Chapter 242 Ugly

On the other side, in the waters near a certain military island, a group of people were conducting underwater combat training, and Lu Changzheng was among them.

The idea of ​​forming a special group was for the entire army.

Our country's current naval strength is still relatively weak, and in the past two years, there have been disputes with other countries on the southern islands.

Therefore, the idea of ​​forming a special maritime group has long been on the mind of the higher authorities.

The Yangcheng Military Region began preparations last year, mobilizing 200 elite soldiers from the entire army, and has already carried out a training session, screening out 100 elite soldiers.

In mid-January, the second training session will officially begin, and 50 more people will be screened out from the 100 people.

Commander Lin was very optimistic about Lu Changzheng. After asking for his opinion, he stuffed him into the 100 people to participate in the second training session.

As a sudden paratrooper who got in through the back door, Lu Changzheng naturally attracted a lot of fire.

They were all pioneers and had their own pride. Most of them looked down on this kind of back door behavior. Moreover, they had eaten, lived and trained with the 100 eliminated people for several months, so naturally they had feelings for them. They

would rather give this quota to an outsider than to those people, and some people were very indignant.

Therefore, at the beginning, Lu Changzheng's life was quite difficult.

Not to mention being targeted, he was a person who had been fighting on land for many years and was not particularly good at fighting on the water.

But he was the kind of person who was not afraid of the more difficult it was and wanted to conquer it.

From being in the last few at the beginning to being in the top few now, it only took Lu Changzheng three months.

His comrades' views on him also changed from disdain at the beginning to admiration.

Now, the second training has ended, and after that there will be a three-day assessment. After the assessment, it will be decided who will go and who will stay.

The last day is an underwater lurking combat assessment.

It requires both lurking and combat. Not only do you need to hide well and not be discovered, but you also need to secretly look for opponents and eliminate them until the last 50 are left.

This time is not like the future, with all kinds of high-tech equipment, and the competition is all about physical fitness and hard work.

Each of these scouts only carried a small bottle of oxygen, a dagger, and a flare gun, which they used to call for help when in danger, or to let the ship pick them up when they were eliminated.

On the day of the assessment, the warship pulled the 101 scouts to the designated sea area, and then threw one at a distance.

After Lu Changzheng went into the water, he was not in a hurry to find other people, but first hid on a reef to let others consume a wave before he took action.

Because of the limited oxygen, Lu Changzheng held a hollow straw in his mouth to breathe. This straw was prepared when he was on the island. The rules of the assessment did not say that these things could not be prepared.

Lu Changzheng lurked motionlessly underwater for several hours. During this time, several people passed by and did not find him.

There was only one loser who was tired from swimming and wanted to see if there were any reefs exposed above the water so that he could lean on

them to rest for a while. As a result, he was defeated by Lu Changzheng before he got close. The loser didn't notice Lu Changzheng until he was defeated. His expression was really colorful. Lu Changzheng ignored him and just made a gesture to him, asking him to swim farther and then fire the signal gun.

When the time was almost up, Lu Changzheng took action, swam out, and successfully defeated three opponents.

Just as he was looking for the fourth one, the sound of a warship's broadcast came from the sea, saying that the assessment was over and asked the remaining people to return to the warship.

In the end, Lu Changzheng defeated 4 opponents and won the third place in this assessment. The overall assessment score was second place, and he successfully entered the next round.

After returning to the island, the young men who had been trained on the island for three months packed up their things and prepared to return to their original units.

Some were happy, some were disappointed, but everyone wished and encouraged each other.

Lu Changzheng was packing up when one of the instructors in charge of training came over and called Lu Changzheng, saying that the leader was looking for him. When

Lu Changzheng went over, the leader said, "Comrade Lu Changzheng, the military region sent a telegram saying that your wife and children have arrived safely, so you can rest assured."

"What?" Lu Changzheng was confused. How could his wife arrive safely when he hadn't even completed the formalities of accompanying the army.

"Oh, more than a month ago, the military district also sent a telegram saying that your wife would come to join the army in advance. I didn't let you know because I was afraid that it would affect your training."

The chief also admired Lu Changzheng very much. He thought at first that he was a relative and didn't want him to come, but since the new chief gave the order himself, he had no choice but to obey.

Then he watched Lu Changzheng gritting his teeth and climbing up step by step from the bottom. He saw him several times when others were resting, he was alone silently repeating monotonous and boring training, just to catch up with everyone as soon as possible.

He admired this kind of perseverant, calm and hardworking young man, and didn't want him to be eliminated in the end, so he suppressed the news.

Lu Changzheng: ...

He won't have to kneel on the washboard when he goes back this time, right?

At the same time, he was a little anxious. His wife came to join the army without waiting for his notice. What happened?

*****

After settling down, on the 16th, Su Mo visited Zhang Zhen again. Seeing that the old man was like a fish in water in the library and his spirits were much better than before, she knew that the old man really liked this job, so she was relieved.

In the next two days, Su Mo took Lu Xiaolan and the two children to stroll around Guangzhou.

First, they visited the landmark of Guangzhou - Guangzhou Hotel.

Guangzhou Hotel was completed and opened in April 1968. The main building has 27 floors and is 86.51 meters high. It was the tallest building in the country at that time and the largest hotel in the country at that time. It was mainly used to entertain foreign guests and had more than 300 guest rooms.

After seeing this, Lu Xiaolan was stunned. She asked Su Mo to take a picture quickly, develop the photos, and send them back to her parents to open their eyes.

Then, they went shopping in the department stores in Guangzhou and bought a lot of things for the family.

Finally, they went to visit some scenic spots in Guangzhou.

On this day, when they came back from shopping, they saw Lu Changzheng sitting at the door of the communication room with his luggage.

Seeing them, Lu Changzheng stood up with a brilliant smile.

It's just that he had been training on the island for several months, and he was tanned. This smile, showing a mouthful of white teeth, looked really... a little silly.

"Wife, I'm back."

Lu Xiaolan exclaimed, "Oh my God! Third brother, how did you become like this?"

Lele looked at Lu Changzheng, then asked Su Mo, "Mom, who is that?"

"This is Dad." Su Mo explained.

Lele wrinkled her nose and said, "Ugly!"

As soon as Lu Changzheng approached, he heard his son say that he was ugly, and he was instantly amused.

This bastard! How dare he say he was ugly!
