A group of people were transported by a base vehicle to the godforsaken jungle.
The straight line distance from the base was 30 kilometers.
It was very far for the actors!
But for Nan XiangWan, oh, it was just a two hour affair.
Their training content also included survival skills, and they needed to stay in the wilderness for a day.
Nan XiangWan looked at the food in her backpack.
Water and compressed biscuits.
Sun Hui looked up at the sky and said, "There are six hours until dark, how far can you walk?"
Ji Jirou: "I can walk 10 kilometers!"
Sun Hui: "Are you sure?"
Ji Jirou: "Not sure."
Sun Hui: "Today we have to walk at least 10 kilometers, otherwise you'll have to walk 30 kilometers in one go tomorrow?"
Everyone weighed their backpacks and started walking back.
The lush tropical jungle was very dangerous. Apart from mosquitoes and other insects, there were also aggressive wild animals.
At night, there were even snakes!
The group hurried back. Not to mention 10 kilometers, after 3 kilometers they were already exhausted.
Sun Hui: "Get rid of any unnecessary weight."
Tan Shen: "The commander is right, Ji Jirou, your mosquito repellent must be very heavy, right?"
He was smart now, and tried to speak without loopholes.
Sun Hui looked back and said nothing.
Ji Jirou thought about it, then poured mosquito repellent all over herself!
Used it all up!
All over her clothes!
Tan Shen: "Don't litter the empty bottle, no, give it to me, I'll help you carry it back to throw away."
Ji Jirou: "Wow! Thank you Teacher Tan Shen!"
The empty bottle took up space and was also a glass bottle, very heavy.
Ji Jirou was moved on the spot.
As the group moved slowly, Sun Hui led the team very well, and did not encounter any danger.
Gu Beihuai was very quiet all the time, just walking behind Nan XiangWan.
Nan XiangWan was in a bad mood the whole time, irritable.
Until night fell and the sky slowly turned dark.
Sun Hui stopped: "Very good, walked 15 kilometers, much better than before."
The actors all laughed. Progress was good.
Sun Hui began to observe the terrain and surroundings: "There are 13 of us in total. We need to find 13 resting spots as soon as possible to spend a safe night."
It was almost dark, time was tight.
This time the actors were serious too. Last time they only completed half of the cross-country survival, and they hadn't experienced spending the night in the wild jungle yet.
And seeing Sun Hui's solemn expression, apparently the wild nights were very dangerous!
Sun Hui began to look for places using the method of elimination, which places were safer, which places did not have trails of wild animals.
There was reasoning behind it!
Although the actors had come for military training, after all they were not soldiers, safety first.
Nan XiangWan went to find a place on her own. She didn't need Sun Hui's help. She eventually chose a place at the edge.
It was convenient to listen to the surroundings, and could also play a protective role for the inner circle of people.
She was a soldier now...
This time Gu Beihuai did not follow closely behind her, but chose to tidy up his sleeping bag in another direction.
The two of them formed a funnel shape with the other people in the inner circle.
So if there was danger they would be the first to encounter it, and could also rush over first if there was danger in the inner circle.
Nan XiangWan noticed this detail and glanced unexpectedly at Gu Beihuai.
Comrades in arms were comrades in arms! There was chemistry!
After tidying up her sleeping bag, she returned to the center of the inner circle.
Surrounding the inner circle were several sleeping bags scattered around, which were the resting spots for the actors tonight.
As for Sun Hui himself, he was in the opposite direction of Nan XiangWan and Gu Beihuai, another guard post.
The three of them formed a triangle!
Firmly locking the inner circle of people!
As for dinner, it was simple.
But the group still had a strong sense of ritual, insisting on eating together.
Nan XiangWan sat down with compressed biscuits and water.
Zhu Yun: "Sister XiangWan, won't you sleep with us?"
Ji Jirou: "Sister XiangWan! Let's be together!"
Zhu Yun: "Nan XiangWan, can I share a sleeping bag with you?"
Sun Hui scolded: "It's dark, keep your voice down!"
Zhu Yun whispered: "Nan XiangWan, can I, sleep with you?"
Nan XiangWan: "......"
Sun Hui was speechless and explained: "The sleeping bags in the center can't fit anymore. If you want to squeeze in with her then go to the outskirts, and face the tigers, lions and snakes face-to-face."
Zhu Yun shut up immediately!
As the group ate compressed biscuits and chatted for a while.
Tan Shen's lips were so dry they were peeling, but he still held out his water bottle.
Tan Shen: "Ji Jirou, your water bottle is empty, right?"
Ji Jirou blushed: "Yes, I was so thirsty this afternoon."
Tan Shen: "It's okay, you can have mine."
Ji Jirou: "Really Teacher Tan Shen, you haven't had a sip!"
Tan Shen smiled: "It's okay, we'll be back tomorrow right! I can endure it, no problem!"
Ji Jirou: “Thank you Teacher Tan Shen! You are so nice!"
Tan Shen didn't say anything more, just smiled.
When it got completely dark, Sun Hui urged everyone to get into their sleeping bags and rest early, and set off again at 4am the next morning!
It was truly bitter work, and truly scary too.
The darkness of the wild jungle was completely different from the city. It was pitch black.
The stars and moon were all blocked by the tall tree leaves overhead.
Not a shred of light!
Nan XiangWan got up and returned to her resting spot.
As always she tied her sleeping bag to a tree, propping it up with branches.
Although it was dark, her vision and hearing were both superb, it didn't affect her at all.
She had only taken two steps when Nan XiangWan stopped and looked back.
At this moment Gu Beihuai was walking in the other direction with his eyes open. His walking speed was not slow either.
He avoided the tree trunks in front of him.
But he stepped right onto a tree branch and clearly muddy spot below!
Nan XiangWan was somewhat surprised. Could Gu Beihuai not see anything at all?
Night blindness or...
With strange thoughts, Nan XiangWan returned to her sleeping bag.
She crawled in and looked up at the pitch blackness overhead.
Go to sleep, go to sleep!
In the middle of the night, she didn't know what time.
Ji Jirou tossed and turned, wanting to cry.
Damn it! Drank too much water!
She really couldn't hold it in now!
But it was so dark outside, everyone was asleep, and she was afraid.
Listening to the breathing sounds of those around her, Ji Jirou regretted it intensely. She should have endured.
After holding for another ten minutes, she really couldn't hold it any longer.
Ji Jirou carefully crawled up and fearfully looked around.
Pitch black!
She could only turn on her flashlight to light the way.
Ji Jirou had no choice but to not relieve herself on the spot. All around were the sleeping bags of the male actors, and she didn't dare call out loudly for Commander Sun Hui to stand guard for her.
She remembered Nan XiangWan seemed to be in that direction...
Groping over carefully, avoiding the crowded areas, she found a hole, and put her flashlight on the ground.
The beam of the flashlight was very bright, giving her a shred of security.
Hmm! She must hurry up and relieve herself, and leave after peeing!
But Ji Jirou did not know that the moment she crawled up, a pair of eyes in the darkness opened.
Tan Shen was not asleep at all. He had been waiting for this moment!
