2975 Too Tired
All the Chinese special forces soldiers retreated from the swamp, no longer walking in a straight line. They chose to take a detour.
Although the Pallas’ cats were not as ferocious as leopards and tigers, they were still relatively difficult wild animals to deal with. In addition, it was not a good thing to see blood in the forest. It would attract more ferocious wild animals that ate meat for a living, such as wolves. If they were surrounded by wolves, the Chinese participants would definitely see blood.
Since there was plenty of time now, they could take a detour.
“We’re about 15 kilometers away from the next control station. We’ll reach the control station first and accept the next competition course. Then, we’ll rest for a while before continuing our journey.”
After communicating with Li Jinnian, Xia Jinyuan gave an order. All the participants didn’t stop. They continued moving to the next control station.
Li Jinnian looked at the time. It was still early. It was seven minutes past nine in the evening. If it was 15 kilometers, it would take two to three hours. They could reach before midnight.
12 am was the most tiring time. It was suitable to rest for a while before marching.
“I have no objections. If we’re really tired, we can rest for five to ten minutes along the way,” Big Shark asked. He had been training in the mountains with the Xueyu unit for a few months. Now, he had completely adapted to forest combat.
Big Eel was the same. In his words, they were like the army now, not the navy.
There was no problem with the two navy members of Storm Commando, let alone the army from the Xueyu unit.
Ye Jian had already memorized the entire map in her mind. Xia Jinyuan didn’t even need to take out the map. Ye Jian and Sparrowhawk led the way. They didn’t have any intention of stopping to rest and headed straight for the second sniping zone.
After the Chinese special forces soldiers walked out of the swamp, they chose to take a detour. The observation team soon found out about this.
At first, they thought that the Chinese team members would simply retreat from the swamp and rest for a while before leaving. Just like the participants from a certain country in Great Britain, when they learned that the Estonian participants were attacked by a few Pallas’ cats, they simply retreated from the swamp and chose to rest before setting off.
The Italian team and a few other countries chose to rest too. They were too tired. The first 30 kilometers of cross-country breakout had already exhausted the stamina of the participating members. Right on the heels of that was the small targets competition between the snipers of the various countries. The participating snipers needed to be on high alert to prevent themselves from being discovered by other countries. It could be said that they didn’t have a good rest at all.
Now that there was a strange situation in front and there was time, they chose to rest for a while before leaving. A few of the teams from the top countries also chose to rest for a short while.
The rain had stopped, but everywhere they passed was wet. Their jungle camouflage combat uniforms were never dry. The eight of them wore wet combat uniforms and had been walking for four hours.
The night was as thick as ink. The Chinese special forces soldiers continued to march through the forest like cheetahs. They marched strictly according to the time they had set. No matter how dark the night was and no matter how difficult it was to walk in the forest, it didn’t stop the Chinese soldiers from marching into the vast primeval forest.
