Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 304 Walking Water

When Li Zheng and Fatty Wei came back, they were empty-handed.

It was a terrible place, full of pines and cedars, and weeds.

There are many things in the jungle that bring moisture.

There are hundreds of species of plants alone.

For example, this jungle is at the dividing line between the subtropical monsoon climate and the tropical monsoon climate, and it basically belongs to the subtropical monsoon climate itself.

It stands to reason that the jungle here is extremely rich in species. The common ones are berries, sea buckthorn, olives, myrtle and the like, all of which are eaten raw and can quench thirst.

However, Li Zheng and Fatty Wei went around and found nothing except miscellaneous trees and pine and fir trees.

Back at the rest point, Jiang Cheng was still poking his head behind the big tree in front of the human observation mirror. The "Catfish" team is now in a mountain depression opposite, and there is no movement, and they don't know what medicine is buried in the gourd.

"Squad leader..."

Li Zheng spread his hands helplessly.

"We couldn't find a source of water."

"Where are the wild fruits?" Hou Jun asked.

Li Zheng also shook his head: "No... This land is really evil, there is nothing that can quench thirst, and you can't even see the wild pears that were common before..."

Hou Jun sighed, and he looked around.

Here is a condescending slope, facing the sun.

The chances of digging the ground to find water in such a place are also very slim.

What's more, you can't dig here.

Digging here in case the small team on the opposite side finds out the movement here, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Others are not that stupid. Once camped out, an observation post must be set up.

"Squad leader..."

Jiang Cheng suddenly called Hou Jun softly.

"I know why they stopped."

Seeing that Jiang Cheng had discovered something, Hou Jun ran over quickly.

After arriving at the big tree, I looked there with a telescope and saw nothing unusual, so I asked Jiang Cheng, "How do you know why they stopped?"

Jiang Cheng pointed in one direction: "Look there."

Hou Jun raised his binoculars and looked in the direction Jiang Cheng was pointing at.

In the middle of the field of vision is a small green forest, the density is not high, and there are more grasses than trees.

Looking carefully, I didn't see anything special. I was about to ask, when I suddenly saw a figure standing up from behind the grass, holding several water bottles in his hand, and walked into the mountain depression. He was behind the woods when he was young.

"have water?"

Hou Jun's first reaction was water.

He magnified the observation mirror, and he saw that the piece of "grass" was not strictly speaking grass, but vaguely looked like a plant called "calamus".

"No wonder..."

He got it.

There is really water there.

It seems that they stopped because they needed to refill the water?
Calamus likes water and is a perennial herb with thick rhizomes. It usually grows near water, and is very common in swamps, streams or paddy fields.

"Squad leader, why don't we sneak down and get some water, there must be a swamp or a pool or something."

Zhang Jian licked his chapped lips and looked enviously at the col in the distance.

In fact, why did Hou Jun not want to?

But reason told him that now he can only find water within his own range, and he can't go too far.

Firstly, I was afraid that the other party would suddenly leave the camp and leave and lose track, and secondly, I was afraid that if I went down there to find water, I would be discovered.

"No, let's look for it in this annex. We can't go down. We need to replenish water, and we have to wait for them to leave. When we follow the past, hurry up and get some. At this time, they are there. We can't go down. If we go down, we will definitely be found. .”

He still made up his mind not to take the risk.

The tasks of special forces include special reconnaissance, and reconnaissance is often to monitor the movement of targets.

This kind of action is far less romantic than imagined.

Sometimes in order to monitor a key pass or military target, it is necessary to set up an observation post in a nearby hidden place. People stay in it for a week or two, and even some special tasks monitor for as long as a month.

During this kind of reconnaissance and surveillance, people cannot walk away. If they walk away for fear of emergencies, two or more people usually change shifts. Even if they change, they cannot go far.

The larger the range of activities, the higher the chance of being discovered, and every scout understands this truth.

I can't go down, and there's no water around.

Class One is now in a dilemma.

Suddenly, Fatty Wei, who was already in despair while sitting on the ground, jumped up.

"Fuck!"

As he spoke, he slapped his buttocks and legs.

"Hush!" Hou Jun warned him.

Li Zheng asked Fatty Wei: "Why?"

Fatty Wei scratched his hands and legs, cursed and said, "Damn ant, God bullied me, and you bullied me too!"

With that said, he raised his foot and stomped on the ground.

"Wait!" Hou Jun suddenly discovered the new continent: "What did you just say?"

"Me?" Fatty Wei pointed to himself.

Hou Jun said, "Of course I'm talking about you."

Fatty Wei said, "I said God bullied me."

Hou Jun shook his head: "Another one."

Fatty Wei said, "Ants also bully me."

Hou Jun nodded, walked to Fatty Wei and squatted down, staring at the ground.

When it arrived, his face stretched out, showing a smile: "It's saved!"

Everyone surrounded the past.

Hou Jun pointed to the ground.

When Li Zheng saw it, he immediately got goosebumps.

On the ground, many big black ants were crawling around. They were unscrupulous and not afraid of people at all. They were carrying the food chopped up from different places and rushing to the hole.

At a glance, countless ants are busy like a large state-owned enterprise infrastructure construction site.

"Bring a sapper shovel!"

Hou Jun gave an order, and soon, an engineer shovel was handed over.

"Step aside!"

He picked up the engineering shovel, and used the skillful technique of digging individual bunkers to pull out the black ant's nest by the roots.

When the ant nest was dug up, everyone subconsciously took a step back.

I saw that the huge ant nest was covered with tens of thousands of ants, and there were many white eggs that looked like grains of rice.

Hou Jun squatted down, stretched out his hand to grab a few ants, put them near his mouth and bit them, and started chewing.

Then he raised his head and said to Li Zheng and the others: "It's sour, it's pretty good! It's rich in water, and eating more can replenish water!"

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. In the end, Li Zheng took the lead, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll eat!"

As he said that, he squatted down and caught a few big black ants like Hou Houjun. He didn't care about 21, let alone anything else, so he threw them into his mouth and started biting.

"I said this thing is not eaten like this."

Hou Jun grabbed one, pinched its head, and then held up the ant's buttocks and said to Li Zheng, "Eat its buttocks, don't eat its head, there is poison in it!"

Li Zheng quickly vomited on the ground.

Hou Jun scolded again: "Waste food! A few can't kill you!"

Li Zheng's face suddenly turned red.

Hou Jun greeted the others: "Why are you still standing there? Hydrate, there is water on the ants, and it is very thirst-quenching! Don't underestimate this thing. The black ants here contain more than 70 kinds of nutrients in their bodies. Containing 42-67% protein, 28 kinds of free amino acids, have you heard of black ants making wine? There are also Dai compatriots, people like to eat black ants, this thing is sold outside, hundreds of catties, you guys Catch up with the good stuff!"

A black ant in a mountain has become a tonic that is more nourishing than ginseng after being bluffed by Hou Jun.

But it was very effective, and everyone felt better psychologically.

Taking supplements is never a bad thing.

So, everyone squatted down, busy catching ants and eating them.

Li Zheng had to admit that ants are not bad to eat, as long as they have passed the psychological barrier, this stuff is fine, after eating for a while, the mouth will be full of body fluids, and it really quenches one's thirst.
