Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

After a few hours of interaction, a bold male soldier could even joke with Ye Jian. He raised his voice and smiled. ”Azure Bird, can you still run down the mountain?”

”Hahaha, do you want Azure Bird to roll down the mountain like a snowball with her bag?”

”Actually, you can try running. If you can run, Azure Bird and I will run with you!”

On the other side of the mountain, several black shadows suddenly flashed past the pale golden setting sun. Like mountain ghosts walking in the mountain, they disappeared nimbly.

A forest musk deer came out of nowhere and kicked the bushes with its hooves. The sound alerted a few unknown birds that were looking for food. The frightened birds immediately spread their wings and flew high. They left their silhouettes on the vast mountain before disappearing.

Ye Jian held her binoculars and looked ahead. She happened to see a few birds flying past the mountain range about 500 meters away from them. Birds wouldn’t be frightened by the cold. Only when there were strange sounds in the forest would they be frightened.

”There are forest musk deer footprints. There are forest musk deers in the vicinity.” No. 3 put down his binoculars and smiled at Ye Jian. ”A few days ago, forest musk deers came to our restricted areas. The brothers from the cooking team had to hold themselves back for a long time before they couldn’t control themselves and made them into food.”

Ye Jian immediately remembered the last time she trained with the Storm Commando brigade. She encountered living creatures in the forest. The comrades of the Xueyu unit rubbed their fists and wanted to catch them to roast them. They even mentioned a few roasting methods. Their expressions… were still fresh in her mind.

Unexpectedly, it was the same for the new recruits. A few male soldiers stared at the musk deer footprints left in the snow and wiped the corners of their mouths with regret.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t start a fire. If not, they could kill one and eat it secretly.

When it came to food, they had no taboos. When they were hungry, as long as there was food, they would eat it.

Just like now, they were extremely hungry.

There were only compressed biscuits in the backpack. There was nothing else to eat. If they wanted to drink water, they would grab the snow and stuff it into their mouths. They had to wait until it turned into water before swallowing it.

Ye Jian walked to the male soldiers and stared at the footprints with them. She sighed and said, ”You can’t eat these deers. They’re protected by the nation. We have to restrain ourselves. There aren’t many of them left. If you want to eat wild animals, go back to the base and catch wild chickens and rabbits to eat.”

There were many small game mountains. The cooking team could get more than ten of them every time they went into the mountains.

They shouldn’t think about it now. They were doing weight-bearing cross-country and couldn’t light a fire. They couldn’t even eat wild chickens and rabbits.

Ye Jian was hungry too. She couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.

She came over directly, and the male soldiers who were resting didn’t notice her. When they suddenly heard her voice from behind, they quickly got up and restrained their expressions.

They felt a little embarrassed when facing the tough female soldier. However, they couldn’t help but want to talk to the only female soldier in the team.

A male soldier asked her softly, ”Are you hungry?”

”A little. I didn’t eat lunch. My stomach is empty.” Ye Jian patted her stomach. She seemed to have thought of something and smacked her lips. She took out a compressed biscuit from her pocket with a sigh. ”I’ll think about meat when I’m eating these biscuits.

Hopefully, I can trick my brain into tasting meat.”

As soon as the packaging was torn, Ye Jian started eating the compressed biscuits in front of the male soldiers.

The male soldiers couldn’t help but laugh when they saw this.

”If it’s not enough, we have more. You can eat until you’re full.”

”That’s right. We saved half a bar each. So there are 15 bars from the 30 of us. You’ll definitely be full.”

”Alas, I’m hungry too. I’m going to learn from you. I’ll think about meat when eating the biscuits. I hope I can taste the meat.”

There was another burst of laughter. The laughter was loud and clear, sweeping away the fatigue brought about by hours of weight-bearing cross-country travel.
