The time limit is two minutes; whoever completes the most tasks wins.
In daily assessments, the passing grade is 40 push-ups in two minutes, but Xiao Jiu always barely passes.
So when this senior student reached fifty-six, she readily admitted defeat.
"Senior brother, here's the rabbit. I don't need to cook anymore; I can't win."
Seeing how readily she agreed, the tall senior student felt a little sorry for her: "How about I share two rabbit legs with you?"
Xiao Jiu was still not used to eating with strangers, so she quickly declined.
"Huh? A bet's a bet, no thanks, no thanks, it's still alive, take it, take it!"
Compared to the senior students who suddenly appeared out of nowhere to launch a sneak attack, this guy was already very polite.
It's just a rabbit, she already has plenty, so she readily handed it over by the rabbit's ears and urged him to leave.
After her senior brother left, Xiao Jiu stopped roasting the rabbit and her fire quickly attracted many comrades.
However, after exchanging greetings, everyone went to find a place to start a fire.
Although the fire was right in front of them, they had to follow the rules: they had to start their own fire, prepare their own food for the day, and spend the night in the wild.
This is today's training subject; cheating would be pointless.
But Xiao Jiu had already caught the rabbit; she just hadn't taken it out yet. So, when no one was looking, she secretly ate a steamed bun with pickled vegetables.
Not satisfied, I peeled a duck egg, put it inside the second steamed bun, and ate it with great relish.
After finishing his meal, he took out a carton of fresh milk, slurped it down, and then contentedly took out the moisture-proof mat from his backpack.
While you're at it, sweep up some charcoal to scare away the insects under the soil nearby, then let it cool before laying down the mat.
Unable to resist the drowsiness any longer, he half-asleep pulled out a blanket, covered himself with it, and fell asleep.
While others were still covered in soot and grime from worrying about today's bonfire and food, Xiao Jiu had already drifted off to sleep.
She was woken up by the cold and found that the fire had gone out. She checked her watch and it was 2 a.m. She had slept so well that she was completely recharged!
Turning my head to look around the campsite, I found that most of the students' fires had gone out, and the few that remained were almost burned out.
After finding a place to relieve himself and covering the body with soil, he began packing his belongings.
I found the compass, carefully examined the map, and decided to walk in the dark, since it would be dawn soon anyway.
Instead of staying put and waiting, it's better to start walking slowly.
Entering the space where no one was around, I washed up and touched the clothes I had washed yesterday; they were already dry.
After packing everything into my backpack, I had a bowl of hot corn porridge, two boiled eggs, a multigrain pancake with two ounces of braised beef and two lettuce leaves to replenish my protein, vitamins and carbohydrates for the day, and I was full of energy to set off again.
After walking for about an hour, I came across Yuan Yuan, who was fast asleep under a tree, leaning against her backpack.
The campfire nearby had already gone out. After standing there for a moment to think, he ultimately said nothing and walked away.
She thought that since she set off a few hours early, she would be one of the first trainees to arrive at the camp, but to her surprise, she didn't even make it into the top ten.
These beasts, did they set off in the middle of the night without sleeping?
She was unlucky enough to come in eleventh place, but at least it was better than her result the day before yesterday.
The instructor saw her and said, "Not bad, you've improved!"
After being praised, he smiled broadly. Seeing his classmates sprawled on the ground in a disheveled state, and some even crawling like starving ghosts to the vicinity of the cooking squad's tent, he asked weakly, "Squad leader, when is dinner? I'm starving!"
"We'll have to wait until almost everyone arrives. The rule is to arrive before nine o'clock to be considered qualified. Just wait!"
If you're really hungry, then take a nap; it's only just dawn anyway.
"What? I have to wait several more hours? Ugh, I might as well starve to death!"
Some of them were in relatively good condition, but I couldn't help asking those who were starving and pale.
"What, you guys didn't eat anything yesterday?"
"Ugh, don't even mention it. I caught two mice, but I just didn't know how to bite them. In the end, I gritted my teeth and let them go."
After he finished speaking, the students next to him looked at him like he was an idiot: "Why don't you start a fire and roast it? Who told you to eat it raw?"
"Start a fire? My hands are practically crippled from all the turning, and I still can't get any smoke out. Look at them, they're blistered!"
Everyone: "..." So how did you pass the test during your practice?
"Would you believe me if I said that this also depends on luck?"
...
Xiao Jiu sat to the side, drinking water and listening to everyone's ramblings. Counting the time, he realized that there were only two days left to practice his professional subjects.
They found a shady spot, covered themselves with hats, and squinted their eyes to take a nap. Around 8 o'clock, all the trainees returned to their teams and had their meal early.
Hearing the cheers that sounded like drums and gongs, Xiao Jiu opened her eyes and saw Yuan Yuan tilting her head and looking at her.
"Awake? Hungry? Come on, let's go eat!"
When did you get back?
"I arrived around 7 a.m. You were sleeping so soundly when I came; I could even hear you snoring softly. Haha, so cute."
Xiao Jiu blushed. "How was it? Did it go smoothly yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuan's expression froze for a moment.
"They roasted a snake and ate a rat,"
If she hadn't gone a whole day without eating, Yuan Yuan would absolutely never have touched those two disgusting things.
Xiao Jiu stared at her in amazement: "Wow, you actually dared to catch a snake?"
"They delivered themselves to my door, so how could I not catch them? But snake meat does taste better than rat meat."
"Are they cooked through? Both of them have parasites."
"Don't worry, it's definitely cooked through, it's all black."
Yuan Yuan really didn't want to talk about yesterday's embarrassing history, so she pulled Xiao Jiu back to the meeting point, put down their luggage, and accepted the inspection.
I casually asked Xiao Jiu about her haul yesterday, and she had to tell me about the rabbit, skipping over the part about being robbed.
Breakfast at the campsite was simple: a bowl of porridge, two multigrain steamed buns, an egg, and a side dish of cold shredded radish.
Xiao Jiu ate a big breakfast, only eating a little shredded radish and drinking porridge. She secretly gave the remaining steamed buns and eggs to Yuan Yuan.
"I'm not hungry, you eat, eat more, who knows what kind of torment you'll find to give us today!"
Yuan Yuan's eyes widened. "That won't do. A bowl of porridge won't last long at all."
"I ate a lot yesterday, and it hasn't digested yet. If I eat any more, I'll get indigestion."
That's the end of it.
After the meal, as expected, they divided the students into different teams based on their different majors.
Based on the different mountainous terrains of this region, they were assigned different tasks to transfer the wounded.
Of course, the location and severity of the injuries varied among the wounded.
The first twenty trainees to arrive at the camp will be rewarded by being able to play the role of wounded soldiers being transferred.
Xiao Jiu's face darkened. Was he playing the role of a wounded soldier?
Wouldn't she be in great danger?
If the stretcher isn't carried steadily, you could fall!
Before her mind could even process what was happening, someone was already vying for her.
The reason is simple: among the top twenty, she was the only petite female student!
