Demon Wolf was a child who grew up in a pack of wolves. He was like a fish in water when he came to this wooded island.
If he was alone, with his speed and hunting skills, he was confident that he could wipe out the other teams in less than three days.
However, soldiers were not hunters. They did not advocate individual heroism at all. Not only did they have to consider strategic deployment, but they also had to ensure the survival of the entire team based on everyone's ability to cooperate.
This gave Demon Wolf a headache. He had always been not good with words, and the team he led was also randomly selected from the Dragon Soul members. As far as he knew, there were at least three people who were close to Zhao Zilong.
This was on the surface. With Zhao Zilong's ability to win people's hearts, he did not know how many people in his team were planted by him.
Therefore, not only did he have to consider how to deal with the sneak attacks of the other teams, but he also had to be on guard against sneak attacks from behind. This made him feel particularly tired, and he especially missed the brotherly life in the Zodiac Army.
Of course, this was only his worry, and it did not mean that it would definitely become a reality. After all, those who could enter the Dragon Soul were elite soldiers. They regarded glory as their lives, and they might not really listen to Zhao Zilong's arrangements and do things without a bottom line.
However, one should not have the heart to harm others, and one should not have the heart to guard against others. After joining the army for a period of time, Demon Wolf also learned to think carefully. He would not easily open his heart to others and trust others casually.
He quietly glanced at the three soldiers who seemed to be very close to Zhao Zilong, crouched on the ground, and called all the team members to gather.
Knowing that their every move was under surveillance, even those who were not convinced by Demon Wolf obediently performed their duties at this moment, surrounded Demon Wolf and crouched down.
Demon Wolf used a dagger to draw a map on the ground and said in a deep voice, "The four teams landed on the island from the east, south, west, and north. We landed on the island from the west. This is the map of our route along the way. I will give everyone three minutes to remember this map."
"Captain, why do we need to remember the route that we have already taken? Isn't that a waste of effort? "
Although the soldiers admired Demon Wolf's memory, some soldiers felt that he was doing something superfluous and questioned him unwillingly.
Demon Wolf did not get angry, nor did he use his status as captain to oppress others. He knew that although he performed well in all aspects, he was still a rookie after all. Veterans had their pride, and how could he easily admit that he was inferior to a rookie?
Egg
"Remembering the surrounding terrain is a compulsory lesson for us, especially since we're going back to the seaside to rest tonight. It's even more necessary to remember the map."
"Go back to the beach to rest? Are you crazy? There's no place to take cover by the sea. Wouldn't resting by the sea be a living target? "
Immediately, a soldier sneered and said, looking at Demon Wolf with eyes full of disdain.
Son is indeed a recruit egg.
From this, it could be seen that he wasn't a qualified leader at all.
"Not bad, Ning Ding. Although your comprehensive strength is very strong in all aspects, when it comes to survival in the wild, you are still a little lacking."
Some of the warriors began to speak rudely. They didn't even call him captain anymore. Instead, they called him by his name.
The others also started to make a ruckus. There was even a warrior named Huang Hailong who pointed at his nose and said that he didn't deserve to be a captain.
Demon Wolf didn't say anything. He just looked at him quietly. His deep eyes made his heart tremble. He felt that he wasn't facing a person, but a hungry wolf. He couldn't help but close his mouth.
"Are you all done?"
Demon Wolf said lightly when he saw everyone was silent. He glanced at Huang Hailong intentionally or unintentionally. This person was one of the three people who had a close relationship with Zhao Zilong.
Huang Hailong plucked up his courage and wanted to fan the flames. However, he felt a chill in his heart when he saw Demon Wolf's cold stare. He lowered his head in fear and didn't dare to say anything again.
"I know you don't like me as a captain, but don't forget that I got this position with my strength. If you have the ability, show your strength. Whoever can defeat me will be the captain. I won't say anything."
Demon Wolf said in a calm tone, but it made everyone lower their heads in shame. Demon Wolf had obtained full marks in the first three tests, which was the proof of his strength.
In the army, the strong were always respected. There was no distinction between veterans and recruits, and there was no judgment based on seniority. Only the capable could become a captain. This was the rule of Dragon Soul.
Demon Wolf got the position of captain with his strength. He was their commanding officer. They must obey orders unconditionally, even if the order was to kill them.
What a joke. Although fighting was not pulled out as an assessment separately, everyone knew how strong Demon Wolf's fighting strength was during the usual training. Even if the nine of them fought together, they might not be his opponent.
Seeing everyone bowing their heads, Demon Wolf's tone softened. "I know some of you don't like me in your heart, but it doesn't matter. I don't need you to be convinced. As long as you obey my orders and don't make any trouble for me, I won't bother with you."
Everyone was silent. Demon Wolf's straightforward words made them even more ashamed. In fact, they were not unconvinced. It was just that they were veterans, but they had to obey a recruit.
The order made them feel very ashamed and a little psychologically unbalanced.
If they were thrown into Xiao Chunan's or Zhao Zilong's team, they would never say anything. Even if they were thrown into Ye Zhiqiu's team, which was at the bottom, they felt that it was better than following a recruit.
The boss must have a face.
Demon Wolf had already figured out their psychology thoroughly. He would not expose them. He would use facts to tell them that the recruits in their eyes knew far more about survival in the wild than the veterans.
"Living by the sea is my decision after careful consideration. Maybe you haven't noticed that there are not only poisonous snakes on this island, but also a terrifying number of poisonous bees."
Demon Wolf said in a dignified tone.
"Poisonous bees?"
Everyone suddenly looked up and exclaimed, and their faces changed dramatically.
It should be known that they had just landed on the island, and they only had a military dagger and a pot of water. Before they grabbed the supply box dropped by air, there was no medicine to use. Once they were stung by poisonous bees, they could ask for help in time and let the headquarters send a helicopter to rescue them.
But it didn't matter whether the rescue could arrive in time. Even if they could arrive in time for rescue, it meant that they would have to withdraw from this assessment. As a special elite, withdrawing from the assessment on the first day of landing on the island, even if it was forced, would be a disgrace that could not be washed away in their military career.
"Yes, and this kind of poisonous bee is a very poisonous Tiger Head Bee."
Demon Wolf said with a serious expression.
Everyone's expression changed again. What a joke, the Tiger Head Bee was a terrifying bee species whose toxicity was second only to the African Killer Bee. Although with their physical fitness, being stung by one should not be life-threatening, if they were attacked by a group of them, it would be hard to say.
On this isolated island where there was a lack of doctors and medicine, if they accidentally provoked a swarm of bees, it would definitely be a matter of life and death.
"For everyone's safety, I've decided to rest by the sea tonight."
After wasting some time, Demon Wolf finally gave an explanation for his choice to set up camp by the sea.
This time, no one laughed at him for not knowing how to survive in the wild, but they were still quite worried. "The sea is windy and empty. If other teams take advantage of the night to attack us, won't we become live targets? Besides, even if no one sneaks up on us, the sea is so windy, and we don't have outdoor equipment such as tents and sleeping bags. At night, we will freeze to death. "
"No, we can choose a leeward place and collect a large amount of wood to light a bonfire to rest."
Demon Wolf said firmly. Seeing everyone's doubtful expression, he explained, "Firstly, there won't be any firearms or ammunition in the supply boxes on the first day. Let's not talk about whether the other teams can find us here. Even if they can, they can only use close-quarters combat to ambush us. Therefore, the assumption that we will become live targets doesn't hold water at all."
"What about the second?"
An impatient warrior asked.
"The second is based on the first. Without firearms or ammunition, they will have to get close to us to launch a sneak attack, right?"
Demon Wolf saw that everyone was still confused, and a cunning smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "We set up camp by the sea, so we naturally have a natural defense. I can't wait for them to sneak up on us."
"I got it. Captain is saying that if they want to get close to us and launch a sneak attack, they will have to pass through the forest densely covered with poisonous bees."
A clever warrior immediately reacted and said excitedly while slapping his thigh.
Only then did everyone understand, and an excited smile appeared on their faces. No wonder the captain said that they could light a bonfire unscrupulously. It turned out that he had thought of this long ago.
No matter what animal it was, it was innately afraid of fire, and poisonous bees were no exception. Lighting a bonfire could prevent poisonous bees from approaching and hurting people, and they could also be used to prevent other teams from launching a sneak attack.
Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Demon Wolf waved his hand in high spirits. "It's still early before night. Everyone, spread out and explore the surrounding environment first. Draw a map of this place. As long as we are familiar with the terrain here, we can attack and retreat at will. At a critical moment, we can even use the poisonous bees here to reduce the number of members of other teams. Of course, we are all comrades after all. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't want to take that step."
"Yes, captain."
This time, everyone was convinced, and they replied in a loud voice. Demon Wolf was startled, and he quickly raised his index finger to signal them to be quiet. He even specially reminded them to be careful of the honeycomb, not only on the trees, but also under their feet.
This was because these Tiger Head Bees would not only build their nests on trees, but also on the ground. If they accidentally provoked them, remember not to run away. The first thing they did was to lie down and pretend to be dead, and try to cover their exposed skin under their clothes as much as possible.
After everyone responded, they spread out in groups of two or three to explore the surrounding terrain. Quickly drawing the surrounding terrain was a compulsory course for special forces warriors. When the time came, as long as they gathered the maps they drew, they would be able to piece together a complete map of the area.
Demon Wolf looked at the back of everyone leaving, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the backs of the two warriors, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
He realized that most of the warriors respected him from the bottom of their hearts. Only two warriors had a flash of light in their eyes, and there was an extremely brief moment of eye contact. Although they quickly turned their heads and pretended that nothing had happened, how could they hide it from his eyes?
These two warriors were not as close to Zhao Zilong as Huang Hailong was. On the contrary, they did not have any interaction with him.
This made him very frightened. If they had really been bought by Zhao Zilong as he thought, it was enough to show how deep Zhao Zilong's shrewdness was. He must have been planning something since a long time ago, which was why he had always maintained a distance from his confidants.
