Thirty-six hours later, the eight teams finally landed on the island, which is 60 kilometers away.

Because the eight teams participating in the competition represent China's most elite special forces, even this uninhabited desert island has a special militarized name...... C Island!

As soon as the eight teams stepped into Island C, they divided into eight directions and began to explore the entire island, and after six hours, through collective action, they finally determined that it was an island with a size of 1.5 square kilometers.

The island is located in a tropical ocean, and the annual temperature changes very little, so it can be said that it is summer all year round. The substrate of the island is a saline environment, and only extreme halophytes can grow here. Therefore, in the vast majority of the entire island, the plants are made of sea tung, sea sword bean, and jatropha tree.

Nature is magical, and it can often use long years to create some seemingly impossible miracles. Around this island, a large number of seabirds live. These seabirds, including white-bellied brown boobies, seagulls, and red-footed boobies, have lived on Island C for hundreds or even thousands of years, and they live by preying on fish in the sea, and the feces excreted from their bodies accumulate year after year, forming a thick layer of guano slate. On this hot and rainy island, the scales in guano continue to penetrate downwards and cement until a unique "guano scale mine" is formed. Because of this, in some parts of the island, some strange growth zones have appeared, in which you can find the most famous coconut trees, jackfruit, and papaya, which makes people can't help but have an appetite at a glance.

Under the blue sky, in the gently rippling sea, this island, which is more than 20 meters above the sea horizon, is full of intoxicating lush greenery, with more than 1,000 milliliters of rainfall per year, coupled with a special geological structure, so that there is no shortage of drinkable fresh water on the surface. Hundreds of edible species of marine fish, combined with giant sea turtles, colorful sea shells, crabs crawling on the beach and handfuls of seaweed, form an entire tropical island ecosystem.

But the most surprising thing is that on this island, the Wind Shadow House and they find an abandoned cabin.

The hut is made entirely of logs, with ventilation windows on all sides, and rows of broken wooden frames. Inside the wooden house, there was a fire pit more than two feet deep, with a few stones piled up around it, and there were ashes of charcoal, but judging from their color and the texture of their tentacles, it had probably been a few years since anyone entered the cabin.

"This wooden house is supposed to have been built by fishermen who fish at sea all year round. If there is a good harvest of fish caught that day, and it is beyond the possibility of selling it directly, they will hang the fish in these wooden huts, and take advantage of the high temperature and sea breeze of the island to dry the fish directly into dried fish that can be stored for a long time. ”

Li Fan's hometown is in Hainan, he grew up by the sea since he was a child, he is used to seeing a series of fishing boats, and he is more familiar with various folk rules on the sea. The sea, when gentle, is the most enchanting harbor, and within her, there are inexhaustible treasures; But once she turns her face, she will really kill someone. Therefore, this kind of wooden house is sometimes a place where people who sail out to sea to fish can save their lives and even have a hot meal. Whoever used how much food, how much firewood, and how much rice they used here, the next time they passed by, they would try to make up for it. In this way, it is convenient for others and for oneself. ”

Li Fan did not say anything more, during the reform and opening up in the 80s, coastal cities were the fastest growing and the first batch because of their unique geographical advantages, and now more than 20 years have passed, and everyone has money in their pockets. However, in order to prevent others from stealing all the fish they had worked so hard to catch, no one was willing or dared to dry the fish on such a remote island.

Come to think of it, even the manhole cover on the road is stolen by people who lack morality, not to mention this kind of dried fish that can be sold for thousands of dollars if it is dried in a room? !

Li Fan really didn't know whether the wooden house in front of him, which had been abandoned for a long time, represented social progress, or whether they also lost something when they gained something.

After systematically combing the entire island and making sure that there were no large beasts that could attack humans, the eight participating teams each chose their own camping site.

In order to maintain sufficient buoyancy, each of them threw away their firearms before jumping into the water, leaving only a combat saber and a military water bottle. They had no tents, no hammocks, no sleeping bags, not even the most basic shovels.

Faced with this situation, Fengyinglou and the partners around him looked at each other and smiled. Probably everyone remembered the "soul gate" test they received before stepping into the school gate.

At that time, even if they had read the field survival manual, their practical ability was almost zero, and it was an incredible thing for them to draw fibers from tree bark to weave fishing line, or to make fishing hooks out of animal bones or hard wood.

But now, doing something like this is as simple as everyday life for them.

In front of Yang Liang was a row of straight-grained hardwoods about thirty centimeters long and three centimeters thick. He sharpened the tip of the wood fifteen centimeters into a knife edge, and the cutting edge should be off-center, avoiding the softest "wood pith" in the middle of the wood, and then put the blade on the fire and slowly baked, until the wooden blade appeared slightly browned, tied it to the wooden pole, and made a javelin that could be thrown directly and attacked the target.

With Yang Liang's field survival skills that he had practiced after lurking in the mountains for four whole years, even if he used this most primitive weapon, within thirty meters, once an animal appeared, it would be difficult to escape his javelin sniping.

The dragon king was even more exaggerated, he tied a stone to a rope that he kneaded from the bark of a tree and made a meteor hammer. With the Dragon King's amazing arm strength, coupled with his skillful fighting skills, he could directly throw this most primitive weapon more than eighty meters away. With this throwing weapon, even a boar with thick skin and thick flesh is likely to be stunned by a single blow. Even if it can't knock out the opponent, the rope behind the pop hammer will be put on the opponent's body and restrain its movement.

As for the Wind Shadow Building, the weapon he made for himself was a bow and arrow.

Find some leaf-shaped rocks, slam them to the ground, and then pick out the sharp triangular stone chips from them, put them on the whetstone, carefully polish them, install them on wooden poles, and make stable wings out of seabird feathers, and make a feathered arrow that is not to be underestimated, and has a high degree of hit. With a bow and arrow, you can not only hunt hares directly, but also birds that pass by from low altitudes, and you can use a rope tied to the tail of the arrow, stand on the shore, shoot fish swimming to the shallow sea, and drag it directly to your hand.

Xu Tingting, as a girl, did not make hunting weapons like Fengying Lou and them. The way she chooses is to collect birds' eggs. There are large flocks of seabirds living on this island, and they will never leave their homes easily because more than 100 people have broken in. These seabirds have a habit of incubating their offspring, often giving birth to seven or eight eggs before they concentrate on hatching. Stealing eggs while they're not there is definitely a good way to do that.

Watching Xu Tingting on the big tree, when she was in the crack of the stone, she took out the bird eggs one by one, and smiled at the little hand holding a hat full of bird eggs, but she kept shaking her head, and was still muttering to herself: "Alas, how can such a beautiful girl be so cruel!" What would you think if you were a mother and someone else abducted your child? Compare your heart to your heart, you shouldn't do that! ”

Xu Tingting smiled fiercely, "Didn't you see that I only took four eggs at most in each bird's nest?" ”

"Oh, I still have a few children." Xiao Xiaoxiao showed a relieved expression on her face, "I'll just say, a beautiful girl like you, her heart will definitely not be very bad, and there is room for doing things, very good, very good!" ”

"I'm going to you!"

Xu Tingting said: "I don't take away all the birds' eggs, nor do I destroy the bird's nest, just let the female bird not give up the current nest, haven't you found that I recorded the location of each bird's nest, as well as the time when the female went out to hunt?" Every four or five days, we will come to pick up the eggs, as long as we have this set of intelligence records, not to mention two weeks, that is, two months, we can also have fresh eggs to eat every day! ”

Xiao Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes for a long time, and then struggled to shout: "Your method, it's really arsenic mixed with chili peppers, poisonous and spicy!" ”

This kind of poisonous and spicy, which can be said to be a "stealing eggs" survival technique that cuts off children and grandchildren, is obviously not suitable for a girl like Chen Yan, who is much gentler than Xu Tingting. Therefore, Chen Yan's choice of hunting is still fishing.

Chen Yan asked the dragon king for help, and cut more than 100 wooden sticks more than three feet long, and she sharpened one end of these wooden sticks, and inserted a row of tree stumps diagonally on the beach where the sand ended, forming an angle with the coastline. Find a few more rocks and move them over to reinforce them, so that a fixed fishing trap is formed.

On the island, schools of fish regularly flock to the shore at high tide, and they often swim along the shoreline, bringing them up once the tide hits the beach, and when the tide recedes, they are blocked by a wall of wooden stakes that Chen Yan has set up in advance, and they are eventually forced to run aground.

Although this kind of fishing trap is very time-consuming and laborious to make, and it cannot be moved like a fishing net, once it is successfully made, it can be fixed with the ebb and flow of the tide every day, and it is very suitable for the needs of the Wind Shadow House for their two-week field survival training.

Among their participating teams, the oldest has actual combat experience, and in terms of field survival, the most senior is of course Instructor Xue Ningbo. Therefore, her job is not to look for food, but to prepare a camp for the participating team that night.

Xue Ningbo built a semi-fixed shelter. Even scouts can make such simple wooden houses out of natural materials and spread them with huge leaves to protect them from the rain, but a few members of the other teams were quickly surprised when they inadvertently passed by Xue Ningbo.

Xue Ningbo's biggest feature of doing these things is fast! Every movement of hers is like a gear on a clock, high speed and effectiveness, no hesitation, no mistakes, after watching for a long time, in the hearts of onlookers, there is a rhythm and comfort like a blistering cattle.

Judging by Xue Ningbo's work speed, she was able to build a sufficient number of shelters to withstand the sea breeze and rain before it got dark. Considering the changeable climate on the island and the frequent rain, Xue Ningbo even dug a small fire pit in each shelter, and after the rain the ground was wet, they could make a fire in the fire pit to barbecue food, and then cover the fire pit with mud, and then spread a bed composed of tree branches, which was enough to use the heat absorbed by the ground to feel warm and comfortable again.

Everything is being executed at high speed and efficiently, and similar scenes are being staged in every team almost at the same time.

Everyone has received the most rigorous field survival training in a similar situation, and everyone can easily survive in this environment. But in the case of insisting on high-intensity physical training without supplies, after two weeks, who can retain more physical strength, who can return to the provincial military region in the most vigorous state, compete in the real arena, and finally represent the Chinese special forces to participate in the second "Blue Shield" World Military Competition, then it needs to be verified by time!

When Fengyinglou made a sturdy and bullety bow and twenty-seven arrows, and collected them together, Li Fan, who was collecting and sorting out the topography, climate, and biological state of the island under their feet with the vice-captains of several other participating teams, ran directly to Fengyinglou and said in a deep voice: "Captain, something is in big trouble!" ”

Looking at Li Fan, who was running at high speed all the way, and was even a little out of breath, although Fengyinglou's face did not change at all, in his heart, he was suddenly shocked.

Li Fan is not a rookie who has just come out of the house, he once lived with the Dragon King, when Chen was killed on foot and had not yet joined the Wind Shadow Building, in the war assembly area where all forces were gathered and had already become the focus of the world's attention, survived for two months. If a strategist like him, who is known for his calmness, blurt out something like "he's in big trouble", the problems they encounter must be not small!

Attacked by a beast?

A team member is in the jungle, bitten by an animal such as a poisonous snake, and his life hangs by a thread?

Or who accidentally ingested poisonous food?

……

Fengyinglou was still in his heart, and Li Fan had already continued to report: "The members of the Eagle Special Brigade, when they were setting up a camp in the jungle, one of the team members used a self-made pickaxe to shovel a rectangular metal storage box, and we can now preliminarily conclude that it is a military product left over from the army during World War II. ”

Speaking of this, Li Fan took a step forward and whispered in the ear of Fengying Building: "On the metal box, there is the number of Unit 8604 of this wave, I didn't tell anyone else, but I can personally determine that what we inadvertently found on this island is a biological and chemical weapon made by this army during World War II!" ”

Biological weapons!

Feng Yinglou's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he quickly glanced left and right, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he also lowered his voice: "Are you sure?" ”

"Yes!" Li Fan nodded vigorously, "Captain, if you don't know what Unit 8604 of Yueben stationed in Guangzhou represents, you should always know Black Sun Unit 731, right?!" ”

The pupils of Fengyinglou's eyes suddenly contracted, as long as it was Chinese, who didn't know that the Black Sun 731 bacteriological unit that had dropped various biochemical viruses in most of China, killed at least tens of thousands of people, and finally used the dirtiest political transactions to escape the trial of the International Military Tribunal?!

"Unit 731 is the name of the bacteriological troops, they have a total of seven bacteriological combat units, including the 659 troops in the Harbin Kwantung Army, the 100 troops in Changchun, the 1855 troops of the North Branch in Yanjing, the Rongzi 1644 troops in Nanjing, the 9420 troops in Singapore, and the 8604 troops in Guangzhou!"

Speaking of this, even Li Fan's voice revealed a slight tremor: "On the lead seal on the outside of that metal box, there are three seals, if I am not misjudged, this metal box is from the First Bacteriological Research Department of this book, and is jointly sealed by the 'Takahashi Class' who studies plague, the 'Minato Class' who studies cholera and other diseases, and the 'Kasahara Class' who is engaged in filtering viruses and local terroir viruses." Although sixty years have passed since the date of the seal, no one dares to guarantee that the weapon in the metal box has become invalid. Captain...... This time, we might have actually hit the jackpot! ”

"Don't panic!"

Feng Yinglou's voice was not loud, but it revealed a powerful and incomparable confidence, "Even if the biological and chemical weapons in that metal box really don't fail, even if there are already quite a few of us, or even all of us, are within the coverage of that weapon, but Li Fan, don't forget, it's the twenty-first century now!" Our country is no longer the sick man of East Asia a few decades ago, when science and technology were absolutely backward and could only be allowed to be pointed at by others to show off their might! ”

Li Fan nodded vigorously. Looking at Feng Yinglou's eyes, he suddenly felt that all the fear and subconscious tremors were far away from him.

To tell the truth, Li Fan, who has experienced the most brutal war test, is not afraid of death, but as a strategic genius, he is born to think more and think far ahead of others, and because of this, the pressure accumulated in his heart and the terror he faces are much more than anyone else. If there is no person with strong self-confidence and leadership charisma, standing in front, but going to take charge of himself, a person like him will really go crazy sooner or later!

"Li Fan, have you ever considered that this biological and chemical weapon with considerable weight has been sleeping on the island for more than sixty years, and no one has found it, and we have only landed for less than a day before we triggered it, its appearance is too coincidental, and the coincidence is even a little incredible?"

Feng Yinglou thought about it and put forward another possibility, "Do you think that this emergency will be just a part of the qualifiers, just like the sudden torpedo attack when we were on a transport ship?" ”

Speaking of this, Feng Yinglou slapped his face and said, "By the way, in order to prevent the biochemical attacks of the East Turkistan organization, haven't the special forces across the country begun to receive training in unconventional counter-terrorist attacks?" I think this incident is probably tied to the security work of the Olympic Games, right? ”

Fengyinglou's speculation is also reasonable, Li Fan originally subconsciously wanted to nod, but the expression on his face couldn't relax. After a moment of silence, Li Fan suddenly said, "Captain, do you believe in a person's subconscious mind in the face of danger?" ”

Wind Shadow House nodded, of course he believed it.

I got acquainted with the instructors at school, and I once heard a story about the Vietnam War. At that time, there was a squad leader stationed at the forefront of the battlefield, and all the brothers around him were killed in the enemy's sneak attack, and even the last brother died in his arms because he drank the well water that had been poisoned by the enemy agents. With such hatred, he has lost contact with his superiors, and even the supply has been completely cut off, but he is still stuck alone in the cat's ear hole.

The long battle, the high degree of nervous compression, and the anger and grief of losing his brother made this squad leader fall into a state of madness, and only a madman would dig out the heart from the corpse of the enemy on the battlefield and use these things as his own food. As a result, when the follow-up troops finally got in touch with the squad leader, the squad leader had already eaten the hearts of at least forty or fifty people.

Even a professional soldier like Instructor Mo Tian didn't dare to make eye contact with that veteran's eyes.

"His gaze was calm, with a cold dead ash, but anyone who looked at him for a moment would have an absolute coldness in his heart." When Instructor Mo Tian told about this past, the sadness in his eyes was clearly mixed with admiration and regret: "That is a kind of subconscious fear when a creature faces a natural enemy. ”

At that time, Fengyinglou asked: "How happened to the squad leader in the end?" ”

"After all this, his life has completely collapsed, he is just a walking corpse dominated by hatred, what else?"

Mo Tian said in a low voice: "When we regained the position and joined him, the squad leader asked me for a cigarette, and after smoking it, he only said 'Brothers, I am here to accompany you', and in front of me, he directly raised his gun and committed suicide." The blood that splattered from his face at that time sprayed directly onto my face. ”

Feng Ying Lou will never forget the story Mo Tian told him, so he firmly believes more than anyone that when danger is approaching, a professional soldier who has experienced the most cruel test of life and death may have the instinctive induction!

"The team member who dug up the metal box didn't understand the meaning of the number on it and the seal on the lead seal. Decades of underground immersion and corrosion had caused the outer shell of the metal box to lose its original sturdiness, and the team member used a pickaxe made of stone to smash the metal box directly. There was no explosion, no smoke, no pungent smell, and because nothing happened, the team member invited their vice-captain, and the vice-captain, who in turn invited us, who were working with him at the time, as well. ”

Recalling everything that happened half an hour ago, Li Fan's face became more and more pale, "I can tell you frankly that I just walked over at the time, and I haven't read the words written on the surface of the metal box clearly, but just by looking at it, the hairs on my whole body can't help but stand upside down, and an indescribable chill flows all over my body in an instant, and that feeling is like a wet and cold poisonous snake, which has unconsciously wrapped around my neck." If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people there, and I was the vice-captain, I probably wouldn't have been able to resist turning around and running. ”

Looking at the expression on Li Fan's face now, listening to his words, Feng Yinglou's heartbeat also accelerated.

During World War II, Unit 731 produced about 4 million poison gas bombs and various biological and chemical weapons, of which 3.7 million were manufactured in China or shipped into China. During the war, 600,000 pieces were used by the army, and after the war, more than 1 million pieces were transported back to the mainland, and at least 2 million pieces were left in various parts of China. At that time, the transportation route of poison gas bombs was through the Benhai Sea, to the Korean Peninsula, and then to various coastal cities in China, and finally to other regions, so an astonishing number of poison gas bombs were scattered in China's coastal cities and surrounding islands.

In the case of Guangzhou City, where they entered a few days ago, on the evening of June 21, 2005, Sanmin residents in the Panyu area were mining sand by the river when they encountered a poison gas bomb and were injured and taken to the hospital. On the 26th of that month, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement admitting that the poison gas bomb was a chemical weapon left over from the war of aggression against China.

"I also went to check where the team member found the metal box. The metal box is buried more than a foot deep underground, and ordinary fishermen, even if they set foot on this island to escape the wind and waves, will enter the wooden hut used to dry the fish, and will never easily venture deep into the heart of the island, let alone run into the jungle and dig indiscriminately with shovels. ”

Listening to Li Fan's words, Fengyinglou nodded slightly. Over the years, the theoretical idea of "no fault is meritorious" has greatly infiltrated the military, and even if they want to test the ability of these special forces to deal with crises, those operational staff officers who set the schedule of the game will not, let alone dare to set such a radical, so presumptuous, and so stabbing the sensitive underbelly of the two countries!

All the evidence can already show that what they encountered is a biological and chemical weapon that is genuine and has an unknown effect, but its lethality must not be underestimated!

But I don't know why, Fengyinglou always feels unrelieved.

He just felt that what happened was too unexpected, and it was too much of a coincidence.

(To be continued)
