Sunrise
Episode 3 Searching for Hulu

Dean's group hunting catch. Group South twigs and fireplaces. Dean and the Commander of the Southern Squad had already decided, before their men arrived.

All members walk. Members Dean and members of the South soon split up on their respective assignments.

The Southern Group breaks branches on medium and small trees because they are easy to reach. While North Group aka group Dean is doing reconnaissance. Passing through the thickets sounded. They remained motionless, sharpening their hearing.3 people then stepped in search of the source of the sound. Others, follow.

A large python about 10-12 meters in range is visible in front of the eyes. Creeping over a cluster of leaves and twigs above ground level. If they catch the snake, it is enough to cover the needs of their entourage.

One person gave the code, that he and the two companions by his side would catch the head of the snake. The others nodded. Let it be so, automatically the rest take the position of the tail and middle parts.

After a long struggle. Understandably, the power of snakes must be very strong. What else for such a big size. Finally they managed to catch, immediately taken to the resting place. The Southern group had come first, and had already made a fireplace. Sure, their duties are light.

“Wah... How big your catch is," the Commander amazed.

“Wow! It's amazing you guys." Dean chimed.

The Platoon Commander and all the squad leaders were sitting under a tree. They talk again. But get distracted by their presence.

“Come, soon skinn,” Command Commander.

“Ready, Dan!” All Dean's men nodded.

“If the problem of eating, indeed we will not lack. We can search here. Our problem in the water. Yesterday I had a chance to collect rain water before heading to our meeting place." The commander continued the conversation.

“I too, Dan,” said the others, except Dean.

“Luck, I yesterday found the upstream of the river. The water is very clear.”

“You found the river headwaters?” Commander of the Western Squad, he swerved.

“Iya. Upstream of the river the fish are large, and gather a lot at various points. We easily caught him. We ate all our catch. The meat of all the fish is very fresh."

"Gee... It's so good for you guys."

"Yes," added the Commander of the Southern Squad.

“Is your water supply still enough?” Commander back to the topic.

“No, Dan. Actually due to the steep road that we passed yesterday, we did not have time to hold a lot of rain," complained the Commander of the Southern Squad, about his struggle and his team towards their meeting place.

“Tomorrow we search upstream river only. In addition to adding water stock among us who are still there, as well as just in case. I fear the next few days there will be no rain."

"Ready, Dan," they answered.

"Sama, Dan. My last body and the team got wet, yeah because it rained yesterday." The Commander of the Western Squad also complained, followed by a nod to the Commander of the Southern Squad who also felt the same way, except Dean. Let him and his team get rained on yesterday at least before the shower.

The snake was cut into pieces. The meat of each piece is plugged into a twig like satay. Then burned thoroughly by twirling the twig. Every piece of meat that had been burned, they all devoured it until it was left. Afterwards, they extinguish the fireplace by squinting instead of in the flush. Understandably, they cannot waste water. To die quickly, trampled. Then filled with soil continued to cover using leaves. Ordinary, they had to bury a trace.

Then they continued their journey. During the blazing day, the Sun was already straight parallel above the head, they continued walking. Just imagine! In addition to the brain is forced to be vigilant, and must maintain stamina, but also must be ready to respond to natural situations, and items carried.

Rations are not small because they are 1 month here, even in stock half a month let the rest look in the forest. Of course it is not a small amount. Not to mention weapons, ammunition, tents, medicines, and other equipment that support their needs. That's how tired they are...

Whatever it is, they must continue to live. It is the risk and responsibility of the job. After all, when training they are accustomed to carrying heavy loads. One example: When running exercise schedule. Besides having to travel a distance that is not short. Already so, backpack in the contents of the stone range 5 to 10 kg. So that they get used to being dropped into the battlefield carrying ammunition, and everything supports the needs, yes as they live today.

**********

The sound of wolf howls, and the sound of owls kept interlacing. The wind continued to hit the gap of the tent grille that could be crossed. The guarding duty continues to observe the surroundings. Not sparing the hearing. Who does not wake up aka sleep. They will wake up when their schedule arrives.

The night had passed, after the last guard had joined the others. The tent is also out, and everything is ready. Then they step back. Last night, the Commander had a discussion with the squad commanders for the accuracy of the upstream river route they were looking for. In order not to stray far from the destination.

Actually in the Southeast there, the article can take 2 days. Yes, if it rains, then? They will be in trouble later.

They continued to walk until they passed lunch. Because it will rest long enough, yes already there. Well... Even so, sometimes stop for a moment and then continue the road again. Even so they must have a little rest, because many kilometers they walk, plus carry the burden.

Seemed rocks mossy in the eye pelupuk. Rocks on the edge of the river that indicate a few more steps they arrive at the place sought.

And finally...

“Wow... Nice place,” amazes Commander of the Western Squad.

“This is the place I met yesterday,” Dean said.

"really?"

Nodding. "Yes." Yeah."

In addition to the clear rocks and water, the upstream path of the river was stepped like a small waterfall in layers. The flow of water that fell into each layer so it let out a gurgling sound and was very heavy. Not to mention supported by shady trees around the upstream. So it brings beauty and shade.

“Good. Every 30 minutes, each team alternately stands guard. For now my team, following North, then South, and lastly West,” said the Commander, dividing the task into all squads.

“Ready, Dan,” answer them in unison.
