A group of tired soldiers gathered at the entrance of the camp, reluctantly forming a horizontal line. Everyone was sweating and panting. At the entrance of the camp, soldiers carrying backpacks ran in from time to time, panting and standing at the end of the line. The leader stood in front of the line, one by one.
Record the ranking
"Okay, these bear soldiers can really run!" The major stood at the window, holding a sniper rifle and scanning the young and tired faces one by one with the scope.
Suddenly, a soldier trembled violently, his face became frightened, and he even ducked down in the middle of the team.
"Huh?" The scope that the major had just slid over was put on the soldier again. The soldier who had just settled down became uneasy again and kept looking left and right. Then, the soldier in the scope stopped looking left and right, straightened his body and looked serious.
Facing forward on the ground, a lieutenant was standing in front of him and yelling something. After the scolding, the soldier stood straighter, but his doubtful eyes were cast to this side, and his eyes seemed to be looking at the major through the scope.
"Old Xu," the major continued to look at the soldier and asked the people around him: "What is the seventh one called?"
Lao Xu picked up the telescope and looked at it: "Oh, Zhou Jiping, he has a high school degree. It is said that he has been admitted to a prestigious university, but his father is sick and the family has no money for him to attend. He is from the Tiger Regiment and has only been in the army for more than a year."
"Interesting, I've picked up a treasure!" The major's chin trembled with excitement.
The team was formed. Zhou Jiping followed the team's turn and hurriedly glanced at the dormitory building. He felt that there was a source of danger, but he couldn't explain why.
It was daylight. Zhou Jiping woke up and stretched himself comfortably. Since the hyenas were driven away last night, the grassland was much quieter, which allowed him to have a good sleep.
Leaning on the tree bed and looking around, the morning sun shines softly on the withered grassland. There is a slight hint of moisture in the air. Soon, this moisture will no longer be there, and the land will soon evaporate during the dry season.
Due to the moisture on the grassland, many animals in the grassland family cannot wait until the next rainy season.
While admiring the scenery of the grassland, while adjusting his mind and regaining his strength, Zhou Jiping ate a small piece of dry food and did not dare to eat too much. He didn't know what would happen in the future. It is always better to save on eating. After eating, he tidied up.
Collect your belongings, put on your leggings again, and jump down from the tree. The tree is full of traces left by hyenas. It seems that there were a lot of hyenas last night.
"Don't look for trouble, everyone will be better off," Zhou Jiping muttered, replenishing water from the acacia tree, and then raked the grass and walked south.
Along the way, Zhou Jiping tried his best to walk in places with shallow grass. Although the speed was slower, the safety factor was higher. Even if he walked in places with shallow grass, he basically had to walk through about 20 centimeters of grass, and he had to be careful.
Observe the fierce beasts on the grassland. You will definitely not be able to walk too far in one day. After walking south for more than an hour, the grassland appears more open. Wildebeest, zebra, and antelope are scattered on the grassland, eating grass leisurely.
At this time, there are still many animals on the grassland. I heard that most of the herbivores will migrate to the north at the end of May, and then there will not be so many wildebeests and antelopes on the grassland.
In fact, it feels quite good. While admiring the scenery of the East African savannah, I see that there are not so many animals in the zoo - I am just a little hungry and need to get something to eat, Zhou Jiping thought leisurely.
As if sensing Zhou Jiping's thoughts, suddenly, something that could be used as food stood in front of his eyes - an African cobra!
Zhou Jiping was startled by the sudden change. His right hand had already touched the holster of the gun. When he saw it was a snake, he immediately relaxed. This is purely a delicacy brought to his door. The cane in his left hand was just about to sweep towards the cobra's neck.
, suddenly saw the cobra's body shrink back - "Not good"! The instinctive reaction made Zhou Jiping roll out directly holding the cane - "Bah -"
Zhou Jiping held his head and just stood up from the other side, when a stream of transparent liquid spilled on the place where he had just stood.
"It's so dangerous." Zhou Jiping sighed secretly, threw his backpack towards the snake with his right hand, and then carefully approached it with his walking stick. The snake had just crawled out from under the bag, and the duck's mouth of the walking stick was already pressed to death by seven inches.
Ignoring picking up my backpack, I waved my cane and walked around again. I checked my body carefully to see that there was nothing abnormal. Then I calmly picked up the dead snake.
It's delicious, but it almost killed Zhou Jiping. It seems that he is still unfamiliar with the African grassland. I have eaten this thing more than once during camping training in China, but I have never encountered one that can spray poison. This time it opened my eyes.
If I hadn’t heard someone mention it before and if I reacted quickly enough, I would have ended up in Africa long ago!
Looking back on my experience of escaping, I have been in danger many times. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have probably died three times. I have to be extra careful. This is Africa after all, an unexplored and wild continent. If you are not careful, you will not be able to return home.
Got it
Luck, it’s so hard that I was finally favored by luck?
I picked up the snake and looked at it. It was quite heavy. The length was almost as high as my own side. I pulled out my M9 and cut off the snake's head with a knife. The snake had such strong vitality that it almost caught up with me. I once heard of dead snakes being stored in the refrigerator.
If the snake is bitten to death, the snake's venom glands are in the throat and neck. The snake's mouth and teeth should be venomous. As long as the head is cut off, the rest will be delicious. But now we don't have time to enjoy the snake meat.
, while it is still early in the day and the temperature is not high, it is better to walk for a while.
Zhou Jiping made another mistake, but the consequences will only be seen later
Zhou Jiping became more careful when he started walking again. After walking for more than half an hour, he felt something was wrong again.
The whole grassland seemed to be quiet. To be precise, it was quiet with itself as the center. It felt like there was always a pair of eyes peering at him in the dark. Captain Dog said that he had a sixth sense, and if he used it well, he could put it to great use. This was why Captain Dog was special.
The reason for fancying himself But now, Zhou Jiping always feels a sense of insecurity
I stopped and looked around. In the distance, about 400 meters away, there was a small group of antelopes. Some were eating grass, and some were looking at me. There was nothing unusual elsewhere. Looking at the antelopes, almost most of them were looking at them.
Looking at myself, this is a bit different from the situation when I passed by some herbivorous animals just now. Those animals didn't care at all when they were this distance from me. At most, they looked at it curiously and then continued to eat grass.
Following the direction of the antelope group's attention, Zhou Jiping finally saw a few round ears in the swaying grass more than two hundred meters to the right - hyenas!
