Jiang Rong got up after only a few hours of sleep.
It rained a little last night, and the forest became even more humid. The smell of the rain soaking the soil was brought out by the wind, and it wasn't a pleasant smell.
Song Yanzhen said sleepily: "It's only seven o'clock...why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Jiang Rong said, "Let's go find something in the morning. It will be hard to find once the sun comes out."
Song Yanzhen was puzzled, "What are you looking for?"
"Find some lunch." Jiang Rong said casually.
She found a puddle to wash her face and rinse her mouth. She rummaged under a tree not far away and found a mushroom that had just emerged. She said to Song Yanzhen, "Take off your coat."
Song Yanzhen took off his coat and followed her like a human basket, holding the mushrooms that Jiang Rong had found in his coat.
"Do you know these mushrooms?" Song Yanzhen asked curiously, "They all look different."
"I guess we know each other. I stayed here for a while before." Jiang Rong frowned slightly when she mentioned that experience, but because it was not very pleasant, she did not mention it much.
Song Yanzhen realized that Jiang Rong's past experience seemed very colorful, but he was tactful and did not ask too many questions.
Seeing Jiang Rong picking mushrooms, he was also eager to try. After careful selection, he found a very beautiful one. Just as he reached out his hand, Jiang Rong asked: "Are you tired of living?"
Song Yan was really startled by her: "Ah?"
"This thing is extremely poisonous." Jiang Rong chuckled. "If you eat it, you'll be going to hell before the logistics department can even get you to the hospital."
Song Yanzhen quickly withdrew his hand.
He was surprised and said, "Is it really that poisonous? I think it looks pretty, and the red color is so pretty."
"Then you want to try it?"
"Forget it then." Song Yanzhen said angrily. He didn't dare to look for those beautiful mushrooms with bright colors anymore. He just looked at the mushrooms picked by Jiang Rong and followed him to look for them.
Because it rained last night, this place was suitable for mushroom growth, and they soon had a good harvest. Jiang Rong caught a pheasant and made two pots of chicken stewed with mushrooms in the examination room.
Song Yanzhen looked at the two stone pots bubbling over the fire and asked doubtfully, "We two probably can't eat this much, right?"
Jiang Rong put the salt that had been extracted before into the pot and stirred it casually with a wooden stick. The mushroom and chicken soup tasted very delicious.
For candidates like them who have been eating fast food or tasteless grilled fish and meat all day and night, it is very tempting.
"We'll have guests coming later." Jiang Rong said calmly, "Of course we have to cook more."
Song Yanzhen wiped his saliva silently, coughed, and said, "Who are you talking about?"
"There was such a big commotion last night, and the others weren't dead, so of course we came to check on them." Jiang Rong said with a smile, "It's almost ready, let's eat."
Song Yanzhen hurriedly took the plastic box and filled a bowl for herself. This was what they found in the camp last night. In addition to the plastic bowl, there were also disposable chopsticks and spoons.
"Just drink from this pot, don't touch the other one." Jiang Rong instructed.
Song Yanzhen was puzzled: "Aren't they all the same?"
Seeing Jiang Rong's expressionless face, he said "oh" again and stopped asking.
Jiang Rong's judgment was very accurate. Just as they finished their meal, a group of people came over.
After a rough count, there were actually more people than in the camp last night, about fifteen or sixteen.
"Hey!" a girl in the lead called out, "Are you the group that got four points last night?"
When the exam just started, there was no outbreak of heads, so there was no need for candidates to kill each other, but now the situation is different.
All the candidates you meet on the road may have points. If you are lucky enough to run into someone with points, you can kill him and take the points for yourself.
Therefore, the relationship between candidates is now tense.
Although this group of people were standing about ten meters away, they had already raised their weapons and were obviously ready to take action at any time.
Jiang Rong immediately said, "It's not us! We just happened to be camping here. We heard the gunshots last night and didn't dare to sleep."
The girl was startled when she saw her appearance.
In the morning mist, Jiang Rong's skin was snow-white, her eyebrows and eyes were black, but her lips were a fresh red. Her black hair was casually tied into a pigtail, and her training clothes were covered with dirt and grass. However, even so, it did not detract from her beauty.
She is like an elf in the deep mountains and dense forests, ignorant of the world.
Looking at the young man next to her, he also looked like a pretty boy with red lips and white teeth. These two people looked like vases and did not pose any threat at all.
Last night's radio broadcast reported that No. 98 took three of the four heads and No. 41 took one. These two people and the extremely brutal No. 41 seem to have nothing in common. It would be too much to say that these two people wiped out an entire patrol team.
"Sister." Jiang Rong looked at the girl with hope. "With so many of you, have you decided to cooperate? Can we join you? I'm really afraid that 41 will come and kill us..."
Song Yan looked at the weak and vulnerable person in front of him as if he had seen a ghost.
No matter what he did, he couldn't connect this dodder-like girl with the person who had been shot in the head last night.
Perhaps fearing that the girl would not agree, Jiang Rong quickly added, "Sister, we cooked mushroom soup with salt. It tastes great. Let's try it together!"
The candidates, who were already a little hungry, suddenly became restless.
They were not very lucky. The small supply point they found only had guns and ammunition, but no food at all. After two meals of tasteless barbecue, their mouths were almost bland. Now, after drinking a can of mushroom soup with salt, they could no longer control themselves.
The girl was also somewhat tempted. Seeing that the two were indeed useless, she took the initiative to walk over and said, "Hello, my name is You Chunxiao. If you want to join us, you can, but I have to say this upfront. We are just temporarily together. If we meet, the points will be determined by our own ability."
Jiang Rong nodded quickly and said gratefully, "It's great that you're willing to take us with you! Otherwise, I don't know how I would survive in such a horrible place."
As she spoke, she wiped away her tears tenderly, and she looked so adorable.
You Chunxiao: “…” What was he thinking when such a loser came to take the exam?
Jiang Rong turned around and asked the stunned Song Yanzhen to take out the tableware and distribute mushroom soup to everyone. More than a dozen people sat together and finally had a hot and delicious meal.
You Chunxiao took a sip of the soup and found it very delicious. Her attitude towards Jiang Rong also improved. She asked, "Did you see which way those people went last night?"
Jiang Rong nodded: "I saw them. They went north, and it seemed they were going to a large supply point."
You Chunxiao hummed and drank another sip of soup. She wanted to ask Jiang Rong about what happened last night, but her eyes were dazed for a moment. She suddenly stared at Jiang Rong, frowning and looking serious: "You..."
Jiang Rong asked softly, "What's wrong, sister?"
You Chunxiao: "...Why is there a little person flying above your head? And why are there subtitles when you speak?"
“…And it’s the English subtitles?!”
