On the way, Conway briefly told her about the situation in the forest. It traverses 300 kilometers from the starting point to the end. The most difficult sections are concentrated between 150 kilometers and 225 kilometers, which are full of swamps, quicksands and poisonous areas.
There is also a large lake in Miasma Forest, and they need to detour to the eastern peak and cross over.
Conway roughly calculated that for the entire 300-kilometer journey plus the roundabout miles over the mountains, they would need to walk nearly 200 kilometers more. In this way, their total journey would reach 500 kilometers.
500 kilometers.
In the past, normal long-distance training with heavy loads would have required eight days and eight nights of walking without rest. However, the training was on a flat road, but here it was a primitive forest with no sunlight or even a road.
Conway took out a compass to check the direction, and led Gu Mengmeng towards the depths of the forest.
At this time, Gu Mengmeng felt that she was too fragile.
Following Conway, who was carrying a weight of nearly 40 kilograms, she started to out of breath after walking only a few kilometers with only a travel bag. But she gritted her teeth and endured it. Several times when Conway turned around and asked her if she needed a rest, she
Immediately put on a relaxed look and say no.
The military boots under her feet were like iron lumps filled with lead. Her steps were heavy but she had to move forward mechanically. Her heels hurt so much that she thought she must have blisters. But she did not dare to stop for a moment. Whenever she was physiological,
When she was about to reach the limit, she thought that the two people on the other side must be ahead of them, so she gritted her teeth and persisted.
As they approached a thick patch of grass, Conway suddenly stopped slashing away dead branches with his field knife.
He held Gu Mengmeng's hand and motioned her not to move.
Gently pushing aside the grass blades blocking the view in front of them, five meters away from them, a two-thick flower snake stood upright and spit out red snake tongue at a black country mouse.
Conway took out a small knife and quickly aimed it seven inches from the snake's head. He raised the knife and brought it down. After a flash of cold light, the flower snake was nailed to the ground. What's exaggerated is that he took out another one like a magic trick.
The small and exquisite slingshot made another muffled sound, and the fat country mouse was also hit in the head and died.
In just an instant, Gu Mengmeng was stunned as she looked at the corpses of the two animals on the ground.
Conway looked very happy. He walked over and weighed the snake, picked up the mouse, turned to his wife with a smile and said, "I'll give you extra food tonight!"
Gu Mengmeng smiled helplessly.
The organizer must have forgotten to pack food in her backpack. It was the same as Conway's, with compressed biscuits and water bags, and not even a piece of dried meat. If she had known this, she would have distributed the backpack in front of her no matter what.
The officer's face opened and he was ashamed after seeing it. She knew that the other reporters not only had a considerable amount of dried meat, but also sweet rusks and nine water bottles.
"I'm sorry, Conway. I should have checked my backpack in advance." She felt guilty. She originally wanted to give him some energy-increasing food from her better rations, but she didn't expect that she was so careless.
Stirred.
He just touched the dead mouse's hand and stroked her black ponytail exposed outside the helmet, and said with a smile: "Following my husband, how can I still prevent you from eating meat?"
The word "肉" was pronounced very hard, and the other meaning made Gu Mengmeng blush.
She punched him and walked ahead.
In a field environment, they rely on their footsteps and compass to calculate and correct the distance. They take a 10-minute break every two hours and check their equipment. Marching with heavy loads consumes a lot of physical energy, so they have to move forward at a constant speed and not go too fast. Moreover,
You also need to adjust your body's center of gravity according to environmental conditions such as slope.
They walked like this until lunch. The two of them each ate some biscuits in their backpacks and drank some water.
Conway pointed to the flower snake and the country rat hanging on his butt, and said: "Be patient for now, we will eat at night. There are too many rotting leaves here, and it will be dangerous to light a fire."
Gu Mengmeng said she didn't mind.
When the two were resting, she asked Conway where the Yankees had gone? Could they have left a lot of them behind?
He said with a smile that it was impossible. Long-distance raids and field battles depended on abundant physical strength. If too much energy was used up on the first day, the rest of the journey would be very hard.
Special warfare elites like them all have a small radar and database in their hearts. They know how long each distance is and where to rest.
Gu Mengmeng did not forget the purpose of her trip while traveling. Her camera had already taken valuable pictures along the way, including the prey carcasses that Conway had wrapped up and stuffed into his bag.
Before she got up, she was suddenly pinned down by Conway.
He pressed his body down, and the tip of his nose brushed her nose intimately, and the scent of grass mixed with male hormones hit her face.
She thought he was going to kiss her.
When her lips could almost feel his, Kangwei suddenly lowered his body and squatted down, directly holding Gu Mengmeng's ankle with his hand.
He untied his shoelaces and the rope that bound her legs, then looked at her bloody heel with a very serious expression, and looked up at her.
"Why don't you tell me."
It turned out that he didn't want to kiss her.
Gu Mengmeng was greatly embarrassed.
She murmured: "It's okay."
Conway stared at her, then sighed softly, turned around and brought a water bag and new socks. He first soaked the wounds that were stuck together with clean water, and then carefully peeled off the socks.
, he thought she would instinctively cry out in pain, because his team members couldn't help but groan when doing this.
But throughout the whole process, until he had taken care of the blood blister on the back of her foot and wrapped it with clean gauze, Gu Mengmeng didn't make a sound.
He looked at her.
A thin layer of sweat broke out on her fair forehead, and her cheeks were stained with her dirty hands, like a naughty child. Seeing him looking at her intently, Gu Mengmeng sniffed at him
Smile as bright as the sun.
"Your skills are so good, a hundred times better than that guy Gu Jingxi!"
Conway's eyes softened.
He held Gu Mengmeng in his arms, looking into the distance through the dark and obscure jungle, and did not move for a long time.
