In the dark jungle, the sound of insects chirping lingered in my ears.
We gathered by parachute and watched the huge iron bird flying high into the sky, and then quickly disappeared at the other end of the ridge.
Because we knew that we would be more than ten kilometers away from other teams, we didn’t need to be too nervous. We first found all the people in the dark. I, Qin Zhen, Teng Xiao, Lao Zhao (Zhao Xingrui), Zhu Chenchen, Bai Lutan and
Wang Xiaojia, the seven team members, and the instructor Yin Yue who acted as the supervisor, all gathered together.
We squatted down, formed a circle, and then used the map, compass, and reference objects we could see around us to determine our approximate position under the illumination of a strong flashlight.
During this operation, in addition to our personal belongings, we also brought maps, climbing ropes, kettles, compasses, engineer shovels, three days' worth of compressed rations, waterproof lighters, bright flashlights, first aid kits and other wilderness survival equipment in our military backpacks.
In addition to the engineer shovel that can be used for self-defense, the weapon also carries the D80-tiger tooth dagger that is common in the military to protect against snakes, insects and wild beasts. As for the other firearms, these are not available.
After we made sure that the situation was okay in the dark, we started to build a camp under a big tree and waited for the official arrival of the trial at eight o'clock the next day.
All exploratory behavior before this was illegal.
There are instructors supervising this, so you can't fake it.
It is rare to camp in the jungle. The few people next to me seemed very excited, but after the excitement, there was fear. Looking at the dark jungle, the hooting of owls in the distance, and the strange things swaying in the wind
The branches make people feel wary of all vegetation. What they fear most is not the enemy approaching, but the countless snakes and insects hidden in the grass or thorns of this jungle.
Fortunately, they were in the same team as me. As a Gu breeder, and a Gu breeder with golden silkworm Gu, almost no insects and snakes could break into the range of this domineering little guy like Fat Chongzi alone.
.Since I landed, there have been countless bugs and long snakes in the dark corners, crying and silently moving away from me and the golden silkworm Gu in my body.
In about half an hour, we worked together to build a wooden shed.
I found some slightly dry branches and grass blades, threw them on the ground, and asked the team members to wrap themselves in blankets to rest and wait for the official trial tomorrow. I promised Zhu Chenchen and the others that I would watch it for everyone.
, not even half a bug will come to trouble them, just rest assured and recharge your batteries. Tomorrow, we will face a high-intensity forced march and a possible brutal melee.
After getting along with each other for a period of time, everyone knew that I generally don't make random promises, so I slept with my clothes on peacefully.
And I was riding on the branches of a big tree, keeping watch for everyone.
I was stroking the blackened tiger-tooth dagger on my right hand. The 32-centimeter-long dagger was made with refined craftsmanship and tight structure. It was worthy of being a military product. And Yin Yue stood not far from me and asked me, are you not going to sleep tonight?
?I shook my head and said no, I just couldn't sleep. She raised her head, her eyes were bright, she said she was excited?
I said no, but she said it was nervousness? I shook my head again and saw her tangled look, saying it was fear, fear of death.
Yin Yue smiled and said, so you are afraid of death?
I nodded and said yes, I was very afraid of death, so I really didn’t want to die. I always felt that a lot of things would happen in this trial, and I was used to fighting side by side with a familiar brother. No matter what, I
He was always there to help me carry my back, but now that he is suddenly no longer around, I feel empty and unhappy...
Yin Yue said that the brother you are talking about is Mr. Chen’s younger brother, Xiao Keming, right?
I nodded and said that you know. Yin Yue said nonsense with disdain. In August last year, we hurriedly crossed the border and ran to the mountain cave in Myanmar. We also used the magical paper armor horse. It was not because of the little Taoist priest. But come to think of it.
, Boss Chen occupies a high position. Although he is humble on the surface, he has always been arrogant. Not many people often mention him, except for his junior brother. Boss Chen said that his uncle Li Daozi is a legend of the Maoshan Sect, and everyone in the world
I admire him, but if there is anyone in this generation who can surpass him, it is probably his junior brother. It is rare to see such a high evaluation.
I swung my legs and boots wearing thick military trousers down and said that that guy really had a problem in my heart. I thought he was just a deceitful little bastard.
Yin Yue said, do you know who Boss Chen often mentions?
I shook my head and said I don’t know, and then joked that it was me? Something surprising happened, Yin Yue actually nodded and said yes, Mr. Chen is proficient in the emperor’s art "Da Liuren", he said you will definitely be shocked
A person in the world - otherwise he would be so kind to you? But I am surprised, how can you deserve the reputation of Boss Chen with just these few actions?
I felt guilty because of her, so I said forget it. I don't dare to shock the world, and I don't have that fate. I just hope that I can come back alive from this trial.
Yin Yue shook her head, smiled, and said nothing, but looked up at the faint crescent moon on the horizon with me.
There was silence everywhere except for the chirping of insects.
Having said that, there are really a lot of bugs in the jungle. That night, the fat bugs got fatter again.
In the early morning of the next day, the morning sun shone down from the swaying branches and leaves in the woods, shining like gold on everyone's face. The team members who had refreshed themselves beautifully were waiting for Yin Yue's order. We need to arrive at eight o'clock
When the clock strikes, I will set off on time. Before that, the wild fruits, polygonatum and other food that Duoduo and Xiaoyao helped me get have turned into food for these people.
Everyone was extremely satisfied with what I, the temporary captain, had done, and praised me without words.
Almost everyone here can draw talismans, and they also know a little bit about expelling spirits, but not many people have this ability to expel insects. Other teams may be able to prepare insect repellent and snake repellent drugs through herbal medicine, but they are not as good as me.
It works immediately, so this alone is enough to win everyone's trust.
Trust is never blind, but is accumulated bit by bit in all the details.
Before starting the operation, our entire team had been studying the plan discussed yesterday on the map, and decided to surround it from the side of the mountain, go farther away, bypass possible ambush, and not participate in the fiercest confrontation at the beginning. You know, we
There are hundreds of miles of mountain roads to walk, so wasting your energy in the initial fierce battle is really not worth the gain. Moreover, even if you can defeat the opponent, it will easily be missed by other teams and take advantage of it.
If this is really the case, it is too much and the gain outweighs the loss.
Among us, Qin Zhen, a handsome man with a beard, comes from Baise, Guangnan and has relevant experience in jungle marching, while Lao Zhao is also a person who has been in the mountains all year round and knows how to hide himself and find the enemy, so they will take turns as
There are leading soldiers in the vanguard; the two ladies Bai Lutan and Zhu Chenchen are in the middle, and I am also responsible for the support and command in the middle, and Wang Xiaojia and Teng Xiao are responsible for the rear.
This is our formation arrangement when we are marching.
As deputy commander, I thought twice and decided to hand over the role to Wang Xiaojia, who looks thin but is very calm.
As for the instructor Yin Yue, she is an off-site personnel and is outside our team.
This is really an easy thing for her who is young but has rich experience - not to mention, this woman seems to have many precious things and is a rich girl.
Time passes little by little, and the waiting becomes a bit tiring, but we can all control our emotions well and seize the time to rest.
At eight o'clock sharp, Yin Yue nodded towards me, and I clenched my fist vigorously.
Qin Zhen and Lao Zhao walked into the road ahead one step ahead, ten meters apart, and we started walking forward. As mentioned in the previous article, the altitude of Gaoligong Mountain is very different. In Feng Shui, it belongs to big mountains and rivers, and the straight road may be
It is only a few kilometers, but it may take more than ten kilometers or dozens of kilometers to walk down, and the road is very difficult and steep. We have been struggling with this dangerous mountain road from the beginning. In the hot and humid environment, we started
The hard way forward.
Fortunately, due to the choice of route, I didn’t meet anyone in front of me, and I walked quietly for several hours.
However, when we reached about eleven o'clock, Lao Zhao in front suddenly stopped and we all hid ourselves. After a while, Qin Zhen came back and told me that they found traces of human activity in front. According to Lao Zhao's judgment,
, if we go further, we should be able to find the place where another team camped yesterday. What should I do?
I was surprised. I didn’t expect that after making a big detour, I ended up on someone else’s back road. What a coincidence.
The first one who was excited was Zhu Chenchen. She encouraged me to go and have a look. If I met that boy Huang Pengfei, why don’t I deal with him first? - As people from the same province, Zhu Chenchen originally had a relationship with Huang Pengfei that was neither hot nor cold.
However, during the days of the training camp, when Huang Pengfei showed hostility to us, Zhu Chenchen immediately became jealous and began to have endless contempt for that boy.
But when friends around me put their trust in my hands, my first feeling was one of heavy responsibility, not anger.
So I thought about it and asked Lao Zhao and Qin Zhen to go alternately to visit and then return.
The two of them nodded and left. After more than ten minutes, they came back and said that there was indeed a camping spot, but it was already empty. Judging from the situation, they could not have been gone for more than two hours. I nodded and headed to the first destination in my plan.
"Climbing the Ghost Slope", there is only one road in this direction. We must go forward, but we still have to be more careful. Then we went forward and climbed over a small ditch in front. Suddenly there was a movement in the forest. I heard Qin Zhen
Suppressed screams came from the front. I looked up and saw thick smoke billowing in front of me and the shadows of the trees shaking, as if someone was causing trouble.
My heart skipped a beat and I knew I had been ambushed.
