Girls und War

Many girls had actually begun to back out, but the monitor kept encouraging them, urging them to persevere and try harder.

If I give up now, won’t all my previous efforts be wasted?

Why have they persisted until now?

So the girls gritted their teeth and walked forward without saying a word.

The team extended towards the edge of the grassland. Judging from the direction of travel, it seemed that the emperor did not want the team to continue moving deeper into the grassland.

There was a big mountain in the direction they were heading.

A huge mountain that was taller than any other mountain in the range that I had seen before.

The mountain was quite far away, about ten kilometers away. Xia Shu estimated that it was over two thousand meters above sea level. There was even a blanket of snow on the mountain, making it look quite majestic.

It is also very difficult to climb.

The girls all grimaced.

After marching for a whole morning, walking and running, the new recruits finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The logistics team set up camp here, preparing to rest for a while before crossing the mountain.

"This is the final leg of the journey," Fake Sleep said loudly in front of them. "Once we cross this mountain, this march will reach its end. Anyone who completes this journey will have a record of excellence on their resume. So tell me loudly, do you have the confidence to complete this journey?"

"Yes!" The recruits' voices were extremely loud.

But that's all talk. When they actually walk around, I don't know what they are like.

After lunch, the team rested for a while.

The nap didn't give them much time to rest. Soon the whistle was blown and they set off again.

Because the road ahead is very time-consuming.

This mountain seemed much steeper and more complicated than the one we climbed at the beginning.

The mountain road twists and turns, and there are many places where you have to climb up using your hands and feet.

Some roads have cliffs on the other side, and looking down makes people dizzy.

There was no protection on the mountain path, and to prevent any accidents, many protective robots were hovering in the air.

If a recruit really falls, the robot will launch a rescue immediately.

The recruits moved forward cautiously along the inner side of the mountain path.

They had never experienced this kind of real mountain climbing trip, and everything seemed full of danger and fear.

Xia Shu climbed up a big rock lightly, turned around and handed his hand to Mi Yu.

Mi Yu looked at her with complicated eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then handed her his hand.

This made Xia Shu feel a little strange.

Mi Yu's condition seems abnormal.

She was very evasive when facing Xia Shu's gaze today.

No matter what Xia Shu said to her, she just said "hmm" and never spoke a complete sentence.

Asked her what was wrong and she wouldn't say anything.

Xia Shu just thought she was in a bad mood.

But why am I in a bad mood?

Oh, by the way.

Women from the Blue Planet don't have periods.

This is a setting, don't delve into it.

As the altitude gradually increased, the physical heights the girls saw became increasingly frightening.

When they saw the high cliff, their legs naturally became weak and they could not walk.

Although it is not necessarily a fear of heights, this kind of terrifying situation cannot be resolved by just a few polite words.

So the sergeant asked the girls to take out the backpack ropes from their backpacks.

Backpack rope is a great thing!

In addition to being used to tie up luggage and parcels, it can also be used to tie up explosive packs, prisoners, girls, and corpses.

It can even be used to hang bars.

Now, it can link up the new recruits, allowing them to roll down the hill with a group of people. (?)

Oh, that's wrong. It's about giving them more confidence and giving each other courage!

It really is a great way to climb mountains!

-

But the main function is to use it to hang the pole (fog)

83. About the end of the journey

What Ximei wanted was not to let this group of recruits cross the mountain.

But actually climb to the top of the mountain.

The mountain is not an obstacle, but an object to be climbed.

After all, the road is so wide, and there are many flat roads if you want to pass through easily.

What she wants is an idea.

An idea that can take root in the hearts of these new recruits.

That is--

There are no real obstacles in this world. If there are, climb over them and crush them.

Pretending to sleep did not give these new recruits any useless inspirational words.

She just lets them experience reality.

There are real difficulties and real problems ahead.

If you want to do it, then do it yourself.

The logistics squad leader's donkey was leading the way. Since there was no backpack on his shoulders, he could move around most easily and conveniently.

This way she can be at the front, observe everyone's status, and think about the overall and details of the military mission.

This is also what a commander should really do.

She climbed onto a rock and looked back at the recruits' current situation.

Each class was holding a rope with everyone tied to it.

Although the risks still exist, it at least gave them great courage.

At this time, Xia Shu looked up and calculated the remaining distance.

She still had some energy left, so she could think about other things.

They looked at each other and pretended to smile at her.

She pretended not to see it, lowered her head and continued walking.

The smile became even brighter when he was dozing off.

The wind blew harder as they got to the top of the mountain, so the recruits bent their bodies lower.

The weight of the backpack became increasingly apparent, making it hard for every recruit to breathe.

But at this time, no one complained.

No one even spoke.

There is no need to do things that waste your energy.

Slogans and the like are just a waste of breath.

The journey of hundreds of kilometers over three days weighed heavily on every girl's heart.

What would it mean if I gave up at this time?

Are you scolding yourself?

They walked on in silence.

Shuibian was at the front of the class, carrying the flag, keeping an eye on the road and the new recruits behind her.

Suddenly a smile appeared on her face, and she said to the back:

"Look at the stones around you."

The girls looked up.

There are scattered traces of white snow around the stone, and I don’t know whether it fell from the sky or condensed naturally.

Sheng reached out and grabbed a handful of snowflakes from the stone and asked, "Can this be eaten?"

"I can't kill you," Ai'er said coldly. "The snow here has been there for who knows how many years. If not a thousand, then hundreds. There's so much dirt in it."

"Oh, I see." Sheng showed a disappointed expression.

"Has it been that long?" After hearing what Ai'er said, Jia showed a curious expression.

"Yes," Nya Nya explained from behind. "The mountaintops are high, and the temperature is very low. It's normal for snow to not melt for thousands of years. Even at the equator, there's snow on the tops of high mountains that has been preserved for years."

"But the mountains here don't seem that high to me. Why are there so much snow?" Sheng asked again.

This question was a bit difficult, and the girls fell silent.

"The apparent height of this mountain is two thousand meters, but I estimate the altitude should be close to three thousand meters." Xia Shu suddenly said.

"why?"

"On the way here, the altitude kept increasing. Maybe you didn't feel it, but I calculated it," Xia Shu replied.

"How to calculate?"

“Feeling Algorithm.”

"..."

Everyone was silent.

Sheng thought for a moment and then asked, "That doesn't make sense. Aren't people going to experience altitude sickness above 3,000 meters? Why don't I feel anything?"

"You also know about altitude sickness?" Aier couldn't help but complain.

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Yes."

"You're so rude! So hurtful!"

"Okay, okay, look at the road!"

Sheng muttered to himself and stopped arguing with Ai'er.

Seeing Xia Shu didn't say anything, Zhan Zhan couldn't help but say, "Xia Shu, you haven't told me why yet. I don't think I have any altitude sickness either."

Xia Shu thought for a moment before hesitantly saying, "Altitude sickness shouldn't set in so quickly. But it could be because some preventive medicine has been added to the food we eat."

This is also the most likely explanation.

The wind got stronger afterwards.

They made a path through the dense snow.

The rope leads the rope, one step at a time.

An unyielding expression and a look that refuses to be outdone.

This group of girls showed Gao Shan what strength is.
