Chapter 93 Unexpected Harvest (02)

They spent most of the day searching for the plane and sorting out the items they needed. They didn't pay much attention to those antiques. Si Xuanyi talked a lot, not eating or drinking, feeling heavy. Now they are on the run , any non-essential items may slow down their progress, or even kill them, so these so-called antiques are really worthless to them in this situation. Now that the food and ammunition problems have been solved, they still have a lot of supplies in supplies. Some medicines were found, including some medicines used in the jungle, heatstroke prevention medicines, antimalarial medicines, etc. Liang Rong used these medicines to help several injured people re-treat their wounds.

After everything was ready, it was already afternoon, and there was no way to leave today. Ma Zhong prepared a hodgepodge dinner made of K rations, which can be said to be quite rich. A box of K rations is enough for 12 people, enough for a class of people for a day Consumption, including 12 breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, including butter, biscuits, cheese, sugar, jam, instant coffee, chocolate, chewing gum, canned ham, canned luncheon meat, corkscrews, spoons, napkins, matches, cigarettes.By the end of the war, milk flakes and canned beef were added to the K ration. K rations use colored packaging boxes, which are easy to distinguish. Among them, breakfast is in a brown box, lunch is in a green box, and dinner is in a blue box.

They sifted all the remaining food, and there was still some leftovers. Ma Zhong used some of them for dinner. The light ones are leaving, including all the matches and cigarettes. As for the napkins, bottle openers, utensils and spoons, they only brought one copy. With these things, their confidence has greatly increased.

This was the most sumptuous meal they had eaten since they entered the woods. Although the K ration was completely gourmet military food, it was quite good for people like Si Xuanyi and the others who hadn't eaten anything decent for a long time.

"At first we thought that we had seriously deviated from the scheduled route, but now it seems to be okay, at least we are still on the previously scheduled route, otherwise we would not be able to find this plane." After eating, Si Xuanyi leaned on the side and smoked. , There are enough cigarettes in the K ration for them to consume.

"Yeah..." Li Siming said with a full belch, "We are lucky to find the plane after going through so much trouble. These supplies are enough to support our normal consumption of seven or eight. We can even carry enough food for ten days."

"It doesn't matter." Li Siming said, "The biggest problem in the woods is not food, but the dangerous environment. So far, we have not suffered serious injuries or illnesses except for the high physical exertion. This is luck among misfortunes. Now the medicine has been supplemented, so this problem has been solved to a certain extent. In fact, our biggest enemy is the jungle itself, the poisonous snakes and beasts hidden in it, and some unknown things. Agui is a good hunter. He can help us solve some food and water problems, and herbal medicine can help us resist diseases, as long as there is no malaria, there is no big problem."

"Our journey is considered to be a circle around the core area of ​​Savage Mountain. Our original plan to go directly through the hinterland has been unable to be implemented. Since entering that cave, we have deviated from the center of Savage Mountain. After correcting the direction, as long as we can Persevere for three to five days and you can slowly get away from this dangerous area." Agui said, "Although we are located southwest of the center, we have experienced most of the most dangerous things in the forest."

"According to the northern mountain peaks as a reference, our current location should only be about six days away from the nearest Chinese village gathering place!" Liang Rong looked at Agui and said, today she climbed to the top of the tree to observe the terrain, referring to The map gives an approximate time.

"No, what is marked on the map is only the gathering places of border residents and the area detected by the map. If calculated according to the national border, we have already been in China. On the map, the entire Savage Mountain is Chinese territory. In fact, what we are talking about is only There are residents in the area, so to be precise, we are returning to the control area of ​​the Chinese army, and the current area can only be counted as a desolate virgin jungle." Si Xuanyi explained.

"There is a big gap between the map distance and the actual distance. This jungle is not so easy to walk. The actual distance is much longer than expected. At present, we conservatively estimate that the distance is ten days. If there is trouble on the road or we have to change If you take a detour in the direction..." Li Siming thought for a while, "It's possible to travel half a month, we must be mentally prepared for this."

Everyone who said these words was heartbroken. The situation is far less optimistic than they estimated. However, the conditions are much better now than before. All kinds of supplies, weapons and ammunition have been supplemented accordingly, and the possibility of them driving alive has greatly increased. .

Rhodes is still full of worries about this trip. Apart from dealing with the dangers of the jungle, they have been racing against devils along the way. Who can guarantee that they will not encounter devils on the road later?The purpose of these devils entering the jungle is still unclear, but it is not ruled out that the devils are scattered throughout the jungle. Who can guarantee that they will not encounter them on the way to the hinterland of China?
Si Xuanyi and the others were also very worried about this, so what if they had enough ammunition?How much advantage can these few people gain by confronting the devils head-on?In fact, ammunition is largely prepared for the poisonous snakes and beasts in the forest and unknown threats, and devils are another unstable factor besides these dangers, so this issue must arouse their attention.

"For devils, we hide if we can, and run if we can't. In short, we don't confront them head-on. Preserving our strength is our primary goal." Li Siming said.

Now they have begun to accept their status as deserters. Survival is the first criterion, and other things are not considered at all. Their consideration of honor and national interests is indeed not as deep as Rhodes, a foreigner. Reality has forced them to give up all honor, all just to live.

The road ahead is still difficult and dangerous, and everything is still unknown. After discussing these issues, they finally calmed down after finding the supplies, and began to think about what will happen later. Everything is full of variables. It will be even more sinister. After all, this is a jungle, a place where humans have never set foot...
