3000 Another Problem
Ye Jian was the fifth person to enter the water. Her right leg was the first to enter the water. Without any hesitation, she naturally stepped her left leg into the water. The water was just above her knees. The cold water from the dark river stimulated the wounds on her knees. She froze, the wounds numb from the cold.
The flowing water in the dark river had a certain impact. From the start, the water surged and reached her waist. It was very, very cold. It was so cold that even her hair seemed to be frozen. It was so cold that her blood flow lost its warmth. When it flowed back to her heart, even her heart, which should have been warm, was cold.
“We’re in the deep waters now. There’s still the second…”
Before Xia Jinyuan could say the next word, he immediately changed his words. “Lean to the right.” After he finished speaking, he tried his best to move his hands to the right. The water on the right…
“Warm? The water is getting warmer?!”
Sparrowhawk, who was following behind him, revealed his discovery in surprise.
That was right. There was a warm current flowing into the cold river. The temperature was quite high, turning the bone-chilling cold water into a warm current.
This was a hot spring. Only hot spring water could have such an effect.
After walking for three kilometers in the ice water for almost 40 minutes, they were so cold that their lips had turned purple. If they continued like this, they would definitely freeze to death. However, even if they knew that they would freeze to death, they still had to continue.
Now, the cold river water had merged with the high-temperature hot spring water and became very warm. After a while, the eight Chinese special forces soldiers with purple lips felt warm all over. Even their lips returned to normal.
The lights on their helmets lit up the dark underground world. Amidst the sound of running water, the Chinese special forces soldiers, whose limbs were half sore, started their last sprint.
They had already seen the light in front of them. That was the exit of the undercurrent.
Gradually, the water became less warm. When they were about to reach the exit, the temperature of the river dropped drastically. The warmth disappeared and the water turned bone-chilling.
Xia Jinyuan climbed up the rock with both hands and stepped on Sparrowhawk’s shoulder with his legs. With the help of Big Shark and G3, his slender and tall body finally climbed up.
They tied the safety rope to a st.u.r.dy pine tree. Then, their comrades, who were still in the river, grabbed the safety rope tightly and climbed to the sh.o.r.e one by one on the uneven rock surface.
There were traces of someone stepping on the sh.o.r.e. These were the footprints left behind by the partic.i.p.ating special forces soldiers.
The Chinese partic.i.p.ants left a trail for the SFS border defense soldiers to see.
After looking at the scene in front for a few minutes, Saluk didn’t look at it anymore. The footprints were too messy. It was impossible to tell how many partic.i.p.ating teams had pa.s.sed by here to go to the ‘Flying Daggers’ compet.i.tion venue.
Flying Daggers was also a difficult task. The members needed to use standard daggers. As they moved, they needed to throw them accurately at the target ten meters away.
For instance, when the military officer said ‘arms,’ the team member would immediately throw the standard dagger in their hand and stab the arm of the human target.
They needed a high level of attention and their body coordination needed to be perfect. When the military officer gave the order, the standard dagger in their hand had to immediately shoot out to hit the target that the military officer mentioned.
This was a new subject that only came out this year. It had never been done before.
Hence, when the few partic.i.p.ants in front arrived, they couldn’t help but scratch their heads.
