Chapter 502 Reaching the End
"Captain, it's me!"

Zhuang Yan stood at a distance, limping, and shouted excitedly, waving his hand as he shouted.

He Zhijun was also secretly observing Feng Yuxiu from a distance.

In fact, they had already discovered Feng Yuxiu the moment he appeared here.

The volunteer soldiers around him were elite guards, capable of taking on more than ten people with their bare hands without any problem.

Being a leader's bodyguard requires basic skills such as reading between the lines and being adept at handling social situations.

Feng Yuxiu glanced at it and continued bending down to pick up pine nuts and pine needles.

"This kid...he has absolutely no manners."

The guard frowned, looking displeased.

Although He Zhijun was wearing ordinary camouflage, he was here, and at his age, so at least he should call out to the old squad leader.

Veteran military industry personnel of this caliber are either top leaders or extremely rare professionals.

"Captain, I thought you had gone far away long ago. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Zhuang Yan happily stepped forward to greet him, but was stopped in his tracks by a single look from Feng Yuxiu.

"Get lost. You think you can reach the finish line with 100% certainty? You have quite the leisure."

Zhuang Yan's beaming smile vanished instantly, replaced by a somber expression. "Captain, I will definitely catch up with you. But..."

He seemed to be looking at the east that Feng Yuxiu was working on. The thick smoke inside remained in the cracks of the rocks, and the smoke that escaped was completely absorbed by the pine forest behind him.

The remaining smoke was enveloped by the lake's mist and sank to the ground.

A faint wisp of smoke could be seen within a few hundred meters, but beyond that, the vertically rising smoke was completely invisible.

Feng Yuxiu didn't say much, staring coldly at Zhuang Yan, "What are the rules?"

"No two people are allowed together. Help each other." Zhuang Yan immediately stood up straight. "Captain, I understand. I'll be leaving now."

"Wait a minute." Feng Yuxiu narrowed his eyes. "Where are your provisions?"

Zhuang Yan scratched his head sheepishly, "I was too hungry at noon and ate."

In that instant, Feng Yuxiu saw the former Gan Xiaoning in Zhuang Yan.

When Gan Xiaoning participated in the Old A assessment, he also ate all the reserve food right from the start.

This guy may be a bit of a romantic, but he's the kind of guy who would actually take a bullet for you if something happened.

Among all the people Feng Yuxiu had met, it was truly remarkable that a 17-year-old boy could have such an initial awareness.

"Take it, then get out of here."

Feng Yuxiu tossed his compressed rations out, and Zhuang Yan instinctively caught them. Looking down, he immediately panicked, "This...this...Captain, I can't take it! What will you do if I eat it? We still have two days and two nights left. We haven't even seen a single wild rabbit in this godforsaken place."

Feng Yuxiu said coldly, "Get out."

Zhuang Yan took a deep breath. He knew Feng Yuxiu's temper; he was absolutely a man of his word.

Suppressing his emotions, he nodded, tears welling in his eyes. "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely reach the finish line. I always keep my promises. The first was Miao Lian, and you are the second."

After saying that, he walked back in the direction he came from, looking back every few steps.

To allow him to continue, the captain gave him the last of his food supplies.

Next, the team leader will definitely be looking for food everywhere to conserve his energy, which is a huge waste of time for the assessment and selection process. If he can't find any, the energy he has consumed during this time will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

They were completely out of the running for this final assessment.

"Captain, I will definitely reach the finish line!!!"

Zhuang Yan shouted and ran away.

He Zhijun looked at Feng Yuxiu with admiration and praised, "In such a desperate situation, to be able to sacrifice one's own food reserves for one's comrades, what a remarkable thing that is..."

The next second, not only He Zhijun, but even the high school captain in the surveillance footage was stunned.

Feng Yuxiu didn't hear a word He Zhijun said. He took out seasonings from his backpack, kicked away a stone, and picked up the pine needles to reveal the juicy wolf meat underneath.

The heat from the stones, combined with the smoke from the pine needles, gave the wolf meat a soy sauce-like color.

Feng Yuxiu sprinkled all the seasonings on the wolf meat and spread them evenly, as the fat particles on the wolf meat bounced violently.

The rich aroma of meat immediately made He Zhijun's eyes widen. This was pure wild game, and it had just died not long ago.

Add to that the environment and surrounding scenery, and it's absolutely mouthwatering.

He Zhijun swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the meat that was emitting a wonderful aroma.

"This kid... how does he know everything? Do other military regions teach this? How do they cook?"

The high school team felt weak all over.

He really did come for a picnic, full of enthusiasm and planning to teach these newbies, especially this kid, a lesson they wouldn't forget.

In retrospect, all of this seemed incredibly naive to him.

"But...do you really think that's all I've got? Kid...everyone's afraid of death. No matter how many life-or-death crises they've faced, they'll still tremble in the face of death."

-

"Go and keep an eye on that kid, make sure nothing happens to him."

He Zhijun turned to look at the guard.

The guard stood motionless. "Auntie repeatedly told me to keep a close eye on you. It's okay if that kid dies, but you can't afford any mistakes."

"Get out of here! What could I possibly be doing here? Go check on that kid, he twisted his ankle. This is an uphill path with cliffs on both sides. Don't let him slip and fall to his death. Now, that's an order!"

"Yes!"

The guard stood at attention, then stared coldly at Feng Yuxiu. "Kid, don't be stupid, or I'll teach you a lesson about why the sky is blue."

Feng Yuxiu was grilling meat when he slowly raised his head and glanced at the meat, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He then lowered his head and continued grilling the meat.

"Did you hear me?!" the guard roared.

The next second, Feng Yuxiu suddenly darted forward, stepping on the ground and rushing out.

The five-meter distance exploded in an instant, and the guard's pupils contracted as his right hand instinctively reached for the pistol at his waist.

boom!
Without any politeness, Feng Yuxiu suddenly tilted his knee and stabbed it into his chest.

In an instant, the guard clutched his chest and vomited uncontrollably, taking a few steps back and lying on the ground, dry heaving.

His right hand was dislocated instantly, and the pistol fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Oh no, something bad is going to happen!" Captain Gao jumped up in alarm on the surveillance video.

The high school team stared blankly at Feng Yuxiu, who suddenly erupted, his extreme speed and decisive attack completely overturning their understanding.

All of this is truly delightful to watch; the perfect attack is like a gentle, flowing stream.

The presence of the stench of bloodshed during a fight makes the battle even more impactful.

"Who gave you permission to talk to me like that? I'm already being incredibly lenient by putting up with this once."

"roll!"

The guard struggled to his feet, glaring at Feng Yuxiu with eyes full of fury.

Since becoming the captain's bodyguard, when have I ever suffered such injustice?

He had no intention of backing down, but the next second he met Feng Yuxiu's eyes.

The faint bloodshot streaks mixed with the whites of his eyes resembled a fierce wind in the dead of winter, poised to destroy everything in an instant.

"Go keep an eye on that kid!!"

He Zhijun immediately roared, breaking the stalemate.

The guard then suppressed his resentment, bent down, picked up his pistol with his left hand, tucked it into his waistband, and turned to chase after him.

He Zhijun squinted and stared at Feng Yuxiu with a smile, "Speed ​​so fast, I didn't even have time to react. Where did you train?"

Feng Yuxiu glanced again as he began cutting the wolf meat, then wrapped it up with leaves.

"Hey... Oh, I just happened to bring a bottle of wine... Look, it's still early, so we should eat the roast meat while it's still fresh and cooked through... Wild game with good wine... Just thinking about it makes my mouth water... To be honest... my husband doesn't let me eat anything greasy or oily..."

He Zhijun looked distressed. "Tell me, I just love this kind of thing... It's so boring for a man not to drink or eat meat, and I'm not into health... I haven't reached that point yet."

Feng Yuxiu continued to prepare the wolf meat, which He Zhijun watched longingly.

He was really craving it. He usually eats vegetarian food, and his mouth was practically full of food.

After Feng Yuxiu put it away, he turned and left.

He Zhijun shook his head, looking disappointed, but the next moment his eyes widened.

At the spot where the pit was dug, there was a wolf's leg placed on a rock, with grease particles still popping on it.

"I like this kid!"

He Zhijun rushed forward and, ignoring the scalding heat, grabbed a wolf leg, blew on it, and started eating.

"Hmm, really good... This kid must have been in the mess hall before, his skills are impeccable, and his control of the heat is perfect."

In the surveillance video, the members of the Lone Wolf team stared in disbelief at this somewhat comical scene.

This is fucking picnic... and they've brought the brigade leader along...

-

After finishing his meal, He Zhijun continued fishing with his rod, but his mind was not on the fish tank.

Ma Da stared at the monitor screen. "Isn't the captain waiting for him?"

The team leader must know about today's assessment; he couldn't possibly break the rules and show up here so brazenly.

There's only one reason: the captain deliberately appeared here, waiting for someone.

At first, everyone thought this was specifically to wait for Zhuang Yan, since it was Zhuang Yan's route.

But Feng Yuxiu's appearance changed their minds.

After Feng Yuxiu leaves, the brigade leader should leave.

But he didn't leave; instead, he stayed where he was.

There's only one possible outcome: the person the captain is waiting for hasn't arrived yet.

Among these rookies, who could possibly have a senior colonel like him waiting here?
Time passed slowly, and all the newbies followed the established path.

Except for... a newbie who went astray.

The high school team leader suddenly stood up, pointed at the video, and shouted, "Zoom in!!"

The technicians quickly zoomed in, and after clearly seeing the person's face, Captain Gao's expression became complicated.

Mada's expression was somewhat somber. "It's expected, I guessed it all. It's only right."

"I know."

"The captain also wants to see this child. Not only him, but all of us have a special feeling for this child."

"I know."

"What if the captain gets emotional and drags the child straight to the finish line? He could totally do that."

The high school team fell completely silent this time.

The entire Lone Wolf team owes this kid a debt.

As the image gradually became clearer, the two images of He Zhijun and that figure began to merge into one.

Geng Jihui shrugged and continued walking forward.

Then he saw He Zhijun, and He Zhijun saw him too.

This time, He Zhijun stood up and looked at Geng Jihui with a serious expression, his eyes even showing a strange emotion.

Why are you looking at me?

Geng Jihui shrugged, turned around, and continued walking, keeping a safe distance from He Zhijun's route.

He Zhijun's gaze remained quietly fixed on Geng Jihui's retreating figure.

Not long after the person had completely disappeared, He Zhijun packed up his fishing gear, slung his bag over his shoulder, and turned to leave the area.

There are no fish in this lake.

-

-

Two days passed quickly.

Some people gave up halfway and lay down on the ground.

Some people gritted their teeth and eventually fainted on the ground.

But most of them, pale-faced, kept moving forward.

Their gaze lost its course, its focus shifted to the scenery on either side, to the single object at the very center of their pupils.

Upon reaching the destination, they remained with the Lone Wolf Squad and became special forces soldiers.

In the evening, under the national flag of the training camp, the high school team leader had a long face and stared straight ahead.

Right now, the rookie A team members are moving back in twos and threes.

Feng Yuxiu was the first to return, sitting at the finish line and gazing at the distant sandstorm.

The second was Chen Guotao, who was the only one who reached the finish line with enough food left over.

I don't know where he found food and drink for the past three days.

However, his eyes told everyone that even if the Lone Wolf Squad only had one person, that person would either be him or his corpse.

His life's mission was to become a special forces soldier in the Lone Wolf Squad.

Therefore, I would rather die than retreat even a step.

-

Geng Jihui had already returned, clutching two bottles of mineral water, and was chasing after the team members who were walking back.

They either handed the water over or poured it directly on the person, shouting, "Almost there, almost there, don't let up!"

The veteran player collapsed to the ground as soon as he crossed the finish line.

The medics immediately rushed over and began to provide first aid.

Shi Dafan staggered over, looking like he was in so much pain he could barely bear it, yet he still grinned foolishly, humming a song: "I have horns on my head, I have a tail behind me... Nobody knows... I have so many little secrets... I have so many little secrets, but I won't tell you... I won't tell you..."

Before he could finish singing, he crashed headfirst onto the finish line.

The medic quickly helped him up, splashed water on his head, and took his blood pressure with a monitor.

Shi Dafan, still smiling with narrowed eyes, forced himself to finish the last line: "I won't tell you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everything went black, and he fainted.

Qiangzi carried a backpack in his left hand and a gun on his right shoulder, moving forward with small, quick steps.

He grimaced in pain, cursing as he walked: "What do you mean by stupid? I am! I gave up being a good class monitor to come here and suffer! What do you mean by cheap? I am! I didn't want a comfortable life, so I had to come here to suffer! What do you call this in Beijing? Playing the fool."

With a shout, he fell straight across the finish line and passed out.

It was completely dark, and some team members were still slowly walking back.

The high school team leader glanced at his watch and said, "There's one hour left."

The team members who had returned had rested and were now rested. Some were wearing vests, and some were shirtless. They were all watching from the finish line.

Besides those who were eliminated, Feng Yuxiu's group still has one person left.

Zhuang Yan.

"What on earth is this kid doing? How could he be so late?" Shi Dafan was getting anxious.

"Could he have gotten lost? He's only been in the army for a short time and lacks experience in field operations... Anything is possible," Deng Zhenhua analyzed.

"No, I believe he can reach it. He's never one to give up."

Having come from the same company, Lao Pao had genuine affirmation and trust in Zhuang Yan.

Aside from being stubborn, this child can always fulfill any promise he makes.

Chen Guotao stood at the finish line with a worried expression, gazing at the distant dust and the route bent by the air.

"Xiao Zhuang...you must hold on...this is the last step..."
