Chapter 70: Counterplotting (3)

  Tian San snatched the map from Guo Ning and spread it out on the ground, carefully searching for the 021 highland. However, after half a day of searching, he couldn't find it, but saw that the map was filled with triangular symbols and quadrangular symbols everywhere.

  After racking his brains for half a day, Tian San still couldn't find the legendary 021 high ground, so he put the map in front of Guo Ning and asked: "Things that aren't on the map, how are we supposed to find them?"

  "Nonsense, the 021 high ground is where we often train, there are many things that need to be kept secret, of course it won't be marked on the map." Guo Ning looked at Tian San, who was usually clever, but also had moments of foolishness, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

  However, Guo Ning thought for a moment and didn't think it was funny either. Tian San, as a newcomer to the unit, had no idea what confidentiality work was. So he laid out the map, pointed to a five-pointed star symbol on the map, and told Tian San and others that this was their destination.

  Tian San looked at the 021 high ground and couldn't help but sigh, muttering to himself: "Why do I always meet lunatics? This road is really making it hard for people to survive!"

  After listening to Tian San's words, Tian Ming also rushed up and found his own position. Looking at the destination again, he finally understood why Tian San, who was not afraid of heaven or earth, would be afraid. The roads were all winding mountain paths, and along the way, they had to cross the original forest, but what was unacceptable was that they still had to cross the Yangtze River.

  But Tian Ming suddenly stopped and looked at the map, his heart full of doubts, and asked Guo Ning: "Squad leader, why did our destination run out of Gele Mountain!"

  Guo Ning's words made Tian Ming instantly stunned: "If not, how can it be a wilderness survival? If you don't let them experience it well, Captain Chen won't be satisfied." After that, Guo Ning put away the map, stood up and shook his arm, letting out a low roar.

  Tian San knew that Guo Ning was making this move, which meant he was about to set off again. However, at this moment, the sun was hanging in the west, and it had already reached the normal time for dinner, his stomach had begun to play a hollow tune.

  It wasn't just him, Tian Ming was starving as a foodie. However, he looked around and found that there was nothing to eat in this deep mountain forest. He even wanted to take a bite of the flowers. Tian Ming took out his dagger from his waist and looked at the blade shining with cold light. Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow and smiled, looking at Tian San.

  Tian San was also starving, looked around and saw Tian Ming's sly smile, couldn't help but be startled, thinking what this kid wanted to do.

  "Third son, you say human flesh is delicious?"

  Tian Ming's words stunned everyone, they didn't dare to believe that Tian Ming would say such a thing. Looking at Tian Ming's cold smile, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, they had never thought about what would happen if the foodie went crazy.

  But Tian San smiled and, holding the dagger with its tip pointing upwards, asked Tian Ming: "Nothing's wrong, let me cut off a piece of your pale and tender hand to eat, then I'll know." After saying that, Tian San's smile made Tian Ming shiver with fear.

  "Alright, I give up. Didn't think you were so ruthless!" With that, Tian Ming put the dagger back in its sheath. The others finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these two were just joking around and didn't care about any limits. But after all this commotion, they felt much more at ease.

  Everyone has the spirit, but Guo Ning still remembers Chen Bin's words. On this road, he hasn't seen Li Si and a few others with any unusual movements. Moreover, Chen Bin also issued new orders that before the task is completed, everyone must rush to the destination in a hurry, and will not go thinking about what kind of prank things.

  Thinking of this, Guo Ning felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, so he let everyone hurry up and try to reach their destination before nightfall.

  Who would have thought that a night of summer rain would make the mountain road so difficult to walk, and the scorching sun would make the humid forest even more sweltering. Although they were traveling light without heavy backpacks, everyone felt like they hadn't walked very far but were extremely tired.

  Guo Ning was familiar with this kind of survival training, and he walked steadily whether the road was slippery or rocky. Tian San's body was agile, like a monkey, and he jumped around quickly. On the other hand, Tian Ming followed behind Tian San, panting and hunchbacked, dragging his feet as he walked.

  "No way! I'm done! Monitor, let's take a break?" Tian Ming finally stopped and plopped down on the stone beside him, not caring if it was covered in moss.

  Tian Ming only knew that if he didn't stop, his legs would absolutely no longer belong to him. Others looked at Tian Ming and then at the class monitor, they also wanted to take a rest on the spot, but were afraid of the class monitor getting angry.

  Guo Ning looked at Tian Ming, he really wanted to lose his temper, he looked at the National Defense students of Chongqing University, they were all running with full spirit. These little guys had only been going for an hour and were already exhausted. But he looked at Li Si again, thinking about Chen Bin's order, more importantly, thinking that things can't be forced, so he agreed to Tian Ming's request, and everyone took a rest on the spot.

  Everyone stopped, Tian Ming touched his hungry stomach and looked pitifully at the class monitor.

  "What's wrong with you, kid? Why so much trouble?" Guo Ning finally couldn't hold back and shouted out.

  "Class monitor, people are made of iron and food is steel. If we don't eat for a meal, we'll be starving! We're not made of iron, so if we want to train, we have to eat our fill first!"

  "Why don't you just learn from Tian San and be patient?"

  At this moment, Tian Ming turned his head and looked at Tian San with a smile, saying: "Then you don't know, my dear little three, likes to hoard everything."

  "Stop! I don't need you even if I want to have a base. Are you hungry? I'll go find something to eat." Tian San heard Tian Ming's complaint and stood up helplessly. He took out three bags of sandwich cookies from his pocket and threw them at Tian Ming.

  Guo Ning thought that Tian Ming would definitely devour the cookies in one bite. But he was wrong, when he saw Tian Ming handing out the cookies to Zhang Ye and others, he couldn't believe it, this was something that foodie Tian Ming would do. Except for Tian San and himself, Guo Ning watched as several people divided up the cookies and ate them.

  After eating, Tian Ming smiled at the class monitor and said, "Sorry, it's all gone."

  "Alright! I'm still quite full, and I'm not hungry!" But Guo Ning's words were betrayed by his own uncooperative stomach.

  Tian San couldn't help but burst out laughing at Guo Ning's growling stomach, and patted his hands before turning around to enter the forest. Guo Ning looked at the few people who were trying not to laugh and said, "Don't laugh! Whoever laughs won't get dinner!" and also quickly turned around to enter the forest.

  And their words were clearly heard by Li Si, who had stopped to rest in front. Li Si felt that the time was ripe and reported to the squad leader: "Report! I apply to go find food for everyone!"

  Several others caught Li Si's eye and hastily stood up, saying: "Reporting! We're going too!"

  If it were an ordinary day, Li Si and the others would be so enthusiastic that Class Leader Xiong Lin would definitely be delighted. However, Chen Bin's instructions, which had been stuck in his mind since they entered the forest, made him feel suffocated. He thought that this intense long-distance sprint would make the few of them temporarily forget about bullying, but now that several people are actively entering the forest, they're probably going to take action.

  Xiong Lin didn't dare not respond to the requests of several people, after all it was already more than half an hour past meal time and everyone should indeed eat. Moreover, he had to affirm Li Si's enthusiasm, as a class leader or instructor, this is his duty.

  He nodded in agreement with Li Si's request and only entrusted a few people to hurry back as soon as possible: "Time is limited, just find something casually."

  "Yes!" Li Si took his orders and left.

  He didn't care about the time, he only knew that the timing was right. In this deep mountain and old forest, Tian San's accident while searching for food was just an unexpected event. All plans had been thought out, he decided to let Tian San have a good meal!

  While Li Si and others quickly entered the forest, Xiong Lin also hastily reported to Chen Bin: "Report Hawk, the poisonous snake has moved, the rabbit is in danger!"

  Xiong Lin's report was quickly passed on to Guo Ning, who couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat upon receiving the news. He thought to himself that it must be Tian Ming's joke, and he might have really let Tian San come alone. At this moment, however, Tian San was overjoyed at having discovered some mountain mushrooms growing on the tree roots.
