Xiao Jiu was relieved that this wasn't an information-based combat training exercise, so there was no need to worry about cameras everywhere in the woods.
She found a bush, crawled inside to enter the space, and changed into a clean, thickened sanitary pad.
I also used sanitary napkins as insoles, which not only prevented blisters but also absorbed sweat and reduced fatigue.
The weight on my body didn't lessen at all, and I never thought of using the space to cheat. I remained the same as before.
This training mainly focuses on field topography. A set of coordinates is provided, and arriving at the destination within a specified time is considered passing; otherwise, the participant is eliminated.
Those who are eliminated in three consecutive subjects will undergo hellish, repetitive training.
The top ten finishers in each round will enjoy a barbecue feast.
Every two hours, she had to go into the space to change her sanitary pad, especially since her flow had been heavy these past two days.
Not changing your clothes for a long time can easily lead to gynecological diseases, especially when the weather is not cooperating. Halfway through the day's task, a light drizzle started to fall.
In such harsh weather, she was even faster, and occasionally had to be wary of her teammates, because it was still an individual competition.
You shouldn't drink too much water at once. You're only given one pot of water. When you drink, you should moisten your throat and take a small sip. Drinking large gulps of water means you'll sweat more. The more you drink, the thirstier you become, and the more you drink, the thirstier you get. Excessive sweating can easily lead to exhaustion, which is counterproductive.
Maintain a steady pace and avoid sudden changes in speed to prevent excessive fatigue caused by chasing.
Xiao Jiu considered himself to be in pretty good physical condition, but even with a military cap, a gun, a belt, and a backpack on his back, he still felt his legs go weak, he felt dizzy and nauseous, and he was sweating profusely. When he leaned against a tree trunk to rest, he was struck by a dizzying sensation and almost passed out.
Just as she collapsed to the ground, Yuan Yuan appeared out of nowhere.
"Jiu'er, how are you? Are you experiencing low blood sugar? You only ate a little this morning, did you bring any sugar with you?"
Xiao Jiu was lying there, and she could hear Yuan Yuan calling her anxiously. After confirming that she was still conscious, Yuan Yuan took out some candy from her pocket and fed it to her.
"No, it's nothing. Don't worry about me. You go ahead and do your thing. I'll just sit here and rest for a bit. It's just low blood sugar."
"I don't think your condition is as simple as just low blood sugar. You're also bleeding, which will only make you feel more tired. Let me carry you!"
Xiao Jiu struggled to sit up: "It's not that serious. You should leave. I have special circumstances, but you don't."
Let's get past you first, so we don't both fail. I'll catch up.
Urged on by Xiao Jiu, Yuan Yuan left, looking back every few steps. It took her about ten minutes to feel normal again after she left.
However, she felt increasingly tired, so she took out a few rock sugars, threw them into the kettle, and drank a few sips.
He unbuttoned his collar, applied mentholatum to his temples, popped a chocolate into his mouth, and struggled to his feet before slowly walking toward his destination.
As the sun was setting, Xiao Jiu finally staggered to the destination. Forget about making the top ten; she'd better just barely scrape by.
When they arrived at the camp, her face was deathly pale. When Yuan Yuan ran over and hugged her, she couldn't hold on and fainted.
"What happened?" Xiao Jiu's grades speak for themselves. Although she is the youngest, her physical training is not too bad.
Upon seeing someone faint, the instructors immediately came over and called for the medics. Yuan Yuan then called for the female doctor among them.
"Teacher Cai, please take a look at Taozi. She has low blood sugar, and these days are a special period."
Upon hearing about the special period, everyone understood, including the male instructors who had trained so many female soldiers.
"You guys, go carry the stretcher," two male classmates immediately came, carried Xiao Jiu onto the stretcher, and took him to the medical tent to rest.
When Xiao Jiu woke up, it was completely dark outside. Inside the medical tent, a dim candlelight was lit, and a female nurse was watching over her, frequently dozing off.
She glanced at her watch; it was already eight o'clock. It sounded quite lively outside. There was no one on the beds around her; the only people in the tent were her nurse.
Hearing her get out of bed, the nurse suddenly woke up: "Oh, you're awake? How are you? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Xiao Jiu then remembered something and quickly looked down at herself: "Your roommate already changed you once!"
"Huh?" Xiao Jiu's face turned bright red. "Who, who is it?" She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
"Hey Yuan, don't be shy. We're all girls here, what are you afraid of? It's lively outside, do you want to go get something to eat?"
"I'm fine now, you go out and have some fun, I need to use the restroom first."
There was a temporary toilet set up behind the tent. Xiao Jiu went in and changed to another one before finding a place to wash his hands and drink a bowl of hot porridge.
When Yuan Yuan came in, she had already made the bed and was preparing to leave.
"You're finally awake! You scared me to death today, you know? You've always been so healthy, this is the first time you've needed someone to take care of you."
Xiao Jiu coughed awkwardly, "Next time, next time please don't change it for me, it's too embarrassing."
"If you don't exchange it, there will be a bloodbath. You're not just anyone, so why are you being so polite with me? Here, this is for you, eat it quickly."
Only then did they notice that Yuan Yuan was carrying a military green rectangular lunchbox, with vegetables on top, rice porridge on the bottom, and two steamed buns.
Xiao Jiu ate a steamed bun and drank some soup. "I can't eat anymore, I don't have much of an appetite. You can eat the rest."
"Here, an extra meal for the patient." After she finished eating, he handed her an egg and, without waiting for her to refuse, cleared away the dishes.
"Eat quickly, then we can go have some fun." But to everyone's surprise, Xiao Jiu just lay down there and said, "I don't want to move at all."
"What are you going to do tomorrow? We have to go into the water tomorrow."
Xiao Jiu was taken aback. "Water? What kind of water?"
"Who knows? It's either lake water or river water. They've hidden clues in the river. We need to find them first before we can continue."
Yuanyuan wanted her to take a day off, but Xiaojiu felt that the amount of fluid she ate at night had already decreased, and tomorrow would be the third day, so it might get better.
He stubbornly refused her offer.
She slept soundly that night. The next day, after receiving her mission, the instructor called her over.
"Don't try to tough it out. If you really can't hold on, you can ask for help."
Xiao Jiu nodded without saying anything, then took the distributed military map and compass and parted ways with the others.
Because everyone is placed in a different place, naturally the time when they see the river will also be different.
The river water was relatively clean back then, and the depth was over two meters. It was difficult to get clues without going into the water!
Not only do they have to go into the water, but they also have to hold their breath and search underwater with their eyes open without any tools to assist them.
After taking off my shoes and any extra gear, the moment I stepped into the water, I felt a chill run down my spine, as if I had been hit by ice water.
Instinctively, gripping the dagger in his right hand, he first searched the shallow water, and only after finding nothing did he float towards the deeper water...
