Chapter 175 The End

"Do you know how long it takes to walk through twenty kilometers of forest swamps?"

Facing Lu Nan's question, the other three just laughed and did not reply.

The answer has been placed in front of the four of them. Twenty kilometers of forest swamps require fifteen hours of walking, averaging one kilometer per hour. Even for a disabled person, a distance of more than one kilometer in one hour is still far away.

It was out of reach, but almost all four of them were injured.

Lu Nan, who was in better condition, was carrying Geng Jihui on his back, while Lin Li was walking in front as the trailblazer. Hu Dabao could only take care of himself.

It's the last day of the competition, and both the contestants and the defenders are in the heat of battle, and may be at the end.

The four of them supported each other and walked out of the forest tremblingly.

At the end point less than 500 meters ahead, the four of them looked up.

The finish line was full of people, and the warning tapes on both sides were crowded with reporters and media taking pictures. Countless people were looking forward to it. In the open space at the finish line, two flags were flying high, indicating that two teams had reached the finish line.

Teams that fail to pass the competition will not be able to raise the flag.

There happened to be a flag that belonged to the Chinese delegation. It didn’t take much to figure out that the second team had finished the race and reached the finish line.

Lu Nan murmured in a low voice: "It has been difficult for me to understand what honor is since I was a child, especially since my father taught that fighting for honor is a very stupid thing, and often used my uncle as a teaching material.

At the end of the war, my second uncle dragged his body back to his hometown without any condolences or compensation, and all he had was a medal. His only valuable item was a medal, and that was almost all he had."

Geng Jihui stubbornly left Lu Nan's back and chose to cross the finish line with his own steps.

He limped, almost hopping on one leg: "I rarely see my father. The last time I saw him was in the funeral parlor. He left me nothing, but he left everything."

Hu Dabao: "My father is a farmer."

Lin Li smiled with relief: "My father has nothing to say. He has already entered Malipo."

Instantly, the three of them looked sideways at Lin Li.

They were in a mess and their clothes were ragged, not even enough to be called military uniforms. Fortunately, the military emblems on their hats were still there, and the four of them began to move forward slowly, getting closer and closer to the finish line.

Five hundred meters.

Four hundred meters.

Three hundred meters.

Two hundred meters.

One hundred meters.

Thirty meters.

Twenty meters.

five meters.

Taking the last step, the crowd around him burst into cheers.

Amidst the cheers, Lu Nan looked back in astonishment at the forest that he would never forget. By walking on this road, it seemed that he had suffered all the hardships he deserved in his life and suffered all the sins he deserved.

Everywhere he looked, his vision was slowly eroded by darkness. Lu Nan smiled and fell to the ground.

Geng Jihui lay down and shook Lu Nan, his face full of worry.

Lin Li said: "Don't disturb him, he is too tired."

"He is very tired, more tired than us." Hu Dabao also said.

So, Geng Jihui no longer called Lu Nan, but took out a photo from his arms and gently put it in Lu Nan's pocket. He no longer needed the photo because it was where his father could see it.

This is a short road of honor that brings together military personnel from various countries.

"We said we will live and die together, and he paid special attention to this sentence," Geng Jihui said.

Soon a medical team carried Lu Nan onto a stretcher and sent him away for treatment.

Lin Li straightened his dirty and torn military cap, and the other two people also stood at attention. The three of them raised their arms to salute Lu Nan, who was sent for treatment, and watched him disappear from sight.

"We also said it." Lin Li said.

Geng Jihui nodded: "On this land."

"No."

Hu Dabao said in a melodious tone: "It was when I was sworn in to join the army."

"indeed."

——

Capital Airport.

At the exit of the airport, soldiers walked out in neat lines, and the queue was meticulous.

There were many people waiting for their relatives and friends to show up at the airport pick-up gate. They were very confused about the soldiers who appeared at the foreign exit. The team of soldiers quickly disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people.

They don't know why these soldiers are here, they don't know what they have done, and they don't know where they are going to arrive.

It's okay if they don't know. They just need to welcome their relatives and friends, wash away their dust, and enjoy everything peace brings to them in this land.

Lu Nan carried his suitcase and lined up to get on a bus.

Standing on the roadside, Lu Nan looked back at the crowded airport, turned around and walked onto the bus.

Someone will hold a celebration banquet and welcome ceremony for them, and senior leaders will attend. They will shake hands with each participating team member and accompanying staff, congratulate them, award them with medals, and take a group photo.

This competition was a resounding victory. If the rankings obtained by the host team are excluded, the delegation occupied the top spot among foreign teams.

After lingering for a few days, the delegation held a final celebration dinner. Tomorrow everyone will return to their respective units.

There were no high-level visitors or interruptions to the dinner this time. The senior colonel who led the team took off his military uniform, pulled off his tie, and drank with everyone. He didn't care about his status, and even poured wine for Lu Nan himself and made a toast.

Because Lu Nan was impressed by him, even though he was not satisfied with the first meeting.

The staff of the delegation drank a lot, and the eight participating team members actually forgot how to relax when faced with this moment when they should relax. Maybe it was drinking, maybe tasting this table of expensive dishes, maybe hugging each other and counting.

Yue's comrade.

Yuan Lang came over with a wine glass, changed seats with Lin Li next to him, and filled up Lu Nan's empty glass, causing beer foam to overflow the rim of the glass.

This time, the team he led won the first place among the foreign troops, while the other team came in second place. If there had not been a fight with the bald eagles that resulted in injuries, the number one medal recipient among the foreign troops would have changed, and it would not have changed.

It's that red flag.

This is enough, and Lu Nan is very satisfied with the current situation.

"You should be promoted to military rank, and you never think about yourself, you should think about yourself."

Lu Nan raised his glass: "Someone has to contribute, so why can't it be me?"

Yuan Lang's eyes showed a look of pity for talent: "You are right, so I have always envied people like you. A lieutenant colonel envying a soldier would make people laugh if he said it, but I am very envious."

"The mainstream in society now is egoism. No one talks about dedication, but the army cannot talk about it. What I have worked hard and fought for are just words from a veteran, who said that he should work hard and dedicate himself to the army."

Lu Nan smiled lightly: "Now, I think I can barely meet his expectations."

Yuan Lang became curious: "Who is it?"

"A veteran who is only three points away from Qingbei."

"Fortunately, we missed by three points." Yuan Lang said fearfully.

Lu Nan couldn't even laugh or cry, so he could only pick up the wine glass and drink it all in one gulp.
