Becoming an Academy Cowboy

blizzard(1)

Seeing me returning with the deer, the team members opened their mouths.

“Team Leader! Where else did you get it?”

John takes care of Miller and asks.

“Hunting is the basis of people living in this era. What is the essence?”

“The assistant manager Joe hasn’t come back yet.”

“I was trying to beat him, but I can’t.”

Stabbing a living thing was a problem, but slaughtering a dead creature is no problem.

[That’s right. A deer can eat its intestines as a pie. It doesn’t taste good, but at least it’s better than starving.]

“We don’t have enough ingredients to make a pie. Master. Few cadets brought grain.”

Following Anistine’s instructions, the edible part was cut out step by step.

A thick smell of blood spread over the snowy mountain.

[If you make it with jerky, you can eat it for a long time. Maybe you can use it even when things are bad. Even if the things you thought were happening, let’s keep things going so we can keep things going.]

She told me that the dehydrated jerky is easier to manage than other foods in cold regions, and it’s edible when paired with spices.

Anistine’s knowledge has been quite helpful here and there.

No one is more helpful than her, especially when it comes to surviving in a place like this.

While slaughtering for a few hours, I noticed something strange.

“John. Am I the only one seeing that?”

“no. I can see it too.”

Meanwhile, the forest moves in the distance.

Is this Macbeth?

Or the Lord of the Rings?

I put down my knife and picked up my gun, says Miller, who groaned on the floor.

“Team Leader. it’s okay That’s the sound.”

“yes?”

The existence approaching from over that ridge was the sound of cutting down trees.

right. I called out and told him to dig some wood.

The scale of his tree gathering is also large.

She had enough strength to pull out a single beautiful tree and bring it back.

Her abilities were more conducive to fortification than hunting.

The sound of digging trenches here and there with a shovel seemed more like a bulldozer than a guardian.

The reason for cutting down more trees is probably because it can be used as firewood and for making simple campsites.

“Is that great? This should be enough to stop the attack of other cadets.”

“Hobini. You work hard as you are told. Because she does what Sorina can do.”

That’s what I said, but it must have been pretty exhausting.

As I approach her, Sona raises her hand to stop me.

“Hobini, stop there!”

“uh? why.”

“I worked hard. It smells like dirt, sweat, a lot.”

“I smell blood. I can’t help it when I smell.”

“no!!”

She approached me with a caring expression on her face, holding a tree.

The tree she is holding casts a shadow on my face.

“I didn’t hit him with it, but that’s okay. put down the tree Haven’t you met any raiders along the way?”

“Met a big pig!”

“A big pig?”

She raised it in front of her mouth, as if describing a tusk with her arm.

It seems that he met even a wild boar.

“I hit it! So he ran away.”

“I’m sorry. I thought I could eat it too. I’m glad you weren’t hurt.”

She seemed to have suffered quite a bit.

Sweat was dripping from his forehead and he looked tired.

“It’s a little lacking with this one. I’ll go get some more. Hobini and Nigon bring food, but I do things like this.”

He sometimes overlooks the importance of what he does.

How important is fuel in winter?

Food is important, but without fuel, most of it is likely to be lost.

In particular, wild-caught meat contains many parasites, so it must be cooked before eating.

Since fire has the potential to inform the enemy of your location, it is better not to light it at all.

However, in such a situation, to cook food and maintain body temperature, there is no choice but to make a fire.

Above all else, there are so many things to prepare right now.

Perhaps, in order to exhaust their mental strength and food, the instructors have prepared a schedule according to the events that return each season.

Until that starts, you should stockpile as many supplies as possible. In any case, even though there is no team member who can consistently obtain this amount of fuel and materials, he seems to think that sometimes he has nothing to do.

So don’t let her run around too hard and lose all her stamina.

I already know of cases such as Palgap Computing and the 5th Airborne Special Forces Brigade accident.

Isn’t that the stuff that the military blatantly plays?

No matter how well-prepared people are, they can collapse quickly if cold and lack of supplies.

Moreover, the importance of physical fitness management is so important that it can be emphasized several times.

“John. Have we been here for a while? Would you like to go and get some water with Sona?”

“uh?”

“I read the war. If possible, it should be powered by hot water so that people can wash and rest. Even if you can’t take a shower, you’ll at least be able to warm up enough to wipe yourself. It was hard work, and I had to have water for the team members to use. I’ll bring another team member.”

Wearing sweat-soaked clothes in this cold weather is not good for your body.

I wish I could do laundry regularly, but it’s not easy to do it in this kind of weather.

So, although I brought a lot of clothes that could be used for combat, I couldn’t leave them alone for a full week.

Fortunately, in 2030, there is a technology that can replace laundry, starting with equipment recovery magic.

oh! Wonderful New World!

But no matter how hard I try, I have to wash it at least once every three days.

This is not the era of pioneering the West, and I think we should take care of ourselves.

Above all else, I am quite unwell and tired.

You can take a break for a day or so.

Because there’s a lot of stuff left.

If it was summer, I would soak in the river to wash off, but in winter it was too cold to do that.

I usually took minimal hygiene with wet wipes, but now it’s gotten to the point where it’s a bit unbearable.

During battle, you have to manage the dust on your body and the sweat that comes in while rolling.

“Take this and go into the cave and wet a towel with water and wipe yourself. Even if you can’t shower, at least that’s enough.”

I put a campfire on it and put water on it.

And we were able to distribute enough water for each person to wash their face.

“Girls, go in and wash up. Instead of spraying it on your body, you can wet it with a towel and wipe it off.”

Kana said as she carried the water inside.

“thank you. Rasang. I was so embarrassed that I almost died.”

It took less than an hour for everyone to wash up.

Now it’s me and Jeongsu’s turn to wash.

Jeongsu looked at her body with a slightly sad face.

“Gee, I need a shower.”

“You should be satisfied with this.”

Scrub the dirt here and there with a towel, then put it back in the water and squeeze it out.

“There are a lot of kids who can’t even do this. When you see our faces, you’ll probably be envious.”

After washing up, dinner is almost complete.

It is a dinner made by grilling and boiling the deer I caught.

“Because the team leader brought a lot of spices, I think it would be delicious. How did you come up with this idea?”

“I did it with the belief that the hunt would surely be successful. If hunting has failed. He must have been scolded for bringing a lot of salt and pepper when there was nothing to eat.”

When you eat it with cowboy beans, you feel like you are in the real West.

“Is it okay for us to eat like this? Apparently, the motto of training was to struggle to find food and live in extreme cold areas. Wouldn’t it be better to eat like this and get fat?”

Yeon Hyeon-seo asks after eating.

“If you have the ability, you don’t have to starve.”

Will there be any problems if days like today continue?

Food is plentiful and fuel is plentiful.

It was also peaceful that day.

But at the end of that peace, I felt an unknown hunger.

Sooner or later there will be an event where people start to get a little more violent.

To prepare for that, I simply made a small tent-like out of deer skin and tendon outside the campfire.

It was a minimum measure for those who cook because it was not possible to bring a fire into the cave.

“Why are you making this again all of a sudden?”

“I looked at the weather forecast and Blizzard is going to rain for a day or three from tomorrow.”

Jung Soo looked at his phone.

“Is 7G exploding here? I’m not caught.”

“When you sleep today, make sure to install a windshield in front of the cave, Jeongsu.”

And I made sure everyone on the team didn’t go outside.

If you go out hunting in this kind of weather, you may never come back.

*

It’s been about two hours since you set the alarm and slept?

Read at noble mtl.com

John, who had been on the alert, hurriedly woke me up.

“It’s snowing too much.”

“How long has it been snowing?”

“It started to rain heavily from the beginning of the first time, and now it’s almost impossible to see outside.”

He asked, covering his bloodshot eyes with his hand.

“Did you do everything I told you earlier?”

“The food was taken outside and the meat moved inside the cave. I kept the embers aside and set the tent as low as possible.”

We’ve done everything we can, and now what’s left is up to nature.

“Okay then. Now, it survives while eating food inside. In my mind, I’d rather it just snow for the rest of the time and end without any engagement. Many people outside will have to starve, but Mother Nature’s providence is on the cruel side. If you want to die, I will shoot flares.”

Looking outside for a moment, it appears that there has been a coup d’état in Snow Country.

The wind blew and a snowstorm swept down the cadets as if they were going to freeze them to death.

Almost nothing could be seen, but seeing the letter F clearly engraved in the sky with magical power, it seemed that one after another, cadets gave up because they could not overcome the cold and hunger.

It’s probably because we don’t have enough equipment to overcome the snow and cold. We primarily have a cave, and we pitched a tent inside the cave.

Anistine said it was necessary to come up with several layers of protection against the cold, and I also knew how to protect myself from the cold in the military.

I brought several layers of vinyl and blankets to cover the floor and tent, and I was able to minimize the damage from the cold.

If you believed in only one high-end tent, you would probably have suffered more damage.

“It’s amazing to be able to be rescued in this kind of weather.”

I lay down and pretended to go back to sleep.

It was because he didn’t want to show his uneasy appearance in front of his teammates.

But there is something to worry about.

Nam Goong Yeon. Is he doing well?

Today I am Malvern.

In order to communicate with Namgoongyeon, it was deliberately set at that time.

“Ahh. Hydra. Hydra. This is Blondie. Is our reception okay?”

[Listen well. I thought I couldn’t hear you because of your damn eyes. Receiver skill is good.]

Seeing that her voice is trembling, I think it must be a temperature issue.

“Can you stand it? Food?”

[I think I can only survive for three days. Not yet. However, if the snow storm is prolonged, there will be a shortage of food. How much did you collect?]

“Are you enough to feed them for about a fortnight?”

A groan is heard from the receiver.

[You are annoying because you stand out in arrogance.]

“Gosh. I am well aware of my abilities. be well If you feel you are short of food after three days, keep your mouth open. I’m going to shove it.”

[huh. I don’t need your help.]

bounce like that again

If you have time to help out anyway, I’ll be grateful.

“Promise me one thing. If the situation doesn’t go well, I always call the radio and ask for help. If things get worse and I need your help, I will definitely tell you.”

She had no answer.

“great. Now let me tell you what I’m worried about. Now I’m afraid of becoming a public enemy. I’m the team with the best food, and I can be attacked at any time. I hope someone can help me and come back soon.”

She laughed for some reason.

[Are you human too? I have concerns.]

“Of course, isn’t it that modern people have at least one of those things?”

Namgoong-yeon, who laughed alone for a while, finally brings out the deepest words in her heart.

[And as you said. It’s really hard to manage resources and manpower.]

“You can do well. But with your help, we can do better.”

[I can’t always become a proper team leader with only your help. I’ll do it until I do it.]

Looking out of the cave, the snow is piling up.

After three days or so, it will build up to about the waist.

That’s no problem.

And maybe there’s a situation where you’ll get more credit from there.

I went to sleep again.

When a commodity dries up, the person holding even a little more of the good is the king.

Moreover, even more so if it is essential to die without those goods.

What will happen after the snow storm stops?

How long will it take for a civilized person to turn into a savage?

We’ll have to wait to know for sure, but what’s certain is that after this snowstorm, hunger will more than likely turn the Guardian cadets into marauders.

At least my teammates won’t, but then there’s bound to be a point where civilization and barbarism clash.

The huge dormitory of the Fallenhof.

Power wearing glasses was looking at the road map of the snowy mountains.

It was a system that was linked to the olbang system and informed where the cadets were and what their vital signs were.

It was created to prevent any unpleasant incidents, but somehow the student council president seemed to be using it for a different purpose.

She looked at the system as she took the tea.

“Looking at the vital signs, Rahobin seems to be eating pretty well and doing well. Even in this cold situation. After all, a good team leader never neglects to supply under any circumstances.”

she picked up her phone

You’ve been hiding well, but now it’s time to fight and prove it.

Suffering and adversity are necessary for a hero, and she will be his adversity.

“The world needs you. And so am I.”

The student council president sent the prepared materials.

This will be delivered to the team leaders who are in dire need of food through the people she has recruited in advance.

Jeonseo-gu is still useful.

If it was strengthened with magic.

Those Cheadles will probably go to Rahobin and become a plight.

“As I always said, I always get what I want. And I want you turned into a hero.”
