Chapter 8: Wilderness Survival Training Course
I sat up sharply, and now it was dawn. Wu Shirong got up and was reading, Wang Xuebing was washing in the water room, and Li Lin hadn't gotten up and fell asleep. What was released yesterday? Could it be that I was sucked by that female ghost? I hurriedly lifted the quilt and looked at it, but fortunately the underwear was still wearing no change, which scared me to death. I hurriedly got out of bed and looked in the mirror, there was no change, and there were no symptoms of darkening in the eye circles, what a false alarm!
I hurriedly took out a professional exorcism tool again, ripped off the old charm, and replaced it with a new one.
"I'll go, you perverted old way, what kind of ghost talisman you drew early in the morning? Is our bedroom haunted? Wang Xuebing entered the bedroom with a basin and happened to meet me drawing charms.
"No, I'm just practicing, I forgot how to draw a spell if I didn't practice it for a long time, there's no ghost, you can rest assured!" I bit my middle finger and drew four talismans in one breath, and the four directions on the bed, under the bed, at the head of the bed, and at the end of the bed were all spelled by me, and this time I looked at it with confidence, and this female ghost would definitely never dare to come to me again.
After looking at the performance, it was already eight o'clock, and a few of us hurriedly arrived at the teaching building, Professor Liu came surprisingly early today, and there must be something special to explain to us. We walked in one after another, and soon everyone arrived.
"Students, you're all here!" Professor Liu lifted his glasses.
"It's here, hello Professor Liu!" The students replied in unison, and their voices were very loud.
"It's good to be here, there is an important thing I want to announce today, that is, the project of going to the no-man's land of Tibet is about to begin, and we will hold a survival test before the project begins, and the students who cannot pass will be eliminated, and those who are eliminated will not be able to participate in the research work of the project." As soon as Professor Liu finished speaking, Zhao Yuer stood up.
"Professor Liu, why do we have a survival test, what is there to test, can we just go and get it?" The students have not heard of any survival tests, and for the first time, they are talking and talking non-stop.
"The test of survival is to test your ability to endure, you must know that the survival conditions in the no-man's land are very bad, first of all, the temperature is very low, the average temperature is about five degrees above zero, and sometimes there is no water source within a radius of hundreds of miles, and our physical strength is also a problem. There is nothing to eat or drink, so we must have good physical strength to carry our supplies on our backs in order to pass through no man's land. If we want to pass through no man's land, we have to exercise our body to be able to meet the requirements of the environment there, you know? After Professor Liu finished speaking, he wrote on the blackboard where we needed to exercise.
"Professor Liu, what will happen if we are eliminated?" I stood up and asked.
"It's not hopeless to be eliminated, you can still take this subject when you pass the next test, but the sooner the better, if you graduate and come back to take it, it's meaningless, right?" After Professor Liu finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
The next day, our survival exercise officially began, every day was a five-kilometer run, as well as a weight-bearing walk of 10 kilometers, as well as climbing, swimming, interspersed in the period, a total of more than a month of time finally we persevered, and none of the ten people were left behind.
After a month of hard workout, I feel that my body is much stronger than before, no matter how far I walk, I am not tired, and the amount of food seems to have increased a lot compared to before, it seems that I have been lacking this kind of exercise before. The biggest changes are Wu Shirong and Zhao Yuer. The weather was bad in the no-man's land, the temperature was very low, and he couldn't bring glasses at all, so Wu Shirong was equipped with a pair of contact lenses. Zhao Yuer has been tanned by the sun this month, and now her skin is as dark as mine.
Today is the last day of the training session, and Professor Liu came to the playground where we are training early.
"Students, how are you preparing?" Professor Liu's loud voice echoed throughout the playground.
"Ready!" Our voices are also loud, and everyone has a resolute expression.
"Okay, today I announce the last test of field training, it's eight o'clock, I'll send you to the mountains 50 kilometers away from here in a moment, you have to find a way to walk back on foot, whoever doesn't reach my position at eight o'clock tomorrow morning will be eliminated, understand?"
"Got it!" Ten people answered loudly, but they were obviously very weak-minded, and to be honest, this task was more difficult for me, let alone those pampered city babies.
Each of us can bring some tools, and only a small amount of food and water. In fact, there are many skills for survival in the wild, but in addition to skills, there are really a lot of essential items when you get to no man's land. At the very least, there is a backpack for food and water and some tools; Hiking boots, suitable for rough roads to prevent injuries to the surface of the foot; The still is used to distill water to solve the difficulty of drinking water. The compass is used to determine the direction, as well as a flashlight for lighting, tents, kettles, tools for starting a fire, binoculars, spare food, and much more.
Soon we came to a place full of open ground, a barren hill a few dozen miles north of our school, which had long been abandoned due to ore mining, so there was no place to live except for a few hollowed-out mines. Professor Liu and the driver drove away, and the ten of us began to walk back on the abandoned barren mountain.
After walking for about two hours, all the people were hungry, each of us was given only a compressed biscuit, a bottle of mineral water was quickly eaten, and the ten of us did not give up, and continued to look at the compass with a hungry stomach and walked in the direction of the school. The road on this barren hill is rough and full of potholes, and occasionally a bird with an unknown name passes by.
"Nie Yu, what do you think that is?" As soon as Zhao Yu'er's words fell, I saw a huge mine in front of me.
"It must be an abandoned mine, what's so rare?" I looked through my binoculars, and I couldn't see anything in the dark inside the mine.
"It's eight o'clock in the evening, and we'll be out of sight soon, and we'll have five hours to get there according to the current journey, why don't we take a rest inside?" Wu Shirong was so tired that he couldn't stand it and hurriedly told me.
"Don't keep telling me, ask the other classmates, if they agree, we'll go and rest!" I looked at them, and they all seemed to agree on Wu Shirong's room.
A few of us then followed Wu Shirong in the direction of the cave.
I came to the door of this cave and shone it with a flashlight, it was really a mine. The entrance to the cave was surrounded by armguards made of wood and stone, and the entrance was very wide, about four meters wide and more than two meters high, and a few of us could stand in rows and walk inside.
"Nie Yu, you see there seems to be a ladder climbing up here!" Zhao Yuer's flashlight shone on a ladder, a rope ladder went down to the entrance of the cave, as if it was really climbing up, I pulled this rope ladder is very strong.
"Zhao Yu'er, you hold the backpack for me, I'll go up and see what is inside?" With that, I handed her the backpack.
Wu Shirong and I went up the rope ladder one after the other, and when we reached the top was a black passage, the ground was full of water, and I couldn't breathe with a foul smell that came to my face.
"Damn, what does this smell like, it stinks!" Wu Shirong hurriedly covered his nose.
"You coward, you can't be scared if you have a little wind and grass, look ahead. Let's go! I pushed him forward.
I looked at it with a flashlight, and I was startled, and there were three huge coffins neatly placed in front of me, and there seemed to be soul-calming nails nailed to them.
"Don't move that nail, be careful!" I hurriedly told Wu Shirong not to touch the nail, but it was too late by then, Wu Shirong inadvertently knocked down a nail, and suddenly the rope ladder fell to the lower layer, and cold sweat began to break out on my forehead. I suddenly remembered the big coffin of Boss Hong's house that my second uncle went to see, and there happened to be a soul suppression nail on it, could it be that this is also a ghost?
Just thinking about it here, the coffin that had been pulled out of the nail suddenly moved, and Wu Shirong jumped behind me in fright. I hurriedly took the charm in my backpack, and it was broken! The charm was given to Zhao Yu'er when they came up just now, and they can't come up at all down now, and the rope ladder has also fallen, what should I do?
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the lid of the coffin slammed open. From the inside, a zombie-like guy slowly stood up. The creature was almost rotten with no flesh left, half of his face was covered with white bones, and countless maggots were burrowing through his flesh. And this zombie-like guy even wears a hard hat, is it a "migrant worker" who committed suicide after failing to ask for wages?
I was thinking about these useless things, and the "migrant workers" stretched out their hands and pounced on me. I hurriedly put my hands on his shoulders and dodged it. Due to inertia, the maggots on the "migrant workers" fell on my face at once, and I quickly used my hands to get rid of these maggots and ran away. The "migrant worker" saw Wu Shirong again, and he stretched out his hands and threw himself at Wu Shirong's neck, but Wu Shirong didn't react and was choked by the neck.
"Nie Yu, save me, my neck is choked, save me!" As he spoke, Wu Shirong kicked the big mouth of the "migrant worker" with his foot, and the "migrant worker" seemed to want to suck the blood from his neck.
That's when I saw the long soul-calming nail on the coffin board, and if I pulled it out and stuck it on his head, the zombie would die. I hurriedly ran over, but the soul nail was just pressed to the ground by the coffin board and buckled in, I couldn't pull it out, I used my strength to feed, and finally moved little by little.
"Nie Yu, save me, I'm going to die! The maggots have fallen into my neck, save me! Wu Shirong still desperately shouted my name.
"If you hold on, I'm going to pull it out, I'm going to pull it out......!"
