Chapter 218 Wilderness Survival Training
The next morning at five o'clock, the two had to get up and rush to the military camp. After a day's rest, they were even more tired than training. In addition, this incident made them both feel heavy-hearted.
Fortunately, his teammates were always very supportive. As soon as Ruan Haoyu arrived at the dormitory, Su Xinhao came over with a cervical massager and gave it to him. He also exaggeratedly said: "Senior Haoyu, if you are tired during training, put this on your neck. It will be very comfortable and will definitely wipe away your fatigue."
Wen Yuquan also took out a box of plasters and handed it over like a treasure, "Senior Haoyu, take this and stick it on the sore area when you go to bed at night. I guarantee that the pain will be gone when you wake up the next day."
It seems that the recent training has made these two guys tired. They took a day off to look for treasures like this. They are not expensive, but the thought is precious. Ruan Haoyu did not refuse and accepted them one by one. He said, "It's a pity that I was too busy today and didn't bring you any gifts. I will make it up to you later."
Su Xinhao and Wen Yuquan waved their hands together and said, "No, no, no." They were not asking for a return gift. They just wanted to have a good relationship with Ruan Haoyu. In the entertainment industry, the more friends you have, the more paths you will have. Especially with a heavyweight friend like the movie emperor, that cannot be measured by gifts. Just a little help may save you twenty years of hard work.
The two of them went to give gifts to Qi Nanfeng again. Ruan Haoyu calmed down and looked out the window. The weather in August was not so hot in the morning. There was a slight cool breeze, which was refreshing. It made him feel a little better after being depressed for two days. He suddenly felt that the military camp was pretty good. At least here, there were not so many dirty things and dirty people. Everyone just got along simply and purely, trained together, and encouraged each other.
After dinner, he continued training. During the high-intensity training that made him sweat profusely, Ruan Haoyu's heart gradually calmed down. Physical fatigue can indeed cure mental fatigue. It seems that in the future, if he has any troubles, he can consider going to the gym to exercise properly.
At the end of the training that day, Zhou Hanqing instructed, "Everyone get a good rest tonight, and we will start the jungle survival training tomorrow."
This sentence made everyone look at each other in bewilderment. It was the jungle again. The shadow of last time had not yet passed. Unexpectedly, it came again so soon.
Nothing happened that night, and training officially began the next day.
A total of 40 people came this time, divided into ten groups, five red teams and five blue teams, starting at different points, with four people in each group, a mix of men and women, and new and old people. Everyone has a laser irradiation device on them. Once hit by the opponent, smoke of the corresponding color will emerge, indicating that they are eliminated.
After eliminating the opponent, you can take the opponent's equipment. Each person is equipped with one day's food and the training lasts for three days. During this period, you either eliminate the opponent and seize the equipment, or find food in the jungle by yourself.
Everyone has watched military TV dramas and is familiar with this kind of competition. After three days, the team with more people reaching the finish line wins. The winning team can move freely in the barracks for a day, and the losing team will double their training.
Ruan Haoyu, Su Xinhao, Mu Xiaoqiao and Murong Xue are members of the red team, Qi Nanfeng, Wen Yuquan, Bao Jingjing and Gao Qi are members of the blue team.
Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, Zhou Hanqing assigned Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao to a team with two veterans, also a man and a woman. The male soldier was named Liu Shangwu, a veteran special forces soldier with five years of service, and the female soldier was named Mao Yunshu, who had just been in the special forces for a year.
The four of them were placed at the starting point. Ruan Haoyu carried Liu Shangwu, Mao Yunshu, and the photographer on his back. He tugged at Mu Xiaoqiao's clothes and whispered, "We're finally together."
After arriving at the army, in order to avoid suspicion, the two of them could hardly speak to each other, and they had never had the opportunity to fight side by side like this before, so Ruan Haoyu was very happy to be assigned to the same team this time.
Mu Xiaoqiao was also happy, but she had a lot to worry about. There were teammates, photographers, and satellite surveillance, so she had to continue to avoid suspicion.
"You still have to be careful." She said softly.
At this time, the veteran Liu Shangwu had become the team leader. He was experienced, had a long career, was very cheerful, and was well-known in the army.
At this moment, he gathered everyone together and held a simple meeting.
"It's an honor to fight side by side with the three of you. We are all teammates, so I won't say anything else and let's get straight to the point. This is a competition and a team battle. In the end, the winner is determined by the number of people. So what we have to do is first to ensure that everyone in our group passes the level. On this basis, we will help other members of the red team pass as many levels as possible. We have limited food, so to keep it simple, we just need to eliminate the opponent and steal their equipment. This way, we can last longer. Otherwise, it will be a waste of time to find food."
The other three nodded, admitting that Liu Shangwu was right. Then the four of them took out the map and determined the route. It was nearly two hundred kilometers from here to the finish line, with mostly jungles and rugged mountain roads in between. They needed to cross a mountain. This was basically an uninhabited area, but because the special forces often came here for training, they had also done some exploration. There were no large wild animals, but there were quite a few birds and small animals.
"There is a river here. If we swim across it, we can save about 30 kilometers. We can't go around this mountain, we have to climb over it, so our route is: jungle - swimming - climbing the mountain. The end point is at the foot of the mountain. To prevent the enemy from attacking us, we have to set up sentries every time we rest. Remember not to act alone. All actions must be under command. Do you understand?"
After Liu Shangwu finished speaking, the three of them said in unison: "Understood."
After making a simple plan, the four of them set off. Each of them carried about 30 kilograms of equipment. In addition to the necessary food and water, there were also some necessities for survival in the wild, such as tents, sleeping bags, etc. They also held a gun in their hands, of course, loaded with blank bullets.
This may not be a big deal for veteran special forces soldiers, but for these new recruits who have only been in the army for more than a month, this is truly an extremely difficult challenge.
So along the way, Liu Shangwu and Mao Yunshu took good care of Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao. Fortunately, these two people were also very supportive and not pretentious. Even though hiking with heavy loads was indeed very tiring, the two encouraged each other and no one complained of being tired.
Because of the different starting points, we basically didn’t meet anyone on the first day. We only met one group, who were from their red team. After greeting each other, we went our separate ways. There was no need to go all together, as that would make us too conspicuous and would also slow down our progress.
Taking advantage of the first day when they were in the best physical condition, the four of them took very little rest and covered almost half the distance. At eight o'clock in the evening, they arrived at the river where they needed to swim.
It takes about half an hour to cross the river. Liu Shangwu had walked here before and encouraged his teammates, "Don't worry, this river is very shallow, only up to your waist, and there is nothing dangerous at the bottom of the river. We can go across tonight and rest on the other side of the river, and dry our clothes. If we cross the river tomorrow morning, we will have to wear wet clothes all day, which is very uncomfortable."
What he said made sense, and everyone unanimously decided to do so. Ruan Haoyu also said with a smile: "Everyone, pay attention when you cross the river and see if you can catch a few fish. We can grill them when we get ashore."
Everyone laughed and started to go. They took off their shoes and put them in their backpacks, took out a rope, and all of them joined together and went into the water.
The river water was a little cold, but fortunately the weather was not particularly cold, and everyone quickly adapted to the temperature. Liu Shangwu walked in front, Ruan Haoyu came last, and the two girls walked in the middle. The four of them walked step by step towards the other side of the river.
When they were about to reach the other side, Liu Shangwu suddenly gave a signal to stop moving forward. The people behind him didn't know what was going on and stopped immediately. The surroundings suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere became very tense for a while.
It was already dark, and Liu Shangwu couldn't see his hand in front of him. He held his breath and listened for a while, then said, "There is someone on the shore ahead."
Everyone looked towards the other side with all their eyesight, and finally saw a flickering fire in the forest on the other side. From here it looked like fireflies, but no sound was heard, and no one knew how Liu Shangwu heard it.
"Could it be that other teammates also crossed the river tonight?" Mu Xiaoqiao asked softly.
