The ones who fired the flares were students from X-Force.
It was the one who was sick with fever.
While his two teammates were sleeping, he secretly took out the flare hidden in his clothes, and then decisively chose to fire it.
When Mo Shangjun and Fu Zhe rushed back, the other two students of the X Special Forces Team were angry. They were sad and angry, and kept asking him why he gave up, why he couldn't hold on a little longer, and maybe he would get through it if he just held on a little longer.
.
The man had a high fever and never got better. He was weak and weak, but he looked at them with a smile.
He smiled softly.
He said: "I know my situation and I can't hold on. But you can."
Then, at that moment, the voices of sadness and anger disappeared, and the two people who were in high spirits just now suddenly became quiet.
One person squatted down and buried his head in his knees in the darkness. Another person turned around and walked farther away, punching the tree hard, causing the leaves to fall as they swayed.
When he saw Mo Shangjun and Fu Zhe coming back, Ding Jing, who had woken up long ago, jumped down from the tree.
Ding Jing tilted his head and said, "Let them wait for a while."
"Um."
Mo Shangyun nodded.
Although they are all in the same group, they are in two armies after all, and there is still a gap.
Just like now, some people choose to give up, and they are just sorry.
However, as far as Mo Shangjun and Ding Jing were concerned, it was not too surprising.
The cold and fever were much more serious than Fu Zhe's hand injury, and the man's high fever persisted. They tried many methods to no avail. If this high fever lasted for a long time and did not receive timely and effective treatment, the consequences would be
His future physical functions may be affected. If it continues to be delayed, there is a question of whether he can be rescued.
If Fu Zhe chooses to stay now, Mo Shangjun will support him. If Fu Zhe wants to leave, she will also give him some advice.
However, this person... If he wants to persist, she will still agree, but if he chooses to leave, she will also support him.
At a time like this, his body is the most important thing.
After holding on until the end, my body collapsed and there were still sequelae that could not be left behind.
*
This night, they didn't sleep well.
Even people like Mo Shangjun and Ding Jing, who could feel energetic after just squinting for a while, found their bodies unable to bear the heavy rain after many days of trekking through mountains and rivers.
As soon as it got dark, they continued on their way, but their tired bodies greatly slowed down their movement efficiency.
What's more important is that they have nothing to eat.
In this place, not to mention living creatures, even wild vegetables are extremely rare.
Generally, wild vegetables will grow near water sources, but the heavy rains in the past few days have caused the water level to continue to rise, and all plants, edible and non-edible, have been submerged.
The places they walked were filled with weeds and shrubs, let alone wild vegetables.
"Forget it, stop."
After walking for a while, Mo Shangyun finally turned around and spoke to the four people behind him.
"What's up?"
Ding Jing still had some energy and asked.
Fu Zhe's hand injury never got better. He was exhausted from walking this section and found it difficult to even say a word.
The other two were still immersed in the anguish of their comrades who chose to give up and were taken away. They were unhappy and had no energy at all.
Mo Shangyun flexed his muscles, raised his eyebrows, and said without hesitation: "I'm hungry."
When the word "hungry" fell into everyone's ears, it was like triggering a mechanism, and everyone's stomach began to growl without stopping.
Ding Jing raised his hand and patted the tree beside him, and said: "Come, chew the bark, you will be full soon."
This idea is not generally unreliable.
Fu Zhe then suggested: "How about we cook some banana leaves?"
Ding Jing turned around in surprise, "Have we already reached this level of misery?"
Fu Zhe: "..." That's actually better than chewing tree bark.
"Don't worry about whether we can complete the task first, let's fill our stomach first." Mo Shangjun said simply, "I'll just spend the morning here. Do you have any objections?"
"No." Ding Jing was the first to raise his hand in agreement.
Damn, she's starving to death.
Fu Zhe thought for a while and shook his head.
Food is the most important thing for the people.
In their current state, their movement speed is not as fast as before and their efficiency is not high.
It still makes sense to say that sharpening a knife does not waste time chopping wood.
However, the two members of X-Force didn't think so.
"Why didn't you suggest this before Shitou gave up?!" one of the students asked very unhappily.
Another person pulled him and signaled him not to get angry, but he also didn't agree with Mo Shangjun's proposal, "Our pace is already very slow now. I won't say whether we can find food here, but
If we don't arrive on time, it's all meaningless. I'm sorry, because the stone just left... we don't want to let him down."
Ding Jing frowned, "It's like parting between life and death."
"What do you mean?!"
The person who spoke first rushed towards Ding Jing with one swift step.
But soon, he was stopped by his companion, "Don't be impulsive!"
"Look what she said!" The man pointed at Ding Jing and said angrily.
"Why don't you argue with a girl?!" my companion persuaded me.
This was originally meant to persuade, but when Ding Jing heard it, the meaning was different.
"Oh, what's wrong with the girl?!" Ding Jing sneered, raised her leg and took two steps forward, because she was standing on a high place on the slope, looking down at the two of them, "We girls, we're still dragging
Aren’t your hind legs working?”
Fu Zhe leaned close to her, feeling very nervous and ready to start a fight at any time.
He remembered Ding Jing's temper, fearless of heaven and earth. Among the entire batch of GS9 students, only Mo Shangjun could control her.
When she wants to provoke others, she will provoke them, and when she wants to beat them up, she will find a reason to arrange a fight. Anyway, everything will be according to her mood.
The words of that companion now, a few months ago, would have been enough for Ding Jing to move his hands and bones.
Don't let her mess around!
The companion was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had made a mistake, and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else."
"Ah."
Ding Jing said coldly.
But when this posture fell into the eyes of the other person, he became angry and said, "I don't care whether you are a man or a woman, you must apologize to Shitou! Otherwise we will not be finished with this matter!"
"Apologise?" Ding Jing seemed to have heard something funny and raised an eyebrow at him, "It's just that a person is gone, what's there to be sad about? As long as he wants to, next year or the year after next, as long as he has the ability, he can do it
Join your X special team. Look what you are doing? Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you bitch, are you capable of manipulating some manly courage? Now you still have time to care about the people who have been taken away, so you might as well worry about it
What’s your current situation!”
Ding Jing's words really pissed off both of them.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, Mo Shangyun finally couldn't bear it and said, "Okay!"
"Mo Shangyun, you are the team leader! She is also from your GS9, you must give an explanation for this matter!" The grumpy one yelled at Mo Shangyun angrily.
"Team leader, whichever one of you likes to be?" Mo Shangyun frowned irritably, "I'm looking for food now. If you want to leave, come and get the map. Those who want to stay, follow me. Those who dare to quarrel and start internal strife.
I wasted my time, don’t blame me for being rude!”
"You're trying to protect a calf!" The man was so angry that he almost jumped up.
Mo Shangjun kicked away the dead branches blocking the way, stared at the man with evil eyes, and said word by word, "Why the hell are you trying to get angry at me again?"
She had a fierce look on her face, and the irritability in the corners of her eyes and brows was clearly visible, and the murderous aura around her was rising sharply.
One word, ruthless!
The sudden burst of dangerous aura immediately frightened the two people into silence. Even Ding Jing and Fu Zhe couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Damn it!
This woman is going crazy with hunger!
Ding Jing couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Thirty seconds, I'll give you a choice!" Mo Shangjun said to the two people, and then said to Ding Jing and Fu Zhe, "You two, follow me."
After saying that, an unsheathed saber suddenly appeared in her hand. She cut off the branches beside her and walked straight up the mountain.
Ding Jing and Fu Zhe looked at each other, then silently looked at the branch she had chopped off on the ground.
A branch half as thick as an arm was cut down by her in one stroke without any pause in the process.
This method...
The two of them felt a strong chill and hurriedly followed her, not daring to slack off.
As for the two members of Special Forces X who were left behind, they looked at each other in confusion.
Just follow Mo Shangyun, I really can't swallow this breath.
It's so frustrating.
——Although they did get angry at Mo Shangyun when he first proposed it.
However, they were ridiculed by Ding Jing!
However, if they were to leave like this, the terrain ahead would be complex and difficult, and the risk factor for the two of them would be too great.
Calm down and think about it, collective action is safer.
Mo Shangjun gave them thirty seconds to think, but they thought for three full minutes before finally deciding to "endure the humiliation" and follow the footsteps of Mo Shangjun and others up the mountain.
They found Mo Shangyun who had walked some distance away and had dispersed a bit with Fu Zhe and Ding Jing.
"We are with you." The patient one took the initiative to bow to Mo Shangyun.
Mo Shangjun picked up things on the ground and threw them into the plastic sheet without raising his head, and said coldly: "You are you, he is him."
She is not targeting anyone or favoring anyone.
But, this person should never have gotten angry with her in the first place.
It is understandable that you feel depressed when your companion leaves.
But what does it have to do with others?!
She made the suggestion, and she also shouldered the responsibility of the group leader, but there was no reason for this person to take his anger out on her!
As for Ding Jing... First of all, Ding Jing was also angry at her and these two people. Secondly, this was a matter between Ding Jing and them. If they could, they would go to Ding Jing and ask Ding Jing to apologize to them.
Anyway, she doesn't care and can't control it.
When they were first divided into groups, the instructor said there was no group leader and they were left to coordinate on their own.
She has done enough things as a team leader in the past seven days, and now she no longer cares about this position.
Who hasn’t lost their temper?!
The man was a bit stubborn and paused for a few seconds without speaking. Finally, under the urging and hint of his companion, he finally lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be angry with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mo Shangjun bend down and find a few things in the plastic cloth, and threw them all to them when he stood up.
They both caught it in a hurry.
"Go find something to eat." Mo Shangyun said, "These are not poisonous, so you can eat them with confidence. You can know more, as long as they are not poisonous."
The two of them looked down and found that what Mo Shangjun threw to them were all mushrooms.
The two looked at each other silently, communicated with their eyes, and finally did not dare to ask Mo Shangyun - are you really sure these mushrooms are not poisonous?
Neither of them knew mushrooms.
As for the types of mushrooms, they are all enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, etc. that can be seen in the vegetable market. As for other mushrooms, they are all considered poisonous.
This season happens to be the season when mushrooms are rampant. Coupled with the heavy rain that lasts for several days, wild mushrooms are everywhere in the mountains and fields, and you can't go far to find them.
But they didn't know any of them.
——In the knowledge of survival in the wild, they will be taught several types of knowledge, but it has been several months, and they have not seen the real thing, so they have long returned that bit of knowledge to the instructor.
While they were silent, Mo Shangyun found a few more mushrooms. When she got up and walked elsewhere, she suddenly paused, then glanced at them sideways, "If you don't believe it, you can go find it. Don't worry.
of."
However, if they want to eat, they can only eat what they find.
This is not negotiable.
The grumpy one didn't understand, but the other one did, and quickly said, "We believe you."
Mo Shangyun smiled without meaning, then raised his legs and walked away.
"What if it's poisonous?" The grumpy one was still a little worried.
"You are stupid, she is the one who can directly defeat all the students of Instructor Yuan's class. She is so powerful at the age of 17, but she doesn't have such a bit of common sense?" His companion rolled his eyes at him, "And they all came from Yuncheng.
Where are you from? A place where fungi are rampant! Every household has to go to the mountains to collect fungi this season! They must know more fungi than we do!"
"……All right."
The man finally nodded.
If you think about it carefully, Mo Shangyun probably wouldn't choose to take too big a risk just to fill his stomach.
The fungi she selected should all be reliable and non-toxic.
*
In fact, both Mo Shangjun and Ding Jing had already had the idea of these mushrooms.
The main reason is that it has been raining before, and many mushrooms need to be cooked before they can be eaten. Since it is difficult to even light a fire, I can only eat wild vegetables for the time being.
The rain had just stopped now, and it didn't look like it would rain in the morning. Plus they didn't have anything to eat, so they naturally came up with the idea of these mushrooms.
Ding Jing has stayed in Yuncheng for more than ten years and goes to the mountains to pick mushrooms every year. There are several veterans who are very familiar with these. She knows many edible mushrooms.
Thanks to her extensive knowledge and strong memory, Mo Shangjun already knows some common mushrooms and has learned some in wilderness survival classes. She may not be as good as Ding Jing, but she can definitely pick more mushrooms.
She knows him and makes sure there are no problems. (To be continued)
