It seems that there is a window period during which they can relax and rest temporarily.
Jiang Maimiao held a meeting with the team, "The four of us will take turns to investigate, each person will be on duty for half an hour."
"Okay, Maimiao, we will all listen to you."
The four of them reached a tacit understanding. Jiang Maimiao handed the telescope to another teammate, and when he turned around, he saw Qiao Ying eating.
That is the food ration for the two of them.
"Qiao Ying, are you crazy?" Jiang Maimiao snatched Qiao Ying's rations.
It was less than half a day and they had already started eating only two days' worth of rations. Qiao Ying wouldn't be able to make it to the third day like this.
Qiao Ying was cheerful and said to Jiang Maimiao with a smile, "I didn't even have breakfast. It's normal for me to be hungry after all the marching and climbing. I'm still young and growing, so of course I need to eat to fill my stomach."
"Qiao Ying, if you start eating now, you won't last until the third day."
Jiang Maimiao frowned deeply. She had more concerns. The first day must be the easiest day. On the second and third days, the intensity of the competition would only increase, and more strength would be needed then.
Qiao Ying rubbed his stomach and said, "I don't need to eat on the third day. Give me the rations and I'll eat a little more."
"No!" Jiang Maimiao flatly rejected Qiao Ying and stuffed Qiao Ying's rations into her backpack, saying, "If you eat the rations now, you will be even less able to beat me on the third day!"
Qiao Ying was still smiling, turned her head and looked at Jiang Maimiao and said, "Why? Do you really want me to beat you?"
"Qiao Ying, if you beat me, I would be very happy."
Jiang Maimiao said seriously, looking at Qiao Ying with an unusual look.
The look in Qiao Ying's eyes as she looked at Jiang Maimiao changed silently. Jiang Maimiao had clearly snatched away her only food for the competition, but she was not worried at all and just let Jiang Maimiao's backpack fall.
Qiao Ying asked, "What are we going to do now?"
"Let's go find something to eat." Jiang Maimiao said, "There's a lot of food in the mountains. We can fill our stomachs even without the rations."
Qiao Ying liked Jiang Maimiao's arrangement. She was very hungry, but she was a little worried. "Aren't you afraid that Captain Lu will launch another attack?"
Jiang Maimiao shook his head, "I don't think we'll attack again today."
"Why?"
Jiang Maimiao said, "I don't know, it's just my intuition."
Qiao Ying raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn’t know where Jiang Maimiao’s conclusion came from, but... what happened later turned out to be right.
…
On the other side, outside the woods, Lu Cheng sat in a jeep, looking at the dusty recruits.
He tilted his head and asked, "How many people were eliminated in total?"
"Reporting to Captain Lu, a total of sixteen people have been eliminated."
In less than two hours of field training, eighteen people were eliminated. It was really shameful.
"Okay, go and rest." Lu Cheng ordered.
The veteran soldier who was in charge of capturing the new recruits was dumbfounded. "Rest? Captain Lu, how can we rest now? Aren't we going to pursue the victory?"
Lu Cheng turned his head and glanced at him. "They are just a group of new recruits who have been training for three months. What's there to chase? It won't be shameful to catch up with you. That's it for today. Everyone, rest where you are. Fire a few shots at the woods every once in a while. That will be enough to scare them."
On the first day when the new recruits were in hiding, they would flee everywhere like birds in the woods when they heard the sound of gunfire.
Just the fact that they were scaring themselves was enough to make them panic.
Chase? No need to waste the effort.
Lu Cheng patted the old soldier's shoulder, leaned back on the jeep seat, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
He...misses Xiao Anbao a little. He heard that Qin Sanye took his family to the capital, and he doesn't know where they are now.
A few hours later.
Jiang Maimiao found edible wild apples, persimmons, chestnuts, wild mushrooms growing on trees (pictured), and wild kiwis in the mountains.
Among them, chestnut is the most special, because chestnut contains high starch, can be used as a staple food, and has a stomach function.
Jiang Maimiao also found a tree hole on the branch of a big tree. He took a branch and dug into the hole...hazelnuts fell out of the hole with a clatter.
Qiao Ying was not familiar with the forest at all, so she just watched Jiang Maimiao looking for food everywhere, and she just had to put the food into her backpack.
She looked at the well-stocked tree hole and asked in surprise, "Maimiao, did you hide something in this tree?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is a squirrel's burrow."
Jiang Maimiao picked and chose from a pile of stock, selected some nuts of better quality, and stuffed the rest into the tree hole.
