2973 Back Up, Back Up!
Yes, the result was hard to determine. General Karlisle looked at their country’s compet.i.tion results and saw that they were ranked fourth. The United States was still in first place.
At this moment, seven countries had already completed all the targets in the first compet.i.tion area. The United States continued to be in first place. Their sniper completed the compet.i.tion perfectly.
The partic.i.p.ants from Estonia, the Headgear Commando team from Italy, and the partic.i.p.ants from Germany completed the compet.i.tion very well without making any mistakes.
The Western country from Great Britain was supposed to be ranked sixth, but they were ranked seventh! They were surpa.s.sed by China!
The scores of the countries ranked fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh were not much different. Their rankings could change at any time.
General Karlisle still had some reservations about whether China could enter the top five. He needed to continue watching.
The results of the sniping compet.i.tion were not known immediately. They needed to wait until the sniping targets in the second zone ended tomorrow morning before the partic.i.p.ating members could know the results of the various countries last night.
As for their own results, there was no need for the referee to tell them.
Lieutenant Colonel Saluk knew that he didn’t hit the metal ring. When he retracted his gun, his expression was so gloomy it was as though there was a storm above his head.
He made ample preparations, but in the end, he still failed.
He didn’t know how the situation in China was. Unfortunately, he couldn’t ask about it immediately. If not, he really wanted to ask.
They had already started crossing the swamp. The SFS border defense soldiers tied the metal rings on the ropes tightly. The eight members formed a line and pa.s.sed through the swamp carefully.
This swamp was not big. It was only about three kilometers. It was the smallest swamp they had ever crossed. Although it was the smallest swamp, there were many dangers.
In the distance, wolves howled one after another, as if they were waiting for the arrival of the partic.i.p.ants from the various countries so that they could eat their fill.
“Did you hear something?” Sparrowhawk, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. He was a scout, so he was in charge of leading the way.
Before he was halfway through the three-kilometer swamp, he heard abnormal movements in front of him. It seemed that something was hiding in the tall bushes in front of him.
Soldiers had sharp instincts, especially Sparrowhawk, who was a scout. His instincts were even sharper. When he stopped, the team members behind him stopped too.
T6 was behind Sparrowhawk. He didn’t hear any movement and didn’t feel anything amiss.
Xia Jinyuan said to Ye Jian, “Go with Sparrowhawk and see what’s going on.”
Among them, Ye Jian was the sharpest. Her sensitivity was enough to find the source of the danger immediately. It was most suitable for her to be at the front with Sparrowhawk.
Ye Jian nodded and released the buckle on the rope. She held the rope tightly and moved forward.
The places she stepped on were all places her comrades had already stepped on. Ye Jian quickened her speed a little. When her comrades in front saw her coming over, they immediately reached out to pull her and reminded her to be careful.
When Ye Jian was less than a meter away from Sparrowhawk, the feeling of being stared at made her s.h.i.+ver violently.
“Retreat, all of you! Retreat!”
She said in a low voice. At the same time, she slowly retreated. “Sparrowhawk, retreat now and slow down your footsteps! Captain Xia, Captain Li, prepare to fire!”
