Chapter 98 Special Training
To be honest, Zhang Wei was a little uncomfortable with the transition from a life of luxury to survival in the wilderness.
"We really have to stay here for a month?" Namir said with his eyes wide open, somewhat incredulous.
"No need," Zhang Wei shook her head, but what she said next made Namir's eyes, which had brightened up again, dim again:
"Mom said we only need to stay for 15 days. After all, we will learn to live independently in school in the future, so being here can be considered a trial. We can adjust ourselves after returning home during the remaining time, so that we can better adapt to future life."
"Ah—why don't Manny and Leida do this!"
"Because there was no Venus at that time!"
Isn’t this the training content that the lazy Venus came up with, and she even fooled Charles and his wife?
Namier began to comfort himself:
"She must have heard about us beating up a robber in London. Damn it. She knows we're incredibly strong and that physical training is no problem for us, so she changed her tactics."
You have to know that the so-called robber was just a skinny guy about 1.7 meters tall. Why was Namir so confident? Forget it, he should be able to accept it more if he thinks this way.
Zhang Wei only began to observe the surrounding environment now. Although it was a jungle, the trees here were actually quite sparse, and the grass was not very tall, at least not up to her shoulders.
Summer is the dry season and the surroundings seem relatively dry, but they still have to find a place to stay for the night.
"Now that we're here, let's see where we can stay!"
Afterwards, they put their suitcases aside and walked around with their backpacks on.
It took about an hour to walk around the area and I found that Venus was not too demanding. There was a small river nearby. The further you walked, the more rocks there were and the less vegetation there was, and the view became much wider.
So this place should be on the edge of the jungle and Gobi. Zhang Wei even saw cacti. Finally, he didn't have to worry too much about food. After all, cacti were not poisonous, and he could survive on a vegetarian diet for a while.
Since the two of them were going to live together for fifteen days, Zhang Wei abandoned the idea of making decisions on his own and first asked Namier for his opinion:
"Where do you think we should set up camp?"
"We can't get too close to the water."
This idea coincides with Zhang Wei's.
He also explained: "We don't know what animals are here, but the animals nearby must know that there is a water source here, so it is safer to stay away."
"That's true. I agree." Zhang Wei nodded.
Namir continued to suggest, "Maybe we can go to the Gobi Desert and find some big rocks. That way we can get away from the ground and protect ourselves from small animals."
This is Zhang Wei but he shook his head:
"You have to know that snakes and centipedes are very good at crawling, and rocks won't do much for them."
"Of course trees are high and safe, but we can't sleep in trees either. It's a pity we didn't bring a hammock, otherwise it would be safer if we tied it higher."
"It's better to sleep on rocks than on the ground."
Namir said with some regret.
"You have a good idea, but I also think we don't need a hammock and maybe we can sleep in a tree."
Zhang Wei said as he looked at the long and thin weeds at his feet and the vines wrapped around some trees.
"I have an idea, Namir. I promise I can let you sleep in a tree, but first you have to go cut as many vines as possible!"
"I'm going to look up there to see if there's a suitable tree."
Namir was a little skeptical, but he always trusted Zhang Wei, so he did as he was told.
They still had small tools like knives and scissors. Zhang Wei brought a full set of manicure tools and a multifunctional Swiss Army knife on her keychain. Namier only had more than her, and his knife was a little bigger.
Zhang Wei walked to a place about one thousand meters away from the stream. There was a slightly higher place with several big trees thicker than bowls. She didn't know what kind of trees they were.
The best way would have been to use these trees as support to build a wooden platform as a bed, and then build a roof on it, so that a simple suspended tree house would be ready.
Unfortunately, they did not have convenient tools for felling trees. Namier's largest knife was only the size of a fruit knife. It would take too much time to cut down large quantities of materials.
So Zhang Wei decided to weave a mesh platform with rattan, hoping that Namir could find as many rattans as possible.
There should be no need to worry about the food for these meals, because Zhang Wei thought that the training camp was similar to the training of domestic troops, and he imagined that the food would not be very good, so before leaving, he went to the storage room at home to get a few cans of luncheon meat.
"Vera! Where are you!" Namir started looking for her.
"Here! Here!"
I have to say that Namir is really fast. Soon he appeared in sight holding a bundle of brown vines.
"The leaves are larger and more brittle, not as strong, and can be torn apart with a little force."
Namir put the vine down and pointed to another vine with fewer and sparser leaves. "This one is stronger. It should be able to be used to tie things."
"That's great, Namiel!"
Then Zhang Wei told Namir her idea, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
After observation, they found that if they wanted to use the power of the trees, they had to include all five trees in the range, otherwise the net bag would be too small and it would be inconvenient for two people to rest.
Moreover, these trees are relatively tall, with branches only about 1.8 meters above the ground, so they can only tie vines according to the position of the branches to secure them.
Moreover, the heights of tree forks are different, so the tightness of the vines needs to be used to adjust the height to a uniform range so that it will be level.
In the end, they needed a lot of rattan, and Namier only brought enough to make an outline, so for these reasons the two of them were busy all day and barely managed to weave a large net bed.
Nothing else could be done, but there was grass everywhere. The two of them cut a lot of grass and spread it on the net. Although it was a little shaky after sitting on it, it was still quite sturdy.
The main thing is that the combined weight of the two of them is less than 100 kilograms, and the net is in the shape of a pentagon, which is quite spacious.
They brought enough clothes, and it wasn't cold here at night, but they were afraid of mosquitoes, so Zhang Wei even covered his face tightly when he slept.
They were exhausted that day, but fortunately neither of them was pretentious. Venus's regular training was effective, and Namir's physical and mental endurance were pretty good.
Apart from complaining a bit, Zhang Wei would do almost anything he said, so the two of them would still have company.
They were so busy that they shared a can of luncheon meat in the evening. They didn't care about whether it was clean or not, and fell asleep exhausted.
