Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 1063 - Survival

Chapter 1063: Survival

Ye Jian had all the equipment for a night march. Besides night gears, she also had four different kinds of equipment for single combat.
Personal protection, life support, ammunition, and night vision equipment. She had everything. She had a better set of gears as compared to the border guards she met at 4 pm.
Ye Jian fixed the night-vision goggles and carried a domestically produced QBU that had an effective shooting range of 1000 meters and a caliber of 5.8mm. She rushed quickly towards her destination. She predicted that she would reach her shelter by 9 pm.
The ‘road’ that she was walking on now was the route Xia Jinyuan and his comrades walked for their inferno outdoor survival training. All the training she went through during this winter break was what Xia Jinyuan went through in the past. Nothing was changed!
The shelter she would rest at tonight was the same shelter he rested. It was a man-made hole that wasn’t very wide, but it was big enough for her to sleep in. No one knew when this hole was made.
It was a difficult four hours of march. Around 7 pm, the rain started to get heavy again. Fortunately, it was Winter so there was no thunder and lightning. If not, she had to prevent herself from getting struck by lightning.
After walking for approximately one hour, she saw a piece of cloth that got hooked by a thorn in this green world. Like a catapult, she flew behind a tree. Then, she slowly moved towards the bushes.
She took down the cloth to take a look. She squinted her eyes slightly. After getting washed by the rainwater, there was still a faint scent of blood on the cloth. She took a look at her environment. A huge area of the bushes had been trampled upon. From the size of the trampling, she predicted that there were no less than five people.
Her gaze landed on an unknown tree. Ye Jian noticed that the branches had been cut recently.
She turned and observed the piece of cloth that had a faint scent of blood. The sides of the cloth were sewed. It didn’t look like it was pulled off someone’s clothes. Instead, it felt like it was pulled off the corner of someone’s pants.
She picked up a few broken bits of branches that had been cut. There was also a pile of newly cut wood shavings… Blood, cloth from the edge of pants, traces of fresh cuts on a tree as well as newly shaved wood shavings. Someone’s leg was hurt and needed to support his leg to continue his journey.
They didn’t wipe away their traces. They were either in a hurry or they didn’t know that they should wipe their traces.
She could eliminate the border guards she met some time ago. They wouldn’t leave such obvious traces behind. Even if they took a break in the middle, they would remove their traces before they leave.
No one should be hurt. She didn’t see any injured people in the group.
“Oh my god, I can’t be so lucky, right? They are not the people that the officers are chasing, right?” Ye Jian muttered to herself softly. She placed the cloth back in its original position while making a slight change… she tied a knot.
Then, she found some small rocks and made a hint that the police officers could understand. After preparing everything, Ye Jian wiped away her own traces and placed her raincoat around her again. She continued on her journey.
Around ten minutes later, the barkings of dogs came from the back of the rainforest. After some time, a group of border guards wearing the same camouflage uniforms appeared at the spot where Ye Jian stopped.
“Leader Liu, here!” A police officer in charge of scouting pointed to the cloth on the bush. Then, he pointed to the small rocks on the ground. “Bowknot, number of people… One of our men came here.”
A slimmer man that wasn’t bulky walked over. His figure wasn’t good but he gave off a strong and fierce aura. He took off the bowknot with his hand. His phalanx was a little thick. Then, he took a look at the small rocks on the leaves and pondered for a few seconds before saying, “It’s not one of our men. Someone else discovered it and left these hints to guide us.”
