"Let's just take the logistics team. The four of us, including me, will be just enough to carry a squadron's worth of supplies."

Doragon thought for a moment and said, "Four people are too tired. I'll give you four more. You can take turns transporting supplies."

As he spoke, he called out four people, including two new recruits, Jia and Rong Xingcao.

In this way, the only people who can take action are two teams with a little more people.

"The team takes turns to monitor?" Qingxian asked with a questioning look.

"No," Doragon waved his hand and said, "Too many people will easily expose us. It's better for the team to disperse in the snowy mountains. It will be more concealed."

She pointed at Viper and Qingxian and said, "You two will form a team and mark out a few key points. The team will take turns monitoring them. After a while, someone will come down and sleep and resupply at the base.

"Logistical supplies should also be transported to the garrison. This way, the garrison will change every eight hours, and the surveillance team should also rotate every eight hours. Too frequent rotation will easily expose us."

After hearing this, the two immediately indicated that they understood and began to arrange shifts and choose locations.

After listening to the arrangements, Hong asked, "How do we deal with a firefight?"

"Try not to open fire. If you encounter the enemy, first determine the situation and report to me." Doragon replied.

Everyone nodded to indicate that they understood.

After discussing the details of the operation, the Chief of Military Affairs and the three girls from the logistics team began to rush back.

They had to get back to the fort before dark and return with supplies the next morning.

Afterwards, the rest of the team followed Viper to the chosen base.

This was a very secluded grove. They took some concealment measures around the perimeter of the woods and set up alarms everywhere. Then they cleared an area within the woods and began digging the "grave mound."

By the time the camp was ready, it was almost dark.

Several surveillance teams from the first shift were arranged, and Xiaobai arranged for Xia Shu and Zhan Ren to go first.

Qingxian was surprised and asked, "The two of them? Is this okay?"

"Okay!" Xiaobai looked at Xia Shu and said, "It will definitely work."

Qingxian frowned, thought for a while, and finally agreed to this arrangement.

But I still repeatedly emphasized to them that they should be safe and keep warm, so that when they came to hand over the equipment the next day, they would see only two popsicles.

Xia Shu agreed to all of them.

Then, before nightfall, the two arrived at their surveillance point.

A rocky platform on a hillside.

Xia Shu quickly built a windproof miniature snow house next to a big tree and crawled in with the battle blade.

She handed the night vision binoculars to Zhan Zhan and asked her to monitor for two hours and then wake her up after two hours.

Zhan Zhan said it was no problem, so Natsuki covered himself with his cloak and went to sleep.

Two hours later, Natsuki was shaken awake by the battle blade.

It was already midnight, the stars were twinkling in the sky, and it was pitch black all around.

"You go to sleep first, I'll call you later." Xia Shu said and took the telescope.

Zhan Jian hummed, his voice a little weak.

She didn't care. After Zhan Ren fell asleep, she began to monitor the forest.

After a while, Zhan Zhan gently touched Xia Shu with his hand and called her.

"Natsuki..." She said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Xia Shu turned around.

"I feel uncomfortable..." Zhan Jian curled up in the corner, looking pitiful.

Xia Shu quickly leaned over and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Zhan Zhan raised his head, looked at Xia Shu, and said, "I can't breathe."

Xia Shu turned on the flashlight and shone it on her, and found that her face was flushed and her breathing was rapid.

He put his forehead against hers again to test the temperature.

Very hot, with a slight fever.

"It's a bit of altitude sickness. It's okay." Xia Shu said softly, took out the red pill from his pocket and fed it to her.

Let her drink some water.

Then he gently held her in his arms.

Zhan Jian nestled in Xia Shu's arms and reached out to grab Xia Shu's clothes tightly.

Xia Shu held her hands and found that her hands were cold.

So he simply put her hands inside his clothes.

"It's okay, I'm here." Xia Shu said softly.

"Yeah." Zhan Jian buried his head in Xia Shu's arms and responded softly.

Natsuki patted Zhan Jian's head.

After a while, Zhan Zhan suddenly started sobbing softly.

"What's wrong?" Xia Shu asked softly while holding her.

"I... am not strong enough..." Zhan Jian said with a sob.

Xia Shu chuckled, kissed her forehead, and said, "Silly child."

Warblade whimpered, crying even harder.

It seemed as if her heart had suddenly become fragile, and Xia Shu's body temperature melted away her disguised shell.

After crying for a while, Zhan Jian fell into a deep sleep.

And Xia Shu just held her gently all night long.

213.About snow rest

In the early hours of the morning, just as dawn was about to break, someone came to take over.

When Fantuan saw the snow house, he walked up and squatted at the exit. He saw Xia Shu looking towards the snow-capped mountains with a telescope.

Natsuki saw Onigiri and the others coming and looked up and said, "Come to take over?"

Fantuan hummed, then saw Zhan Zhan curled up next to Natsuki, nestled in her arms, and asked, "Still sleeping?"

"Altitude sickness." Xia Shu replied.

"Oh," Fantuan frowned and said with a little worry, "Then you need to rest more. Let's take her to the camp quickly."

Then he told Xia Shu the location of the new camp.

Xia Shu nodded, reached out and gently picked up the battle blade, pushed open the snow house and walked towards the camp.

"You go back first, I'll help you pass your things back later." Fantuan said, and began to help them pack their cloaks, backpacks and other things.

Xia Shu thanked him and walked down the snow slope with the sword in his arms.

Zhan Zhan was dazed and curled up in Xia Shu's arms.

Feeling a little cold, he stuck his head inside.

Xia Shu hugged her tightly.

The new camp is on the edge of a cliff. It seems that there is no road below, but in fact, there is a platform if you walk down in a winding way.

The venomous snake thought this place was nice and he could stay for a day or two.

When Xia Shu came back, Qingxian was boiling water.

Seeing Zhan Jian being held in her arms, he quickly came over to lend a hand and asked, "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

"Altitude sickness." Xia Shu replied, put her next to the fire, took off his coat, stuffed her into a sleeping bag, and spread a cloak on top.

"Have you taken your medicine?" Qingxian asked, pouring out two cups of hot water from the water bag next to him.

Xia Shu put the next cup on the ground, took another cup, walked over and fed it to Zhan Jian.

And said, "After taking the medicine, he seems to be much better."

Qingxian put his hand on Zhan Zhan's forehead and said, "It's not a fever, it looks fine."

"It will be fine after a rest." Xia Shu said, warming his hands in front of the fire.

After a while, Fantuan handed back the two men's backpacks and guns.

Natsuki thanked him, and Fantuan smiled and said it was okay, and went back to monitoring.

Qingxian continued to boil water by the fire. Xia Shu picked up the cup and took a sip, and smelled a taste of rust.

This water is melted from clean snow balls and boiled in a small pot by the logistics team for use as a supply.

There are snow and woods all around, making it easy to obtain materials.

This also saves the logistics personnel from having to carry more than ten kilograms of water when bringing supplies, which is exhausting.

Natsuki looked at the sleeping bags and packages lying around and asked, "Are they all going to monitor?"

She remembered that there weren't so many surveillance points.

Qingxian handed the heated fried noodles to Xia Shu and said, "It was too cold to sleep, so the captain took the rest of the people to patrol the valley in the early morning."

Xia Shu nodded, took the hot noodles and ate them.

Then he drank some water, took off his coat, got into his sleeping bag, and fell asleep next to the battle blade.

I didn't sleep very well that night. I felt cold and windy.

I could hear footsteps and the sound of things being put away one after another.

When she woke up, the bonfire was still lit, but a lot of snowflakes had accumulated on her sleeping bag.

She climbed out of her sleeping bag and shivered all over when the cold wind blew.

She quickly pulled her coat out of the snow, shook it out, and put it on.

"Awake?" The logistics team leader sat by the campfire and handed her a cup of hot water.

Xia Shu sat by the campfire for a while and looked up at the sky again.

The mountain wind began to blow, rustling, and snow began to fall from the sky.

Fortunately, the location here is good and can avoid the wind and snow, with only occasionally a few snowflakes falling below the cliff.

Xia Shu turned around and saw a pile of supplies next to the campfire, so he asked the logistics team leader, "Where is the military affairs chief?"

The logistics team leader raised her thick eyebrows, and it was like two leaves moving on her forehead.

Because of her magical eyebrows, others call her "Eyebrow Sister" or "Eyebrow Sergeant", but Xia Shu is more accustomed to calling her the logistics team leader.

Eyebrows said, "The purser is taking the other four people back to get supplies. It's their first time and they don't know the route, so the purser is worried that they will get lost."

"Your logistics team is very good at finding the way." Xia Shu said casually.

"Haha," Mei Mao laughed and said, "How can we guarantee logistics if we can't even find the way?"

After chatting for a while, a man came down from upstairs.

Xia Shu turned his head and saw Qingxian, whose body was covered with snow.

She handed the gun to Mei Mao, who put on his coat and cloak and went up to stand guard.

A sentry post was also set up above the supply point, and several people from their logistics support team took turns to stand guard.

Qingxian trembled as he walked across the snow pile to the campfire, but accidentally stepped into the snow pile. The snow pile moved and a sleeping bag emerged.

Xia Shu looked and saw that it was Doragon.

This guy was sleeping in the snow with a few other people.

Seeing the girls in the snow pile, Xia Shu remembered something and turned to look at the battle blade in the sleeping bag.

Zhan Jian's breathing was very steady, with only a few snowflakes falling on his face.
