Chapter 253 Drag
The team that went on this mission consisted of eighteen people in total. Five of them were inexperienced military academy cadets, three were medical team members, and only ten of them were actually carrying out the mission.
Yan San was the leader of the team. Xi Yu noticed that his major rank insignia was gone, replaced by an exquisite silver shield badge.
Upon closer reflection, it seems that he only wore that major's badge when he was in City A and at the military academy.
"ready to go."
Yan San was dressed in a dark formal military uniform, his military cap slightly pulled down. Coupled with his powerful aura, a single, brief sentence from him silenced everyone.
With everything ready, their squad will travel directly to the northernmost point—the Aga Mountains—on a small warship.
The Aga Mountains are rugged and there is not enough space for warships to dock, so the warships landed several kilometers away from the Aga Mountains.
As soon as Xi Yu stepped off the warship, she felt the chill of the region.
The temperature is minus ten degrees Celsius, and they haven't even really stepped into the mountain area yet!
"Start marching from here, in pairs, following the person in front," Yan Sanli immediately ordered.
Xi Yu and Fang Yiqing walked together, with them at the back of the group, while the three medical team members with low combat capabilities were placed in the middle.
They were all carrying only light equipment, and this mission was not expected to last more than seven days.
The massive mountain peaks drew ever closer, and after walking for about an hour through the snow, they finally entered the mountain range.
Unfortunately, the wind picked up at that moment, and the snowfall gradually intensified.
The snow was very deep, making it difficult to walk, and Yan San did not slow down at all.
Liang Shan'er was the first to break down; her fingers were completely frozen from the cold. An Ying was also pale, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Seeing Liang Shan'er's spineless state, Dr. Feng Li couldn't help but soften and suggested to Yan San, "Captain Yan, the snow is getting heavier and heavier. I suggest we find a place to take shelter and wait for the snow to stop before we leave."
Yan San did not respond immediately. He turned around and glanced at Dr. Feng Li, saying in a cold tone, "I should have specified in the application that the medical team members sent should have a minimum physical condition. If you cannot continue, then turn back."
Yan San's blunt refusal left Dr. Feng Li's face turning pale and then red, leaving her no choice but to shut her mouth.
“This kind of weather is almost always the case in the Aga Mountains. If we stop to seek shelter at the slightest bit of wind or snow, we won’t reach our destination even if we walk until next year!” A man with a mustache in the group said loudly, making Dr. Feng Li and the others turn pale again.
In fact, both An Ying and Liang Shan'er have a level 2 physique and meet Yan San's application requirements. However, their comfortable living environment and lack of exercise have resulted in them not having enough endurance and perseverance.
Moreover, it's incredibly cold here; the daytime temperature has even dropped to minus thirty degrees Celsius.
"No rest until we reach the designated campsite. Keep going." Yan San's cold command made the medical team's expressions change again, and they could only grit their teeth and keep going.
The team arrived at the designated campsite as darkness fell.
The operation took longer than expected because of the female members of the medical team, which slowed down everyone's pace.
