Although the military regulations were strict and the candidates were exhausted, they still lamented one after another.
Haven't we just finished the first exam? The second exam is about to begin. Do we still need to live?
Li Yijian shouted solemnly: "What? Can't you bear this little bit of pain? You have to know that when doing tasks, it doesn't matter whether you have a good rest or whether you have energy. If you want to do it, you have to do it. You can't always wait.
Eat and drink enough, get enough rest, be free from illness and disaster, and prepare for a complete battle. All kinds of fatigue and difficulties are the most common. The frontline is full of dangers, and never complain about why others wait for you!"
"That's the same thing again..."
Qu Huan wanted to rub his sore eyes, but then he smelled the smell on his hands and put it down again. He whispered to Qin Yongcheng next to him: "I think this examiner is also a bit psychopathic. He clearly enjoys torturing us..."
Qin Yongcheng said: "Keep your voice down, he just said not to complain."
Qu Huan said in surprise: "I think your condition is okay?"
Qin Yongcheng said: "I...have been tempered a lot recently."
Qu Huan said disapprovingly: "What kind of training do you have? Aren't we all practicing together in class? After class, I haven't seen you working particularly hard lately?"
Speaking of which, Qin Yongcheng has been alone for the past half month, focusing on reading books and practicing Xuan Gong, and his martial arts practice has been reduced.
Qin Yongcheng knew he had made a mistake, so he changed the subject calmly and said: "Anyway, I have made great progress, you will see it. What do you think the next test will be? Jedi survival? Desert crossing?"
Qu Huan said: "I don't know how I can speculate on this perverted idea..."
At this moment, Li Yijian said: "Form up, the boys' team and the girls' team. Divide into two queues."
The candidates got up anyway, lined up, and were led by the military academy to both sides of the racecourse.
It doesn't look like a large-scale transfer. Could it be held in the venue for the second time?
Qu Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then he raised his mind again, thinking: The teachings said that the easier it is to relax, the more you must raise your mind. They didn't make the examination room very grand, maybe it was just to make the examination room more grand.
How about we let down our guard?
However, there was really nothing going on along the way, and they didn't go too far. The group of people came to the sidelines of the field and outside a straw shed - if it was considered simple and simple, it was probably similar to a horse shed.
The students couldn't help but look embarrassed when they saw the shadows in the stables.
The military academy said loudly: "Go in and get ready to take a shower."
All the students were delighted. No wonder men and women were separated. It turned out to be a bath. They had been staying with the horse for too long and needed a bath.
But... is it just a shower?
"This is your water."
After entering the hut, the students each got a bucket of water. The ice cubes in the water collided slightly, making a clear tinkling sound.
“It’s so cold!”
Hearing this sound, my teeth chattered.
It’s the end of November now!
Of course, the students have a solid foundation in both internal and external skills, and it is not enough to just take a cold shower. Moreover, the training camp originally had a tradition of winter swimming, but now they are exhausted physically and mentally. Taking a cold shower again, feeling cold and hungry, is really a bit frustrating.
"You have a quarter of an hour to heat the water, and then carry the water and pour it into the cold pool in the shed next door. Then you can go in and wash. If everyone heats the water, then mix it with the cold water to get the exact temperature of the pool.
Comfortable hot water, take a nice hot bath to relieve your fatigue. Who thinks you can wash yourself by pouring a bucket of cold water in and rubbing other people's hot water, just to see if other people agree?"
Heat hot water...
How to burn?
There is no need for the examiner to explain it, the candidates will know it themselves.
Of course not with firewood, but with internal energy!
Although the internal force is not as tangible as Gang Qi, it can also be released to the outside and raise the temperature. It is just that the internal force is used to heat the hot water to the point where it can be used for bathing, which consumes too much. Not to mention it has to be mixed with a pool of cold water, and the temperature may still be high.
Be higher.
Especially in such a situation, some people feel exhausted mentally and physically, and their internal energy can no longer function. They don't even have time to adjust their breath, and they still have to boil water? Does this mean they can still live?
"A quarter of an hour, the timer starts."
All the candidates remained silent and put their hands into the cold water to circulate their internal energy. It was not because they wanted to take a more comfortable hot bath, nor because they were afraid that others would not allow them to use the hot water, but because they understood that this was an exam, no matter what they said.
Relaxation, the essence is still assessment. The rules issued by the examiner are iron rules. If you don't follow them, you will be eliminated.
For a while, there was a gurgling sound in each wooden barrel. After a while, some barrels gradually began to steam.
"If you explode with all your strength, the temperature will be reached quickly. But if it is too early, too little hot water will enter the cold pool, and you will still be unable to wash. You will have to wait for others." Qu Huan activated his internal energy while analyzing, "
Moreover, this exam is one step after another, so you have to exercise moderation and leave some internal strength to prevent accidents."
Over there, the teachings are also discussing.
"Boil water, the second level really tests internal strength."
Li Yijian said calmly: "What kind of second level is this? It's just a small screening. Screen out those who are really unqualified. I didn't test Gang Qi, and I can't even train my internal strength well, so there's really no need to do it again.
The assessment has been conducted. It is also very troublesome for us to arrange the safe zone, and not everyone is qualified to go."
Tang Zhaodao: "It is true that it is kind to set thresholds in advance to screen out some students who do not pass the test and prevent them from going to places that are too dangerous."
Li Yijian glanced at him and said, "We don't have any benevolence."
Lan Xiuzhu followed: "Let me just say that although these two exams are difficult, the methods are very conventional. It seems that the mouse pulls the tortoise - the big head is behind?"
Li Yijian said: "Of course, the real fun begins at the front line. But before that, I gave some small gifts to my classmates." He smiled slightly as he spoke.
"Ah...it's so comfortable. I feel like I'm alive."
Qu Huan soaked in the pool, enjoying the turbid hot water surrounding him. The steam curled up like a fairyland, making it difficult for him to see the faces of his classmates who were close at hand.
"This should be the last enjoyment, right?"
"Boss, these words are so unlucky. We brothers still have a long time to live." His younger brother Zhu Li next to him interjected.
Qu Huan sighed and said: "It's not that what I said is unlucky, but the exam is too difficult. You see, after two tests, our brothers have suffered a lot. Do you think we can pass half of the people after these two tests?"
Qu Huan had five younger brothers who followed him to the examination room, but now there are only three left. Eliminating one more will reach the "half" limit he said.
Because of Qu Huan's protection, his younger brothers are somewhat suspected of free riding. In fact, they may not all be qualified to reach the examination room, so it is not surprising that they were eliminated in the previous few games. But it can be seen that the elimination quota for this examination is indeed
Quite a few.
Naturally, Qu Huan couldn't accept the first-class students as his younger brothers, but he didn't look down on those who were too late. His younger brothers were all in the middle. Being eliminated showed that the exam was really difficult.
Zhu Li sighed and said: "This test is indeed difficult, more difficult than the simulation test. In fact, I also passed the test just now. The temperature was just up to the standard. Xiao Chen was behind me, so he didn't come in. In terms of overall strength, he is better than me.
Nothing less than that. I thought he would not fail even if I failed. But his score in the written test would not be low, and I answered randomly. When the results of the written test came out, I also let him go.
Take the first step, I will follow immediately... Bah, bah, bah, why am I not in good luck?"
Instead, Qu Huan comforted him: "I think if they do it this way, even if you pass the last half, it won't be like a normal exam. How can the graduation assessment be so strict? I do think there should be adjustments. Maybe it only takes
If you have some wonderful performances during the exam, you will be judged to be qualified.”
Zhu Lidao: "Really, but if you fail the written test, you won't have a chance..."
Just as he was talking, a soldier came into the shed and said loudly: "The clothes are here. Put them on after washing. Get the supplies and hurry out. The instructions are waiting for you."
Qu Huan thought to himself: "That's okay. We've also prepared our clothes again. We'll be stripped naked first, and then we'll change our clothes. They're all new inside and out. How can we still be afraid of cheating by hiding equipment? It saves us a body search. Look.
The real assessment is coming soon."
In the hearts of the students, they also know that the written test and the small test are just appetizers, and the real assessment comes later. Just like last year when they crossed the canyon under the moonlight night, the Chinese army must have prepared a special feast this time.
An impatient student climbed up from the pool, glanced at the supply bag next to him, and sighed - they often eat this kind of army supply bag, which only contains dry biscuits, pickles and vinegar cloth, which is filling but tastes bad.
It doesn't matter at all. Just eat this after a long day?
Then, he saw the clothes and couldn't help being surprised and said, "What is this?"
I saw that the so-called "clothes" were placed in a basin, and they looked like a ball of gray-green paste.
He reached into the basin and grabbed a handful. It was as if his fingers were inserted into a ball of slippery algae. He fished out a soft ball lying in the palm of his hand. Then he let go and fell back into the basin with a snoring sound, along with the confused mass in the basin.
Mixed into one.
"What is this? Is it also supplies? Doesn't it mean clothes?"
Everyone was astonished. They climbed out of the pool naked one by one. Sure enough, they saw that the supplies were food supply bags and a basin of paste, and there was nothing that looked like clothes.
Most of the students looked at each other, and some asked, "Did I make a mistake?"
Only some students looked thoughtful. Most of them had extraordinary backgrounds, were well-informed, or liked reading and were knowledgeable, so they had an impression of this thing.
Qu Huan was also the well-informed one and sighed softly: "So it's this thing."
His long sigh really attracted attention. Zhu Li had worked with him for many years and had a tacit understanding. He immediately asked: "Boss, what is this?"
Just as Qu Huan was about to speak, he saw a young man step forward, fish out a ball in the basin, rub it and pat it for some reason, and it immediately transformed into a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his body.
Qu Huan was able to get ahead of others and said without further delay, "This is the Zhengpao."
