"well……"
On the sea not far away, Hou Jun put down his telescope and sighed to Li Zheng next to him: "A handful of good cards were all lost because of one oversight."
Li Zheng saw that Team 1 was gradually falling behind, and the other three teams had begun to catch up. Team 2 had already seized the opportunity to overtake.
In fact, Li Zheng knew very well that Team 1 was not caught up because of lack of physical strength, but because Zhang Jian was deliberately suppressing the speed.
This is the most reasonable tactic.
Firstly, it can save some energy for Fatty Wei and himself to wait for Qiangyong to return to the team. Secondly, if he swims too fast, the distance for Qiangyong to catch up will be longer, more time-consuming and more physical consumption, which will wear him down.
Therefore, Zhang Jian, as the captain, made a difficult choice.
Among the entire team, the one who suffered the most was Fatty Wei.
Not because he had dragged an extra watertight bag and a gun, but because he felt guilty.
He was the first to board the rubber boat, and he was responsible for loading the equipment of his teammates who had not yet arrived in the rubber boat into watertight bags.
Although each other would check on each other afterwards, perhaps the biggest possibility was that he left something on the boat due to his own negligence.
It doesn't matter to Fatty Wei how he is doing, but if he drags others down, he feels psychologically unable to cope with it.
But at this time, Team 2 just passed them. No. 074 Wang Haiyang shouted to Fatty Wei: "Hey! 004, come on!"
This joke is actually very common in training camps and selection training.
Moderate teasing can increase the intensity of competition between each other and increase each other's competitiveness, which is ineffective in improving performance.
It just happened that this was the time when Fatty Wei was most depressed, and 074's words simply rubbed salt into his wounds.
"Go away!"
Fatty Wei started swearing.
074's expression changed, and he was obviously very annoyed.
But this is not the time to fall out, let’s wait until we get ashore to discuss any issues.
"Don't scold me in the water if you have the guts. I'll find a place to practice with you when I get ashore, you new recruit!"
074 is not someone to be trifled with either.
The clay figurines are also very firey, not to mention the young and energetic soldiers.
"Practice, practice, I'm enlisting in the army for the second time! I used to be Lu Te! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Fatty Wei didn't admit defeat at all.
The two of them cursed while swimming.
The waves rushed over, and each other was choked by the sea water in their mouths, which was extremely uncomfortable.
In fact, the sea is really not a good place for quarrels.
Therefore, Zhang Jianli immediately stopped Fatty Wei: "Fatboy, can you save your breath for later!?"
He felt that Fatty Wei had lost his grace this time.
Others may make fun of you without any malice.
Winning and losing on the training field are normal, there is no need to take it seriously.
Sure enough, 074 also realized that they could no longer argue with Fatty Wei while swimming at sea.
Even though he had the ability, doing so was a waste of time and slowed down his own speed.
No. 077 advised No. 074: "Yangyang, don't be like this guy, hurry up and pass them! They don't dare to speed up now, if you argue with them here, you will be fooled!"
074 thought about it, and 077 was right. He was arguing with this fat man here, and he almost forgot to seize the opportunity to surpass them.
"right!"
He shouted: "Brothers! Overtake one team and win the first place!"
Winning first place is the biggest critical blow to Team 1. Instead of arguing here, it is better to see the real results in the ranking.
Fatty Wei was feeling aggrieved. Seeing the people from Team 2 passing by from a short distance away, he was so angry that he slapped his palm on the water. He didn't know who to scold anyone if he wanted to.
About 3 minutes later, Qiangyong finally caught up with the team and entered the team.
He retrieved his watertight bag and gun, strapped them on and followed the team.
Seeing Qiangyong's pale face, Fatty Wei knew that he had tried his best to catch up with the team and was probably very tired by now.
Fortunately, this veteran has good water-based physical strength, so he can still hold on without any problem, but he can't hope to make waves.
Zhang Jian looked ahead and saw that there was still about 1 kilometer away from the finish line. Team 1 was already the slowest of the four groups and was still 20 meters away from Team 4 in front.
At the current speed, even if we try harder, it will be impossible to catch up with the 4 teams in the end.
If you want to win the championship, unless a miracle happens.
"I have an idea!"
Zhang Jian suddenly said: "Brothers, swim to the right and choose to swim close to the coastline!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Zhang Jian's suggestion.
Is this crazy? !
The reason why everyone is shocked is because the sea area for this competition is a W-shaped double bay. The rubber boat is parked in the first bay and the end point is in the second bay. In other words, everyone must pass through a protrusion. The coastline can reach the destination.
The terrain here is very interesting. The protruding part that needs to be passed along the shore is full of rugged rocks. Because this section of the coastline is a protruding part, it is particularly affected by the waves. Whenever there is a typhoon, the sea water will flow back to the shore from here, affecting the beach. to nearby people.
So the local government has piled a lot of wave-absorbing blocks there. Wave-absorbing blocks are large cement blocks placed on the coast or river embankments. They are used to absorb the impact of waves or heavy water to protect the coast or river embankments. Common The shape is somewhat similar to a regular tetrahedron, with cement blocks extending from the center point in four directions, corresponding to the vertices of the regular tetrahedron.
Because there are many wave-absorbing blocks here and they are stacked more than two meters high, the route planned by all groups before swimming was to avoid this section of the protruding breakwater of the bay, because if they get too close to this section of the breakwater, violent waves and flowing water will destroy them. When people push against the breakwater, no one knows what is under the water. People are insignificant in front of the waves. If they are caught in the waves, they will get into accidents if they hit these wave-absorbing blocks.
The method given by Zhang Jian is very risky——
Choose the shortest route to your destination close to the protruding coastline. Only in this way can you have a chance to win.
Normally no one would take such a risk, including this time, the other teams all avoided the wave area and the square wave embankment, and swam in a curve.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"agree!"
"I'm OK!"
There was almost no rebuttal.
Although shocked, everyone still followed the order immediately.
In the distance on the sea, a Jiaolong instructor put down his telescope, turned to Xiao Jun and said, "Team 1 is crazy?! They are swimming against the protrusion! Something will happen! Captain, do you want someone to stop them?" Order a diversion?!"
"unnecessary."
Xiao Jun frowned.
But the decision was made.
"Our rules do not stipulate where the route must pass. They did not violate the rules. If this is a battlefield, they must arrive at the destination within the specified time. Even if someone dies, they must do so. There is no surrender in our dictionary. Two words!”
The instructor was slightly startled and said nothing.
Asking for a monthly ticket!
