Early the next morning, we broke camp and conducted a rigorous search for the place we accidentally discovered yesterday, hoping that there was really water there, otherwise, our hard work would be in vain.
"I seem to hear the sound of water!" Xiaowei shouted.
Of course, I believe her words, because for a natural scout, these are nothing, not to mention Xiaowei's abilities are more than these.
"Let's keep walking, I believe we can't go wrong here!"
I don’t know how many meters we walked forward, but we finally stood on the bank of the river. This was a small river that meandered into the distance.
"Look, the water in this river is so clear!" Muzi happily ran to the river, picked up a handful of water, and took a swig.
"This water is really sweet! Hey, come on!"
The comrades ran to the river one after another, holding water in their hands and drinking heavily.
"Yes! I didn't expect that there is such sweet water in the deep mountains and wild forests! Xiaomi, come and try it!"
Reflecting on Yao Chi's words, I ran over happily and just picked up a handful of water. Before I could drink it, Muzi knocked it away.
"Muzi, I just picked up a handful of water and haven't had a chance to drink it yet. What are you doing!" I glared at Muzi dissatisfied.
"No! Xiaomi, look! What is that?"
Looking in the direction Muzi pointed, I found a large area of red and black trees there, which was different from the bushes here.
"It looks like a kind of tree, but I can't remember the name!"
"Let's go! Go and have a look!"
A group of us rushed towards the place pointed by Muzi. After we arrived, I discovered that this was indeed not an ordinary shrub, but a kind of tree.
"Xiaomi, do you know what this is?" Xia Xia asked.
"Of course, this is a kind of tree, and the fruit it bears is called mulberry."
"Mulberry? Can you eat it?"
"Of course you can eat it! And mulberries are very nutritious! They can also cure dizziness! I just don't know why there is such a tree here..."
"That's great, we were worried about not being able to find food! Today, we found food and water. It seems that we have hope for survival this time!"
"Come, let's free up two bags and pick all these mulberries. In the past few days, we will eat these first and save the rations that can be stored for last."
"Okay, come..."
"Yue Ting, Chu Qiao, you..., well, we don't have any utensils, how can we hold water!"
"Yes!" Yao Chi and Xiao Wei both looked at me pitifully.
Yes, here we are, apart from our luggage and equipment, we don’t even have anything to hold water. It’s really pitiful.
"So..." I looked around: "Which of you has a clean hat?"
"They are not even clean. They should have been dirty after wearing them for so many days. Xiaomi is smart, so we should wash the hats too!"
"That's not what I'm talking about! I'm just asking, who among the eight of you has the cleanest hat!" Xiaowei's words made me so angry that I almost vomited blood.
"Use mine. I have hardly worn my hat these days..."
As a result, I glanced at the hat in Xia Xia's hand: "Who else has it?"
"Xiaomi, how do we define whether a hat is dirty or not?"
Wen He asked a question.
"Anyone who has worn a hat for less than three days, give it to me!"
"Mine is for you!"
"And mine~"
Taking the hat from Jiang Wan and Yao Chi, I handed it to Yue Ting and Chu Qiao.
"Go over there, find some big leaves, put them in the hat, then wrap a layer of leaves on the outside of the hat, and use this to hold water."
"No, use this...?"
I rolled my eyes at Xiaowei: "If you want to die of thirst, you don't have to drink. Whatever."
"Okay then..." Xiaowei agreed aggrievedly: "Let's go, I'll go fill the water with you."
Staring at the computer and looking at the information displayed on the computer, Mi Lan smiled sinisterly.
"Captain, they drank." Wu Cheng said.
"It's not enough..." Mi Lan said lightly.
"We put a lot of phenolphthalein in this water. I believe they drank enough..." Wu Cheng couldn't bear it. In doing so, he was too cruel to the female soldiers.
"Is this considered cruel? They just drank a few sips of water..." Mi Lan counterattacked.
"But Captain..."
"Okay, you just need to follow the order. No need to ask about anything else." Mi Lan walked around the table and sat down.
Looking at the captain's stern face, Wu Cheng began to worry. This was the second round of assessment, and the captain was so cruel. How could they hold on until the end? Considering the time, they might not be able to sustain much food.
Oh my god...
"Everything is ready. The first team of attacks will officially start at eight o'clock in the evening..."
"Very good. Calculating the time, they should have already reacted. Take this time and catch them by surprise when they are at their weakest due to stomach upset. I want to see if these female soldiers can persist."
"But Captain, Xiaomi, I am your daughter. You are like this..." Wu Cheng subconsciously closed his mouth.
"I said that there are no daughters in the mission, only soldiers! So this time, she Tang Xiaomi is just my soldier..."
The conspiracy is slowly spreading, and danger is coming.
"Xiaomi, you haven't drank water yet, I left some water for you..."
I smiled sweetly: "Thank you Muzi! You are so kind!"
But when I took the water, before I could take a sip, I heard Yao Chi whimpering and cursing.
I hurried over and supported Yao Chi, who looked in pain: "Yao Chi! Yao Chi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Yao Chi!"
"Yao Chi! What's the matter?"
Everyone was in a panic.
"I..., I have a stomachache!" Yao Chi replied with a bitter face.
"Stomachache? Why do you have stomachache?!"
"Could it be that I drank too much raw water?" Xia Xia asked anxiously.
"Maybe! Oops~ I can't, I...I need to go to the toilet!" Yao Chi suddenly jumped up and was about to rush out.
"Yao Chi!" I quickly grabbed her.
"Oh, Xiaomi, don't pull me, I need to go to the toilet!" Yao Chi struggled to break free from my hand.
I don’t know if he was infected by going to the toilet or something. When they saw Yao Chi going out, everyone held their stomachs in pain.
"Hey, you...what's wrong with you? Is it possible that you are all infected?!"
"No? I want to go too!"
"I am coming too!"
"And I!"
Seeing your comrades running out of the tent and running towards the woods, I scratched my head depressedly: "What's going on? It must not be a collective poisoning! It shouldn't be, how could this be happening in this deep mountain and wild ridge?"
Is anyone coming?"
I sat in front of the tent depressedly, and finally saw these girls at 2:38.
One by one, they came back tired and miserable, clutching their stomachs. Before they could sit down, I said: "I'll choke you, why are you so fierce! You went to the toilet for nearly half an hour!"
