Chapter 20 Arriving at the base

Set up the tent, it was already 6:35. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info had dinner and everyone sat around the fire to rest. The tiredness of the day made everyone feel a little tired. "From eight o'clock in the evening, everyone can rest, but the fire cannot be extinguished, so we will be on duty in shifts until six o'clock tomorrow morning, two hours per person. Zhuang Yan, Wang Hao, me, Zhiyuan, and Chunshui were on duty in turn. Tomorrow morning at six o'clock we spend about four hours preparing the day's food, and the rest of the time we go to the woodyard to prepare the materials for the shipbuilding. This should be the case for the next few days. ”

In a few days, we prepared a lot of materials for shipbuilding, which should be enough to build a ship with a load of about one ton. In fact, a small canoe can carry a ton, but we can't take the risk, after all, I don't want to sail 200 nautical miles in a canoe. Just as we were about to start building a ship, it suddenly started raining. So we had to put down what we were doing and go back to the tent to shelter from the rain.

"Since it's raining and we can't work outside, let's take this time to study the details of shipbuilding!" Everyone nodded, and then came over.

"The conditions were limited, so my plan was to build a wooden raft, and we didn't have a strong rope, so I wanted to use a tenon-rivet structure to secure the hull, so that the raft would be stronger, although it might take us more time. I've observed that the west wind sometimes blows on the island these days, so we can use the west wind to move forward, which will save some time. While he was talking, Zhang Shuai and his group of five people walked over.

"What are you doing here?" Wang Hao asked unceremoniously.

They were all wet, they should have been drenched in heavy rain, "Let's take shelter from the rain first!" Zhuang Yan burned the fire a little hotter. I got up and motioned for them to come into the tent.

"If you have come to take shelter from the rain, and when the rain has ceased you will go; If you are here to carry out a mission together and return to the base, then everything is under my command from now on. I didn't wait for Zhang Shuai to speak, so I said it directly.

"We're here to go back to base with you." Zhang Shuai didn't speak, but Xiang Feng on the side answered me.

After another seven days, the hull was almost installed, a little slower than expected, and all that was left to do was to make the sails and a few oars, as well as to prepare enough fresh water and some food.

After eleven days on a desert island, we finally had everything we needed, and now we just had to wait for the west wind to blow and we were ready to go.

"Let's go!" I gave the order, and we all pushed the boat into the sea. The sea was calm, there were no strong winds and waves, and with the help of the west wind, I slowly sailed into the depths of the sea.

"This well-made ship is stable!" Wang Hao sighed.

After twenty hours of sailing, we arrived at another isolated island, which on the map showed that it was about 80 nautical miles from the base. The ship was still well stocked, so I decided to take advantage of the west wind to continue sailing. After another 15 hours of sailing, we reached the base. Before the ship docked, we saw Instructor Long from a distance, beside Instructor Long, and Captain He.

At 6:08 a.m., after a 35-hour voyage, we arrived at the base.

"Line up." As soon as we landed, Instructor Long lined us up.

"Report to the chief, the troops have been assembled, please instruct."

"Get in the queue."

"Yes."

"Congratulations on your successful arrival at the Qiongnan Naval Base after thirteen days of hard work. From today, you will be trained here in amphibious warfare on land, sea and air. From now on, you are the Shadow Tiger Commando directly under the Phantom Special Brigade, the captain Gu Cheng, and the instructor Long Baichuan. Your commando team is under my direct command, and from now on, you have no name, only a code name, give you a night to think of your code name. Now, you follow the Dragon Instructor to your new camp. Disband. ”

Commando Captain, it doesn't seem to be of any use! However, I could only obey orders.

Time has been going on, from the first arrival at the Qiongnan Naval Base to the present, a year has passed. Today, I have grown into a real special soldier. Now, in addition to training, we will also perform some special tasks. However, in peacetime, most of the time is still spent on training.

"Sabertooth Tiger (my code name), I'm thinking about your girlfriend again!"

I didn't answer the Siberian tiger (Wang Hao), but just continued to look at Xirui's photo. It's been more than a year since I've been separated from Xirui, and I don't know how she's doing now, maybe she's thinking about me too, or maybe she's forgotten about me. There is only a three-year covenant between me and Ciri.

Suddenly, Instructor Long walked in. "Saber-toothed tiger."

"Here."

"Come to my office."

"Yes."

I'm a little puzzled, Instructor Long usually says things directly, why did I call me to the office this time? Although I was a little puzzled, I followed Instructor Long to the office.

"There's a new quest for you." Instructor Long said solemnly.

"Give me someone?"

"Yes, you're alone."

"Oh."

"You go back and get ready, and you'll leave in half an hour."

"Leaving so soon!" I have a vague feeling that this mission is not easy.

"Yes, you can go back and prepare."

"Okay."

When I returned to the dormitory, I felt a little sad. There's nothing to prepare, all I have to do is say goodbye to everyone.

"Everybody, come here." Hearing my words, everyone came over and stood in a neat line.

"It's not a gathering, everyone just relaxes and sits down."

"What's wrong?" Siberian Tiger asked.

"I sent a mission above, I don't know what it is, but from Instructor Long's tone, I can feel that this mission is not simple. So I'll probably be away for a while, and I'll be gone in half an hour. Let everyone come over, just say goodbye to everyone. "There was a hint of melancholy on everyone's faces.

"Can I bring equipment with me on this mission?" The Siberian tiger asked me.

"I didn't say it, I should be able to bring it." After listening to my answer, the Siberian tiger walked to his cabinet and took out something.

"Take this saber with you, you've always said you like it." The Siberian tiger handed me his most beloved saber.

"This is the prize you got for participating in the competition, you keep it as a souvenir, your friendship, brother, I understand it." I patted the Siberian tiger on the shoulder.

"Sabertooth Tiger, I'm not here to give you the knife, you go on a mission this time, although you will be away for a while, but you will always come back, and when you come back, you will return it to me. With it, there will always be a useful place. ”

"Okay, then I'll keep it for you for a while."

Just as I was saying goodbye to everyone, Instructor Long walked into the dormitory. So, everyone got up and lined up.

"No need to queue up, I'll just say a few words. As you may know, your captain has a mission, so during the saber-toothed tiger mission, the South China Tiger (Zhuang Yan) is the acting captain and is responsible for managing everyone's daily training tasks. With that, Instructor Long turned around and left.
