It’s not easy to be an interstellar chef

Chapter 249

The fifth to last level is to wade across the river.

Su Chaoliu squatted down by the river, put his hand into the water, felt the impact of the water flow, and roughly estimated the flow rate.

In fact, under normal circumstances, superpower warriors rarely need to swim to cross the water because they have various equipment to assist them in their movements, such as flying jets.

But they cannot always think that they can sit back and relax just because they have the equipment. After all, there will be all kinds of accidents on the battlefield, such as equipment breaking down, ground magnetism affecting the use of equipment, and so on.

Only by preparing for the worst can we be able to deal with various emergencies.

"The current is very fast," Su Chaoliu said, "It would take a lot of energy to swim across."

They had not rested in order to maintain their lead, and now their strength was almost exhausted. They were rushing to recover their strength. If they consumed more, the next stage would be very dangerous.

Gao Zixu looked around, trying to find a solution through the surrounding environment.

The soil near the river is not very solid. Even if a nail is driven in, it can be easily pulled out, so it is impossible to drive nails into the ground.

If it doesn’t work on earth, why not look in the sky?

Several plans went through my mind, but they were all ruled out by Gao Zixu.

After simulating and calculating in his brain, he found that the success rate was too low, so he did not dare to take the risk.

Su Chaoliu was also looking for a solution.

Then her sight swept across a piece of bamboo leaves.

"Is there any bamboo growing over there?" She pointed in that direction. "Shall we go over and take a look?"

Gao Zixu squinted his eyes and looked in the direction she pointed for a long time. He didn't see the bamboo, so he said, "Did you see it wrongly?"

"I can't be mistaken," Su Chaoliu was sure at this moment, "It's bamboo."

Gao Zixu murmured doubtfully: "Why didn't I see that?"

Su Chaoliu thought: That’s because you haven’t seen much!
There are no plants on Yanhuang Star. Most of their knowledge of plants comes from pictures and videos. Even if they see plants with their own eyes on the affiliated planets, it is difficult to distinguish them. After all, plants do not have their own distinctive characteristics like animals. Cows are cows and sheep are sheep. They don’t know the specific species, but it doesn’t matter.

However, Su Chaoliu's words were still credible, so the others followed Su Chaoliu and walked over there.

As they turned to leave, the rest of the team caught up with them and immediately asked, "Where are you going?"

Gao Zixu waved his hand and said, "Find a way to cross the river. It's impossible to cross it now."

The rest of the team looked at the turbulent river and also began to worry, thinking about what to do.

The teams behind are catching up, so they have to move fast, otherwise the leading advantage they have accumulated will be gone and their fast running will be in vain.

Facts proved that Su Chaoliu was not mistaken. It was indeed bamboo, and one bamboo was more than ten meters high.

Gao Zixu glanced at the river surface and said, "The width of the water is about seven to eight meters. Cutting down two bamboos should be enough."

Two bamboos are connected together to form a small bridge over the water. Although it is only as wide as two bamboos, it should not be a problem for students from the individual soldier department to step across it.

"No," Zhang Binglin immediately objected, "With the speed of the water, the bamboo will be washed away immediately if we put it down."

Shi Yu also shook his head, expressing his opposition to this method, but the two of them did not have a better proposal for the time being, so they looked at Su Chaoliu who did not speak: "What do you think?"

Su Chaoliu had been looking at the water. Hearing this, he turned around and said, "I have an idea, but I need to try it."

Su Chaoliu didn't say what his specific idea was, but he had to cut bamboo first before conducting the experiment.

So the little saber took on a responsibility that it shouldn't have.

Fortunately, it doesn't take much effort to cut a bamboo, and the bamboo they chose is not very thick, but it is definitely long enough.

More and more people came to cut bamboo, probably hoping to use the bamboo to cross the river.

But everyone's eyes must be on Su Chaoliu and his team.

Wait for them to respond so you can follow suit.

But more often than not, people jump into the water directly after thinking carefully, trying to overtake at this level.

The cut bamboo was inserted vertically into the water, only about one meter away from the shore.

Although some fixing measures have been taken, the bamboo pole cannot hold on for long under the impact of the water flow and may fall down at any time.

Su Chaoliu retreated more than ten meters and then began to sprint towards the bamboo pole.

Everyone was no longer looking at her out of the corner of their eyes, but looking over directly. They were all curious about what Su Chaoliu was going to do, and whether she would succeed or fail in the end. Su Chaoliu rushed to the river bank without slowing down, and she was about to rush into the water.

But at the last moment, she bounced up, leaped over the bamboo pole, and grabbed it with both hands.

The bamboo pole was hit by Su Chaoliu and began to fall slowly to the other side. While falling, Su Chaoliu quickly climbed to the top of the bamboo pole.

When the bamboo pole fell halfway, Su Chaoliu had already climbed more than two meters. When the bamboo pole fell completely, although the distance she climbed was not enough for her to cross the river, she would not be too far from the riverside.

Everyone held their breath and watched Su Chaoliu jump off the bamboo pole just as it was about to hit the ground.

Su Chaoliu did not completely cross the river. When she jumped down, the water was still above her knees. But this depth was not a problem at all. She just needed to walk to the shore.

Her performance was so wonderful that Gao Zixu took a deep breath and began to applaud her.

Applause is contagious, and soon one person's applause turned into a crowd's applause.

Su Chaoliu turned around and looked at his teammates as if they were fools.

Why are you clapping at this time? Come over here.

She has set an example here, and many people will surely follow suit. If they don't hurry up, they will be overtaken by others.

In fact, although Su Chaoliu seems to do it so easily and it seems simple, when you actually do it, you will find that it is not simple at all.

The timing of jumping is the most critical. If the timing of jumping is wrong, the rhythm of the whole process will be disrupted, making it difficult to control your body when jumping onto the bamboo pole, and you will not be able to climb up the pole like Su Chaoliu.

However, the students in the individual soldier department had excellent coordination and control abilities of their limbs. After failing a few times, they found the trick and quickly crossed the shore.

Su Chaoliu's teammates did not fail more than twice. After all, the usual training would have a real impact on their bodies. The First Military Academy had higher requirements for students, so naturally their abilities would be higher.

While the other teams were not here yet, they took the time to widen the gap.

It was still a very smooth journey from then on. Although there were pauses, a solution was always found.

The last level is set to sneak into the enemy's base and seize a flying vehicle to escape. Since the conventional route will be scanned by surveillance eyes no matter how you calculate it, it is definitely impossible to take the conventional route, so you can only take an unconventional route.

Since it is an unconventional route, it is definitely not easy to walk. Not to mention the nearly 90-degree mountain wall, there are also various complex terrains such as swamps, cliffs, gullies, etc., and you also have to avoid the patrol personnel and instruments that occasionally sweep across the sky.

It took them several hours to climb a mountain that was only a few hundred meters high. However, their progress was still considered fast. Other teams were still looking for a path to break through at the foot of the mountain.

Climbing to the highest point is not the end, you need to defeat the guards on the mountain and invade and modify the enemy's system.

This work was completed by Zhang Binglin. Perhaps because he wanted to be the secretary of the Student Union, he processed information very quickly. Among the people Su Chaoliu knew, he was second only to the chief of staff.

But even faster still takes time.

In order to avoid surveillance, except for Zhang Binglin standing in front of the operating table, the other three people had to be stuck in a blind spot, using a difficult posture to "just" get stuck in the blind spot so as not to be seen by the surveillance eyes.

"Can you do it?" Shi Yu paused for a while and felt his waist and back ache. He couldn't help but urge, "Can you go faster?"

Zhang Binglin turned a deaf ear and typed rapidly on the keyboard, constantly deciphering and modifying the data.

Thanks to Zhang Binglin's efforts, about ten minutes later, a door slowly opened, revealing a long corridor behind the door, a straight one without any branches.

The three people hiding in the blind spot were relieved and immediately came out from their hiding places. Gao Zixu did not forget to confirm: "Is this the door?"

Zhang Binglin took a final look at the code on his computer: "Yes, this is the way to go."

After getting the exact answer, they immediately ran towards the door, but as soon as they crossed the door, a huge alarm sounded.

Gao Zixu couldn't help but curse: "Damn it! Go away!"

It turns out that deciphering is not the ultimate test, but how to break through the siege is.

The mechanisms in the corridor began to activate. At this time, there was no time to think of countermeasures. I had to rely entirely on my body's reactions that had been trained over a long period of time.

Speed, strength, reaction, explosiveness, without any one of them they can't move forward.

After crawling on the ground to escape from the corridor, what came into view was a helipad. They had to fly the aircraft back to the designated area.

The task of driving was naturally given to the captain. As soon as the other three people sat down, Gao Zixu took off, increased the horsepower to maximum, and left here at the fastest speed.

Even though they were extremely tired, they finally got the first place. After reaching the finish line, the four of them collapsed on the seats of the aircraft, not wanting to move at all. After their nerves relaxed, they only felt a splitting headache.

As a participant in this "fun" cross-country race, I didn't find it fun at all. I just felt tired throughout the whole process.

One of the organizers, Yu Zhenbo, the student council president of the First Military Academy, opened the car door and said, "What are you talking about? Why don't you get up?"

Su Chaoliu struggled for a while, but couldn't move. She could only barely raise her head and look at Yu Zhenbo: "I can't get up."
