454 The First Drop of Blood
The sweltering air in the forest stopped flowing, and both the enemy and us were sweating profusely.Unmanned small planes flew over the sky, filming everything in the forest.

Somewhere, an inconspicuous bush, with lush branches and leaves.

There are a few pairs of round eyes under the layers of leaves, watching the path in the forest quietly.Pea-sized beads of sweat slid down the tip of their noses, itching, and they wrinkled their noses to relieve the itching.

They've been hiding for half an hour, shifting every 15 minutes.In the bushes, five people covered in branches and leaves were discussing in low voices, discussing the topographic map drawn by Clairvoyance.

The empty wasteland was below the woods they were in, and the terrain was low. Ye Ming guessed that there was a cliff on the edge of the woods. "If we go straight in, we will hit the hinterland where the enemy is ambush. Beware of more snipers."

Clairvoyant, whose face was hidden behind Ye, rubbed his chin and thought, "Even experienced soldiers are easily sniped, and the chances of us surviving are very small. Unless we focus on eliminating snipers, we will definitely fall behind."

"That's right." Ye Ming's face was itchy from Ye Ming's prick, she scratched it. "Stupid birds fly first, let's try to get to the wilderness first to familiarize ourselves with the terrain." Slim pointed to the periphery of the topographic map, "Bypassing the hinterland, let's walk along the periphery of the woods. Every 15 minutes, you go up the tree for reconnaissance."

"It takes twice as long to walk along the perimeter, isn't it also backward?" Gopher interjected softly.

"Even if we go straight to the hinterland, the soldiers may not be much faster than us. The outer area is relatively safer. The end point is the woods in the northwest of the wilderness. When we reach the wilderness, the remaining road is the closest."

They seem to understand.

With a clear direction, they move quickly.Carrying a twenty-pound rucksack and covered with branches and leaves all over their bodies, they trembled as they ran, looking like a few leaf balls from a distance.

In order to make sure that he was heading in the right direction, Qian Liyan climbed the tree with a rucksack and all the branches and leaves, and he climbed to the top of the tree panting.

"The direction is correct. We are getting farther and farther away from the center of the forest. I will check to see if there are any snipers nearby."

He raised the sniper rifle to calibrate the sight, and his field of vision was full of greenery.Looking around for a moment, a slight flash of light dazzled his eyes, and he kept holding his gun and asked Ye Ming: "I found an enemy sniper, do you want to snipe?"

"Have you confirmed the location?"

"Confirm, he hasn't found us in the 250 meters of grass in the direction of ten o'clock."

"Sniping."

As soon as the ruthless order came out, Clairvoyance pulled the trigger.A second gunshot sounded in the forest, and the faint blue smoke went straight up to the sky.

Our side gets the enemy's first blood.

The sound of gunfire and smoke disturbed all directions, Ye Ming and the others crawled in the grass and did not move, while Qian Liyan put away his sniper rifle and hugged the tree and did not move.There were rustling sounds on all sides, and he quietly glanced around.

Just where the smoke rose, three people with their heads stuck in branches passed by the "killed" sniper.That short shoulder-length yellow hair can be recognized by clairvoyance even when it turns gray.

With his forehead pressed against the tree trunk, he quietly reported: "The three female soldiers also took the same route, and they have already bypassed the 'corpse' of the sniper."

"They weren't attacked?"

"No."

"Okay, let's move forward too, come down quickly."

Clairvoyant smiled knowingly, it is great to have someone who can help him find his way.The five quickly assembled and moved forward, but Ye Ming changed his plan and secretly followed the trio.

When they passed the "killed" sniper, Ye Ming and Qian Liyan suddenly felt that this person looked familiar—isn't it the dark-skinned colobus Yang Kun?He also smiled and waved at the two of them.

It seems that this time the enemy is an acquaintance.

The five ran and hid until noon.The scorching sun was in the sky, their mouths were dry and hungry after sweating all morning, so they hid in the grass at half a person's height to rest for a while.

Regardless of the mosquito nuisance, they frantically poured water.

"Don't worry about drinking, there may not be fresh water nearby." There was only one water bottle for each person, and Ye Ming only took a sip.

He nodded while pouring, and when his clairvoyance was about to close the lid, he suddenly stared at Ye Ming's back. "Ming, Ming, don't move...don't move..."

The other three also stared behind her, not daring to move at all.

Knowing the hissing sound behind her, she sat up straight without moving.The soft thing rubbed against the rucksack and crawled, and her peripheral vision broke into a touch of gold.

She remained calm and kept observing the movements of the golden boa constrictor.

On the other hand, the eyes of the teammates on the opposite side were straightened, and the green leaves surrounding their heads made their faces green.The two fists of the snake's body were thick and long, for fear of turning around and biting Ye Ming suddenly.

Qian Liyan raised the gun slowly, but Ye Ming shook his head slightly at him.

He had to lower the gun slowly, his hands shaking.After a long time, the golden boa constrictor finally crawled out of the bushes, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Ye Ming closed the kettle and warned Clairvoyance: "The rules state that animals here cannot be harmed. You almost made a foul and will reveal our position."

"I'm afraid it will bite people." He touched his nose ashamedly.

"I understand your kindness. Let's hurry up to replenish our strength. We don't have a lot of food, so we should eat sparingly." She chewed slowly on the finger-sized chocolate bar, and endured the discomfort of her stomach constricting, only eating half of it.

The chameleon was speechless, "It's not enough to eat such a small amount! Usually I have to eat three bowls of rice, and this food is enough for one meal." He slapped his thigh in frustration, staring at his chocolate bar and compressed biscuits and dared not take a bite , but extremely hungry, tangled endlessly.

Clairvoyant patted him on the shoulder, "The further you go, the more energy you will consume, so save it in the early stage."

After hearing this, the gopher and black tiger gritted their teeth and only ate half a chocolate bar.Seeing that everyone could go hungry, the chameleon couldn't be cowardly, so he resolutely bit off half of it.

"Eat slowly, don't be too hasty, and create the illusion that we have eaten a lot to deceive the stomach."

Hearing her calm tone, the gopher asked hesitantly: "You seem to be very skilled, do you often do starvation training?"

Ye Ming smiled but said nothing.In an age of scarce resources, there is no need for starvation training at all.

Although reason told them to save their food, the remaining half of a chocolate bar whispered in the ears of the four of them like a devil, tempting them to continue eating, and the half pack of compressed biscuits must last for 48 hours.

That's right, why go hungry with half a pack of compressed biscuits?It doesn't matter if you eat a little more, just a little... The four of them stared at half a chocolate bar in a daze.

"We're leaving." A voice like a silver bell woke the four of them up.Ye Ming put away half of the chocolate bar, and carefully looked out of the grass.

The four of them slapped themselves hard on the face, and also put away the leftover chocolate bars.

Although hungry, it is more important to persist for 48 hours.

"I'm going to get to the finish line, and I can't let that red-haired guy look down on me!" Chameleon squeezed his thigh and shouted.

After Ye Ming confirmed that it was safe outside, the five of them tiptoed through the weeds and went out.

Time ticked by.At two o'clock in the afternoon, just when he wanted to take a nap, an order was issued unexpectedly.
