48 Hours a Day

Breakfast is served with bacon and cinnamon bread pieces with fruit jeans, along with pea soup and tuna salad, a standard Apollo era astronaut meal.

Predominated by dehydrated and sub-humid foods, combined with some heated foods and foods in their natural state (mainly nuts), there are no nutritional problems, but the flavour is quite a coincidence.

Thanks to advances in food preservation technology, future generations of space food have improved considerably. By Zhang Heng's time, NASA will be able to provide astronauts with more than 180 objects and drinks, and you will even be able to eat chocolate ice cream on the International Space Station (which, of course, is a very luxurious thing even now), which will help astronauts stay stable for longer.

For the moment, however, Zhang Heng obviously did not treat them so well.

There are three astronauts in the storeroom in the service cabin who can eat 11 days of food. If the mission is not accidental, the time for climbing the moon and returning to Earth is eliminated, and the rest of the food can last six to seven days, enough for the astronauts to wait for the NASA rescue team to arrive.

However, given the damage to communications equipment and the likelihood of various situations, this training requires Zhang Heng that they cannot stay in place and wait for rescue.

So after breakfast, the three of them made a brief positioning, distributed food and water, and started walking wild again, moving behind their backs to the next target location.

This is also the hardest part of the entire field survival training.

The target location is far from 80 kilometres, and even a moment of uninterrupted walking takes about twenty hours to reach.

Not to mention the fact that it is now summer and the desert temperatures exceed 40 degrees Celsius during the day.

In the sun, the body's moisture is lost quickly. If it is not replenished in time, it is easy to enter the dehydration state. However, after this period of devil training, even the most physically fat man does not look like he is going to leave the team. As for Zhang Heng, he is the best of the three and has experienced more than one worse situation. There are also LV2's wild survival skills. There are not too many challenges for him in the current situation.

In fact, the supply of emergency backpacks and service cabins provided by NASA has saved desert survival a lot of trouble. After all, NASA is not designed to train field survival specialists. Normally, this training only requires astronauts to use what they have at their disposal and reasonably distribute their strength according to the steps in the emergency manual, and then complete their tasks within the prescribed time frame.

More is just physical consumption.

But after walking in the desert for a while, people's emotions inevitably fluctuated.

Hot and dry environments are not only a torture and test for the body, but also affect everyone's emotions to a certain extent, especially when the three of them are hiding their hearts.

On the face of it, the three faced the same situation, all competing for the last spot, but in fact, Zhang Heng, even if he did nothing, could still successfully climb the Apollo XI by ensuring that he could survive the training and rely on his outstanding achievements.

Instead, Bruno and Jalai need to be more passive, especially because of his previous strategy, which led to his ranking at the end of the threesome, and he needs to use this last training to kill them both.

But Jalai doesn't know what Zhang Heng thinks, who wants to get through this field survival training, take advantage of his grades to the Apollo XI, or are prepared to take a certain risk to solve his and Bruno's threat.

After all, there is one week left in the quarantine period, which does not guarantee complete security.

The main problem is that Jalai doesn't know what kind of person Zhang Heng really is. For more than a month, he has not only been dressed weakly, making people relax their guard against him, but also watching everyone in secret.

The energy he spends on everyone is different, like the strong man and the high school students, Jalai is lazy to study, and the one that gives him the most attention is Zhang Heng.

Until today, however, his understanding of Zhang Heng is still seriously inadequate. The former is the most mysterious of the round of players, alone. He can't see the other party's occupation in the real world from Zhang Heng's body. Even his age cannot be determined, and it is difficult to read what he is thinking from Zhang Heng's face.

This is where Jalai finds it most challenging, as it is difficult to choose the next course of action without knowing the type of opponent.

He tends to have a good relationship with Zhang Heng when there are three clearance spots, but now he is inevitable and must find a way to deal with each other effectively.

…………

Only three lonely people in the endless desert moved slowly on the sand dunes, Brunola pulled the collar, which he had not known for the first time to open the bag and drink water, yet his anxiety could not be relieved.

He looked up at Zhang Heng, who was walking in front of him. From the start to the present, the pace of the latter had remained almost constant on a frequency, seemingly completely unaffected by the environment.

The fat man, who had been silent behind him, also put a lot of pressure on him. After breakfast, the team had been surrounded by an atmosphere of rainstorms about to happen, yet nothing had happened on the way down, a feeling that was more boring than hot weather.

In the afternoon, the three men found a rock wall where they could shelter from the cold, where they finished their lunch, and Zhang Heng left arrows on the ground with the stone, which was also part of the training, in order to show the rescue team behind them the way forward.

The three of them then took a half-hour break to get back on the road.

By dusk, Jalai and Bruno were obviously breathing heavier than before, sweat soaked their clothes, the skin exposed to the sun was red, despite the protective measures taken, there was still a lot of sand in the clothes, and the skin was constantly rubbing as they walked, making people feel even more uncomfortable.

As the captain of the team, Zhang Heng decided to pause his journey for up to 10 hours to find the right place to stay and prepare for the night.

He collected some dead branches, as well as dry bushes, raised a bonfire that could be used to heat the heated food collected from the service compartment and served three people a hot dinner.

This also raised a suspicion in Jalai's mind. Zhang Heng has been conducting field survival training as requested by the captain so far. Is he really going to get the last spot on the basis of his grades?
