I have to say that the map given by Lao Zhutou and the others was of great help to Hu Biao and the others.
Although relying on such a map, the road conditions along the way were somewhat difficult to navigate. Bushes and branches hung many people's cotton coats in tatters, exposing the cotton inside.
But along the way, they didn't encounter any Japanese.
You must know that in today's Northeastern land, there are a large number of Japanese reclamation groups scattered around. These people can basically be regarded as the semi-military organization of the Japanese.
After they really encountered each other, Hu Biao and the others were not afraid of these semi-military organizations in a fight.
But if his whereabouts are exposed, the Japanese soldiers who will follow him will be a fatal problem.
In the current situation where they were very exhausted, no one in the Zhongzhou team was willing to fight to the death with the Japanese Kwantung Army again.
Of course! Xu Feng, Xiling and others also played a big role.
Because there are not a few of them who constantly use the stars in the sky and the sun lines of the trees to identify the direction, and adjust the direction from time to time, maybe they will get lost in the old forest...
The group of people trekked in the old forest for about three or four hours, and reached the point when the sky turned white.
To be honest, they had only advanced less than ten kilometers.
But at this point, even Hu Biao and the other four people with bloodline bonuses couldn't bear it anymore. Fei Falcon, Qingshan and the others were about to collapse completely.
Fortunately, they found a foothold hidden in the old forest based on the description on the map.
Although such a foothold was just a cave without any animal life, such a cave with an area of approximately 70 to 80 square meters almost moved the tired and hungry people to tears.
Warm environment, hot water, food, just the thought of these few things made many people in the team so moved that they almost cried.
Indeed! The weather and hardships in the old forests of Northeast China are beyond the imagination of ordinary people who have not experienced all this.
Even before entering the woods, they had been prepared as much as possible.
The whole body was wrapped tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.
The result? Under the blowing of the cold wind, they felt that the last bit of heat on their bodies was blown away by the cold wind, and a full circle of ice flowers formed around their eyes.
Therefore, even along the way, everyone ate some chocolate bars and other high-calorie foods during short breaks to replenish their energy.
And at the critical moment, he poured a mouthful of alcohol mixed with snow into his mouth.
But compared with the huge consumption along the way and the loss of temperature in the strong wind; the above-mentioned heat supplement is really only a drop in the bucket.
It was just when Hu Biao and others wanted to hide in the cave immediately, light up the fire, and start cooking the large pot of broth and compressed biscuit paste.
Suddenly, Xu Feng put forward his own opinion while trying to shout:
"Don't go into the cave so quickly. If you don't want to leave severe frostbite, then just follow my method.
Don't be afraid of the cold. First rub the snow on your body on your body. The colder it is, the more you rub it on your body. Don't stop until the blood in those parts starts flowing. Otherwise, believe it or not, your toes will freeze off."
The above experience was naturally learned by Xu Feng, an enthusiast of wild survival, from relevant Internet and video knowledge.
So what! Although this is his first time in the Northeast and he has not personally experienced this kind of environment, it does not prevent him from hoarding knowledge first so that he can put it to good use in the future.
Didn't this come in handy in this mission?
After hearing such a somewhat mysterious statement, Hu Biao had no time to raise objections. Yuan Sin and Xi Ling were two natives of the Northeast.
As well as the woman Dayang Ma Bai Xiang, they all nodded in agreement.
In fact, they had heard some of the above-mentioned cold-resistant sayings before, but because they didn't react immediately, they almost forgot and got into big trouble.
After seeing so many people agreeing, Hu Biao and the others could only grit their teeth and follow the instructions; the previous winter swimming proved that Xu Feng's knowledge was relatively reliable...
In the following period, everyone used cold snow cubes to rub their faces, hands, and feet.
Not to mention, after such scrubbing and washing, Hu Biao and the others felt that the toes and other parts of their bodies that had been frozen to the point of almost losing feeling were now warm again.
Of course, this method of rubbing with snow is not a long-term solution, it is just an emergency solution.
The more important way is to go to the cave and raise a fire to warm your body and dry out your insoles and socks at the same time.
As a result, they encountered problems again during this link.
It was in a cave here, and they found no dry firewood or thatch, let alone any food reserves.
The only thing they found that was left behind by Lao Zhutou and the others was a big pot.
It was still a cauldron with a fist missing from the side.
As for the food problem, that is relatively easy to solve; besides, it is said that they are in the old forest now, and firewood can be said to be everywhere.
The problem is that when Hu Biao and others were around, they found the branches that had been cut down, and they were all wet and full of moisture.
Holding a match, it was impossible to light it.
Damn it! You can’t use their clothes as a kind of fire starter, right?
Or maybe pour the alcohol on the wet wood and then light it on fire?
Such idiotic methods are really a bad idea in the current situation where Hu Biao and the others are too little no matter how much clothing and warmth they have on them.
But as the saying goes, those who don’t know how to do it are not difficult to do it. Such a difficult problem was easily solved by Xu Feng.
He went out with two natives, Yuan Sin and Xiling, and also borrowed AT's 'Tiger Roaring Knife·Zan', which was a large blade.
At most 10 minutes later, while Hu Biao was still worrying in front of a cold fire, Xu Feng and others came back with many suitable fire starters.
It was in the arms of the three of them that they held back many long strips of birch bark.
It is said that these birch barks are all peeled off from living birch trees using AT's big blade. It is said that peeling bark with that thing is fast and good.
Finally, they used matches to ignite the birch bark, and then ignited some firewood full of water, so that a fire representing warmth rose in the cave.
Even though the firewood was too moist during the period, choking smoke rose during the burning.
However, under the light of a big fire, everyone relaxed their spirits that had been tense all night.
As for the problems that will be exposed when the smoke rises, there is no need to worry.
Because behind the cave, there is a small hole that no one can get into. I don’t know where this small hole leads, but as long as the wind outside the cave comes in, it will basically blow the thick smoke into the unknown unknown part of the cave.
Went deep...
At such a critical moment, it was naturally time to use their canned food and other military rations.
Although a large pot in the cave was missing a large mouth, it did not affect Hu Biao and the others from getting busy with the steaming food.
The clean snow cubes quickly melted in the pot and started to boil under the heat of high fire.
Just a few handfuls of the lard cooked by Hu Biao himself were added to it.
In addition to these, there are also canned braised pork, elbow meat, beef, lunch meat, and some dehydrated vegetables that are portable.
Finally, after these guys drank the oily broth while it was hot, everyone had some healthy blushes on their faces.
After nibbling one or two more compressed biscuits, they felt like they were completely alive.
During such a period, these guys took off their shoes and socks and roasted their soles and shoes and socks by the fire, which inevitably caused a large amount of smoke with a strong smell to rise in the cave.
However, it still did not affect their appetite at all.
The broken pot boiled three pots of broth in a row, and these people were satisfied and put down the empty cans and wooden bowls in their hands.
