Chapter 71 In Hell (7)

  After Xiao Lie went up, Yang Xian and others also went up at once. Not walking is death, walking may also be death, but it's better than falling into the hands of wolves in the forest. After a period of special training, an idea that there is no greatest hardship, only greater hardship was formed in the hearts of all newcomers.

  Rumble!

  Several shells fell into the river, exploding and sending water high into the air. When the water came back down, it pounded against the people, making the already swaying rope even more unstable. The road ahead was invisible, with only one option: to move forward, not backward, as behind them were crowds of people. If anyone wanted to give up, they would have to fall into the river, and if they fell in, they risked being swept away by the strong currents, which would be a terrible fate.

  "The enemy is coming! Quick! Quick! Quick!" The Jungle Wolf cried out.

  In a short while, there were already twenty people on the bridge. Walking in the front, Xiao Lie had to quicken his pace, his hands still tightly grasping the rope. If this bridge broke, it would be a sight to behold.

  Shells were exploding in the river from time to time. No one was afraid and no one retreated because there was nowhere to retreat.

  Dada...

  At this time, machine guns sounded from the opposite side. The bullets of the machine gun were equipped with tracer bullets. Visible bullet marks flew over from a place not far from Xīndīng's side, and even the airflow generated by the flying bullets could be felt.

  This is hell!

  The newcomers suddenly realized that camping was not a human job, if going camping once was so difficult and would also risk their lives at any time, I'm afraid no one would go camping again. From the mouth of the wolf in the forest, it is said that this bridge is only 100 meters away, but based on past experience, his words can be trusted.

  Those who have not experienced it will never feel the short hundred meters, but let the newcomers walk on the blade, not only physically, but also mentally. The machine guns that were firing enthusiastically in the dark flames seemed like the eyes of a devil, and everyone thought that if they had an RPG in their hands, they would definitely give it a shot without hesitation.

  Fortunately, those bullets wouldn't hit them at all, but the feeling of the bullets flying by was really heart-pounding. Xiao Ran was the first to cross that floating bridge, and when he landed, his legs went soft and almost knelt on the ground.

  "This is too freaking crazy." He thought to himself. But he still got up and ran towards the back, dodging the machine gun fire.

  "Find something to start a fire yourself." Grey Wolf said.

  It wasn't just Xiao Lie, but others who were also stunned by this conversation. If they could find some dry branches or grass here, it would be easy to say, but the matter of starting a fire was somewhat stunning. However, no one hesitated, with some going to find firewood and others beginning to study the origin of fire. As for this problem, finding dry firewood became a much simpler task.

  Drilling wood to make fire? It seems like something I saw in elementary school history class, referring to a time long, long ago before primitive society existed. I didn't expect to encounter it today. Drilling wood to make fire is probably done by drilling a hole in the middle of a dry log and then finding a dry stick to drill into it repeatedly. As for the success rate, some newbies drilled for over ten minutes but lost confidence and stopped, not to mention getting any sparks, there wasn't even a hint of fire in that little hole.

  So, can you start a fire with stones? It seems that it's said to find a piece of flint, two stones collide and there are sparks, then the sparks splash onto dry grass and ignite immediately. This is a common scene in movies and TV shows, when a hero's lighter doesn't work, they just find two stones and strike them together to start a fire. For those who grew up watching movies and TV, this method seems plausible at first. But after trying it several times, some people have an urge to fix the director who shot such scenes. Forget about starting a fire, if you can just pick up a few stones from the ground and start a fire, then there's no need to buy matches anymore.

  For a moment, the newcomers found themselves unable to handle even the most basic things in the wilderness.

  Xiao Lie searched through a bundle of hay that Yang Xian had found and then found a handful of very dry and soft hay.

  "What do you want to do?" Lei Hao Lin said.

  "Start a fire."

  Xiao Ran finished speaking and picked up two stones, then put the grass in between. At this time, whether it was those who had already lost hope or those who were still thinking of a method, Xiao Lie seemed to have wound himself up like a spring, putting the grass on one stone and raising another stone to start pounding away. Although someone had used this method before, he seemed to be going much faster, and getting faster and faster by the second. Gradually, a faint smell of gunpowder wafted through the air, and the sparks grew bigger and bigger. Some sharp-eyed people immediately put dry grass in front of Xiao Lie, and gradually, the sparks that landed on the dry grass grew more and more numerous, then the dry grass slowly began to catch fire, with the flames growing larger and larger.

  When seeing this fire, everyone's heart rose with a feeling: it's too hard-won.

  After the fire, Xiao Lie stopped his actions and a wave of dizziness surged through his body. His body swayed and he was about to fall when Lei Huan caught him from behind. Yang Xian saw this and immediately opened the water bottle.

  After drinking a mouthful of water, he slowly came back to himself.

  "How did you think of that?" Tan Hongzhong asked, although he was also a grassroots military officer and had experience surviving in the wild, but it was the first time he saw such a fire.

  "When two stones interact, they will produce sparks and high temperatures. It's not that it can't be done this way, but the speed is too slow. That little spark can't ignite a fire at all. I just accelerated the speed and force."

  Although it looked like a simple way of making fire, everyone present saw Xiao Lie's quick movements earlier. It was as if he had become a machine, not human. In less than two minutes, no one could say how many times he moved, but they all knew his movements were so fast that the naked eye couldn't see them clearly. Every time, he used all his strength, until finally, when he loosened his grip on the stone in his hand, it shattered. His hands also ached extremely. Originally, marching ten kilometers plus the tension of crossing the bridge had caused huge physical exhaustion, making him feel dizzy after completing everything.

  Fortunately, there is a fire. With the fire, it's easy to handle, but in the darkness, the new recruits dare not make the fire too big, and they find a slightly hidden place. If there isn't a slightly hidden place, then they can only use their entrenching tool to dig a relatively deep individual foxhole. You have to know that if you let the enemy see the firelight in the darkness, it's no different from seeking death. And T5 advocates that even if the enemy dies, but you yourself cannot die.

  Everyone's eyes grew hungry as they saw the beef placed on the fire, and the result of enduring hunger every day was that they felt particularly affectionate towards meat. After Lei Huan used a dagger to cut a few knives on the meat, sprinkled salt on it, and the beef on the fire made a sizzling sound, a strong meat flavor suddenly spread in the air. Xiao Lie smelled the fragrance of the meat and couldn't help but feel that his mouth was filled with saliva all at once.

  He was afraid that if he looked on any longer, he would have to take action and rush over. He walked towards the tent, and as soon as he emerged from it, a gust of cold air hit him in the face. He stretched his limbs and thought that after waiting for a while, he could go back and eat meat. At this time, he saw a bright light on the horizon, which started like the glow of fireflies and slowly grew larger, coming towards him.

  That seems to be...

  Xiao Lie suddenly remembered, wasn't that an illuminating bomb? As he thought of this, the increasingly close illuminating bomb had already reached his head, and then burst open with a loud noise. The surroundings suddenly seemed to be in daylight, and everything on the ground could be seen clearly. The burning bomb body slowly fell downwards. Xiao Lie seemed to see people around him moving about, but he was sure that they were not his own people. Now his own people were all roasting meat in their own places.

  "Enemy attack!" Xiao Lie shouted. Then he ran into the tent and grabbed a piece of meat that was being roasted, rushing outside with it.

  When Xiao Lie shouted loudly, it seemed like a coordination, and the sound of machine guns echoed around.

  Dada...

  At that moment, the majority of them didn't think of escaping or organizing a resistance at first. Of course, they couldn't resist anyway, because their guns were out of bullets. So they could only break through, after all, it was better not to be captured, otherwise, it would be too humiliating if the news got out.

  Although it's a rubber bullet, being hit by it still hurts.

  "What should we do?" Yang Xian asked.

  "Let's eat meat." Xiao Lie suddenly said.

  "You still have the nerve to eat meat, hurry up and leave." Lei Hao Lin also urged, he suspected that this kid's brain was broken.

  "Do you think we can get out?"

  Xiao Lie said is a fact, because now the other side has six machine guns came a big siege, and not to mention in the dark of snipers, T5's marksmanship has always been good, every shot can hit people, because the other side has searchlights exploding in the sky from time to time, so the other side is in the dark, newbies can't see the opponent's appearance at all.

  Since we can't escape, and it looks like we'll be severely punished by the wolves of the forest in a little while, and it's still physically demanding, why not have a good meal first. Xiao Lie took out the still steaming beef, this thing doesn't even count as five parts cooked, probably not even two parts cooked, but I'm hungry, so just make do with it, only that raw beef isn't easy to chew, Xiao Lie swallowed the roasted part into his mouth first, then ate the raw one, he saw Xin Ding trying to rush out of the encirclement, but unfortunately they all got shot, no one could rush out.

  Before long, all the newbies were "killed", and Xiao Lie had just eaten half a meal.

  Then the newbies were gathered together by Jungle Wolf, and seeing a smile on Jungle Wolf's mouth, the familiar newbies knew that this guy must have had some bad ideas again. The newbies who were used to his bad ideas were already prepared to be manipulated by him.
