Chapter 141: Inhuman Training (2)

~11 min read 2,176 words

A faint doubt flashed in the soldiers' eyes, waiting silently for the important thing in Gu Yun's mouth.

Gu Yun's lips raised slightly, and her tone was exceptionally gentle, "Without fire, you might be able to live for seven or eight days. Walking in the rainforest consumes a lot of energy every day. Without food, I estimate that you will be exhausted and die in three or four days. So I think the most important lesson today is to teach you what can be eaten in the rainforest."

Eat?! Liu Xing's goosebumps stood up all over his body. The Chief wouldn't want them to eat the things in the cloth bag, right?! Don't!

Leng Xiao obviously thought of it too, and his face was obviously not right.

"Leng Xiao." Gu Yun gave him a look. Leng Xiao walked to the cloth bag knowingly, untied the bag, and poured everything inside out with a crash.

For a time, snakes were scurrying and maggots were crawling in the grass, and a pile of corpses piled up on the ground. Yes, a pile of corpses. Long and short, colorful snakes, as well as frogs and termites. Some were dead, some were still alive. The most disgusting thing was not these, but white wriggling worms as thick as index fingers. The fat bodies were wriggling and twisting little by little, making people feel inexplicably itchy and cold. Even the so-called elites who had seen a lot of the world couldn't help but frown. The younger new recruits couldn't help but gasp.

Mu Yi, who was standing in front of the team, had cold phoenix eyes and retreated a few steps in disgust. He liked cleanliness all his life and didn't want to get too close to these disgusting things.

Su Ling and Su Ren looked at each other, and they didn't quite understand what she was doing. They both looked coldly and didn't move.

The reaction of surprise and disgust of the crowd was very satisfactory to Gu Yun. Squatting down and grabbing a living rain frog, Gu Yun said neither lightly nor heavily, "It's very rich, isn't it? There is food everywhere in the rainforest, it depends on whether you dare to eat it and whether you can eat it."

Eat? The soldiers finally heard the implication, and their faces changed. She wanted them to eat these disgusting things?!

Gu Yun took out a small dagger from her waist, slid it gently at the lower jaw of the rain frog, peeled off a gap, and deftly removed the frog skin. Her technique was very fast, and the skinned rain frog was still moving constantly. Gu Yun looked up and walked to a soldier in the first row who revealed a firm spirit in his eyebrows, and sent the rain frog to him, laughing, "The skin of the rain frog cannot be eaten, but the meat is a very good food."

Not taking the rain frog, the soldier named Luo Yan had cold black eyes. He met Gu Yun's smiling eyes, and Gu Yun laughed, "Don't like frogs? Snakes and termites are also good food, you can choose one."

Gu Yun's slightly teasing words made Luo Yan even more dissatisfied. He looked at Gu Yun coldly, and a breath was stuck in his throat, but the strict military discipline made him unable to say a word at this time.

Gu Yun was always good at observing micro-expressions. Even if he didn't speak, she already knew what he was thinking. At this time, she needed him to say it. Gu Yun said loudly, "What do you want to say? Say it."

Getting Gu Yun's permission, Luo Yan said coldly without any concealment, "We can bring dry food into the forest. Even if the dry food is eaten, there must be many fruits in the forest. Why eat this kind of thing? Military orders dare not be violated. Even if Madam tells this subordinate to swallow poison today, this subordinate will not hesitate. You don't have to test and humiliate us like this."

Gu Yun slowly lowered the smile on her face. Her eyes swept over the faces that were all full of resentment. Her slightly raised voice carried a bit of helplessness and a bit of disappointment, "You think I let you eat these things to intimidate and rectify you, so as to establish my own prestige?"

No one dared to answer this question, and Gu Yun was not annoyed. She explained calmly, "Dry food brought into the rainforest will become moldy and damp without long. Even if you bring more dry food in, you will face the fact of running out of food in three days. As for the plant fruits you mentioned, I advise you not to eat them. You can't distinguish which plants can be eaten and which cannot. Most of the fruits in the rainforest are slightly toxic and are not suitable for consumption. Most importantly, eating plant fruits alone will make you gradually powerless and lose your combat effectiveness. For combat effectiveness, eating a frog is more useful than eating ten fruits."

Liu Xing frowned secretly. The Chief shouldn't be reacting like this! People who questioned her never had good fruit to eat. He had suffered that bitterness, painful and unbearable!

Gu Yun spread the dead rain frog in her palm and asked loudly, "Do you think this kind of thing can't be eaten?"

Nonsense, who wants to eat this kind of thing? Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back. If you have the ability, eat it yourself...

Luo Yan was still slandering in his heart, but the next moment, he, who was always calm and self-controlled, couldn't help but open his eyes wide in surprise!

She... she she... she actually...

Not only Luo Yan was dumbfounded, but everyone else stared at Gu Yun in surprise. Even Su Ling and Mu Yi were stunned for a moment.

In front of the team, Gu Yun stood there silently, took the rain frog in her hand to her mouth, bit it down, chewed it, and there was no expression on her face, nor was there any pain.

In the eyes of everyone's horror or exploration or admiration or surprise, Gu Yun swallowed what was in her mouth before opening her mouth again, "I lived in the rainforest for a month by eating this kind of thing that you think cannot be eaten, and finally walked out alive. The horror and damp cold of the rainforest are things I will never forget in my life. You and I only have five days. I won't mention tactics and strategies, I will only tell you how to survive in this rainforest that can swallow you at any time. If you think I am humiliating you, you can leave."

The clear voice was not particularly impassioned, but it echoed in the quiet forest, as if it would not dissipate for a long time.

There were fluctuations in the hearts of the army, but no one dared to show it. In the silence, Leng Xiao just took a step, and the man who was "dissatisfied" with Gu Yun just now was actually faster than him. He walked to the pile of terrifying corpses and picked up a fat worm without hesitation and put it in his mouth...

The yellow-green internal organs sprayed out with chewing, and the juice fell along the corners of his mouth. Although Luo Yan tried his best to control it, his body still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He actually chose a worm. This is not something ordinary people dare to choose! Gu Yun's cherry lips raised slightly, secretly praising, this person is a man of temperament!

Behind Luo Yan was Leng Xiao. Leng Xiao grabbed a small snake, peeled off the snake skin, and took a bite.

Someone took the lead. Regardless of whether they sincerely admired Gu Yun or were forced to do so, all the soldiers ate a bite or two. Only then did Gu Yun finally shout loudly, "Enough. It is best to eat this kind of thing after roasting it with fire. There is no need to eat it raw unless it is a last resort. I will teach you how to start a fire now."

"Yes." All the soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief. It was good that she didn't have a stranger training method in the next step.

Gu Yun's words almost made Mu Yi laugh out loud. Since it is best not to eat raw, she still forced the soldiers to eat it?! This slap in the face was ruthless, this woman... really...

The first day of training made everyone unforgettable for a lifetime. Even more than ten years later, when talking about the experience of this day, the soldiers couldn't help but complain and almost vomit.

Night.

The night sky was light and breezy, and the clear light of the crescent moon gently covered the spacious open space in front of the camp. Under the soft moonlight, a cold dark shadow stood there alone, and the thin figure was elongated by the moonlight, casting a thin shadow.

Far away, Su Ling stared coldly at the woman who had been standing there since returning from the dense forest. His black eyes darkened, he stepped forward, stopped behind Gu Yun, and asked in a low, unperfunctory male voice, "Are what you said this afternoon true?"

Gu Yun didn't look back and replied indifferently, "Which sentence?" She said so many words this afternoon, how did she know which one he was talking about?

"Why did you live in the forest for a month?" For some reason, he actually believed what she said. Although she deliberately suppressed her emotions when she talked about being trapped in the rainforest this afternoon, he still saw waves in those clear, cold eyes.

Gu Yun's back stiffened. After a long time, she replied in a deep voice, "I am not in the mood to explain today." Being in the rainforest this afternoon had already evoked too many memories for her. It seemed that she was getting further and further away from the era she was familiar with. She missed the city where she had lived for more than twenty years, missed her parents, missed the teammates who fought side by side with her, she... wanted to go back.

Su Ling was by her side, she should have asked him about the Golden Bagua Disk, but she only felt tired and weary now, and didn't want to fight with him anymore.

Gu Yun turned and left silently. Su Ling was not used to her like this, always feeling that her always high-spirited back was inexplicably filled with sadness.

"Qing Mo." Su Ling didn't understand what he wanted to say, but he had already opened his mouth.

Gu Yun paused, looking at the man who was facing away from the moonlight and couldn't see his expression. He rarely took the initiative to call her. Why did he come tonight?

Facing Gu Yun's puzzled eyes, Su Ling didn't know what to say to her. Fortunately, the night was hazy, and she should not be able to see the awkwardness and embarrassment on his face. After a long time, Gu Yun was already impatient, and Su Ling suddenly said, "You just stay in the camp to train soldiers tomorrow, no need to go to Crow Gorge with the army."

She almost forgot about rescuing Han Shu tomorrow. Gu Yun asked, "When will you set off?"

Su Ling's sword brows furrowed, and he replied coldly and domineeringly, "You don't need to know."

Gu Yun insisted on asking, "When will you set off?"

Su Ling simply didn't answer her, leaving Gu Yun with only a cold and arrogant profile.

This man is really arrogant and annoying! He didn't say it, she could ask someone else! Gu Yun's smart eyes flickered, she smiled cunningly, and sighed, "I just want to see the strength of those rebels. Don't worry, my hand still hurts, I won't steal your limelight."

This woman is simply ignorant of good and bad! Su Ling snorted coldly, "You are really an annoying woman."

Gu Yun raised her eyebrows lightly and laughed, "How many women have you seen?" She remembered that there wasn't even a female mosquito in the General's Mansion, let alone a woman. Coupled with his bad attitude towards women, she doubted how many women would dare to appear around him.

Su Ling obviously didn't expect Gu Yun to ask this question. A look of astonishment flashed on his arrogant face. Hearing the implication of her words, Su Ling's eagle eyes turned cold, staring at Gu Yun.

Gu Yun shrugged and replied with sympathy, "Okay, don't think so hard, I understand." After speaking, Gu Yun turned around, sighed heavily, and walked toward the tent.

"Qing Mo!"

A violent roar came from behind. Gu Yun's lips raised lightly unconsciously. The moonlight tonight is so beautiful, and her mood doesn't seem to be so bad.
