Chapter 52 Wilderness Survival Training (Part 1) Flying Warehouse Web

  The closed devil training is about to end. On a winter night, a thin fog rose in the sky. The trainees who were still asleep were awakened by the emergency assembly whistle. After more than a month of training, the trainees had become accustomed to nighttime emergency assemblies and quickly appeared on the parade ground in front of the barracks, each one dressed neatly.

  Longmei swept a circle of spirited students, nodded to Carmades. Carmades shouted with a hint: "All students turn right, get on the bus!"

  Upon hearing the command, the trainees boarded the parked trucks in an orderly manner. After about a minute or so, the trucks carrying the trainees disappeared into the thin fog.

  "Lin, do you know where we're going?" Tony asked, peeking through the gap in the car cover and turning his head to ask.

  Lin Ao Feng, who was sitting in the car with his eyes closed, opened them and replied: "If I'm not mistaken, our next destination will be the final stop of our military training this time."

  "Survival in the wilderness?!" The people in the carriage exclaimed in unison.

  "Yes!" Lin Ao Feng said with a bitter smile: "There are only ten days left until the end of our training. The training base is about a day's journey from the military academy." ...Before Lin Ao Feng could finish speaking, the trucks drove into the train station, and three trucks were driven directly onto the flatbed train waiting on the tracks. After the trucks were secured, the soldiers waiting at the platform edge ran up to the flatbed train with tools in hand and sealed off the compartments. Half an hour later, the train slowly pulled out of the station.

  After a day and a half of travel, Rommel arrived with his students at the Black Forest on the German-Swiss border.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" A burst of knocking on the truck's tailgate was heard, followed by a shout: "Get off! Get off! Everyone get off!"

  The trainees jumped off the truck one by one and formed a line in front of it. Rommel put away his stopwatch, walked up to them and said: "I'm very satisfied with your performance just now. After more than a month of training, each of you has some semblance of a soldier. But!" Rommel paused for a moment, scanning the trainees' expressions from left to right, then continued: "But this is far from enough! The forest behind you is called the Black Forest, also known as the Teutonic Forest. This is one of Germany's best resorts. However, I didn't bring you here to relax." Seeing the puzzled looks on the trainees' faces, a sly smile flashed across Rommel's face as he said: "Don't worry! I won't let you starve to death! In a moment, each of you will receive a small package containing three compressed biscuits, a pistol, a dagger, and a small bag of salt. Let me remind you that there are only three bullets in the gun. Hopefully, when you come out, you can bring back the bullets intact." With that, Rommel waved his hand, and Kammerads handed each trainee a package with the help of soldiers. An hour later, the trainees were led into the forest by soldiers from different directions.

  "Yamano, Takakura, when we first arrived there were eight of us, now only three are left. Just now I saw Lin Ao Feng enter the forest alone from a place not far from here. I want to use this terrain to eliminate the future enemy of our empire and avenge Kojita and the others!" said Kobayakawa Gunbei, who was knocked unconscious by Lin Ao Feng due to "good luck" at the beginning of the last hand-to-hand combat assessment, to Takakura Kenichi and Yamano Kazuo, who also narrowly escaped death in the same hand-to-hand combat assessment.

  Takao Kenichi unconsciously rubbed his still sore arm, narrowing his eyes at Yamano Kazuo. Yamano Kazuo pondered for a moment before saying, "Lin Ao Feng is not an ordinary Chinaman. If we want to kill him without anyone noticing, we need to plan carefully. After all, there are only three of us, while at least seven people have close ties with that Chinaman. If we alert them, we'll be in trouble."

  Takao Kenichi pulled out a map and compass from his pocket, quickly locating their position. "Our mission is the same for all of us," he said. "We have seven days to cross the Kinzishi Canyon, and the high-priced toll bridge is a place we must all pass through. Fifteen kilometers away from the toll bridge, there's a narrow strip where we can ambush the Chinese."

  Yamao Kazuo rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, saying: "If we want to ambush that person, we have to get ahead of him. Time is precious for us, let's hurry!"

  It is said that enemies are bound to meet, and on the second evening, Lin Aofeng had just caught a pheasant, cleaned it up, and lit a fire. Not long after, a hurried footsteps caught Lin Aofeng's attention. Lin Aofeng quickly extinguished the fire and hid. Before long, three men appeared in the wilderness where Lin Aofeng was resting.

  "Kao Cang Jun, I just saw a fire here, how did it disappear in an instant?!" Yamano Kazuo furrowed his brow and observed the ground. Soon, a place that was clearly burned by fire caught Yamano's eye. He walked over, picked up a piece of charcoal, put it to his nose and sniffed, saying: "The branches are still hot, I estimate the person hasn't been gone for long."

  Takaoka Kenichi and Kobamura Gobei exchanged a glance, and Kobamura asked, "Who would be here?! We've been constantly correcting our route along the way, we shouldn't have met others so soon."

  Takao Kenichi was taken aback and asked, "Koson, are you sure the route you corrected is correct?!"

  Kobayashi Gobei replied with a resolute tone: "I guarantee that the route I've corrected is absolutely foolproof, there won't be any mistakes!"

  "Alright! Both of you stop arguing!" Yamano Kazuo stood up and said, "No matter who was just here, we must catch up with him. If it's that Chinese guy, we'll take care of him first; if not, we'll ambush him according to the original plan."

  After Toukou Kyouichi and the others left, Rin Akatsuki emerged from the shadows, thinking to himself: "You little brats, you think you can take on me? You're still too green! Since you want to die so badly, I'll do you a favor and help you out!"

  Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Ao Feng, who had eaten his fill and rested well, carefully followed the trail left by Gao Cang Jian and the others.

  "Yamano, don't you think something's off?!" Suddenly asked Kobayashi Gobei who was walking behind Yamano Kazuo. Yamano Kazuo stopped in his tracks, turned around to face Kobayashi Gobei and shouted: "Not good!"

  "Kouya-kun, what's wrong?!" Takao asked.

  "We've been had! The person just now didn't leave at all, he must be hiding in a place we didn't notice. I'm not worried about anything else, the only thing I'm worried about is that person who was just there, Lin Ao Feng, the one we were supposed to ambush, and now we're on the defensive."

  "If it's really Lin Ao Feng, we won't be at a disadvantage. We can even turn the tables on him. From what I know of his character, he's someone who will definitely seek revenge and won't let a grudge go overnight. If the person who was just there is really him, he'll definitely chase after us until he kills all three of us."

  "You mean we hide out nearby and wait for Lin Ao Feng to take the bait?!" Shan Ye Yifu interrupted.

  "Alright!" Kōsuke Takahashi narrowed his eyes and said, "The three of us have nine bullets in total. We'll each leave one for Lin Ao Feng. If we kill him, the three bullets on him can replenish our consumption. This way, it also won't expose us when we gather."

  On the battlefield, nothing is more terrifying than not understanding your opponent. At this time, Takao Kawamura was still immersed in his own plan, which he thought was foolproof, and had no idea that what he thought was foolproof would become the stepping stone for them to go to hell.

  All the way chasing, around midnight twelve o'clock, Lin Ao Feng stopped his footsteps not far from Gao Cang Jian and others. Squatting on the ground to observe the marks on the ground, Lin Ao Feng hesitated: "Even if the little devils have strong willpower, they must feel tired after running for so long. And maybe they've already discovered me behind them. If that's true, I would definitely wait for me somewhere ahead if I were them. If I chase up recklessly, I'll definitely be ambushed by them." After thinking for a while, Lin Ao Feng's mouth suddenly curled up, and a sly smile flashed across his face: "Since you want to ambush Laozi, then you have to pay the price. Let me take a nap first, and then play with you guys."

  In the early morning, the bright sunlight pierced through the dense leaves and shone into the forest like a sharp sword. A beam of light happened to shine on Lin Ao's face. Lin Ao rubbed his eyes, looked at the time on his watch, then put on the clothes that were covering him, jumped down from the tree, and followed his instincts to a small stream, where he washed up and ate a compressed biscuit in two bites.

  "Yamano, we've waited all night and no one has come. Could it be that your judgment was wrong?" asked Kobayashi Gobei in a low voice.

  Yamano Kazuo picked up a blade of grass, put it in his mouth and chewed on it for a while, saying: "Impossible! If he was ahead of us, it's impossible that he didn't leave any traces. Last night when I was setting traps, I carefully observed the ground, there were no footprints at all. Unless..."

  "What is it?!" asked Kosuke Gombei, a small village, unable to contain his curiosity.

  "Unless we've gone in the wrong direction," said Yamano Kazuo with a deep breath.

  "It shouldn't be wrong!" Koura Kenichi said with a frown, "I have a premonition. The Chinese is not far from us in the vicinity. We want to ambush him, but he may also want to leave the three of us here."

  "What shall we do next?!" asked Kobayashi no Gonbei.

  Takaeda Kenichi and Yamano Kazuo exchanged a glance, and Yamano said: "In that case, staying here is meaningless. I think we should continue on our way! As long as we reach that narrow strip of land in a short time, even if the Chinese are formidable, they won't be able to catch up with us."
