Girls und War

"What's wrong?" Fantuan turned his head and asked.

Xia Shu walked into the pool, squatted down and pointed to the shore.

There was a shallow footprint there.

Fantuan nodded, leaned against a rock again, and continued to observe his surroundings.

Xia Shu compared the size of the footprint with his hand, then reached out to touch it and blew gently.

"Footprints within three days, but definitely not today." Xia Shu made a judgment.

"There are no other squadrons nearby, and none of us have been here. They must be from Sakura District." Fantuan said softly.

Xia Shu nodded and followed the direction of the footprints, looking ahead and behind the road. He soon found other footprints and estimated the path they were walking on.

Then Xia Shu took out the map and compared it to the area.

"Come from here, go over there." Xia Shu thought for a moment and quickly drew a circle around an area. "They came from here."

Fantuan took a look and said, "This is a jungle. Their camp is probably inside."

Xia Shu pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you want to go and take a look?"

Fantuan also fell into deep thought, and then said to Xia Shu, "Let's communicate with Dragon first. After all, these footprints were from a while ago, and the situation is not very clear now."

Xia Shu nodded.

So Fantuan pressed the headset and called Doragon.

"Reporting to the commander, this is the sniper team, there is a situation to report..."

After a while, Fantuan ended the call with Dragon.

"She asked us to continue observing while the others slowly searched the area."

Xia Shu nodded to show that he understood.

"Should we wait and go over there to investigate?"

Xia Shu checked the time and said, "It's getting dark soon, so we should find a secluded place to camp. We'll explore again tomorrow morning."

Fantuan nodded and thought it was a good idea.

So the two began to choose a site to set up camp.

At this time, Fantuan suddenly shook his water bottle and said, "The water is not enough. Do you want to go back and resupply?"

Natsuki looked at the stream.

The stream water is very murky and cannot be used for drinking.

Natsuki frowned.

190. About the Great Frontier Camp

When Xia Shu looked at the pond, Fantuan also looked over there.

"The geology here is bad. There is a lot of mud and sand in the water. It is not drinkable." Fantuan said with a smile.

Xia Shu thought for a moment and said, "It's too far to go back for supplies. It would consume too much energy and affect the battle."

"Then just be thirsty first and save some water," said Fantuan.

Natsuki shook his head.

"Filter it and get the water right here."

She walked to the edge of the pond, examined it, picked a piece of dirt, and started digging a hole.

"Do you need my help?" Fantuan asked curiously.

"Go find a campsite and start a fire," Xia Shu said.

"Aren't you afraid of being exposed by making a fire at night?"

"It's fine as long as you turn it off before dark."

Fantuan nodded and went to look for the campsite.

Since Xia Shu has such strong survival skills in the wild, let's leave the decision to her.

Xia Shu quickly used his dagger to dig a mud pit beside the pool.

The mud pit is conical in shape and very deep, below the level of the pool.

After digging, wait for a while, and soon muddy water will seep over from the other side of the pool.

Xia Shu estimated that it would take some time for the water to seep in, and even after the water was full, he would have to wait a while for the mud and sand to settle.

I think I can do something else during this time.

Xia Shu stood up and looked towards the mountain wall.

Unlike Natsuki who was bold and confident, Fantuan was very cautious about camping in this place.

She climbed to the top of the valley and looked towards the jungle for a long time.

Then they found a cave surrounded by trees and cleared out a clean area inside.

This place seemed to be some kind of animal's nest in the past, with a lot of weeds on the ground. But judging by the traces, no animal had been here for a long time.

After the cleaning was completed, Fantuan prepared to make a fire.

She found some dry, flammable branches in the bushes and cut some wood from a dead tree.

Then they found some cotton-like plant fruits to serve as fire starters.

After returning to the cave, Fantuan went straight into the deepest part of the cave to make a fire.

The small amount of burning ash will gather at the top of the cave and will not float into the sky, thus ensuring safety to the greatest extent possible.

There is a flint and steel in the backpack, so there is no need to go through the trouble of disassembling bullets and using gunpowder to make fire.

Fantuan lit the cotton wool with a flint, put it on a dry branch and blew it for a while. Soon, the flame started.

She placed the dead wood next to the branches and roasted it for a while to remove the surface moisture before she built a smokeless bonfire and started burning the wood.

After the bonfire was lit, Fantuan felt a little uneasy, so he walked to a distance to observe it.

After confirming that the smoke was very light and could not be seen at all in the distance, we returned to the camp and began to set up the tent.

While laying the bed, Xia Shu came over with two kettles.

Fantuan looked at the time and realized that more than an hour had passed without him realizing it.

"Is the water filtered?" Fantuan asked her.

"Yeah." Xia Shu nodded.

After the water has been filtered through the mud and sand and settled for half an hour, the surface water meets the standards for drinking water.

Natsuki threw the two bloody furry animal carcasses in front of Onigiri, placed the kettle on the ground, and threw a few pebbles into the fire.

It is best to sterilize this water at high temperature, otherwise you will easily get a stomachache after drinking it.

Fantuan picked up the two things and found that they were two hares.

"Where did you catch it?" Fantuan was a little surprised.

"I just saw a few rabbit holes on the mountain wall." Xia Shu said, sitting on the ground and starting to skin the rabbit.

Despite the bloody scene, the two of them did not feel uncomfortable at all.

"How did you catch it? Did you have any tools?" Fantuan was also a little puzzled. Wild rabbits were not stupid creatures, so catching them was difficult. They had tried before, but they had never succeeded.

These rabbits never seem to eat the food in the trap.

"Flying knife." Xia Shu threw the dagger in his hand.

Rice ball smiled.

There's really nothing much to say about that.

Natsuki quickly cleaned up the hare and the rice balls one by one.

They cut the rabbit meat into small pieces with a dagger and roasted it over the fire.

After eating two pieces, I felt it was tasteless, so I opened the sauce packet in the portable ration and sprinkled it on the rabbit meat.

At this time, Fantuan picked up the kettle and prepared to drink water.

"Wait a minute." Xia Shu stopped her.

"Didn't you say it was filtered?" asked Fantuan.

Xia Shu didn't say anything, but picked up the pebbles from the fire and threw them into the kettle one by one.

The hot pebbles quickly boiled the water in the kettle.

Natsuki handed Onigiri the kettle of boiling water and said, "It's ready now."

"That's amazing." Fantuan blew on the mouth of the pot and took a sip carefully.

Except for the smell of wood ash, everything else is good.

Drinking this water in the short term will not have much impact on the body.

The two of them ate and drank, and Fantuan asked again, "Why aren't you worried that we'll be discovered here?"

Xia Shu smiled and said, "This isn't their only route in or out, and it's far from the jungle, so they won't be using this route for supply or reconnaissance. It wasn't long after their last patrol, do you think they'll do it again?"

Fantuan thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case.

If the camp in the Sakura District is in the jungle, then the outpost must be closer to the jungle.

This place is several kilometers away from there. They will definitely not come close to here.

So the two of them happily ate dinner by the fire.

When it was almost dark, the two men packed up their things and covered the fire with sand.

He set up the tent again, did a patrol inspection around, and then went to sleep in the tent early.

As soon as the sun sets, the place is plunged into complete darkness and nothing can be seen.

The night became the best protection for the two of them. Unless something unexpected happened, they would never be discovered at night.

It was almost three in the morning when Xia Shu woke up from his sleep.

Her biological clock is very sensitive and she has a very precise sense of time.

After checking the time by looking at her watch, she climbed out of the tent and called Fantuan.

The two quickly gathered their belongings, made their preparations, and headed towards the jungle.

The valley was quiet in the early morning, without any sound.

The darkest moment of the day gave them an even deeper feeling of coldness.

The road was almost pitch black and nothing could be seen, so the two of them had to walk by feeling.

The two of them carefully crossed the gap in the valley and walked into an area with a lot of jungle.

The two communicated using headsets and moved forward along the edge of the mountain.

Natsuki had studied the map of the jungle area yesterday and identified several densely forested spots that could serve as campsites.

She had to approach these places very carefully to avoid being discovered by enemy sentries.

After passing through the corner with Fantuan, they wrapped most of their bodies with cloaks and put on gloves and masks to prevent themselves from being seen by thermal telescopes.

Then they also took out infrared telescopes from their backpacks.
