Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Cheng Cai took a bite of half a steamed bun and chewed it vigorously, panting heavily, but his complexion gradually worsened.

He didn't swallow a single bite of the steamed bun he was chewing; he just stood there, stunned.

Xu Sanduo took out the individual rations he always kept in his backpack and handed them over, "Chengcai."

Cheng Cai took the individual rations handed to him by Xu Sanduo, looked at them deeply, and then threw them hard at Xu Sanduo.

He picked up his helmet, spat out all the steamed bun in his mouth, leaving none. He pointed at Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi and said, "You two remember, I'm on the same team as you."

I've been hungry too; I even ate rat meat this morning.

Cheng Cai held up a steamed bun and placed it in front of the two of them. "This isn't just a steamed bun. For the three of us, this is an opportunity, understand? If we eat this steamed bun, we might get into the top three, and we might get into Old A."

Do you guys understand? This is an opportunity.

Wu Liuyi, who had been resting with his eyes closed, glared at Cheng Cai with a serious expression. "Cheng Cai, let me tell you, that's called cheating, not seizing an opportunity."

Wu Liuyi was willing to rest at the Fifth Squad's camp on the grassland. Along the way, there were some dilapidated houses where they could rest, so it wasn't unreasonable.

But if Wu Liuyi ate that steamed bun, he would never be able to eat another steamed bun in his life; that would be a breach of his bottom line.

Xu Sanduo picked up his individual rations again and handed them over, "Here, Chengcai, eat this."

Cheng Cai took the individual rations, sat back down in a daze, looked at the rations in his hand, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and shook the rations in his hand. Cheng Cai's voice became calmer.

"Xu Sanduo, if I eat this steamed bun, my stomach and intestines will just rot, but if I eat this thing of yours, my whole body will rot."

After saying that, he threw the individual rations back to Xu Sanduo.

None of the three spoke again. Cheng Cai silently put the steamed bun back into the bowl and returned it to its original place.

"Pah!" Gao Cheng spat out a sunflower seed shell, pointed at the screen, and said, "Is this considered cheating?"

Yuan Lang tilted his head with amusement, glanced at Gao Cheng, smiled, and said nothing.

Zhang Anbang chuckled and asked, "Company Commander, has he eaten?"

Gao Cheng pondered for a moment, "Well, in the end, I guess you could say we didn't eat it."

"Then I'll accept it. No matter the reason, if I didn't eat them, it's not considered cheating," Zhang Anbang said, then pulled a handful of peanuts from his pocket and showed them to the two of them. "Want some?"

"Um," Gao Cheng looked Zhang Anbang up and down, "So, what exactly are you here for?"

Although Gao Cheng was asking questions, he was quick to take action.

Looking at the garlic peanuts that had been mostly taken from his hand, Zhang Anbang smiled and said, "Oh, my company commander, didn't I tell you long ago that I'm just here to have fun?"

"Alright, alright," Gao Cheng didn't delve into it further. Looking at the three people on the screen who had already fallen asleep, he suddenly said, "Sigh, those poor guys in Class 5, they'll have to eat steamed buns with a sweaty smell tomorrow."

Hahaha, the three of them burst into laughter at the same time. It just didn't taste right. The two steamed buns that Cheng Cai had stuffed into their arms must have had a sour and rotten smell. They just didn't know who would win the prize tomorrow.

Just thinking about the smell of those steamed buns makes me realize how strong they must have been. After a whole day and night, I don't know how many times I rolled around in the mud and dirt, and my clothes were soaked with sweat countless times.

After stuffing two big white steamed buns in for a few minutes, even if they were taken out, they would probably be soaked in flavor. Whoever eats them will surely be unlucky.

As the three people on the screen fell asleep, Zhang Anbang, seeing that the fun was over, began to switch screens. The camera of Class 5 on the grassland was the one closest to the finish line.

In other words, the three members of the Seventh Steel Company are currently in the lead, while the rest are at a point two kilometers away from the Fifth Grassland Platoon.

It was a dilapidated house, where a sergeant was resting. Zhang Anbang looked closely and recognized him as Huang Yaohui from the 353rd Regiment.

At this moment, he was resting in a corner of the dilapidated house with a first-term sergeant, while the rest were in the right direction, the closest being fifteen kilometers away.

Theoretically speaking, the probability of them arriving at their destination on time is very low, as they are too far away.

Of course, there could be other people involved, since Zhang Anbang didn't install cameras everywhere; he only installed them at some key locations.

Of course, these key locations alone are sufficient.

After flipping through the pages for a while, seeing that there was nothing interesting to read, Zhang Anbang closed his military notebook and prepared to rest.

After all, it was already 10 p.m., and the selection process would end in 6 a.m., which was the last day of the day. There were still 8 hours left before the selection was over.

This also means that Zhang Anbang's leisure trip is coming to an end, so he must seize the time to rest.

……

Time passed little by little. For all the participants in the selection, it felt like they hadn't had much rest, and it was already one o'clock in the morning.

In the kitchen of the Fifth Squad on the grassland, Wu Liuyi and his two companions had already woken up.

The three of them stretched their bodies a little, and then a series of crackling sounds came from behind them.

Wu Liu glanced at his watch and said, "We should go. We can't stay any longer. If we rest any longer, we'll be short on time."

Cheng Cai nodded. "That's right. Let's hurry up and go. In five more hours, we can become Old A, haha."

Xu Sanduo said, "Based on the distance we've traveled before, if the route is correct, there are still less than eight kilometers to go."

But even now, we still haven't found the position, and we haven't drawn a defense map.

Wu Liuyi tugged at his sleeve, which had been re-taped with tape. "According to what that lieutenant colonel Yuan Lang from the Old A said, that position isn't far from the finish line. It should be on this last stretch of road. Let's see how it goes."

The three encouraged each other and, under the moonlight, set off again on their unfinished journey.

……

Two more hours passed, and the three of them staggered, exhausted.

Finally, Cheng Cai, who was walking at the front, couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

The thirty kilograms of weight that wouldn't have been a big burden for them in the past now felt like a mountain pressing down on them.

Cheng Cai gasped for breath and struggled to climb up the mud brick in front of him. Soon, he rolled down.

The two people following behind were shocked and immediately lay down on the ground, cautiously on guard. Wu Liuyi asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Xu Sanduo also shouted, "Chengcai!"

Cheng Cai suppressed a laugh and beckoned to the two of them, signaling them to come closer.

Seeing this, Wu Liuyi and Xu Sanduo used all their strength to quickly crawl forward.
