Chapter 3: Cats and Mouse
Midnight at half past eleven.
A bright moon hung high in the sky.
Luo Yun looked at the hoarfrost on the weeds on the side of the road, and then looked at the short shirt and pants on his body, and at the same time felt the warmth of his whole body like spring.
Frost falls at the end of October.
Frost falls in the north, and the minimum temperature at night is close to freezing.
More than 20 years of common sense told him that it was time for him to get dressed, but his whole body felt that he was very warm now, very warm, like staying in a warm summer.
Walking in the wilderness at night, he could feel the coldness of the wind when the wind blew through it, but even so, his whole body still felt warm, even if the cold wind blew on his skin.
Such a sense of conflict finally formed an indescribable awkwardness in his heart.
But from eight o'clock in the evening all the way to the present, he did not feel tired, nor did he feel any other discomfort, and gradually, Luo Yun ignored the awkward feeling in his heart.
Twelve o'clock in the night.
Looking up at the sky and looking at the stars in the sky, time naturally appeared in Luo Yun's mind.
Bowing his head, he took an empty kettle from the warehouse, twisted the lid of it, and filled it with it from a small stream on the side of the road.
Although there are still four full water bottles left, it is always good to keep an adequate source of drinking water whenever and wherever you want, and he doesn't care about the weight when he has a storage warehouse.
In the sound of gurgling water bubbles, in the clear moonlight, he saw a few small shrimp scattering in all directions.
Swimming shrimp, also known as a natural water quality discriminator, their fragile constitution cannot survive in any polluted waters, so once there are swimming shrimp in a certain water, this water must be a drinking grade water source.
And at this moment, a cold wind blew that was not too violent, and Luo Yun, who was tightening the cap of the bottle, suddenly shivered all over his body.
"It's strange, it wasn't cold just now, why is it so cold all of a sudden"
The sudden cold gave him the feeling that he had just taken off his heavy thermal coat in cold weather.
It's cold, yes, but he didn't do anything just now!
Could it be that the pot of water has destroyed the dragon vein, so it has destroyed his own body protection true qi?
However, before he could be surprised by the sudden chill, a grumbling hunger rushed through his belly.
At the same time, his body gave two clear messages.
You'll need a warm fur coat.
You need to eat.
Putting away the kettle, Luo Yun, who felt inexplicable, subconsciously sniffed.
His nasal cavity was very clear and there was no sluggishness, and then he measured the temperature on his forehead with his hand.
And didn't catch a cold.
It's weird...
After muttering a word of confusion, he took out a large cardboard box from the warehouse.
The yellow cardboard box has several large bold letters on it.
20 self-heating food for individual soldiers, 30 packets per box.
Opening the box, he took out a packet of self-heating food for individual soldiers, the bag was about the size of an elementary school book, and he also weighed it with his hands.
Only a little more than a kilogram,
There shouldn't be enough to eat··
So he took another pack from the cardboard box.
Putting the carton back in the warehouse, Luo Yun carefully looked at the two packets of self-heating food in front of him.
Meal 11: 600g fried rice with diced chicken, 100g shelf-stable cake, 100g beef sausage, 100g yellow peach in syrup, 10g bechamel sauce.
Meal Pu 17: 600g fried rice with diced pork with pickled cabbage, 100g shelf-stable scones, 100g beef with sauce, 100g pineapple in syrup, 10g sauce.
Open the package, take out the heating belt, fill it with stream water, and then put the food into the heating bag and roll it repeatedly.
Ten minutes later, he opened the food bag, looked at the steaming fried rice in front of him, curled his tongue, and then began to wreath.

An area of seven kilometers north outside Wanping City.
Twelve and five p.m.
Izumi put down his binoculars and waved his hand, signaling his squad to assemble.
The squad department, which was supposed to be seven people, is now only four people, but Ito Izumi doesn't care, as the second-line brigade of the B-level division, it is normal to be dissatisfied with the formation, and he was just promoted to the squad leader three days ago, and the current four people are enough for the team to communicate.
"Take the complete detachment as a unit, enter the mountains and forests to search, prohibit shooting unless necessary, and try to capture alive"
After giving the order, the four liaison officers of the team headquarters ran away one after another, leaving only him and Cao Chang (deputy captain).
"Ito-kun, it's dangerous to search the mountains at night," Cao Chang expressed his concern.
"Shigeno-kun is too worried" picked up the binoculars again and looked at the small mountains and forests in the distance through the bright moonlight, Ito Izumi's face was relaxed.
"Two squads, a total of 98 people, repeatedly pursued in a roundabout way for six hours"
"There were only four of the enemy, and there was no food, no water, and the only pistol had been damaged"
"Now that they have reached the limit of their physical and mental strength, it is impossible for them to organize an effective counterattack"
"And it's just a few hundred meters wide mountain pack, and there are no dangerous places"
"So, it's just a night raid and a forest search training"
Putting down the binoculars, Ito Izumi smiled confidently at the corner of his mouth.
"Hi," Cao Chang bowed his head.

"What the hell does the little devil want to do?" In the depths of the mountains and forests, Wang He gasped for breath, and at the same time said hatefully,
After more than six hours of continuous pursuit, even he could see that something was wrong.
The little devil didn't seem to want to catch them directly, and hung like this all the time.
And every time they are about to run into the mountains and forests, there will always be a team of devils from the front to force them to change their route, and there are obviously many opportunities to surround them, but the little devils will always intentionally or unintentionally leave a way out.
Circumference three times can be understood as a mistake, but seven or eight times is obviously deliberate.
The strangest thing is that the little devils have not fired a gun since they pursued for so long, although they have been holding their guns and looking like they are aiming, but they just don't fire a shot, even when they are running away in the wilderness, the little devils are just silently chasing behind.
Even if Brother Nuo got a pistol hidden in the mountains and forests not long ago and shot at the devils, the little devils only stepped back a little, and had no intention of fighting back, and it was because of this that they ran into the mountains and forests.
Is this trying to be captured alive?
Hum! Thinking of this, a trace of fierceness flashed in Wang He's eyes.
It's just a pity that the gun broke.
Looking back at Brother Nuo who was squatting under the tree and tinkering with the damaged pistol, a trace of pity flashed in Wang He's eyes, the gun exploded when he shot just now, otherwise he might really create an opportunity to escape.
"Let's go, find a place to hide, the little devils will inevitably gather if they want to go into the woods, and we will have a chance to pass through the encirclement" Throwing the broken gun on the ground, Brother Nuo stood up and said in a deep voice.
Everyone didn't speak, nodded and silently got up to follow.

After eating and drinking, Luo Yun, who was full of burps, was preparing to make a fire to keep warm.
However, as soon as he stood up, he found that he didn't seem to be cold again, and the warm summer feeling returned.
It's...
Feeling the warmth that permeated his whole body, feeling the still cold air, and remembering the big bucket of fried chicken he had eaten in the afternoon, he suddenly understood something.
I burn energy to keep warm, no wonder I'm hungry so fast.
Silently counting the amount of food in the warehouse, seeing that the food was enough for him for several weeks, Luo Yun was relieved, looked at the crescent moon above his head and continued on the road.
