2922 Too Shameless
Saluk didn’t believe that the Chinese partic.i.p.ants would say anything good about them. Since the beginning of this year, the relations.h.i.+p between the two countries had been tense. Both sides had said sharp words and refused to give in.
At this stage, he didn’t believe that those cunning Chinese partic.i.p.ants would cheer for the exciting performance of their SFS border defense team.
He didn’t believe it, and the Italian commander wouldn’t explain too much. In short, the Italian commander just wanted to stay away from this guy who was full of lies and arrogance.
Number one in Asia?
Sorry, if the Italian citizens had to choose who was the number one in their hearts, it would undoubtedly be China!
That mysterious Eastern country had mysterious martial arts that people yearned for.
When the Italian commander said that the Chinese partic.i.p.ants had already left through this designated route, Saluk, who wanted to chase after the Italian team and explain, immediately jumped up and waved at the resting members. “Everyone, get up! They’ve already surpa.s.sed us! Get up!”
There were no imaginary enemies in the next ten kilometers. There was only the control station. After reaching the control station, they would receive their next mission—sniping shooting.
The sniping shooting was carried out at the same time. The country that reached the control station first would get points. At the same time, they could rest for a longer time because they needed to wait for the last country’s partic.i.p.ants to arrive.
When Saluk heard that the Chinese partic.i.p.ants had already gone over, he was in no mood to rest. The moment he thought about how the Chinese partic.i.p.ants might arrive at the control station before the SFS border defense soldiers, he felt as if thousands of ants were biting him.
After less than five minutes of rest, Saluk led his team members and ran toward the control station.
Many things happened in the compet.i.tion today. Whether it was the four countries that partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion for the first time or the Western countries that had partic.i.p.ated in it several times, they were affected by the rain. Some fell and limped while walking, some were bitten by poisonous insects, and some bled. Some even had to give up more than three penalty slips.
There were only ten penalty slips in total. If they handed in ten, it meant that they had been ‘sacrificed.’ If they handed in three, it meant that more than half of them were dead!
Big Eel from China handed in two. His chin was injured, and he fell when he was being chased. When he was surrounded by six Estonian National Defense soldiers, he simply protected the first team and rushed out. Then, he obediently handed in a penalty slip before following the main team.
The Chinese team didn’t even rest for a minute and headed toward the control station.
They would rather rest at the control station than rest halfway. This was what Xia Jinyuan said.
Under Xia Jinyuan’s lead, the eight Chinese partic.i.p.ants didn’t rest for a minute even though they were walking very slowly. They arrived at the control station at 1:30 pm local time. They arrived an hour earlier than they should have. They arrived 37 minutes later than the first-place American team and 11 minutes later than the fourth-place British team.
The Chinese were the fifth to arrive at the control station and started their one-hour rest.
They were all too tired. In addition, the sniping shooting started at three o’clock. The partic.i.p.ating members of the various countries greeted each other briefly and found a place to rest. There was no other communication.
However, because Ye Jian was a female soldier, they were still very concerned about her.
The partic.i.p.ants sent by the United States even specially came over to greet Ye Jian. Although they were compet.i.tors, compared to Saluk, the United States’ att.i.tude was considered friendly.
