The thirteenth team was led by Huo Zhiwu. They stood in an orderly manner at the entrance of the base camp, ready to go.

Mu Huaixi also changed into clothes that were convenient for movement and followed at the end of the team with a small first aid kit.

Huo Zhiwu came out of the staff office and saw Mu Huaixi, but he still hesitated and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you join the next group? Our forced march will be too hard for you."

Mu Huaixi pursed her lips and shook her head.

"I can." She said firmly.

Mu Huaixi said this, not out of blind confidence. She had always been exercising, whether it was climbing or running, and she had never stopped except for the confinement period.

After arriving in the rainforest, her physical strength and endurance grew by leaps and bounds. After all, the work intensity here is much higher than that in the health center, and she really couldn't bear it without a good body.

The previous patrols between the camp and the outposts also allowed her to accumulate experience in walking in Yulin.

"I can do it," Mu Huaixi said without any excessive pressure. She emphasized it again and said, "If I can't keep up, I will bring it up. I won't delay you."

Huo Zhiwu had no choice.

There had never been a couple in the team serving together on the battlefield. If Mu Huaixi was just a family member, he could have rejected her on the grounds that the battlefield was unsafe, but she was an excellent military doctor.

Just as Mu Huaixi said, on the battlefield she was a soldier first and a doctor second.

At present, no one knows the condition of Captain Ying. If there is a military doctor in charge, there will indeed be many benefits.

Huo Zhiwu knew that he couldn't persuade her, but he had to. As an instructor, he had dealt with many soldiers' family affairs. Ying Mingcheng's current situation was unclear, and he couldn't let Mu Huaixi get into any trouble again.

But deep down, he admired Dr. Mu.

Huo Zhiwu said nothing more, but raised his hand to salute her, turned around and walked to the front of the team, and ordered: "Move out!"

The rainforest in winter is quite refreshing. Many vines on the roadside are rejuvenated, and the soft branches are much easier to deal with than in summer. I haven't encountered any mosquitoes yet, but I did catch the eye of a green snake hanging upside down on a branch.

But the little thing obviously didn't expect that she would discover his disguise, and he slipped away in a flash.

Mu Huaixi withdrew his gaze and continued to breathe according to the ancient method. He walked silently without stopping, following the soldiers in front of him.

She was able to keep up with the pace, but the soldiers were all carrying at least 30 kilograms of weight, and Huo Zhiwu had someone carry her small medicine box. Apart from the water bottle around her waist, she was completely lightly equipped.

The first day's march ended in the night. The team stopped in front of a small hill and set up a canopy against the hill. Some people went to cut grass and tidy up the surroundings, while others were responsible for checking safety and driving away wild animals. Everyone was busy in an orderly manner.

Mu Huaixi was holding insect repellent powder and was about to go to help when he was stopped by someone.

"Sister-in-law, you should get some rest. We've also prepared the insect repellent powder you made earlier. It works great!" The childish soldier smiled as he escorted her under the awning and pointed to a spot outside. "We'll light a bonfire here soon. I'll bring you some hot soup then!"

Mu Huaixi nodded and sat on the grass leaves that had been laid on the ground in advance.

She knew that everything in the army had rules, and if she insisted on taking action, she was afraid it would disrupt their arrangements.

At the end of the day, it would be a lie to say I wasn’t tired, especially at the beginning when I was worried that I couldn’t keep up, and my breathing and steps were both messy.

She calmed herself down, took out the gold needles, rolled up her trouser legs and pricked a few acupuncture points. She immediately felt a stream of clear water flowing through her slightly swollen calves, which was so comfortable that she closed her eyes.

When the fatigue in her calves disappeared, Mu Huaixi took off her shoes again. She had prepared other things for this march.

The people in the Mu family all have flat feet due to heredity, and they get easily tired after standing or walking for a long time. Fortunately, the ancestors of the Mu family also discovered this problem and recorded acupuncture and exercise methods in medical books. She practiced according to the methods for half a year and saw some improvement.

However, she was afraid that she would be held back during such a high-intensity march, so she made a small plaster to relieve fatigue and promote blood circulation, and applied it to the soles of her feet.

The plaster she peeled off was soaked with sweat, and the black ointment stuck to the sole of her foot, but her foot felt very comfortable and not painful at all.

Mu Huaixi was very satisfied with the medicine she made this time. Moreover, this prescription was not something she read from other medical books, but something she made up herself.

After she finished cleaning up, Huo Zhiwu came over, squatted beside her, smiled and raised his thumb, "I didn't expect you to be able to keep up."

Mu Huaixi also gave him a thumbs up, "Please don't delay your trip because of me."

"Hahahaha," Huo Zhiwu laughed. "No one would be delayed by you. I'm afraid you can't wait to fly to Lao Ying right away."

Mu Huaixi smiled and didn't answer.

Huo Zhiwu, however, seemed to be just using this as a prelude to continue his earnest admonition, "But don't worry too much about Lao Ying. He's a top soldier and the face of the independent battalion. He'll be fine."

Mu Huaixi nodded.

"Sister-in-law, you still need to take care of yourself. I know you can keep up, but don't force yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell me immediately."

"Don't keep saying nothing is wrong. You're exhausted."

Mu Huaixi felt a warm current flowing through her heart. She understood that Huo Zhiwu was worried about her, and nodded even more vigorously. "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and fulfill my duties as a doctor. I ask you to bring Mingcheng back safely."

"Okay! Don't worry!"

After this conversation, the team's marching speed increased, and they soon walked out of the range of our army's surveillance and gradually approached the area occupied by the enemy.

But the rain started falling again.

Mu Huaixi sat under a large banana leaf, munching on wet dry food, staring blankly at the dripping rain.

Suddenly her ears moved and she almost stood up with the alert soldiers.

"Shh--" The whistle was blown, and everyone rushed forward, but Mu Huaixi retreated on his own and found a safe place to hide.

The sounds of fighting continued as she lowered her eyes to think about the medicines she had brought with her, and also to think about what hemostatic herbs she had just seen nearby that she could use.

But she suddenly grabbed the medicine bag next to the kettle, and when the wind hit her side, she turned around and threw the poison ball. The poison ball exploded with a bang. Holding her breath, Mu Huaixi raised her other hand and blocked the man's weapon with a sharp dagger.

"Ah!" The man didn't care about his weapon. He covered his eyes and screamed, but Mu Huaixi stabbed him hard in the heart.

"Ha...ha...ha..." Mu Huaixi panted, his eyes fixed on the corner of his mouth where blood foam was constantly oozing out, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

She had thought about it countless times in her mind, how to fight back if she encountered an enemy close to her. Her reaction just now should have been very quick, but it seemed as if a nerve in her head broke, and she was belatedly filled with fear.
