Chapter 710: Frying an Egg in a Frying Pan

This little squirrel was very young, and its claws were not particularly hard either. Digging up the soil around the tree seemed to be particularly strenuous.

However, next to a large tree near the spring, the little squirrel’s claws seemed particularly nimble, and soon, it dug out a deep pit.

“The soil here must have been loosened before!”

Fresh man-made traces. Regardless of whether the enemy’s signal device was buried there or not, Yun Xi wanted to go over and investigate.

Li Yang had buried the signal device too deep. Yun Xi searched the nearby area but did not hear the alarm from the detector.

When the little squirrel saw that someone was coming, it quickly fled to the side. It even forgot to take the pinecone in its claws.

Yun Xi had no time to care about the little squirrel now. She took the metal rod used to fix the tent and continued to dig down along the traces that the squirrel had dug.

“There must be something buried under here!” Yun Xi muttered to herself.

Although the soil on the surface looked very hard and solid, the soil inside was very loose.

Yun Xi recalled that they did not have any explosive devices, so the bullets could not be changed into bombs. Moreover, they buried the thing so deeply, so it was most likely a signal device.

Yun Xi’s hand moved faster. As more and more soil was dug out, the alarm signal in Yun Xi’s hand sounded.

“That’s right! It’s the enemy’s signal device!”

The victory was right in front of their eyes. Yun Xi’s hand moved even faster.

Li Yang, the only remaining member of the enemy, did not know what had happened. He was especially confident in the position where he had buried the signal device. He did not expect that his tactic would lose to the claws of a little squirrel.

After all, Li Yang had some strength. After a short conflict with Zhou Lin, he avoided the conflict location. He used some methods to successfully shake off Zhou Lin who was following closely behind him.

However, it had been two days and one night. Other than drinking some fresh water, Li Yang did not eat any food at all. All the compressed biscuits on his body were given to Xu Mei. Li Yang was now famished.

Fortunately, Li Yang’s skills were not bad. He went up the tree and dug out a few bird eggs and even a few baby birds.

These were all rich in nutrients!

Li Yang looked at the frying pan in his hand and wanted to cook the bird eggs and baby birds to eat.

As a scout, Li Yang naturally knew that cooking these things would produce a smell and thick smoke. It was the easiest thing to expose one’s location.

However, Li Yang was also betting that his speed was faster than Yun Xi’s.

Li Yang believed that Yun Xi was not a professional soldier after all. Even if she discovered that something was amiss, by the time she arrived at the scene, he would have already finished eating these things and reached the next destination.

One could not have the mentality of being lucky. A little bit of luck would eventually lead to a big mistake.

Li Yang found some dried branches and started a fire underneath. After all, the scouts had a rich knowledge of survival in the wild. In a short while, these branches started a big fire. Li Yang found a few thick branches to set up a temporary pot and placed the frying pan on top.

The quality of the frying pan of the troops was really good. The bird eggs were smashed on top to form a very nice round shape, not sticking to the pan at all.

The aroma of the fried eggs soon drifted into his nostrils. Li Yang’s stomach rumbled a few more times, obviously a little impatient.

The eggs were cooked, and the smoke from the burning branches also drifted out. Zhou Lin also noticed the thick smoke.

After Li Yang shook off Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin returned to the burial site of his own signal device. After discovering the traces of the explosion, he understood that Xu Mei had already been eliminated.

Zhou Lin still trusted Yun Xi very much. Zhou Lin decided to hide around the brambles and wait for Li Yang to take the bait himself.

Fortunately, Yun Xi had left Zhou Lin with a lot of snacks before setting off to the enemy camp. Zhou Lin waited in the same spot so that he would not be hungry or bored until he noticed the smoke drifting in the distance.

Zhou Lin used his binoculars to observe the place where the smoke was drifting and found that it was a low valley not too far away from him.

Zhou Lin saw through the binoculars that Li Yang was eating heartily. Zhou Lin was ready to catch him off guard while he was eating.
