RankNovelChapter 1538: Thiago and Alina didn't wait for Harlee. Without a second glance, they turned and headed in an entirely different direction from the recruits, disappearing from view in the blink of an eye.
Harlee glanced around, her lips curling into a faint smirk.
"Your judgment isn't that bad. This first move is commendable." After saying that, Harlee sprinted toward the path Thiago and Alina had taken, her feet eating up the ground. In just three minutes, she was right on their heels.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this point, Thiago had already captured a small snake.
Harlee gradually slowed her pace until she vanished from their line of sight. Yet, even from the shadows, her sharp eyes never stopped tracking their every move. Her decision to bring Thiago and Alina along wasn't simply to enlist their help with the training drills. She wanted to take this opportunity to sharpen their skills.
It was because she planned to have these two open the second farmhouse restaurant, and conflicts were bound to arise. They needed to have sufficient self-defense skills! It was noon.
Lionel and his ten-man squad were the first to return, but upon noticing the absence of the other three teams, they set out again to find them. Despite having been in the area for five days, they were still unfamiliar with the terrain, and Lionel worried about his comrades' potential dangers from the natural environment.
Lionel and his squad hadn't gone far when they encountered Rita, who had been bitten by a poisonous snake. Lionel immediately directed two male soldiers to take her back for medical attention, while the others attempted to deal with the snake.

"Understood," Lionel responded, taking her advice seriously. Despite their efforts, it took nearly sixty shots for the group to graze the snake's tail, and it still managed to slither away.
Weary, the team trudged back to camp. As they entered, the enticing smell of cooking meat hit them, making their stomachs growl. The creak of the door revealed Harlee and Alina at the center of the courtyard, near a makeshift barbecue where Thiago was expertly seasoning meat.

They had only managed to scrounge up lizards and sunidentified insects from the roadside-—meager fare they hoped would stave off starvation. If they continued to starve, surviving would beca critical issue, making training an even greater challenge. The squad led by Rosie Ferguson had been fortunate enough to find cactus. Not only was the cactus edible and surprisingly tasty, but it also provided essential hydration, effectively addressing most of their immediate needs. Lionel looked around and noticed the two soldiers who had escorted Rita back, but she was absent. He stepped forward, concern evident in his voice.
"Ms. Sanderson, where is Rita? She was bitten by a poisonous snake..." "She was sent to the hospital," Harlee replied, her expression unreadable.
Originally, Harlee had intended for Rita to take spills prepared by Serena to mitigate the effects of the snake venom, allowing her to continue training without delay.
However, concerned that others might exploit the situation to secure food, Harlee instead gave Rita a pill to slow the venom's spread and ordered her immediate transport to the hospital.
Lionel, upon hearing this, felt a mix of relief and sympathy for Rita. The training camp was only three months lang Missing three the first month due to medical recovery could severely impact Rita's chance to advance in the initial selection.
