Chapter 161
, mutant bug siege
After all, there were six people eating. Although Yu Keke and others took out some beef jerky, it was still not enough, so Fang Xin took out some dried potatoes.
It makes several people enjoy the meal once.
I have to say that this rice is really authentic. The aroma fills the nose and arouses everyone's taste buds.
There are several large white cakes on top, which have absorbed the soup and taste pretty good.
Several people held their lunch boxes and waited for Yu Keke to share their food.
She first served Fang Xin a large bowl and two large cakes that they had brought with them.
After distributing the rice, there was still some food left in the pot. Fang Xin looked up at the soldiers who were squatting on the ground and chewing on compressed biscuits.
He raised his chin slightly towards that side.
Yu Keke understood immediately and immediately served the remaining dishes over.
"Comrade, we still have some vegetables left here. They can't be kept in such a hot day. Let's give them to you. If they go bad, they will be wasted."
When the soldiers heard this, they knew exactly why there was so much food? This was a well-intentioned excuse made up by the host because the host was afraid that they would feel embarrassed to refuse.
They were grateful in their hearts. Food was precious nowadays, and when they went out of the base to carry out missions, they carried compressed biscuits for the hunger march. The biscuits were very hard, tasteless in the mouth, and made their cheeks hurt.
The six team members all looked at the captain eagerly; they had not eaten meat for a long time.
The captain felt bad when he saw the eager eyes of his teammates. Several of his teammates kept swallowing their saliva. As a captain, how could he not feel distressed?
"That's fine. We won't eat your food for free. We'll give you points when we get back."
"It doesn't matter whether you get points or not. This duck is the result of our family's hard work. You just need to thank her. It's fate that we all came out to do the mission together. Let's work together to complete the mission."
Yu Keke also wanted to make friends and maintain good relations with them so as not to cause trouble for them, after all, human hearts are unpredictable.
The captain nodded, "Okay, no problem."
"Thank Comrade Fang for me, too."
"Okay, eat it while it's hot. I'm going back now."
Normally, she wouldn't eat these ordinary foods because she had become so picky with food. After all, there were better foods to eat, so who would eat these?
But eating with so many people seemed to be very delicious, and she actually ate it all up.
The two groups of people finished their dinner quickly, and everyone looked extremely happy.
Although I didn't eat very much, only about 70% full, but I was already very satisfied.
The captain saw that everyone had finished their meal, so he walked over and said politely, "Comrade Fang, have your men go out to collect some dry firewood in the evening and set up a circle five meters outside the rest area."
"There are also two people who will be on guard duty at night, two per team, so make the arrangements."
As the name suggests, night watch is for safety and to provide early warning of danger.
The dry firewood should be used to resist the siege of insects, as insects are generally afraid of fire.
I have to say that he was very thoughtful. As a former soldier, his knowledge of survival in the wild is better than that of ordinary people.
"OK."
Yu Keke and the others watched the captain leave, so they came over and asked curiously, "Why do you have to pick up so much firewood?"
“To keep away insects.”
"Oh, this is serious business, let's hurry up."
So Fang Xin took the dog and went out to collect firewood.
There was quite a lot of dry firewood nearby, and everyone picked up a lot of it and formed a circle in the rest area.
If you are besieged by insects, lighting some dry firewood can help to fend them off for a while.
Fang Xin was not on the night watch today, so she set up her own tent and went in with her dog.
Take out a basin filled with ice from the space and place it in the corner.
A slight cool breeze spread out, and the temperature in the tent slowly dropped.
Fang Xin and the dog slowly developed a desire for sleep. When going out, one must develop the ability to fall asleep, and must fall asleep quickly, which is an essential skill.
You need to ensure your body gets enough rest so that you can be in a good mental state the next day and deal with emergencies or dangers.
At around one o'clock in the middle of the night, Fang Xin heard a very small sound coming from a distance.
Swish, swish, swish!
It was the sound of something crawling across the ground.
The man and the dog quickly opened their eyes.
Fang Xin sat up and listened carefully again. Yes, just like last time, it was the sound of insects crawling across the ground.
Sure enough, the insects were rampant and there was no moment of peace.
She quickly stood up, not forgetting to put the ice basin back into the space. At this time, all the ice in the basin had melted into water.
She walked out of the tent with a night vision telescope in her hand.
"Wake up, something's wrong."
The person on guard at this time was Yu Keke. When she heard the voice, she turned around. She didn't ask many questions, but with a serious expression on her face, she quickly woke up the team members.
The person on the night watch was a little soldier. He came over and asked, "What's going on?"
"There are mutant bugs attacking us. Go wake up the others."
Although the little soldier had his doubts in his heart, he did not notice anything unusual, but he did not dare to relax at all. Now that the mutant insects were rampant, he immediately returned and woke up the others.
The captain strode over and asked, "What did you hear?"
Fang Xin pointed, "The mutant bugs are attacking from over there. My dog heard it. You know dogs have very sharp hearing."
Fang Xin did not tell anyone else what he had heard. After all, it was difficult to explain, so it was easy to understand why he just pushed it to Gouzi.
The captain looked at the dog with its hair standing on end, its head facing that direction and its teeth bared, its whole body on alert.
He had heard Instructor Yan say that this dog was very smart.
His heart instantly rose in his chest and he hurried back.
Fang Xin watched the two groups of people quickly get dressed.
Some held shotguns, and some held something like a sledgehammer.
Everything was ready to go, and she took out the flamethrower from the trunk.
When I took out the long flamethrower, I immediately felt safe.
One of the soldiers ran over and handed two bottles of gasoline to Fang Xin. "Come on, you guys help too. Pour some gasoline on the dry firewood."
"OK."
Yu Keke quickly took the two bottles of gasoline and threw them to one of the male team members, "Go quickly."
The two men quickly split up and the dry firewood around the perimeter was soon doused with gasoline.
A total of twelve people, including two drivers, were ready to go, waiting for the mutant insects to approach from a distance.
The rustling sound was getting closer and closer. Everyone heard the sound and became nervous. They clenched their weapons in their hands and became alert.
Fang Xin put down the telescope and said, "Here they come."
As Fang Xin finished speaking, a black shadow quickly rushed towards the crowd.
First a huge mutant insect jumped out, it was more than one meter long, and a huge centipede appeared in front of everyone.
It has a hard black and red shell on its body, and many legs underneath it are constantly wriggling.
Behind him were densely packed mutant insects, each as long as a finger.
It stood still, with the two tentacles on its head shaking constantly, as if it was giving orders.
There were many mutant insects behind him, with multiple legs, attacking continuously.
Its body is covered with sharp spines and its mouth constantly secretes mucus.
There are also small centipedes with hard shells on their backs and multiple legs that move quickly backwards.
There were also many scorpions, holding two hard pincers, coming with great momentum.
