The rainforest in the early morning carried a hint of chill.
The most annoying part was the dampness, making one's whole body feel sticky and uncomfortable.
Song Heping left the hollow tree, slowly making his way toward the river along the same path he had taken the past two days.
About a hundred meters from the tree hollow, there was a river.
The reason for choosing this location was that the river served as a natural barrier.
To approach the tree hollow from the north, one would have to cross the river.
Unlike the jungle and shrubbery areas where one could hide, it was easier to spot the enemy's approach by the river.
All of this, he had learned from seasoned soldiers.
Back in the day, an instructor had told him that not only was a river a natural barrier, but it also provided a water source.
When choosing a hiding spot in the jungle, it was best to stay close to a water source for the sake of water supply, and because aquatic life could be an important source of food.
