Chapter 21 Report, our platoon leader is missing!
At this moment, a figure rushed out like an arrow.
Who else could it be besides Zhang Chuan?
When Zhang Chuan appeared outside in an instant, Captain Gao couldn't help but glance at the watch on his wrist.
"It only took fifteen seconds!"
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
In a smoke-filled warehouse caused by gas bombs, someone was able to dress fully armed in the dark in just fifteen seconds.
Even the most battle-hardened veterans would find it difficult to achieve such a fast speed.
What was even more surprising was that Zhang Chuan stepped out of the smoke, his eyes were bright without any red bloodshot, and there was no sign of coughing.
This meant that he was completely unaffected by the irritating fumes from the gas bombs.
Could it be that he completed this series of actions without breathing or closing his eyes?
How did he manage to get the equipment done so quickly?
Faced with everyone's confusion and shock, the other recruits also rushed out of the warehouse one after another.
They were either coughing violently or hurriedly wiping away their tears, their miserable appearance formed a sharp contrast with Zhang Chuan.
"High School Team, the physiques of these recruits and that kid are so different!" Gray Wolf sighed.
The high school team curled their lips and said, "Aren't we different from him?"
Gray Wolf was speechless for a moment, and the high school team continued:
"But you have to understand that the criteria for becoming a special forces soldier are not just physical fitness, but also include shooting skills, physical fitness, mine-laying and mine-clearing technology, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities, infiltration operations, electronic information processing and many other skills."
"At present, this kid's performance in shooting, physical fitness and fighting is indeed outstanding, but this is only part of the skills required of a special forces soldier. In order to become an excellent special forces soldier, he must also reach an excellent level in other special operations skills! It depends on whether he can maintain such outstanding talent!"
Gray Wolf and other veteran members of the Wolf Fang team nodded in agreement.
"You are all crying and more delicate than women! Hurry up and line up!" the high school team shouted loudly.
The rookies hurriedly wiped away their tears, endured the discomfort, and stood up straight!
The senior team leader glanced down at his watch and said coldly: "It is three o'clock in the morning. The weather is fine today. It is another day full of hope."
"Therefore, in order to welcome this beautiful day, I decided to take you to climb the highest peak of the Langya training base to watch the sunrise!"
"It's not far, only about five or six kilometers in a straight line. For you scouts, it's just a stroll!"
"In order to give you a little more challenge, I have specially prepared some weight-bearing equipment for you!"
The high school team pointed to a log about 1.5 meters long and 20 centimeters in diameter and announced loudly: "Each of you carry a log and you must carry it to the top of the mountain! Remember, if the log slips off your shoulders once, five points will be deducted!"
"If you fail to reach the top of the mountain before sunrise, you will be deducted ten points!"
"Now, pick up your logs and get going!"
"report!"
At this moment, another loud shout was heard.
The person who spoke was Zhuang Yan.
"Tell me!" the high school team responded.
"Report to the chief instructor, my platoon leader is missing!" Zhuang Yan shouted anxiously.
Zheng Sanpao and Chen Xiwa both turned their heads to look, and sure enough, Chen Pai was nowhere to be seen.
They remembered that before going to bed last night, Chen Pai was still lying in bed.
Is he still in the warehouse?
"Your platoon leader withdrew from the selection due to injury and has returned to his original unit!" Captain Gao replied.
"What? When did my platoon leader get injured? How come I didn't know?" Zhuang Yan's face suddenly changed. "I said he was injured, so he was injured. Do I need to report it to you?" Captain Gao walked up to Zhuang Yan and scolded him harshly.
"If you really want to see your platoon leader, put your helmet under the flag-raising platform and you can see him immediately when you return to your old unit!"
“You…” Zhuang Yan was furious.
He is a man who values friendship and loyalty, and Chen Pai is like his own brother to him.
He also knew that becoming a Langya special forces soldier was Chen Paiyi's lifelong pursuit. Now, he was told overnight that he was sent back to the reconnaissance company due to injury. How could he not be extremely anxious?
"Xiao Zhuang!" Seeing Zhuang Yan about to act impulsively, Zhang Chuan spoke out in time to stop him.
"What the chief instructor said is true. Paige Chen did withdraw from the selection due to injury. You all went to bed last night, but I didn't. I could hear Paige Chen groaning in pain on the bed."
"So I reported it to the instructor. You should remember that when he was in the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, Platoon Leader Chen often suffered from unbearable knee pain during training, right? That was his old injury, and he had been hiding his condition. If he continues to train, it is likely to cause irreparable damage to his body!"
After Zhang Chuan mentioned this, Zhuang Yan remembered that Chen Pai did have joint pain when he was in the reconnaissance company.
He also asked Chen Pai, but Chen Pai always said it was due to fatigue and did not attract much attention from Zhuang Yan.
I didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
"Rookie No. 08, who allowed you to speak without reporting?"
The high school team glared at Zhang Chuan and said, "Deduct five points!"
The old Langya who was in charge of the points statistics immediately made a note of this in his notebook.
"Yes!"
Zhang Chuan did not refute, but just signaled Zhuang Yan to calm down with his eyes, and then stood up straight.
After being comforted by Zhang Chuan, Zhuang Yan stopped talking even though he was still worried about Chen Pai.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and carry the logs and go up the mountain!"
The high school team gave the order again.
"Yes!" The rookies rushed towards the pile of logs.
"Rookie No. 08!" the high school team shouted.
"Here!" Zhang Chuan stood at attention and responded loudly.
"Your log is over there!" The high school team pointed in another direction.
Zhang Chuan turned around and saw a log that was two meters long and at least twenty-five centimeters in diameter, soaked in mud and water in a puddle.
Zhuang Yan and others also noticed the situation here and couldn't help but gasp.
The logs in their hands were all dry and weighed about fifteen kilograms.
Zhang Chuan's was not only longer and thicker, but also soaked in water.
It is well known that a log soaked in water weighs at least twice as much as a dry log!
This means that the log Zhang Chuan was carrying might weigh more than 40 kilograms, more than twice as much as theirs!
Running with a wet and overweight log on your back is much more difficult than climbing a mountain with the equipment on your back.
Who can carry a log weighing more than 40 kilograms to the top of the mountain?
What's more, the weight in Zhang Chuan's backpack was much heavier than theirs!
"Thank you, Chief Instructor!" However, amid everyone's astonished gazes, Zhang Chuan did not care at all, but instead seemed extremely excited.
He smiled happily and ran towards the wet log, picked it up and carried it steadily on his shoulders!
"Thank...thank you?"
The corners of the mouths of the high school team and other Wolf Fang veterans could not help but twitch.
This guy is a monster!
