917 The Hand Behind the Scenes (2)
"Captain! Someone has fallen here!"
Qin Yuan was walking in front when he heard a panicked cry from behind.
" What's going on?!"
Qin Yuan immediately turned around and went over.
His brothers formed a circle and kept poking their heads inside to check.
Qin Yuan walked through the crowd and entered. He saw a soldier lying on the ground. His face was red and his expression was wooden.
Qin Yuan hurriedly went forward to check on the other party.
"How did it go?"
"I'm dizzy and thirsty…"
Qin Yuan reached out and touched his forehead. As expected, it was very hot. He had a heatstroke.
Qin Yuan hurriedly brought him to a cool place. He did not give him water and covered him with a wet towel.
Only then did they realize that because of the high temperature here, they had already finished drinking the water in their hands!
Right now, the water reserves in the team were only enough for them to consume for half a day at most!
Qin Yuan was worried, but he did not show it on his face.
"Are you feeling better?"
Qin Yuan asked the soldier who had a heatstroke.
"A little better."
The soldier said in a weak voice.
"Rest well. I'll take good care of you."
After settling the soldier down, Qin Yuan returned to the front of the army and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I didn't expect the environment here to be so harsh. If this continues, the journey will probably be difficult."
Qin Yuan frowned and said in a low voice.
"Yeah, this place is really strange. When we came here before, we didn't find such a place. It's probably very far away from the main route. The other party must have planned to lure us to this place."
He Chenguang frowned.
Qin Yuan said.
"Then what should we do? Should we continue to go deeper?"
He Chenguang asked.
However, he immediately regretted asking this question.
After all, they had already entered this mountainous area for some time. Not to mention continuing to explore, even if they returned from the original route, it would take some time. This time was enough for the other party to launch a powerful attack.
"What do you think?"
Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, we have no way out. We can only choose to go forward."
"If we hesitate now, all our previous efforts will go to waste."
Qin Yuan said seriously.
" However, the journey ahead will be an even harsher test."
As they were chatting, a soldier's scream came from behind.
"Another warrior has fallen!"
Hearing this shout, Qin Yuan and He Chenguang's hearts turned cold!
It was probably a heatstroke again!
The two of them rushed to the scene. Sure enough, two more soldiers fainted from the heat stroke.
"Damn it, something happened at this time! It's really a rainy night!"
He Chenguang said angrily.
"Send everyone to the shade to recuperate!"
Qin Yuan immediately ordered.
The few of them immediately carried the two soldiers who were suffering from heatstroke to a place under the rock where the temperature was slightly lower.
Even so, the temperature there was still more than 20 degrees Celsius. A few soldiers who had suffered a heatstroke were sweating profusely, and their bodies were emitting hot air. They looked very painful.
Qin Yuan was tormented by this situation.
Originally, they only had about 50 people. Now, they had suffered heatstroke after heatstroke. Almost 10 people had fallen. If this continued, the number would only increase.
They did not prepare the corresponding medical tools, so they could only use simple methods to treat him. It was simply a drop in the bucket.
"Captain! There seems to be a pool in front!"
Qin Yuan was shocked and looked in the direction he was pointing.
A few hundred meters ahead, there seemed to be a pool of crystal clear water on the ground. Due to the distance, they could not see it clearly. However, this was their only hope!
If they couldn't find a water source in a short period of time, they would suffer from dehydration and eventually die of thirst!
The white wolf's condition was even more serious. Its entire body was limp, and it was already lying on the ground motionlessly, panting heavily. It was about to collapse!
Green Snake saw this and was anxious. He quickly went forward and said to Qin Yuan,
"Let's hurry up and act!"
"We can't delay any longer!"
Qin Yuan also nodded heavily. This matter could not be delayed any longer.
"Everyone who can still move, support the injured beside you and set off for the oasis over there immediately!"
Qin Yuan immediately ordered.
"Good!"
The group of people saw the water source in front of them and immediately became interested. They forced themselves to be alert and supported their companions beside them as they began to walk toward the water source with all their might.
Qin Yuan was not idle either. He held a wounded person in each hand and led the two of them to the water source in front of them.
Just like that, the group dragged their tired and heavy bodies forward with difficulty towards the water source.
"There won't be any ambushes along the way, right?"
The soldiers muttered in their hearts as they walked.
"How can we care so much! It's already not bad to be able to walk over there!"
Looking at the water source that was not far away, a sharp light burst out from the eyes of the group.
To them, the distance of a few hundred meters was as far as a few thousand kilometers.
Fortunately, there was no enemy ambush on the way.
Finally, after a difficult journey, the logistics company finally arrived at the location of the water source. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Qin Yuan walked at the front and took a closer look. In front of him was a small clear pool, about ten meters in size. Qin Yuan was delighted. It was indeed a precious water source.
"Everyone, come over! This is a pond."
Qin Yuan turned his head and said to the soldiers behind him.
"Is it a water source? That's great!"
When the soldiers behind heard the news, they hurriedly rushed forward. They did not care about the formation. Everyone surrounded the pool and enjoyed the clear water.
"Awesome! This is the first time I feel that water is so precious!"
"Damn it! He almost died of thirst from these bastards! Fortunately, the heavens had eyes! The heavens will not destroy our logistics company!"
"Let's prepare sufficient water! I'll go and kill these scums later. It's hard to appease the hatred in my heart!"
The soldiers were nourished by the water source, and they were full of vitality.
With the support of the water source, the soldiers who had been sick from the heatstroke had basically recovered. The logistics company had regained its former vitality.
"Everyone, you have to use it sparingly. Otherwise, with so many people, you'll squander it all at once!"
He Chenguang reminded.
After all, these fifty people only had a limited amount of water. If they did not pay attention to their use, they would run out very quickly.
"Got it!"
"Everyone, fill a pot of water. Once it's ready, we'll set off immediately!"
Qin Yuan ordered.
"Yes, sir! Captain!"
After receiving Qin Yuan's order, everyone did not hesitate or hesitate. According to Qin Yuan, everyone filled a pot of water to the brim. Then, they organized their ranks and returned to their previous state of being on guard.
Seeing that the soldiers had almost recovered, Qin Yuan looked at the depths of the mountain in front of him again. This time, it was time for them to counterattack.
" Is everything ready?!"
Qin Yuan confirmed again.
"I'm ready! We can set off at any time!"
The soldiers shouted in unison.
"Logistics Company! Let's go!"
Qin Yuan shouted.
The soldiers 'orderly footsteps sounded again. They left the pool and walked deeper into the mountains.
This time, everyone had learned their lesson and cherished the water resources on hand. Now, their reserves could last for at least a day.
This also gave them a sense of security.
"We're getting closer and closer to their location."
Green Snake walked to Qin Yuan's side and said in a low voice.
"The white wolf can already smell them."
A hint of ruthlessness appeared in the green snake's eyes.
"How far is it?"
"Less than a kilometer."
"Alright."
" All troops, enter alert mode. We're about to engage the enemy in close combat."
Qin Yuan raised his head and said to the soldiers in the team.
