediately became lively, which boosted their morale a lot.
Temporary company commander Bol's face looked a little ugly. He felt that Yi Chen had stolen his limelight. He had always been recognized as the strongest in the 7th company, but today everyone praised Yi Chen. In his eyes, Kean was a fool and should be eliminated.
"Okay. Let's go" Huffman yelled.
The 5-kilometer swamp was rugged and difficult to navigate. The mud was almost up to everyone’s knees, making every step difficult. The adsorption force of the sediment seems to have tied a thousand pounds of weight to everyone's legs.
Fortunately there are no dangerous creatures here. The support troops in the 11th Regiment base have long been flying spaceships and using technological equipment to clean up any potential dangers!
In the end, the main purpose of this project is to let the recruits break through their physical limits and exercise their physical fitness, not to improve their combat skills.
In the last 1 kilometer, Keen, who was right next to Yi Chen, fell headlong into the swamp.
Damn, I didn't plan to help you originally, but now I'm the closest to you. If I don't help now, the good reputation I earned will probably be compromised. Yi Chen vomited in his heart and had to pull Keen up again. Looking at Keen with a muddy face, it was a bit funny, but Yi Chen couldn't laugh because he didn't have the energy to laugh.
"Come, let's take Keen together," the relatively low-key Xiao Yi came over and said.
Yi Chen nodded gratefully. He might not be able to lead Keen out of the swamp by himself.
The three instructors following behind saw all this and smiled at each other, feeling a sense of accomplishment!
Huffman suddenly roared, "Come on, you bitches, swing your elbows and run!".
Seeing that they were about to reach the shore, and with the encouragement of the devil Huffman, the recruits of the 7th company screamed and used their last remaining strength to stumble towards the finish line.
Yi Chen, covered in mud, lay on the edge of the swamp and said to Xiao Yi, "It's finally done!"
