Chapter 116 Start Patrol

Although Lin Yi is not picky about food, Lin Yi still feels a little uncomfortable when only rice is served on the table.

Last night, after chatting about breakfast with the squad leader of No. 8, I fell asleep as soon as possible because I thought about patrolling the next day. Even if I couldn't sleep, I forced myself to rest.

When I woke up the next day, it was already dawn. During the morning exercises, squad leader 8 specially reduced the amount of exercise in order to take care of Lin Yi.

But even so, Lin Yi still felt out of breath. Obviously, the amount of exercise is easy to grasp in the plains, so why is it so unsuitable now.

Squad 8 was not too surprised when he saw Lin Yi's physical condition, "It's like this in plateau areas, the stronger you are, the more he will target you, because the muscles of the human body consume a lot of oxygen, so the more serious you are, the more serious we will be." Happy."

"After the one-week adaptation period has passed, you will find that the strength is continuously supplied to you. At that time, you can really become a plateau frontier soldier."

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "No wonder I felt so tired when I lifted the generator last night. It turned out to be because of my strength."

After the morning exercises, I went into the restaurant and started to eat. There was only one dish, which was cold cucumber.

You may think, yo, you can still eat cold cucumbers in winter, this food is not cheap.

In winter in the north, cucumber is an off-season vegetable. I don’t know it in other places, but the author’s fungus has already cost more than seven yuan a catty, and it is a relatively expensive vegetable.

Moreover, cucumber itself accounts for the weight, and it is more expensive to buy. It is basically a vegetable that can only be eaten during the festival.

It is not easy to eat once.

But the cold cucumbers made in the outpost are not attractive. This is by no means a bad taste. It’s just that when you eat it in your mouth, you will find that it is really difficult to taste the cucumber cubes that are as cold as ice. .

Especially in such a cold weather, after morning exercises, even after returning to the outpost where the room temperature is more than ten degrees, there will still be air-conditioning from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside.

So no one touched this cold dish when it was on the table. They scooped up a large bowl of rice, buried two pieces of cucumber in the rice, and ate it with cold sauce.

Lin Yi didn't know, so he picked up a few cucumbers with his chopsticks, and when he ate them, he was shocked and started to plan the rice.

It seems that the temperature of the freshly cooked rice is not low, but the room temperature is not high, so it cools down very quickly. No matter how fast you eat it, after 10 minutes, the rice will basically lose its temperature.

I don't know if it was because of the high air pressure. Anyway, Lin Yi used to eat rice in the normal army. After 10 minutes, he went to refill the rice. The rice was still steaming, but it didn't work at the outpost.

Everyone ate very quickly, especially the squad leader of No. 8, who directly picked up the rice bowl and dug it into his mouth. One point here is that not all the tableware in the post is a plate, because there are only twelve people, so there is no meal sharing system.

On the contrary, it is the same as the way the army eats decades ago. There is only one vegetable bowl, which is an iron dinner plate with the same caliber as the rhubarb bowl.

Then there is an iron basin larger than a noodle bowl per capita, which is a rice bowl, and everyone is crazily planing rice at this time.

There is no electricity, and I can't even cook eggs. I can only rely on rice for nutrition in the morning. Lin Yi is going out to patrol today, so he doesn't dare not eat enough, so he can only cook with everyone.

After drying two pots, Lin Yi touched his swollen stomach and exhaled, "It's the first time I've eaten so much since I came to the army."

After the 8th squad leader finished his meal, he began to stuff compressed dry food into his pocket. Originally, he wanted to improve the patrol food with two packs of self-heating food for Lin Yi's first patrol, but considering the cold weather, self-heating The food is also undercooked, and the raw rice is uncomfortable to eat, so it is better to bring two more compressed biscuits.

So he took his hand away from the self-heating food.

The rest of the soldiers on patrol also started to stuff dry food into their pockets with the squad leader, and they took whatever the squad leader took. When they saw that the squad leader didn't touch the self-heating food, everyone didn't look at the self-heating food, just focused on Take compressed dry food.

Lin Yi was shocked when he saw everyone stuffing whole bags of compressed dry food into their pockets, "The compressed dry food in our army is very hungry, and three pieces of compressed dry food are enough to fill the stomach. What are you doing with two bags?"

There are ten yuan in one pack, and two packs are a full 20 yuan, which is enough for three days.

Squad 8 laughed and said: "There is no harm in bringing more. The patrol road is extremely difficult. In case something happens, three days' rations are enough to support the rescue."

"Besides, we only ate rice in the morning, which didn't have enough calories. We had to replenish dry food two hours later, so don't worry if you bring more."

Lin Yi felt reasonable after hearing this, and immediately stuffed dry food into his pocket.

After a while, Master Wu also ran out and handed Lin Yi a paper bag, which looked like a paper bag for self-heating food.

Lin Yi was a little surprised, "Didn't it mean that the self-heating food will not be cooked in a windy day of minus [-] degrees? I don't think everyone has brought it, so I won't bring it either."

Master Wu smiled mysteriously, and then carefully opened the opening, which contained dozens of slices of cooked yak meat, "Platoon leader, you can take this to eat on the road."

Lin Yi looked at Master Wu in surprise, "If you have this thing, why didn't you take it out earlier, it should be shared with everyone at breakfast, so that everyone won't dry-plan the rice."

Master Wu shook his head, "There is no need to divide it. People who stay at the outpost to prepare for duty don't consume as much calories as you. We don't need to eat meat. You have to eat when you go out to patrol."

Squad leader 8 said: "Platoon leader Lin, keep the meat with you. This is the rule of the outpost. Patrolling is far more difficult than preparing at the outpost. We can eat this meat with peace of mind."

Hearing the words of squad leader 8, Lin Yi stopped being pretentious, kicked the meat in his arms, and hugged him tightly, so that he could have a good meal at noon.

One person can get at least ten slices, which is estimated to be half a catty, which is by no means a small amount.

Armed with guns, binoculars and other equipment, Lin Yi picked up the national flag and walked out of the post. Only the patrol captain can take the national flag. As the top leader of the patrol team, Lin Yi should take it.

Squad leader No. 8 stepped back, carried a lap of climbing rope on his back, picked up a pickaxe, and walked behind Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked at the pickaxe, and was really a little confused, "Do you still need a pickaxe for patrolling?"

Squad leader 8 smiled, "You'll know later."

After embarking on the patrol road, Squad Leader 8 and Lin Yi switched positions and walked at the front of the team. The strong wind last night blew the entire snow-capped mountain into motion. Can't see it anymore.

If the leader of the 8th squad is a veteran, he can find the patrol road just by relying on the exposed rocks. He said while walking, "This place belongs to a slightly dangerous area. Look at this stone. I fell down once last time in an inclined valley more than 20 meters deep, but it was nothing serious, and I could climb out with both hands and feet."

Lin Yi hurriedly took out a pencil and wrote down the first marking point. The 8th squad leader smiled, "It doesn't matter if it's a point like this, as long as there's no strong wind, you won't be able to fall, and everyone will look at you. As long as you stray a little bit, you will be reminded in time."

By the way, the 8th squad leader quickly looked at the soldier carrying the individual radio, "Report to the regiment, saying that the 8th squad patrol unit started the patrol mission according to the predetermined point."
