Chapter 8: A Skillful March
(The second update!Ask for collection!Ask for recommendation!!)
36 hours, carrying 60 kilograms of full equipment, marching 200 kilometers in the dense forest, this is a completely impossible task. Even if the human body has been optimized for more than a thousand years, and the physical strength has far surpassed that of the ancient soldier kings, this is still difficult to achieve.
Nelly thought for a moment and ordered: "Stop advancing, rest for 10 minutes, remove the individual armor, and find a place to bury everything except ammunition, nutrients, and medical kits." We're going to travel light. ”
The dense jungle made it difficult to walk, Zhang Shan and Ottoman opened the way with machetes in front, followed by Zhang Wen and Han Dong, Li Jing and Aina were protected in the middle, Nelly, Kim Zhengyue, Wang Chao and Jack were at the end of the line, and everyone hurried away, not making a sound, not wasting a little physical strength.
Two hours had passed, the sun had risen, and the men had rested twice because of the difficulty of the march in the dense forest.
Bumper Bumper ......
At this time, there was a sudden burst of chaotic gunfire from the side and rear, and then the gunfire became more and more dense, and the team quickly stopped advancing, each finding cover, and protecting themselves, which was the result of three months of training, quickly and calmly.
"Captain, at 5 o'clock in the back of the side, about two kilometers away. Do you want to take a look?" Wang Chao reported to Nelly in a low voice.
Nelly looked back into the distance, with only dense forests and weeds in her eyes, and frowned, "Doctor, come here." ”
"What's the matter?"
"What do you think we should do now?go check and rescue?" Nelly threw the question to Zhang Wen again.
"You're the captain, you decide. ”
"You?" Nelly was very dissatisfied with Zhang Wen's non-commenting attitude, and said slightly angrily: "It's about everyone in the team, including you, I need your thoughts." ”
"Well, I think we should move on, the fight over there only shows that we were right in our previous judgment, and it doesn't matter to us who wins or loses. In fact, he didn't say a word, that is, these squads that fought continuously, one group must have received opposing tasks. Since you are a spy, but you don't have the patience of a spy, it is really stupid to launch an attack at this time.
"Do the others disagree? Okay, let's get on with our journey. Nelly solicited everyone's opinions, then made a decision, and then glanced at Zhang Wen meaningfully.
This kind of look obviously feels that Zhang Wen hasn't said everything in his heart yet, this little Nelly is very delicate, and Zhang Wen can guess the slightest idea in his heart.
"Wait. Zhang Wen stopped the team that was about to leave, turned to Nelly and said, "Nelly, if you continue to walk like this now, it will be too slow and it will be difficult to open the distance." ”
Nelly was also silent, looking at the other two female members of the team except for her, Li Jing and Aina were about to run out of physical strength after a night of tossing, and they couldn't walk for long, they might need to rest for a long time to recover their physical strength, and the others were also more than half physically exhausted.
Seeing that Nelly glanced at him, Han Dong quickly took out the map from his backpack and handed it over.
The human forces of the interstellar age still use ancient paper maps for some missions, because in some places the personal light brain is not very useful, and it is affected by many factors such as weather, signals, and map information.
Nelly looked at the paper map and studied it for about a minute against the stereoscopic satellite graphics on the light brain, then looked at Zhang Wen and said: "5 kilometers in the direction of 11 o'clock ahead, there is a river, we can go there, if it goes well, we can take the waterway." ”
By this time the distant gunfire had died down, and it seemed that the battle was over.
"Let's go. ”
......
In the vast jungle, there have been several battles, and all sides of the battle have been attritional, until one side has been eliminated. Due to the electromagnetic training bomb, there were no deaths, but only a few injured people have been taken away for treatment.
The teams already knew that this mission was actually a counter-espionage mission, so they all rushed forward with more caution. In the follow-up missions, only the earliest rush to the equipment depot to obtain the land mecha is the key.
At this time, the sixth team had already taken a raft down the river, saying that it was a raft, but in fact, it was more in line with its shape to call it a net.
Due to the lack of tools, the warriors who arrived at the river were stumped by making rafts, and it was okay to chop branches and leaves with machetes, but it was a dream to use them to cut wood. And the raft is not strong enough, the map shows that the river starts 50 kilometers downstream, there will be rapids, holding the wood and drifting down is the act of looking for death, if the raft is not strong, and looking for death is not much different.
In the end, Ottoman helped a lot, this guy has liked machinery since he was a child, and he is also extremely interested in mecha maintenance, and when he was in the new barracks, he always drove an engineering mecha to help the equipment department repair some damaged mechas, and he usually couldn't leave the laser drill, even when Nelly asked to travel lightly before, he was not willing to throw it away, and this time came in handy.
Fortunately, the laser drill he took was not a big guy for engineering robots, but a miniature drill that he usually loved, which could shoot laser beams and easily cut steel plates, even if it was a starship's alloy armor, as long as there was enough energy and time, it could be slowly worn through by this laser beam.
Ottoman took a laser drill to cut the waist-thick tree into many thick logs of different lengths, and then burned a lot of small eyes on the log, the team members followed his instructions, with vines through the small eyes, one by one to fix the logs, in the vines woven into a tight and tough net, covered on the 8-meter-long, 4-meter-wide raft frame, after repeated binding and weaving, finally, it took 5 hours, until noon, a simple raft made of logs and rattan nets was launched.
"Although it took five hours to make the raft, we should have been able to arrive a little earlier than expected due to the fast waterway. ”
"The main thing is that we have plenty of time to rest. ”
"That's right, Ultraman is really wonderful, and he still has this baby with him at this time. ”
Everyone finally settled down and started chatting.
The rest of the journey was quite pleasant, although several rapids almost capsized, but there was always no danger, and the team members could also take turns to sleep and rest, basically a 24-hour non-stop march.
Early the next morning, everyone was ready to go, 5 kilometers ahead of the shore needed to dock, and then 20 kilometers on foot to reach the target point, four or five hours earlier than expected, which was an absolute advantage.
Everything went well, but Zhang Wen always felt that something had been forgotten, and turned her head to look at Nelly, who also frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.
After being silent for a while, Nelly probably couldn't think of a reason, so she took out the map and prepared to open the light brain map for comparison.
What's missing?
