Gong Xue knew that once she told the terrible reality, Zeng Yingying and Wei Lan would definitely lose their confidence and refuse to complete the journey.
Starting from the morning, a helicopter will fly over their heads every hour. They are helicopters waiting for the rescue signal. If someone can't hold on, just pull the signal flare, and rescuers will appear immediately and throw them onto the plane.
Evacuate safely.
To evacuate is to admit defeat.
Everyone can admit defeat and retreat, but she will not...
She will never leave her dignity and pride in this tropical rainforest with the footprints of her lover...
She is not walking alone.
Never alone...
She gave her kettle to Zeng Yingying and Wei Lan, and gave a bottle of mineral water distributed before departure to the soldier who had lost his backpack.
And besides her huge backpack, she only had tools for survival...
They looked at her with complicated eyes. The soldier wanted to return the water to her, but Gong Xue forced it into his arms, "Here, you don't know how to get water in the wild, so you should feel more at ease with this."
The soldier wanted to grab her backpack, but Gong Xue refused, "You have good physical strength, help them take turns carrying it."
The soldier nodded and said nothing more.
For the next trip, Gong Xue was much more careful. She no longer let the soldiers and others go alone, but went to fetch water or forage by herself. After several experiments, she found that there were hidden things near high-quality water sources or in hunting areas.
Very good traps and ropes. And the supply stations marked on the map are either a piece of grass or a dangerous area full of traps, and you can't get close to them at all.
It seems that they are forcing these rookies to ask God for water and food.
The food was okay. After all, it had the gopher meat and steamed rice balls that we had caught before, so we could last for a while. However, we consumed too much water. We didn’t go very far, and we drank all the pot of water and the soldier’s mineral water.
.
Gong Xue collected clean drinking water from fresh moss and edible plant roots that could be found everywhere in the rainforest. Although the quantity was small, it was inexhaustible, which solved a big problem.
The hardest part is at night.
Afraid that the special operations team members hiding in the jungle would discover their whereabouts, they did not dare to light a fire as recklessly as they did the night before. However, if the meat was not cooked, Zeng Yingying and Wei Lan would not eat it. Helpless, Gong Xue could only
Take them to find a hidden cave to use as a temporary campsite.
The cave never sees the light all year round, and the humidity is so heavy that the fire cannot burn for long before extinguishing itself.
Gong Xue hadn't come up with a solution yet, but Zeng Yingying, who had an emotional breakdown due to hunger and fatigue, could no longer bear her temper, pointed at Gong Xue and complained: "If you want to be a hero, do it yourself, don't involve us.
!!We can’t stand this test of survival in Laoshizi, where we have nothing to eat, nothing to drink, and no place to sleep. We want to quit---------"
"Yes!! Quit!! We have to quit!!" Wei Lan was also anxious and rushed forward to grab Gong Xue's signal gun.
The soldier stretched out his hand to stop her, but was knocked aside by Wei Lan. Gong Xue did not stop her, watching Wei Lan rummaging around in her equipment, finding the life-saving signal gun, picking up Zeng Yingying and running out of the cave.
"It's useless if you fight." Gong Xue reminded calmly.
The two figures in front stopped. Wei Lan hid his gun, turned around and asked Gong Xue angrily: "What tricks do you want to play again?"
Gong Xue said calmly: "I just want to remind you that it's night now, and there won't be any rescue helicopters coming to rescue you!"
Seeing Wei Lan and Zeng Yingying looking at each other in embarrassment, Gong Xue smiled faintly and said: "There is only one flare. If it is used up, you will forever lose the opportunity to ask for help."
"..."
The two girls, who were extremely embarrassed and frustrated, returned to the cave. They threw their backpacks heavily on the ground and sat down on the ground, regardless of whether their pants were wet or not.
"Tomorrow morning!! We must quit tomorrow morning!!" Zeng Yingying yelled at Gong Xue's back like she was mad...
Gong Xue had no time to bicker and quarrel with them.
She stared at the fire on the ground and thought for a while, then said to the soldier: "Go dig some dry soil and find some hay."
The soldiers responded and left.
Gong Xue threw the flashlight to Wei Lan, "Help with the shooting while I handle the raw meat."
The food was all kept at Gong Xue's place, and Wei Lan had no choice but to do as he was short on cannibalism.
Unexpectedly, Gong Xue handed over the two rice balls first, "Let's cushion them first, aren't you already hungry?"
Wei Lan and Zeng Yingying looked at each other, and Wei Lan said hesitantly: "There is only one left...you and Dabing..."
Gong Xue's eyes as clear as lake water shimmered slightly, "Leave us alone, you are weak and need to supplement your nutrition."
Holding the steaming rice ball in his hand, Wei Lan felt his heart heat up...
Zeng Yingying grabbed it politely and bumped into Wei Lan: "Eat! Why don't you eat! We are just worse than them!!" After saying that, she took a big bite of the rice ball.
After swallowing, she puffed her chest to help breathe, while staring at the fresh meat in the distance and demanding: "We still want to eat meat!!"
Gong Xue smiled slightly and said yes.
After being covered with dry soil, the fire finally started. The red flames meant warmth, hot water and cooked food for the people in distress. Fire can double a person's strength. The most important thing is that fire can make the body more powerful.
People in peril develop confidence vital to survival..
The narrow cave was covered with hay and the sense of security brought by the fire gradually stabilized Zeng Yingying and the others' emotions.
Gong Xue put the gopher meat on a wooden skewer and roasted it on the fire. After a while, the rich aroma of the meat filled every corner of the cave. The soldier swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and then looked at the other
The two beauties, like him, were staring at the delicious food sizzling on the fire.
Gong Xue used a dagger to cut off a small piece of tender meat and put it into her mouth, chewing it carefully.
The soldier's stomach was so stimulated that he shrank into a ball. He asked anxiously: "Are you ready? Can you eat?"
Gong Xue gave the biggest meat skewer and a rice ball to the soldier, "Yours."
The soldier was so hungry that he started to eat hungrily.
Da Bing's eyes opened wider and wider, and he gave Gong Xue a thumbs up while eating, "It's so delicious!! Absolutely... delicious food on earth!! It's so delicious!!"
The remaining meat skewers were originally divided between Zeng Yingying and Wei Lan, but she hesitated before handing them over. Wei Lan's saliva had already flowed all over the floor, and coupled with the soldier's constant praise and the stimulation of chewing sounds, she could no longer
Not caring about the image or image, he stepped forward to grab the meat skewers and stuffed them into his mouth.
A few seconds later, her reaction was even stronger than that of a soldier, and she went straight to grab Zeng Yingying's skewered meat, "Aren't you trying to lose weight? I'll eat it for you..."
Zeng Yingying got angry, slapped Wei Lan's claws away, and stuffed most of the meat skewers into her mouth.
