Chapter 2986
2986 Determination
The withdrawal of the participants from the two countries didn’t affect the Chinese special forces at all. At first, they didn’t know whether the special forces soldiers from the 11th and 12th-ranked countries had really withdrawn or if it was a psychological trap laid for the various special forces soldiers by the referee.
The Chinese special forces soldiers were a little surprised that two countries had withdrawn from the competition. A few days ago, they had a short conversation with the United States and Italy. The other party had mentioned that there had been special forces soldiers from participating countries who had withdrawn from the competition in the past. Although they knew, they were still a little surprised when they heard it with their own ears.
How could they withdraw from an international competition just like that… How were they going to answer to their country when they went back?
However, on the other hand, with this experience and training, they could see the difference between them and the other soldiers more clearly. Hence, although it was a pity for them to leave the competition, at least they had experienced it. They knew the difference between them and the others, and they had also seen the difference in strength. It could be considered a very precious journey in the military.
The eight Chinese participants faced the referee’s question again. Even though Big Shark’s voice was hoarse from a fever, he straightened his back and tightened his neck. He used his hoarse voice to say firmly, “I won’t withdraw! I won’t withdraw! I can continue! I’ll continue until the end of the competition! Please don’t question my determination anymore! Thank you!”
When the referee at the control station tempted the participating special forces soldiers from all over the world, he would look for the soldiers with the weakest willpower through the surveillance cameras.
Big Shark was picked out by the referee because of his cold and fever. However, it was useless. Even though Big Shark was sick, he still used his firm willpower to avoid the trap set by the referee.
According to the rules of the competition, as long as one of the members replied that he would withdraw from the competition, the team would be eliminated immediately. It wasn’t that they were eliminated for this round. Instead, they would be eliminated from the entire competition. No matter how good their early results were, they would be eliminated!
It was already seven o’clock in the evening on the fourth day. The fragrance of barbecued meat came from the tent near the control station. The Chinese special forces soldiers who were continuing their combat had experienced a beach landing ten minutes ago. Every member was drenched in the salty seawater. Even their backpacks were still dripping with water. Looking at the trap set by the referee for Big Shark, the other seven members didn’t interrupt. They believed that Big Shark wouldn’t be ‘deceived.’
The night sky on the surface of the sea was very hazy. There was a crescent moon in the sky. Under the clear and cold moonlight, it added a hint of killing intent to the forest near the sea.
On the beach, the sound of artillery shells was deafening. Gunpowder filled the entire coastline. Two rubber boats collided with each other and approached the coastline that was like a wall of water. The participants from other countries were still working hard.
In front of them was someone from the host country, the referee who was still deliberately delaying time. Big Shark, Ye Jian, Xia Jinyuan, and the others standing at the side didn’t change their expressions. There was no anxiety on their faces.
They were calm and composed. Even though their bodies were numb from the torture, their majestic aura as Chinese soldiers never changed.
The referee patted Big Shark’s shoulder lightly. He didn’t say anything, but this light pat on the shoulder had already expressed his intention.
The Chinese soldiers who always ranked fifth were really impressive!
Soon, the Chinese team members left the control station near the sea and rushed into the primeval forest that even the military’s moonlight couldn’t illuminate. Their bodies were already numb from exhaustion, but their tenacious willpower allowed them to run toward the finishing point.
