Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

The helicopter flew for less than two hours before landing on a flat area in the mountains.

"Arrived at the designated point, all personnel prepare to land!!"

The captain in the cockpit gave a signal, the cabin door opened, and everyone filed off the plane with their carry-on luggage.

Yue Feng and his brother Xiao Tao, along with their luggage, Ying and Gouzi, also disembarked from the plane.

The moment they landed, a small squad of soldiers in uniforms but without ranks gathered from all directions.

When Xiao Tao saw the people surrounding him, he immediately frowned. Canglong next to him also crouched down slightly, looking at the strangers warily.

"What do you do?" Xiao Tao asked, mustering his courage.

The soldier at the front saluted Yue Feng and Xiao Tao: "Hello, I am Li Fei, the logistics support team leader for this field cooking operation!"
"Which one of you is Mr. Yue Feng? We've received instructions from the organization that from now on, for the foreseeable future, my teammates and I will be under your command in all our actions!"

Yue Feng nodded: "Who assigned you these people? Where are we now? I need all the information you have from the recent past!"

Li Fei glanced discreetly at the group of people who had disembarked with Yue Feng and his team, then replied, "This is the heart of Xuanyanglazi Mountain! Three days ago, we were ordered by our superiors to establish a forward base in the mountainous area, awaiting the arrival of the next group!"

The wording of this exchange seemed normal at first glance, but Yue Feng felt that something was off! Moreover, Yue Feng felt uncomfortable with the way Li Fei was looking at him.

When Yue Feng and Xiao Tao were driving to the airport, they saw five extra soldiers accompanying them. Why were there extra people after they got off the plane, and even more people heading to the base?

It's important to know that their main purpose in coming out this time was to catch the hanging sheep. The main force consisted of Yue Feng, Ying, and Gou, while the others were responsible for protecting Yue Feng's safety.

Five fully armed soldiers are already a force to be reckoned with. Looking at the personnel in their current positions, there are at least a dozen of them in total.

Could this be the size of a class?
A hint of doubt lingered in his mind, but Yue Feng skillfully concealed it and continued, "Comrade Li Fei, what were your main responsibilities after we arrived, according to your orders?"

"We'll be responsible for your safety and provide all necessary living support! We've set up professional military tents in the forest, and the supplies for mountain living are basically ready!"

Hearing this, Yue Feng felt even more awkward.

The argument about protecting security is not wrong, but the soldiers who boarded the plane with us also prepared tents and other supplies.

This raises an obvious problem: if Ye Jianjun was in charge of the entire process, he couldn't possibly have arranged two groups of people and prepared two sets of overlapping supplies.

Yue Feng nodded and continued, "Do we have any ways to contact the outside world? And how do we communicate with the outside world after we achieve our goals?"

Li Fei: "The nearest town is about 30 kilometers away. In an emergency, we can send a team down the mountain to deliver a message! A helicopter will come to pick us up in a few hours at most!"

Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, I understand! Help us settle in first! We two are a bit dizzy, and the hunting dog and eagle also need to adjust! It will all take time!"

"Okay! Follow me, we've set up your tents! But it might be a bit cramped, conditions are limited!"

"No problem, as long as there's a place to sleep, that's fine!" Yue Feng nodded and quickly followed Li Fei to the tent area.

During the journey, Yue Feng kept a close watch on his surroundings. He pitched his tent in the woods, on a sunny slope.

In September, the temperature on the mountain is a little low in the morning and evening, but there is still some time before the leaves begin to fall. Overall, it is not difficult to spend the night on the mountain. You can even make a fire in the open and spend the night there.

The group arrived at the location of the tent that had been set up, and Yue Feng glanced around.

To the left and right of the empty tent, there were two other tents, with signs of fire burning downwind.

Judging from the activities of the people around them, Li Fei and his group must have been here for a while.

The other party just said they came to set up camp three days in advance, but based on Yue Feng's experience, three days wouldn't leave so many traces. The path formed by trampling feels like it would take at least a week or even longer.

Yue Feng and his six companions entered the tent and glanced around.

This is a standard five-person tent, but it only contains two sets of moisture-proof mats, blankets, and other items. The tent's standard does not match the number of people.

"Why are there still mats for other people?" Yue Feng asked casually.

"I'm so sorry, this was our oversight. I'll have my team send over a few sets of mats later!" Li Fei apologized repeatedly.

"No need, no need, it's not cold, this will do!" Yue Feng waved his hand to change the subject.

“We’re a bit tired. Let’s rest for a while, and then we can have a meeting to discuss the rest when we have dinner tonight, okay?” Yue Feng asked casually.

"No problem! Do you need food prepared for the eagle and the hounds?"

"Yes, my dog ​​has wolf blood and only eats meat. As for the eagle, it needs fresh flesh and blood!"

"Okay, I'll have the team catch some rabbits or roe deer to have on hand!"

"Yes! I'm sorry to have troubled you!"

"It's a minor issue. We've given orders from above. Feel free to let us know if you have any needs!"

"Okay! We'll take a break first. You guys go ahead with your work. Let us know if we need anything!"

……

Yue Feng took off his bag and shoes, and sat down on the cushion looking extremely tired.

Li Fei turned and left the tent. Xiao Tao and the other soldiers also completely relaxed, put their packs aside, and sat on the ground.

Yue Feng listened intently to the sounds outside the tent, and heard Li Fei's footsteps slowly fading into the distance.

"You guys must have been temporarily assigned here, right? What's your name?" Yue Feng greeted them casually.

"Captain, we're on leave this time, free to go out as we please. Code name: Zero One!!"

"I am Zero Two!!"

"I am Number 03!"

……

Well, Yue Feng frowned again after asking that question.

These five seemingly capable and quiet soldiers were not on a normal mission, but on leave!

This means that the existence of these five people is not recorded in any mission or operation, or in other words, if any risks or problems arise, the military will not acknowledge it.

Yue Feng nodded: "We'll be working together for the next period of time. Please give me your guidance!"
Nothing much to do today. Everyone can just stay in the tents and recover their strength. We can discuss the specifics of the environmental survey tomorrow!

"Ok!"

"Xiao Tao, come outside with me to pee!"

"I don't... Okay, let's go together!" Xiao Tao was about to say he didn't need to pee, but seeing Yue Feng's look, he immediately swallowed the rest of his words.

The two brothers climbed off the sleeping mat, then lifted the tent flap and walked toward a large tree not far away.

As he walked, Yue Feng discreetly observed his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.

Outside the tent next to it, a soldier was standing guard, and a little further away, someone was squatting on a tree branch.

"What's going on, Feng? Something feels off!"

Xiao Tao and Yue Feng walked to the tree, took out their treasures, and while running water, they whispered to each other in low voices.

Yue Feng nodded: "I also feel that something is wrong!"
Judging from the traces around the camp, it's definitely been more than three days; the ground has been worn into small paths! Li Fei just told me it's been three days; he must have lied!

Moreover, the number of tents and bedding doesn't match! If this was arranged by Brother Jun himself, such a basic mistake would never have happened!
From now on, you need to be on your guard at all times. Besides the two of us and the five other people who boarded the plane together, don't believe a word anyone else says!

"The problem is, would the soldier lie to us? The plane brought us here, so it must have been properly coordinated!" Xiao Tao scratched his head with his left hand.

"Grandpa Wu taught us that we must always be quick-witted, first assume there is a problem, and then eliminate the problem little by little, instead of blindly trusting anyone!"

"Yes, that's right! I'll do whatever you say!" Xiao Tao nodded.

"Let's go back first. When we have a chance to go out for a stroll with those five soldiers, we can test their situation again!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Tao shook himself off, then pulled up his pants and went back to the tent with Yue Feng and his brother.

Yue Feng didn't sleep well last night, as he was traveling by car and plane, and he's in a bad state right now.

I don't know the current situation, but since there are no safety issues for the time being, I went back to the tent, opened the ventilation windows at the front and back, and lay down on the sleeping mat with my luggage as a pillow to rest.

Before we knew it, several hours had passed.

Yue Feng was woken up by Li Fei's teammates; it was time for dinner!

Dinner was quite plentiful; a pot of canned beef, compressed biscuits, and freshly gathered wild vegetables were cooked together, with a considerable amount of roe deer meat also mixed in.

After having dinner with everyone, Yue Feng inquired about more details before it even got dark.

"Captain Li Fei, do we have a map of the area? This is my first time here, and I'm not familiar with the terrain!"

Li Fei: "Yes, our logistics soldiers have searched the surrounding terrain and drawn up a topographic map. I'll show it to you!"

"it is good!"

Soon, a neatly handmade map was handed to Yue Feng.

Looking at the surrounding mountains on the map, the area we are currently in consists of common hills and ridges, without a single decent mountain peak, let alone the cliffs where the legendary hanging sheep like to roam.

"Aren't there any cliff-like terrains around?" Yue Feng asked.

"No! There are definitely no cliffs within a five-kilometer radius!"

"So, did you choose this location for your forward base yourself, or was it assigned by your superiors?"
Also, if I may ask, do you know what we're going to do up the mountain?

Li Fei shook his head: "This location was chosen by the captain when the first batch of planes brought us here. This is the only suitable place to land and set up camp in the surrounding area."

As for the specifics of your work, it wasn't mentioned above, and we can't ask!

The only order is to obey your and your teammates' commands and ensure logistical support!

Hearing this, Yue Feng's vigilance eased slightly.

If it were just a regular logistics team, it would be understandable, since things like the "Hanging Sheep" are too sensitive. From the Ye family's perspective, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

However, there is still a question: if no one tells them the whereabouts of the hanging sheep, how long will it take them to find it in the vast mountains with just their few pairs of flesh and blood?

"Number One, did you give them the mission location before you set off?" Yue Feng turned to the silent Number One beside him and asked.

Number One: "There's a mission location! But you're only to be informed of it to you and your team members; keep it a secret from everyone else!"

"Okay, we'll discuss this further later! I have a general understanding of the situation. For the next period of time, we may need to work side by side. I hope we can cooperate well!"

We're going to set off up the mountain to search tomorrow morning, so we need to make breakfast at 5 a.m.!
Also, these team members will all be setting off together, so I'll have to trouble you guys to take care of the night watch!

There are many wild animals on the mountain. It's currently peak season for bears to fatten up for winter, so they haven't gone into their dens yet. Everyone on guard duty, please be careful. Don't let your guard down if you hear any suspicious shadows or sounds!

Li Fei: "Don't worry about that, just leave it to us!"

Yue Feng: That's about it for now. The meeting ends here for now! We need to get up early tomorrow, so we'll head back to our tents to rest!

"Let me know if you need anything!"

"it is good!"

……

Soon, Yue Feng, Xiao Tao, and the five people who accompanied them returned to the tent.

Yue Feng directed the lighting of the acetylene lamp and its hanging at the door, then began questioning Number One.

"Number One, you saw the map before it got dark. How far is the mission location from now?" Yue Feng asked.

Number One replied, "Based on the surrounding terrain features, the core location of the mission is about twenty kilometers away from here! If we set off early tomorrow morning and proceed at full speed, we should be able to reach the vicinity by evening!"

"Twenty kilometers of mountain trails in a day? That's a bit too difficult, isn't it? I'm asking if you're carrying your own equipment and weight!"

Number One: "I'm talking about the speed of marching with a load! If we weren't carrying any loads, a few of us could walk fifty kilometers a day!"

Moving northwest for about six kilometers from where we are now, there's an abandoned, wood-lined road that can make the journey easier!

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with deep admiration.

Soldiers are soldiers, after all. Yue Feng and Xiao Tao know how efficient it is to march in the mountains. If they were to carry so much weight, they would be exhausted if they could only walk 10 kilometers a day.

"How long can we survive on the mountain if we don't replenish our supplies?" Yue Feng continued to ask.

Number One grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "There's no shortage of food on the mountain in autumn, and we all have wilderness survival experience."

The food carried in our packs should last us ten days without much trouble, and we can replenish our food reserves by hunting anytime, anywhere! As long as there's a water source, we can drink! (End of Chapter)
