Chapter 89: The Road to the King of Soldiers: Stepping into the Wilderness
Despite the rugged mountain road, the car still drove into the deep mountains.
"Did you see the bag next to you?" said the second-level non-commissioned officer.
"Yeah, I saw it." Jiang Xiao glanced at it and said.
"Open the outer right pocket to take a look."
"What is this?" Jiang Xiao took out a device and said in confusion.
"Fire gun."
"Fire gun?"
The car stopped in front of a valley, and the second-level non-commissioned officer continued: "Your first assessment is to travel through the wilderness.
I will send you here at the prescribed time. Each of you must travel through the wilderness and reach your target site according to the specified route within the prescribed time, that is, the Snow Wolf Camp.
It is more than 270 kilometers away from the destination and needs to arrive within three days.
You wear this helmet and it has the positioning signal and camera synchronized to the camp assessment command.
If you encounter force majeure factors in the middle or you abstain from your own permission, you can send a signal to the sky, and someone will come to pick it up.
I'll take your other things to the camp first.
You carry this backpack and study the other things in it yourself.
There are still 5 minutes left to start the assessment, do you have any questions?"
Jiang Xiao did not expect the assessment to come so suddenly, but since this has begun, it doesn’t make much sense to ask anything at this time, so he smiled and said, “No.”
"Well, the time is almost over, so that's it. I wish you so far!" After the second-level non-commissioned officer said that, the accelerator roared and ran away.
Jiang Xiao quickly opened his backpack. In addition to firing guns, the supplies in the bag also had a military directional topographic map, a compass, a military flashlight, a military dagger, a bundle of ropes, a pack of compressed dry food, and a bottle of mineral water.
"No wonder this bag is so light, it turns out to be just such a small thing." Jiang Xiao smiled and said to himself as he looked at the helmet in his hand.
"Is this guy you asked Wu Long to specially choose?" A stern Ermao in the monitoring room of the camp assessment command center looked at Jiang Xiao in the real-time video and smiled faintly at a majestic Ermao.
"That's right, he is Jiang Xiao!" Another Ermao said with a smile.
"This kid has a pretty face, can it work? Haha!"
"Then you should take a closer look at the heroic spirit between his eyebrows and his burly body that doesn't match his appearance. Do you think he is that kind of young man, haha!"
"It's true, it's true! However, those who have participated in the selection over the years have been the top players of the elite troops, so the assessment projects are also targeted at these elite veterans. Just the first targeted off-road assessment, this recruit has never received training and learning in subjects such as outdoor direction and survival. Moreover, you know the environment and situation of the forest we chose this time. This is a bit too far-fetched."
"Since I let him participate in the selection, I naturally recognize his qualifications."
"You are always so mysterious!"
"Where are you, just look at it!"
"Okay! I want to see what magical powers this recruit who can be targeted by you personally!"
One of the two is Ling Yuntian, the captain of the Snow Wolf Commando, and the other is the instructor Pan Wenbin.
"The rookies are all starting to set off!" Ling Yuntian smiled faintly at the rows of real-time video footage.
"I hope this group of elite soldiers can come to this group!" Pan Wenbin said seriously.
"Haha! Old Pan, don't worry!" Ling Yuntian said seriously.
The marching speed of regular training is 30 to 40 kilometers per day. These more than 200 kilometers of directional off-road in barren mountains and forests must be completed within three days, which will have a great test for outdoor orientation and survival ability, and at the same time it will also be a great test for physical fitness and will.
The mountains were filled with mist, the sky gradually darkened, and the rain was getting heavier.
Now you need to find a shelter to rest first. If your clothes are wet in the rain, you will also accelerate the loss of heat in the body, cause fever and even endanger your life.
Jiang Xiao thought while walking forward according to the directional route in the direction map while observing the places suitable for shelter.
Passing by a tree hole under a big tree is very suitable for people to stay alone, but on rainy days the tree hole and the ground are too prone to accumulate water, so this kind of rain is very likely to have dead branches or even branches broken by wind and rain falling down from the sky. Moreover, in this deep mountain forest, there must be various beasts and poisonous snakes, and it is very unsafe to be on the ground at night.
After checking the tree for no venomous snakes, you can simply build a shelter, but it will not play a good shelter in rainy days.
Jiang Xiao observed the surrounding terrain and environment everywhere, thinking quickly in his heart, and walked a long way, a steep hillside of four or five meters high, and a naturally formed mountain crack came into his eyes.
Jiang Xiao carefully turned on the flashlight and tentatively shone into the hole, and saw a few frightened birds flying out in panic.
If there are birds sheltering from the rain, it means there are no animals such as poisonous snakes and wild animals. The entrance of the cave is more than four or five meters high, and generally no wild beasts will choose small caves of this height to build nests.
To be safe, Jiang Xiao then tentatively threw two stones into the cave, and there was no movement except for the sound of the stone smashing into the cave.
After confirming that there was no problem, Jiang Xiao rushed to the steep slope with one foot, and his body stomped upwards with the help of the inertia of impulse, and then grabbed the lower edge of the hole with both hands.
Sure enough, there was nothing else inside except gravel and a few big stones. Jiang Xiao jumped into the cave with both hands and feet.
The cave is nearly two meters deep, two meters wide, and more than one meter high. It is relatively dry inside, making it a good shelter.
Jiang Xiao found a flint in the cave, went outside to collect some dead branches of trees, used some bird feathers and hay found in the cave as fire guide, and used flints and daggers to ignite the fire.
"It seems that everyone has found a good shelter and can't eliminate people tonight, haha!" Pan Wenbin smiled as he looked at the real-time video, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in his tone.
"That's not necessarily! They are not lying on their own bed, haha!" Ling Yuntian said with a faint smile.
"This guy is good to jump, it's almost five meters long! He's lucky. He found a relatively ideal shelter and found a piece of flint inside." Pan Wenbin exclaimed as he watched Jiang Xiao's real-time video of making fire in the cave.
"I can't help but praise me, haha!"
"Just be calm, who can compare with you, a non-human!"
"Oh, Lao Pan, no matter how he talks, why are he still cursing people?"
"I said it was not human, but I didn't say it was not human, haha!"
"Okay, just be happy! Keep watching~"
Move several large stones in the cave to make a low wall next to the cave, which can better defend against wind and rain.
Jiang Xiao took off his coat and cotton pants and put them next to the fire with a rope. He began to pick up the directional map and study it. The route he formulated was not only mountains, but also rapids, dangerous shoals and cliffs. It was really dangerous!
It takes a certain degree of compression of rest time and reasonable allocation of physical energy to better cross this dangerous area and arrive at the camp.
After taking a bite of compressed biscuits and drinking two sips of mineral water, Jiang Xiao was all about plugging his teeth and rinsing his mouth. During the special period, he had to work together to distribute water and food before obtaining food and drinking water.
We must hurry up and rest to have a good mental state, and we must get up early to continue moving forward. Jiang Xiao looked at the military watch on his wrist and set an alarm clock at 3 a.m. at less than 8 o'clock in the evening.
Putting away the water and compressing the biscuits, Jiang Xiao put the dagger at his hand and lay down on his backpack.
In the warm fire, Jiang Xiao's sleepiness became stronger and stronger. In the hazy, he heard Jian Wen's crisp and refreshing laughter, and saw Jian Wen's sweet and warm smile beside the fire...
Jiang Xiao stretched out his hand to touch the cute face, but that face suddenly disappeared into the endless darkness.
"Xiaowen!" Jiang Xiao woke up suddenly with sweat on his head, and found that his hand was still stretching out, listening to the endless sound of wind and rain in the night outside, and weakly retracted his hand.
The fire gradually faded and went out, and Jiang Xiao added some firewood to it.
The rising flames warmed the hole again...
Chapter completed!
