The wind blew from the mountains and hit the soldiers of the third squad, but it was hot. The 81 automatic rifle that was crossed on the camouflage backpack was touched in the hand like a fire stick in the stove.

A student suddenly took off his backpack and threw it on the ground, breaking down: "There is no water, there is no road ahead, we are going to be finished..."

His actions were contagious like a virus, one, two, three...

One after another, the students sat down in the weeds, silent, depressed, desperate, and despaired, with different expressions.

Liu Xiangdong gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled for a moment. He felt dizzy. The water was already drunk. His extraordinary physical overdrawn made him feel extremely tired. He was carrying a weight of more than 40 pounds. He ate pitifully for lunch and was awkward but life-saving compressed biscuits now made his stomach sore and he felt like vomiting.

He swallowed, suppressing the movements in his stomach.

Looking at Xu Yuan and Chen Bin, the two of them had already been defeated by the cruel facts. What else could they say when they brought a class into such a situation?

Apart from guilt, pain and despair, no other expression was found on Chen Bin and Xu Yuan's faces. The team was completely in desperate situation, no matter which aspect, including spirit.

"Xu Yuan, let's turn back, walk back slowly, and return to the mountain spring to replenish water. Everything is easy to deal with when there is water. We can't drag it on here, otherwise something really will happen."

Liu Xiangdong walked over and pulled Xu Yuan on the ground.

Xu Yuan stared at the bushes under the cliff without saying a word.

A student next to him suddenly scolded: "Your mom, don't you make a lot of reasons when you want to take shortcuts? One by one, now you won't be able to make a fuss!"

Xu Yuan came back to his senses, his face turned blue and white.

Another student scolded: "Xu Yuan, Chen Bin, you have killed everyone! They are usually braised, but now the whole class is done with you. You are happy!"

Xu Yuan couldn't help but yell, "Who are you scolding! Who are you scolding! I fuck, don't you all agree when I decided to take the shortcut? Let's blame me now?!"

The two students jumped up like a needle prick and shouted: "If you scold you, you will scold you, you will be fucking blamed you!"

Xu Yuan turned his head to face them, his eyes burned like flames, his fists were pinched tightly, and the two students did not show weakness, and they had the same expressions confronted each other.

"Why are you arguing? It's time? I'm still messing around when I die at the beginning! It's okay to save some energy to walk!" Liu Xiangdong, who has always been the most inconspicuous, said at this time, while carrying his gear, "Let's go! Are you waiting to die here? Turn back! As long as we return to the mountain spring, there will be water. If there is water, we can't die. At worst, we will go back to the meeting point late, and our grades are just a little bit! Living is more important than anything else!"

These words were like cold water, awakening all the uneasy students and returning to the current situation.

Indeed, it seems that there is no meaning to pursue who is right and who is wrong at this time. There is no way forward and food and water are in a hurry. There is nothing more important than solving these problems and getting rid of the current dilemma.

After all, more than a dozen trained soldiers were all soldiers. Many of them quickly calmed down. Everyone carried their gears again and followed Liu Xiangdong back on the same route.

From here, the distance to the intersection of the valley is 15 kilometers, and then the marching distance of 20 kilometers from the intersection of the valley is 35 kilometers, which is equivalent to almost retracing the journey today.

The water in the entire squad was basically exhausted, and the heat and thirst torture every soldier. After walking 5 kilometers, everyone's lips felt petrified. Even if they used their tongue to lick, they would not dare to grow their mouths. They could only open their mouths slightly, and stretched out their tongues like a snake spitting out a letter.

Everyone had to stop again.

Until today, everyone has not had any rice in it, and there is no water, so they can't cook it at all, and there are very few compressed biscuits that are difficult to swallow.

Everyone took out the dry food silently, wanted to eat it, but couldn't get it. They stuffed it into their mouths with their eyes closed. The compressed biscuits chewed by their teeth were no different from the sand. It was simply torture.

I don’t know who ate too fast and was choked. I coughed and sprayed powder-like biscuits.

Chen Bin walked to a piece of thatch. No one had cut down the thatch here for many years. It was a large area of ​​lushness. He cut down the thatch, dug up the roots, and plucked the soil on it.

The thick thatch roots are white and tender like green onions. After visually calculating, they put them in their mouths and chew them. First, they felt a sense of coolness and sweetness, and then a strange astringent smell.

He raised the thatched root in his hand and said, "This thing can last for a while."

A large area of ​​thatch was quickly cut down. Many people didn't care about the cheeks and palms that were cut by the thatch, and couldn't wait to imitate Chen Bin to chew the roots of the thatch.

Some uncleaned soil mixed with saliva and stuck to the corners of the mouth, and the soldiers' eyes ignited a flame of survival. As long as there is moisture here, it is a fire of hope.

Half an hour later, in addition to getting supplements from the thatched roots, each person also cut some and put them in his shoulder bag.

The team stood up again, and the eleven strong backbones were carrying failure, hesitation, hunger, thirst, and fear, but they were still upright.

Liu Xiangdong was at the end of the team, and he felt something was wrong with his body.

He vigorously cheered up and carried all the equipment, looked up at the sun in the sky, and felt that the originally dazzling light was a little dark and dim.

He thought that sitting for a long time caused insufficient blood supply to the brain, so he wanted to take a few steps to move.

Suddenly, his mouth became salty and his stomach surged. He spat a mouthful of bile, and the person began to spin, and then fell down straight.

In an instant, darkness enveloped everything.

...

In Huzhen’s central primary school, Class 7 is definitely the most dazzling protagonist tonight.

Not only did there be enough pork tonight, but the cooking squad of each squadron cooked a large pot of mung bean soup today, with sugar in it and drinking it casually.

Tonight, the students in Class 7 will eat and drink.

After taking a shower, hanging up his beard, Zhuangyan checked Junying in front of a mirror in the school communication room. She felt that although she was a little darker and thinner in the mirror, she became more men.

Just as the students of the Third Squadron were holding their own bowls on the school playground, the temporary command post of the brigade headquarters, Wen Zhixing, the brigade leader, frowned and looked at the map in front of him. For more than ten minutes, his eyes were not moved away for a moment.

The captain of the first squadron knocked on the already open wooden door. Before Wen Zhixing could raise his head from the map, the person hurried to the table.

"Captain, the third squad has not come back yet." His tone was filled with worry and anxiety.

Wen Zhixing looked at his watch.

It was already ten o'clock in the night.

Four days ago, I never tried a class that was late for so long and didn't return to the team.

"Have you asked the students from other classes of your squadron?"

"I asked, no one encountered the third shift on the way." Liu Jianwei, the captain of the first squadron, said: "In theory, the third shift was the third one to set off in the morning. Although the routes of each shift will be slightly different, if they are so much behind, someone who sets out later should meet them on the way."

Wen Zhixing took a long breath and asked again: "Did no one hear the whistle of help or see the signal flare?"

Each squad is equipped with two whistles and a signal gun, plus five red signal flares.

Because although the routes of each squadron are different, each squadron has twelve squads, and the routes between squadrons are not very different, so the possibility of encounter is very high.

If some classes are in danger or get lost, they can keep whistling, and the sharp whistle can be heard 2-3 kilometers in the quiet mountainous areas.

The light of the red signal flare is very bright. The light emitted by a medium-diameter flare can reach 400,000-500,000 candlelight, with a duration of 25-35 seconds. It can illuminate targets within 1 kilometer. If the sight is good at night, you can see it for ten kilometers.

Liu Jianwei shook his head and said, "No, I have asked all the classes, including the second and third squadrons. None of them said that they had seen a distress signal."

Wen Zhixing thought for a moment and immediately said, "Call Xiao Kecheng and all the other teachers immediately."

Xiao Kecheng is a military instructor in the brigade headquarters, and he mainly talks about topography. In this regard, he is a master.

"yes."

Liu Jianwei turned around, and Wen Zhixing called him again: "Wait."

"Captain, what's the matter?"

"In addition, I notified the captain of the second squadron and the captain of the third squadron to come to me. I think something is wrong in this situation. I am afraid something will happen..."

Liu Jianwei's heart skipped a beat.

He also knew there was something wrong? It was just that he was unwilling to think in that direction.

Squad 3 is his own soldiers, and it is difficult for him to accept whoever has any problems.

"Okay, I'll go right now!"

After Liu Jianwei left, Wen Zhixing quickly walked to the door.

"Xiao Li! Come here!"

Xiao Li, a correspondent who had been sitting foolishly under the tree next to the temporary command of the brigade headquarters, immediately started to bounce.

"arrive!"

"You contact the department duty room immediately. I have an emergency here and I need to report it immediately!"

...

More than ten minutes later, the solemn and solemn returned to the dormitory temporarily converted from the classroom. Others in the third district team were playing poker, some were bragging and smoking.

Zhuangyan returned to her bed, took off her shoes and lay down.

He was so tired today that he was not in the mood to play poker and brag, and just wanted to have a good sleep.

As soon as he lay down, he began to fall asleep quickly in a daze.

Suddenly, the voice of the squad leader Luo Xiaoming burst into the dormitory: "Second class 7, don't bring back a backpack, just a small training bag, a gun, a kettle, and gather at the door!"

Solemnly popped up from the bed subconsciously.

He looked at the door and could no longer see the old seventh Luo Xiaoming.

"What happened?" he turned to other comrades and asked.

The other students in Class 89 were confused and spread their hands.

Yan Su and the other comrades from the Seventh Class were packing up as required.

Xu Xingguo flashed in from outside the door and said mysteriously: "Our class has gathered. The captain and instructor outside are on the playground. It seems that something big happened!"
