Chapter 8: It may be like surviving in the wilderness
Li Hao and Su Yi, who were besieged, had to choose to hide in the oasis, the main reason was not because PEN's troops were chasing, but to replenish their physical strength, this time the failure of the breakthrough consumed too much, if this oasis was not found, then there was no way to continue the fight when it was discovered, and the two new aircraft of Sea Wing HW and Sea Wing Basic were handed over to PUN.
Li Hao and Su Yi are operating together, Ten Cities is with Shahrir, and Lille is also helping to figure out how to rescue them in the occupied area of ROEA, but there is no reply from the General Command.
PU's Scorpion motorized infantry has a very good performance in the desert, but only two were attacked, and the tragic situation of this team coming back shocked the command headquarters stationed here, and they even wanted to plan to capture the motorized infantry to study, because the new aircraft were still in the desert, so they had time to think about it, and if they wanted to get out, they had to cross the border line of the PUR troops.
The night in the desert was exceptionally quiet, and the weather was quite good, and Shicheng decided to go hunting when she saw Shahril's weak appearance, and her physical strength could not be replenished by that injection of adrenaline.
The Kraken Basic and the Pioneer were simply hidden, and now he needs to go hunting, just like humans in ancient times, Shicheng was shocked, and he didn't expect that he would face this situation.
There are a lot of electromagnetic interference field generation devices set up in PEN's territory, wireless communication is no longer possible, and Li Hao and Su Yi can't find them in the ten cities, but when night comes, they have to wait until the early morning to act, and now they can only look for supplies in the oasis.
At 2:00 in the morning, Shahrir, who had been in a coma for several hours, finally woke up, and the scene when she opened her eyes was the scene of Shicheng drinking rabbit blood, she was still frightened, but her body was very weak and she whispered: "Lieutenant Colonel, what are you doing......"
"Hare, if you can't find water, you can only replace it with this, and I'll keep your share." Ten Cities pointed to the bloody cup next to Shahrir, "See, what else have I caught?" ”
Shicheng lifted up a snake that had pierced its body with a wooden stick on the sand beside him: "The sand python, a creature that was once thought to be extinct in the desert in the last century, but due to the continuous wars in the black history era, it has also slowly multiplied. ”
"Do you want rabbit or snake meat, or both?" Ten Cities put the two prey on the barbecue grill that they had made earlier, and all they could use to burn were some withered plants.
Shahril's hands trembled and he held the cup full of rabbit blood, which didn't seem to have begun to solidify, as if it had just been put away, or that he woke up with something that Ten Cities had done.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and drank it directly, and drank it cleanly, but instead she choked on it, and coughed for a while before calming down.
"You probably haven't eaten snake meat and rabbit meat in your life, it's still roasted and eaten, you don't need to put salt, it's enough to suit your appetite, do you want to say that a few more cans of wine, especially the wine produced by Tianshui Factory will be better, right?" Shicheng looked at Shahrir's wolf-spitting appearance and couldn't help but want to tease, "It's good that I saw you like this, but if your family and friends see it, it's strange if I don't change my impression of you." ”
"My parents will never see it, and my brother probably won't see it either." Shahril replied quite simply, "Lieutenant Colonel, doesn't your family have any opinion on you joining the army?" ”
Shicheng looked at her and seemed to be very firm in her tone, intending to talk to the young girl: "My father died more than ten years ago, and I still have my sister and sister, but unfortunately they all think that I am dead, because I joined the army, and I died, so my mother is also mentally insane at home because of this. ”
Shahril didn't rush to reply and listened to the old man next to him while eating, Shicheng's expression didn't become sad because of the unbearable past, Shahril seemed to have been listening to Shicheng tell stories all the time.

The oasis where Li Hao and Su Yi are located is in the territory of the PUR army, and under the shroud of the electromagnetic interference field generation device, the two of them have no way to get in touch with the outside world, and of course, this will not allow them to be discovered.
"You can rest assured, with Lieutenant Colonel Shicheng here, Shahrir will be fine." Li Hao and Su Yi walked, and they hid the motorized infantry in the jungle of the oasis.
"Do you know why the lieutenant colonel is called the 'motorized infantry killer'?" Li Hao walked out of the oasis with a torch and Su Yi, "Because he can destroy the enemy's motorized infantry without motorized infantry alone, of course, it is not brute force, but excellent tactical skills, and his familiarity with motorized infantry and speculation in people's hearts are very skillful." ”
Of course, Su Yi knew that Ten Cities would be able to protect Shahrir from it, and what he was worried about was that these two people had no food and water source, and it was very likely that they had fainted in the desert by now, and the most important thing was the water source.
The two of them found water in the oasis, it was a small pool, but the good news was that it was drinkable, since the transport plane attacked and landed, I didn't expect to face this dilemma, the front was to break through against the wolves and scorpions, and now I have to fight against hunger and thirst, Li Hao felt that his life was really too ups and downs.
"The energy surplus of the Sea Wing HW is less than 30%, and the external armor damage rate has reached 26%, so we have to abandon the use of motorized infantry to find it." Li Hao knew that this situation was not ordinary, maybe he came out at night to see, not to find Shicheng and Shalier, but to be precise, to be alert and determine the terrain and other relevant data.
"I didn't expect you to know so much, it's worthy of coming out of the training school, now that I think about it, it's not surprising that you can survive the January Campaign." Su Yi couldn't help but sigh when she looked at Li Hao's use of the electronic board to record.
The density of vegetation in the oasis in the desert is only 0.32 compared to the relative value of the average forest, and the water source is even lower to 0.34, and the oasis where Li Hao is located has only a small pool, the size of half a basketball court. After Su Yi and Li Hao came back, the original plan was to rest directly, but Su Yi's sudden exclamation woke up Li Hao, who had just been lying down.
Li Hao walked to Su Yi and thought it would be something big to discuss, but what he saw was Su Yi pointing to the bubbling water on the shore opposite the pool, he remembered that he noticed it when he first came here, and he didn't care about it at all before, but now it seems that there is a problem.
"You wait on the shore, I'll take a look, I remember that a pool shouldn't be deep......" Li Hao took off his coat and trousers and walked over, just after saying this, he began to sink suddenly as if he was pulled by something, although he soon floated up, but Li Hao had already determined, it turned out that there was only bubbling here, and there was a cavity in the ground bubbling with gas, this one had a diameter of more than two meters.
Li Hao went ashore and took a deep breath and began to dive into this pit, he couldn't see the darkness clearly, he just wanted to determine the depth a little, and then floated up and dived with motorized infantry.

3:20 a.m
"I have witnessed a lot of deaths in the battle a year ago, girls as big as you and even smaller people have been killed, a unit of PUR is like a harvester, directly crushing the residents of the city who have not been evacuated, and my comrades-in-arms are because of hatred, single-handedly to take revenge, although the revenge is completed, but also take their own lives, you say they are stupid, for revenge even do not want their lives." Ten Cities turned his head sideways, "Hmm, Shahril? ”
Shahril had already fallen asleep on his shoulder, her petite size was like a well-behaved kitten leaning on its owner, Shicheng was not repulsive but couldn't let her sleep like this, so he picked her up and took off her coat and covered her next to her, at least not to be frostbitten, and the temperature at night in the desert could even be as low as 283K. (Celsius means 10°C or less)
The Kraken Basic is also short of power, the propulsion fuel is completely empty, and the remaining Pioneers still have more power, but the combat effectiveness is so low that even any motorized infantry in the PUR desert area cannot fully resist.
