Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 42 The Price of Victory

That morning, two sentries at the gate of the Second Battalion of Recruits saw Li Zheng and Zhang Jian rushing through the gate like madmen, running towards the five-kilometer finish line of the training ground.

Next to the two of them was Wu Yi, the squad leader who kept adding fuel to the fire, and kept shouting: "The last 200 meters, the last 200 meters, go for me! Go!"

When the three of them rushed through the gate like a gust of wind, Sentinel A looked around the way they came, but he didn't see any other recruits.

Sentinel A touched his hat, and said to Sentinel B opposite with a look of surprise: "Fuck! These two boys are so far away from the main force?"

Sentinel B also came here, and it was obvious that the two new recruits were running ahead.

"Do you think they can run into 22?"

Sentinel A said: "Ghost knows, I didn't time it, either this year's recruits are all weak, or these two guys are too strong."

On the finish line, company commander Xie Dong stood there with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth.

This morning, all four of his companies are doing five-kilometer tests.

He came to see the results.

The duty platoon leader with the duty armband pointed to the distance and suddenly shouted: "I'm back!"

Xie Dong subconsciously said: "So fast?!"

He walked to the finish line and asked the third squad leader of Kabiao: "Chen Zhong, how many minutes is it?"

The third squad leader, Chen Zhong, held the stopwatch in front of Xie Dong and said, "Not bad, it's only reached 20 minutes and 18 seconds, and it's not yet 21 minutes. This result is okay."

Xie Dong had a look of joy on his face when he heard this, and turned his head to look in the direction of the gate. He could vaguely tell that one of the three people was Wu Yi, and the other two were Zhang Jian and Li Zheng.

These two boys can do it!
Now it is less than 200 meters away from the finish line. If we work harder, it is estimated that it is really possible to run within 21 minutes.

Although it was barehanded, there were very few recruits who ran within 21 points in the first test.

"Ai!"

He waved to Wu Yi and the others.

"Li Zheng and Zhang Jian! Hurry up, both of you! Try to score 21 points!"

The voice was loud and echoed over the training ground.

It's just that Li Zheng and Zhang Jian didn't hear it.

The two of them have entered a state of complete selflessness, and the only perception is whether the other party surpasses them in their peripheral vision.

Whoever overtakes the opponent will definitely speed up towards death.

As a result, no one can surpass anyone.

Zhang Jian was very anxious. He wanted to dump Li Zheng, but unfortunately he couldn't.

He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.

When I first started running, in order to show my strength, I deliberately took the lead and ran at the front of the platoon. I deliberately wanted the squad leaders to see my strength and pay attention to myself.

In fact, such acceleration is unscientific for the distribution of physical strength in long-distance running. This kind of disadvantage gradually appeared after Li Zheng competed with him, and it became more obvious after entering the last two kilometers.

If he hadn't rushed so hard at first, Zhang Jian should have the strength to throw Li Zheng at least 20 meters away.

But now it's too late.

"20 minutes and 54 seconds!"

When the two crossed the finish line, Chen Zhong, the squad leader in charge of the clock, pressed the stopwatch.

Li Zheng relaxed and walked a few steps staggeringly. It seemed as if a dark cloud covered his face in his sight, appearing and disappearing for a while.

After walking a few staggering steps, he suddenly fell headfirst onto the grass.

"Hey! Li Zheng!"

The company commander Xie Dong was taken aback.

Li Zheng obviously ran out of strength and passed out.

This situation is very dangerous, if it is not handled properly, accidents will happen!
He rushed up quickly, wanting to give first aid.

But within two steps, there was another bang from the side.

There was an exclamation from over there, it was Wu Yi who was shouting.

"Zhang Jian, what's wrong with you?!"

Looking back, I saw that kid Zhang Jian also fell down in the lawn by the roadside.

"Quick! Run to the battalion headquarters to inform Doctor Bai and the health workers! Tell them to bring first aid medicine and a stretcher, and say that they have run away and fainted!"

Wu Yi didn't say a word, let go of his feet and rushed to the battalion.

……

Li Zheng finally opened his eyes, and the light blue sky came into view.

The sky is just bright, and there are thin clouds in the distance, spreading the sky like fish scales, which is really beautiful.

He seemed to hear someone calling himself, but he couldn't hear clearly through something, like he was hiding in the water.

Several familiar and unfamiliar faces appeared in sight, including the company commander Xie Dong, the squad leader Wu Yi, and two unknown faces.

A captain he didn't know reached out and wiped something in his nostrils, and the stimulating smell made him feel refreshed.

Then I heard the captain say, "Put his feet up, put his head down, and let the blood flow back."

Then, someone hurriedly carried him onto something, he was lifted up in the air, and ran in one direction...

After that, Li Zheng fainted again.

After fully waking up, Li Zheng was already lying on a makeshift hospital bed in the infirmary of the battalion headquarters.

Li Zheng tried to move his hands and feet, as if nothing happened.

Tilting his head, he saw Zhang Jian sitting on the opposite bed.

Zhang Jian held a cup in his hand, drinking while looking at himself.

Li Zheng got up, sat on the edge of the bed and watched without speaking.

Zhang Jianxian said: "I didn't expect you to fight so hard, and you can still cross the finish line with me."

Li Zheng said, "You look down on people, don't you? This is the level of your sports practice?"

Zhang Jian's face flushed slightly, and he continued, "Take it easy, don't have a heart attack."

Li Zheng looked around and knew that this was a medical office.

Why is Zhang Jian here?

He must have been sent here too, it was impossible to come here to take care of himself.

"You fainted too?" Li Zheng smiled.

Zhang Jian was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then said: "I just felt a little dizzy all of a sudden. The military doctor saw that my face was a little ugly, so he asked me to come here and have a glass of sugar water."

After speaking, he shook the cup in his hand.

Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and the captain military doctor appeared in front of the two of them.

Seeing that both of them were awake, the captain said, "I'll check my heart rhythm, and if there's nothing wrong, I can go back. You two recruits are really fighting for your life. It's not like you are competing for the Olympic gold medal. I ran out of strength just now. Fainting at the finish line together, this situation can be big or small, if you are not careful, you may even die..."

While talking, he checked Zhang Jian with a stethoscope, and then checked Li Zheng again.

After the inspection, the captain waved his hand and said, "Go to the hygienist to get some glucose, go back and drink it with water, your body is fine! Remember next time, don't forget to fight to the death, you are quite a martyr?"

The two left the infirmary amidst the captain's doctor's orders, and walked in the corridor. Li Zheng glanced at Zhang Jian beside him, and said with a half-smile, "It's just dizziness, right?"

Zhang Jian snorted, didn't answer, and walked away from Li Zheng towards Silian.
