The System Can't Take It Anymore!
Although Lin Xuan had lived two lives, he did not have the experience of fishing.
However, if one had never eaten pork before, would one not have seen a pig run?
Seeing many half-foot-long fish in the pool, Lin Xuan and the other two did not say anything. They used the military daggers in their hands to sharpen the branches and make two harpoons.
They had watched the scene of fishing in the wild on TV many times. In addition, the small pool was not very deep. After the harpoon was made, the two of them directly went into the water and stabbed at the leisurely fish.
But…
They went up and down, back and forth, and forked 30 to 50 times, but none of them hit the target.
Just as Geng Jihui complained that the fish here were too slippery, Lin Xuan suddenly thought of a key problem.
If the surface of the water was a mirror, then light would be refracted when it passed through the surface of the water.
In other words, the fish they saw on the surface of the water were all virtual images. If they wanted to harpoon the fish's body, the harpoon had to land a little lower!
After figuring this out, Lin Xuan stabbed the pool again.
But…
Knowing is easier said than done.
They aimed at the water surface and stabbed again. After working for a long time, they only managed to catch two small fish that were less than ten centimeters long.
Just as Lin Xuan was about to fight these fish head-on, the system could not stand it anymore…
"Ding! Detected that the host is seriously fishing and has waved the harpoon more than 100 times. Reward: Elementary Fishing Skill!”
Hence, Lin Xuan's fishing skills advanced by leaps and bounds. In less than ten minutes, more than ten fish died in his hands, making Geng Jihui stunned.
However, when he came back and wanted to get a few grilled fish to fill his stomach, he realized that the logistics department did not even get a spark…
Although it was common for special forces soldiers to eat living things in the field, Lin Xuan and the others had not undergone training in this area.
It would be difficult for them to pick up a wild grass carp with scales and swallow it whole…
If he didn't want to drink Mao Ru's blood and eat living things raw, he could only think of a way to continue the fire.
However, Lin Xuan did not have any experience in starting a fire in the wild. He could only think of two methods: drilling wood to start a fire and flint to start a fire.
If there was no one around, he could still exchange for a box of matches from the system, but now, he really had no choice.
"Hey, aren't we going to start a fire? What are you all standing there for?" Old Pao and Qiang Zi from the picking team also returned with a full load.
The two of them were holding a pile of mushrooms, wild beans, wild vegetables, green fruits, and other food. At a glance, they were quite rich in variety and nutrition.
" We can't light it…" One of the team members said in a somewhat discouraged manner.
"Can't light it?"
Old Pao put down the mushrooms and green fruits in his hands and walked over.
Looking at the traces left behind by drilling wood and flint, Old Pao smiled and said,"Leave this kind of work to me…"
After saying that, Old Pao looked around, chopped off a vine, and walked over.
" Although this classical method of making fire by drilling wood is the most widespread, it is also the most difficult. If we continue to drill like this, it will probably take at least an hour for the temperature of the drill to reach the standard of igniting tinder…"
Old Pao said as he collected all the sticky boards, drills, and tinder used to make fire.
After placing the tinder in the V-shaped groove on the sticky board, Old Cannon wrapped the rattan around the drill a few times.
"Two people, come and help!"
The two members standing behind Chen Guotao hurried forward.
Under Old Pao's command, a new round of fire-making began.
One of them used a wooden cover with a groove to fix the drill shaft to the drill plate. Old Cannon and the other person grabbed the two ends of the rattan on the drill bit and quickly pulled it back and forth. The drill bit wrapped in the rattan also quickly rotated.
Looking at the three of them working together, Lin Xuan nodded in understanding.
In fact, this method of starting a fire was the same as starting a fire by drilling wood.
However, the difference was that the three of them working together was not only efficient, but also more energy-saving. They also did not have to worry about the skin on their hands being scratched…
Ten minutes later, the tinder placed in the groove of the sticky board slowly emitted a wisp of green smoke.
Seeing this, the few of them worked even harder, and the speed of the drill's rotation increased significantly.
Two to three minutes later, a light blue flame finally appeared in the groove of the sticky board.
Chen Guotao hurriedly brought over the dried leaves that he had prepared earlier. As if he was welcoming the holy fire, he gradually ignited the flames.
Seeing the small flame rapidly grow, Lin Xuan and the others, who were blocking the wind, cheered in unison.
A few minutes after the fire was lit, the three hunters slowly walked back.
The three people who were originally going to catch the hare did not even bring back the hare fur, but they did not come back empty-handed.
The paratrooper was holding a snake that was three to four feet long and could hold at least ten to twenty chicken necks.
Zhuang Yan and Shi Dafan each held a few quail egg-sized eggs.
The other two team members who went to find water sources brought back a few pots of cool spring water with a multi-purpose kettle.
Now, it was time to count the spoils of war that rookie Team A had collected in the past two hours.
Eight flasks of clear water.
Thirteen quail eggs.
Fifteen grass carps that were half a foot long.
It was a long snake that had lost its head but had delicious meat.
There was a pile of mushrooms that had been eaten by ants, so they were definitely not poisonous.
There were three large piles of wild broad beans that had been eaten by rabbits, so there were definitely two to three catties of edible wild vegetables.
There were more than 40 wild fruits that were green and not very sweet. Moreover, their surfaces were smooth and did not even have wormholes.
It was already close to five in the afternoon, and Lin Xuan and the others were already starving.
Putting all the spoils of war in the middle, everyone quickly got busy.
Those who needed to process fish scales, those who needed to wash vegetables, those who needed to boil water…
You asked how to boil water without a military cooker?
Weren't the steel helmets on their heads ready-made iron pots?
After a sumptuous meal without any condiments, the sky slowly darkened.
Although they had only advanced less than 20 kilometers today, Lin Xuan immediately decided to set up camp and rest.
As the old saying goes, the body is the capital of revolution.
If they didn't eat well and sleep well, how could they complete the mission given by their superiors?
How could he conquer this primitive forest that was filled with unknowns?
Find the four targets that Old Gao mentioned?
At eight o'clock in the evening, the other members of Rookie Team A had already fallen asleep.
Lin Xuan, who was in charge of keeping watch, was more than ten meters away from Chen Guotao as he looked around vigilantly.
Hearing the sounds of insects around him, Chen Guotao looked at the members who were lying all over the place. He thought for a moment and walked towards Lin Xuan,"Lin Xuan, we spent too much time looking for food today and almost delayed an afternoon…"
"In other words, we have only traveled less than 20 kilometers in a day. If we don't speed up, we will have to travel in the jungle for at least 20 days to complete the mission!”
Lin Xuan smiled,"More than 20 days is not considered a lot, right?"”
"Don't forget, there's no time limit for our mission this time. In other words, as long as we can get the four tokens and walk out of this forest alive, we'll have completed the mission!”
Lin Xuan stretched lazily and looked at the lush leaves above his head,"You didn't think that Old Gao would be so careless as to forget to set the mission duration for us, did you?”
"You mean the ultimate goal of the wild wolves is not to give us the four tokens, but to let us learn how to survive in the jungle?" Chen Guotao suddenly understood.”
When they were brought here, Old Gao had already said that the core of the third stage of the selection was " survival "!
As the vice-captain, he had forgotten about survival after a busy day.
This was not a mistake that a qualified commander should make…
