Chapter 11: An Unexpected Contest

I didn't have much thought about the tournament I was going to participate in, after all, it didn't matter to me whether I made it or not. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info Or maybe my heart is actually more inclined to be eliminated, and then go to be an ordinary soldier, and go back to college after two years of military service. If it weren't for my father's insistence, I wouldn't have been willing to join the army. However, everything has become a certainty, and since you have joined the army, you must put aside all distractions. Anyway, I can't see the scenery outside the window, so it's better to sleep well, and when I get to the ground, maybe there will be some drudgery. So I went to sleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly I felt someone slap me, so I woke up from my sleep and wanted to open my eyes to see who had slapped me. But I remembered that I couldn't take off my blindfold, and just as I was about to speak, I heard the instructor's voice: "Take off your blindfold." "I took off my blindfold, and that's when I realized that on the helicopter, except for the pilot, there were just me and the instructor. There was a hint of horror in my heart.

"The joust has begun, we'll hover over this primeval forest, you'll be roped down alone, and you'll be on your way to the base camp alone. This backpack has your gear. With that, the instructor handed me a backpack.

"In the bag was a saber, a kettle, a watch, a compass, a map, and a satellite phone. Except for the satellite phone, you can use everything else you want. The only use of the satellite phone is to abstain from voting, and the phone has a pre-stored headquarters phone, as long as you dial the headquarters number, within an hour, a helicopter will come to pick you up. The headquarters will monitor your location in real time through satellite phones, once the positioning information does not change for more than 3 hours during the day and no change for more than 6 hours at night, the headquarters will automatically judge that you are in danger and send a helicopter to respond. Remember, the primeval forest is dangerous, and you could die in it, and now you have a chance to give up. ā€

If you give up, you should stay on the plane, but everyone else is gone, so no one gives up. "I choose to challenge."

"The location of the base camp is already marked on the map, and where you are now, 100 kilometers in a straight line, with no time limit until you reach the base camp, or you choose to give up. In this primeval forest, you can do anything but kill people without any legal responsibility. Attach this epaulette to your clothes, and when you get to the base camp, the guards will let you in when they see the epaulettes, otherwise you can't enter. With that, he handed me the epaulettes.

"Good luck!"

I strapped my backpack and rappelled to the ground. Although I didn't learn to rappel, I was good at being physically fit, and it just took a little more time. As soon as I reached the ground, the helicopter flew away, leaving me alone. I had to sort out my thoughts. After all, primeval forests are no joke. Clear thinking and accurate logical reasoning are very important to me now. The first thing I have to do now is find a vantage point, observe my surroundings, and make a plan that works. I looked at my watch, it was 3:27 p.m., it was summer, which meant I still had four hours or so to spare, and once night fell, I would not be able to move an inch.

The place I am in is supposed to be a valley, the valley is low, there should be water, I have to fill my jug first, without water it is very dangerous for me. I looked around and saw that there were a few tall trees about 200 meters in my direction of two o'clock, and I judged that there might be water in that place, so I walked over. Sure enough, there is a small spring in the shade of the trees, which is generally drinkable because it has been filtered by the soil and rocks. I drank some spring water, then filled the jug and washed my face again. The primeval forest is humid and stuffy, and walking in it is a huge drain on physical energy. After filling up with water, I didn't dare to stop and rest, so I set off directly to the nearest mountaintop. Although I felt very hot, I did not dare to take off my coat because mosquito bites in the primeval forest were also fatal.

Walking in the primeval forest, you must prepare yourself with a walking stick, which can help you find your way, keep you away from many dangers, and can even be used as a weapon for self-defense. You don't know where there will be poisonous snakes or a pothole, so you have to be careful every step of the way, there will be certain poisonous plants in the primeval forest, so try not to let your skin come into contact with any plants, although these toxins are not fatal, but it is not a good thing to make your skin allergic. It took me nearly two hours to finally reach the top of the mountain, which was so dense with trees that I couldn't see my surroundings at all, so I thought I'd climb to the canopy of the trees to take a look.

The trees in the primeval forest are very thick, but fortunately there are countless vines entangled, so it is not so difficult to climb. It took about 20 minutes to finally climb to a place where you could see the surrounding scenery. As far as the eye can see, there are only mountains and vast primeval forests. I took out a map and compass from my backpack, the map was detailed, and the contour lines were marked. I judged by the map that the altitude of my location should be about 1800 meters. The base camp is to the southwest of me, and the altitude of the base camp should be 1400 meters. From the map, the base camp should be located in a basin with an area of about 40,000 square meters. There are no roads around. It seems that it is a place dedicated to training special forces, deep in the primeval forest, inaccessible, and all supplies should be airlifted. It seems that I will have to stay in this deep mountain forest for a few years in the future. I put away my map and compass and looked at my watch, it was already 6:37 p.m. I looked up at the top of the tree and found some yellow fruits, I tried to climb up the canopy, picked a few fruits, and found that they seemed to be legendary figs. I've seen in "Animal World" that monkeys love to eat figs. At this time, I am glad that I have watched a few episodes of "Animal World".

The fruit grows in places that are difficult to reach and difficult to pick. But I still have to try to pick it, after all, I probably have no other food to eat tonight than these fruits. After a lot of hard work, I finally picked about 30 fruits, which took a lot of physical energy. I looked at my watch, and it was 7:05. I went back to the surface and started thinking about sleeping tonight. You can't sleep on the ground, and it's not so easy to sleep on the trees. I figured I should get myself a hammock. It's a hassle, but it's absolutely necessary.
