Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Soon, Zhou Qi went to the side and nailed the snake to the tree. As he instructed Wang Ye, he swiftly skinned it and removed its internal organs.

Afterward, Wang Ye went to gather wood.

As Zhou Qi had mentioned, raw consumption of snakes was not advisable.

These creatures harbored parasites, and the 4th Company was just an ordinary unit. Their training extended to dealing with snakes but not to the consumption of wild snake meat.

Ten minutes later, the recruits and veterans in the jungle began returning.

Wang Ye noticed that others from different classes had also captured snakes.

They weren’t cobras, and there were only two of them.

Furthermore, one of them was quite small, about the thickness of a thumb and half a meter long. Definitely a small snake, perhaps one or two catties at most.

A skinned and gutted snake was wrapped around a stick and roasted over the fire. There was nothing else except for a bit of salt provided by the cook.

Wang Ye squatted by the fire, and his fellow Class Eight members observed from the side.

Now, the mushrooms, wood ears, and some edible wild vegetables collected by everyone in the jungle were sent to the kitchen.

They were processed right there.

However, the worms were the exception.

When the snake meat was nearly ready, everyone had to line up in front of the cooking team’s dining car to receive breakfast.

It consisted of wild vegetable mushroom soup and steamed buns.

However, there was a condition for eating the soup and buns.

In front of the company commander and others, they had to first take out the worms they had dug up and eat them raw.

“Um… Crunchy, with a hint of chicken flavor,” remarked the representative of Class One, who was the first in line.

This individual had unhesitatingly swallowed all three bugs.

After finishing, he turned around and pretended he hadn’t eaten enough.

However, many recruits were still wearing a grimace.

Not bothered by eating insects, Wang Ye thought this was quite normal. He observed the assistant class monitor of Class One in front of him. Wang Ye was certain this guy had swallowed the worms like medicine, even pretending to chew them. Only a fool would believe it…

Reality proved that there were indeed such gullible individuals.

Behind him were the new recruits of the first squad.

The first one in line imitated him, throwing all three worms into his mouth and attempting to chew.

There was an eruption of heat…

“Ugh!”

Wang Ye, standing behind him, witnessed the poor soul throw the worms in, then bend over, squat on the ground, and start vomiting.

“Haha.”

Many seasoned soldiers couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

Yet, Wu Jianfeng remained serious.

He glared at the vomiting recruit. In some regions, these worms were considered a delicacy, with a protein content several times higher than that of beef.”

After saying this, he scanned everyone in the line and shouted, “Let me make this clear: if you want to have breakfast today, and if you want to later handle real ammunition, or even engage with sniper rifles and rocket launchers, you must eat three worms.”

Having said that, he turned his attention back to the recruit still retching in front of him. “Now, find three more!”

Wu Jianfeng showed no mercy, making the soldiers who had just vomited appear bitter.

“Why are you still standing there? Vice class monitor, go with him!”

The class monitor scolded, instructing the assistant who had just tricked the recruit to accompany him.

In fact, veterans were reluctant to let recruits go alone during training.

They were concerned that someone might resist eating such things and attempt to flee, which would be a real nightmare.

“Darn it, I knew it wouldn’t be that simple…”

“If you want to play with that cartload of ammunition, you can’t avoid paying the price!”

In the queue, Wang Ye overheard someone muttering behind him.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but glance at Wu Jianfeng.

Wang Ye really wanted to say, “Can’t we make this less convoluted?”

Threatening and tempting someone to eat a worm seemed excessive, but Wang Ye had to admit that the method was undeniably effective.

At the very least, Wang Ye could already hear Peng Yuhang gritting his teeth and muttering, “If they die, so be it. Just consider it as taking medicine. Close your eyes and swallow those three worms alive.”
