230: I was very angry.

She had eaten tiger meat before, and this time, after tasting it, she felt the flavor was quite good. Perhaps a lot of seasoning was added, which also suppressed the sour taste... "Your cooking skills are good."

Xiao Niannian praised her comrades-in-arms.

Now in the wild, it was naturally not like eating in the Military Unit's cafeteria.

Xiao Niannian was given a large bowl of meat and vegetables, and a bowl of rice. Everyone else ate wild vegetables; only the injured had rice.

Xiao Niannian looked around. She had heard her comrades-in-arms say earlier that it would be great if they could find sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The land by this stream was quite fertile; maybe someone really did throw seeds here.

After all, these two don't need much care to grow, though the harvest wouldn't be as good as those carefully tended.

Xiao Niannian walked around, holding her bowl. Although the sky was gradually darkening, her eyes were excellent at night.

After walking for a while, Xiao Niannian saw a flat area ahead with a lot of grass and some vine-like things.

She quickly ran over and, upon closer inspection, found that they were indeed sweet potato leaves.

"Squad Leader Li, Company Commander Yun..."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's voice, the Soldiers all looked ahead.

"Comrade Xiao, what's wrong?"

Squad Leader Li and Company Commander Yun heard the sound, immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks, and ran towards Xiao Niannian.

Some other Soldiers also followed, sprinting.

"There are sweet potatoes here, very big ones."

Xiao Niannian picked up a string of dug-up sweet potatoes and said happily to the Soldiers.

Hearing this, the Soldiers, who had been somewhat worried, were now very happy.

"There are sweet potatoes here?"

"They're wild."

Xiao Niannian handed over the sweet potatoes in her hand.

It was already dark now, but the moonlight was still quite bright.

The Soldiers looked at the sweet potatoes, overjoyed.

"They're sweet potatoes."

"This string of sweet potatoes is so big, and each one is so large."

"Now we're in for a treat."

"Dig quickly."

"Dig more, we'll have an extra meal tonight."

Xiao Niannian watched as many people immediately started digging, and in a short while, dozens of sweet potatoes were unearthed.

The dug-up sweet potatoes were immediately carried over and placed in the campfire. Some were washed, peeled, cut into chunks, and boiled in water... Xu Yang heard about the sweet potatoes and saw many Reconnaissance Battalion Soldiers returning with sweet potatoes.

Before, they only had wild vegetables and wild fruits, and no wild boar meat or anything. Seeing the Reconnaissance Battalion people eating so well, they felt very uneasy.

Their allocated rice was also finished, and they had no food left.

"Company Commander Xu, let's go dig for sweet potatoes too."

With sweet potatoes, they wouldn't have to worry about hunger for the next two or three days. With sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs, their combat effectiveness could be maintained. Then, if they encountered wild beasts again, they could win and wouldn't be so humiliated again.

Xu Yang stood up and led the Soldiers of his team towards that direction.

He saw the Reconnaissance Battalion people all bowing their heads, quickly digging for sweet potatoes.

Xu Yang led his men to join in the sweet potato digging.

"Captain Lu, now the Soldiers from both competition teams are digging sweet potatoes..."

Lu Jing looked at the sweet potatoes being roasted in front of him and said.

"Contact the other teams and inquire about their situation..."

"Yes."

An hour later, Xiao Niannian tasted fresh roasted sweet potatoes.

It was very sweet and fragrant.

"Delicious."

"This is the best sweet potato I've ever eaten."

"It's truly delicious."

"So tasty."

The sound of Soldiers' praises came from all sides, each voice filled with joy.

"Sweet potatoes with this wild boar meat and tiger meat, this life is truly wonderful."

"This is the best meal I've ever had."

"I never thought that wilderness survival training could have such delicious meat and sweet potatoes."

"It's so fragrant."

Xu Yang and his team dug some, but the quantity was nowhere near what the Reconnaissance Battalion Soldiers dug, only a fifth of their amount.

The rest were all dug up by the Reconnaissance Battalion Soldiers.

They didn't have many pots or lunchboxes, so they could only roast them.

The Soldiers participating in this training camp weren't very good at cooking; they could only make food that was cooked and edible. Seeing the fragrant meals prepared by the Reconnaissance Battalion Soldiers, many felt a bit envious.

The people in the Reconnaissance Battalion are so united.

Although their regiment was also quite united, there was still competition among the different battalions.

Squad Leader Li and Company Commander Yun brought two plates of meat to the Soldiers from other regiments. They weren't willing to give more; if it were their own battalion's or regiment's brothers, they could eat as much as they wanted, but for brothers from other regiments, letting them taste it was already very generous.

Moreover, they still needed to take this tiger meat and wild boar back for the Soldiers in their battalion to taste.

"Thank you, Company Commander Yun, thank you, Squad Leader Li..."

They thanked them with smiles.

They took out the wild fruits from their bags and gave them to Squad Leader Li and Company Commander Yun.

"Squad Leader Li, Company Commander Yun, please have some..."

Unable to decline, Squad Leader Li and Company Commander Yun accepted the wild fruits and distributed them among the Soldiers.

After eating, Xu Yang walked towards Company Commander Yun.

"Company Commander Yun, do you have a walkie-talkie? I want to contact the Instructors and inquire about the situation of my comrades-in-arms..."

Company Commander Yun shook his head upon hearing this.

"We didn't bring a walkie-talkie; only the Instructors have them."

Hearing this, Xu Yang was a bit disappointed. He looked around; he knew there were Instructors nearby, but he hadn't found where they were.

In such a dangerous situation today, the Instructors didn't even intervene.

His other teammates, he wondered where they were now and if they had encountered any danger.

Xu Yang felt very angry.

Xiao Niannian listened to Xu Yang and Company Commander Yun talking. Hearing Xu Yang wanting to find the Instructors and looking angry, Xiao Niannian frowned. She had already heard about Xu Yang's team's incident today.

It was clearly a problem with Xu Yang's team. If the tiger hadn't deliberately played with them, several of them would have been seriously injured... Of course, if the tiger had chased them, the Instructors would have opened fire.

After eating, Xiao Niannian returned to the shelter.

She was full and well-rested, and very sleepy.

That night, Xiao Niannian slept soundly.

At around six in the morning, Xiao Niannian woke up on time.

Looking around, many comrades-in-arms were still asleep, while the comrade responsible for cooking had already prepared breakfast.

"Shh."

A whistle sounded, and all the comrades woke up.

"Hurry and wash up, breakfast will be ready soon. After breakfast, we'll continue our journey..."

Hearing Company Commander Yun's words, everyone quickly started moving.

Xiao Niannian had already washed up by now and walked over with her lunchbox.

"Comrade Xiao, have this."

Squad Leader Li handed over two eggs.

Seeing the eggs, Xiao Niannian was slightly surprised.

"These are wild eggs they found when they went to collect firewood earlier..."
