Chapter 167 Success: My destiny is in my own hands!

"Squad Leader Wu, you used to be the physical champion of the Seventh Steel Company, always number one everywhere, and I wasn't convinced. Now I think you truly deserve this title."

In the dark night, Chengcai sat on the haystack, panting, and began to eat bread and drink water.

The physical strength of both men had reached its limit, and the dry food looted from the field vehicle during the day could be eaten at this time.

They both like to put physical fitness last.

Only in this way can you run one more kilometer than others and have a better chance of winning.

Those who participated in the assessment this time were all the best soldiers from each company, and at the very least, they were outstanding soldiers like Bai Tiejun.

Among this group of people, there are physical warriors who are no less than Wu Liuyi, and some tough guys with strong minds.

Therefore, their chances of winning are not as good as imagined.

Just as Ma Sanming from Old A said before, he looked ordinary, but when he took the assessment that year, he plunged into a fermenting manure pit.

There are many people like this.

The soldiers who participated also have it!

He is cruel to others and also cruel to himself.

Wu Liuyi ate the bread and drank the water carefully, not letting any crumbs fall.

The hard work of every grain of rice is fully embodied at this moment.

"These old guys don't even know how to bring more food. They just bring one meal!" Chengcai complained while eating.

Wu Liuyi licked his palms clean, carefully unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and took a sip. "They're just for emergency use in case the sheep in our group who are taking the assessment really collapse."

Chengcai uttered an "oh" and looked into the darkness in the distance. "Let's go. I don't know if Xu Sanduo has escaped. There are so many cars..."

Wu Liuyi stood up and looked at the dark grassland behind him. At this moment, there was a terrifying sense of oppression on the vast grassland.

-

-

Feng Yuxiu stood on the grassland with a frown on his face, then looked up at the sky.

Good, the stars disappeared not long ago.

The main reason why he stole the car during the day was that he was lost.

The arc of the route towards the north was so large that he completely lost his original sense of direction.

It's easy to get lost in this place, as the road signs on the surrounding grasslands all look the same.

Therefore, he had to take the risk and continue to seize the car, and happened to see two streams of signal white smoke rising into the sky in the distance.

Only then did he realize that he had really gone in the wrong direction.

Following the white smoke, I finally found the direction ahead.

He ran too far, and the number of people surrounding him increased rapidly.

I have already lost the direction and landmarks I set out in.

Feng Yuxiu pinched the package behind him. He was approached by three Old As, and the three of them slashed the package behind him with daggers.

All the stored rations were lost in the fight.

"It seems these guys are here for the rations. I was wondering why they weren't chasing me as frantically as before. They're trying to force me to suffer."

Feng Yuxiu sneered. He could just run away or knock out the wolves.

But a sheep that is always well-fed is absolutely not allowed to wander around the grassland.

If he had always had combat rations, no one would have been able to compete with him in physical fitness on the last day.

Now all his rations were lost, and he had been chased for an entire afternoon, so his energy was almost exhausted.

But still better than the average person.

The day and night training he underwent in the two years after joining the army is not comparable to that of ordinary special forces.

"But... there's no one here."

Feng Yuxiu sat cross-legged, his chest began to rise and fall, and gradually, in the cold temperature, dense sweat seeped out of his forehead.

After two years of training, his muscles have generated terrifying energy, which is called high calories in modern medicine.

For example, lean beef tastes more chewy, but its calories are terribly high.

At this moment, Feng Yuxiu began to release heat from the muscles beneath his skin to resist the cold of the night.

The temperature has dropped tonight, and it is lower than before.

Coupled with the physical exertion of the day and the lack of calorie replenishment, the heat loss from his body's skin would be terrifying.

Once the heat consumption is too great, it will cause hypothermia, which is completely life-threatening.

Moreover, he doesn't have any flares now, which means that if he encounters danger at this moment, he will have no chance to ask for help.

This assessment has a loss indicator and allows for deaths in non-wartime situations.

He must take it seriously.

After slightly overcoming the risk of hypothermia, Feng Yuxiu stood up, carrying his gun and continued running in the direction he had been running before.

He had to speed up. With so many people, he didn't know how many of them would be eliminated. Moreover, this assessment was not just about reaching the finish line.

The landmarks given by Yuan Lang also need to be depicted in a map to complete the most basic task.

He must keep moving forward!
-

-

Wu Liuyi and Chengcai walked forward cautiously, holding machine guns.

Although Old A and the people from the reconnaissance battalion would not come to such a remote corner at night, they still did so to prevent any accidents.

They only have one chance. Once white smoke comes out of their bodies, it means that the assessment is officially over.

He could go back and continue to rest, especially since Wu Liuyi had already had a quarrel with the commander of his new company.

The sneer on his face still lingered in my ears.

He couldn't go back. His proud mentality didn't allow him to return to the new company and face the company commander's gaze.

Chengcai grew increasingly excited as he walked, driven by his intuition about snipers. He panted and boasted in a low voice, "I'm becoming more and more confident on this road. I think your intuition is right. Four o'clock, it's the four o'clock direction. I even think this road looks so familiar... Actually, I originally planned to go to the seven o'clock direction..."

Chengcai suddenly shut his mouth, and the two of them walked out of a jungle of treetops that surrounded them.

"Why does that mountain look so familiar..." Chengcai was stunned.

Wu Liuyi lowered his body and said, "Are you starving? There is no place on this grassland that you are familiar with."

"No, no, doesn't that mountain look like a steamed bun? Deputy Wu, please take a closer look. I seem to be starving and my eyesight is not very good."

Wu Liuyi was stunned for a moment, "How can a sniper have bad eyesight... But you are right, that mountain is Mantou Mountain."

Seeing this, Chengcai walked forward quickly, walked around a swamp and gully and stood at the front.

Wu Liuyi chased after him and saw Chengcai staring at the distance strangely.

"Deputy Squadron Leader Wu, our chance has come! Do you know where this is?" Chengcai suddenly gasped excitedly, "Grassland Squadron 5 of the Red Third Company! This is where Xu Sanduo first went, and where I stayed for the better part of half a year! Look at that red flag and the sentry box!"

A look of daze suddenly appeared on Wu Liuyi's frail face, and then he was overjoyed, "Chengcai, are you sure you're not seeing things?"

"Absolutely not. Did you see that small playground in front of the door? I built it! Xu Sanduo and his men built a road, and I also built a small playground! That's right, that's right. Deputy Squad Leader Wu, I said that the two of us can make it to the end!"

Chengcai waved his hand and said, "Follow me. I can tell which corner has something even with my eyes closed!"

Wu Liuyi quickly lowered his body and followed Chengcai into Grassland Class 5.

Ten minutes after the two of them touched each other.

Feng Yuxiu stood outside Grassland Class 5.

"Is this the right direction? Why are we here? Xue Lin is the only one left in Class 5 now."

He just glanced at Grassland Class 5 and planned to leave.

According to what Mr. A stipulated at the beginning, this assessment was set to be a no-man's land.

Therefore, this grassland is an uninhabited area, and any buildings, equipment, or even people you see do not exist.

"But...it doesn't say I can't stay here overnight."

Feng Yuxiu sneered. These assessments by this group of old As were nothing more than draining the physical strength of ordinary soldiers and pushing them to their limits.

This doesn't make any sense to me.

If it comes to fighting with bare hands or chasing for survival, he is confident that these old A's cannot beat him.

After all, he had spent more than thirty years on the road to escape.

Rumble!
Suddenly, a strong wind swept in from afar. Not only did the temperature drop tonight, but the cold wind became more severe.

Feng Yuxiu narrowed his eyes. Walking against the current in such low temperature and strong wind would consume exponentially more energy, which was obviously not a wise move.

Feng Yuxiu gave up the idea of ​​not going in. The place called Grassland Class 5 has a magical charm.

He was always so relaxed on the outside but actually on the inside. With his skills, even those soldiers infected by decadence couldn't find him lying in the dormitory.

Feng Yuxiu turned around and walked in.

Another reason is that no matter how dilapidated this place is, it is still called a military camp.

The reconnaissance battalion and Old A will not come to mess with the friendly camp, even if they know that there may be soldiers taking the assessment hiding there.

At this point, there is no place to hide except the kitchen. The kitchen is closed on all sides, so even the cold wind cannot blow in.

Standing on the road forged by Lao Ma and his team, Feng Yuxiu looked at the dormitory inside.

There is still light in Class 5's dormitory. There is no such thing as turning off the lights here.

The biggest restriction is to let them stay quiet and not drink too much in the winter, and the regiment headquarters will not allow another Feng Yuxiu to come out again.

A soldier stood up and closed the window. Feng Yuxiu stood sideways behind a tree and watched the scene. Soon, the window inside was filled with smoke, presumably because someone inside had started watching the TV.

Although most of the time it is flashing with snowflakes.

Feng Yuxiu looked at it for a long time, and his memory seemed to have returned to the past.

His inner thoughts during those days seemed to be very different from what they are now.

The idea of ​​taking things as they come actually began to infect him.

I don’t know if it’s Lao Ma or the whole atmosphere of Grassland Class 5.

Now his inner dedication to martial arts is still strong.

He had to wait for time and have enough time to go to Zhongshan City, Guangzhou on August 2003, 8.

At this point in time, the old man took out a martial arts template that had been passed down for 160 years.

Feng Yuxiu turned around and walked into the kitchen without thinking much.

After pushing the door open, he suddenly stopped, staring at the darkness with his hands clenched.

Two small breathing sounds were heard in the corner.

Feng Yuxiu thought for a moment that it was impossible for the people from Grassland Class 5 to be hiding here playing hide-and-seek at this time.

Then there is only one possibility...

"Let's keep to ourselves, rest for the night and leave. How about that? There's no such thing as a sneak attack."

Feng Yuxiu has been walking alone since he joined the team. Although they are both soldiers, they are also competitors.

It was a fierce examination with hundreds of people competing for three places, and he was unwilling to leave his back to others.

"Huh? Why does this voice sound so familiar?" Chengcai was stunned.

Wu Liuyi suddenly widened his eyes, slowly stood up and walked towards the door, and saw Feng Yuxiu's face clearly in the dim light.

"Xu Sanduo!!! How did you find your way here?"

Wu Liuyi punched Feng Yuxiu's shoulder in ecstasy.

Feng Yuxiu also smiled faintly.

Only Chengcai stood in the corner with a complicated expression on his face.

If Feng Yuxiu had not been eliminated, he would definitely have one of the three places.

He has to fight with others for the remaining two.

No, Wu Liuyi is also very confident.

This means that he needs to compete with everyone else for the remaining spot.

The difficulty has increased exponentially.

This made him feel a little uneasy, but at the same time, his inner determination became more certain.

When he squatted in the kitchen of Grassland Class 5 again, he became more and more certain that he must enter Old A.

This is his only fate. Otherwise, if he comes back again, his self-esteem will definitely not be able to bear it!
He can't come back!

The word had been spoken, and the cigarettes were distributed to the soldiers of Grassland Squad 5.

"Hurry up and sit down. Take the time to rest. Tomorrow is the last day. We must sprint! We are very fast!"

Feng Yuxiu said expressionlessly, "Rest for an hour and then set off immediately. We don't have time to rest for a night."

"This assessment wasn't that firm. None of the participants had it easy. I saw several people along the way who, out of hunger and thirst, ate dried feces on the ground without hesitation."

"There are more than one such ruthless person. If you let your guard down, you will definitely be eliminated."

After listening to Feng Yuxiu's description, the expressions of the two people who had originally planned to have a good rest became solemn.

Yes, basically everyone is the top soldier in each company.

No one is worse than anyone else, now it’s all about willpower!

Absolute willpower, whoever can grit their teeth and hold their breath will have the chance to make it to the end.

Grab one of the three spots! And thus join the envied Old A Special Forces Team!

"Take a break! We'll set off in an hour!" Wu Liuyi had strong execution ability and immediately sat on the ground and closed his eyes.

Chengcai looked around and sniffed. "Comrade scouts, didn't you find anything useful?"

Wu Liuyi opened his eyes and looked at him in confusion.

Seeing Chengcai's pretentious smile, he frowned, "What do you have to say? I don't have the energy to guess."

Chengcai stood up with his waist strengthened. He walked to the vegetables piled against the wall and patted the lamb leg to prevent it from drying out. "It was given to me by a fellow villager. I helped him last time."

In the past six months, Chengcai has exerted all the enthusiasm of the first half of his life. He has transformed himself from a farmer's child into a non-commissioned officer. In order to get out of the stepping stone of Class 5, God knows what kind of brain he used.

"Isn't that all great? But I believe there's something even better. This thing can be eaten raw. I'll have to treat you two to a good meal in Grassland Class 5!"

Chengcai looked around like a pastoral dog and finally found his goal.

The iron pot under the lid came out. After removing it, his eyes lit up. He grabbed two large white steamed buns and sniffed them vigorously, sighing in fascination. "I wouldn't trade them for Li Jiaxin right now. These guys in Class 5 only cook one meal at a time so they can spend more time lying down, and that meal can last for several days. Especially in winter, they can make amazing food."

"Now it seems these bad habits are called war preparation materials."

Feng Yuxiu sneered without even opening his eyes.

He wanted to see if this so-called fellow villager would forget the setting of this assessment because of this opportunity.

Wu Liu's throat rolled unconsciously and his lips began to tremble.

Chengcai handed over two big white steamed buns, showing his big white teeth as if asking for credit, "Here, thank you for your intuition that led me here. This is my reward."

Wu Liuyi reached out to take the steamed bun and slowly lowered his head to look at Yi Mu.

He knew that everyone had reached their limit.

Especially after the dawn of the third day, whoever can eat one more bite will have enough physical strength to make it to the end.

Now, in front of them is a pot of big white steamed buns.

After eating the buns, the three of them took up three names.

Old A entered the door.

Just as Wu Liuyi's lips touched the big white steamed bun, he glanced at Feng Yuxiu in a trance.

Feng Yuxiu never even looked at the steamed buns from beginning to end.

Then the picture appeared in his mind.

From the very beginning of the assessment, Feng Yuxiu took the initiative to ask the group of old A officers.

The setting of this assessment is a no-man's land.

In other words, there is no way these steamed buns will appear in this assessment.

If he eats it, it's a foul.

Wu Liuyi held the steamed bun tightly in both hands, staring straight at Chengcai who was drooling.

Chengcai took a bite and was about to chew it when he was stunned by Wu Liuyi's gaze.

"Why are you looking at me? Eat! Eating Old A is our future. Deputy Wu, you and I are from... the three of us are from the countryside. Do you know what this means? Do you know what this represents?"

Chengcai's unclear voice was trembling and uneasy.

Wu Liuyi licked his lips and said, "At the beginning, we assumed it was an uninhabited area."

"Who knew?!!!" Chengcai suddenly growled, "Who knew? You always say I'm opportunistic, but you know what? Because of this opportunism, I was the first to be promoted to non-commissioned officer. If I had stayed in the 7th Steel Company, with so many excellent snipers, I might have been discharged by now."

"I'm from the countryside, and I know very well that every opportunity must be seized. People only have a few chances in their lifetime. If you hesitate, there will be no chance of recovery!"

Chengcai's voice gradually deepened. He pointed at Feng Yuxiu and said, "Him! He's so fierce. I know I'm not as good as him. We're all not as good as him, but why do you look down on me?"

Chengcai finally exploded after seeing the look in Wu Liuyi's eyes.

Perhaps Wu Liuyi's eyes at this moment represent all the people who used to be in the 7th Steel Company.

He knew that when he left, the soldiers of the 7th Steel Company looked at his back with contempt.

At that time, I wished he would become successful and be struck by lightning.

But only Chengcai knows that this is an opportunity.

In this era, is it wrong for him, a kid from the countryside, to want to step out of the mountains step by step?

"Okay, okay, if you guys don't want to eat, I'll eat! I can't possibly go back to Grassland Class 5 again!!"

Chengcai gritted his teeth, and the letter his father wrote to him before he joined Old A appeared in his mind again.

The letters were full of envy for Xu Baishun's family. Because of the plaque hanging in Xu Baishun's family, the entire Xia Rongshu Village became a meritorious village in the local county.

Xu Baishun's family, once a household entitled to five guarantees, is now arrogantly trying to become a powerful family in the village.

Business at the surrounding mines is growing.

His father bowed humbly to Xu Baishun.

Why? Xu Baishun can't even read a single word, and his family is lazy and gluttonous! How can such a villain succeed?
It was all because of the plaque that Feng Yuxiu sent back.

That plaque for the first-class hero!

He Chengcai also hoped that his father would be able to stand up straight one day and face the leaders of the county party committee without any restraint.

Chengcai ate the steamed buns in big mouthfuls, and tears flowed unconsciously from the corners of his eyes.

He is right!
For the future, for my father...

That's right!
