Fort Town, which has a piece of wasteland in Mirror Lake (the ownership of which has always been disputed), has now become a training ground for joint expeditions, which are divided into three main areas: basic intelligence gathering, outdoor forest survival, and basic weapons training. In addition, according to the actual situation of the participants, professional courses or exemptions from training will be appropriately added.

During this period, the committee also had to conduct mixed grouping and collaborative training for the participants - after all, everyone is from different city-states, and some city-states are still deeply contradictory to each other, so it is not easy for these people to form a tacit understanding in a short period of time, at least not to tear each other down, whether it is Ah Jun as the captain, or the members of the committee, or even the captains of each detachment, their heads are busy.

Even so, during the two-week training period, there were still people who were forced to leave because they had violated discipline or were unable to complete the training subjects, but those who left were not completely removed from the expedition and were still retained as reserve personnel for a period of time.

After two weeks of training, all the members of the team were given a day off, and they chose different pastimes, more typical of which was the steel city-state, and their personnel needed to use this day of vacation to listen to the lectures of the supervisor, Major Titanium, so that they would not be corrupted by the metropolis and other harmful ideas in their future work and life.

For this reason, Major Ti also specially used Cheng Gang as a negative teaching material. However, for some reason, the gardener's one-day lesson was shortened to half a day, and then Major Titanium disappeared, and the fighters who had a half-day vacation went fishing and swimming in the mirror lake, and spent half a day happily.

As for Major Titanium, it is said that someone has seen him at the Mushroom Theater in Fort Town, but since he is watching a lap dance with a pair of oversized binoculars, covering half of his face, it is not clear whether he is him or not, and those who see him are not sure.

The next day, the expedition team was joined by a group of experts, scholars, professors and scientists from various city-states, who would not miss this good opportunity.

Due to the sudden increase in the number of people, the gardener's planned means of transportation were not enough, so he had to take the method of departing in batches and arriving at a time, but as the captain, Ah Jun followed the first batch of former station personnel to the southern forest town within a time limit.

The town was very small, but there was only one street, two rows of thirty or forty wooden houses, and all of them were illegally inhabited. This is because this area was originally classified as a non-human activity area by the city-state alliance.

However, this expedition was authorized, so Ah Jun was not polite, and boldly opened up a vacant land in the forest at the back of the town to build a base camp, and the felled trees were used to build a fence and temporary housing, and because of the need to open a temporary airship landing field, the area of the base camp was expanding every day.

Among the second batch of arrivals, there was an old naturalist, watching Ah Jun turn the forest into a small town so drastically, his beard trembled, and the upper gang accused Ah Jun of "This is to destroy the forest and turn Eden into a second earth." ”

In the face of this accusation, Ah Jun didn't know how to justify, just as the tree elf Major Mu Sen came to apply: "Can you let them live in the forest on the side of the base camp, where they are going to build a temporary tree house as a residence." ”

Jun immediately agreed to the tree elves' request, and at the same time asked them to put the white-bearded naturalist on the tree, since he was so fond of being one with nature.

As a result, the old man stayed for two days and felt unaccustomed, so he cheekily moved into a wooden room with a portable toilet, and although Ah Jun knew, he pretended not to know that he would go. As long as he doesn't point fingers.

Next came the construction of the headquarters, the expedition team raised the communication balloon, and the electronic equipment with the Ark Alliance as the main body began to be installed and tested.

This time, Ah Jun is going to use the air-ground integration and uninterrupted communication to carry out the detection.

The front-line expedition was divided into two detachments, air and ground, and the land detachment marched on foot, supported by an air boat, which was also part of the air detachment.

When the limit of the base camp communication balloon is explored, a communication station will be built, which will also use balloon communication; This is repeated, step by step.

As the captain and excellent bounty hunter, Ah Jun will lead the land detachment, and Irina thinks that she has a high reputation and sits in the base camp; The airship was commanded by Cheng Gang, but Major Ti insisted that he stay on the airship to supervise the former traitor.

It is said that even if Mrs. Zhuang joins the expedition team, the base camp is the most suitable place for her, but Mrs. Zhuang has a strong purpose to join this time, and she has to join the hiking detachment. ”

Mrs. Zhuang smiled instead of being angry when she heard this: "Don't worry, I won't be a drag on you, and the old lady has been skiing and hunting all these years, and she is not a weak chicken." ”

Entertainment adventure and scientific exploration are two different things, but Ah Jun doesn't say it, anyway, there is an airship in the sky to follow at any time, and it is not a problem to arrange a Mrs. Zhuang.

Speaking of the airships participating in the expedition, they were provided by the steel city-state, and on the basis of the transport model, the weapons were dismantled, the living conditions were improved, the communication facilities were strengthened, and the main task was to support the ground detachment, and the carriers were weaker scientists and supplies.

To everyone's surprise, the team members in charge of the investigation were actually the rabbit people led by Meiya, who were petite, agile, and super predictable of danger. Carrying a day's worth of supplies (one-third of a normal person) and light weapons, they were at the forefront of the expedition.

Then there were the two Nagas, who were tall, four-armed, and physically strong, wielding knives and axes like windmills, and were good at carving passages through the forest.

Then there is the main force of the ground detachment led by Ah Jun - explorers and technicians sent by various city-states. The last team to be pressed was a group of tree elves, who were the least mentally stressed group in the expedition, and when they returned to the forest, it was like returning home.

On the first day, because the forest was not very dense, and the man-eating birds that were said by the locals did not appear, the expedition miraculously advanced about thirty kilometers in the forest, but found nothing of value, only the botanist found a few plants that were not in the location of the city-state, and immediately took samples and sent them to the airship for collection.

However, as I went deeper into the forest, I found that the number of this plant was terrible, and new varieties were constantly being discovered.

After finding a campsite, testing the water source, lighting a bonfire, setting up a perimeter cordon, and setting up tents and sanitation facilities for the night, everyone began to set up tents and sanitation facilities for the night, and prepared for camping.

Although Mrs. Zhuang usually insists on fitness and likes exciting sports such as skiing and hunting, this day of jungle trekking still made her feel a little tired, Ah Jun persuaded her to go to the airship to rest, but she found an excuse to stay - the bed on the airboat was cramped, the cabin had no privacy to speak of, and the tent was spacious and comfortable.

As if to confirm Mrs. Zhuang's words, the frail scientists who were on the airship during the day also went down to the ground to move their muscles and bones, breathe fresh air, and take a look along the way.

Jun felt that these guys had increased the burden on the ground detachment - the team had been trekking for a day, and now they had to give up their rest time to protect them in order to satisfy the scientists' idea of "looking around". And these frail scientists don't know if they are stupid or what, and some people even joke: "It's still comfortable to be down-to-earth, and I'll join the ground detachment tomorrow." ”

This is the first day, of course, Jun has to think about the hiking team, at least he has to find a way to help them save some physical strength.

So Ah Jun immediately contacted Irina and the other members of the committee, and everyone urgently discussed a discipline, and made regulations on the time, scope and accompaniment of the personnel on the airship to rest, and after the announcement, Ah Jun became a villain in the eyes of some scientists, but the personnel of the foot detachment were full of gratitude to Ah Jun.

After dinner, everyone chatted around the campfire for a while, and Ah Jun announced that he could rest. So everyone went back to their tents to rest, except for the personnel in charge of security and communications duty.

Jun's tent is larger than the average tent, and it has a folding bed and a set of folding tables and chairs for daily work.

Ah Jun wrote the expedition log first, and when he was about to go to bed, he heard a rustling sound at the door, and then someone opened the tent and yawned and came in, it was Kekexi.

Kekexi swam to Ah Jun's folding bed with sleepy eyes and fluffy eyes, and first groped for it, probably because the folding bed was not wide enough, but he was very satisfied with the moisture-proof mat laid in front of the bed, so he swirled a few times, his body was coiled, and he fell asleep.

Ah Jun smiled bitterly and stepped forward to call her a few times, but she couldn't wake up. Thinking that today she and the other two Naga had been cutting down branches and vines for a day, and they were also tired, so they stopped calling her, but they were afraid that she would catch a cold, so they covered her with a spare thin blanket, and then turned off the lights and went to bed around her.

A few minutes before he fell asleep, Ah Jun thought: "It is said that the pestering little rabbit Meiya should have come over at this time, but he has not shown up, maybe because he is too tired, maybe because he is not too public in front of his subordinates." ”

Who knew that before I finished thinking about it, I felt that the tent curtain was opened again, and a small animal walked over lightly, stopped in front of the bed, and probably found a ball of Kekexi, the small animal's mouth muttered, probably complaining, and then also went around the bed, so that Ah Jun felt a cool and slippery little body rushed into his blanket, arched in his arms for a while, and finally found a comfortable position, and then let out a long breath, and the breathing began to become even.
