In addition to focusing mainly on practicing shooting, Zhang Heng also did not fall behind in skiing. However, the latter did not go so smoothly. Although Simon's skiing skills are good, they are far inferior to her shooting skills, and her current injuries are not healed yet. She was very agile and couldn't exercise strenuously, so most of the time she could only sit quietly and watch Zhang Heng practice by himself.
Maggie only stayed for two days, and then she couldn't bear the boring translation work and ran away.
Fortunately, the communication between Zhang Heng and Simon was basically limited to study. Even if they didn't understand the language, they could still understand roughly through gestures later on. Of course, the two of them remained silent most of the time.
Zhang Heng was practicing his marksmanship on one side, while Simon was watching on the other side.
Snowflakes fell from the treetops and landed on the tip of her nose, making her sneeze.
…………
In addition, Zhang Heng discovered that Simon had also begun to learn English. She asked Maggie to be her teacher, and the first sentence she learned was "Can you kiss me?"
When Zhang Heng got up and brushed his teeth in the morning, he almost swallowed the mouthwash when he heard these words. Later he realized that what Simon wanted to say was just good morning, and Maggie was deliberately teasing her.
Zhang Heng had thought about learning Finnish before. After all, being able to communicate with others freely is not a bad thing.
However, Finnish has few consonants, long words, rich vowels, and very complex grammar. It is one of the few unpopular languages that is extremely difficult to learn. And he is in a different situation from the last dungeon. He must improve his shooting and skiing as soon as possible. Skills, not so much time to spend on language learning.
Of course, although systematic learning is unlikely, some commonly used words can still be briefly learned, especially tactical terms such as fire, ceasefire, retreat, cover, and some words that appear more frequently in daily life... Zhang Heng did not expect to be able to form a complete sentence, as long as he could express his meaning and be understood by others, which simplified the learning difficulty a lot.
So now the busiest person in the camp is Maggie. She has to teach Simon English on one side and teach someone Finnish on the other.
However, Zhang Heng did have a very fulfilling life during this period. He has gone from being a layman who has never touched a gun to now having a certain shooting accuracy. At the same time, he can also travel through the woods on a sled. The progress is quite big, although There is no comparison with real guerrillas, but Maggie came to see him a few times and was amazed by his speed of progress.
This is of course inseparable from Simon's unabashed guidance, but Zhang Heng doesn't know if it's because he has practiced archery before. He actually has some talent in aiming. It's a pity that he wants to stay here and combine shooting and shooting. His wish to reach level 1 in skiing before going out was destined to fail. On the thirteenth day after he arrived at the guerrilla camp, what was supposed to happen still happened.
Simon's injury was almost healed. In fact, if it weren't for taking care of Zhang Heng, she might have left the camp two or three days earlier. It was just to give someone more training time that she stayed a little longer.
However, that day the guerrillas received news from nearby villagers that a Soviet troop was marching in a hurry not far from them. Captain Mustache summoned all the guerrillas in the camp to eat the Soviet troop. Naturally, no one had any idea about this. Opinion, Simon also filed an application for action.
Zhang Heng did not attend this military meeting, but he could feel the excitement of the guerrillas around him. They wiped their weapons again and again, checked their backpacks, and gathered together to discuss something. The atmosphere in the camp was obviously different. Even lunch was much richer than usual, and Simon told someone in the broken English he had just learned from Maggie that they had a mission.
Zhang Heng also replied to Simon with a "good" sentence in the same broken Finnish.
After eating, the two went to Ojedo to get bullets and four days of dry food. In addition, Zhang Heng also received a camouflage uniform so that he no longer had to wear a khaki Soviet military uniform that looked like a living target.
It is certainly impossible to say that I am not nervous at all now.
After all, he is about to go to the battlefield. Unlike the Finnish guerrillas around him, Zhang Heng has no grudges or conflicts of interest with the Soviet soldiers. However, the two sides will soon meet each other. Perhaps this is the cruelty of war. Every day Everyone involved is caught up in the current of the times and cannot help themselves.
Zhang Heng stuffed personal hygiene products and a roll of hemostatic bandages into his backpack, separated from the dried meat and vegetables inside. Simon was still a little worried about his mental state. He kept peeking at someone while packing things, but after looking at It was not much different from her usual training, and she gradually relaxed.
Zhang Heng knew very well that this was not a warm study, or a library filled with sunshine in the afternoon, where he could sit quietly on the sofa and reflect on humanities. Once on the battlefield, except for the once-in-a-millennium death of Desmond Dawes, Come on, most people only have two choices.
- Kill or be killed.
It has nothing to do with morality, just for survival.
Zhang Heng put his skis and M28 on his back. Simon was already standing outside the door waiting for him. He hesitated for a moment after seeing someone, and then gave him a short hug of less than a second with some clumsy movements, and opened his mouth to bite him. Tongue said, "Don't worry, I will protect you."
This feeling was a bit strange, after all, this was the first time in Zhang Heng's life that he heard a girl say such things to him, and what was even more strange was that he found it difficult to refute, so in the end he could only nod his head and said, "Me too. "
The two of them did not set off with other guerrillas in the camp, because Simon had always been used to acting alone. When she was a child, she was alone when hunting in the mountains. After joining the guerrillas, she did not form a team with anyone else. This time, she was trying to save Zhang Heng for the first time. designated the latter as his partner.
But she still didn't know how to get along with others, and just kept walking in front, keeping about one meter between them.
Just like that, at night, Zhang Heng called Simon and started preparing dinner. After living on a desert island for a year and a half, his cooking skills have improved, especially when handling simple ingredients, he often performs unexpectedly well. So he took the initiative to light a fire and took on the responsibility of cooking.
Simon was stunned when he saw the bonfire. He didn't know what he thought of, and his face turned red. He was just staying there quietly at first, but now he became a little restless, so he gestured to Zhang Heng to patrol around.
This is actually not a good excuse. They had just left the base camp and were still quite far away from the Soviet army. Apart from the reindeer leaping past in the deep woods, there were probably no other creatures within a radius of dozens of miles, but maybe that was the reason. It was because of this that Simon felt even more embarrassed.
