Solemnity had the best swimming results in the entire SAS training team, including backstroke, freestyle and breaststroke.

The backstroke fins and freestyle broke the previous SAS reserve training records, and Ahmed once half-seriously and half-jokingly called Zhuang Zheng a "flying fish" and praised his swimming skills.

In China, when Zhuang Yan served in the "Red Arrow" brigade, he also participated in a 10-kilometer armed swim crossing, received training related to sea swimming, and even participated in sea training when he was in the 1st Division.

It was also because of the sea training that Zhuang Zhuang overcame his inner demons and completely released his talent for swimming.

But on R Island, compared to the "feast of death", the previous 10-kilometer swim is simply too comfortable.

First of all, the 10-mile swim is just a straight-line distance.

What is straight-line distance?

It is the distance obtained by measuring it with a ruler on the map and converting it to a scale.

It's not really the distance you swim at.

Because people in the sea will not swim in a straight line forever, if you find that the current is wrong, in order to save your energy, you sometimes have to float along the current for a while, move forward slowly, or avoid the undercurrent and so on, instead of fighting against the current.

Human beings are as small as dust in front of nature, and even special forces who have undergone extremely strict training must still know how to respect nature, otherwise it will be a dead end.

The water was already a little cold at the end of October.

Not as warm as July and August.

Solemn and Kassim leaned side by side, like a couple lying on the bed, and began to flipper together.

Although the waves were not big today, the power of the sea was terrifying for someone who was wearing only a buoyancy vest and had no other equipment to help them.

Fortunately, the fins provide more thrust, at least giving the solemnity a sense of "swimming".

There are 5 coastlines from the SAS training team pier on R Island to the SAT pier, and the whole route is equivalent to swimming back to the mainland from R Island.

At first, the two of them tried to maintain their physical strength and played their flippers at a uniform speed.

It's the same as long-distance running, you can't start with a sprint, otherwise you won't be able to finish the whole race.

There are many rubber boats on the sea, which are driven by instructors and veterans of the SAS underwater defense brigade, following the formation of the entire training team.

The dinghy was filled with water and energy bars.

Instructor Achim and Fakhri's rubber boat was not far from Solemn and Qasim's group.

Seeing the solemnity, Achim leaned over the boat and asked the solemn in a loud voice: "Zhuang! Do you want mineral water!? Don't want energy bars?! ”

Majestically shook his head.

He didn't want to deal with this guy.

For the time being, he doesn't need to replenish energy and fresh water.

But after a long time, it definitely does.

It is estimated that it will take more than five hours to swim to the dock of the SAT brigade, and it is estimated that it will take more than five hours, and it can be controlled within six hours, and the results are already very good.

He didn't like it even more when Achim had nothing to do, because the rubber boat would bring a certain amount of water impact. This may not matter in normal times, but now the slightest additional influencing factor solemnly feels very uncomfortable, after all, the whole swim is too far.

A little bit of physical strength is precious here.

Kasim swam and suddenly asked, "Zhuang, do you remember the dangerous marine biology class we took at the beginning of the school year?" ”

Solemnly tilted his head to look at his partner, and really wanted to kick him to death.

The Marine Hazards course introduces all the dangerous creatures of the Black Sea generation, including sharks, poisonous jellyfish, stinging sea urchins, and ferocious moray eels......

During the training on R Island, many people in the marine course were stung by jellyfish and other creatures floating in the water.

There was once an unlucky guy who stepped directly on the sea urchin, and tears of pain flowed down his eyes.

Solemnity is unwilling to touch those deadly things, being hit by this, that kind of pain can make you want to die.

"Qasim, do you know what people like you are called in our country?" Solemnly asked.

Qasim wiped the seawater from his face and grinned, "Isn't it a handsome guy?" ”

He actually learned the two words "handsome guy" in Chinese, although the tone is not accurate, but it sounds strange and has another flavor.

"No, we call people like you Crow's Beak." Solemnly said, "Does the crow know? It's a symbol of bad luck and evil, so I beg you not to mention those things, in case you really encounter them later, will you still take the exam today? ”

"We're wearing wetsuits!" Kasim laughed: "Zhuang, are the soldiers of your country so timid? ”

It's not too far to swim out of the dock now, and this guy has a lot of energy and can still laugh.

Solemn is too lazy to take care of this guy.

Of course, he didn't know how to write the word "decay" in Chinese culture.

Suddenly, Kassim, who had been smug just now, screamed.

"So?" solemnly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly asked.

Qasim stopped flipping and raised his right leg with a grin—he was wearing a light suit, like five-point pants, which covered his thighs but were still exposed.

"Zhuang! I feel like I've been bitten by something! ”

Solemn was taken aback.

In the Dangerous Marine Life class, sea snakes were also introduced.

While this thing isn't too aggressive, the question is, who knows if it's going to run into a sea snake with a convulsion?

However, only two seconds later, solemnity was relieved again.

Because sea snakes are generally more toxic to snake spirits, the person who is bitten generally does not feel too much pain, but it does not mean that this thing bites you fine.

Sea snakes are more poisonous than terrestrial snakes, and many of them are at the top of the toxin list.

"It shouldn't be a sea snake." Majestically glanced at the hairy right leg that Cassim had raised.

On the calf, there was a red streak, as if it had been burned by something.

"It's a jellyfish." Solemn said: "It hurts, doesn't it?" Retribution is coming, what did I just say? ”

Kasim endured the pain, continued to flip, and asked solemnly: "Zhuang, should I raise my hand to report?" Am I going to die? I remember that the textbook said that it would be fatal. ”

Zheng Zheng said: "That's not necessarily, some jellyfish have very strong toxins and can kill people, and some just hurt for a few days." ”

Qasim was clearly worried.

He seemed hesitant to raise his hand.

If you raise your hand to report, it will affect your speed, and most importantly, you may die.

Solemnly don't make decisions for Qasim, it's a matter of personal choice for him.

In the end, Qasim made up his mind and said, "I'll hold on and see for now, and if I really don't feel well, I'll quit." ”

"Okay." Majestie also understood Kassim's thoughts.

It's all up to this level, I'm about to graduate, Kasim's grades are not bad, it's a pity to give up like this.

Anyway, there are rubber boats around, and many boats have prepared first-aid kits, and if someone has an accident, they will be immediately towed to the boat for first aid, and then quickly sent to the hospital for treatment.

This is all a lesson learned over the years.

Almost every year, SAS reserve players from training camps fall on the "physical fitness festival" project, and some people even lose their lives because of it.

After Qasim was stung by a jellyfish once, the man became honest and quiet, and did not dare to say a word of nonsense.

solemn and happy, the two of them continued to flipper in the direction of the target.

For the first hour, the two of them were able to ensure that their posture did not allow the sea to enter.

Zhuang Zheng only felt a little sleepy in his ankles and calves, but as the distance increased and his body temperature decreased, his swimming style was no longer optimal.

Some small waves rushed in, and the sea water kept pouring into the mouth, and the ligaments of the ankle and calf also began to ache and tear.

Two hours later, Majestie and Qasim had swam across the coastline of the two islands.

The sun was rising, and it was already past ten o'clock.

The sun was shining on the face, hot and hot, but the body soaked in the sea water was cold to death.

Unlike long-distance running on the road, the longer you spend in the sea, the faster the drop in people's questions.

Kassim completely shut up this time, and silently webbed with a blue face, not daring to say more.

It can be seen that he is also going through a difficult physical hurdle.

As with long-distance running, when you reach a certain distance, you will encounter a physical fitness threshold.

After getting through it, people will feel much more comfortable again.

More than two hours later, for the first time, Zhuang raised his right hand and gestured to the nearby rubber boat.
