50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 182 To Have a Peaceful Lunch
It was not yet noon when we returned to the farm, and Lin Weiguo had already gone out to look for someone.

Sun Zhiwei had no choice but to take out the big bathtub from his home, put the frogs in the basket into the basin, sprinkle some water on it, find a large wooden board to cover it, and then turn back up the mountain.

This time, he found a new route, went up the mountain from another stream, and continued his morning activities. At noon, he picked up half a basket and stopped to rest.

At this time he had already arrived in the forest. Because it was close to the water source, there were many wild animals nearby. From time to time, small animals such as mountain rabbits, pheasants, wild deer, flying dragons, etc. passed through the forest.

Seeing the fresh ingredients, he was no longer interested in eating dry food.

He first found a short tree and hung the basket of snow clams up. There were many animals in the mountains, so he should not go out to find food by himself and let the spoils be eaten by wild animals.

Then he sorted out the equipment he had brought, which included a 56 rifle, a box of bullets, a knife, a machete, a roll of rope and a seasoning packet.

He threw the bullet box, knife, rope and other miscellaneous items into the space, and with only the 56 in his hand, he began to walk into the forest with his back hunched.

Soon he found a nest of pheasants in the bushes. Pheasants are gregarious animals, and there can be quite a few pheasants in a nest.

They usually form a relatively stable group with other female pheasants centered around a male pheasant.

Sun Zhiwei just wanted to make lunch and had no intention of killing any chickens. He carefully approached the flock of chickens, used his space to collect two female pheasants, and then quickly retreated.

Returning to his previous resting place, he immediately lit a fire, then went to the water's edge, took out the pheasant from the space, cut off the chicken's head with a knife, and began to bleed it.

If the chicken blood is not released and solidifies in the chicken, the chicken will taste strange and will not be suitable for grilling.

After the chicken blood is released, remove the feathers and internal organs. The remaining meat weighs only about one or two pounds. After the two chickens are cleaned up and the fire is burning, it is just right for roasting the chicken.

He was roasting the chicken over the fire, sprinkling seasoning on it.

This was the supply Lin Weiguo prepared for him to go up the mountain. The seasoning was prepared by the farm chef. When sprinkled on the chicken, it gave off a peculiar aroma.

As the chicken was roasting, the aroma of it began to spread. While he was waiting, he realized something was wrong.

I don't know when the surroundings became silent. The forest was once noisy with all kinds of animals making a lot of noise, but now even the birds were silent.

Sun Zhiwei's current location is not far from the river. To the northeast is a stream, the deepest part of which is more than 1 meter deep. To the south is a forest, which is seven or eight meters away from the stream.

There was a fire between them, and Sun Zhiwei knew that a predator was approaching. He carefully picked up the 56 semi-automatic rifle, turned on the safety, and began to slowly retreat towards the stream.

He couldn't care less about the pheasant on the fire now; he had to find out where the enemy was first.

There are a lot of large wild animals in the Northeast now. If he gets ambushed and loses his life, he will become a laughing stock among time travelers.

The water in the river is shallow and you can see the bottom at a glance. It is the safest direction. Although there is open space on both sides, it is only nearby. There is a forest 20 meters away.

The nearest forest was to the northwest, but he could not see where the enemy was with his naked eyes.

He quickly used the space to start scanning the forest. After a scan, he only found some small animals hiding in the bushes and shivering. He still couldn't find the predator.

This is very embarrassing. Is it still very far away?
His space has not grown for many years and has remained at a little over 5 cubic meters.

By changing the spatial dimensions and adding an operating distance of 10 meters, he was able to detect everything within a 50-meter radius, but still found nothing.

Don't underestimate the distance of 50 meters. Take the commonly used Type 67 wooden-handled grenade, for example. Each grenade weighs 1 jin (2 jin). In combat, due to factors like throwing posture, the average soldier can only throw it 50 to meters. Even in daily training under safe conditions, a veteran throwing with optimal posture and maximum force can only reach meters at best.

When new recruits throw a grenade for the first time, most of them can only throw it about ten to twenty meters. This is the reality.

In modern armies, the standard for grenade throwing training is 30 meters to pass and 50 meters to be excellent. This is not just our standard, but the standard for all countries in the world.

At 50 meters away, an adult will become the size of a finger joint, and ordinary soldiers can only aim at the torso when shooting with a rifle, otherwise the hit rate will be terribly low.

He didn't think any wild beast could scare its prey into trembling from 50 meters away.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and cast his gaze towards the treetops.

He used the space again, and this time, he focused on searching the tree. Soon, he finally found the enemy.

It was a very large leopard, more than two meters long including its tail. It had a slender body and the copper coin pattern on its skin allowed it to hide well in the woods.

In fact, it is on a tree at the edge of the forest, but the color of its fur is mixed with that of the leaves, so it is not easy to be found as long as it does not move.

Seeing that the pheasant on the fire was almost burnt, Sun Zhiwei could no longer wait. He slowly raised the 56 semi-automatic rifle and took aim.

With a "bang" of a gunshot, the Far Eastern leopard fell down and fell to the ground from the treetop.

The wild animals around were frightened by the gunshot, and then there was a chaos.

The small animals fled from the vicinity one after another, and the birds in the trees flapped their wings in fright, and the whole forest suddenly became empty.

Sun Zhiwei ignored the falling leopard. He saw clearly that the leopard was shot in the eyebrow and was deader than dead.

He quickly rushed to the fire and snatched the pheasant off the fire. After a careful inspection, he found that only the surface was partially burnt. It was exactly the right temperature, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Only after confirming that the pheasant was fine did he remember to deal with the leopard.

He took out a rope and walked to the leopard's body. He tied the rope to the leopard's tail, hung it head down and tail up on a thick branch, and then cut its neck to let the blood flow.

This will take quite a while, so he can take this opportunity to kill the pheasants.

Half an hour later, after lunch was finished and the leopard's blood was drained, he put the leopard into the space.

He spent another two hours in the afternoon collecting a full basket of snow clams before returning home.

When he got near the farm, he took out the leopard and put it on his shoulder, and then carried the basket in one hand and walked into the farm gate.

Along the way, his exaggerated outfit attracted many people to look at him. Although no one knew him, seeing him in his military uniform and carrying a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, they knew he was not an outsider.

The farm guards won't let outsiders in with weapons.

After Sun Zhiwei entered the farm, he didn't know who to give this thing to, so he simply carried it directly to the regiment headquarters.
