Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 200 Sudden changes, elimination and elimination (5K please subscribe!)

Of course, this was only the first day, and Xia Yu estimated that more than half of them would be eliminated on the second and third days.

For this reason, he specially rented a Bell 206, which could bring people back as quickly as possible.

The cursor on the tablet showed the position of each person. After landing on the ground, they rolled to remove the impact, and then quickly retracted their umbrellas and stuffed them into their backpacks.

The parachute is also part of the load, and it will be eliminated if discarded casually.

Everyone looked around, took out their assigned handheld GPS, and checked their real-time location against the map.

There are more than 20 large and small deserts in Qingdali, and Perth is even surrounded by deserts. Fortunately, there is an oasis at the end of the desert and a swamp on the sea side.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

Hans was very interested in the selection of combat employees, but he was unwilling to participate.

"Let's start grouping together. It's the right choice."

Xia Yu said, pointing to the cursors that were close to each other on the tablet.

The power of a team is definitely stronger than that of an individual, especially in a wild environment. Of course, there are also mavericks.

A total of 19 people were divided into 3 groups as quickly as possible. Except for 1 sniper and 2 commandos who chose to go alone, the remaining 16 people chose to stay together.

They are now on the edge of the desert. After confirming their direction, they advance to the west. They have to walk 20 kilometers to get out of the desert. They cannot relax at the beginning of the selection.

"This MotherFxxk sun, it's so hot in this desert. Fortunately, it's getting dark soon."

Someone started complaining.

Swearing is a culture in many countries' militaries. It can release stress and make everyone nervous during selection.

"Save your energy and think about today's dinner and whether you have enough water."

With only 1 liter of water, that can't sustain the desert.

Unable to watch the live broadcast, Xia Yu put down his tablet and went about his own business.

Like studying his birthday present, the Hotworth rifle.

The employees said they ate beef every day and wanted to change their taste, so of course the boss had to do it himself.

Xia Yu planned to go out to hunt a wild goat and cook a pot of Chinese mutton soup for everyone while he was not too busy now.

As for whether wild goats that have not been castrated will be very naughty, in fact, farmed goats are not castrated in the first eight months, so just castrate a smaller one.

He initially wanted to use the M30 given by Hans, but Xia Yu is now more interested in the front-loaded sniper rifle.

After shooting dozens of rounds at the shooting range, he felt somewhat confident.

"Mongoose, let's go hunting."

After taking the equipment, Xia Yu called to Hans.

He didn't expect Hans to hit anything, mainly because he lacked a strong man to carry the prey.

I have been helping my sister pick up rabbits since elementary school, then helping my colleagues carry wild boars, and now helping my boss carry goats is no big deal.

Getting out in a pickup truck, they headed toward a nearby canyon.

Bite open the wrapping paper of the fixed ammunition with your teeth, pour the black powder particles inside into the barrel, then wrap the hexagonal bullet with a greased gasket and insert it into the barrel of the gun, and compact it with the ejector rod.

Finally, put the flash cap on the gun and you can fire it smoothly.

However, the barrel had to be cleaned of gunpowder residue after every two shots, so he would only fire two shots today.

"Bang~~"

Aiming into the distance, Xia Yu pulled the trigger.

The sparks generated by the flash cap ignited the black powder, and the expanding gunpowder gas pushed the 34g bullet out of the gun chamber.

"Crack~~"

300 meters away, the head of a hare chewing hay exploded.

In the hands of Lao Yu, rabbit heads are a delicacy, but in the hands of people like them, they are just kitchen waste, so it is not a pity to break them into pieces.

"Wow~woof~~"

Dahei rushed out and returned to Xia Yu with the rabbit leg in his mouth.

He hunted hares just to feel good, and wild goats were the main dish today.

"Bang~~"

At the same time, nearly 70 kilometers away on the edge of the desert, the M82 sniper rifle also fired its first bullet.

In the distance, a wild camel ran tens of meters away in fear, and then fell down weakly.

An uncalibrated gun can also be used for hunting, you just have to choose a bigger target.

The native species in Qingdali Ya are generally small, but they do not include exotic species such as camels.

After taking off their backpacks and putting down their guns, everyone rushed towards today's dinner and dragged back the wild camel that had just turned one year old.

"Crack~~"

Asking someone to help, he took a Polaroid photo of his back and the wild camel. The bearded sniper signaled that everyone could start.

"The best roasted camel I've ever tasted was in Lebanon, but it was too labor-intensive. It took seven days to slow-roast it."

Putting down the camera, he pulled out the BUCK 88\USA (M188) bayonet matching the F9 rifle from the scabbard. The guy taking the photo of the sniper was talking and gesticulating, as if he was thinking about how to start.

"We don't have that much time. We only have two hours at most to fill our stomachs and prepare food for tomorrow."

Another member of the group said, looking at his watch.

"After eating, rest for at most 5 hours so that you can get out of the desert before noon."

"Then what are you waiting for? Get ready to light a fire and start roasting. There is a spindle tree over there. You two go and fill everyone's kettles."

The man with the knife cut open the wild camel and cut out all its internal organs.

Compared with the Sahara in Afika and the Taklimakan in China, the desert in Tucheng can only be considered an easy difficulty.

There is a kind of spindle tree nicknamed the bottle tree growing here. In the tropical rainforest with distinct rainy and dry seasons, it can store 2 tons of water. In the arid desert, the water storage capacity instantly drops to 40 to 50 liters per tree, but it is still life-saving. water source.

The special forces of most countries teach survival courses to soldiers, and as long as you listen carefully, you can drink water now.

Everyone sat around the fire, stringing meat skewers with reed poles and roasting them on the flames.

When it's almost cooked, season with the black pepper, salt, and sugar included in the individual soldier rations.

If conditions permit, it is natural to eat well. Teamwork brings them a meal that is not a sumptuous meal, but at least it can supplement the caloric consumption of the long journey.

The three who were alone were in much more trouble. Except for the sniper who hunted a camel, the remaining two only caught a few mice.

Rats also have meat, and they eat it as if they were extremely hungry.

"Hey guys, we're probably going to be colleagues in the future, why don't you introduce yourself?"

After finishing the meat skewers in his hand, the brother who had just cut the meat with a knife spoke.

"Then I'll go first. My name is Mariano. I'm from Italy. You know how low wages are in southern Italy. Anyway, I can't even pay the rent."

Mariano said with a sigh.

His pride did not allow him to join the gang, so he was forced to go abroad to work.

"Ajlan, the three of us are all from Marais."

The Asian man took the other two people and introduced them together.

"Rob, Master Cana, I would like to change the environment. The climate in Yukon is too cold."

There are 6 people in the group, 5 of them have been introduced, and only the sniper who talks the least has not yet introduced himself.

"My name is Paul, I come from Ruschukotka."

Chukotka and Alaska are separated only by the Bering Strait, and the latitude and climate are not much different from those of Yukon in Ghana.

Although the salary level in Chukotka, which is even higher than Ningupa, is higher than that in Mosche and St. Petersburg, there is still a big gap between the monthly salary of more than [-] US dollars.

The generous remuneration attracts these experts to gather here, just to join the fire defense.

Except for Paul, the other five people in this group are all competing. They compete with 5 other people for 11 places, and 4 people are destined to be eliminated.

Mariano said they might be future colleagues, but the chances of everyone getting out together were also high.

When they thought of this, everyone lost the desire to talk.

They put their heads on their backpacks and prepared to sleep. Five hours was enough for them to recover, but some people were not so lucky.

"Beep~beep~beep~~"

Xia Yu, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sound of the alarm, and someone sent out a distress call.

"It's too fast!"

Xia Yu yawned and picked up the radio.

"Call the glider and prepare to take off to pick up the people. The specific coordinates are..."

"Yes!"

After ending the communication, he woke up Sergey again and asked him to find someone to go and see with him.

After closing his eyes again and listening to Bell 206 take off and leave, Xia Yu fell asleep again until more than ten minutes later...

"Call the boss, this guy was bitten by a snake, we are rushing back."

The radio rang again, and everyone suddenly woke up.

Good guy, it turns out he was bitten by a snake.

Xia Yu immediately got up, put on her clothes, and took a flashlight to look for Liv.

Although I haven't joined the job yet, I can't let people come to the interview properly and then send me back. "Liv, wake up quickly. One of our candidates has been bitten by a snake. The glider is bringing him back. He will be there in a few minutes."

It’s less than 70 kilometers, which is pretty fast for a helicopter.

"Understood, I'll get up now."

Liv touched the hair tie and tied up her messy hair.

She was anxious but not panicked. It had been almost a month since she joined the fire defense, and she had waited for her chance to show off.

He opened the small refrigerator in the room, dug out the antivenom from a pile of plasma, put it in his medical kit and slung it over his shoulder.

"Wow~Wow~~"

There was the sound of propellers outside the window, and they were back.

Sergey carried the bitten guy down on his back and set out to bring a stretcher, but the bite of a poisonous snake kept the wound at or below the level of the heart, so it would be better to carry it on your back than to lift it.

"Where's the snake? Did you bring the snake back?"

Liv quickly stepped forward, initially checked the condition of the bitten person, and immediately asked Sergey.

When dealing with a venomous snake bite, the most important thing is to identify which type of venomous snake it is.

"Bring it back, here it is."

Nikolay pulled a large yellow-brown snake with a flat oval head from the helicopter.

"This guy was so unlucky. He nailed one to death with a bayonet. Little did he know that a male and a female were mating, and there was one coiled underneath. He let down his guard and was bitten."

Qualified special forces soldiers are on guard against venomous snakes, but who would have thought that he would encounter two at once. Maybe he wanted to taste whether the snake tasted like chicken, but he ended up being poisoned.

"Fortunately, the poisonous nature of the Western Cobra is only fatal in severe cases. He also performed self-rescue before comatose."

Liv grabbed the snake's head and confirmed the type of venomous snake as quickly as possible.

The unlucky guy kicked off his boots and used a paracord to strangle his bitten calf, which bought them time to rescue him.

The will to survive is quite strong, but I was just unlucky and was eliminated on the first day.

Liv opened the medical kit and got busy. First, she extracted 0.1ml of anti-cobra venom serum, diluted it with isotonic saline to 1ml, and then injected 0.1ml of it. This was a skin test.

A few minutes passed, and I saw that this guy's arm was red.

"This, is this an allergy?"

Xia Yu knew that foreigners were allergic to everything, but he didn't expect that it would be so easy to become allergic, even after taking antivenom.

"Trouble, the skin test is positive, but even if you are allergic, you still have to take the shot."

Liv said firmly.

As the only clear and effective antidote, antivenom will continue to be used with anti-allergy support.

The method is to perform desensitization infusion and establish dual intravenous channels.

Without a battlefield ambulance, Xia Yu might kill someone even if he prepared antivenom. But with professionals, the situation would be different.

Some diphenhydramine, some dexamethasone, some hydrocortisone, all in a combination that no one could understand, and dripping intravenously.

Until this guy developed symptoms of purple sweetness, thready pulse, decreased blood pressure, and low pulse pressure.

"Anaphylactic shock!"

Although the patient remained comatose, this was a symptom of anaphylactic shock.

Liv was always on guard, so she immediately inserted the 0.1% epinephrine injection into his neck and injected it intramuscularly.

The symptoms of anaphylactic shock were visibly relieved, and breathing gradually stabilized.

"Look, this is my sister, my sister."

Hans, who came to eat melon, proudly introduced it to Anton and the others.

No one knows this, so he is just showing off.

There is no other way, just let him show off. After all, if they get injured, they can only count on their sister.

"Okay, let's send him to the hospital for observation for two days. He should be fine."

Liv wiped the sweat off her forehead and said with relief.

This is first aid treatment, like the treatment of a poisonous snake bite, and follow-up observation is also necessary.

Sergei and Nikolai carried the people into the troop compartment of the Tiger armored vehicle, and Tom also got on the vehicle. He, a half-local snake, was responsible for handling the follow-up matters.

Guarantee guarantee, if the army has no guarantee, its combat effectiveness will be worrying.

This is also the reason why the magnesium army has such a high proportion of logistics. It is great, but it is also the reason why they tend to use PMC.

Because it is really too expensive, I don’t go out if I can, I don’t go out as much as I can, and I contract out the work that I do at a loss, which also successfully transfers the risk.

The fire defense personnel are all elite, and with the system to provide basic logistics (the most expensive part), they will be more competitive than their peers. If they invest some money in field medical care, the enhanced combat effectiveness will not be a small improvement.

At least the employees who saw this scene were more daring to fight and rush forward. Who makes the boss not abandon each of them?
The selectors who were still in the desert didn't know this. When they heard the sound of propellers last night, they only knew that someone had been eliminated, and they once again realized the cruelty of selection.

Pack your bags silently and continue on your way before the sun rises.

Life goes on, and so does selection.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Helicopters flew by in the sky from time to time, announcing to everyone the exit of another person.

Being in the wild represents a higher risk of accidents and injuries, and even minor injuries can amplify human senses.

A good example is the case of a condemned prisoner who was frightened to death after hearing the sound of water drops after being scratched (Yindu, 1936, doubtful).

"Bang~~"

On the distant hillside, a wild goat fell down.

"Very good, the helicopter flew over 5 times, and we only have 9 competitors left at most."

The bayonet in his hand was flying up and down, making the two of them doubt whether Mariano would have a finger cut off in the next second.

刚开始的6人小队已经减员至3人，那3个马莱人有1个受了伤，最终3人选择了全部退出。

This is very common in the PMC industry. Former teammates act together as a team and advance and retreat together.

There is no hope for them all, and they will give up this opportunity, even if they join a company with worse pay next time.

Several people may have formed lifelong friendships during their service. The only thing that can break them apart is death.

"What about you? I remember there is another Italian. Why don't you guys form a team?"

Rob asked Mariano breathlessly.

Latin language is still easy to identify.

"I'm in the navy, and it's under the control of the Ministry of Interior."

A country can have more than one special forces, and unless the combat effectiveness is significantly higher, they all think they are the best.

There is no debate on this point in Lao Mei. It is more special in Yingguo, but when it comes to profits, neither side accepts the other.

It was also reflected in the selection of personnel for concentrated fire defense. If there were not so many people on site, there might really be a fight and a fight would be fought on site.

"Well, that's it."

Paul, who rarely spoke at all, spoke rarely and seemed to "feel the same."

Pure military special operations forces will feel a bit subtle compared to special forces formed under the leadership of political forces.

Just like Lao Magnesium's fourth-class bipedal multi-purpose animal, let alone strength, why should it be directly under the direct command of the president?
"I would like to form a team with my fellow countryman, but he is a lone ranger. I don't know if Tao will be eliminated now."

Rob said, taking out the Polaroid and leaving the task of taking Paul's photo to him.

"Crack~~"

As the photo slowly came out, Mariano stabbed and removed one of the ibex's front legs.

In order to lighten their load, they did not carry much wild camel meat.

One leg of lamb per person was enough for tonight and tomorrow morning. No matter how hungry they were, they still had half an individual soldier's ration, enough for them to reach the finish line.

"We must be careful when crossing the swamp tomorrow. The estuary here is connected to the sea water. Maybe we will encounter crocodiles."

Mariano reminded the two of them while roasting the leg of lamb.

Where there are live ammunition, there is American-style copycatting.

But after hunting 3 targets, Paul only had 2 live rounds left, and they had to be more careful.

"So, never try to wear it at night..."

"Bang~~"

Gunshots rang out in the distance, interrupting Mariano's lesson.

"Is it a 7.62mm bullet, or is it the direction of the swamp."

Paul analyzed calmly.

"That man is finished. If he doesn't die, the helicopter should be here soon."

Mariano said affirmatively.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Halfway through the leg of lamb, Bell 206 arrived.

The glider comes to pick up the fastest one and crosses the swamp area at night, hoping to come out on top!
　I attended a friend's wedding and felt more tired than my own wedding. The loud speakers made my head hurt. I came back at two o'clock and took a nap, otherwise I would have finished writing in the afternoon.
