The speed of the 85th Regiment was not slow, because the brothers who opened the road only needed to continue to widen, and there was no need to explore the road, and the headquarters of the Fifth Army in front and the brothers who had retreated earlier had already left them a trail to the jungle.

"Salt water is saved, and you can drink it in two hours."

"Brother, is there any water to drink on the road, get some supplements."

Feng Yi looked up at the surrounding lush jungle, and he felt that there should be a water source nearby.

"Captain, there's a waterhole over here."

At this time, marching through the jungle, the brothers could no longer distinguish whether their wet clothes were rain or sweat, and after walking for less than two hours, their chests were pressed against their backs from hunger, and as for the water, they had drunk half a pot of salt water under strict orders.

"Sir, you can't drink it!"

The guide shouted that there were many pools of water in the forest, but they were all stagnant water, and once drunk, it would definitely not be worse than poison.

"Don't drink!"

"We must get some drinking water for the brothers, and when the salt water is gone, how can we get to the back?"

Feng Yi frowned, the salt water was not used to quench thirst, but to keep the brothers strong.

"Look for water vines and wild plantain trees."

The guide nodded, of course they knew what was in the jungle to drink, and that was why they had been able to make it all the way out.

"Boom!"

The stopped team sat on the spot and watched as the guide weaved through the surrounding woods, the sound of hunting knives chopping vines kept coming.

"Sir, found it, here."

A guide shouted, holding a branch in his hand, and the cut in the branch kept leaving clear water.

"That way, you can drink it by putting your mouth on the incision."

The guide put the twig-like thing to his mouth and sucked greedily.

"It's a twig, why don't you cut it?"

The water vines in front of him spread wide in the jungle, and soon, dozens of brothers held a cut of water vines in their hands, and the sweet water overflowed their throats.

"Sir, that's the patron saint of life for our hunters; It is a gift from the whole jungle, and if you cut down its mother for the first time you see it, the whole plant will die; He is the source of water for all who go into the jungle, and if it is only for a sip of water, destroy it; We will become the enemy of the whole jungle, and bad luck will never make it out of the jungle. ”

The guide's face changed suddenly, and he kept shaking his head at Feng Yi, the branches of the water vine were very long, and it was enough for each brother to take a sip.

"Look, sir, this one is also a water vine, but there is no water ...... in it at all."

The guide walked to the side, and a similarly grown vine had been cut under the knife, and there was not even the smell of water.

"If you cut through here, is there a lot of water in it?"

Feng Yi didn't care about the guide, and asked stubbornly, in his understanding, even the branches can make water, isn't it a spring in Mu Teng?

"Sir, I haven't cut it; If you really insist on this, we can only leave, and you will go on your own; This is the source of life for our bushhunters, and our ancestors told us that even if we die, we cannot destroy it. ”

The guide's face was full of solemnity, indicating that he was not joking.

"Hehe, I'm just asking, asking......"

Feng Yi sneered, he hadn't entered the core area yet, he had broken away from the big army, and there was no guide, so he was looking for death by himself.

"Brother, there's a wild plantain here."

A shout was heard, and a guide shouted, poking his head out of the jungle.

"Sir, the wild banana tree can be cut down, and there is water in it, but the water can only be taken and drunk on the spot......

The guide captain let out a sigh of relief, and now he felt that he had committed a crime by telling Mizuto to these soldiers? Thankfully, now there's finally something to distract them.

"Keep going!"

The wild plantains were all forested, and it was impossible for one to be there, so the brothers ate a little dry food, regained a little strength, and went on the road again in the jungle.

"What the hell is this place!"

It was raining, and as we marched through the endless jungle, the leaves above our heads continued to make a sound of ticking, and the sound grew denser and heavier, and the raindrops fell on the heads of the brethren through the layers of leaves overhead, at first the size of a soybean, then into strings of copper coins, and in a moment it became a torrential rain, and the only path was full of mud.

"Click, click!"

"Be careful!"

In the muddy pit where their boots were on the ground and their ankles were submerged, the brothers struggled to walk, and each step required a great deal of physical strength, as was the case with the empty-handed brothers, and even more so for the brothers who carried the stretchers and supported the wounded soldiers, who had to change hands every ten minutes or so.

"Ten minutes off!"

Feng Ye shouted, he was also tired now, because he had to help Wang Ying to go; Wang Ying is still good, the volunteers who came out of the field hospital have five doctors and more than 20 nurses, and these people now have to rely on the support of the brothers to move forward.

"How far have we come? Can you get in there today? ”

Feng Yi looked up, the palm-sized sky was full of rain, he didn't know where he was now, even the compass was not working.

"Sir, it's time to speed up; There are still three hours left before I can go again, and I have to find a place to get ready to rest. ”

The guide captain looked at the sky, the inside of the jungle was different from the outside, as soon as four o'clock in the afternoon, they could not go again, that time was the peak of the activities of all kinds of insects and snakes, and the thin light through the jungle would block their vision, and the danger would be very great at that time.

"No, you can't exhaust all the physical strength of the brothers on the first day, but at this rate, rest when it's time to set up camp."

Feng Yi was unmoved, this team was destined to be slower than normal, as long as they walked out of the core area and reached the edge of Gengma's jungle, at that time, it was time to fight hard.

"Keep going, take care of the doctor and the wounded; Three platoon leaders, change your way! ”

Wang Ning shouted, let the second company and the third platoon take over the brothers in the first battalion in front.

"Your own guide is so good!"

Feng Ye held a wild fruit in his hand, which was sour and difficult to eat, but this thing was good for quenching thirst or filling stomach, and this was the role of guides from their own country, who would always look for something that could replace food and water on the way when marching.

"Sir, you can't go any further, there is a place in front of you that can be used as a place to rest tonight, there is no better place ahead."

The leader of the guide wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed to the front of the path.

"Okay, listen to you."

Feng Yi put the telescope in front of him, but he put it down in an instant, because he couldn't see the place the guide said at all, and the dense bushes and woods blocked his vision.

Now Feng Ye had to trust them 100%, and today's march had allowed him to see too many secrets in the jungle, the duty to get water, the place to find clean groundwater, the drinking water and the running water that would kill people, and so on; Without these guides, he felt that he would not be able to get out of this jungle.
