Chapter 19: Survival in the Wild
"Isn't that a bit too risky?" Seeing the students being arranged to get on the bus with curious and puzzled expressions, Zhuo Yuanshan couldn't help but be a little worried.
This is no longer Yenching University, nor is it the bus as students first called it. Rather, in the barracks on the sidelines.
When the students stepped into the barracks, there were no expected dismounts. The soldiers received them warmly, and then arranged them in groups to get into military vehicles and drive towards the field.
"The deep sea is not very peaceful, and it is very likely that their generation will continue the path of the martyrs and go through it again, so everything can only start from actual combat, so that they can adapt as soon as possible. In this way, if one day they are really called into the battlefield, perhaps this more than a month of military training will be the weight of their lives. ”
Standing next to the president of Yenching University was a middle-aged general, about forty years old, with a resolute face, and his eyes were as sharp as a sword out of the sheath. Two stars on their shoulders shimmer brightly. This person's name is Zhong Ping, a very common name. But he has a life worthy of legend.
Sixty years have passed since the end of the war between humans and monsters, and in these sixty years, monsters and humans have not been at peace. The citizens living in the safe base feel the breath of peace, but on the sidelines, battles continue to play out in the unidentified monster gathering places.
While the security base can meet the daily needs of citizens, it cannot meet the development of heavy industry. Because all mineral resources are in the wilderness outside the safe base, for the resources of these developments. In order to obtain weapons that are more powerful than the demon beasts, the flames of war have been burning all the time for the past sixty years.
Twenty years ago, Zhong Ping was just an ordinary big-headed soldier. And today, twenty years later, he is a lieutenant general, the supreme leader of a group army, and one of the gods of war in China. This era is destined to create heroes, and the price of creating heroes is the sacrifice of countless lives, and the continuous succession of later generations.
The military vehicle drove into the field for an afternoon, and when the sun hung in the sky, all the cadets were placed on a meadow. The dense forests of the mountains not far away seemed to be the sound of beast roars exploding in my ears. Upon hearing about their military training mission, all the cadets exploded.
"Survive in the wild! It's to survive in the wild, isn't this too difficult? ”
"That's right, we're non-combat students, and we haven't trained at all to survive in the wild, doesn't this make us die?"
"Are you mistaken, this is military training for the cadets of the combat department, right?"
"It's because you are non-combat students that there will be a ready-made camp for you, and the surrounding demon beasts have also been wiped out, and there are no high-level demon beasts. The task of the students of the combat department is that each person has only one field backpack, and they need to pass through the area where the monster is active within seven days and reach another point to qualify.
Compared to them, your conditions are already very generous, even when this military training plan was formulated. You don't even have a fixed camp, so you should directly put on your field backpack and cross the activity area of the monster like the students of the combat department. Preparing these for you has taken into account your status as a non-combat combat student. The instructor shouted coldly through a loudspeaker.
"Yes...... But this place is not in the sideline, even if the surrounding monsters are not clear, there will be monsters coming at any time. One student said with some concern.
"What else do you want? Did you put you here for a picnic? The instructor asked rhetorically, and the students who asked couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
The grim-faced instructor glanced at all the students, "Now I'll introduce you to the specific mission, the camp is a circular structure. Female trainees live on the lowest floor and male trainees on the outer floor. You have three days' supplies, and those snacks you bring can be left behind. And the task you have to do is to survive here for half a month.
Or after five days here, hike back to the sidelines. In a few moments, each person will receive a field military backpack with three days' worth of supplies, a map, and a few things you can use in battle. The soldiers who escorted you tonight will be stationed here with you, and tomorrow we will leave.
You'll take over the garrison here. It is possible to give up now, and the cadets who give up will have zero points for military training, and tomorrow they will return with the soldiers in the withdrawn sideline. The military training score of the academy that quits halfway is also zero, and only the students who successfully complete the tasks assigned by the person are considered qualified. Eligible for new military training after half a month, you decide how to choose. ”
"Can I ask a question??" A student raised his hand and said.
"Ask."
"How far is it from the touchline, and do you have to stay here for five days to get to the sideline? Is it okay to leave early? ”
"It's on the map how far from the sideline is, but I can answer you for now. It is 260 km from the borderline. We must stay in this area for five days, and when the breath of our departure is gone, we can choose whether to continue to stay in this area, or return to the sidelines on foot, when the cleared monsters move around the area again. ”
"What if someone is willing to stay and garrison, and someone wants to return?"
"It's your own business, how you choose to decide for yourself."
Then the students asked a lot of questions, some of which were answered, and some of which were not.
When the sun set, a bonfire lit up in the territory, and each student found their own tent. But the seemingly sturdy tents didn't give them the slightest sense of security. The sound of the beast's roar as the night fell, and even the fierce fire could not drive away the cold.
"This trick is really ruthless, come up and let us survive in the wild, Qin Liang, what are you doing?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qin Liang.
"Look at what's in the backpack, I just looked at the camp except for the tent, there are only some utensils, and the most powerful weapon is a kitchen knife. So we want to survive here, and the stuff in our backpack is a lifesaver for us. Qin Liang took out the contents of the backpack one by one.
The first is a military uniform, helmet and combat boots. When you pick up your backpacks, you will have the student's name on each backpack. So the size of clothes and shoes is suitable.
Then there were a few bullets for a submachine gun, a pistol, an electromagnetic knife, a water bottle, a waterproof map, a compass, a dozen rune papers, and compressed dry food that could be eaten for three days, and that was all there was in the backpack.
"It's really the most standard equipment for survival in the wild, this is 260 kilometers away from the sideline, and it's already very deep into the monster activity area. These things deal with the first level, the two-level demon beast is no problem, if we come to the third level, we won't just finish playing? It would be nice to have a little more firepower, and I want to have a sniper rifle anyway. Seeing that the things in the baggage were so simple, Zhang Fan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"Give you a few more cannons, a few more shells, and you'll be able to build fortifications around the camp directly. At that time, let alone being stationed for half a month, even if it is stationed for a month, it will be no problem. As long as you hide in the camp and sleep a lot every day, you can pass the test, so what is the point of military training? Qin Liang couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, these things are already quite a lot, you must know that plus the large bags of snacks carried by the students themselves. At least for the first week, I didn't have to worry about food, this area is meadow, and the forest water source is not a problem not far away.
Therefore, it is said that it is said that it is stationed for half a month, in fact, the first week can be very easy, mainly in the second week, there are demon beasts returning to this area. And if you choose to return on foot, what dangers Hu encounters on the way are the biggest tests.
"How do you feel like you're not afraid at all?" Zhang Fan looked at Qin Liang with some curiosity.
"What's the use of being afraid, do you give up and go back tomorrow? I don't want to give up this score and go back to study hard, and I have to get an excellent score in every subject to get my graduation certificate. ”
"That's right, that's what I thought. How to survive this hurdle, otherwise you will have to get an excellent score of more than 80 points in each of the other subjects, and then you don't have to do anything in school in the future, and you don't feel enough time just to deal with the exam. Zhang Fan nodded approvingly.
After a night of silence, the next morning looked at the departing military vehicle, although many students hesitated. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and stayed, although he was nervous all night yesterday. But seeing that everyone else didn't give up, and thinking about the credits of military training, they all strengthened their minds to stay.
The camp is small, with only a dozen tents, each containing two people. All the students were in Qin Liang's class, and it was obvious that this test was conducted on a class basis. When the military vehicle disappeared from everyone's field of vision, all the trainees looked at the unfamiliar environment around them, and their faces couldn't help but become apprehensive again.
"Let's all come and go, we are all in the same class, but we don't know each other very well. So let's introduce ourselves first, and then we'll talk about what runes we're best at. There is rune paper in the package, which is obviously also specially prepared for us.
What runes we can craft will have a direct bearing on whether or not we pass military training in the coming period. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Ma Jing. Ten thousand galloping horses, standing Qingjing. Intermediate runemaster who specializes in the production of auxiliary charms. After a moment of silence, a male student stepped forward.
Although the male trainees are tall and tall, they don't have strong muscles compared to Zhang Fan, but they are lofty. Especially when they get up in the morning, everyone invariably changes into their combat uniforms, and at this time they look quite a bit of a soldier's demeanor.
"Then I'll also introduce myself, my name is Zhang Fan, an intermediate rune master, good at the production of spells in the control department." Zhang Fan also stood up.
"My name is Zhou Tong, Zhou of Shang Zhou, all roads lead to Rome, 19 years old, male, nationality: Han, hobbies: sports, travel, music, favorite color......"
"Okay, okay, classmate Zhou Tong. It's just a simple self-introduction, not a marriage advertisement, not so detailed. Ma Jing said with a smile.
The originally nervous students burst into laughter, and the atmosphere changed from solemn to humorous.
"I still haven't talked about playing." Zhou Tong hurriedly raised his hand in protest.
"Yes, yes, you haven't introduced you to any spells you are good at."
"No, I want to say that I'm unmarried, I don't even have a girlfriend at the moment, and I intend to listen to phone contacts, my phone number is...... Well, the phone was taken away, I forgot how many numbers there were, and I deliberately chatted privately for a while, chatted privately. ”
"Haha......"
All the students laughed out loud at Zhou Tong's witty appearance.
