Chapter 1501: The Otherworld (214)

"Smack. ”

His teammate hit the stone wall with his whole body, but he also clung to the stone with both hands.

Pang Xiaonan showed a relieved smile.

"Okay, I won't accompany you next, just come to me and follow the route I am traveling. ”

After speaking, Pang Xiaonan's feet catapulted, and the whole person rushed out towards the top of the stone wall.

The teammates watched Pang Xiaonan climb up, like a gecko swimming on a wall, and couldn't help but sigh:

"It's like walking on the ground. ”

And the rising channel that Pang Xiaonan gave up was just the base point for his teammates to grasp.

Soon, Pang Xiaonan climbed to the top of the mountain, and when he was about to reach the red flag, he surged up with all his limbs.

The red flag was close at hand, motionless on the top of the mountain, hot and dry desert, without a trace of wind.

As Pang Xiaonan's figure swept by, the red flag waved in the wind, and as soon as Pang Xiaonan stretched out his hand, he touched the red flag.

The instructor standing behind the red flag pressed the timer, and Pang Xiaonan stepped on the top of the mountain, looked at the instructor with a smile and said, "Instructor, has my task been completed?"

"End...... It's done. ”

The instructor was a little stunned, and Pang Xiaonan set another record.

Pang Xiaonan was the first alternate to reach the top of the mountain, and just over 70 minutes had passed since the first batch of teammates boarded the plane.

And Pang Xiaonan only took 45 minutes.

"General, the first alternate has reached the top of the mountain!"

The chief of staff in the barracks reported the good news to General Feng Yuxi.

"So fast?"

General Feng Yuxi frowned,

"This year's alternates are very good. ”

The chief of staff smiled, if the members of each session were so powerful, there would be a successor to the Sea Dragon Commando.

"Who was the first to arrive?"

For each item of the Sea Dragon Commando Trial, General Feng Yuxi wanted to know who the champion was, after all, every item was carefully selected by the Sea Dragon Commando to test the qualities of the soldiers.

Pang Xiaonan...... It was him again, and I remember that he was the first to arrive at yesterday's assessment. ”

The chief of staff looked at the results suspiciously, not believing that one person could achieve such good results at the same time.

Yesterday's orienteering, if there was a lucky element in it, today's triathlon is completely completed by physical strength.

"Pang Xiaonan......"

General Feng Yuxi fell into deep thought, what kind of person is this, his physical and psychological qualities are so strong, and he is still a miracle doctor.

"General, his results are out, it only took 45 minutes!"

The chief of staff shouted excitedly.

General Feng Yuxi turned his head to look at the chief of staff, trying to hide the excitement in his heart.

45 minutes!

This is an incredible achievement.

To be able to run with weights in 45 minutes is already at the top level.

And Pang Xiaonan was able to complete all the projects in 45 minutes.

This means that in the field, no matter what obstacles are encountered, it is impossible to stop Pang Xiaonan's pace of progress.

"Who the hell are you?"

The second day's triathlon took only half a day to complete all the races.

Of the 51 team members, 47 completed the race, and 25 of them scored within 2 hours.

This result made General Feng Yuxi feel gratified, because the pass rate was higher than in previous years.

Zhao Sijiajia's score was on the verge of passing, her score was 1 hour and 53 minutes, and she was almost eliminated.

When Zhao Sijiajia ran to Pang Xiaonan's side out of breath, she said happily: "Thanks to the big iron ball you made for me, otherwise I would have been brushed down for this weight-bearing run." ”

Women's strength level is naturally worse than that of men, if it weren't for Zhao Sijiajia exercising her strength with a big iron ball in Pang Xiaonan's practice room every day, she would definitely be sad to run this level with weights, even if she passed, she would not reach the passing line.

All the alternates went back to the barracks for lunch, and half of them were sent away.

In the selection competition of the Sea Dragon Commando, as long as they are eliminated, they will be immediately sent back to their original units.

As a result, none of the eliminated alternates knew what was going on.

The remaining players are gathered in a small jousting arena.

The instructor gave the order before the battle: "Stand up! Rest for ......"

"Okay, first of all, congratulations to all of you, you have successfully qualified, one of your feet has stepped into the ranks of the Sea Dragon Commando, but next, there is a more cruel selection method. ”

"See the ring behind you? Tomorrow, we're going to have our final tryout here. ”

"That's right, the last fight is a fighting tournament, and the winner is king. ”

"You will be divided into groups of 3, 25 finalists, divided into 8 groups, and the remaining one will randomly join one of the 8 groups. ”

"8 groups for the knockout round, two by two, the winner enters the next round, 8 into 4, 4 into 2, and finally determines the champion, runner-up and third place, the top three teams in the game, a total of 9 people, automatically become a new member of the Sea Dragon Commando, the remaining one place, born among the remaining 16 people. ”

"16 people, the same group competition, 16 into 8, 8 into 4, 4 into 2, the final to determine the champion, the final champion, will be the last selected personnel of the Sea Dragon Commando. ”

"In the group stage, the rotation system is adopted, each group sends one person to play at a time, and the remaining players make up for the loss, until all the team members lose, and the opponent advances. ”

"Have you ever played a game called The King of Fighters, which is the mode of competition. ”

"We're going to have the group stage tomorrow morning, the individual competition in the afternoon, and in the evening, we'll be able to decide where you want to go!"

The instructor glanced at the audience: "Do you have any questions?"

"Instructor, I have a problem!"

A bespectacled alternate raised his hand.

"Say!"

"Isn't that unfair if the grouping isn't ideal?"

The glasses man's question provoked a burst of embarrassment in the audience.

"What he said makes sense, if all his teammates can't play, then it's a big loss. ”

"Yes, I strongly request that it be changed to an all-individual competition, and the top 10 people will be selected. ”

"There was too much luck in the group stage. ”

"The group stage depends on luck, the individual competition is all about strength, and the individual competition is still after the group stage, maybe you will be injured or exhausted by the group stage, how can you play?"

Pang Xiaonan listened to everyone's discussion silently, and he didn't have any ideas.

Whether it is the group stage or the individual competition, there is no obstacle for Pang Xiaonan.

Because strength is the best luck, and if you are strong enough, you can lead the group to victory.

Because you can never lose.

"Okay, your question is good!"

The instructor's voice drowned out the alternates' discussions.

"But I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you all, luck is also part of strength!"

"The reason why we designed this group stage is because our actions in the future will be team battles!"

"In the Sea Dragon Commando, there is no individual heroism!"

"Have you ever heard of the barrel theory? The strength of a team does not depend on the strongest player, but on the weakest player. ”

"If you don't want to hold the team back, work hard to improve your strength!"

"Our grouping is random, and you are lucky to be assigned to a strong group, but if you are strong enough, no matter which group you go to, you are the one who brings good luck to the group members!"

"Okay! This issue is not discussed, are there any other questions?"

Hearing the instructor's explanation, everyone suddenly had no doubts, and the scene became quiet.

"If there is no problem, in the afternoon, everyone is free to move around, prepare for the competition, and tomorrow I hope everyone will play their best. ”

"Okay, disband!"

Watching the alternates leave one after another, the chief of staff, who was standing in the corner and watching, said to General Feng Yuxi: "General, what do you think of Pang Xiaonan's martial arts level?"

"I don't know, at least it should be average, right?"

General Feng Yuxi didn't know Pang Xiaonan's true level, because he looked at Pang Xiaonan with the eyes of a veteran, and he couldn't see that he had any special forces fighting skills, at least his figure was not the typical figure of a soldier king.

But General Feng Yuxi is full of interest in tomorrow's game, which is a good opportunity to observe the strength of a team member.

The big teammate Pang Xiaonan met on the stone wall walked to Pang Xiaonan's side.

"Thank you today, brother. ”

The big man stretched out his right hand, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Bai Tam and I am from the Northern Military Region." ”

"Hello, I'm Pang Xiaonan. ”

Pang Xiaonan smiled and shook hands with Bai Tamp.

"If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to complete the selection, and I don't know how to thank you. ”

Bai Tam sincerely has a good impression of Pang Xiaonan, in such a fierce competition, Pang Xiaonan still has the heart to stop and help a competitor who meets in Pingshui, this mind is as broad as the sea.

"You're welcome, maybe we'll still be teammates in the future?"

Pang Xiaonan also has a good impression of this big man, although he is sturdy, his face is unpretentious, like a simple peasant.

"If you're lucky, get into my group, and I'll protect you from making the cut!"

Bai Tam finally revealed his strength, he is the king of fighting in the Northern Military Region, so he has the opportunity to participate in the selection of the Sea Dragon Commando this time.

Pang Xiaonan grinned and said, "Then God bless." ”

After Bai Tam left, Zhao Sijiajia came to Pang Xiaonan's side at some point.

"Gee, if only I had been in a group with you. ”

Zhao Sijiajia walked on Pang Xiaonan's left and right with her hands behind her back.

"What are you worried about, aren't you the champion of the martial arts conference? ”

Pang Xiaonan looked at Zhao Sijiajia in surprise, this is not the attitude that a champion should have.

"What is my champion, I'm in the women's group, and this sea dragon commando is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, but I'm afraid that there are a lot of masters. ”

Zhao Sijiajia is self-aware, just in the morning triathlon, although her results are not at the bottom, but they are also worse than many alternates.

The level of martial arts must be based on physical strength and will, and if the foundation is not good, martial arts cannot be any better.

"Then you think I must beat them?"

Pang Xiaonan naturally knew that these people in the Sea Dragon Commando Team were not idle people, and during the competition, he used his spiritual sense to casually probe a few people, all of whom were above the intermediate level of martial arts.

Many people will not be able to reach the middle level of martial arts in their lifetime, but in the Sea Dragon Commando, this middle level of martial arts is probably a rookie at the beginning.

Of course, there are also team members who are not martial arts masters, but their quality in other aspects is beyond ordinary people.

For example, the man with glasses who just asked the question, his physical fitness can only be said to have just touched the threshold of the Sea Dragon Commando, but he is strong in his sophisticated brain.

"Tell me honestly, what level are you at now?"

Because he hadn't fought against Pang Xiaonan for a few days, Zhao Sijiajia didn't know Pang Xiaonan's current strength, but he believed that Pang Xiaonan had at least one stage of leapfrogging compared to half a year ago, and the worst thing was that he was at the top of the martial arts.

"I'm at my level now...... Pang Xiaonan sold a pass, "You can see when you arrive." ”

The whereabouts of Pang Xiaonan and Zhao Sijiajia were seen by the chief of staff.

"These two people really have a story. ”

Judging from the information of the two, they are both from Dongli Military Academy, and they are also contestants in a Dongli Military Academy mixed martial arts competition, so they should have had some intersection before.

However, judging from the intimacy of the two, it doesn't look like that kind of general friendship.

And the chief of staff observed that every time Zhao Sijiajia took the initiative to approach Pang Xiaonan.

"This is not the style of a big star, is there anything outstanding about Pang Xiaonan that deserves the condescension of a big star?"

Alternates are not allowed to leave the base and are not allowed to communicate with the outside world, so they can only move around the base, some rest directly in the dormitory, and some wander here and there.

Fortunately, there is everything in the base, supermarket, library, dance hall, but it is like a small town.

"Shall we go to the café over there?"

Zhao Sijiajia proposed.

"But, do you have any money?"

All the alternates' wallets and all their belongings were handed over when they entered the base, and now, each team member really has nothing but the clothes on their bodies.

"It doesn't cost money to sit, do you want to wander aimlessly like this?"

Zhao Sijiajia ignored Pang Xiaonan and walked towards the café.

Pang Xiaonan had to follow closely, there was still so much time before the game, it was really not good to pass the time, and the aura here was also thin, otherwise he could meditate and absorb some aura.

The two men found a table near the street and sat down.

Here, there are no waiters to come up and ask, because almost all the commercial places in the base are self-help, and the only service personnel are military dependents, and if you want to buy something, you can only take the initiative to ask.

For example, if you want to drink coffee, you can only go to the counter and find the only waiter, "Hello, bring me a cup of mocha." ”

Then the waiter will put your coffee on the bar and you will walk to the selected spot yourself.

Pang Xiaonan and Zhao Sijiajia didn't ask, so naturally no one came to ask them.

"Have you ever thought that if you were selected for the Sea Dragon Commando, your life would be turned upside down. ”

Pang Xiaonan has not been able to figure out why Zhao Sijiajia, a big star, wants to participate in the selection of the Sea Dragon Commando.

"As long as I can join the Sea Dragon Commando, I don't care what changes my life will make. ”

Zhao Sijiajia calmly looked at the few pots of flowers placed on the railing of the café, she didn't know where the fresh water came from to water these bright flowers in this lifeless place.

"If you join the Sea Dragon Commando, you are not you, and you are not a big star Zhao Sijiajia anymore, you have become a commando Zhao Sijiajia, maybe you don't even have the right to choose your own object. ”

Pang Xiaonan thought far-reachingly, if he was really selected, any action in the future would be supervised by the Sea Dragon Commando, and he would no longer be able to do what he wanted.

"You think too much, although the rules of the Sea Dragon Commando may be troublesome, but there should be no interference in our private world by the state, right?"

Zhao Sijiajia suddenly felt that this base was a little weird, in addition to where the fresh water came from, and how to solve the daily meals also troubled her heart.

"Eh, you say, where does the fresh water come from in this base, it can't be transported from outside every day, right?"

Zhao Sijiajia finally changed the topic and cared about the problems of life.

"Surely it can't have been transported, have you ever seen a cart carrying water? I guess somewhere there is an underground well, although it is a desert, it is not excluded that there is an underground river. ”

Pang Xiaonan thinks that such a large base is a little unrealistic if it lives on water transportation.

At this moment, a woman walked out of the store.

"Why don't you order something to drink?"

The woman smiled and walked to the two of them, she is the owner of this café, strictly speaking, she is responsible for taking care of this café, all the facilities in the base belong to the base, and the staff is only responsible for management.

"We don't have any money. Pang Xiaonan took the lead in shrugging his shoulders, "It's taken away." ”

The woman's eyes lit up, "You're an alternate member of the Sea Dragon Commando, right?"

She immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you who you are, it's confidential. ”

It seems that the women are the military dependents of the internal personnel of the Sea Dragon Commando, so they only know that there is a selection of the Sea Dragon Commando in the past few days.

"God knows, you know and I know," Pang Xiaonan smiled, "Don't tell anyone else." ”

"Definitely. The woman paused, "I'll give you a cup of coffee." ”

"Isn't it okay?" Pang Xiaonan said politely.

"It's okay, maybe we'll be a family in the future. ”

The woman turned and went into the shop and brought two cups of coffee.

"There are very few guests this afternoon, so I'll chat with you. ”

The woman unceremoniously sat down in the seat between Pang Xiaonan and Zhao Sijiajia.

"Thank you. Pang Xiaonan took a sip of coffee.

Zhao Sijiajia didn't rush to coffee, but cared about the problem she just remembered.

"Eldest sister, where did you get the fresh water here?"

In the past two days, Zhao Sijiajia has observed, there are deserts everywhere, how can there be water sources.

"Hehe, you don't know, this base is actually on the dividing line between the desert and the wetland, so below the base, there is land containing water, and the domestic water of the base comes partly from groundwater and partly from stored rainwater. ”

"Is it raining here too?"

Zhao Sijiajia looked at the woman suspiciously.

"Why doesn't it rain? It's just that it's less raining. ”

The woman pointed to the flowers on the fence, "Don't worry, we don't have a shortage of water here, otherwise how could we still have that leisure to raise a few pots of flowers." ”

"Eldest sister, is the headquarters of the Sea Dragon Commando here?"

Pang Xiaonan is more concerned about the issue of the Sea Dragon Commando.

"I don't know," the woman shook her head, "no one knows where the headquarters of the Sea Dragon Commando is, this is just a point set up by the Sea Dragon Commando in the base, which is equivalent to an office. ”

"And what is the purpose of this office?"

"As far as I know, the Sea Dragon Commando has offices in each military base, and the role of each office is different, and the office of this base, in addition to arranging daily things, also has the function of selecting team members and training. ”

"Do you know who the biggest leader of the Sea Dragon Commando is?"

Pang Xiaonan suddenly became interested in the big boss.

"How could I possibly know," the woman shook her head, "it is said that the mastermind behind the Sea Dragon Commando is only qualified to be contacted by the leader of each Sea Dragon Commando team. ”

"So mysterious?"

Pang Xiaonan frowned.

"Of course, don't you know?" the woman's eyes widened, "The Sea Dragon Commando is an organization hated by many countries, especially the mastermind information behind this scene, which can be sold for a lot of money on the black market." ”

No wonder the Sea Dragon Commandos are so mysterious, it turned out to protect the safety of their members.

"Okay, you sit down first, I can't talk to you anymore, I'm afraid I'll leak my mouth again. ”

The woman stood up and walked into the store.

"Pang Xiaonan, it seems that our heads will be worth a lot in the future. ”

Zhao Sijiajia had just listened to the woman's description, and suddenly felt that her worth had risen sharply.

"You're already worth a lot of money. ”

Pang Xiaonan glanced at Zhao Sijiajia, picked up the coffee and took a few sips.

In the early morning of the next day, Pang Xiaonan got up early and sat on the bed to inhale.

Pang Xiaonan's dormitory, only one of them has been eliminated.

And Pang Xiaonan's current kung fu of absorbing spiritual energy can already be refined to absorb the spiritual energy of human beings.

People are the spirits of all things, so the aura on people is the most sufficient, and the alternate members of the Sea Dragon Commando who are now living in this dormitory have sufficient aura on their bodies, because they are all strong people, and they naturally have the characteristics of abundant spiritual power.

It's just that in addition to the aura, there are also bad breaths such as sickness on the body, and if you are not careful, you will absorb some bad things, therefore, Pang Xiaonan has reached the current level of martial arts, so that he can perfectly control only inhaling the aura and excluding the bad breath.

Although Pang Xiaonan doesn't have any worries about today's game, it is still beneficial to add a little more physical strength, at least to ensure that he is not so tired when he shoots, after all, there is a dragon and a crouching tiger in this player, and it is not easy to deal with if he fights wheel battles.

The game started at eight o'clock after breakfast.

The instructor typed everyone's names into the computer, pressed the grouping key in full view, and the names of 25 people scrolled on the big screen, and soon divided into eight groups, leaving one person's name.

Everyone stared at the grouping on the big screen, and Zhao Sijiajia was even more worried.

After the information on the screen was set, Zhao Sijiajia was pleasantly surprised to find that her name and Pang Xiaonan were next to each other, and they were divided into a group.

The person left on the list of 25 people turned out to be Bai Tam.

The instructor announced, "Please come to the front and draw lots to determine your group." ”

The members of the other eight groups whispered, "Bai Tam comes to our group! Bai Tam comes to our group......

Each group wants to have one more team member, which greatly increases the probability of promotion. And Bai Tam's strength is obvious to all, as everyone can see from his figure.

Moreover, some people know that Bai Tam got the second best result in the second round of the competition.

In the first two rounds of selection, no one in the alternate team knew the results of the rest, except for the staff who monitored the candidates.

However, there are always people who can see the players who arrive a little earlier or a little later.

Bai Tam walked to the front and reached into a black box, and pulled out a small note.

The instructor took the note, opened it, and announced the results:

Bai Tam joined Group 7. ”

"Ah, what luck!"

Zhao Sijiajia jumped up like a little girl, she was group 7.

Today, she not only got her wish and became a group with Pang Xiaonan, but also had an invincible team member, which made people unhappy.

"Please sit in the area we have arranged, and then we will randomly assign the battle group. ”

Pang Xiaonan walked to the waiting area of Group 7, and then the man with glasses also walked over.

"Hello everyone, my name is Hou Zhengnan, and I am also from the seventh group. ”

Seven groups of team members confirmed the completion, Pang Xiaonan, Bai Tamp, Zhao Sijiajia, Hou Zhengnan.

Bai Tam happily hugged Pang Xiaonan's shoulder, "Brother, look, our wishes have come true, today, I will provoke the promotion beam!"

"Ah...... Good. ”

Pang Xiaonan just wanted to retain his physical strength, or rather, he could not make a move, so why bother?

"Are you...... Zhao Sijiajia?"

Hou Zhengnan, who wore glasses, finally recognized the world-renowned international female star.

"Brother, your eyesight is really not good, I only recognize her now, I recognized her at first sight, I am a huge fan of her. ”

Pang Xiaonan sneered at Hou Zhengnan on the side, but was slapped open by Zhao Sijiajia.

"Oh my God, I'm in a group with big stars. ”

Hou Zhengnan couldn't believe his eyes, so he took off his glasses and wiped them again. It was only after putting back on my glasses that I confirmed my momentous discovery.

"Big star, why are you here to participate in this tryout?"

Like Pang Xiaonan, Hou Zhengnan can't believe that a star would give up a successful life to run for a crisis-ridden team.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, let's think about how to get through. ”

Pang Xiaonan interrupted Hou Zhengnan, this issue can no longer be entangled.

"Yes, we should focus on the game now. ”

Bai Tam stared at the display, waiting for the situation of the group battle to come out.

Round 1:

2 groups VS 5 groups,

7 groups VS 1 group,

4 groups VS 6 groups,

8 groups VS 3 groups.

Pang Xiaonan and Bai Tam both looked over to the area of Group 1.

"This group doesn't seem to be very strong. ”

Hou Zhengnan then looked at the 1 group through the glass lens for a long time and came to a conclusion.

"Don't underestimate the enemy, you can enter this stage, there is no weakling. ”

Bai Tam came to the conclusion that he was not a simple-minded guy with developed limbs.

Since Group 7 is the second group, it is necessary to arrange the order of appearance as soon as possible.

"Ladies first, right?"

Pang Xiaonan squinted at Zhao Sijiajia.

"No, big stars can't play first, who doesn't know that big stars are the finale. ”

Hou Zhengnan was resolutely right, he couldn't bear to see Zhao Sijiajia injured.

"Then you go up first. ”

Pang Xiaonan saw the wind and made the rudder.

Since you want to chase stars, you should pay a little.

"I ...... I can't do it......"

Hou Zhengnan's voice became smaller and quieter.

"If you can't do kung fu, you have to do it, is it possible that you still want to hide behind us all the time?"

Pang Xiaonan just likes to push the cannon fodder forward first. And Hou Zhengnan's idea is unrealistic, how can he ensure that the rest of the group will always be able to block the opponent's offensive?

"I'll take the lead," Bai Tam patted Pang Xiaonan's right shoulder, "I said I would protect you." ”

"Yes, yes, the master takes the lead. ”

When Hou Zhengnan heard that someone took the initiative to ask for help, he couldn't help but echo it.

"Shut up. ”

Pang Xiaonan pretended to be angry and looked at Hou Zhengnan.

"You can't take the lead," Pang Xiaonan looked at Bai Tam again,

"You're the main player, and your function has to wait until the next game. ”

"Yes, Pang Xiaonan is right. ”

Zhao Sijiajia is a player who has played in major competitions and knows how to arrange troops.

"If you run out of energy in the first two rounds or get injured, you won't be able to perform to the best of your ability later. ”

"And the later the game, the more difficult it is to play, and the more you need people with strong martial arts to suppress the formation. ”

Pang Xiaonan pointed at Hou Zhengnan,

"So, you have to go first. ”

"Okay......"

Hou Zhengnan listened to Pang Xiaonan and Zhao Sijiajia's analysis, and he could only take the lead, he visually measured Pang Xiaonan's strength, which was above himself, so for the whole group, he was undoubtedly cannon fodder.
