Chapter 496 Why Work Hard

In the early morning of the third day, it was routine to run the mountain with the off-road vehicle.This time the team was not as tidy as it was on the first day, and there was procrastination at the end of the team.

Ye Ming called Dong Ruiyang to lead the team, and ran to the back to organize the team.Everyone's lips are chapped and pale, and they have been saving water and food for the past two days. They have exhausted too much physical energy, and they rely on willpower to persist.

"Follow up! The ones behind hurry up!" She urged the team members who had slowed down.The mountain road is rugged and full of weeds. Occasionally, people step on snakes or rats and almost fall.

The slowest ones at the end of the team are Feng Yang and Zhou Wenwen. Feng Yang's face was pale and he was panting heavily, wiping away his sweat;

Ye Ming called the two to follow, but they had different reactions.

Zhou Wenwen took off his training cap irritably. "I'm starving to death! I can't eat well and sleep well, how can I run vigorously! It's unscientific to run mountains on an empty stomach, and you will die of dehydration!"

Feng Yang opened his mouth, staring at Ye Ming with a stern expression, he dared not make a sound.

"What's the point of running in the mountains? I can practice physical fitness at the base, but I have to come to this place where birds don't lay eggs! There are so many insects, and my skin is bitten red... From now on, my whole body will be covered with scars..."

Feng Yang timidly reminded Zhou Wenwen not to complain.

Ye Ming winked at Feng Yang, and the latter ran away wisely.She trotted to Zhou Wenwen, "If the army is disbanded, what are your plans?"

"Disband? The perverted instructor is just trying to scare us."

"I said if."

"I'll go back to the communication camp after disbanding."

Her soft and clever words made Ye Ming's eyes turn cold. "A soldier will take root in a unit, and until he dies, his roots will still be deeply rooted in the unit. This root is belonging and emotion. A soldier without roots is duckweed. Zhou Wenwen, where is your root?"

Zhou Wenwen was stunned, not understanding what she meant.

"Once the special forces are disbanded, we can all be assigned to other units. It doesn't seem like a big deal. If that's the case, why do we still go hungry and run mountains? We still have to train hard? You answer me, why?"

"Because, because of an order?"

"No. It's because they are trying hard not to let the troops disband. They want to let the higher-ups know that the special forces are mature troops and will not be disbanded easily. You said that there is no chance to perform in the communication battalion. You ask yourself, you think the communication battalion is a company. Still a home?"

"I..." Zhou Wenwen couldn't answer.

Ye Ming's tone turned hard, "Keep up with the team, don't make the team loose just because of you! Quickly, keep up!"

The tough order made Zhou Wenwen irresistible. She put on her training cap and continued running, her stomach always rumbling.

After running, everyone almost collapsed and began to feel dizzy.

Ye Ming ordered loudly: "Eat more breakfast, we will fight in the water and climb mountains later, so we may not have time to eat at noon. Do you have any edible plants in your pockets?"

"Have!"

She looked around at the roots or berries that everyone took out, "If you want to line up for training, you can chew some while you have time, but don't let Instructor Yun find out."

They smiled knowingly.

Fighting in the water is not difficult, it is just more difficult than on land, but climbing mountains can exhaust your physical strength.Near noon in the scorching heat, 19 people climbed the cliff on the first day.

The scorching sun hit their heads directly, and their sweat never stopped.The only props for climbing this time are hemp ropes, and the use of steel cones is prohibited.In a team of two, Li ordered them to climb [-] back and forth and let the principal and deputy captain supervise.

Looking down with a clairvoyant probe, two hemp ropes hang down straight along the cliff.

A surveillance drone quietly parked above them.

Dapeng and Xia Qin went in the first group, and Ye Ming specially arranged for the calm Xia Qin to match him.At the beginning, each group climbed smoothly. As the sun rose to the top, the world in their eyes was a dazzling orange, and they even had the illusion that the cliffs reflected light, and they almost couldn't open their eyes.

"Hurry up, it's slow!"

The group that was descending picked up speed to hit the ground, then climbed up again.When it was Zhou Wenwen and Douzi's turn to go down the mountain, Zhou Wenwen's palm was scratched, and it hurt when he touched the hemp rope.

Gululu... Her stomach was rumbling again. "Douzi, can you slow down?" She was weak, and several Douzi appeared on the opposite side.

"No, if we are slow, we will slow down the speed of all the staff. Persevere, half of the times are left."

Zhou Wenwen pouted, forcing himself to concentrate.She went down step by step, the dazzling sunlight hit her eyes, and her head was even more dizzy.

She raised her hand to shade the sun, intending to grab the rope with one hand, but her foot stepped on the loose sand, and her body fell backward due to the heavy backpack.

Seeing her grabbing the rope with one hand, Douzi was about to fall, so she hurriedly grabbed the rope and approached.Zhou Wenwen put his hands on his shoulders waving indiscriminately, clutching his collar tightly.

"Cough...don't be afraid..."

The thick red beans around her neck hadn't touched her waist yet, she loosened the hemp rope with her tired hands, and the venomous sunlight hurt her eyes.

Pulling her heavily, Douzi's palms rubbed against the hemp rope, but he refused to let go, and he didn't let go until he was not far from the ground, and rolled to the ground holding Zhou Wenwen.

The hemp rope of the beans was stained red with blood.

"Are you all right?" The team members on the edge of the cliff shouted towards the ground, and then heard the weak reply from the two people below.

"I will go down with Feng Yang, and the deputy team will maintain order." Ye Ming went down the mountain with Feng Yang, holding the red-dyed hemp rope like a stick in her throat.After a while, Zhou Wenwen's cry came, and everyone's heart was tightened.

When they reached the ground, the two found that Douzi's palm had been severely damaged, leaving a deep long scar, and the edge of the wound was covered with bits of hemp rope.

"I have to wash the wound with water and then pull out the debris or the wound will become infected."

"Use my water!" Zhou Wenwen, who was in tears, found out his water bottle and handed it to Feng Yang.

Ye Ming used the walkie-talkie to report Douzi's injury and ordered the others to continue climbing.Instead, she looked at Douzi who could still show a smile, and patted him firmly on the shoulder.

"You are our good comrade in arms."

Dou Zi smiled honestly.

Zhou Wenwen couldn't cry, and kept apologizing to Douzi.He didn't think it was a big deal, it was enough that everyone's lives were not in danger.

"Woo...I'm sorry...I'm useless to implicate you...you can't train because you're injured...I'm exhausting myself..."

"It's okay, you can still train after bandaging."

"No, I will report to Instructor Yun. If you continue to climb, the wound will worsen. You should rest for a while." Ye Ming did not allow him to refuse, and immediately switched Li's channel.

The four of them heard the sound of Li allowing Douzi to rest.

Watching Fengyang carefully pull out the debris, watching Douzi clenched his lower lip to endure, Zhou Wenwen felt extremely guilty. "I, I punish myself!" She said suddenly, "I punish myself not to eat at noon and at night."

"No! There is training in the afternoon and evening, and you will be exhausted if you don't eat."

But Zhou Wenwen insisted on punishing himself. "I asked for this. You can starve me if you want. Captain, I understand what you said this morning."
