Tianya Reef, this is the reef guarded by Ge Zhen alone, as for whether it is the name or not, there is really no way to verify, anyway, everyone calls it that.

In the middle is the house, in front is the national flag, behind is the lighthouse, on the right is the kennel, and on the left is the dog grave.

When he went to the reef, Lao Yang gave him a dog to accompany him, and after three months, the dog died.

Why die? I'm going crazy.

In the first month, the dog was still very keen, running back and forth with Ge Zhen every day; In the second month, the dog lay on the ground every day and stared at the endless sea, and did not bark anymore; In the third month, the dog went crazy and chased Ge Zhen all over the reef.

You bite someone Ge Zhen with a dog, isn't this looking for death? So Ge Zhen killed the dog and buried it on the left side of the house.

This is indeed a place that can make people go crazy, and dogs can't stand it, let alone people. If the first row and second shift can endure loneliness and be ordinary and brilliant, then Tianya Reef can hold on, and the complete sentence is something to be proud of.

You can still see the snowy plateau in the second row of the bad people's house, and you can also climb the mountain to look at the north and south of the Yangtze River, what can you see here?

"Water! That's a lot of water...... It's all water! Ge Zhen sat in front of the house and shouted: "Tender cabbage, tender pear; Tender tofu, tender peach; Tender watermelon, tender grapes, tender mango......"

Like a neuropathy?

Not like, because it was meant to be!

It's been more than three months, and Ge Zhen doesn't know how he survived, anyway, he also feels that he is a little nervous, and he is here to shout at the sea something that is pure and useless.

The water and sky meet in all directions, and the water of the reef and shallows is as clear as jade, and then little by little it passes into the distance: blue, deep blue, black and dull......

"Poof!"

After shouting, Ge Zhen jumped into the sea, swam to the east, braved the wind and waves, swam five or six nautical miles in one go, landed on another smaller reef, and then let the wind go here for a while, and then swam back.

Wait until you have made a cookie-cutter report on the computer, and if you can't sleep, swim back and forth.

Idle is idle, you have to find something to do.

"Leader, I don't care which leader you are, you have to find me something to do." Ge Zhen, who swam back, exclaimed: "I have already observed the terrain here, the southeast is occupied by the Philippines and China's islands and reefs, and the southwest is occupied by Vietnam. Dude, don't move a bullet, take back a few islands and reefs to play. Don't worry, don't fire a shot, I'll swim over! ”

After staying here for more than three months, he had already figured out the surrounding situation when he was so idle that he was crazy, and swam out of more than 20 nautical miles several times, quietly entered the Philippine Islands and reefs, found out everything there, and stole some fresh fruits by the way to swim back and eat them.

This is a guy who can't be idle, and from time to time he scouts the enemy situation and brings some supplies from others.

"If you don't have anything to do, going diving can relieve stress." There was a voice on the radio.

"Don't make a fuss, I can now reach more than 50 meters of diving with my bare hands, and I have lost the challenge." Ge Zhen shouted.

"The record for human freehand diving is 113 meters, and you can try it."

"I'm going to challenge a fart!" Ge Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "What's the use of even if I can break the world record?" I'm diving for combat, and the 113m world record dive is amazing, but how long can I stay when I dive? The heart is pressed to the size of a plum, and if you stay for a second longer, you will die...... Feed! Feed? Feed?! ”

The other side had already hung up, too lazy to continue talking to him.

"Damn!" Ge Zhen scolded: "Can't you talk to me a few more words?" I've almost forgotten how to speak! ”

Yes, he is talking to himself every day, and when he reports, he catches people and speaks violently, because he is afraid that he will lose his ability to speak.

This is a relatively sealed space, if there is no radio, if there is not a semi-monthly supply ship, then this is an absolutely sealed space.

If a person stays in such a sealed space, it will not be long before he loses the ability to speak, and then becomes irritable and irritable, like the dog, and eventually suffocates himself.

"Smack!"

Sitting on the threshold, Ge Zhen lit a cigarette and smoked it, his cheeks, which were blackened by the sea breeze, became more angular, and the light in his eyes became more restrained and condensed, as if it was substantial.

"How much longer will I be allowed to stay here? How long are you going to throw me here to sharpen? Hey......"

Throwing him here to guard the reef is to sharpen his character to the limit, to make him lonely, to sublimate the spirit of the whole person in the extreme loneliness, and to condense the calmness that has thunder in his chest but is hidden deep in his heart.

No one told him how long he would have to stay, but Ge Zhen would leave when he knew it was time to go, and what he was doing now was still precipitation, precipitation, precipitation.

……

The sun jumped out of the sea and another day came.

"Let's go!"

Ge Zhen carried the national flag and gave himself a password, and walked around Tianya Reef with 75 centimeters at the right 75 centimeters for each step, and when the circle was over, he immediately made the next password to himself.

"Walking!"

In the middle of the loud password, the unison step turned into a positive step, and kicked to the flagpole along a straight line.

"Raise the national flag, play the national anthem, salute! ——”

Ge Zhen stuck the flagpole in the groove, saluted the five-star red flag fluttering in the sea breeze, and began to sing the national anthem in his mouth.

"Arise, people who do not want to be slaves, and cast our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall......"

Raise in the morning, lower the flag in the evening, whether the flag is raised or lowered, all of them walk around the reef in unison, and then kick it over.

This is to measure the sacred territory of the motherland with footsteps.

Four months passed, and Ge Zhen became darker and thinner, but more sturdy; Five months passed, and his skin was swarthy and radiant from top to bottom; Six months passed, and his eyes went from sharp to peaceful.

Seven months, eight months, nine months, ten months......

Ge Zhen is no longer anxious, no longer bored, no longer panicked, his spirit and temperament have undergone earth-shaking changes, all the sharpness has disappeared without a trace, and it has been replaced by the simplicity of the Chinese soldiers.

Every move, every word and smile, even gives people a feeling of shyness.

That's right, this is the feeling that all the officers and soldiers of the motherland guarding the island here will always be so ashamed when they laugh.

They may not be able to make any big sense, but they know that the territory under their feet needs to be measured by them, and the territorial waters of the motherland need to be defended by them.

Ge Zhen is transforming, he has been here for a whole year, and he has guarded the isolated island for a whole year, from sharp to unpretentious.

For others, staying here for a year is simply a waste of time, but for him, this is the core of the soldier's tempering - the extreme mode.

Extreme Mode Step 1: Extreme Solitude.
