The first assessment item in the afternoon was the Single Double Bar.
This was Cheng Luo’s forte.
But Yue Ming was not bad either.
The outstanding score for this assessment needed to be above 85 points. Cheng Luo had steadily scored full marks. When Zhao Jing recorded this score, she gritted her teeth.
On the high platform, Chu Yue watched Cheng Luo participate in this assessment coldly. She turned her head and instructed the man beside her, “The next segment is the five-kilometer cross-country. Go and arrange it.”
Fang Mo was stunned for a moment, as if he was unwilling.
Chu Yue cast him a dissatisfied glance before he reluctantly went to do what Chu Yue had instructed him to do in advance.
The next assessment would require all soldiers to carry machine guns, grenades, water bottles filled with water, and backpacks filled with first-aid medicine. They would carry a total of 15 catties and run five kilometers on dirt roads.
This assessment was one of the most difficult things to complete.
Every year, in the middle of this assessment, there would be many people who fainted and vomited because they had carried too much weight and exhausted their strength. Therefore, there would always be a few military doctors and stretchers prepared in advance beside the examination hall in case of emergencies.
What was even harder than running the entire distance was that the final result of this assessment would not take into account, the results of the person who used the fastest time. Instead, it would take the team’s slowest speed as the final result.
Therefore, this required everyone to be united and help one another, instead of being far ahead.
Before the assessment began, the examiners would personally distribute the weighted equipment that they had to carry for the examination. The guns and ammunition were all real. If they were not careful, they would be in great danger.
Cheng Luo remembered Shi Man’s reminder, so the moment she received the items, she carefully checked every weapon and equipment to ensure that there was nothing wrong with them before carrying them on her back according to the rules.
The assessment soon began. Following the whistle, everyone set off together.
In the beginning, they could still advance at a uniform speed. However, at this moment, the sun was hot, and they were wearing thick and tight military uniforms. Soon, someone was so affected by the heat that he could not breathe.
If one person stopped, the others could not leave him behind.
Yue Ming turned back from the front of the team with a cold expression and scolded in a low voice, “Don’t stop! Don’t affect everyone’s results!”
The man bent down and placed his hands on his knees. He kept shaking his sweating head. “I can’t take it anymore. 1 feel like I’m going to have a heatstroke. Run. Don’t worry about me.”
“If you’re carried off the stage by the military doctor halfway, your results will be canceled. If you insist on dragging us down, leave the assessment yourself. Don’t affect others.”
Yue Ming’s words were very cold, but he also took care of the collective interests.
It was impossible for all of them to fail the assessment because of one person.
The man also knew the seriousness of the problem. He tried his best to follow behind for a while, but in the end, he resigned himself to fate and fell to the ground. Soon, he was carried away by the military doctor who rushed over.
The assessment was still ongoing.
The hot sun above their heads shone on everyone’s faces, and the weight on their bodies seemed to be soaked in sweat, becoming heavier.
There were also people in the female soldiers’ team who could not hold on.
Cheng Luo returned to ask about her health.
The short-haired girl panted and waved her hand. “Luoluo, this assessment is too important to you. 1 don’t want to drag you down. Hurry up and leave with the other students. Don’t worry about me.”
“How can we do that?”
One of the aspects of the five-kilometer cross-country assessment was teamwork. Moreover, Cheng Luo did not want her classmate to give up an assessment for her sake.
However, the short-haired girl really couldn’t run anymore. Two kilometers was already her limit.
She shook her head desperately and felt dizzy. “I can’t take it anymore. Run quickly. I’ll get the military doctor to bring me back first.”
Cheng Luo was worried. She waited until the military doctor carried her away before running forward again and catching up to the main group in front.
Chu Yue, who was standing at a high place, curled her lips mockingly.
“Idiot.”
Although this assessment emphasized teamwork, it did not mean that the students had to be kind. They had to give up when it was time. This was the focus of this assessment.
In Chu Yue’s eyes, Cheng Luo’s actions just now were simply wasting time!
The competition had already reached the middle.
At this moment, a group of exhausted students ran across the sandy dirt road. The female soldiers could still smell the fragrance.
Cheng Luo felt that the air around her was a little sweet.
She sniffed slightly and realized that the smell actually came from her!
Before she could find out what was emitting the smell, she heard a sudden exclamation from the crowd. Right on the heels of that, a dense swarm of bees suddenly surrounded her.
“Shit!”
Before Cheng Luo could react, she subconsciously grabbed a girl beside her and quickly crawled to the ground. She tried her best to cover her exposed skin with her hat and sleeve, waiting for the bees to leave.
However, things did not go as planned. These bees seemed to have smelled something they liked and kept circling above Cheng Luo’s head, unwilling to fly away.
Cheng Luo’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately thought of something and gently reached into her backpack. To her surprise, she touched something sticky..
