Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 152 Cramming Teaching

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone on his face through the mist. Ou Yang, who was half asleep and half awake, turned over and raised his arms to cover his eyes.

He knew that it was time to get up, but he tossed and turned like a worm, struggling and urinating, and just didn't want to get up.

It wasn't until he touched something next to him and clapped his hands on it several times that he realized it was a person. Then he sat up suddenly and regained consciousness quickly.

Oh, by the way, I slept in the same bed with Zhu Yiming last night!
There was no restricted content, so Ou Yang lay down again, afraid that he couldn't sleep and didn't want to get up.

The morning in Snow Bear was surprisingly quiet, as if the chaos of last night had never happened at all. Ou Yang dawdled until after eight o'clock before he got up yawning.

Zhu Yiming was still sleeping soundly. Ou Yang ignored him and went downstairs by himself. He was shocked to find that Song Lei was still tied to the chair, but much quieter than yesterday.

Lei Yong and Ma Zhiyuan sat opposite each other, their tired faces full of worry.

Ou Yang paused. "Didn't you two stay up all night?"

Lei Yong curled his lips and said, "I slept for a while."

Ma Zhiyuan nodded: "A little while."

Ou Yang felt something was wrong and walked down hesitantly: "Are you two okay?"

"It's okay, what could happen?" Ma Zhiyuan said.

"There is indeed something!" said Lei Yong.

The two people gave two different answers, looked at each other, and sighed at each other's tacit understanding.

Ou Yang was confused: "Is it there or not?"

"Forget it, you talk to him." Ma Zhiyuan got up and went into the kitchen, tinkering with something.

Lei Yong glanced upstairs and said, "Call Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei down. I have something to say."

Ou Yang was even more puzzled, but he couldn't guess what Lei Yong was up to. He ran upstairs and pushed and knocked on the door. It took a while before he called Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei down.

Three people sat in front of Lei Yong, Ou Yang was nervous, Zhu Yiming was confused, and Jiang Yuwei had no expression on her face.

Lei Yong sighed before he spoke: "You all saw Song Lei's situation. My situation is not much better, so I decided to stay in Snow Bear with Song Lei."

Ou Yang pursed his lips, Jiang Yuwei's eyes were solemn, and Zhu Yiming's yawn, which was halfway through, suddenly froze.

They all knew that separation was inevitable, but they didn't expect it to come so soon and so suddenly.

To be honest, Ou Yang didn't want to separate from the bottom of his heart.

Although they had known each other for a short time, they had experienced a lot together. During this period, Lei Yong took care of her in every possible way.

In Ou Yang's heart, Lei Yong embodies courage, responsibility, commitment and perseverance, and is the person he trusts most besides his parents.

Putting aside emotions, Lei Yong's fighting ability cannot be replaced by anyone else. As long as Lei Yong is there, there is no need to worry about safety issues. When encountering problems, there is no need to think at all. Just follow Lei Yong's arrangements and there will be no problem.

Zhu Yiming shouted, "Brother Lei, it's not time to go to this extent, is it?"

"It's only a matter of time," Lei Yong said. "Lao Ma is in better shape than I am. He will continue to accompany you."

"What about you?" Ou Yang asked, "Stay in Snow Bear?"

"If we don't stay in Snow Bear, where else can we go?" Lei Yong asked. "You guys are all immune, so maybe Lao Mi will let you go. But if we all take off our masks, there's no way Lao Mi will let us go."

Ou, Zhu and Jiang all looked gloomy.

"What do you guys have to say? I'm not dead yet." Lei Yong was unhappy. "I can relax a little without having to take care of you guys. I'll find a way to get some inhibitors. Maybe I can hold on until Lao Mi develops a special medicine. Maybe I can make it through!"

"Brother Lei!" Ou Yang said seriously, "We are not children anymore."

Lei Yong was silent, then smiled: "That's right, I always treat you as children who haven't grown up, and always forget that you are adults."

Having served in the army for many years, he was used to seeing soldiers who followed orders and behaved in a controlled manner, but in his heart, such young people were only slightly more mature.

Young people in society have not been tempered by the army, and are too flamboyant and unrestrained, always giving him a feeling of being childish, naive, and immature.

After some self-reflection, Lei Yong said, "Okay, let's communicate as adults. I've prepared something for you."

The three of them were a little stunned. Isn't this change too abrupt?

"I went out this morning and got you a small RV. It's not as well-equipped, but it's definitely enough. Luckily Snow Bear hasn't completely collapsed yet."

Ou Yang didn't find it strange at all. It turned out that the car hadn't been used for a day and the windshield was broken. Last night, when it drove from the hospital to Jumu Street, it almost blew him to death.

"Also, the backpack has been redesigned. Anything you don't need to bring will be removed. From now on, you only need to distinguish between what you must carry with you and what you must put in the backpack and pick up and go. Everything else can be discarded."

The three of them looked at each other, this change was really big.

Lei Yong introduced it seriously. To put it simply, apart from what you wear, try not to bring any clothes, and only bring a bag of emergency food, as well as an appropriate amount of salt, sugar and high-calorie food.

These things plus spare ammunition are basically all the contents of the backpack.

The only things you must carry with you are your weapons and a survival kit.

"I also found this!" Lei Yong dug out a small gadget. "This thing is called a Geiger counter. It's used to measure radiation."

Using radiation to deal with spores is indeed a good idea, but it is too cruel. Without any detection equipment, you will die as a confused ghost.

"And this!" Lei Yong placed a few more kettles on the table, opened the buckles and took them apart. "Multi-functional kettle, this is a kettle, and these are lunch boxes, you can put them directly on the fire to roast... Oh, and everyone has some rice in their backpacks. Do you know how to cook rice?"

"will not!"

"will not!"

Ou Yang and Zhu Yiming said in unison.

"I can!" Jiang Yuwei said softly, with a little sense of superiority.

Lei Yong sighed, "To put it simply, one part rice and one and a half parts water. If you don't have an electric rice cooker, steam it. If you really don't have the means, you can just fill a bamboo stick with it and cook it directly over fire. Chop up some meat, vegetables, ham, etc. and put them in. You can eat it right after it's done."

Ou Yang picked up the lunch box: "Can I use this?"

"That's OK." Lei Yong had a slight toothache. "But it's a bit troublesome. You have to put the rice in after the water boils, then stir it constantly until the water is completely absorbed by the rice. Pour out the excess soup, then cover it with a lid and simmer on low heat for a while... Don't ask me how long, I've only heard about it and haven't tried it myself."

Ou Yang immediately expressed great doubts about this method.

It’s not that the method doesn’t work, but with such a general introduction, he really doesn’t have the confidence to replicate it.

Not to mention Zhu Yiming, he couldn't even fry an egg. He didn't understand anything from beginning to end.

Even Jiang Yuwei had heard of this method for the first time. After thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't imagine what the rice cooked in this way would look like.

Looking at their expressions, Lei Yong felt even more upset.

Technology has advanced, and kitchen utensils are more practical, but many skills that should be mastered by everyone are now the exclusive domain of only a select few. Only in the military can such primitive cooking methods be preserved. How many children from ordinary families know that rice can be cooked directly over an open flame?
"Try more when you have the chance." Lei Yong just said this.

Flour is the most important staple food for Americans, and rice can only be considered a side dish here.

This place is a Chinese restaurant, so they have a lot of rice stored. After leaving here, although it is not impossible to find rice, it is not that easy either.

He immediately asked, "What about pasta? Who can make it?"

"will not!"

"No!" They said twice in unison, but this time it was Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei.

Ou Yang raised his hand: "I know a little bit."

"Tell me!" Lei Yong actually felt a little relieved.

Ou Yang explained shyly: "Just add flour and water to make a paste, pour it into the pan and fry it into pancakes."

Lei Yong sighed for the umpteenth time: "Okay, I won't do it now, but I will in the future."

Ou, Zhu and Jiang understood the hidden meaning of this sentence and fell silent together.

There was a sound of frying in the kitchen. The three of them looked over and realized at the same time where they should go to learn.

Lei Yong took off his survival kit and opened it: "I wanted to teach you slowly, but I won't have the chance anymore. I can only teach you as much as you can remember!"

After hearing what he said, Ou Yang's mood, which was already not very good, became even worse.

Survival in the wilderness is too far away for people today, but it is a reality that everyone must face. In the wild, a newbie who knows nothing will eventually starve to death even if there are mountains full of resources.

One must master sufficient knowledge to survive in the wild, and this is Lei Yong's goal.

Lei Yong took out the items from his bag one by one. "Medicine, I won't go into detail about that. Salt, a necessity, use it sparingly. Fish hooks, fishing line, razor blades, compass, water purification tablets... I don't need to tell you what these are for, you all know what they are for."

"Here comes the key point. When surviving in the wild, knowing how to start a fire is very important!" Lei Yong took out the lighter from his bag. "This thing is unreliable. Use matches first. They are very important, but matches are not used to start a fire directly. You should light a candle first, and then use the candle to start a fire!"

In order to facilitate storage, all the candles in the survival bag were cut into square shapes, which was very strange.

"There are also batteries. Connect the positive and negative terminals and gently touch them to discharge them. They are very useful with fire starters. Magnesium rods, first scrape off a little, then scrape hard, also work well with fire starters. And magnifying glasses, too."

Ou Yang counted and found that this small survival kit contained five ways to start a fire!

Zhu Yiming asked in confusion: "What is fire starter?"

"Things that are particularly easy to catch fire, such as toilet paper, animal hair, shredded hay, etc., should be collected carefully so that you don't lose them when you need them."

Zhu Yiming suddenly realized: "I understand!"

Lei Yong pulled out a few straight blades and folding knives from his backpack. "When it comes to surviving in the wild, a knife is more important than a gun. Each of you should have a survival knife!"

He picked up a straight knife with a back nearly half a centimeter thick and a blade almost as long as his palm. "You'll need it to chop wood, prepare game, cut food, or even tie it to a stick to make a spear."

"In short, a good knife is essential in the wild. Those fancy things will only cause you trouble. Only a simple knife like this is most suitable... You'll know how to use it when you're in the wild."

"Attention, just like with a gun, the blade should never be pointed at anyone!"

At this point, Lei Yong handed the small straight knife in his hand to Ou Yang, and then picked up a folding knife with a very thick handle. "This Buck 731 is a multi-functional tool knife. It has a knife, pliers, can opener, etc. You can slowly experience its specific functions."

Zhu Yiming asked curiously, "Can't I use this as a survival knife?"

"Believe me, a folding knife can't be used as a survival knife. It's too flimsy."

Zhu Yiming thought this folding knife looked quite sturdy, and he couldn't imagine what kind of environment would damage such a knife.

Lei Yong picked up a utility knife and pushed out the pliers. The retaining spring snapped softly, locking the small pliers.

"I'll teach you a more special way to ignite." Lei Yong pulled out his pistol, took out a bullet, pinched the bullet head with pliers and broke it twice, then removed the bullet head and threw it away. He poured the gunpowder into the plate on the table, left the other half in the cartridge case, and stuffed it with a piece of paper.

Then he stuffed the bullet without the bullet head into the gun, adjusted the angle to the small pile of gunpowder and pulled the trigger.

With a slight sound, a tongue of fire suddenly shot out from the muzzle of the gun, and the gunpowder on the plate ignited instantly, and a column of fire more than ten centimeters high shot up.

That’s right, it’s a pillar of fire, very concentrated.

When Ou Yang was a child, he lit gunpowder removed from firecrackers. He clearly remembered that the flame after the black powder was ignited was very scattered, and the residue after burning was particularly obvious.

There wasn't even a speck of ash left in the dish.

This was the first time he witnessed the burning of smokeless gunpowder, and it was quite unexpected.

Well, this method can be learned in China, except in the military.

"Is it okay to just use blank bullets?" Ou Yang asked.

"No, it's too powerful," Lei Yong said. "If you take a regular bullet apart, it's just the right amount of power, and you can use gunpowder to ignite it."

Blank bullets just don't have bullets, they are not powerless. If the distance is too close, they can even be fatal!

Next, Lei Yong talked about how to deal with prey, how to set traps, how to distinguish directions, how to build temporary residences, how to avoid risks, etc.

But the topic of survival in the wild was so vast and complex that he could only talk about the important things and provide more useful information to Ou Yang and others.

Even so, Ou Yang was still overwhelmed by what he heard.

Not to mention Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei. They could still remember a little at the beginning, but later on they were completely confused and their heads were buzzing.

The teaching session came to a temporary end only when Ma Zhiyuan prepared breakfast.

After dinner, Lei Yong decided to take a break to let Ou Yang and the others rest their brains: "Come on, let's change our minds and learn some combat sign language!"

He spread his palms and raised them to his shoulders: "This is a stop."

He gestured towards Ouyang again: "This also stops."

He raised his right fist to his shoulder: "This means pay attention, something is wrong."

"This is concealed..."

"This is a collection..."

“Lance…”

"pistol……"

"There is a dog..."

"cover……"
