Chapter 14: Arrive at the base camp

I thought I would be able to reach the base camp in a week, but now it's been 8 days, and I'm still walking in the river. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info from the map I am not far from the base camp, walk about ten kilometers again, you can go out of the river from the forest to the base camp. It was getting late, and I thought I had set up camp and the rest of the way should be done tomorrow. I found a suitable place and then cut a lot of branches with leaves and spread them on the ground, this is my bed, since there is fire, I don't have to sleep far from the ground, because most wild animals are afraid of fire, and fire also repells insects. After making the bed, I lit a fire and went fishing with my homemade fishing tools. I've been here for the past few days, because I have to spend time looking for food every day, so my walking speed is much slower.

As luck would have it, I caught a big fish of about half a catty, which is the biggest fish I have caught in the past few days. I've eaten all the prey I can catch these days, including a non-venomous snake, and in fact I've encountered some venomous snakes, but I don't want to catch them unless it's a last resort, because under extreme conditions, venomous snakes can also be eaten, as long as the venomous head is removed. I grilled all the fish I caught and ate it to my heart's content.

With the fire, the night was a little better, but it was still so long. I couldn't think much about it anymore because I was tired, I just wanted to get a good night's sleep and try to reach the base camp tomorrow.

At 6:01 a.m., I woke up from my sleep, the fire beside me had not been extinguished, and I decided to go find something to eat. For the past few days, I have camped in the evening in search of food, but today I decided to find something to eat first, and then I walked to the base camp in one go.

At 7:35 a.m., after eating some food, I started to set off. I threw away those homemade tools because I was sure that I could get to the base camp today. For more than a week, we had a decent meal and didn't get a good rest, which made my body extremely tired, so I could only travel about two kilometers per hour.

The last stretch of the road is often the most difficult. But I know that the base camp is not the end, but the starting point, the starting point of my special forces career, although the instructor said that some people will be eliminated, but I don't think I will be eliminated. Special forces training is not just as simple as surviving in the wilderness, and the road ahead will be even more difficult.

At 12:10 p.m., I finally walked to the section of the river I had planned, which was only 5 kilometers away from the base camp. Tired and hungry, I felt a half-hour rest, and then headed for the base camp. I found a shady place to sit down, and after four hours of continuous walking, my body was close to its limit, and the rest of the journey could only rely on willpower.

At 12:40, I set off again. I hadn't gone far when I was overjoyed to find that there was a path in the primeval forest, and more importantly, it was in the direction of the base camp, which was really good news for me. If there are ready-made roads, then the distance of 5 kilometers may not take an hour. I picked up my pace and followed the path.

At 1:53 p.m., I saw a watchtower with a sentry armed with a submachine gun standing on the tower. I know, I've arrived at base camp. Before I could get close to the gate, a sentry shouted at me, "Stop, what are you doing?" ”

"Recruit check-in!" I stood there and replied from afar.

"Are there epaulettes?"

"Yes."

"Come here."

I walked over and the sentry looked at my epaulettes. "Report, there are new recruits for the tournament arriving, please instruct." The sentry said into the walkie-talkie.

"Roger." With that, he looked at me. "Yes, it's a good seedling, let's go in! Someone will pick you up. ”

I hadn't gone far before I saw a familiar face. That's right, the instructor who threw me into the wilderness.

"Congratulations on passing the test and reaching the base camp. From August 18th to now, you have spent ten days. Now, your task is to follow this doctor to check your body. The instructor pointed to a military doctor next to me and said to me.

"Yes." With that, I followed the doctor.

After doing some basic examinations, the doctor said that there was no major problem, but for the sake of my health, the army would give me some nutritious meals and some medicine to help me recover. After the medical examination, the instructor took me to the cafeteria. After eating the nutritious meal of the troops, I took a good shower and changed my clothes. The instructor told me that I could rest, after all, I was still a new recruit and needed a good rest after so many days in the field. It was strange to me that I was the only one in the dorm room, and I didn't know why.

I had a good dinner for the first time in 10 days, and now I can finally get a good night's sleep. As soon as I got to bed, all my thoughts were gone, and I just wanted to sleep until dawn.

When I woke up, it was already 10:15 the next morning. I didn't expect that I could sleep lazily in the army, which was really unexpected. I walked around the camp and was surprised to see that there weren't many people, and I didn't see the instructors. But when I first arrived in the army, I didn't know anything, except for the instructors, so I didn't know what to do for a while. At this time, I remembered that the military doctor told me yesterday that I had to go to the infirmary again today, and I took this opportunity to ask him.

I went to the infirmary and saw the doctor who examined me yesterday. As soon as I entered the infirmary, I couldn't wait to ask him, "Why are there only a few people in the camp?" What did everyone else do? ”

"The troops have daily training every day, everyone else goes to training, and only a few people stay on duty." The doctor said to me.

yes, I'm a bit stupid and can't even think of such a simple question, maybe it's because I've been in the wild for too long these days. "You said yesterday that I should come back today, is there anything else?" I asked the doctor.

"Check again today to see if your indicators are back to normal, and make sure you are healthy."

"Oh, then why don't I see other recruits?"

The doctor smiled and said, "Maybe you don't know it yet, but you're the first recruit to return to the base camp. The others haven't come back yet. ”

Yes! It turned out that I was the first to come back. But come to think of it, if everyone is that far away, I guess it's quite difficult, and I'm lucky that there is a river as a shortcut.
