As dawn approached, Yi Mu and Suo Yanghe changed shifts with the others. When they woke up again, their watches showed eight o'clock in the morning.
A log was placed on the fire, with two kettles hanging from it. The team leader was stirring the kettles with a smooth stick that had been peeled from Grandma's clothes, and a fragrant aroma wafted from them.
It tastes like beef jerky and pork skin jelly.
Yi Mu's stomach rumbled, and he walked to the fire. Ge Liang tossed him something.
Yi Mu took it, almost burning his hand raw. He had to switch hands several times before he could finally grasp the object.
That's probably a fruit from the island; it's high in starch and tastes a bit like a potato.
Yi Mu's mouth was covered in black ash, which he casually wiped with his sleeve.
Liangliang handed over a cup of hot water at just the right moment, and Yimu gulped it down, finally letting out a long breath and feeling completely awake.
Suo Yanghe watched from the side and thought that Yi Mu probably wouldn't starve to death no matter where he was.
With their basic needs met, the team leader began assigning tasks.
"There are four hours left until the deadline. The other four teams must be preparing now. Yi Mu, you are quick, go with Suo Yanghe to scout out the situation of the other teams."
Yi Mu wanted to say that he could manage on his own, but the captain's orders had to be carried out.
The captain hadn't finished speaking.
"Liangliang and Ge Guang will work together to figure out how to set up traps and plant bombs. The twins will find high ground in the surrounding area, but they need to be careful of enemy snipers. Xiangya and I will stay where we are."
As he spoke, he tossed two compasses to Yimu and Suoyanghe.
"Go and come back quickly. You must be back before midnight. Everyone must be in combat mode by then."
Yi Mu and Suo Yanghe accepted the order, left the camp, and explored the surrounding area.
Visibility in the woods is much better during the day than at night, but the ground with bushes makes it difficult to even walk, let alone see anything.
The two men had camouflage paint on their faces, making them almost blend into their surroundings.
They struggled into a thicket overgrown with thorny plants, barely managing to move for half an hour.
Suo Yanghe suddenly grabbed Yi Mu, and the two of them fell to the ground in the jungle.
“There are people ahead, more than one,” Suo Yanghe said in a low voice.
About fifty meters ahead of them, a group of people were cleaning up the leftovers.
Through the telescope, Yi Mu saw that they were the skeletons of several fish. These J-star soldiers must have enjoyed a delicious meal of sashimi not long ago.
Then I noticed some leftover dipping sauce on the ground.
They're really something, bringing mustard and ginger with them even when they come out.
Suo Yanghe knew their captain, a man with superb swordsmanship, whose name was He Zhen.
About three years ago, he was ordered to go on a mission and happened to run into He Zhen. The other party pulled out a folding knife and Suo Yanghe was seriously injured.
The two of them came out simply to scout out the situation.
Knowing that the J Planet team had marked the spot over there in the bushes, they quietly left.
Next, Yi Mu and Suo Yanghe found the M planet people feasting on the beach.
They had hunted a shark, and for the time being, as long as the meat didn't rot, they wouldn't have to worry about food.
However, judging from Barrett's outburst of anger, smashing coconut shells and hurling insults, they are likely currently facing a severe shortage of freshwater resources.
Deep within the forest, the N Planet team leaned against a large tree, digging out a number of protein-rich insects from under the roots and feasting on them.
Yi Mu made a disgusted "Eh" sound: "They're so unrefined."
Suo Yanghe secretly laughed at his childishness.
"If Liangliang hadn't had that bag of snacks with him, we might be eating this stuff right now."
