Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Even if you don't bite it with your teeth, cutting it into small strips or pieces with a dagger and swallowing it raw is not a good choice. It is easy to get it stuck in your throat or choke on your trachea.

Moreover, there are other side effects. The human stomach has a very poor ability to digest whole pieces of raw lean meat. When the raw meat gets stuck in the stomach, it will cause bloating and trigger symptoms such as severe stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Finally, when making as little noise as possible, catching a hare is far more difficult than catching a field mouse.

Wu Liuyi followed the earthen slope and soon found several smooth holes without cobwebs, indicating that there must be field mice inside.

He first blocked the several holes on the side with clods of earth, leaving only one hole in the main hole to guard. Before two minutes had passed, a gray shadow peeked out from the hole.

With a snap of his fingers, he pinned the field mouse down by the neck. With a slight tightening of his knuckles, the field mouse, which had been struggling, fell silent.

Following the same method, in just half an hour, Wu Liuyi caught more than a dozen fat field mice, and then casually picked a few handfuls of reeds.

This thing is very tough and doesn't break easily. It's most convenient to twist it into small ropes.

In just two or three minutes, Wu Liuyi carried a string of more than a dozen field mice back to the pit.

It was already 5:30 when someone woke up again. It was Xiao Wenwu. Xu Sanduo handed over the sentry duty to Xiao Wenwu and prepared to go dig up some wild vegetables so that everyone could at least have something to eat.

After all, people can't go without food, and no one can stand the feeling of being hungry. Even eating some wild vegetables would make things a little better.

When Wu Liu returned with a bunch of field mice in his arms, Xu Sanduo had not yet returned.

Seeing the string of field mice Wu Liuyi was carrying, Xiao Wenwu knew exactly what he was going to do. He couldn't help but swallow hard and whispered, "Liuyi, are you really going to eat this?"

Wu Liuyi grinned. "What else?"

Xiao Wenwu swallowed hard. "Okay, okay, you eat first. I... I need to rest for a bit."

Wu Liuyi chuckled softly, didn't reply, squatted down to the side, took out his military knife, and began to deal with the field mice.

He first peeled off the rat's skin, took out the whole body of the field mouse, then removed its internal organs, head and hooves, leaving only the clean meat, and then picked some green grass and vigorously rubbed off the blood.

Finally, it was divided into small pieces, one small piece at a time.

Looking at the small pile of field mouse meat in front of him, Wu Liuyi swallowed hard, then picked up a piece, closed his eyes, and stuffed it into his mouth, beginning to chew slowly.

As he chewed, a trickle of blood dripped down the corner of his mouth.

This scene sent chills down Xiao Wenwu's spine; Wu Liuyi truly lived up to his reputation as the most ruthless man in the Steel Seventh Company.

Just then, Xu Sanduo returned carrying a small pile of wild vegetables. When he saw the scene before him, he was also startled and couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!" He stood there, stunned, staring at Wu Liuyi.

Although Xu Sanduo's voice wasn't loud, it still woke Cheng Cai, who was already about to wake up, and Gan Xiaoning and Guo Feng also moved.

Cheng Cai shifted slightly, turned his head, and saw Wu Liuyi eating something. He asked in a low voice, "Squad Leader Wu, what are you eating all by yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liuyi turned to look at Cheng Cai and said in a suppressed voice, "Breakfast, do you want to eat?"

Before Cheng Cai could reply, Gan Xiaoning, upon hearing the words "breakfast," got up without even thinking and headed straight for Wu Liuyi.

What came into view was a grayish skin and a small pile of bloody, sizzling chunks of flesh. Upon seeing this, Gan Xiaoning quickly shrank back.

Gan Xiaoning picked up the fallen gun and said in disbelief, "Wu Liuyi, are you crazy? You're eating raw rat meat?"

As Wu Liuyi continued chewing, he replied, "Field mouse."

"Field mice are still mice," Gan Xiaoning stared wide-eyed at Wu Liuyi, the scene was too much for him to bear. "Cooked ones are one thing, but how do you eat them raw?"

Wu Liuyi didn't say anything, he just chewed hard.

Watching this made Gan Xiaoning even hungrier, and she asked almost unconsciously, "Is it delicious?"

Wu Liuyi turned to look at Gan Xiaoning, "What do you think?"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "You're lucky enough to have food as soon as you wake up. I was chewing while thinking about what it looked like when it was alive."

I'm about to throw up if I eat any more, so the rest is all yours.

After saying that, Wu Liuyi stuffed another piece into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

Gan Xiaoning still found it hard to accept, "Are you serious? Ah, this isn't the War of Resistance against Japan in the 1980s, nor is it the Korean War. It's just an assessment, isn't it?"

Wu Liuyi sheathed his military knife, looked at Gan Xiaoning, and said, "You're not going to eat, are you? If you're not going to eat, you'll lose to yourself first, you'll lose to your physical strength first."

Gan Xiaoning stared intently at Wu Liuyi. "I said, you really want to join the Old A that much?"

Wu Liuyi glanced at Gan Xiaoning but didn't say anything. He not only wanted to join the Old A, but he also imagined it as a real-world operation.

He ate a field mouse because he believed that if this were real combat, he would die if he didn't eat it.

Cheng Cai looked at Gan Xiaoning and asked in return, "You don't want to?"

Gan Xiaoning held the gun and thought for a moment before saying, "To be honest, I want to, I really want to, but..."

Cheng Cai smiled and said, "But what? Don't forget, there are only three spots available. We have six people now. If you don't eat, you'll definitely be one of the three left out."

He let out a long breath, pulled out his military knife with a confident smile, wiped it on his clothes, and said, "I'm within three miles."

Having already realized what was happening, Xu Sanduo silently took out a few wild garlic he had picked and handed them to Wu Liuyi.

Then he placed the remaining wild vegetables next to the small pile of bloody field mouse meat that Wu Liuyi had prepared.

Wu Liuyi picked up the wild garlic and chewed it quickly, a spicy aroma instantly filling his mouth.

"Awesome," Wu Liuyi said in a low voice.

As the wild garlic entered his mouth, its spicy taste stimulated his appetite again. He took out his military knife, stuck a piece of meat in it, and ate it again with the wild garlic.

Cheng Cai also came over and forcefully stabbed a piece with his military knife.

Seeing his trembling hands, Wu Liuyi grinned. He knew Cheng Cai's ambition well. "You don't need me to persuade you, do you?"

Cheng Cai glanced at the blood trickling from Wu Liuyi's lips, swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and stuffed the meat into his mouth.

Xu Sanduo didn't make many moves; he simply picked up a few shepherd's purse leaves, wrapped a piece of bloody meat in them, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xiao Wenwu and Guo Feng also gathered around, silently picking up wild vegetables and eating them with the field mouse meat.

Watching the five people chewing, Gan Xiaoning felt even hungrier.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked again, "Is it really delicious?"

Wu Liuyi took another bite of wild garlic. "Hmm, it's not bad to eat it like this. It tastes like chicken."
