Chapter 2890
2890 Race Against Time
It was not good news that someone was injured on the first day.
Knowing that their comrade was injured, everyone felt a little depressed.
It wasn’t that they hadn’t carried 35 kilograms of equipment during training, but the terrain of the eastern forest was extremely complicated. In addition, it rained last night. They weren’t familiar with the terrain, so sometimes, if they used too much strength, they would trip over small rocks hidden in the grass. Then, they would slip and fall.
This was exactly what happened to Big Shark. It looked like a flat area of grass, but who knew that he would trip and fall?
He almost bit his tongue off.
He didn’t need Xia Jinyuan’s help with the wound on his chin. He opened the sanitary bag and quickly treated the wound. The wound was a little deep, and the flesh could be seen. Even so, Big Shark didn’t ask Xia Jinyuan for help, whether it was when he was disinfecting it or when he was tying the gauze. He did a good job doing it all by himself.
The German participants arrived at the shooting venue of China, the United States, and Germany in an hour and 16 minutes. At this moment, the eight American participants had already entered the last round of shooting.
The Chinese participants had not arrived, and it had been quite long. There were only 13 minutes left.
There were two other countries that had already started shooting. They only needed to complete two rounds of shooting before the round ended.
Xia Jinyuan stuffed the pen and notebook into his bag, then fixed the gauze on Big Eel’s chin with medical tape. Then, he rushed out of the blockade with Big Eel.
One hour and 23 minutes later, the observer team finally saw the figures of the Chinese soldiers. At this moment, participating soldiers from six countries had already completed their gun shooting and were going ahead with the next ten kilometers.
Karlisle looked at the time. Seven minutes. There were only seven minutes left!
If all eight members used consecutive shots to complete their shooting, they would be able to complete it in five minutes and wouldn’t be penalized. Next, they had to speed up their march to make up for their delay earlier. If they managed to do it, they wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to reach the next control station within the stipulated time.
General Hywell heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw the Chinese team members.
Just as he was about to turn his head and talk to General Karlisle, General Karlisle, who was separated by two other generals, praised, “The strength displayed by the Chinese soldiers is commendable. Although they came late, they didn’t exceed the time limit. Also, none of them handed in their penalty slips. The ten penalty slips are still in their pockets. It’s not bad for a country that’s participating for the first time.”
These words suppressed the mockery in General Hywell’s mouth. His country’s participants… One of the members was successfully surrounded by the Estonian National Defense soldiers and handed in a penalty slip.
Although the Chinese were slow, they didn’t hand over a penalty slip. This meant that their tactics were very stable.
Even so, the military officials and the generals of the observation team were still focused on the American team.
Especially since the American team had already entered the next ten-kilometer cross-country point, there was nothing outstanding about the calmness of the Chinese team.
“Continuous shooting, start!”
As Xia Jinyuan spoke, the Chinese team members, who were still carrying 35 kilograms of equipment, stood in a line and took out their guns from their holsters.
After a few clicks, the bullets were loaded. Ye Jian stood at the front. She had already raised her gun and was looking ahead with a sharp gaze. Her heart was as calm as water as she aimed at the center of the target. As the referee blew the whistle, five bullets were fired continuously.
