223: If we follow Comrade Xiao, we will surely find our destination.

Military Doctor Shen and Lu Jing stood in a mountain forest more than twenty meters away. Military Doctor Shen looked at the Soldiers by the pond through binoculars and said with a smile.

"Look at them, don't they remind you of us when we first joined the training..."

Lu Jing ignored Military Doctor Shen, his gaze fixed on Xiao Niannian not far away.

Xiao Niannian had already speared two fish. After spearing them, she immediately gutted them. In just a few swift motions, the two fish were cleaned.

Xiao Niannian found a spot, set up a stove, cleaned the stone slab, and took out salt, chili, a small bottle of oil, and a brush from her bag.

Everyone had been busy catching fish and gathering firewood to light a fire. Now, smelling the aroma, all eyes turned to Xiao Niannian.

"Why does the fish Comrade Xiao is grilling smell so good?"

"Did she even bring chili?"

"Oh my goodness, it's like she's here for fun, not for wilderness survival training."

"Why didn't I think of that?"

Military Doctor Shen's voice also sounded in Lu Jing's ear.

"Brother Lu, look at Comrade Xiao, she's so fast, and she brought so many seasonings. This grilled fish must be delicious..."

Lu Jing looked into the distance, where Niannian was grilling fish with practiced ease. Niannian had cooked for him before, and her culinary skills were indeed excellent.

These two fish probably weren't enough to fill her stomach. But he wasn't worried about Niannian going hungry. On the other hand, some of the other Team Members performed well in certain subjects, but their performance in this wilderness survival subject was very poor.

If Niannian hadn't led them to the water source, it might have taken several more hours to find it.

Military Doctor Shen looked at Lu Jing and said.

"Brother Lu, I'm a bit hungry. How about we go catch a few fish to grill and eat?"

They still had dry rations and rice, but cooking now was too troublesome, and they had only brought some pickled radishes and the like. How could that compare to delicious grilled fish?

"You go catch and grill them."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Military Doctor Shen quickly ran to the side.

Military Doctor Shen even grabbed two comrades-in-arms to go fishing together.

Before long, Military Doctor Shen returned with several cleaned fish.

"Brother Lu, you grill the fish. Your cooking is better." Military Doctor Shen truly believed Lu Jing's cooking was good.

His own cooking was also good, but Brother Lu's was just a little bit better than his.

Lu Jing saw that the fish were gutted and processed, and the fire was lit, so he also started grilling the fish.

Seeing Lu Jing pull out oil, chili, salt, and other seasonings from his backpack, Military Doctor Shen was shocked.

"You actually brought so many seasonings too! You and Comrade Xiao are truly outstanding..."

He had more to say, but held back. As expected, they were cut from the same cloth; they even thought of bringing seasonings. He had only brought some salt for wilderness survival training. He hadn't brought oil or chili, originally thinking he could pick some wild fruits, or wild Sichuan peppercorns and other edible plants in the wilderness to use as seasonings... Xiao Niannian looked around. After entering the mountains, she knew there were many Instructors nearby. These people were observing the Team Members' situation and would also provide assistance if they encountered danger.

They were just ordinary Soldiers; they couldn't possibly lose their lives during wilderness survival.

However, the Special Forces Brigade was different. For the Special Forces Brigade, once people were put in, nothing else was managed. Moreover, there would be various missions and assessments in the mountain forest... After Xiao Niannian ate the grilled fish, feeling full, she immediately disposed of all the traces she had left.

Squad Leader Li made the same movements as Xiao Niannian. Some of the other Soldiers imitated Xiao Niannian, while others looked at her with confusion.

"Is Comrade Xiao cleaning up her traces?"

"Do as Comrade Xiao does; she's so capable, there must be a reason..."

"Although Comrade Xiao isn't in our team, if we follow her, we will definitely be able to get out of this mountain and find the finish line..."

"You're right, follow Comrade Xiao, and you'll definitely find the finish line and complete the mission..."

Xiao Niannian smiled as she listened to their discussions.

Now they still had the energy to chat, but by the afternoon, they would be tired and hungry. By night, if they didn't build a shelter, they would be terrified if they encountered wild beasts.

A day passed in a flash. Seeing that it was getting dark, Xiao Niannian found a suitable spot and started working.

Watching Xiao Niannian stop, cut down trees, and weave vines, the Soldiers also stopped.

"Comrade Xiao seems to be building a shelter. Is she planning to sleep in a tree tonight?"

"We should also quickly cut some trees to put under us. We can't just sleep directly on the ground. At this time, there are still many snakes, insects, rats, and ants..."

Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen saw a group of Soldiers frantically cutting down trees, while Xiao Niannian was the fastest. Not only that, she also placed two medicine packets in her shelter. With these two medicine packets, Xiao Niannian wasn't afraid of snakes, insects, rats, or ants at all.

Xiao Niannian had already copied the prescription for these medicine packets for Military Doctor Shen, to be used for the Military Unit in the future.

This time, Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen also brought these with them on their trip.

Lu Jing squeezed the medicine packet in his hand, his gaze fixed on the distance. His eyes met Xiao Niannian's. Even though they were more than ten meters apart, for some reason, Lu Jing always had a feeling that Niannian was aware of his every move.

Niannian's vigilance was also extremely high; many comrades in the Special Forces Brigade didn't have such good vigilance.

Niannian was like a born Special Forces Soldier. The longer he spent with her, the more surprises she gave him.

Xiao Niannian watched Lu Jing's gaze shift from her. She knew Lu Jing and the others were always following. In her original world, when she was an Instructor, very few people would follow; it was all high-tech, using satellite positioning, drones, and other advanced equipment.

Even if their people entered the primeval forest, their location could be tracked at any time... If a few really went missing, or a few encountered danger and died, let alone Lu Jing and the others, Captain Chen, Political Commissar Li, and Division Commander Yu would also be in big trouble.

Xiao Niannian collected her thoughts, returned to her sleeping spot, pulled up her quilt, and fell asleep immediately.

Xiao Niannian slept soundly that night, but some of her comrades-in-arms didn't sleep as well; some didn't even get an hour of sleep.

Upon waking, Xiao Niannian immediately packed her things, preparing to find some wild vegetables or wild fruits to fill her stomach. Otherwise, if she walked until noon, she would definitely go hungry.

With so many Instructors and comrades-in-arms following her now, it wouldn't be good for her to eat and drink heartily.

Of course, when she was truly hungry, she would avoid the gaze of the Instructors and comrades-in-arms to fill her stomach.
