Chapter 107: Southern Distress
After receiving the task assigned by the committee, Zhang Jingyi couldn't cry or laugh. The war with the Jones is over, and her space fleet really has nothing to do except escort it, but it's not like this: "Go to the south to collect tree seeds?" What a thing! ”
But whether you want it or not, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and even if you become a garden worker, you have to carry it out.
She had to arrange for all the space cruisers to take turns between the South and Space City, the space cruisers became transport ships, and her soldiers became garden workers and porters.
Complaints are inevitable, she can only persuade and order, and then pay for herself. The commander took the lead, and the soldiers had nothing to say. So, everything went well, the effects of hard work gradually appeared, and she and her soldiers were used to doing things that were not done by soldiers.
"Commander, you don't have to be like us, come every time!"
"Idle is idle, and it's not bad to come out to breathe!" She said.
Every time, in addition to hard work, it was smooth. Unexpectedly, I ran into trouble this time! Her soldiers are used to working every day, and the vigilance that a soldier should have is beginning to relax!
"Is that human?" One of them saw something flash in the woods in the distance: "Or some beast?" ”
And in the place where they frequented, there was a mountain. This mountain peak is special in the dense jungle and undulating mountains, and there is an atmosphere of seeing all the mountains at a glance, and Zhang Jingyi is eager to go there to see it. It was still early after finishing her work that day, so she took her escort team and drove a landing craft there.
They parked their landing craft on a slightly flat slope on the mountainside, where there were no people, and the air was fresh and pleasant. Of these dozen people, Zhang Jingyi was older, and the rest were little girls, so they came down and jumped to play.
In the midst of the forgetful play, there is only one person who is alert, and that is Britney, the leader of the escort team. Her companions were having fun, and she never let go of playing, but looked around from time to time. When she caught a glimpse of movement in the woods in the distance, she was the first to warn.
Everyone suddenly became nervous and drew their guns. When they were looking for cover, they found that the situation was terrible---- they got carried away, and they were two hundred meters away from the landing craft!
"Get back to the landing craft!" Brienne shouted, pulled Zhang Jingyi and ran. The shots rang out, it was dense, and the two guards fell. They were in a terrible position, pinned down the hill by the opposing fire. If they don't leave this place in time, they're finished!
"You're hurt?" Seeing that Brienne's right leg was bloody, Zhang Jingyi immediately ordered: "Charge forcibly and run to the landing craft!" ”
Everyone jumped to their feet and rushed to the landing craft. Zhang Jingyi picked up Brienne on her back, opened fire, and ran towards the landing craft. Several of the escorts, who were running in front, had already run to the landing craft. Zhang Jingyi slipped and fell on the hillside.
"Let go of me, Commander!" Brienne lay on the ground and shot at the hillside: "Hurry up and cover the commander......"
The two guards pulled Zhang Jingyi and tried to drag her away, but Zhang Jingyi pounced on Brienne and wanted to take her away. However, the opposing firepower had blocked the hillside between them and the landing craft, and they could not cross......
"You guys get out of here!" Zhang Jingyi ordered the guards who had already boarded the landing craft into the communicator: "Find the cruiser and come to meet us!" ”
After she finished shouting, she dragged Brienne with two guards, and the four of them rolled down the hill together. At the bottom of the hillside was a jungle, and they held the wounded Brienne in a desperate run. When everything around them was quiet, they didn't know where they were.
It was getting dark, and the jungle at night showed its true face of coldness and slaughter. However, they were afraid of exposing their targets, so they turned off the lights on their helmets. They came out without any food, and now they were cold and hungry, so they had to huddle together to keep each other warm.
Unfortunately, Britney had a fever. Her wound was sealed in time by Zhang Jingyi with the ointment she had brought with her, but she lost too much blood, she was very weak, and she had been asleep.
"Go find some water!"
One of the guards went in response, looked for water, and Zhang Jingyi poured a few sips on her.
"I'm fine, Commander......" she said, fainting again.
Time passed little by little, and finally, the sky began to dawn. Zhang Jingyi reached out to touch the communicator, her face turned white---- the communicator was gone!
"It must have been lost on the way, I'll look for it!" Said the guard.
"Don't go, in this dense forest, I don't know where I lost it, how to find it?" Zhang Jingyi said: "If you are not careful, you will also lose it!" ”
"Then I can't contact the cruiser, how can I go back?" The guards were so anxious that they were about to cry: "The captain is dying, what should I do?" ”
"Find a place to hide first, and think about survival!"
Zhang Jingyi was not wrong, she knew that those who attacked them must be some anti-** army. As soon as the morning dawns, they will definitely continue to follow.
They cut down two small tree trunks and tied rattan between them to make a simple stretcher. The three of them took turns carrying Brienne, who was unconscious, in the opposite direction of the way they had come yesterday.
As the sun rises, the jungle begins to get sweltering. The vine branches made them choke with exhaustion, and their speed became very slow. Tired, hungry and sweaty, they had to stop.
"I'm so tired!" After all, the two guards were girls, and they had to carry a stretcher in the jungle, and it was very difficult to walk after stumbling, so they were naturally tired enough. Moreover, they had not eaten all day, and they had to work hard when they were hungry, and they were indeed tired.
"Find something to eat!" Zhang Jingyi said.
Finding something to eat seems like a word, especially in the jungle, where it is green at a glance, and it shouldn't be difficult. However, they all come out of Central City, and the food there is all made, which is completely different from the wild. Therefore, they found a lot of wild fruits and vegetables that seemed to be edible, but they didn't know if they could eat them or if they were poisonous. Therefore, except for Britney, who seemed to be asleep and woke up, the other three people could only be stunned by those wild fruits and vegetables.
"Can you eat it?"
"You ask me, who do I ask?"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, facing a large number of wild fruits and vegetables, but they didn't dare to say it easily. Seeing this scene, Zhang Jingyi licked her dry lips and said, "It's better to be poisoned than to starve to death...... I'll eat first, I'll be fine after half an hour, you guys will eat again! ”
"No, Commander, I can't let you eat first!" A guard stopped Zhang Jingyi, grabbed a wild fruit and bit it: "It's a little sour, it's okay!" ”
Zhang Jingyi and another guard watched nervously as she ate, nervously waiting for the results. Finally, after half an hour, the guard did not react badly.
"It's fine!" She said, her tense face began to relax: "Commander, eat!" ”
"But I can only eat this kind of fruit, and if I want to pick it in the future, I will have to find the same kind of wild fruit," Zhang Jingyi said, "but Brienne can't eat this thing, and she has to see if there is anything else." ”
After eating the wild fruits, the three of them barely stopped their hunger, so they took turns to look for them in the surrounding area. Not bad, Zhang Jingyi found a small lake with fish in it. She hurriedly made a mark all the way back to the place where they had just stayed: "Let's go there and camp for a while!" ”
