Chapter 217 Mutation
"What? The mountain road collapsed?"

Huang Bin and Ding Jiqun's expressions instantly became serious.

Jiang Defu was just stunned for a moment, and then he accepted the reality. It had been raining continuously for so many days. Although the rain was light and did not cause a terrible flash flood, it was normal for the mountain road to collapse.

"After passing this section of road, there are four trails ahead to reach the destination. What should I do now?"

Huang Bin was extremely worried.

To be honest, he didn't have much hope for winning at first. It sounds like he just had a soy sauce mentality.

But as they marched for these days, their company moved forward in an orderly manner. Although it was always in third place, no one was left behind. Except for someone who accidentally scratched or bumped on the road, they basically had minor injuries and were all injured. With timely treatment and medication, there were basically no major problems.

Compared with the previous two teams, although they were moving faster, they had already begun to fall behind.

In terms of diet, although they ate a lot of wild vegetables and less porridge and rice at the beginning, they were basically full. During these days, eating porridge and rice without wild vegetables even felt a bit tasteless.

And I heard that the first two companies used more food than they did, and in order to ensure the next food demand, they had used food in batches, that is, some people had a full meal, and the other people drank gruel. Rotate again the next day.

As for the stragglers, they were given less food. Although there were no protests, some people who met the stragglers on the road seemed to be dissatisfied.

After looking at the opponent's situation, Jiang Defu and his company have begun to have full morale these days, and are preparing to surpass the two companies in front of them as soon as possible. Even if they cannot surpass the first one, they still have some confidence in the second place.

But there was a landslide on the road, which seemed to change each other's itinerary.

"Old Ginger!"

Ding Jiqun couldn't help but worry when he saw Jiang Defu's serious face.

Although it is a training session in a relatively safe era, in this deep mountain, if you encounter such dangerous weather and terrain, it is normal for people to lose their lives if you don't handle it well.

In the past, during wars, large-scale casualties during rapid marches were commonplace, and this could not help but make people worry.

"set off!"

Jiang Defu gave the order and the team quickly set off on the road.

There is only one road in this section. If you don’t go forward to find a new way out, there is no other way out. And now it is basically halfway up the mountain, with no villages or shops in front or behind. If there is not enough food, once it is exhausted, it will affect a large area. Human life safety issues.

Although the so-called safety preparations were made by the higher authorities for this training, that is, if they really ran out of ammunition and food, they would send out a distress signal and send helicopters to drop relief food.

It’s just that the weather is like this, with continuous light rain and low visibility. Even if it is launched, the accuracy is problematic, and the entire situation today is poor!This kind of relief strategy equipment is difficult to use unless it is a last resort.

Also, once you call for help, it will definitely mean that there is a large-scale personnel problem and the training fails, and you will be held accountable, and the future...

After traveling for about a day, we finally reached the landslide section. It was as serious as said. The entire road had been blocked by landslides and rocks, and about two kilometers ahead had turned into a river. It was no longer possible to pass through here. Reality.

"Defu, Wang Zhenbiao and Guan Yunpeng have already led people to find a new section of road and have set off!"

Huang Bin came over and said.

On the collapsed section of the road, I met a dozen stragglers, most of whom were injured or sick. After asking, I learned about the situation.

"They are losing their car to save their handsome man!"

Old Ding came over and said.

An important aspect of the training assessment is the overall team ability. Therefore, even if someone is injured and falls behind, someone will usually be sent to take care of these people. If the injury is better, they can catch up with the main force.

Therefore, even if the large troops in front are marching, they will stop at a certain place. In addition to resting and recuperating, they also wait for the stragglers in the rear to catch up.

Now that the road ahead has collapsed, Wang Zhenbiao and his large troops did not stay, but directly looked for a new road, making it easy to lose contact with the stragglers behind.

This move clearly shows that they don't care much about the stragglers in the rear.

Although there is a logistics support team above, a team with logistics supplies will be sent from the rear to follow in order to take in stragglers who cannot catch up with the team at all and avoid danger.

However, the support team will start very late and move very slowly, in order to allow the stragglers to catch up with the main force as much as possible.

Once the stragglers are taken in, it is equivalent to giving up the training competition, and the head coach will also deduct points.

This is why Jiang Defu did not stay for a long time, although he would help treat some stragglers along the way to avoid putting their lives in danger.

They also had insufficient food and stayed too long, which was detrimental to both parties.

Jiang Defu looked at the sky, which became gloomy again. It seemed that the rain was not over yet.

Wang Zhenbiao and Guan Yunpeng probably considered that staying in this situation was useless, so they simply took the people on the road.

They obviously realize that it will only get harder and harder in the future. If they consider the laggards, they will be too big to lose, and each other will be implicated.

"Old Jiang, it will be difficult for us to catch up with them if we do this!"

Din Jiqun looked at the sky and said worriedly.

Previously, when they saw stragglers on their way, everyone was very excited and thought they could catch up with them. Now their strategy is to move forward headlong, in order to catch up...

And they don’t have any stragglers now, but that doesn’t mean they can continue to persevere in the future. After all, there is only so much food, and there are fewer people eating, but none of them are left behind, so there must be more people eating. It looks perfect, but it is often a burden...

According to this situation, after struggling to the end, maybe I will still be the last one!
Lao Ding's excitement two days ago is now as deflated as a rubber ball!
The team and crowd also started talking.

They are all "veterans" and naturally understand the situation.

A few soldiers who had their arms bandaged for injuries on the road were also nervous. They were afraid that they would be separated from the main force to support the food burden. Some of the soldiers who were in relatively poor physical condition were also worried about being rescued to take care of those with injured arms.

After all, we have come so far, and no one wants to be left behind and fall short!
There is also the situation in the mountains today. Although there may be a rescue team in the future, the rescue conditions in this era, even if there is a so-called rescue team, cannot be guaranteed to be complete.

Without food, the next step is to starve. We are resigned to our fate. How can we not be afraid?
Many people looked at Jiang Defu with worry!
"Keep going!"

Jiang Defu didn't say too much. For this purpose, he could only move forward without retreating.

"set off!"

"set off!"

Waves of loud shouts resounded through the forest.

There were several mountain trails that bypassed the landslide section. Jiang Defu and the others could only follow the direction of the compass and move forward.

The mountain forest trails that had rained were muddy, and they could only use long trekking poles to find the way before continuing.

Everyone feels a little heavy!

After walking for another two days, it started to rain again, and we did not encounter the team of Wang Zhenbiao and Guan Yunpeng. There were no traces of people walking on the road they walked. They obviously took different paths.

"Defu, there won't be any problems along the way, right?"

Huang Bin was a little worried.

"Look at the compass, the direction should be correct!"

Jiang Defu handed the pocket watch to Huang Bin. After Huang Bin looked at it carefully, he felt at ease.

They found an open place on the mountainside and set up camp.

After walking for several days, everyone was very tired. Two people fell and injured their legs. The injured soldier looked very pale. Jiang Defu checked the injury with the health worker and found that it was not serious.

Although the hygienists were staffed by higher-ups, they were just new students and only knew some basic medical knowledge.However, there is a shortage of medicines in this era. Even if you have medical knowledge, myrrh is useless. The so-called hygienists only perform emergency bandages.

"Captain Jiang, this hemostatic medicine of yours is really powerful. It heals very quickly!"

The health worker took the medicine given by Jiang Defu and said excitedly.

"It's good to use it!"

Jiang Defu said quietly.

They are common hemostatic drugs in previous lives, and they are also available in this era, but the purity is not so high, and there are regional differences. In the final analysis, most of the time medical treatment is based on the so-called local folk prescriptions, and illness basically depends on God.

He was not worried about the injured, but about the weather getting colder.

Entering the mountains, the weather is getting colder and colder, especially in the morning and evening, and now they have put on cotton-padded jackets.

The people who complained about too much luggage and equipment at the foot of the mountain now have no objections. They are all glad to have brought cotton-padded jackets and shoes.

"Snowing!"

"Snowing!"

someone shouted.

Jiang Defu looked up and found that there were indeed falling snowflakes in the sky.

"Damn, it's really snowing!"

Huang Bin couldn't help but curse.

During their previous discussion, they had wondered if it would snow as it got colder and colder in the mountains, but now it actually started to snow.

"Defu, what should I do? It's snowing, and the road conditions are even worse! Do you really want to stop?"

Lao Ding is a little worried. If this continues, he wonders what will happen next!If they want to follow his idea, they should continue marching. After all, based on their understanding of those two companies, they shouldn't stop.

"Start the fire and cook! Continue to repair!"

Jiang Defu thought for a moment and gave the order directly.

They had been traveling in a hurry for three days. If they didn't rest and the weather was still so cold, people would easily get sick and tired.

Nowadays, they no longer have so-called specialized cooking classes, and each platoon assigns people to take turns cooking.

Everyone has mastered the skills of cooking. First, they buried a pot and boiled a few large pots of water. Today, there were ginger slices in the water. Many people were a little surprised, but their Captain Jiang always did things unexpectedly. He had all kinds of medicines and so on. I have solved many difficulties on the road, and I am not surprised to drink ginger soup now.

Everyone drank several large bowls of ginger soup, and their bodies felt warm and not so cold anymore.

The food is still porridge with wild vegetables and whole grains. Although it is much thinner than before, according to the current situation of other teams, it is already a luxury to have such porridge.

After dinner, another platoon was responsible for boiling several pots of water. Everyone used hot water to boil their feet. This can promote blood circulation. For those who had foot soaks, several newly trained bathroom workers also helped to break out the foot soaks. What else could they use? Disinfect things with alcohol.

Although it was snowing in the mountains, fortunately the roads here were not too muddy. I found a lot of dry firewood. After burning it, I set up a tent to rest again and lit a bonfire to keep warm.

"Old Jiang, there is a wooden board here. You can sleep on this! It can prevent moisture!"

Huang Bin found a few wooden boards from somewhere, and several people used them as bed boards to spread quilts and rest.

"Why do you still have these things?"

Jiang Defu was surprised. It was not easy to find such a thing in this barren mountain.

"I didn't know who was there before, so I kicked some wooden boards and brought them over."

Huang Bin explained.

When it gets dark, you can't see your fingers, and sleeping on a wooden board is definitely a very good condition for a team that is marching in a hurry.

These days, although Jiang Defu has persisted and has adapted to the current life, at the beginning, he actually didn't scold his mother less, lamenting that his life was miserable, and that he was here to suffer in this age of indifference.

However, people are definitely a very adaptable team. After more than ten days, he is now a person who is happy to see that he can sleep on the wooden board.

Although he has a so-called system that can help him, with so many eyes staring at him, there is no time for him to be alone. If he suddenly does something, the big guys may regard him as a monster. When the time comes, let him get there. The Psychiatric Institute is no fun!
Even for those so-called medicines, he also changed some broken bottles and bags and repackaged them before he dared to take them out. This aroused everyone's surprise. Fortunately, those things were not too conspicuous and everyone needed them, so it did not cause too much confusion. A long period of doubt.

Jiang Defu also thought about getting some food out of the system, but it didn't feel realistic until he got here. The most precious thing for them now is food. There are specially rotated personnel to take care of the food. Everyone values ​​food more important than life. , wishing that he could clearly count the number of pills, and he had no chance to increase them.

As for cooking, there were many people watching.

We stopped to cook every day, and everyone was hungry. It was said that the cooking class was rotating, but it was true that there were many people around when the actual cooking was done. Everyone actively helped. I was very hungry and wanted to smell the aroma of the food in advance. It is even more unrealistic to add some rice to your meal.

As for sleeping at night, Huang Bin and Ding Jiqun all slept next to Jiang Defu, as well as the on-duty staff. If anyone tried to eat something, someone would know about it soon.

Jiang Defu is now completely dressed in brocade and walking at night, unable to perform at all.

Although his physical condition was not ordinary, he was still a little tired after so many days. He fell asleep clinging to the quilt at night and couldn't think about that much at all.

Jiang Defu was awakened by the whistle. When he woke up, he found that it was white outside and it had snowed all night!
Fortunately, it has stopped now. It is not deep, but it has reached the level of the ankle.

Soldiers were already collecting dry firewood to light the fire, and cooking had begun on the stove.

"Company commander, today..."

The messenger came over and asked about today's arrangements. Because it snowed yesterday, we only had to rest and the next arrangements were not explained.

"Continue to rest!"

Jiang Defu said directly.

"Continue to rest!"

"Continue to rest!"

Soon the call spread.

Many people were happy. After traveling for such a long time, it was definitely a joy to be able to stop and rest for a day or two.

When they first set out, many people have a strong desire to win, but when they are tired to a certain extent, more people want to rest.

"Old Jiang, do you still need to rest?"

Huang Bin came over and asked.

"The snow is a bit deep, and the road ahead is unclear. It's not going to snow now, so we might as well repair it first. We're all exhausted!"

Jiang Defu explained.

There is another important reason, he wants to say.

"Old Jiang, holy shit, how can we sleep up here?"

Before Jiang Defu could say anything, Old Ding shouted.
