When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 181 Cutting the Umbrella! Hanging Oneself from a Southeast Branch.

The last group to parachute were from the Third Battalion; Xu Ge didn't recognize a single person in the cabin.

Guo Yuanshuai deliberately didn't come up with Xu Ge, so that he could complete the parachute jump alone without any psychological dependence.

The plane took off quickly and headed straight for the designated area.

Xu Ge had already gone through the pre-jump procedures twice, and he knew it was about to begin as soon as he felt the plane start to tilt.

call!
After taking a few deep breaths and recalling Guo Yuanshuai and Lin Wan's words, my heart gradually calmed down.

I was still a little nervous, but it was much better than the first time.

Since Xu Ge was the last one to come up, and his position was right at the cabin door, he would be the first one to go down later.

drop!drop!
The indicator light came on, and the safety officer began checking each parachute one by one.

"it is good!"

Xu Ge stood up and reached out to tug at the straps on his main parachute pack; they were indeed very sturdy.

Lin Wan is right, there's nothing to worry about when skydiving.

"get ready!"

The hatch slowly opened, and Xu Ge stood at the edge looking out at the clear sky and the quiet earth.

A strange sense of unease began to creep up on him again, but this time Xu Ge wasn't going to give himself the chance to be a coward.

He turned to look at the safety officer, who nodded: "Jump when you're ready!"

Xu Ge, clutching his spare parachute, bent his knees and fell straight out.

00001, 00002, 00003...

Bang!
As the main parachute opened, Xu Ge's descent suddenly slowed, the stark contrast making him feel as if his heart was about to leap out of his throat.

Oh oh oh!
A strong wind was blowing in my ears.

"Ah!!! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I did it!"

Xu Ge shouted excitedly, knowing that no one in the sky could hear him anyway.

Quickly adjusting his posture according to the training content, Xu Ge controlled his body balance and began to look down for a landing spot.

The ground commander's voice came through the headset: "First one, maintain your direction and continue eastward. The rest of you, follow the lead!"

Following the instructions, Xu Ge quickly spotted the white landing markers on the ground to the east.

"The wind is picking up! Everyone, keep your distance and maintain a steady pace!"

"What the hell are you doing, second place?"

The ground commander's voice suddenly rose: "Brake the brakes right now!"

"Attention, first place! Speed ​​up immediately and avoid those behind you..."

Before Xu Ge could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his body shake violently, and the next moment, he began to spin in the air.

"Fuck!"

"what's the situation?"

Xu Ge was stunned. He felt like he was spinning around and around, unable to tell up from down or left from right. He only knew that he was falling faster and faster!

In a flash, he remembered what Xu Can had said during training.

The problem is, the paracord is tangled!

Boom!
Soon, Xu Ge felt himself being bumped.

"First place, cut your parachute immediately! Cut your parachute immediately!" The ground commander's voice became urgent.

As the other person spoke, Xu Ge's right hand had already reached for the main parachute's handle. He pulled hard, and his whole body suddenly sank down.

The free fall has begun again.

Xu Ge felt his whole body tense up at this moment, focusing his attention to the extreme, his left hand gripping the buckle of the reserve parachute pack tightly, ready to pull it open in the next second.

Snapped! Bang!
The immense force pulled Xu Ge backward, sending him sprawling into the air.

ADD was triggered, and the backup umbrella exploded!
"The first-place player immediately adjusts their posture and takes control of the parachute!"

Pull the brakes all the way!

Xu Ge subconsciously followed the instructions and tightened his grip on the handles. He felt himself being blown down rapidly by a strong wind.

I subconsciously looked down and saw a lush, green landscape beneath my feet.

"Damn it! Where the hell did I get this?"

"Holy shit, shit, shit!"

Wow!
Crackling!

The next moment, Xu Ge felt a sudden tightness throughout his body, and his downward momentum completely stopped.

But, there was nothing on either foot.

He was hung from the tree.

. . .

. . .

This is a wild forest located on a hilltop. Judging from the distant roar of airplanes, it is about five or six kilometers away from the airport.

The hilltop is covered with forests, and large tea plantations stretch from the middle of the mountain all the way down to the foot of the mountain.

Several tea farmers were picking tea leaves with baskets on their backs. Two older women ran up to the top of the hill, laughing and joking, and looked up at Xu Ge.

"Hey, is this the second or the third this year?"

"The third one, the first two jumped into the vegetable garden and onto the roof of my outhouse. The army even had to pay compensation for them."

"Last year, when we were having hot pot in the courtyard, someone almost jumped into the pot. If I had known, I would have asked the military for compensation back then."

Xu Ge: ...

Seeing the two people below chatting as if no one else was around, Xu Ge said awkwardly, "Hey, could you pick up that walkie-talkie down there and throw it to me?"

One of them bent down and picked up the walkie-talkie: "This one?"

"Yes! Thank you... I'll go!"

The walkie-talkie landed directly on the canopy overhead.

"Sorry, I missed!"

The woman apologized, then looked up and asked, "Why aren't you coming down?"

Xu Ge fastened the buttons on his chest and said helplessly, "It's stuck."

The other person took out his phone: "Do you remember your unit's phone number? I'll call it for you..."

"Xu Ge! Xu Ge!"

From the other side of the woods, the faint shouts of Li Dongshui and Guo Yuanshuai could be heard.

Xu Ge perked up and immediately shouted back, "Here! Deputy Squad Leader, I'm here!"

The two older women also shouted, "He's hanging in the tree! Come quick!"

Xu Ge was speechless and quickly waved down, "Fellow villager, stop shouting!"

"Where is it? Holy crap, there's an echo in these mountains..."

"Woof woof!"

"White Tiger! I'm here, quickly bring them over!"

Swish!
A moment later, a large white dog covered in leaves emerged from the woods, rushed to Xu Ge's feet, and began circling and barking.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Wang Wang!"

"Damn it! What kind of path did the White Tiger lead us down? This is no path for a human to walk on!"

Kaiyoumu was the first to emerge, grumbling. He looked up and saw Xu Ge hanging in the tree. His eyes widened. "Why don't you come down? Are you addicted to hanging here?"

Xu Ge: "My damn lock is stuck!"

Damn, it makes it sound like I like hanging myself from a tree in the southeast!

Swish!
Immediately afterwards, a group of people emerged from the woods.

Guo Yuanshuai, Li Dongshui, Du Hu, Wang Lin, Su Liujun, Luo Shan, Liu Guoping, Xu Can, Lao Wang... A group of people gathered under the tree, looking up for a long time before Guo Yuanshuai finally spoke.

"Form a human ladder and pull him down!"

Liu Guoping: "Wouldn't tearing it down also break the umbrella?"

"What the hell are we doing caring about a broken umbrella at a time like this?"

Guo Yuanshuai said irritably, "If the umbrella is broken, deduct it from the Third Battalion Commander's salary! Damn it, his soldiers almost killed my men!"

No one said anything more and agreed with Guo Yuanshuai's plan.

Old Wang asked, "Then who will take the ride?"

"It's you!"

Su Liujun immediately pulled Lao Wang under the tree, saying, "You have a solid foundation."

Old Wang didn't seem to care. He spread his legs into a lunge position, placed his hands on his thighs, and said, "I'll count to three and you lift up. Let's both pull together... Holy crap!"

Su Liujun ignored him completely, first stomping on his thigh, then kicking Old Wang's shoulder with his second foot and leaping up to grab Xu Ge.

Wow!
The parachute slid down a short distance on the tree branch and then got stuck again.

Xu Ge looked utterly dejected: "I need to pee..."

"Not enough weight, send another one up!" Guo Yuanshuai said.

Kaiyoumu rolled up his sleeves: "I'll do it!"

Old Wang glared at Kaiyoumu: "If you dare step on my shoulder again, I'll kill you!"

"Go away!"

rub!
Kaiyoumu was thrown up by Lao Wang, who then grabbed Xu Ge's other side.

Click, click, click!

Hiss! Hiss!

The tree branch broke, the parachute shattered, and the three of them fell together.

"Are you okay?"

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

A group of people immediately surrounded them.

Xu Ge smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that my clothes got torn."

The token appears on its own.

[100% obedience to military orders, parachute proficiency +300]

Parachute: LV4 (345/9999).

"Come on, everyone, make way!"

Xu Can pulled out an umbrella knife and quickly cut the straps on Xu Ge's suspenders. He then asked with a smile, "How does it feel to open the backup umbrella?"

Xu Ge's lips twitched: "That was so exciting!"

"But you succeeded! Congratulations!"

"Yeah, Xu Ge, you're way more awesome than us. You switched your parachute and landed with your backup parachute right in the middle of the air!"

"I've jumped dozens of times and never had this chance!"

The group of people laughed and said.

Guo Yuanshuai waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go back first! The convoy is still waiting!"

. . .

. . .

Back at the temporary camp, a large group of cadres and airport leaders all came over.

"Good lad, I was really sweating bullets back then!"

Regiment Commander Fu Qiang gave Xu Ge a firm squeeze on the shoulder with a sigh of relief, "Luckily you reacted quickly! I'll get you a commendation when we get back!"

"Thank you, Commander!" Xu Ge was overjoyed and quickly saluted.

One reward is an opportunity to take on an E-level challenge!

Fu Qiang couldn't help but sigh. If something had happened to Xu Ge just now, his time as regimental commander would have been over.

"Third Battalion Commander!"

"To!"

"Get over here and apologize to them!"

"Yes!"

The battalion commander ran over and snapped to attention with a salute: "Comrade Xu Ge, I'm sorry!"

Xu Ge quickly returned the salute: "No need, no need, Third Battalion Commander. Accidents are inevitable during training. I remember it was just a sudden gust of wind... By the way, is the second-place comrade alright?"

"What could possibly happen to that guy carrying two umbrellas?"

The battalion commander said irritably, then patted Xu Ge on the shoulder, "It's all his fault for not being skilled enough. He panicked as soon as something went wrong. Luckily, we had you, Xu Ge. You truly deserve the title of Warrior among the recruits. Your parachute cut was really beautiful!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Hua, Liu Guoping, and the others standing to the side laughed with great pride.

Fu Qiang asked Xu Ge a few more questions, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, get ready to go back to Queshan camp."

Afterwards, airport leaders came up to Xu Ge to express their sincere condolences and brought him several bags of fruit and tea, as well as... 10,000 yuan in cash!
After the airport leaders left, Xu Ge looked at Guo Yuanshuai with the cash in his hand and asked, "Deputy squad leader, what should we do with this money?"

Guo Yuanshuai opened a jar of Xinyang Maojian tea and was smelling it when he said without turning his head, "That's money for you. Why are you asking me? Do whatever you want with it."

Xu Ge thought for a moment and said, "Then let's split it together and use it as our training expenses, hehe!"

"Father Xu is so generous!"

The veterans swarmed around, each receiving a thousand from Xu Ge.

Old Wang came over rubbing his hands together with a smile: "Xu Ge, look at how I did the skydiving for you..."

Xu Ge handed over a bag of bananas, saying, "Thank you then."

"No, they all get money to go around, and you're just giving me a bag of bananas? You could have given me a box of tea!"

"The tea leaves belong to our deputy class monitor! We're lucky to get bananas; you even cheated me out of thirty yuan last time!"

"Dry!"

Xu Ge then approached Xu Can and handed him a bag of fruit and a thousand yuan: "Take this, everyone gets a share!"

Xu Can took the fruit, smiled and shook his head: "I don't want the money, you can keep it for yourself."

"You've been the biggest help to me this time, I don't even know how to thank you enough, and you think it's not enough?"

Without saying a word, Xu Ge stuffed the money into Xu Can's hand.

"Okay, thanks then!"

Xu Can was a straightforward person, and seeing that Xu Ge insisted, he stopped refusing and accepted it generously.

"We're heading back to Queshan. What about you? Are you still in Minggang?" Xu Ge asked curiously.

Xu Can whispered, "We'll go to Queshan after Brother Lei and the others return from the South China Sea. The exercise is about to start, isn't it?"

Xu Ge suddenly realized, and then asked, "What are Thor and the others doing in the South China Sea?"

Xu Can smiled and shook his head.

Xu Ge understood, stopped asking questions, and turned to go back to his room to pack his bag.

"Xu Ge! Do you have Ao Xiang's contact information?"

Suddenly, Luo Shan came in from outside, his face extremely pale.

"Yeah, platoon leader, what's wrong?"

"Have Ao Xiang bring those two cars over to pick us up."

Guo Yuanshuai was taken aback: "What happened?"

Luo Shan: "Damn it, the Blue Army set up roadblocks and recorded everyone's faces!"
