Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 236 Strolling
Shi Xia fell behind the crowd, watching the soldiers in front of her stand as a human wall with their weapons raised, shooing away the people approaching the border.

Two groups of people approached. The first group, after getting very close to the border, clashed with the second group that was chasing after them.

They weren't armed with firearms; they were all beaten with sticks and clubs.

The other side is fighting, but they're fighting on our border.

They've put our border defenses on high alert. Shi Xia laughed when she saw this. What a mess!
She doesn't like it.

Even if you don't like it, you might feel a little restless.

She watched for a while, then turned and left.

These people will not cross the border; our Chinese border defenses can always be trusted.

Shi Xia returned to her little house, ready to wander around.

She came out and saw two little girls carrying baskets walking up the mountain.

She walked over with a smile.

"kid--"

Shi Xia's expression froze, and the girls looked at her warily.

Could it be that the pimple on my face is affecting my social skills?

"Little friend, I'm not a bad person!"

Two children ran off with baskets, heading towards a patrolling soldier. They pointed at Shi Xia from a distance and seemed to be saying something.

Shi Xia blinked. Did she look like a bad person?

A short while later, the patrolling soldiers came over, followed by two little girls who were armed with baskets and staring at Shi Xia.

"Hello comrade, please show me your identification."

Shi Xia cooperated and showed her identification, which the soldiers checked very carefully.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Comrade Shi Xia."

"You two children did a great job. You reported the strangers immediately. I have checked and this Comrade Shi Xia is indeed one of our corps members."

After the soldier finished speaking formally to the little girl, he looked at Shi Xia.

"Comrade Shi Xia, our area is located on the edge, and the children receive education on life, health, and survival from a young age."

Three-Life Education?

Shi Xia was a little curious, but it wasn't appropriate to ask right now.

After the soldier left, Shi Xia apologized to the two children. The little girl shook her head and finally smiled.

"It's okay, Sister Shixia, are you new here?"

"Yes, we just arrived today. What is this 'Three-Life Education' you're talking about?"

Next, Shi Xia learned about the three aspects of life from the child: life, survival, and living.

It turns out that these children have to receive harsh and dangerous education about the border from a young age, and be more wary of strangers.

Moreover, even such young children have to participate in training every year, just so they can become a force to be reckoned with in critical moments.

When is it necessary for all children to attend school?

That kind of thing has happened before, but nobody wants it to happen again.

"That's great, keep it up."

After expressing her admiration, Shi Xia went up the mountain with the two little girls to learn how to pick mushrooms.

The timing wasn't quite right, so there weren't many mushrooms, but it's better than nothing.

However, the two girls told Shi Xia that they were looking for wild pine mushrooms today, which are plentiful at this time of year.

Shi Xia remembered it and helped look for it.

As a result, she picked a basket of mushrooms, which were then picked over by two little girls.

Shi Xia saw one mushroom after another being thrown out.

"Sister, if you eat this, you'll see skulls."

"This allows you to see the King of Hell."

"This can blind you."

……

At the very bottom of the basket, there were only two lonely mushrooms.

Shi Xia grimaced; she decided it was best not to eat mushrooms indiscriminately.

The three of them picked mushrooms and some wild vegetables, and finally returned.

Back in the army corps, Shi Xia went to find Commander Cao, carrying a mushroom in each hand.

After Commander Cao saw it.

Don't eat mushrooms indiscriminately.

Shi Xia immediately knew this person had gained experience in the food. "It's been inspected by the local girls. These two are for you; I'm here to ask you something."

Shi Xia sat down without ceremony, while Commander Cao sat upright, waiting for Shi Xia to speak.

"What happened over there? Why are they fighting?"

"A rebellion has broken out within their borders, and they are currently suppressing it."

Shi Xia nodded.

"Then why are they attacking us?"

"One is to test them, and the other is probably to find a way out, but we will not accept that."

Shi Xia nodded again.

What does our production and construction corps lack most?

"what?"

Commander Cao, not quite following the train of thought, asked, "Didn't you come here to find water?"

"This... I've finished looking!"

This time, Commander Cao was even more bewildered.

"When did you find this company? Didn't you just arrive?"

Shi Xia fiddled with the mushrooms on the table, picked one up and smelled it, saying, "Didn't I say before I came that I went hiking in the mountains first? I walked all over the place and even drew a map, marking where there is water and where there isn't. As long as I give it to a geologist, they will understand it at a glance."

"I'll give you the information in a bit. Now, let's talk about the question I asked earlier: What does the Corps lack most?"

Commander Cao finally caught up with the train of thought, and a sentence suddenly came to mind, a sentence that had been specifically instructed by the higher-ups.

If Shi Xia asks you for anything, don't hesitate to ask.

He didn't understand why at first, but now he's starting to get it.

"We lack everything – food, clothing, shelter, and transportation."

Shi Xia thought about the scene she had seen, and realized it made sense.

"Okay, I got it. You don't like mushrooms either, so I'll take them with me."

Shi Xia took two more mushrooms with her.

After returning, Shi Xia followed the soldiers and got food in lunchboxes. There was plenty of wild vegetables and grain, but the taste was just average.

Shi Xia, holding a bowl of wild vegetable rice, looked around at the surrounding environment and realized how poor it really was.

How can you protect yourself if you don't eat well and don't rest well?

After the meal, Shi Xia took a stroll along the border and did some on-site inspection.

The next day, Shi Xia handed in the recorded data. After exploring with the geologists for three days, she found Commander Cao and said she wanted to go for a stroll.

"stroll?"

"Correct."

Commander Cao had already made a phone call to inquire. He opened the drawer and handed Shi Xia a piece of paper.

"These are the things we're missing, listed in order of importance from top to bottom."

Shi Xia smiled and accepted it.

"understood."

She left so gracefully.

No one knows how or when she left.

In short, the person is no longer here.

This departure lasted for many days.

At this time, Shi Xia was already in YN territory.

She observed the two groups fighting for several days and even found their hideout.

After observing for a while, Shi Xia made her move.

She named the two groups the Old Nest Gang and the New Gang.

On the first day, a base of the old gang inexplicably caught fire. They suspected that the new gang was responsible, so they immediately went to fight it with any weapons they could find.

The new faction says they didn't, which must be a scheme by the old faction—they deliberately burned their own base and then pinned the blame on them.

Both sides stuck to their own versions of events, and a fight broke out.

Summer, at that very moment, entered the old gang's warehouse and took away supplies such as rice, flour, cooking oil, and tents.

The next day, one of the New Faction's bases was bombed.

Without a doubt, they believed it was the work of the gang from the old hideout, so they went there armed with knives and guns. The two groups met halfway, and just then the gang from the old hideout wanted revenge for the stolen supplies, so the two groups started fighting again.

Shi Xia successfully raided another base.
