At dawn, Qin Fen and the others finished their pre-breakfast training. They walked into the dining hall to eat when the enormous troop transport ship suddenly trembled and stopped advancing.
The recruits revealed expressions of doubt, and the voice of a seasoned soldier came from the loudspeaker. "Butters! Your good days have come to an end! We have already arrived in Australia! Immediately arrive at the deck within two minutes. "
After a few days of training, the recruits had already begun to adapt to the order to appear in a few minutes. Everyone tossed aside the plates in their hands, turned around, and ran toward the deck.
The troop transport ship had long since stopped advancing in the vast ocean. It quietly stopped a distance away from the harbor.
"Butters, do you see the continent up ahead?"
"Reporting, sir! I see it! "The roar of over two thousand people was an extremely shocking matter.
"Excellent! Right now, I order you all to jump into the ocean using the prepared ropes at the side of the ship. Then swim to the shore! "
Everyone, including Qin Fen, were collectively stunned. Swim over? Swimming in the ocean and swimming in a swimming pool were two completely different concepts.
You could swim a thousand meters in a swimming pool, but you might not be able to swim five hundred meters in the ocean. Who knew if there were sharks in the ocean or not?
"What's wrong? Do you have questions? If you don't want to use the ropes, I don't mind throwing you off the ship …. "
Before the commanding officer could finish shouting, some people had already begun to break away from the group. Everyone had learned to obey orders during this period of time.
"Oh right, the last hundred people to reach the shore won't get dinner. The last to reach the shore won't get dinner for the entire class. The first to reach the shore will get dinner for the entire class. These are the rules of the recruit training camp! "
These words were shouted, and the recruits began to fight over the ten ropes at the side of the ship. For a time, the deck was incomparably lively.
This time, Qin Fen's position was quite far from the side of the ship. He weighed it a bit before quickly turning around and rushing toward the bow of the troop transport ship.
"Old squad leader, your soldier …." The commander stood at the highest point of the troop transport ship. He pointed at Qin Fen, who was moving at high speed, with great surprise. "Don't tell me he's going to …."
Qin Fen had a sufficient understanding of Jin Kui of his class after a few days of training. Jin Kui was the last to finish practically every training session. After every training session, Jin Kui would chatter endlessly about how he was just here to pass the time. He wanted to get the retirement funds to become a businessman.
Jin Kui didn't have dinner by himself, but Qin Fen didn't object. If Jin Kui was in last place and they were implicated to the point that they didn't have dinner, that would be too much of a loss!
Standing at the forefront of the ship, Qin Fen glanced at the seawater below. His heart trembled a little. This wasn't a jumping platform of a few meters, but a jumping platform of tens of meters. Even the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art might not be able to withstand the impact of a freefall.
Qin Fen took a deep breath, and he suddenly heard the sound of high-speed footsteps moving far behind him. He turned around to look, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. Du Peng, the recruit who refused to admit defeat in everything, had come to accompany him in jumping into the sea.
Raising the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to the extreme, Qin Fen somersaulted and jumped into the sea. Du Peng, who was hot on his heels, arrived at the side of the ship. He looked at the enormous height and sucked in a breath of cold air.
Thump!
Qin Fen plunged deep into the sea, and the corner of Du Peng's lips lightly twitched. It was as if he was blaming himself for being timid. Then he leaped into the sea as well.
"Squad Leader Hao, the soldiers under you really have guts."
Squad Leader Hao was dumbstruck when he saw this. Back when he joined the army, he was known for his guts. When faced with the choice of jumping into the sea or using a rope, he chose the rope over jumping into the sea.
Splash!
Qin Fen, who plunged deep into the sea, popped his head out a dozen or so meters from the hull of the ship.
Back in the day, Qin Fen had once worked as a lifeguard at the seaside for the sake of earning money.
As a lifeguard, he needed to have excellent swimming skills. For the sake of his decent salary, Qin Fen really did put quite a bit of effort into swimming.
As soon as he entered the water, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art circulated throughout his entire body. His entire being was like a high-speed torpedo. He didn't have the slightest intention of conserving his strength.
The squad leaders, platoon commanders, and company commanders on the command platform revealed expressions of shock once more. For recruits, even if they relied on internal arts and evenly distributed their strength, it was already quite difficult for them to swim five thousand meters. Swimming five thousand meters like a hundred-meter sprint? It was the same as running five thousand meters with a hundred-meter sprint on land. It was simply impossible to accomplish!
"Old squad leader, you're too arrogant as a recruit. He's at least five thousand meters away from the shore. You're going to swim at full speed from the start? I think you'll have to drive a speedboat halfway to scoop him up. "
The one who spoke was the squad leader of First Squad, Third Platoon, Third Company, Second Battalion. He was also the only squad leader out of all the squad leaders this time, Huang Hao.
"Really?" Squad Leader Hao's lips twitched in a very uncaring manner. "Are you interested in making a bet? I bet this kid can maintain this speed all the way to the beach. One hundred dollars! "
"I'll bet!"
Huang Hao didn't show weakness. He was confident in Qin Fen's current movement speed in the sea. He, a squad leader who had gone through several years of military training, might just barely be able to match Qin Fen's speed. It was impossible for a relatively outstanding recruit to accomplish this.
Du Peng's head popped out from the sea at this time. He saw Qin Fen's super fast speed, and a flash of hesitation appeared between his brows. Then his gaze flickered with the determination to stake it all. He copied Qin Fen and swam as fast as he could.
The last recruit entered the water, and several lifeboats followed behind them at a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow. They were ready to scoop up the recruits who had cramps or were completely out of strength at any moment.
