【160】 Drinking water
Yesterday's swim made Wan Kang and the others still scared when they woke up in the morning. What if, what if something goes wrong? The boat doesn't work either!
Just feed the sea fish.
"I quit!" British soldier Lucas said with trembling lips. He is still glad that he got on the boat in time and saved his life.
"Absolutely." Ogoodly said expressionlessly, "Anyone can withdraw at any time. However, after withdrawing, the reserved quotas for those who passed the physical fitness test will no longer be retained."
"I don't need to keep it." The British soldier said decisively, "I want to return home."
The British soldiers left, and no one expressed regret.
Scoville was very disdainful, "It would be great if there were American soldiers here. He could follow behind and have the confidence."
"Don't talk too much!" Ogudeli interrupted Scoville, "Don't talk about your teammates, just take care of yourself!"
Scoville lowered his head. He did not dare to confront Ogudeli. Perhaps it was a psychological effect. He felt fear when he saw the fierce commander in front of him.
"I have good news for you today." Ogoodly looked at the remaining five people, "Due to time constraints, our training was very rushed."
"Is it over?" Scoville's eyes showed the joy of victory.
"It can be said to be over. There is one more thing." Ogudeli shrugged, "There are still many more. You need to master parachuting, skiing, fighting, blasting, reconnaissance, rescue, search, communication, eavesdropping and other technologies.
Be proficient in using various firearms and adapt to various combat environments, including plains
, mountains, jungles and streets, and you must adapt to night fighting. Of course, the most important thing is that you must learn to escape. For example, in an isolated and helpless environment with no water or food, you must know how to survive. Only by surviving can you continue.
Complete the mission! This is what you must go through."
Wan Kang was dumbfounded. If he had learned all those skills, he would still be a human being.
"Okay, there is only survival training left, everyone, cheer up!" Ogudeli raised his voice, "Between now and tomorrow morning, take a good rest, and then we will set off. There is a long way to go.
Waiting for you! Also, our team will welcome a new member, Santos from the Philippines, and he will go on the road with you tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Wan Kang and the others were herded into a military vehicle. The vehicle was wrapped in tarpaulin, leaving only a ventilation hole in it.
No one asked where we were going, and it was in vain to ask.
When parking the car, Wankang saw such a beautiful scene for the first time. The endless jungle, with too many trees, colorful at different seasons, mixed with green, yellow, red and purple. In the distance, there are looming mountains, phantoms in the mist
It appears to be a mystery.
"Your journey lies ahead," Ogudeli said, "through the jungle and over the mountains."
"You're kidding, sir." Santos frowned and walked out of the team, "If you go into this kind of primitive forest, you will undoubtedly die. There are also those high mountains. The light is not good now, so you can't see anything, but you will know when you get close.
Even though it’s warm as spring below the mountain, it’s covered in heavy snow above. Do you want us to just climb over like this?”
"What do you want?" Ogoodly asked.
"I want to go back, even if I become an ordinary special police officer." Santos said, "It's better than dying here!"
"Okay," Ogudeli said with a sarcastic expression, "but I don't understand. You insist on transferring from another team. Is it just to retreat?"
"Santos, it's great to go back and become a special police officer. All the police in your country are good." Wan Kang interrupted, "Don't shoot kidnappers, only shoot hostages!"
"Shit!" Santos was immediately irritated, gave Wan Kang a vicious look, and walked into the team.
Wan Kang regretted it. Originally, what he said to Santos was just to express the emotions of a Chinese person, but he didn't expect that it actually angered him and made him return to the group. This is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger. Next, what will he face?
Not only the harsh living environment, but also attacks from Santos.
"Okay, I forgot to remind you that when you come here, you have no nationality. You are just a group performing a mission." Ogoodly looked at the time and said, "Bring your field knives and ten compressed biscuits. Of course, also
There is an important treasure, a small military bag, and there is everything you need."
Ogundeli took out a signal transmitter and waved it in front of Ficoville. He was temporarily appointed as the team leader. If someone's life is in danger, he can send a distress message and the helicopter will rescue him in time.
A smile appeared on Fikeville's face, "Thank you, sir!"
Ogoodly straightened up and said, "Okay, guys, let's go!"
This is really a scary forest, even more scary in the foggy weather.
The tall tree crowns are almost intertwined into an airtight net, blocking the sky. Unknown vines climb on the tree trunks. Some exposed tree roots are covered with moss. Low and occasional rivers are dark green.
The water in the river is frightening. Maybe there is a hungry crocodile lurking under the water, or a weird fish that cannot be named, waiting to tear off the fresh leg meat.
"Try not to wade in the water." Fikeville showed his team leader's demeanor, and the group of six people moved forward cautiously.
"I wonder what kind of wild beasts there will be here." Santos almost said to himself, "If it's a wolf or leopard, even a wild boar or a bear, it's not that scary."
"You mean there's a monster?" Fikeville asked.
"Maybe there are things we have never seen before." Santos said, "There are also venomous snakes. How come there are so few venomous snakes in a place like this? One bite from one will kill you!"
"It's okay." Fikeville smiled softly, "If the poisonous snake bites your hand, I will cut it off in time."
Santos looked at Ficoville angrily, "I hope it's your hand that's cut off."
The moving speed was very slow, with dense weeds and mixed thorns. There were occasional open areas, but the dead tree trunks and branches made him even more dismayed. Giant rats hid in them, and their sharp teeth could bite through the uppers of shoes in one go.
Time passed very quickly, and although we didn't go far, judging from the level of hunger, it should be noon.
Everyone sat around a boulder and gnawed on compressed biscuits. There was no water, so a team member went to the river, wrapped broad leaves into a cone-shaped container, poured some, and prepared to drink it.
"Stupid!" Fikeville shouted, "the terrible parasite will bite out your intestines!"
Yes, Ficoville is right. It is not easy to get reliable drinking water in the virgin forest. There are more microorganisms in the river than imagined, and many parasites are active. Even if it is boiled, it is still dangerous. On the ground
Rare puddles should not be used easily, as there may be venom left behind by poisonous insects and snakes after drinking the water.
Wan Kang has read a lot of books on survival in the wild. Whether it is jungles, mountains, deserts or oceans, they all have survival skills. There are certain skills in obtaining water, food, fire and shelter. In other words, there are certain skills in obtaining water, food, fire and shelter.
It is a rule that must be followed.
A thick vine plant was selected. From a height of about 30 centimeters above the ground, Wan Kang cut off the stem with a field knife to form a stump nearly 40 centimeters in diameter.
Wan Kang continued to swing his field knife and dug a hole the size of a bowl in the tree stump. After a while, the hole was filled with water.
Santos, who was almost fainting from thirst, did not act recklessly. He always maintained a hostile attitude towards Wan Kang and would not easily drink the water Wan Kang brought.
Ficoville took a hollow stem, broke both ends to form a straw, and walked over to drink it. However, Wan Kang stopped him decisively, "Ficoville, don't worry, if your sense of taste is almost numb, you can drink it now.
"Wan Kang said, using a long leaf to pick out the water in the hole.
After about three times, when the cave was filled with water again, Wan Kang took a sip and said, "Okay, you can drink now, otherwise you will suffer to death!"
Ficoville is grateful. When he was in his country's special forces, he had not been trained in these things. "Be humble to each other, don't just think about yourself, everyone has to add something!" Ficoville played the role of a team leader.
effect.
"Team leader, we can dig more water holes like this." Santos never moved, "This may be more efficient."
"It makes sense." Ficoville nodded, but no suitable plants were found around him. There are big trees everywhere, but you can only use a thin field knife to cut them, otherwise it will consume too much physical energy. "Santos, the conditions are not good.
More water holes are allowed to be dug, but this one is the most suitable." Ficoville waved his head and motioned for Santos to come over and drink water.
Physical needs outweighed mental resistance. Although Santos was unwilling to accept it, he still came over and took a few sips. Wan Kang looked at him with gentle eyes, hoping to ease the relationship with him. But Santos did not look at him and drank the water.
Then he turned his head and moved to the side.
This made Wan Kang very angry. Although he came from a country with great etiquette, he still felt an instinctive aversion to such a paranoid and arrogant guy. Moreover, Wan Kang could also feel Santos' murderous intent towards him, which made him very uneasy.
Ficoville was a little funny. He took out a small water bag he had brought with him and hoped to fill it up.
"Ficoville, you can't do that!" Wan Kang stopped him in time.
Fikeville was very surprised. He thought Wankang was trying to be exclusive. "Wankang, you found the water source, but now we are a team. We must consider our survival as much as possible. It is necessary to store some water."
"This kind of water can only be used fresh. It will ferment after more than ten hours. If you drink it then, you won't be able to vomit it!" Wan Kang said, "This is not an alarmist. If you don't believe me, try it."
Fikeville shrugged helplessly, "Okay, I believe you."
As the team continued to move forward, everyone's insecurities gradually became more acute. Water supplies were scarce at the beginning, and the food only consisted of ten compressed biscuits.
Chapter completed!
