The Cosmic Age: Subverting the Universe

Chapter 14 Becoming Captain

Su Che was in a really good mood. He couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the wolf meat in front of him. There is strength in numbers. The wolf meat is enough for them to live comfortably for a few days. Moreover, the wolves would not attack again in a short time under the shock of the rifles. He thought that if only he and Luo Luo were besieged by such a wolf pack, the consequences would be disastrous. If Luo Luo's delicate body was injured, he would be heartbroken.

Thinking of this, Su Che suddenly asked curiously: "Lolo, why are you so good at shooting?" Qin Luoluo smiled proudly and said proudly: "I am the shooting champion of Yanjing Shooting Club!"

Su Che was shocked. He didn't expect Luo Luo to have such a background. He quickly praised: "Awesome, awesome, really hidden talent!" Qin Luo Luo smiled proudly.

"Okay, everyone, get moving immediately. Take everything that smells of blood and follow me to the river to deal with it." Su Che gave a brief and powerful order.

By the river, they were busy dealing with the wolf carcasses. Su Che knew that if these bloody things were not dealt with in time, it would likely attract more wild animals. So, they simply processed the wolf meat and threw all the bloody things into the river to let the flowing water wash away the smell.

In order to ensure that the wolf meat can be preserved for a longer time, Su Che put the processed wolf meat into a sealed bag, which can effectively isolate the smell. He also sprinkled some preservatives on it. Although he knew that this thing would affect health, it was good enough to be full now. Survival was their top priority at the moment.

After returning to the camp, Su Che took out some wolf meat and asked his teammates to cut it into very thin slices. They put the slices of meat in boiling water and ate them immediately. Although this way of eating is a bit primitive, it is the safest and most practical way to eat in the current environment. Although raw meat can be eaten directly, considering hygiene and safety issues, they still chose to process it slightly.

Su Che knew that if they dared to roast wolf meat, the aroma would likely attract more ferocious beasts, such as a group of lions. Although they had guns, each of them only had 60 rounds of bullets. The shooting skills of ordinary team members were not accurate, and it was already very good if they could hit one out of ten bullets. With such consumption, if they encountered two similar attacks again, their guns would become empty shells and lose their protective function.

They had to wait for Lotte's return. Su Che would never abandon his teammates, but he was not sure when Lotte would return. In order to reduce the risk as much as possible, they needed to ensure that the camp did not bleed and reduce unnecessary losses. This was the only thing he could do at the moment.

Su Che looked at his watch. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. They should have returned by then. He took out his intercom and tried to contact Letian: "Letian, Letian, this is Su Che." However, there was no response from the intercom.

Su Che switched the intercom to satellite signal mode. Although this mode consumed a lot of power, he had no choice at the moment. He tried to call again: "Letian, Letian, this is Su Che." Finally, Letian's voice came from the intercom: "Letian received, Letian received."

Su Che quickly replied: "The poison fog has been resolved for the team members, you should return immediately." Le Tian replied: "Understood, we slipped into the valley while collecting fruits, and now it will take some time to get back."

Su Che said, "Got it." He put down the intercom, knowing that Le Tian and his team would not be able to return before dark. In this case, he no longer waited anxiously, and simply joined his teammates' wolf meat party, enjoying this rare tranquility and relaxation with them.

At nightfall, Su Che and Qin Luoluo sat side by side on the grass. There was silence all around them, except for the occasional roar of wild animals in the distance. The sky gradually became dotted with stars, as if countless eyes were watching the jungle.

Qin Luoluo looked at Su Che and asked curiously, "Why are you waiting for Letian? He took your captain position from the beginning, why are you still waiting for him?" Su Che smiled and replied, "I don't care about the captain position. Compared with others, Letian is indeed very strong, and it is not a bad thing for him to want to lead everyone. On the contrary, if he has the ability but stays in the team, it would be worse."

Qin Luoluo listened to Su Che's analysis and thought it made sense, so she nodded in agreement. Then, she said with concern: "Don't stay up late tonight. There are so many people here. Just leave one person to keep watch. You can recover more strength." Su Che nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing that Su Che agreed so readily, Qin Luoluo said in a teasing tone: "Do you want to sleep with me in my tent?" Su Che was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Yes, of course." Qin Luoluo's face changed when he heard this, and he pulled his ear and said: "Why didn't you set up your own tent yesterday, and sleep in my tent? I saw that you were too sleepy, and I was too lazy to say anything to you. Do you still want to sleep with me today?"

Su Che touched his nose awkwardly and explained, "Then you can sleep alone. It's a waste to set up two tents, and it takes time to clean up." Qin Luoluo snorted and turned away, looking angry. Seeing this, Su Che quickly coaxed, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, isn't it okay? I won't dare to do it next time."

It was not until late at night that Le Tian finally led a team member back to the camp. They had multiple injuries, but fortunately they were only superficial. With the treatment of the medical kit, these injuries were not serious.

"Captain Le Tian, ​​you're back!" The sentry greeted him with a smile, his voice full of joy. Le Tian blushed, waved his hand and said, "Don't call me captain, just call me deputy captain. Su Che is our real captain." After hearing this, the soldier replied respectfully, "Yes, deputy captain."

Letian asked with concern: "Has the poison in the team been eliminated?" The soldier replied: "Yes, everyone is fine now." Letian nodded and said: "Okay, I will take the night shift. When I play games, I can go without sleep for three days. This amount of time is nothing to me. You go and rest."

After replacing the night watchman, Le Tian turned to the teammate who followed him to pick the detoxification fruit and said, "You should go and rest as well." After hearing this, the teammate replied respectfully, "Yes, deputy captain."

It must be said that Le Tian is a very responsible person. Not only did he lead the team to pick the detoxification fruit in a critical moment, but he also took the initiative to take the night duty after returning. If everyone's physical strength is as good as his, maybe they can really run out of the poisonous fog forest in one breath.

When his teammates fell in trouble, Le Tian did not choose to run away alone, but stayed by his teammates and helped them as much as he could. He even put aside his personal face and asked Su Che how to detoxify in order to save his teammates' lives. Such character is truly admirable, which won the respect of his teammates.

Lotte was guarding diligently, occasionally eating some wolf meat, and it seemed that he was living a carefree life in this dangerous jungle. Suddenly, several beams of light flashed in the depths of the jungle, and then they came running towards this side with the sound of hurried footsteps.

Letian immediately became alert. He slapped the tent and shouted, "Everyone get up, something's happening!" The voice echoed in the jungle at night. The sleepy teammates came out of the tent one by one, with sleepiness and confusion on their faces.

Su Che also quickly walked out of the tent. He rubbed his eyes, looked at Le Tian and asked, "What's going on?" Le Tian pointed to the flashing beams of light deep in the jungle and said, "Look over there, there are flashing lights and footsteps. It seems like something is coming this way."
