Jason returned to the fire and sat down, wiping the rain from his hair with his hands, then took off the boots on his feet and drained the water inside.

"Are you hungry?" Jason asked the others at the fire, and it was then that he remembered that everyone hadn't eaten since they started.

"I just had coffee and I'm not very hungry," Hill said. As soon as she finished speaking, there was a "gurgling" sound in her stomach.

"I see," Jason looked at Hill, who was a little red, "Tom, they're not back yet, let's have some dry food first." ”

Jason's ass was still hot before he got back up, and he beckoned a few soldiers to come with him to get his military field rations.

Several cardboard boxes were moved, and a soldier quickly unpacked the boxes and took out bags of food from them.

THE BAGS, ABOUT 30 CM LONG AND 20 CM WIDE, CONTAINED MILITARY RATIONS BROUGHT FROM THE BASE, WITH SOME TEXT PRINTED ON THE BAGS, AND THE THREE CAPITAL LETTERS "MRE" WERE PROMINENTLY PLACED IN THE CENTER.

The coffee-colored bag looks like chocolate packaging, which makes everyone's appetite significantly higher.

"Come and get it," Jason shouted to the crowd in the audience, "the rations come in a variety of flavors, you can choose according to your preference, of course, each flavor is limited in quantity, first come, first served." ”

"But we all have to get in line," Jason continued, "and everyone will come to Sergeant Stephen in the order they are in line." ”

"Chilli fried beans, Mexican chicken wraps, beef apennine dumplings in broth, and shredded Asian beef," Stephen shouted at Jason's endear, "pick your favorite flavor." ”

"Major, aren't we waiting for Tom to them?" One soldier asked.

"If you're hungry, you can eat first, because everyone is drenched in the rain on the way here, and their bodies need to be refueled," Jason said, "Tom they don't know when they'll be back, and if they catch a crocodile by then, let's take it as a refresh." ”

Everyone began to line up, one by one, to Stephen to receive the food, and Stephen handed out the corresponding rations to each person according to their own taste.

"Major, isn't this what we eat every day in the base?" Kevin held up the food in his hand, "I remember that in the base, we used a pot to heat and fry them, and there were no tools here, how could we eat them?" ”

"I'll show you all," Jason pulled out a ration from the box next to Stephen, pulling the bag open along the sealing line at the top of the bag, pulling out the contents one by one and placing them on the ground in front of him.

The others watched as Jason magically pulled out a dozen or so items of various sizes from the coffee-colored bag, some in cardboard boxes and others in plastic bags.

"I'm taking this Asian shredded beef ration," Jason said, "and the other flavors are the same as this one, and you pay attention to this green package that I'm holding, it's important, and without it, you're going to have to eat cold, hard dry food." ”

"Major, what is this?" Someone in the crowd of onlookers next to him asked.

"It's a heating pack, and a lot of food will need it for a while." Jason picked up the things in front of him one by one and introduced them in detail: "This is a fruit gummy, which can be eaten directly without heating, and is generally used as a snack before or after a meal; This one is coffee, and with it is sugar; And this spoon is the only cutlery we have, and we will need it when we eat; The two rectangular packages next to it are peanut butter and jam, which we can coat when we eat wheat bread so that the bread tastes even better; In addition, this bag contains a hot cocoa drink, which needs to be heated with a heating packet just like rice. ”

"Okay, now there's the most important part of the ration, the rice," Jason held up two flat rectangular cardboard boxes, "this one is shredded Asian beef, and the other one is fried rice, we need to heat them up, you pay attention to my steps." ”

Everyone's attention was focused on Jason's hand, as he picked up the outermost bag, put the heating bag inside, poured some water into it, and then sealed the mouth of the bag, leaving only a small gap.

The bag in Jason's hand slowly bulged, and white steam began to spew out from the gap that had been left behind. Jason took the fried rice and shredded beef that needed to be heated out of the carton and threw them into the coffee-colored bag, followed by the hot water bag and the hot cocoa drink. He then pinched the entire bag together and waited for the food inside to be fully heated.

After a few minutes, Jason emptied the hot water from the coffee-colored bag and took out all the heated contents.

"We tore open the bags of coffee and sugar and poured them all into the hot drinking bag, the water in this transparent drinking bag has just been heated to a boil in the big bag, you have to be careful not to burn your hands." Jason poured the coffee and sugar into it, then sealed the hot water bag and set it aside, "The coffee is ready, and we can drink it at any time." ”

"The rice and shredded meat are also heated," Jason took out two bags, carefully unopened them, and poured them all onto the plate taken out of the box, he stirred together the contents of the two bags, and then picked a spoonful with a spoon and put it in his mouth, "It tastes good." ”

"Wow," someone in the crowd exclaimed, "it's amazing. ”

"I don't need to teach you how to put jam on bread," Jason said with a smile as he enjoyed the food in his hand.

"It's time to eat," said the man who had received the rations, returning to his place and following Jason's steps, began to heat them.

"It probably tastes a little worse than what you eat at base," Jason said to Hill, "and we can't cook them better without the utensils here." ”

Hill smiled and carefully unwrapped the ration packs she had just received, and she took the contents out and placed them in front of her, following Jason's example.

"I'll help you," said Jason, handing over the bread in his hand, "and you eat this jam-coated wheat bread first, I look like you're starving." ”

"Thank you," Hill took the bread and began to eat.

"What's the politeness between us," Jason said with a smile, and began to help Ciel heat up the rice.

Hill looked around and saw that no one was noticing, and she quietly responded Jason with a sweet smile.

Kim is very hands-on, she watched Jason operate very carefully just now, and she is concentrating on her own food at this moment.

"Wow," there was a shout from the side, and it turned out to be a safety officer from the crew team who burned his fingers. He quickly took the burning finger in his mouth and began to suck, trying to relieve the pain.

Jason shook his head with a smile and handed the heated rice to Hill after stirring it well.

"Eat too, dear." Ciel mischievously licked the jam on his fingers, then took the rice from Jason, "That heating pack is amazing, I saw you add some water to it, and it generates heat on its own, and it heats up the rice and cocoa." ”

"The secrets are all in the thin, soft lump the size of a playing card in the heating bag," Jason said as he paused.

"What's that, so amazing?" Hill was like a curious baby, with big, beautiful eyes blinking and blinking.

"This thing in the heating pack is made by mixing magnesium powder, salt and a small amount of iron powder." Jason told Hilkop, "The principle of the heating pack is actually very simple, and I bet I was taught in my high school curriculum that when metals oxidize, they produce heat, especially magnesium, which oxidizes very quickly. ”

"I see," said Ciel, "how did you come up with this?" ”

"Just tell our suppliers what we need, and then pay them enough," Jason smiled, "and there's no problem in this world that they can't solve." ”

"Can they get rid of the zombies?" Hill raised his doubts.

"If the money is in place, it should be fine," Jason said, "but no one in the world can afford that price at the moment." ”

"Hah, after all, it still can't be," Hill said as he took the spoon in his mouth, his cheeks bulging, and he looked very cute.

Several figures appeared in the rain, and some people in the audience area looked over there.

"Tom is back," someone saw the comer.

Some of the soldiers stood up and went over to meet them.

With a dead crocodile in his hands, Tom drags his prey into the audience area and drops it on the ground. The soldiers who followed behind them were divided into groups of two, each carrying a crocodile.

"Wow, guys, great job," Stephen said excitedly as he looked at the big guys they brought back, "come and see these huge guys." ”

The carcasses of four crocodiles were lined up on the ground, and their longest body was 6.5 feet (about 2 meters). The crocodiles all had obvious bullet holes in their backs, and blood was constantly coming out of them.

"None of these are big guys," Tom said, wiping the rain from his head and gasping for breath, "a big guy we killed was almost 15 feet long, and unfortunately none of us could move it." ”

"We've all brought back those who can move," Thompson said excitedly, his body covered in mud and water, "and I've got my share of the bullets on these guys." ”

"I have to say, the cowboys are doing a great job," Tom complimented with a smile, his hand tapping Thompson on the shoulder, "you have the potential to be a professional soldier." ”

"You've all eaten your field rations, will there be room for crocodile meat in your stomach?" Brandon looked at the discarded ration bag on the ground and said helplessly.

"You came back a little late, so I asked them to eat something first to recover their strength, so as not to get cold and hungry and their immunity weakened and cause illness." Jason said this, and he looked at Sigourney again and asked her, "Has the purser eaten?" ”

"She drank some hot cocoa, but she couldn't swallow the rice," Sigourney said, "and the situation still didn't get better, and half of the ice packs were already gone." ”

"Okay, you go ahead and keep watching, the ice pack is still there, albeit for Lady Jennifer," Jason said to Sigoney, "I hope she recovers soon, otherwise we won't be able to take better care of her during the trip." ”
