【Flying Leaf】God of War

Chapter 46

The assembly whistle rang before dawn, and everyone cheered up to pack up and go out to assemble.

Before leaving, Ye Xiu glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the dormitory. The pointer was wobbly pointing at the position of 2. He frowned, and an unexplainable feeling flashed in his heart.

The night was cool, everyone was wearing vests and coats, and it was chilly to stand on the empty playground.They stood there for more than half an hour before the instructor came out slowly, without talking nonsense, and went straight to fifty laps.

The old rule is to rest first when you are done.

The playground is huge, with a distance of more than 1000 meters in one lap. It is late at night, and half of the few street lights are out.In such an environment where he couldn't see his fingers, Sun Xiang had to squint his eyes to see the white line under his feet clearly, so as not to run out of range.

The surrounding area was penetratingly quiet, and the rustling sound of insects could be faintly heard, buried in the chaotic footsteps.The originally neat line gradually spread out, the fast ones were at the front, and the slow ones were naturally swaying at the end; Ye Xiu followed at the end of the line, but Liu Hao rushed to the first place desperately, not forgetting the usual Turning around, he cast a provocative look from a distance of tens of meters.

It's a pity, it's too dark around, Ye Xiu won't see it at all, he jogged lightly like sleepwalking, always keeping a close distance from No. [-].

Sun Xiang originally wanted to rush to the first place, but found that Ye Xiu fell to the last place as if he hadn't woken up. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to slow down, shoulder to shoulder with that person.

In the darkness, someone chuckled lightly.

In the next few laps, some people started to lose their strength, and the overall speed suddenly slowed down a lot. Ye Xiu still kept the original speed, and the distance between them and No.1 had gradually narrowed.

Then, someone panicked.

To Liu Hao, Ye Xiu was no different from a wolf stalking in the dark, and could pounce on him anytime and anywhere to give him a fatal blow.That's why Liu Hao didn't dare to relax. He tensed his nerves and rushed forward like crazy, but his physical strength was always limited. Maybe he succeeded in widening the distance at the beginning, but the further he got to the back, the more difficult it became.

But he was not reconciled.

The footsteps became heavier and heavier, and the wind hurt his face like a knife. Liu Hao breathed heavily with his mouth wide open. His cheeks were flushed, his dehydrated lips were dry and peeled, and his vision gradually blurred.

Even so, the sound of steady footsteps sounded like a reminder from behind, not in a hurry, and always maintaining the original rhythm.

On the last lap, everyone started to sprint.

The two people who were at the end of the team speeded up at the same time. Sun Xiang's body was slightly arched, the center of gravity of his upper body was lowered, and he galloped on the track like a hunting beast. The only thing in his eyes was the prey-like finish line.

Ye Xiu's speed was no less than his, even faster, but in order to preserve his strength, he did not continue to exert strength after running first, but maintained the current speed, and did not stand on his knees until the end of the last lap. Step aside and rest.

Wiping the sweat off his face, Ye Xiu straightened up slowly, just in time to meet Liu Hao's staring red eyes; he touched his nose innocently, and looked away.

The two who completed the task first rested, and the rest had to run ten more laps. The others except Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang had already started to run consciously. Although Liu Hao was out of breath, he could only follow along go up.

After everyone finished running, the instructor didn't say rest, but directly led them to the shooting range.

At this time, it was still dark, and the surrounding street lights were deliberately turned off. In the darkness, only the headlights of the cars illuminated a small area in front of us.The instructor jumped out of the car, took out the firearms in the trunk and put them in the open space, and asked them to come up one by one to collect them.

The moment Ye Xiu got the gun in his hand, he fiddled with it a few times habitually, and sure enough, the sight was crooked.

It seems that this is testing their night combat ability?Holding the cold barrel of the gun, Ye Xiu felt relieved for no reason. Ye Xiu squinted his eyes and simply ignored the front sight and turned his gaze directly to the target in the distance.In such a dim light, he could only vaguely see a bit of white that didn't match the surroundings. He clicked his tongue lightly, put himself in a good posture, and quietly pulled the trigger with his finger.

The moment the instructor shouted the password, gunshots erupted everywhere.

Nearly half of the people found something wrong with the front sight, while the other half didn't notice this problem and continued to shoot in a satisfactory manner.When they called to stop, most of the targets had only a few bullet holes, only Ye Xiu had thirty bullets all within the fifth ring, and even Sun Xiang missed one of the targets.

He curled his lips a little dissatisfied, staring at the paper target with only 29 bullet holes, wishing he could make a hole.

Just as everyone was eagerly waiting for the second round of shooting, the instructor told them that the next step was a ten-kilometer cross-country.So everyone had no choice but to reluctantly put down the barrel of the gun that hadn't had time to heat it up, and completed the new task with a bitter face.

The location of the training camp is still deep in the mountains, surrounded by woods. There is a wide avenue out of the main entrance. rushed forward.

The soldiers could only follow behind the car, and were sprayed all over their faces by the exhaust.

It is difficult to travel at night, but they have to gallop on these potholed yellow land. Ten kilometers is not long or short, but the previous training has consumed a lot of energy, and there is no dinner tonight, everyone is hungry. He was dragged directly from his sleep to purgatory with his stomach full.

Persistence is a victory in itself.

Vigorously wiping the sweat off his forehead, Sun Xiang felt the soles of his feet go weak, and the cold wind poured into his stomach along with his breath, and he could almost hear his stomach singing empty city tricks.

There was an unexplained colic, his body swayed, and he couldn't help but cover his stomach, cold sweat broke out in bursts, and finally he gritted his teeth and persisted.

It was very dark now, but no one noticed Sun Xiang's abnormality, so he ran after him for a while, and the pain not only didn't abate at all, but even intensified.

He couldn't help slowing down, even breathing heavily.Ye Xiu next to him seemed to sense something, and involuntarily cast his gaze on Sun Xiang who was some distance away from him. The tall figure was a little unsteady at this moment, shaking slightly with the running pace.

He frowned, leaned forward and whispered: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay..." Sun Xiang gritted his teeth and squeezed out this sentence, and at the same time exerted all his strength to speed up.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Xiu couldn't help the other party acting nonsense, and took a few steps forward to drag him aside.After all, this is not Glory, and he has no way to make decisions, so he can only ask in a blind corner of the front rearview mirror: "To be honest."

"..." Only silence answered him.

Sun Xiang felt a little irritable, and his stomach pain made it even more difficult for his not-so-bright brain to function, so he simply kept silent.

"Stomach pain? What's the matter?" Ye Xiu slowed down, and the two soon fell to the end of the line. Covered by the crowd, he reached out to touch the other's abdomen: "Does it hurt badly?"

After taking two deep breaths, Sun Xiang still didn't open his mouth, but his breathing became more rapid.

"I told the instructor to let you get in the car and rest." Ye Xiu frowned, the light was too dim, he couldn't see the other person's expression, and he was unavoidably worried.

"……don't want."

Hearing this, Sun Xiang quickly made a move, tightly gripping the opponent's wrist, and squeezed out a little sound through his teeth.

The sudden panic made him forget the pain, and instinctively stopped the other party's behavior.

Sun Xiang came late, and his base score was not high. If points were deducted this time, the chances of him packing up and going home would increase accordingly.

But he doesn't want to leave, his dream, his goal...all the people he likes are here.

How could he leave willingly?

Sun Xiang straightened his back to make his condition not look so bad, even though he knew that the other party should not be able to see him, he still did so.He let go of Ye Xiu, quickened his pace and rushed to the front of the opponent, telling him his determination from behind.This kind of childish and stubborn behavior was also in line with Sun Xiang's temper. The latter was stunned for a few seconds and smiled helplessly, and suddenly realized that the child had escaped the scope of his restraint at some point.

Here, he is no longer the instructor of Glory who can decide the future of the other party. He also lives under the pressure of staying behind like everyone else, and lives every day carefully. He has no way to take the other party under his wings anymore, because Sun Xiang no longer needed it, and he couldn't do it himself.

Now Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang are no longer subordinates, but comrades-in-arms going forward side by side, and what Ye Xiu needs to do is not to advocate letting the other party rest, but... to encourage him to complete this journey.

The body is of course the most important thing, but who hasn't gotten sick in the military camp these years?How many people are sick to complete the task?They are special forces, as long as there is still one finger that can move, they must obey and complete their own tasks!

Be

This is a responsibility and an obligation.

All of a sudden, Ye Xiu realized that the self who was beginning to soften his heart was really... the more he lived, the more he went back.

The moment Sun Xiang chose to persevere, he was ready to bear the consequences. This was his own choice, and even Ye Xiu, who was once an instructor, had no right to interfere.

Looking at Sun Xiang's somewhat blurred back in the darkness, Ye Xiu smiled silently.This arrogant and conceited boy has also learned to hold up his own sky by himself through repeated trials.

Taking two quick steps forward, he patted the other person's shoulder, and whispered in a smiling tone: "Would you like to compare who is faster?"

Ye Xiu didn't say that persistence means victory or cheering, but chose the most straightforward - provocation.

It has to be said that even though he didn't deliberately do this, he still achieved the expected effect.

Sun Xiang started exerting his strength without saying a word.

The abdominal pain did affect his performance, but it didn't kill his will.Facing the cold wind, the two ran wildly in the dark, the uneven yellow land under their feet, and the thick military boots made a dull sound when they stepped on it, leaving their footprints.

The pain was like a fire, which made Sun Xiang feel uncomfortable all over, but now he felt that there was also such a fire in his heart, such a prairie fire that was enough to boil blood and paralyze the nerves, pushing Sun Xiang to go on this long journey. gallop on the road.

There is a dream ahead, and the person you like is beside you.

It doesn't get any better than this.

he thinks.

The final distance was successfully completed under the acceleration of Sun Xiang and Ye Xiu. The two were panting and supporting their limp knees. Sweat splashed down their cheeks on the ground, and some even flowed into their eyes.Feeling sour, Sun Xiang raised his head, just at the time of sunrise, the sky was dimly white, and the dim light shone down, allowing him to barely see the expressions of the people around him.

Ye Xiu also seemed a little tired, and was wiping the sweat off his face. There was some dust on his face, and the sweat stains were imprinted on his skin one by one, forming irregular patches of color.

This kind of Ye Xiu was never seen in Glory.

Sun Xiang licked his dry and cracked lips, and suddenly felt that his stomach didn't hurt so much.

An emotion called satisfaction was planted in my heart and sprouted quietly.

He looked at Ye Xiu almost greedily. This Ye Xiu, who no longer had to share with others, was no longer a high-ranking instructor, but a comrade-in-arms who only belonged to Sun Xiang at present.

Ye Xiu turned his head, just in time to meet the hot eyes of the other party.

In the hazy morning light, he could clearly see the strong emotion in Sun Xiang's eyes. He froze for a second, and suddenly his heart was touched.

Soon, Ye Xiu turned his face away, suppressed the sudden violent heartbeat in his chest, and wiped his sweat under cover.

The rest time passed quickly, and they had to run back to the camp for breakfast again.

Everyone was hungry at the moment, and when they heard the food, they cheered up, their eyes lit up, and they wanted to fly back immediately.

After persisting all the way, Sun Xiang finally drank the hot porridge. Although there were not a few grains of rice in it, most of it was bland soup, it still relieved his stomach pain. big bowl.

After he was done, he belched contentedly, and cleaned up the dishes with Ye Xiu, and it happened to be their turn to be on duty today.

It was another morning of training. At noon, the instructor led them to the cafeteria. What was rare was that there were steaming meat and vegetables on the table, as well as fragrant white rice.Everyone came down at that time, and many people had already started to swallow hard.

You have to know that recently, it is basically the kind of food that has not been eaten for the last meal. The most ruthless time, I ate two meals in three days and it was still porridge. At that time, basically everyone lost a lot of weight, even Ye Xiu originally Some puffy faces are also pointed, and they look a few years younger.

Looking at the rich food in front of him, the others were excited, but Ye Xiu knew in his heart that this was probably going to be for real.

The instructor said something delicious before the meal, and when they were full, everyone threw themselves on it and wiped it all out. They hadn't touched oil or water for many days, and now everyone ate with oily faces, holding their stomachs and burping.Individuals who eat too much are worrying about how to digest quickly, otherwise they will easily suffer from stomach pain when they wait for a while to exercise.

It was expected that he would not have a meal at night, but for the next three and a half days, he didn't have a meal.Many people were so hungry that they could hardly move, and the instructor didn't train them hard, and let them go back to rest after the hasty end.

Sun Xiang was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to take a shower, so he collapsed on the shop floor and curled up into a ball, gnawing his nails against the wall.When all ten fingers were gnawed bald by him, he got up again to find some water to fill his stomach until he was distended, and then fell into a drowsy sleep.

Of course, before that, he didn't forget to hug Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu was also suffering from hunger, and now he was only thinking about how to save his energy to the greatest extent. He knew that there would be such a test every year, and if he passed it, he would have a greater chance of entering the audition.

But no matter what, it was quite a pain... He sighed, rubbed his empty stomach, and relaxed his body into the arms of the person behind him.

Neither of them took a bath, and their bodies were smelly, and they were almost fermented under the quilt.Even so, he feels at ease, at least at this time, he can still fall asleep with the same hungry comrades in arms, instead of staying alone in the wild, holding a gun that has already been infected with body temperature in his hand, forcing himself to stay awake , facing the next battle that may be triggered at any time.

And, this is just the beginning.

Hunger continued until the evening of the fourth day.

Before that, two more teammates chose to leave, because the instructor told them that as long as they choose to give up, they can immediately have a full meal, and then... go home.

Now that they have persisted here, none of the two people who left chose to give up on their own initiative. They all had low scores and points were deducted due to the impact of hunger. In the end, the scores were deducted and they left the stage regrettably.

Ye Xiu still sits firmly on the throne of scoring first, but he has also reached the peak of being deducted points in the past few days. Sun Xiang's points are not much left, but he performed well before, and he is not the bottom one now.

But no one dared to relax, no matter who they were, they were more tense than ever.

The time under the heavy training load is getting slower and slower, and every second seems to have passed a whole year. Even so, they still gritted their teeth and ushered in the countdown to the qualifiers.

At this time, there were only thirteen people left in the training camp.

Everyone is a little excited, and the two-day training performance is better than ever.They have adapted to this rhythm of life after repeated trials, and Sun Xiang also feels that he has grown a lot, no matter in terms of mentality or strength.

Everyone has benefited more or less. Even Ye Xiu, although it was not the first time after such a round, still felt that he had benefited a lot.

In less than a month, he and Sun Xiang had reached a tacit understanding in a certain sense, and Ye Xiu really did not expect at the beginning that the brash kid who was flamboyant and conceited when they first met would make it to where he is today.

It's not easy, Ye Xiu thought, but he was also a little proud in his heart.

After all, this is a soldier brought out by him alone.

It was finally the last night, and everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep. After a hearty dinner, the instructor gave them a few words of encouragement and let them rest.The remaining dozen or so people gathered together and chatted. When Ye Xiu came back after washing his clothes, he saw Sun Xiang lying on their bed with the quilt in his arms, laughing endlessly.

"What are you laughing at?" Ye Xiu asked, stretching out his hand to tug at the quilt in the opponent's arms.

"I'm happy..." Sun Xiang hugged the quilt and looked at him, his eyes were frighteningly bright, and the ending of the unstoppable rising sound was erratic.

Ye Xiu glanced at him helplessly: "Aren't you stupid..." But the corners of his lips also curled up.

Sun Xiang cheered excitedly a few times, then suddenly fell silent and looked at Ye Xiu with straight eyes, and when he saw goosebumps all over his body, he quickly shot.

Ye Xiu didn't expect him to be like this, he didn't react immediately, he was directly dragged down on Sun Xiang's body, and fell into a warm embrace.

"Hey hey hey..." Sun Xiang put his arms around the neck of the person in his arms and rolled on the ground a few times - after we eliminated so many people, the dormitory became very spacious.

There was a quilt between the two of them, but even so, Ye Xiu could still feel the warmth of the other person... and the beating young heart.

He patted the back of the other party's head dumbfounded: "What are you doing?"

"I'm happy..." Sun Xiang rolled and rolled into an inconspicuous corner.Right now the dormitory was in full swing, and no one noticed the little ambiguity on their side.He simply buried his head into the other person's neck, and vigorously sniffed the scent of soap locust on that person's body, the joy in his heart was about to overflow.

"I'm happy..." He repeated in a low voice, with some choking in his voice unconsciously.

"..." Ye Xiu wanted to push the other person away, but after hearing the coquettish words, he stopped and rubbed the hair on the back of the person's head instead.

This action reminded him of his own dog... When Xiao Dian acted coquettishly, he was also comforted in this way.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and the strength in his hands increased.

"Ye Xiu...I like you..."

The almost whispering words rang in his ears, with a hot and humid breath, so cautious.

Ye Xiu was silent for a few seconds, but he never had the heart to push him away.

The hand stroking the other party slid down and patted Sun Xiang gently on the back.

"come on."

Ye Xiu said, but didn't choose to refuse.

Maybe he's already... unable to refuse.
