Special Years

Chapter 841: boundless sea

Zhuang Yan has the best swimming performance in the entire sas training team, including backstroke, freestyle and breaststroke.

Among them, backstroke fins and freestyle broke the records of previous sas reserve training camps. Ahmed once said that Zhuang Yan was a "flying fish" half-seriously and half-jokingly, and greatly appreciated his swimming skills.

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

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

But on the island of R, compared with the "Feast of Death", the previous 10-kilometer swim was simply too comfortable.

First of all, swimming the 10 miles is just a straight-line distance.

What is a straight line distance?

It is the distance obtained by converting the scale after measuring with a ruler on the map.

It's not really how far you swim.

Because people do not swim in a straight line forever in the sea, if you find that the current is not right, in order to save your physical strength, you sometimes have to float along the current for a while, move forward slowly, or avoid the undercurrent, rather than fighting the current. Right.

Human beings are as small as dust in front of nature. Even special forces who have received extremely strict training must still know how to respect nature, otherwise they will be dead.

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

Not as warm as July and August.

Zhuang Yan and Qasim leaned side by side, like a couple lying on the bed, and started to flip their fins together.

Although the waves today are not big, for those who only wear a buoyancy vest and have no other equipment to help, the power of the sea is extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, the flippers provide more thrust, at least giving the solemn a "swimming" feel.

There are 5 coastlines from the SAS training team pier on R Island to the Sat pier. The entire route is equivalent to swimming from R Island back to the seaside on land.

In the beginning, the two tried to maintain their physical strength and finned at a constant speed.

It's the same as running long distances, you can't start sprinting, or you won't be able to complete the entire distance.

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

The dinghy is full of water and energy bars.

The rubber dinghies of Instructors Achim and Fahri were not far from Solemn and Qasim's group.

Seeing Zhuang Yan, Achim pulled the boat over and asked Zhuang Yan loudly: "Zhuang! Do you want mineral water!? Do you want an energy bar?!"

Shaking his head solemnly.

He didn't want to deal with this guy.

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

But after a long time, it will definitely be necessary.

Zhuang Yan estimated that it would take him more than five hours to swim to the wharf of the sat brigade. If he could control it within six hours, the result was already very good.

He didn't like that Achim would drive the rubber boat over when he had nothing to do, because the rubber boat would bring a certain amount of current impact. This may not matter in normal times, but now Zhuang Yan feels uncomfortable with a little extra influencing factor, after all, the whole swimming distance is too far.

A little bit of physical strength is invaluable here.

While swimming, Kasim suddenly asked, "Zhuang, do you remember the dangerous marine biology class we took when we started school?"

Zhuang Yan tilted his head and glanced at his partner, really wanting to kick him to death.

The marine dangerous creatures course introduces all the dangerous creatures that will appear in the Black Sea generation, including sharks, poisonous jellyfish, sea urchins that can stab people, and ferocious moray eels...

During the training on the island of R, many people in the marine subjects were stung by creatures such as jellyfish floating in the water.

There was once an unlucky guy who stepped directly on the sea urchin, and the tears flowed in pain.

Zhuang Yan is unwilling to encounter those terrifying things. When you are hit by this, that kind of pain can make you want to die.

"Kasim, do you know what people like you are called in our family?" asked solemnly.

Kasim wiped the seawater on his face and said with a smile, "Is he handsome?"

He actually learned the Chinese word "handsome guy", although the tone is not accurate, but it sounds weird and has a different flavor.

"No, we call people like you Crow Mouth." said solemnly, "Does crow know? It is a symbol of bad luck and evil, so I beg you not to mention those things, in case you really encounter it later. It's here, do you still take the exam today?"

"We are wearing diving suits!" Kasim laughed: "Zhuang, are the soldiers in your country so timid?"

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

Zhuang Yan is too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

Of course he doesn't know how the word "decline" in Chinese culture is written.

Suddenly, Kasim, who was proud just now, let out a loud cry.

"Is that so?" Zhuang Yan realized that something was wrong and quickly asked.

Kasim stopped his webbing and raised his right leg with a grin. He was wearing a scuba suit, like five-length pants. Although it covered his thighs, his calf was still exposed.

"Zhuang! I seem to have been bitten by something!"

Solemn was taken aback.

Sea snakes were also introduced in the Dangerous Marine Biology class.

While this thing isn't too aggressive, the question is, who knows if it's going to come across a twitchy sea snake?

However, just two seconds later, Zhuang Yan was relieved again.

Because sea snakes generally have more snake sperm and toxins, people who are bitten generally don't feel much pain, but it doesn't mean that the thing bites you is fine.

The poison of sea snakes is stronger than that of terrestrial snakes, and many of them still top the list of poisons.

"It shouldn't be a sea snake." A solemn glance at the furry right leg Kasim raised.

There was a red streak on the calf, as if it had been scalded by something.

"It's a jellyfish." Zhuang Yan said, "It hurts a lot, doesn't it? Retribution will come when you say it, what did I just say?"

Kasim endured the pain and continued to use his fins while asking Zhuang Yan: "Zhuang, do I want to raise my hand to report? Will I die? I remember that it was written in the textbook that it would lead to death."

Zhuang Yan said: "That's not necessarily true. Some jellyfish are very poisonous and can kill people. Some only hurt for a few days."

Kasim was clearly worried.

He seemed to be hesitating to raise his hand.

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

Don't make a decision for Kasim, it's a matter of his personal choice.

In the end, Kasim still made up his mind and said, "I'll stick to it first, and if I feel really uncomfortable, I'll quit."

"Okay." Zhuang Yan also understood Kasim's thoughts.

I have come to this level, and I am about to graduate. Kasim's grades are not bad, so it is a pity to give up.

Anyway, there are rubber boats around, and many boats are equipped with first-aid kits. If someone has an accident, they will be immediately dragged to the boat for first aid, and then quickly sent to the hospital for treatment.

This is the experience summed up over the years.

Almost every year, SAS reservists from training camps fall into the "Physical Fitness Festival" project, and some people lose their lives because of it.

After Kasim was stung by a jellyfish once, he became honest and quiet, and he didn't dare to say a word of nonsense.

Zhuang Yan was also happy to be clean, and the two continued to hit their flippers in the target direction.

For the first hour, the two of them could also ensure that their posture would not let the sea water enter.

Zhuang Yan 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 over~lightnovelpub.net~ The sea water kept pouring into the mouth, and the ligaments of the ankle and calf also began to hurt and were torn.

Two hours later, Zhuang Yan and Qasim had already swum across the coastlines of the two islands.

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

The sun was shining on his face, hot and fiery, but his body soaked in the sea was freezing to death.

Unlike long-distance running on the road, the longer you stay in the sea, the faster your questions drop.

Kasim completely shut up this time, his face was ashen and his webbed webbed silently, he didn't dare to say more.

It can be seen that he is also experiencing a difficult physical barrier.

Like long-distance running, when you reach a certain distance, you will encounter a physical barrier.

After getting through it, people will feel a lot more comfortable.

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