Since the back rub incident, Fang Xiaoyu's attitude towards Shao Xi has become increasingly cold, almost to the point where he would stay away from Shao Xi as long as he could.
But fortunately, Shao Xi was very naive in this regard, so he didn't notice that Fang Xiaoyu's attitude towards him had changed at all.
These days they are still doing the same training as before - cross-country running with weights, shooting training, obstacle course training, combat training, armed swimming, etc.
It wasn't until another week passed that Shao Xi took them to another place
After jumping off the military vehicle one by one, the new recruits felt confused about the surrounding environment.
On another military vehicle, several special forces jumped out, and they were all official special forces members of the Blood Wolf Team.
"All of you, stand at attention!" Bai Shaohua shouted
Immediately, all the new soldiers and veterans lined up in order, waiting for Shao Xi's inspection
Shao Xi jumped off the off-road vehicle, then looked at all his soldiers and said: "No need to look around, I have never been to this primeval forest, let alone you."
Before anyone could ask questions, Shao Xi quickly said: "This is a mission, so I decided to complete it in the way of veterans leading new recruits. Newbies, don't be afraid. There is no need for actual combat this time. All we have to do is reconnaissance to find out.
The structure of this primeval forest, and then explore the best ambush point."
After saying that, he motioned to Bai Shaohua to take out the lottery box.
"For the sake of fairness, each of us draws a lot. The number written on the lot is the recruit's number. I will also go out personally. Remember, this is a mission. This is just a preliminary layout survey, because there are drug gangs on the border who want to cross.
Do you have the confidence to complete this entry into the virgin forest?"
As Shao Xi spoke, he went to the lottery box to draw lots. He took out one and read: "No. 37, get out of the queue."
Fang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and stood up
What a bad luck, he had such a small chance of being chosen. Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but think in his heart.
After the lottery was completed, each recruit was assigned a formal special forces soldier to lead
Shao Xi looked at his watch and then said to everyone: "This reconnaissance lasts for five days. To a certain extent, it is wilderness survival training. Come on, brothers. See you here in five days. From now on, two people form a unit.
We set out in different directions and hope you all come back with a perfect map. The mission begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, each official special operations team member of the Blood Wolf Team took the recruits they were responsible for and ran into the primeval forest in different directions.
Fang Xiaoyu was about to start running, but was stopped by Shao Xi: "Wait a minute, I want to see them all go in before leaving."
"Is this the captain's duty?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at him and asked
Shao Xi nodded: "Yes, I am responsible for each of your lives."
After saying that, he threw his strategic backpack into Fang Xiaoyu's hands and said cheekily: "Just help me carry the things. I feel very unhappy carrying such a heavy thing."
Fang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes again. Damn it, Shao Xi thought he was a servant.
Seeing that all the personnel had successfully entered the virgin forest and left his sight, Shao Xi patted Fang Xiaoyu on the shoulder and said, "Let's set off too."
Fang Xiaoyu has to carry his own strategic backpack again, and with the addition of Shao Xi's, he is already carrying 40 kilograms.
He was once again sure that nothing good would really happen with Shao Xi.
Thinking of being alone with Shao Xi for these five days, Fang Xiaoyu felt a little sick in his stomach.
"I'm going through the thunder, please follow me closely. There are many dangerous animals and plants here," Shao Xi took the lead and reminded.
"Yes" Fang Xiaoyu responded
This primeval forest is full of towering trees, and there are many ferns that are almost as tall as a person.
The sunlight barely penetrates. It's obviously broad daylight, but when you walk in here, it feels like it's about to get dark.
Coupled with the thick grass on the ground, visibility is very low and the range of vision is also greatly restricted.
Undoubtedly, this environment is quite harsh
If Chen Guoyao hadn't personally issued a document asking Shao Xi to bring the new recruits, he would never have let these rookies take risks.
The environment here is even harsher than the virgin forest where wild survival was carried out in the past. Thinking that there are many poisonous snakes living here, Shao Xi is even more cautious at every step.
After walking for a while, Fang Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but said: "Captain, don't we need to draw a map?"
After hearing this, Shao Xi exclaimed: "Ah?"
"Um, didn't you say we came to survey the terrain? That means drawing a map." Fang Xiaoyu has not forgotten the knowledge he learned in school.
Shao Xi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "You're so funny, we're not scouts, so why draw a map?" After saying that, he pointed at his head with his finger, "Special forces all draw maps in their heads.
, this way the secret won’t be leaked, understand?”
"Oh" Fang Xiaoyu responded
Realizing that Fang Xiaoyu's attitude was very cold, Shao Xi immediately changed to a playful smile: "What's wrong? You have to have confidence in yourself. Your grades are already good among the recruits. Brigade Chen is very optimistic about you."
Fang Xiaoyu said nothing, just followed Shao Xi and looked at his back.
"What's wrong? You kid, don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't say anything and keep it in your heart?" Shao Xi continued to talk to him.
"What do you think, captain?" Fang Xiaoyu suddenly asked
"What do you think?" Shao Xi asked back
"Do you think it's possible for me to become a special soldier?" Fang Xiaoyu asked the question that he had wanted to ask for a long time. He wanted to know what Shao Xi thought of him.
But Shao Xi’s answer is very official: “As long as you work hard, it’s possible.”
Fang Xiaoyu curled his lips, quite dissatisfied with his answer because it did not contain Shao Xi's subjective factors at all.
But just as he was about to speak, Shao Xi immediately made a silencing gesture.
Fang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and before he could realize what was going on, he saw Shao Xi quickly pull out the saber, and then quickly threw the saber away.
The saber accurately cut a poisonous snake in half on the big tree in front of it.
Then Shao Xi immediately walked over, raised his foot wearing military boots and stepped on it hard, crushing the snake's head.
He picked up the saber and wiped the blood on it with his military uniform sleeve.
This series of actions did not last more than five seconds.
"Why are you still here? Clean up the scene quickly." Shao Xi clamped the poisonous snake's body with branches and buried it in a ditch. "Clean all the leaves and grass stained with blood. Don't leave any traces."
Hearing this, Fang Xiaoyu immediately started to help: "Captain, it's such a troublesome thing. If you don't kill it in the first place, wouldn't it be fine?"
Shao Xi: "We must try our best to choose a route that will not leave traces, so it is necessary to remove some obstacles. If we avoid this snake, then we are likely to create traces of human activities in a larger area."
Fang Xiaoyu curled his lips: "Is this what special forces must learn?"
Shao Xi shrugged: "No, this is my principle of action"
Fang Xiaoyu: "..."
Shao Xi: "So I have never exposed my location during my actions, and I have never been caught or traced. If you want to defeat me so much, you might as well learn this principle from me."
Fang Xiaoyu: "...But don't we have no enemies now?"
Shao Xi: "This is also part of the strategy. What would you think if you were a drug trafficker and found dead snakes here when passing through this forest?"
Fang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and replied honestly: "I will know that someone has been here, and then... I am afraid that there will be an ambush."
Shao Xi smiled knowingly: "Do you understand now?"
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "But what if other people leave traces?"
Shao Xi's expression suddenly became serious: "They are all soldiers I brought out. You have to trust your comrades."
Fang Xiaoyu: "..."
Shao Xi: "You must learn to trust your back to your comrades. Just like me now, I will leave my back to you to protect it. Do you understand?"
Fang Xiaoyu nodded with some vague understanding.
Shao Xi buried the snake perfectly until no trace of man-made signs could be seen before he said: "Okay, let's move on."
