Chapter 1117: This Female Soldier Is Not Easy To Catch
In addition, the other people carried food with them so they didn’t need to look for food like her. In terms of survival, Ye Jian was on the losing end.
The most important thing was, she doesn’t know that the military will participate in her ‘escape from death’ training and that they even specially sent people!
Ye Jian didn’t have much pressure in her heart as she walked for a day in this huge mountain that was a thousand miles wide. After more than ten hours of walking, she started to prepare dinner.
It wasn’t Summer yet so the temperature on Mount Dalang was a little low. Ye Jian stood in the stream and prepared her dinner for the day… She was going to eat the stone crabs living between the cracks of the stones.
On her first day, as she was walking, she ate some plant roots. They were sweet and juicy. She also tried some tree barks. They were bitter and dry. The fiber was so coarse it cut her throat. She hadn’t eaten any rats or snakes. If she wanted to replenish salt and iron, she needed to eat those.
If this was just an ‘escape from death’ training that didn’t have food, Ye Jian felt that it wasn’t a problem. It was just like outdoor survival. It was much more relaxing than the previous outdoor training.
After eating around ten stone crabs the size of a beer bottle cap, Ye Jian couldn’t eat anymore. Before the sky turned dark, she wiped her traces away and found a place to rest… An unknown tree that grew from the crack of a stone.
She was the only person on the mountain. When the wind blew, the rustling of the leaves could be heard. She climbed on the tree agilely and tied her bag tightly to the tree. Then, she laid on it and had a rest.
The wind was huge. The temperature at 10 pm was much lower. A few dark figures moved towards the south in the dark.
These were the soldiers sent by the military unit of the southern province. One group of them needed to pursue the female soldier closely while the other would move to the front to lay an ambush. If they can’t catch the female soldier within three days, they would go back.
It would be a failure!
If fourteen soldiers weren’t able to catch a female soldier, it was a little embarrassing. However, it was said that the female soldier they were chasing was different from an ordinary female soldier. It was better to not view her as a normal female soldier. They needed to be on their guards.
“Enter from here. The two of you will lay an ambush. Remember to catch her alive!” Dawn just broke and the team of seven soldiers managed to rush ahead of Ye Jian. Their leader started assigning them their jobs. “Wait until the target enters our vision. Don’t be in a hurry. The female soldier is not simple. We need to be careful.”
“Now, we will take two hours of rest. Take turns to guard.”
The leader confirmed the arrangements again and asked his soldiers to remember their positions. Then, he waved his hand and asked everyone to rest for two hours.
Tomorrow, they will arrive in the mountain region at 10 am. Then, they would have to enter the forest and walk for 16 hours. It was 3 am now. They could sleep until 5 am. They needed to replenish their stamina.
The mountain wasn’t quiet at night. The insects kept chirping. However, they weren’t noisy. Instead, they sounded like a lullaby. Ye Jian fell asleep very quickly.
Even with a lullaby, Ye Jian wasn’t able to enter deep sleep. There was no one keeping guard so no matter how safe the environment was, she wouldn’t feel at ease.
Also, she ate raw food for the entire day so she woke up due to hunger at around 2 am. She was already famished. There would always be moments like this for the next few days.
When the sky started getting bright, Ye Jian woke up once again. She scooped some cold stream water to freshen herself up. Under the faint sunlight, Ye Jian looked at her compass and opened her map. She used her pencil to draw on the map as she muttered to herself, “If I walk beside the stream, it’s a little far. If I cut through this part, it’s a little steep…”
