Chapter 208: Yuan Lang and Chen Jun’s first PK?

Relying on Bater's macho tactics, Wu Liuyi and others successfully passed the level and continued to seize the time and head towards their destination.

Of the twelve players from the Seventh Steel Company, only the last five are left.

But compared with other companies, we are already very lucky.

In the subsequent pursuit, the players from other companies suffered much greater losses than the group from the 7th Steel Company, and were gradually found out by the pursuers from the reconnaissance battalion.

Some people hid in pits overgrown with weeds and even covered their bodies with weeds.

However, because the weeds covering his body were too tangled, he did not fall to one side due to the wind, and was thus discovered by the pursuers and pulled out of the weeds.

Some contestants were unlucky in their choice of path, and there was a large flat grassland ahead.

Unable to hide in the ravines, they could only risk running fast to pass this flat section as quickly as possible.

As a result, they were soon discovered by the pursuers and rushed over with the engine roaring.

The contestants could only speed up and run forward desperately.

The soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion who caught up seemed to enjoy this cat-and-mouse game and did not fire a shot to trigger the laser beacons on the contestants.

Just chasing slowly from behind.

It was not until all the contestants were out of breath and exhausted that they were leisurely carried into the car.

When the time came to 12:30 noon, nearly half of the more than 40 contestants who escaped in the first wave were eliminated.

There are only about twenty players still struggling in the battle zone.

We were sent to the war zone at around six in the morning, and it has only been six hours, or half a day, and we have eliminated more than sixty people.

The elimination rate is as high as over 70 percent!
It can be seen how difficult the selection and assessment that Yuan Lang prepared is to complete, and it also represents how high the threshold is to enter Team A.

Such a high elimination rate is enough to prove it.

The players who can survive the first and second waves, the two most dangerous waves of pursuit, are all very capable.

And as the players spread out more widely, the more difficult it will be to search for them.

It will be several times more difficult for the reconnaissance camp to catch the remaining contestants than before.

Not to mention catching several at once like before, one volley of bullets can even eliminate two or three, so it would be difficult to catch two at once.

It can only become a game of whack-a-mole.

Look for them one by one slowly, and fight them one by one slowly.

The way we search must also change.

From before, you can see where the person is, and you can get something by following that direction.

All I could do was wander around along the road, looking for clues left by the contestants. It all depended on luck, and I would find as many as I could find.

By the way, a large number of small teams will be dispatched to set up checkpoints at various key intersections.

Blocking the contestants' path will increase the difficulty of selection.

The five men of the 7th Steel Company had been running for the entire morning. Seeing that it was already past lunch time, they finally could not bear it any longer and had to stop to rest.

They found a relatively secluded small mound of earth and several people hid inside to rest.

Wu Liuyi and others, who had consumed a lot of physical energy, were so hungry that their biological clocks reminded them to eat lunch at noon, so they basically took out their field rations.

Take out a little from it to satisfy your hunger so that you will have enough energy to continue your journey in the afternoon.

Only Xu Sanduo could really bear it. In this situation, he did not take out the dry food to eat, but instead started digging up water chestnuts from the embankment.

Then he enthusiastically shared it with others, saying as he distributed it: "This is Houttuynia cordata. Although it has an earthy smell, it is edible and has a lot of moisture. If everyone eats a little, it will satisfy your hunger."

Wu Liuyi had already opened a bag of chocolates when he saw the Chinese zheergen that Xu Sanduo handed over.

Thinking that there was still a day and a half to endure and the days ahead would be the hardest, and that Xu Sanduo hadn't eaten yet, he put the food back into the packaging and put it in the bag.

He took the Houttuynia cordata and started chewing it, swallowing it together with the juice and the residue, with the main goal of filling his stomach.

"Those three idiots, you are really patient."

Chengcai had eaten half of the biscuit in his hand. Seeing that Wu Liuyi had put it away, he had to put it away as well and took the Houttuynia cordata from Xu Sanduo.

The deputy monitor must act like a deputy monitor. Even if he is hungry, he has to set an example.

He really admires Xu Sanduo!
"Carrying more than 20 kilograms of stuff, being chased by people and running around the mountain like a mouse, screaming with hunger, and having to eat grass like a goat, bah~"

Gan Xiaoning angrily spat out the Houttuynia cordata and took out field rations from his pocket.

Open it and take a look.

His face became even uglier.

Because the bag was empty, the only small piece of candy left in it was taken out and eaten by him at some point.

"Hey~"

Gan Xiaoning threw the bag on the ground and said with a fierce look on his face: "If I see the reconnaissance battalion's car later, I will definitely rush over, raise my gun and yell at them, 'Don't move, hand over the meat buns, I want fresh meat.'"

"It's still broad daylight now, wait a minute before you dream." Cheng Caichang said speechlessly.

"You? And you shouted? I think you should just pull the smoking stick and let them take you back. Go to the prisoners' camp, where you might even get roasted rabbits to eat." Bai Tiejun complained mercilessly.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

Wu Liuyi interrupted the others' verbal attacks and said sternly, "Gan Xiaoning, pick up the garbage bag and don't expose your position.

If you want to eat meat, I won't stop you, but you can't lose face for the Seventh Company. There are no cowards in the Seventh Company.

As long as you are not exhausted and there is still breath in your nose, you have to hold on for me, and hold on for as long as you can for one more minute.

This is not a safe place, eat quickly, we still have to move on."

Wu Liuyi still has enough prestige. After being scolded by him, Gan Xiaoning didn't dare to complain, and the others stopped talking nonsense.

I just focused on eating the dug-out water chestnuts. Only after I was full did I have the energy to continue my journey.

……

7 o'clock in the evening.

The reconnaissance battalion teams responsible for the pursuit had basically all returned to the camp, leaving only those who had set up checkpoints and intercepted the enemies still guarding the various intersections.

Wait until the people here finish their meal, then go back and hand it over to them.

Chen Jun, along with the eliminated players from the 7th Steel Company, also drove to the camp at this time and first settled Bater and others in the rest area.

Yuan Lang had already set up two large barbecue grills and was busy working in an apron.

He looks like a chef!

Seeing Chen Jun driving back, Yuan Lang immediately greeted him from a distance: "Come on, come on, you're back just in time, come over and give me a hand."

"Commander, didn't you say roasted rabbit? How come it turned into roasted lamb?" Chen Jun walked over and said with a smile.

"Don't call me Chief, that's too formal. This isn't the first time we meet. There's no need to be so formal. Just call me Lieutenant Colonel, or Yuan Lang."

Yuan Lang got closer to Chen Jun, and then he said while brushing oil on the sheep: "Look, we have been running all day, and everyone is very tired.

There were only two rabbits, so there was not enough meat. It was enough for the two of us to have a little wine. So our team leader specially invited us to have a meal. He found a herdsman who had freshly slaughtered a rabbit in the afternoon and invited everyone to eat mutton, so that we could have a good meal. "

Yuan Lang acted like a sympathetic soldier, totally forgetting that everyone was so tired and it was all his fault.

"Your captain is really considerate. It's really a blessing to serve under him." Chen Jun deliberately spoke sarcastically and teased Yuan Lang.

Yuan Lang clearly understood, but pretended to be confused. He shook his head and said in a serious tone, "Of course. Our captain is famous for loving his soldiers like his own sons. If you come to Squadron A, you will definitely be treated better than me."

Seeing that Yuan Lang was taking the opportunity to poach people again, Chen Jun decisively ignored him.

Changing the subject, he said, "Lieutenant Colonel Yuan, your method of roasting lamb is wrong. You shouldn't apply oil like this, and your fire is too big. The meat outside will be burnt before the inside is cooked."

As he spoke, Chen Jun took action himself, took a bottle of mineral water from the side, opened it, flattened the mouth of the bottle with his hands, and began to pour the water towards the fire below.

The opening of this mineral water bottle was quite hard, but Chen Jun easily pinched it with two fingers.

Yuan Lang’s eyes lit up as he looked at it!
I became more and more curious about Chen Jun's strength.

If it were possible to find a suitable opportunity, Yuan Lang really wanted to have a good fight with Chen Jun, a head-on fist-to-fist fight.

Keeping this thought in mind, Yuan Lang followed Chen Jun's instructions and simply handed over the brush.

"Oh, I finally met a master. I am just a novice when it comes to barbecue. I was just pretending. Since you are the master, I will leave this to you. You must not let me down."

Yuan Lang actually knows how to barbecue, but he just wanted to build a good relationship with Chen Jun and flatter him for free, which was naturally a good thing.

"Captain Yuan, you are too modest. I think your skills are not worse than mine. I have to learn from you."

Chen Jun also wanted to build a good relationship with Yuan Lang, so I simply made a suggestion: "How about this, here are two sheep, we each roast one, and then let the soldiers evaluate who has the better cooking skills."

"Haha, I like a challenge, let's do it."

Yuan Lang laughed and agreed readily, then walked to the barbecue grill next to him.

The two of them used the roasted lamb as a topic and just sat there chatting while roasting it, beginning their first endless chat.

We also got to know each other better during this casual chat without any work involved.

……

There were both joy and sorrow in the headquarters camp. The eliminated contestants all had sad faces, while the soldiers of the reconnaissance company who had been catching mice all day were smiling.

Anyone who has served in the military knows how wonderful it is to be on a business trip.

For the players who are still alive in the war zone, they will face the safest, but also the most difficult and even painful night.

Anyone who understands knows how extreme the night temperatures are in the north in January.

Even though the temperature in the capital area is slightly higher, unlike the three northeastern provinces where it often drops to dozens of degrees below zero, it is still very terrifying.

The contestants who were afraid to make a fire for fear of exposing their position could only find ways to survive the night on their own.

Fortunately, everyone was fully armed for this assessment, and the soldiers brought out mattresses and quilts, so they could get through it as long as they covered themselves with quilts.

Otherwise, without a fire and a quilt, you would definitely freeze to death at night.

As for when to take a break...

The desperate contestants can hold on a little longer, travel further at night when there are no pursuers, or even travel overnight, and find a way to rest when the sun comes out during the day.

Players who seek stability can only find a suitable place to set up camp after nightfall.

Wu Liuyi and his friends chose the middle path. They used the first half of the night to travel as fast as possible, and only in the second half of the night did they find a place to rest.

I found a sunken pit in the ground, put the mattress underneath as a partition, and covered myself with a quilt to sleep.

I didn't dare take off my clothes, helmet and shoes.

It's mainly for safety reasons. If something unexpected happens, you can get up, stuff the quilt into the backpack, and run away immediately.

Can save a lot of time.

At the same time, in order to keep the body warm at night and avoid problems while sleeping, Wu Liuyi ordered everyone to eat all the remaining dry food.

Store up enough energy for your body to cope with this cold night.

Gan Xiaoning, who had already finished his dry food, could only watch the other four people give him a little bit each and rely on everyone's help to fill his stomach.

Gan Xiaoning smiled while eating, but when no one else was paying attention, a look of sadness and self-blame flashed in his eyes.

In order to ensure safety at night and avoid being harassed by poisonous insects, snakes, ants and wild beasts, the five people also took turns on duty. Each person stood on duty for one hour and could sleep for four hours, which could basically meet their personal sleep needs.

Yuan Lang just wants to select outstanding contestants, not torture them to death.

He appears to be messing around.

In fact, I know it better than anyone else.

Therefore, no one was arranged to come out throughout the night, so that the contestants could enjoy a peaceful night and continue working until dawn.

The five players from the 7th Steel Company were awakened by the roar of the engine in the early morning.

When Wu Liu saw the car appear in this place, he knew that this area was no longer safe and the reconnaissance battalion would definitely start to check this area.

In order to avoid being caught by the reconnaissance battalion, he immediately led the team to continue on the journey.

Almost twenty-four hours had passed from yesterday morning to this morning, and everyone had eaten very little.

Just a bag of field rations for breakfast, and some wild vegetables picked up on the road.

With the high intensity of continuous travel, this amount of food was not enough to replenish physical energy, and everyone was already starving.

Compared to yesterday when they were still able to run fast while being chased, today Wu Liuyi and others are already exhausted.

After jogging for less than an hour, I basically couldn't run anymore. The best I could do was maintain a brisk walking pace, and that was very difficult.

There was an abnormal paleness on his face.

Especially Gan Xiaoning, who finished his dry food first and was relatively fat.

He felt really uncomfortable and felt like he was going to faint.

He started muttering to himself since he was on the road in the morning, cursing that all the members of Team A were not human beings, and then cursing that all the members of the reconnaissance battalion were bastards.

He kept muttering, as if only by cursing could he have the strength to walk.

Apart from cursing at the beginning, Wu Liuyi asked Gan Xiaoning to save his energy, save the energy for talking, and concentrate on walking.

Later I realized it was useless to say anything, so I didn’t bother to say anything anymore.

Wu Liuyi also knew Gan Xiaoning's situation. He was already satisfied that he could survive one day. He no longer cared how long the rest of the people could last.

But he also knew that if they continued like this, they would not survive the day.

Food must be replenished!

So Wu Liuyi was trying to find a solution all the way. Perhaps it was God who had a way out. After walking for less than two hours, he really found a solution.

He saw two mice were frightened and ran into the hole nearby.

Wu Liuyi, whose stomach was growling with hunger, turned green with anger when he saw the two mice. He immediately took out his military knife and rushed over in a few steps.
