My Military Career in a Parallel World

"Could there be some wild animals in the forest?!" Jiang Chen had been distractedly thinking about the sentry post and was not sure if he had seen it wrong.

It is not several decades later. Although many villages have organized clearing of wild animals in the jungle in previous years, where they are now, there is not even a ghost within a ten-mile radius, let alone the village. There is no guarantee that there may not be some wild animals hiding in the forest.

Not to mention all kinds of snakes, we encounter them several times every once in a while during this period. Li Gang said that when they were training in the wild before, they also encountered large wild animals such as leopards and black bears.

This is not a big deal. If you go deeper, you may encounter wolves and pythons six or seven meters long.

Li Gang often reminded them to be careful at night and not to leave the camp too far alone to avoid any danger.

Perhaps because he was afraid that some people would not take his words to heart, Li Gang also gave everyone a lot of popular science knowledge about wild animals.

Especially regarding pythons and poisonous snakes, the new recruits were so scared that they were trembling with fear every time they passed by grass and bushes, fearing that a snake would suddenly appear from somewhere.

Li Gang was not talking nonsense. The jungles in the south are not like those in the north. There are not so many large animals.

For example, tigers, brown bears and other super-large wild animals that human power cannot contend with.

However, various poisonous snakes and pythons can be seen everywhere.

The Burmese python is one of the most common pythons in the south. It is widely distributed in southern provinces of my country. It is huge in size and is one of the six largest snakes in the world.

The body length may not be comparable to that of the legendary anaconda which can grow to more than ten meters, but lengths of more than five or six meters are very common, and some can even reach eight or nine meters or nearly ten meters.

Although Li Gang said that the Burmese python is gentle in nature and generally will not actively attack humans, but who can say for sure about this thing?

With such a large body, just lying on the ground without moving is scary enough.

Thinking in his mind, Jiang Chen stood up and pulled the time back to half an hour ago.

Jiang Chen was very confident about his eyesight, which was one of the few areas where he had some talent.

Especially in terms of dynamic vision, he was already in his thirties in his previous life, but when he first came into contact with a battle royale game, he showed extraordinary talent.

Most of the time, as long as there is an object moving within his field of vision, even if it is just a very slight movement, Jiang Chen can usually react quickly.

Taking advantage of this, Jiang Chen, who is already in his thirties, has often flirted with young girls in the game. Coupled with his good looks, Jiang Chen inexplicably has an uncle-like vibe, and there are actually young girls who are willing to make friends with him.

……

Jiang Chen dragged the progress bar and looked at it several times, but he still couldn't figure out what was moving outside the camp.

Here we have to talk about the flaw of his golden finger.

Just as a person cannot imagine a scene he has never seen, a place he has never been to cannot be materialized in the dream space.

Jiang Chen could detect movement in the woods surrounding the camp because he had "seen" these things himself, so he could materialize them in his dreams.

After trying a few more times, Jiang Chen still couldn't see the objects moving in the forest clearly. He could only keep this matter in mind for the time being and plan to observe it more carefully when he was on guard.

At one o'clock in the morning, Jiang Chen got up on time to change shifts.

"Qiangzi, did you see anything unusual just now?" Jiang Chen asked casually when handing over the post.

Li Qiang laughed, rubbed his red eyes, and replied weakly: "What's abnormal? I just heard the buzzing of mosquitoes."

"Okay, go back and rest quickly, we still have to travel tomorrow." Jiang Chen just asked casually and didn't hold much hope.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Watching Li Qiang leave, Jiang Chen stood upright on the surface, but in fact his eyes were always looking into the woods on both sides.

The jungle was silent at night. Apart from the snoring of the comrades, the only sounds were the chirping of various insects.

In the second half of the night, the cold wind in the mountains and fields penetrated people. Even if they were wearing long-sleeved camouflage clothes, the cold wind with a hint of chill still whizzed into their clothes.

The cold wind blew through the grass outside the camp, making a rustling sound.

After staring for such a long time and not finding anything wrong, Jiang Chen gradually relaxed his vigilance.

I just thought that there was some animal moving around in the woods before, and it should have left after such a long time.

After putting down the things that were weighing on his mind, Jiang Chen's thoughts began to drift away involuntarily.

At 2:05 in the morning, Sun Weichen came out of the tent, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Brother Chen, go back and rest."

Jiang Chen stretched his stiff body and replied casually, "Well, it's a bit cold at night. Be careful and don't catch a cold."

As he jumped down the slope, the flashlight tucked under his armpit began to flicker and shone onto a bunch of half-man-high bushes at the edge of the valley behind him.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen paused abruptly, his brows gradually furrowed. Although it was only a fleeting moment, he keenly sensed that something seemed to have moved.

Glancing at the bushes beside him, there was no sign of wind, and Jiang Chen's vigilance, which had originally been relaxed, was raised again.

Jiang Chen shone the flashlight in the direction he had just been in. He squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, but still found nothing. There was only an ordinary shrub and nothing else.

"Did I see it wrong?"

Jiang Chen hesitated again, but when he thought of his previous discovery in the dream, he always had a bad feeling.

He held up the flashlight and scanned the edge of the valley. Although he still didn't see anything, Jiang Chen's inexplicable feeling became even stronger.

A sense of being spied on by something lingered in my mind for a long time.

It's not that he was suspicious. If this happened in the recruit camp, he would go back to sleep without saying a word. Even if the sky fell, there would be someone taller to hold it up. How could a new recruit like him be more powerful than the veterans of the guard company and the police detective company?

However, this is the wilderness, there is no one else within a ten-mile radius of the desolate mountains and hills except them, what if there is something hiding nearby?

Moreover, Jiang Chen had a vague feeling that what he had just seen was more like a human than a wild animal...

"Brother Chen, why don't you go back to sleep? What are you looking at? What's so interesting in this damn place?" Sun Weichen, who was standing aside, yawned. Seeing Jiang Chen staring at the mountain, he asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just had to pee urgently, so I was going to find a place to pee. I can't just pee around, or you'll be suffocated to death at night." Jiang Chen made up an excuse and said perfunctorily.

"Hehe, Brother Chen, you are the one who has thought it through. If there were Feizai and the others nearby, they would definitely have attacked directly." Sun Weichen smiled foolishly, touching the back of his head.

"Okay, just stand guard and I'll go to the bathroom and leave."

Jiang Chen untied his belt as he spoke, wanting to get as close as possible to get a closer look.

On the valley floor, Zhang Pengfei, who was lying in the grass next to a bush, started to panic as he watched Jiang Chen getting closer.

Just now, he was suddenly illuminated by the flashlight, and his body moved subconsciously, accidentally touching the bushes next to him.

I thought it was nothing serious, just a new recruit, how could I notice such small details?

result……

"Damn, is this kid so sharp-eyed?!" Zhang Pengfei cursed in his heart, and quickly held his breath, staring at Jiang Chen's every move.

As Jiang Chen got closer, Zhang Pengfei's body gradually tensed up, and his right hand holding the rubber stick clenched subconsciously.

"Brother Chen, have you finished peeing? Come over and push me. I want to go to the toilet too!" Sun Weicheng didn't feel anything when he just came out of the tent, but after being blown by the cold wind in the mountains and what Jiang Chen said just now, he inexplicably felt the urge to pee.

Moreover, he could not hold back the urge to pee once it came on, and he was so anxious that he clamped his legs together and jumped up and down on the spot. It looked like if Jiang Chen went a little later, he might have peed in his pants.

"Here it comes, here it comes!" After peeing, he still didn't find anything wrong. Coupled with the urging voice behind him, Jiang Chen had no choice but to give up and walked back with the flashlight.

Not only Zhang Pengfei, but also several veteran scouts beside him breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Jiang Chen leave.

The leading man in black glared at Zhang Pengfei fiercely. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have wanted to go up and hit this guy twice.

Zhang Pengfei naturally also saw the fierce look in his squad leader's eyes. While secretly groaning, he also took a heavy grudge against Jiang Chen in his heart.

"Mm, my good deed was almost ruined by a rookie!

Just wait for me, I will take good care of you later!"

Having made up his mind, Zhang Pengfei stared at Jiang Chen's departing back through the bushes. After confirming the location of his tent, he withdrew his gaze.

Half past two in the morning.

A puff of green smoke slowly rose from the edge of the woods above the camp and moved towards the camp below under the breeze.

"The time has come, everyone get ready!"

The man in black, who had been paying attention to the time, turned his head and whispered.

Upon hearing this, the others immediately took action and quickly put on the gas masks hanging around their necks.

After confirming that everyone was ready, the leading man in black took out a smoke bomb from his arms and pulled the ring on top.

A very light blue smoke slowly floated out of the chimney.

This is a special anesthetic gas. It does not come out in an instant like ordinary smoke bombs, but diffuses very slowly.

And, because it’s heavier than air, it’s perfect for releasing from high altitudes.

When choosing a location, everyone would try to choose an upwind location so that the cold night wind could help the anesthetic smoke spread faster.

At the same time, the dark night is also the best cover, which can effectively conceal the movement of smoke spreading.

This type of anesthetic gas is mostly used in indoor combat. In a closed and narrow environment, just inhaling a certain amount of gas can make a person lose consciousness instantly.

Although its effect in the wild is not as good as imagined and it will not make people fall into a coma directly, it can paralyze the nerves and make people's movements and reactions slow.

When the first puff of green smoke rose, a similar situation occurred almost simultaneously above the entire camp. Countless smoke slowly spread and gathered together, spreading towards the camp below.

On the other side, in the camp, although Jiang Chen returned to the tent and lay down early, he was still thinking about what happened before.

What happened tonight was so bizarre that it was hard not to be suspicious.

Jiang Chen didn't even have the mood to continue training. He just stood in the dream space, repeatedly watching the scene of the previous shift change, trying to find the hidden problems in it.

At this moment, Jiang Chen, who was in a dream, suddenly felt dizzy. If he had not reacted in time, he would have almost fallen into the grass in front of him.

"What's going on?!" Jiang Chen was stunned at first, then he looked up at the sky in confusion.

Then a hint of sweet smell entered my brain through my nose, and the inexplicable feeling of dizziness just now came over me again.

The time flow rate between dreams and reality is ten to one, which gives Jiang Chen enough time to react.

"No, there's something wrong!"

Jiang Chen woke up from his dream immediately. Without even opening his eyes, he reached out to the bag containing the gas mask placed beside the tent.

At the same time, the moment Jiang Chen shouted, there was movement in Li Gang's tent not far away. A sharp and piercing whistle was blown, and the originally quiet camp suddenly became lively.

When a new recruit heard the whistle, he instinctively wanted to get up, but his legs went weak before he could stand firmly and he fell to the ground again.

"Enemy attack! Everyone wear gas masks!"

After Jiang Chen put on his gas mask, he immediately ran out of the tent and shouted loudly to warn others.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

The anesthetic smoke in the air has gradually taken effect. Although it will not cause people to fall into coma directly, dizziness, weakness and other symptoms are inevitable.

In the valley, the 'criminals' who originally wanted to wait a little longer for the anesthetic gas to completely disperse and take effect before taking action no longer hid after hearing the whistle coming from the camp.

One after another, black figures appeared above the col. While the recruits were still in chaos and had not yet recovered, several smoke bombs containing small amounts of gas flew over from all directions.

bang~

The smoke bomb exploded, releasing a large amount of gas in an instant, covering the entire camp.

Unlike previous anesthetic gases, the gas released by smoke bombs containing a small amount of gas is somewhat irritating.

The recruits who were unable to wake up immediately due to the anesthetic smoke crawled out of the tent one after another.

Their minds were in a mess and they were still shouting: "What's going on? What happened?"

"Why is there so much smoke? Is there a fire?"

"Damn, why is this smoke so choking!"

The camp was in chaos, with coughing, cursing, and the shouting of squad leaders filling the air.

Jiang Chen, who had already put on a gas mask, naturally noticed the dark shadow above the camp at the first moment. Then, looking at the smoke bombs thrown down from the mountain and the reactions of Li Gang and several squad leaders next to him, how could he not guess what was going on.

There is no doubt that this must be the work of that idiot company commander!!!
