Chapter 40

In addition to this sleepless night, Shao Fei has not closed his eyes for two consecutive days and two nights.It is said that you will be fine after a night of sleep, but there is no time to make up for sleep in the marching arrangement.At 5 o'clock in the evening, all the troops received the order and set off immediately, arriving at the last stronghold of this assessment—coordinate point 046 before dusk.

It's the last day, no matter how tired you are, you have to hold on.The young soldiers who had just experienced setbacks lined up in the night and the cool wind. Shao Fei used the lights in the corridor of the headquarters to plan the marching route on the contour map. The red pen walked through the messy threads, just like his Confused red bloodshot eyes.His voice was a little hoarse, and he waved the map at everyone: "Brothers, let's go!"

This journey was more difficult than the trek on the second day. The honor ahead stimulated every beating heart. Shao Fei was always leading the way. Xiao Muting looked at his back and remembered what he said in the middle of the night.

"Captain, I can't figure out something recently. When I figure it out, can you sit with me like today and listen to me?"

There are many things that a 20-year-old boy can't figure out.Xiao Muting recalled that when he was as old as Shao Fei, he couldn't figure out why the beef patties in the cafeteria were always so salty, why Luo Feng kept getting along with him, and why some soldiers would die after training—it wasn't anything after all. Big deal.

But Shao Fei's tone made him feel that it was not a trivial matter, at least it was not such a trivial matter as why the beef patties were salty.

From Xiao Muting's point of view, Shao Fei's back is tall and straight, his legs are straight, and he is carrying a knapsack like a hill on his back.

Already a very reliable soldier.

But if you look at the face, the word "reliable" may have to be replaced with "cute".A very cute soldier.

Xiao Muting smiled helplessly, Shao Fei just looked cute in front of him, he would cry when he was wronged, he would yell when he was in pain, and he would be shy when the place was inflamed. ; and when he was with other fighters, Shao Fei was decisive and strong, and he could indeed bear the word "reliable".

Near noon, the team members had not eaten for more than ten hours, but there was no supply all day this day, and it took a lot of time to find "game".After discussing with several other backbone fighters, Shao Fei decided to continue marching, trying to reach the 046 coordinate point as quickly as possible.

No one objected, everyone was desperately trying to suppress fatigue with excitement as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Xiao Muting didn't stop him, just like these anxious soldiers back then, he "does anything" for the mission.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the most difficult obstacle on the road appeared. A small river with extremely fast currents cut off the way, and the soldiers had to swim to the opposite bank to reach their destination on time.

Shao Fei stood on the shore with a solemn expression.When planning the route, he didn't miss the river, but he didn't expect the speed of the river to be so fast.According to the idea before departure, when we arrive here, the team members should launch into the water in unison and swim with arms.Even if someone is exhausted, teammates take care of each other and swim there is no problem.

But in the current situation, not to mention a few players in the team whose physical strength is close to exhaustion, even he, Ai Xin and other fighters who can still support may not be able to cross the river safely.

A safety rope must be erected!

But who swam over to tie the safety rope?

Shao Fei grinded his back molars, and slowly clenched his fingers tightly.Naturally, he is the one who knows best about his own body. Shao Fei has been holding on, but he gradually feels powerless.

If you swim hard, maybe there will be an accident.And if someone else is asked to tie the safety rope, the chance of an accident will only be greater than if he did it himself.

After making up his mind, Shao Fei roared to the back, asking his teammates to quickly connect the hemp ropes they were carrying.

Ai Xin rushed forward: "You are still like this? Let me do it, I have better physical strength than you!"

"What a fart." Shao Fei pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile: "I lost to me in the 20-kilometer armed cross-country."

"That's land!" Ai Xin said and wanted to grab the rope.

"You're no match for me in the water." Shao Fei said while tying a rope around his waist, "How many times have you beaten me in Armed Swimming?"

"I……"

"Okay, don't argue with me. Help me hold on to the rope on the shore, in case... I mean in case, in case I get fainted, you are responsible for pulling me as fast as possible Come back. At that time, it will be up to you or Xuefeng to go there and tie the safety rope." Shao Fei patted his waist: "We swam rivers that were more rapid than this in the selection training before, but it was melted glacier water, so cold I can't recover for a long time. Don't worry, there is a rope, I can't die."

"What are you dying for?" Ai Xin roared, "Don't be a fucking crow!"

Shao Fei took a deep breath, pretending to be majestic, but his heart was still a little empty.When the condition is right, swimming this kind of river is like playing, but now he is in the state of "red blood", and every cell in his body is clamoring: no, let's rest.

But the captain of the aircraft must not shrink!

Xiao Muting stepped forward, Shao Fei said in a rough voice: "Captain, I'm ready!"

The team leader cannot veto the decision made by the team leader. No matter how worried Xiao Muting was, he still couldn't pick out a team member in better condition to cross the river and tie the safety rope.

"En." Xiao Muting stretched out his hand to hold the hemp rope around Shao Fei's waist, untied the already tied knot, tied a new one, and pulled it hard, almost pulling Shao Fei into his arms.

This situation couldn't be more normal, after tying the knot, you have to try it out, but Shao Fei has a ghost in his heart, his heartbeat speeds up suddenly, and his originally pale face suddenly turns red.He hurriedly took a step back, lowered his head and grabbed the hemp rope and said, "Captain, then I, I'll pass."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Shao Fei felt that Xiao Muting looked at him with deeper eyes than before.

But he didn't have time to think about it. After Rushui, the sense of fatigue hit him relentlessly like the waves around him. He gritted his teeth and struggled to the opposite bank with the hemp rope with all his strength.

The water spray hit the face crazily, the eyes were sore and sore that they couldn't open them, and the body was hit and rushed downstream, as if they would be sucked into the bottom of the water in the next second.

The shouts of teammates came from the shore, and Ai Xin roared the loudest.Shao Fei had no way to respond, he could only use up his remaining strength, little by little, like a snail, to cut a path in the torrent.

He choked on water, but fortunately he didn't faint.The respiratory tract, nose, eyes, and even the chest cavity were in terrible pain. The river water poured into the ears, and the shouts of teammates could not be heard. The whole hearing was filled with a dull buzzing sound. I don’t know if it was severe tinnitus or my brain was damaged by the waves up.

Shao Fei shook his head vigorously, held his breath and continued to swim forward, but when he was about to arrive, he choked on another sip of water, so uncomfortable that his eyes turned black...

When he climbed to the shore, his whole body was shaking, but he had no time to rest. Holding his numb legs, he struggled to move to the side of a thick tree. After tying the hemp rope, he knelt down. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get up.

Relying on this safety rope, the team members successfully crossed the river. The "hero" Shao Fei failed, his eyes were red and he collapsed on the ground, he was so tired that he couldn't even speak.

For the rest of the journey, the captain of the aircraft could no longer go on.

Ai Xin threw the luggage on the ground, grabbed Shao Fei's arm and carried it on her back, but Xiao Muting interrupted: "Let me do it."

When being picked up by Xiao Muting, Shao Fei let out a slight "huh".Xiao Muting knew what he wanted to say, and comforted him in a slow voice: "Our team leader is already very powerful, let's sleep for a while, and leave the rest to everyone. Your rucksack and equipment are all with Ai Xin, and you won't lose them .”

Shao Fei wrapped his arms around Xiao Muting's neck, and gently pressed his face against it.He is not a petite little boy, a special soldier of 1 meters, as heavy as he wants.

Worried about making Xiao Muting tired, he wanted to get down and walk by himself, but he was really reluctant to bear this reliable shoulder.

Shao Fei even breathed very lightly, as if this could reduce his weight and make Xiao Muting more relaxed.

The team changed other players to open the way, and Xiao Muting walked at the end with Shao Fei on his back.Shao Fei couldn't speak at first, but now he gradually calmed down and said softly: "Captain."

"Huh?" Xiao Muting didn't turn his head, nor stopped, "What's wrong?"

"If you are tired, just let me down, I can walk by myself." In fact, I still want to lean on your back.

"There's still a while, I'll let you down when we're almost at the destination, there's a red flag there, the team leader has to pull it down." Xiao Muting lifted him up as he spoke, his voice was a bit laborious: "It's really heavy."

"Ah...then I'll go by myself." Shao Fei was embarrassed: "I'm so heavy..."

"At your age, it's better to be calm." Xiao Muting said: "It means that you have good physical fitness and good appetite."

Shao Fei lowered the corner of his lips: "Captain, you are making fun of me."

"You child, compliments must be interpreted as teasing."

"I'm not a child anymore, I'm going to be 21 soon!" Shao Fei frowned, especially not wanting to hear Xiao Muting call him a "child".

Xiao Muting laughed softly: "Okay, it's not a child anymore, it's the captain of the plane."

Shao Fei's heart was pinched a little bit, numb, and quietly buried his face on Xiao Muting's shoulder, and sniffed it carefully, thinking that it was done very secretly, but Xiao Muting said: "Don't smell it, my body is the same as yours, only Sweat, mud, and the tide of the river."

"I didn't smell it!" Shao Fei quickly retorted, "I just bumped into it by accident!"

Xiao Muting didn't argue with him, he was really tired from the journey, and even struggled to speak.

After walking for a while, Shao Fei suddenly asked: "Captain, when you taught us to carry the wounded last time, we should put them across our shoulders. Is our posture incorrect?"

"Why, you still want me to carry you upside down?"

"That's not true." Shao Fei shook his head. Of course being carried on his back was more comfortable than being carried on his back. The feeling of being carried by Qi Nanxu during practice was so uncomfortable that he felt dizzy and nauseous when he recalled it.

"That's transporting the wounded in an emergency, and you're not the wounded." Xiao Muting said, "But if you want to feel it, I can also lift you up."

Shao Fei thought about how he was lying on Xiao Muting's shoulder like a sack, and couldn't help laughing.

The 046 coordinate point is approaching, and the red flag on the top of the mountain is against the light of the setting sun.

The team members have already started cheering, Xiao Muting patted Shao Fei's leg: "Can you go by yourself?"

"Yes!" Shao Fei's feet fell to the ground, Xiao Muting helped him up again, patted his shoulder and said, "Go, Captain."

The red flag fluttered, and Shao Fei pulled it up, posing a sniper pose to the surveillance drone hovering in the sky.

That posture was very handsome, but when he turned to Xiao Muting, that tough handsomeness turned into pure innocence, which directly moved people's hearts.
