Everyone was searching.
Shouting, yelling, until their throats went hoarse.
Walking, running, until their feet blistered.
Finally, at six o’clock in the morning, they received news—
They had found him.
The person had lost his signal flare, and with a stroke of luck, headed towards his destination. Unfortunately, with a terrible sense of direction, he became lost as he walked.
It wasn’t until after midnight that he gave up struggling and tried to start a fire to call for rescue.
Unexpectedly, his waterproof matches were also lost.
In the end, he managed to start a fire by friction and thus informed the helicopter of his location.
In any case, it was a false alarm.
The person was unharmed.
Hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But by the time the last team got back, it was already ten o’clock in the morning.
Without giving them any time to rest, everyone was hurried onto vehicles and dragged directly back to Base.
On the way, the road was rough, and no one rested well.
Without a helicopter to bring them back, it took even longer to travel.
When they arrived back at Base, it was already five in the afternoon.
They got off the vehicles.
A bunch of people ran out, vomiting vigorously.
It was too bumpy!
Luckily there wasn’t much in their stomachs, otherwise all the vehicles would have been soiled.
From a military Jeep, five Instructors also got out.
Nancy Phillips greeted them and headed straight for the women soldiers’ area.
Nathan Foster and Drake Easton exchanged looks, and after letting the students rest for a few minutes, they planned to gather them.
"I think they’re about to collapse."
Rowdy Brightwill leaned against the door, touching his nose, and as he looked at the students with pale faces and distressed expressions, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for them.
These past few days had been quite taxing.
Especially last night.
Having barely made it back, they had to go back into the jungle for someone else.
Those people, they didn’t sleep the entire night, their energy was exhausted, they ate some dry food and then got on the vehicle.
Rowdy Brightwill had personally experienced the bumpy journey and naturally knew that it was impossible to sleep.
Alright, comrade Little Rowdy was mainly concerned about Flossie Wright.
After all, Flossie Wright was also one of those who "didn’t sleep".
Hearing the noise, Austin Shepherd walked over with a water bottle and looked up at the group of students.
"Give them a day off tomorrow."
Rubbing his forehead, Austin Shepherd, visibly tired, spoke.
"Huh?" Rowdy Brightwill was a bit surprised, blinking his eyes, "Isn’t training supposed to continue tomorrow?"
"I am the Instructor, listen to me." Patting his shoulder, Austin Shepherd smiled, "The injured need to adjust, and the uninjured, after tossing and turning all of last night, consider it their reward."
"What about the training schedule you submitted..." Rowdy Brightwill hesitated.
"This one day off, I can manage to get it!"
"Alright then!"
Rowdy Brightwill nodded decisively.
It didn’t matter to him personally, but with Flossie Wright there, he was all for Austin Shepherd giving a few more days off.
"I’ll go write the report first."
With a smile, Austin Shepherd swayed his water bottle and headed directly for the Office Building.
"Take care."
Rowdy Brightwill waved to him.
After each mission, a report had to be written for summarization, and only someone "talented" like Austin Shepherd could handle it with ease.
Thinking it over, Rowdy Brightwill shook his head helplessly, then turned back to watch the group of students.
Nathan Foster and Drake Easton were arranging the assembly.
A bunch of lackluster students sluggishly formed up, their trembling and swaying figures looking as if they could collapse at any moment.
