journey

Zhuang Yi was taken to a forest with his eyes covered, the dense forest saw very little sunlight, and the accompanying soldiers took off his blindfolds and left without looking back.Zhuang Yi had never been exposed to this kind of military or survival training, so he was a little at a loss.Unable to tell any direction, he walked several hundred meters in panic. There was a big rock leaning against a tree. Zhuang Yi walked over and sat down. He opened his equipment bag and looked for it. There was a compass.I remember that when looking down the mountain, the mountain is in the northeast direction, so is it right to go southwest?I looked through the backpack again, and after tidying it up, I got up and walked southwest.Looking at the surrounding trees while walking, I wondered where Chu Zheng was.

Chu Zheng was lucky. He was placed in a stream. Where there is water, there is a road. If you follow the water, you will be able to go down the mountain.But he can't, he has to find Zhuang Yi first.After looking around and identifying the direction, Chu Zheng squatted down and washed his face with stream water, then walked towards the forest.

When Chu Zheng left in the morning, Luo Nianli was awake, but pretended to be asleep and didn't make a sound.After Chu Zheng left, Luo Nianli couldn't fall asleep anymore, and after lying down for a while, he sent a text message to Gao Wuyang, asking him if he wanted to go out to play.After a while, Gao Wuyang returned to him and asked him if it was okay to go to the park to play badminton.After Luo Nianli got back, he got up and got dressed.After leaving the bedroom, Chen Shufen happened to come out to go to the toilet. Seeing Luo Luo wearing this early in the morning, she asked him where he was going in doubt. Luo Nianli said that he was going to play ball with his classmates.

At the gate of the courtyard, Gao Wuyang was standing there in sports shorts with a bag of badminton rackets on his back, waiting for him.Luo Nianli trotted over,

"Why did you get up so early?"

Luo Nianli asked.

"Oh, I have the habit of running in the morning. But you, why did you ask me out early this morning?"

"It's nothing, just can't sleep."

Gao Wuyang was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions, and the two walked side by side to a nearby small park.

Under the scorching sun, Zhuang Yi felt that the forest was very stuffy, and he was a little annoyed that he hadn't gone out after walking for a long time.When he was considering whether to change direction, he heard a "rustling" sound from the tree behind him. Zhuang Yi turned his head to look, but there was nothing on the tree.Is it a bird?With doubts, Zhuang Yi hid behind a nearby tree, and after waiting for a while, he saw a wild monkey crawling down from the dense leaves. Maybe he couldn't see the man just now, and he swung quickly by pulling the branch Several trees ran a hundred meters away in minutes.Anyway, I don't know how to get there, so I just follow it to have a look.Thinking so, Zhuang Yi quietly followed the monkey far away.

Sure enough, after running for a long time, he followed the monkey to a relatively open area, where Zhuang Yi sat down against a rock, intending to open his backpack to find some supplies.Just as he took out the kettle and took a sip, a gunshot sounded not far away, and then he saw a student-like man in a camouflage uniform, with smoke on his shoulder, running nervously from the woods he had just run out of.Zhuang Yi immediately packed up his equipment, got up and looked behind the rock, and saw that the student just ran out of the woods, was shot in the back again, smoke enveloped him in an instant, and a red light came on behind him.It's a fugitive!Zhuang Yi was in a bad mood, he lowered his body and tried not to make a sound.I saw a person wearing black tight-fitting short-sleeves and loose camouflage pants underneath. The muscular shape of the upper body can be seen at a glance. It is difficult to have such a good figure without exercising for three to five years.With the gun in one hand on his shoulder and the other in his trouser pocket, he wandered out of the woods and said to the "dead" students:

"You have already sacrificed. Stay here and don't move, someone will come to pick you up later."

After speaking, he scanned the surroundings, Zhuang Yi quickly lowered his head, and clearly heard his heart pounding. The "runaway" didn't see Zhuang Yi, he turned around and walked back to the woods with his gun in hand, and Zhuang Yi didn't dare to get up until he was far away. The "dead" student was startled when he saw Zhuang Yi, then sighed again, and sat on the ground in resignation.Zhuang Yi didn't know what to say, and when he was about to turn around and run in the opposite direction, the student stopped him.

"Hey, I can take my equipment."

Zhuang Yi was stunned for a moment, hesitated and walked over,

"I'm sorry, thank you."

He picked up the student's equipment bag, turned around and ran in the opposite direction of the woods.The open space was not too wide, and after a few steps, there were trees again. Zhuang Yi picked out the useful items in the student's equipment bag, and discarded the useless ones.Knowing that there would be "fugitives" in the woods, he proceeded more cautiously.

Running evasively, the sky was getting darker and darker, Zhuang Yi's route began to be aimless, and he had never exercised in this area, which made Zhuang Yi really exhausted.Following the sound of the water through the woods, it was a narrow waterway. The water in the kettle had already been drunk, so he went to the water's edge to wash his face, thinking of getting some water by the way.As soon as he took out the kettle before turning it on, he heard a sound behind him. Zhuang Yi immediately got up and turned on the flashlight to look back. In the darkness, a pair of fluorescent eyes were watching him in the woods. Zhuang Yi's hairs all stood up. .what is ittiger?Wolf?Zhuang Yi looked around, the river was still very empty, and it was not conducive to escape, what to do.He became a little scared, and slowly reached into the equipment bag, looking for the dagger.Seeing that Zhuang Yi didn't move with his green eyes, he started to move forward tentatively. Zhuang Yi stepped back with the dagger in his hand, his body began to tremble unknowingly.Chu Zheng...Chu Zheng...

"Chu Zheng!"

Zhuang Yi retreated to the water's edge, closed his eyes in despair and called out Chu Zheng's name. The beast was frightened and rushed towards him.Suddenly, a torch flew from the right side, spun and smashed towards the beast, hit the head, and by the light of the fire, it was vaguely seen that the beast was an animal similar to a leopard, but it was not a leopard.The beast was hit, it jumped to the side lightly, shook its head, and howled, obviously annoyed.Chu Zheng quickly ran to Zhuang Yi's side, grabbed his arm, turned and jumped into the river.The ferocious beast ran to the river and chased along the water for a while. Seeing the two flopping and drifting further and further away in the water, it roared angrily and stopped chasing.

Chu Zheng held onto Zhuang Yi's arm tightly in the water, trying to wrap his arms around his waist, but the water was so fast that Chu Zheng couldn't exert his strength.Zhuang Yi was choked up several times, and desperately stuck his head out of the water.The two were washed out along the water for a long time before the current became stable. Chu Zheng immediately hugged Zhuang Yi with one hand to support him vigorously, and with the other hand he tried hard to paddle towards the shore.Zhuang Yi was choked and coughed non-stop, feeling extremely uncomfortable.Chu Zheng dragged Zhuang Yi to the shore in embarrassment, and sat down beside him to pant.Zhuang Yi gasped and coughed, calmed down a bit, turned his head and saw Chu Zheng next to him, as if he had just realized it was him, a surge of enthusiasm welled up in his eyes, for the rest of his life, Zhuang Yi couldn't help himself and stretched out his arms to hug him Chu Zheng, Chu Zheng was stunned for a while, then raised his hand hesitantly, hugged Zhuang Yi's back, and patted it lightly.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Chu Zheng comforted him, but Zhuang Yi hugged him without moving.After waiting for a while, Chu Zheng felt really uncomfortable with the wet and greasy feeling on his body, so he gently pushed Zhuang Yi.

"Zhuang Yi? It's not very safe here, we have to change places."

Zhuang Yi seemed to have just woken up from a dream, he slowly left Chu Zheng, Chu Zheng looked at him up and down, there was no problem, so he pulled him up, Zhuang Yi exhaled, and slowly stood up.The backpack was already soaked, Chu Zheng picked up his own and Zhuang Yi's bags, checked for any leaks, handed Zhuang Yi's bag to him, held Zhuang Yi's hand with one hand, Zhuang Yi looked down at him and Chu With Zheng's implicated hand, I felt a sense of safety and security in my heart.

Chu Zheng led him, keeping an eye on his surroundings, and went into the woods.

"Although there are many dangers in the woods, it is also the safest place. It can hide the enemy as well as yourself. A place that is too open can only expose yourself."

Chu Zheng whispered to Zhuang Yi, and Zhuang Yi followed him and nodded.

"Night is usually the time for ferocious beasts to come out to look for food. Places like the riverside are the most dangerous places, so you can't stay longer."

Walking to a slope, the slope was not very steep, and there was a big tree growing obliquely on it. Chu Zheng asked Zhuang Yi to go up and sit on the tree, and he himself protected him from the back to go up.

"It's okay here, people and animals generally don't stay on the slopes."

After sitting down, Chu Zheng looked around, and then took out the vacuum beef jerky and compressed biscuits in his backpack.Seeing that Chu Zheng's food had hardly been touched, Zhuang Yi was a little worried.

"Have you not eaten all day?"

"Ok?"

Chu Zheng gave him a strange look, and Zhuang Yi pouted at the food in his hand.Chu Zheng was stunned, and said with a smile:

"No, I always eat wild food. There is no meat or fruit in the forest, and there is no shortage of food. This is for you. I'm afraid you won't know how to find something to eat and you will be hungry."

Zhuang Yi took the food, feeling warm in his heart.He opened the package and gave half of it to Chu Zheng, telling him that he had taken the "dead" student's equipment, and there was a piece of food in it.

"Have you seen The Fugitive?"

"Well. He is tall and straight, holding a gun, and looks very powerful."

Chu Zheng didn't speak, and thought for a while in silence.

"Zhuang Yi, I don't want to take you into danger. I'll find a safe place tomorrow, and you stay there."

"what are you going to do?"

Zhuang Yi asked anxiously.Chu Zheng glanced at him, and he could see the firmness and passion in Chu Zheng's eyes.

"I'm going to look for heavy weapons. I'll meet those "fugitives" by the way."

"This training is mainly about survival in the wild, why do you want to risk yourself?"

"Survival is the foundation. For me, heavy weapons are the task. And I suspect that the "fugitives" are special forces, and I must know them."

Chu Zheng smiled wickedly, Zhuang Yi admired and admired that kind of rebelliousness and bravery.

"I'll go with you."

"No, the future is uncertain, and it may be dangerous. If you follow me, it will be more dangerous than good."

"Then I'm going too. I'm not here to find a place to wait. No matter how dangerous it is, I won't lose my life. At worst, I'll be taken back. Besides, you're here, I believe you."

Zhuang Yi's eyes were bright, Chu Zheng couldn't refuse no matter what, he smiled and nodded.

"Well, tomorrow will be very busy, you can rely on me to sleep for a while, and I will watch the night."

Zhuang Yi nodded,

"Well, but I will be called to guard in the second half of the night, and you also need to rest."

Chu Zheng agreed to him, and Zhuang Yi leaned on his shoulder, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Sure enough, Chu Zheng didn't mean to call him, Zhuang Yi kept hinting in his mind that he would wake up earlier, and it was almost four o'clock when he woke up and looked at his watch.Chu Zheng couldn't beat him, so he had to take a nap for two hours by him.At six o'clock, the sky is already very bright.The two tidied up their belongings, and the clothes on their bodies were blown dry.

"Do you still remember the place where the student was ambushed yesterday?"

Zhuang Yi shook his head, expressing that he had been running in a daze for a whole day, and he had long forgotten the direction.Chu Zheng looked around and decided to take a walk in the densely wooded area.

After walking for a whole morning, except for encountering many wild animals, there were no people there. It was strange to say that even the students and recruits put in a hundred or so people. Although the three mountains are also very large, they are Except for the unlucky guy Zhuang Yi saw, he had never met anyone else.Chu Zheng felt that it was estimated that more than half of the people had been sent back yesterday.The fact is the same. The student party was almost wiped out on the first day, and nearly half of the recruits were killed by the "runaways".

Zhuang Yi sat under the tree and took out the compressed biscuits. Hearing the sound of water, Chu Zheng got up to find a water source to fetch some water. He had just walked out two steps when he heard a gunshot in the distance, followed by another .Chu Zheng immediately got up and pulled Zhuang Yi up to find a hiding place. It happened that there was a large tree trunk lying down diagonally behind. The two ran behind the tree trunk. Chu Zheng observed the front and saw a recruit wearing camouflage with a gun in his hand. Holding a gun, he ran forward quickly, followed by a man in black camouflage pants not far behind. The man in black stood still and raised his gun to aim at the recruit. There was another gunshot, and smoke came out of the recruit.Chu Zheng couldn't see the color of the lights, but the fact that the recruit stopped running meant that he might be "dead".The man in black went over and took away the recruit's gun, and sat down to rest where he was. The recruit looked at him with resentment.

Chu Zheng shrank back, leaned on the tree trunk and sat down side by side with Zhuang Yi, and whispered:

"It's him. I need to take him down and get the map in his hand."

Zhuang Yi didn't make a sound, but used his eyes to understand what he should do.Chu Zheng looked at him with a smile,

"It may be difficult for you."

The "runaway" in black was about to get up when he heard the sound of someone running behind him. He quickly raised his gun and chased after him.Zhuang Yi followed what Chu Zheng said, and ran forward close to the tree trunk, to the same location as he said before, and hid behind a thicker tree trunk, panting heavily. The "fugitive" searched carefully, Zhuang Yi heard his footsteps, his heart beat faster, and when he was about five steps away from Zhuang Yi, Zhuang Yi suddenly fell to the ground in front of him , "The Fugitive" aimed quickly, and as soon as the trigger was pulled, Chu Zheng fell from the sky, the gun missed, and the empty bullet hit the tree trunk, Chu Zheng pressed the "Fugitive" to the ground, and twisted his hand holding the gun , "The fugitive" wanted to struggle and turn over, Chu Zheng quickly put the dagger on the back of his neck, and shot very quickly.

"You are already dead."

Chu Zheng rode on him and said. The "fugitive" felt unwilling, but no longer struggled.Chu Zheng got down from him, the "fugitive" sat up lazily and leaned against the tree trunk, and Zhuang Yi also hurried over at this time.Chu Zheng unceremoniously picked up the two guns of the "fugitive", gave one to Zhuang Yi, and then began to search for things on the "fugitive".A military map, a walkie-talkie, and nothing else.Chu Zheng took these two things, and when he was about to leave with Zhuang Yi, the "runaway" said:

"Little devil, you are not bad."

Chu Zheng looked back at him,

"But you're pretty bad."

After speaking, he dragged Zhuang Yi away without looking back.Going further, Zhuang Yi raised the gun in his hand,

"I wouldn't use this."

"It's okay, at least there is a psychological comfort."

Chu Zheng smiled back at him, and Zhuang Yi regarded it as helping Chu Zheng with a spare.

The two found a place to rest, and Chu Zheng began to study the map. The map was a bit complicated, and Chu Zheng had no idea. Zhuang Yi looked over and pointed to one of the rivers.

"This river, could it be the one that met the beast that night?"

Chu Zheng was surprised, and looked at the direction of the river, all the way to the south, it was indeed the direction they were going.

"You can see that it widens as it goes down, and the water flow slows down as it goes down. Could it be where we landed?"

Chu Zheng suddenly realized that it really made sense, he looked at Zhuang Yi with a smile on his face,

"Yes, my lord."

Zhuang Yi held the gun and smiled,

"How about it? I'm not physically strong and I still have brain power. It's not bad to take me with you."

Chu Zheng laughed,

"I didn't praise you, so I boasted first. Come on, I will ask you to go back after completing the task."

After finding the direction, the two quickly and carefully searched for the river.I found it before dark.Zhuang Yi was frightened by the beast, and reminded Chu Zheng not to go near the river, but Chu Zheng said no, but just followed this direction and searched upstream.On the map, there is a big red dot at the top of the river, which is probably the so-called concentration of heavy weapons.Chu Zheng told Zhuang Yi that it is estimated that the distribution of "fugitives" will become denser as you go up, so you must be careful.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the chirping of various insects came and went.Contrary to what Chu Zheng expected, he didn't see any "fugitives" along the way, and he was very puzzled. Either they were too confident in themselves, or they were tricky.Chu Zheng absolutely believed it was the latter. After thinking twice, Chu Zheng took Zhuang Yi to find a relatively secluded place to rest.

"We'll go there after dark, but not tonight. Let's rest here tonight. I'm going to check the situation tomorrow during the day. Don't move here."

Zhuang Yi nodded. The two of them had nothing to eat. Chu Zheng planned to go around and explore the way. Zhuang Yi wanted to follow, but Chu Zheng didn't agree. After getting up, Chu Zheng seemed to remember something again. He squatted down Looking into Zhuang Yi's eyes, he said seriously:

"Listen to me, no matter tonight or tomorrow, if I haven't come back for a long time, when you judge that I may not come back, don't stay here anymore, go in the direction we came, find a relatively safe place, and try your best. After these days, if you can’t hold on anymore, you can pull the signal flare, it’s just a game, don’t force it.”

Zhuang Yi looked straight into Chu Zheng's eyes, with a serious expression on his face. Chu Zheng was about to get up, but he grabbed his arm suddenly,

"I can't judge, I will always feel that you will come back soon, so you remember that I am waiting for you here, and you must not come back."

Chu Zheng looked at him, his heart pounding inexplicably, he blinked and took a breath.

"it is good."

Watching Chu Zheng's waist go away, Zhuang Yi pressed his chest that also "thumped".
