King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 654 - 623 A Sudden Blow_2

'Chameleon' watched the members of Signal Flag Squad leave and then glanced at 'Radar' with some unease, saying, "Did we miss something?"

'Radar' shook his head and replied, "If the old squad leader didn't remind us, that means we didn't miss any crucial information."

As he spoke, 'Radar' touched his ear and said, "But I did hear some guys from P·B discussing giving us some trouble on the way. They probably heard it too, and that's why they chose to go through the desert.

Based on my experience, although taking the desert route means 15 kilometers less, the speed definitely wouldn't be as fast as traveling on the highway.

There are advantages to both sides…"

'Chameleon' and his team were still rookies, and after a moment of silence, he shouldered his heavy backpack, tightened the straps firmly, and then pressed his radio, saying, "Testing the radio, if there are no issues, we will depart…

Forced march of 85 kilometers, begin…"

When Rabbit Squad took to the highway at a jogging pace, they quickly caught up with the people who had set off before them.

The record of 72.5 kilometers in 14 hours refers to a large troop carrying a small amount of heavy firepower, on dirt roads and mountain paths that date back decades.

A special forces team marching 85 kilometers in 16 hours, especially on the highway, was really just about enduring some hardship.

'Chameleon' and his comrades, not needing night vision, advanced quickly by running under starlight and caught up with the first echelon in no time.

They were all participating in the level 10 assessment, so their pace was relatively fast.

About 2 hours later, 'Chameleon' and his team surpassed most of the people.

The ones who could keep up with their pace were a squad of about twenty Colombians and another team that looked like they were from South America, closely resembling the Colombians.

After running at the same pace for another hour, 'Chameleon' gradually slowed down, turning the jog into a brisk walk.

As the pace slowed, 'Chameleon' looked back at the Colombian team about 40 meters behind him, and said with a sigh out of breath, "We need to step it up; things aren't as simple as we thought."

The only woman, 'Dandelion', after the team slowed down, gradually adjusted her breathing and pace, then glanced at her electronic watch and said, "It's been three hours and twenty-five minutes since we started; we have covered a total of 24.3 kilometers."

While adjusting her backpack straps with some effort and taking a small sip of water through a straw, 'Dandelion' added, "Our pace per ten kilometers hasn't reached the expected standard."

'Bai Xiong', carrying the heaviest load and body weight, was already struggling and said, shaking his head in resignation, "This is too rushed, there are still more than fifty kilometers to go. We need to slow down a bit, otherwise we'll be exhausted before reaching the destination."

As the strong man looked back at the doggedly persistent Colombians trailing them, he said helplessly, "Where did all these strong competitors come from? Are the Colombian 'Cavalry Trooper' that formidable?"

'Mountain Demon', the only Han Chinese in the team, heard 'Bai Xiong's complaint and lifting his head, he said, "Don't stop, endure another five kilometers, then we'll test their mettle."

The deputy commander 'Radar', seeing that 'Bai Xiong' wanted to complain further, shook his head and declared, "No more talking, after another five kilometers, we'll slow down.

They're carrying lighter loads than us, but if we can't even outpace the Colombians, then we might as well jump into a river."

.........

A few hundred meters away from the highway in the desert, Joe Ga leaned against the engine of a Warrior leading head and watched the images relayed from an Antar drone…

In the footage, 'Rabbit Squad,' who had served as the vanguard, began to speed up again a few minutes after slowing down.

To be honest, Joe Ga was quite impressed with them. This group was fully equipped, and knowing their gear, Joe Ga understood they were carrying at least 35 kilograms each,

The Colombians closing in from behind, guided by their elder 'Bullhorn,' significantly lightened their loads, making sure they wouldn't carry more than 20 kilograms.

'Rabbit Squad,' after already running 25 kilometers, seemed as though they could continue for a while. Whether this was incredibly impressive or not, Joe Ga couldn't say for certain, since he had Karman at his side, who seemed like he would never get tired.

After every run with the old man, Joe Ga felt like he was just an amateur.

Just as Joe Ga was about to ask for Karman's opinion, the old Bull with them slammed his palm and, looking at Solon next to him, said, "These kids are too hasty…

There's still a long way to go. Why are they running so fast?"

Solon said nonchalantly, "Young people, isn't it normal for them to be a bit competitive?

Let them try it out. The more fiercely they charge now, the harder it will be later. It's meaningful to solve problems in that state."

Joe Ga was going to ask Karman for his thoughts, but the old man lost interest in 'Rabbit Squad' once he knew they were just commissioned students and didn't even bother to follow them…

Seeing Karman's lack of interest, Joe Ga turned to the old Bull, asking curiously, "Old Bull, these guys have impressive stamina, I think they're not any worse than you. Why are you so agitated?"

The old Bull shook his head and replied, "Endurance has never been a problem for soldiers from China…

Do you know 'Snow Leopard'?

Their physical fitness tests include carrying out 200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, 100 squats, and lifting a 200-pound barbell 200 times, plus a 10-kilometer march with a 35-kilogram load, all within 90 minutes.

These kids are the cream of the crop, typically reducing the time to 80 minutes.

It's not surprising to me that they can run 30 kilometers in 4 hours, but after all, they are still human. If they don't manage their energy properly, they will suffer later on.

Damn it, being competitive without thinking. They forget everything I say in an instant. Let them have a taste of hardship later."

Karman was indifferent to Old Bull's attitude. He pulled Joe Ga's attention to a third echelon on the computer screen and said, "Boss, these are the real contenders; they have been holding back their pace."

On hearing that, Joe Ga looked through their profiles and nodded, saying, "Bolivian Special Forces personnel, introduced by 'Xiao Luo' from Team C, they should be somewhat capable."

Karman nodded slightly and said, "We'll know if they're up to scratch when we test them…"

As he spoke, the old man operated the communicator and instructed, "Elephant, give them a little surprise…"

No sooner had Karman finished speaking than mortars boomed across the desert wilderness…

'Chameleon,' who had been in the lead, suddenly changed color, urging his comrades to dash towards the base of the road on the left…

"Mortar… get down…"

"Boom, boom, boom..."
