Chapter 364 The One and Only Jungle Darling! Gu Huaiye's face showed the slight weariness of traveling all night, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he was quickly giving remote medical guidance into his earpiece:
"Keep the airway open. I will connect to the remote imaging system to check the chest cavity in two minutes. Repeat the procedure..."
Every instruction was precise and decisive, hitting the nail on the head, demonstrating the control of a top surgical expert under extreme pressure.
As he spoke, he strode forward, his eyes scanning the scene as he quickly assessed everything.
As they walked and gave instructions, Gu Huaiye's gaze inevitably met that of Xia Zhining, who was helping to lift a equipment box.
His cold gaze shifted slightly for a moment, like a warm current suddenly spreading from beneath the ice, but it was so quick it was almost impossible to catch.
Gu Huaiye's steps did not falter at all, and his commands into the headset never ceased, as if that fleeting encounter was merely an illusion.
Until the last instruction was clearly given: "...Okay, maintain the status quo, wait for me to connect."
He ended the call decisively, and at the same time, he walked right up to Xia Zhining and Ji Shuyun.
Gu Huaiye stopped and gently removed his headset. His gaze first fell on Xia Zhining's face, then turned to Ji Shuyun and nodded.
"Expert Xia, Officer Ji, thank you for your hard work."
His handsome face still bore the cold solemnity characteristic of a battlefield medic, but his tone had shifted to a formal and composed exchange:
"I am Gu Huaiye, the specially appointed chief medical officer for this joint operation."
There were no pleasantries, no superfluous expressions, and even the brief change in his gaze just now seemed like an illusion.
On the battlefield filled with the smoke of gunpowder, all of Xia Zhining's emotions were perfectly concealed under the armor of professional duty.
Ji Shuyun raised an eyebrow slightly.
He really didn't expect Gu Huaiye to have such a solid background as a battlefield medic and such strong on-the-spot skills.
"Dr. Gu, welcome."
After saying that, he continued his work, securing a heavy piece of equipment securely.
Acknowledging someone's expertise does not mean relaxing one's "guardianship" over one's younger sister.
Xia Zhining's almond-shaped eyes lit up when she saw Gu Huaiye. She had many questions she wanted to ask, but she held them back.
Pointing to the well-organized animal "transportation line" behind her, she reported on the progress: "Dr. Gu, most of the equipment has been connected, and the placement is more than halfway complete!"
Gu Huaiye followed the direction she pointed and saw the elephants steadily carrying the heaviest mobile hospital, the wild boars carrying medicine boxes shuttling back and forth, and Dark Star and Boss Crow coordinating on land and in the air. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and his eyes were full of satisfaction and appreciation.
He turned to Xia Zhining, his tone one of pure trust and entrustment: "Expert Xia, next, those most sophisticated life monitoring devices and portable surgical lights need to be shockproof and quick to move. Which team do you think would be the most suitable to assign them to?"
"Understood!" Xia Zhining immediately understood and turned around to communicate with Boss Crow and several of the most clever wild boars, quickly assigning tasks.
What happened next left everyone present in awe.
Without any unnecessary eye contact or verbal confirmation, Gu Huaiye made quick decisions based on the equipment characteristics and transportation needs, while Xia Zhining instantly transformed into the "dispatch commander" of the animal kingdom.
One gave instructions, the other relayed orders; one confirmed the situation, the other comforted the animal.
The two worked together seamlessly, so efficiently that it seemed as if they had rehearsed countless times, with all their familiarity and tacit understanding lying beneath the surface of professionalism.
Several international medical team members nearby, who were giving the equipment a final fixation, stared in disbelief and couldn't help but whisper among themselves:
"My God... I've participated in over a dozen international rescue missions, and this is the first time I've ever seen... uh, animal logistics?"
