Amid the grateful and envious gazes of the four groups of players, Song Yun, Qi Monan and the others quickly left to catch up with their teammates who had already left them in front.

Although it was autumn and the temperature was cool, the sun was still very strong. Especially since they were carrying backpacks weighing dozens of kilograms and hiking in the sun for a long time, it was easy for them to get heatstroke.

Song Yun has already met several members from other groups who have fallen behind due to heatstroke.

Whenever she saw a team member suffering from heatstroke, she would stuff two herbs into their hands and ask them to chew them and then rest for half an hour. If they did not feel any discomfort, they could continue on their journey. If they still felt very uncomfortable, they would rest where they were and wait for rescue.

Fortunately, all the team members who took the herbal medicine given by Song Yun recovered their strength within half an hour, and the symptoms of heatstroke completely disappeared, and they set out on the race again.

Four hours later, all members of Group 1 and Group 3 were still in the same section, with no one left behind.

Qi Mo'nan sat under a big tree, glanced around, and seeing nothing was wrong, he called to Min Hongqi, "Rest here for ten minutes."

Min Hongqi nodded. He was tired and hungry now, so it was a good opportunity to take a break and eat some dry food.

Everyone gathered under the elm tree and sat on the ground.

The military boots were stuffy and hot. After walking for so long, not only did my feet feel hot, but they also had a lot of blisters on the soles. During the break, everyone took off their military boots, rubbed their feet, and picked at the blisters.

Song Yun held her breath, silently took out a mask and put it on. The smell was really unbearable.

She untied a bundle of herbs, picked out a handful, took out an aluminum lunch box from her backpack, and threw the picked herbs into the lunch box.

Seeing this, a greedy team member asked, "Comrade Song, what delicious food are you making?"

Huang Baogen also took out his lunch box and squatted beside Song Yun to pick herbs together. "Here are the herbs. I'll mash them into a paste and apply it on the soles of your feet. Otherwise, you'll be in so much pain this afternoon."

Song Yun glanced at Huang Baogen and said, "Okay, you know a lot."

Huang Baogen chuckled, "Although my father is a mediocre doctor, his medical skills are also well-known. I have been with him since I was a child, and I have learned a little bit from him."

After pinching the leaves of the herbs, Song Yun broke off a thick branch, used a dagger to carve it into the shape of a wooden pestle, and quickly pounded the herbs in the lunch box into a paste.

Huang Baogen followed suit and quickly made a box of medicine paste.

Qi Monan took the medicinal paste and distributed it to the team members, especially those who had broken blisters on the soles of their feet. After applying the paste, they would remember the cool and refreshing feeling for the rest of their lives.

Because of the application of the medicated mud, the ten-minute break was changed to thirty minutes.

By the way, I ate the water and dry food in the marching bag.

Although it tastes bad, it can satisfy your hunger. Just chew it with your eyes closed and swallow it.

They continued marching in the afternoon. All those who had applied the paste clearly felt that the soles of their feet were no longer as painful as before when the blisters broke. This undoubtedly increased their marching speed a lot.

Slowly, Group 1 and Group 3 overtook the last two groups and took the lead, and all of them overtook them.

They always maintained their speed, and the players were in much better condition than the other groups.

Seeing someone sitting on the side of the road picking blisters, Song Yun and Qi Mo Nan gave away the remaining medicine paste.

In their view, even if the other party is not a member of Group 1 or Group 3, they are still their comrades, and when their comrades need help, they will naturally help.
