The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

The group quickly met up near the motorcycle.

The vehicle could no longer proceed further.

The group turned on their lights and began hiking along the route marked by the drone.

Watch your step!

"There are many loose rocks ahead, keep your distance!"

Luo Zhiyong walked at the very front.

Ga Wa kept adjusting his direction based on the terrain, while Ma Huijun walked in the middle of the group with a map and coordinates.

Xu Guodong and Liu Kai were responsible for scouting the steeper areas.

Song Yuan and Wang Guoqing protected the stretcher and emergency supplies.

Wei Shanjia and Du Chengwu, who were in the best physical condition, took the initiative to carry most of the equipment on their backs.

The group advanced for more than ten minutes in the dark ravine.

A faint shout finally came from afar.

"here!"

"We're here!"

Ga Wa immediately responded in the local language.

"Don't move!"

"We are soldiers, we'll be there soon!"

Upon hearing the word "soldier," the voice on the other end became noticeably agitated.

After walking around a rock, the group finally spotted the missing siblings.

The young man in the blue jacket sat leaning against the ground, wearing only a thin garment.

His coat was already draped over his sister.

The girl was pale, her body was trembling, and her right leg was placed on the ground in an unnatural position.

"Don't touch her yet!"

Shen Yan quickly stepped forward.

He first confirmed that the girl was conscious, and then checked her breathing, pulse, and pupil response.

The girl was still relatively conscious.

His breathing was rapid, his pulse was also fast, and his limbs were cold, indicating obvious symptoms of hypothermia.

Her right calf was severely swollen, but there were no open wounds.

After a brief examination, Shen Yan made a preliminary diagnosis of a closed fracture.

"Does it hurt anywhere else?"

Are you feeling dizzy?

"Do you feel nauseous or want to vomit?"

The girl shook her head with difficulty.

"My legs hurt."

"cold……"

"Keep warm first!"

Shen Yan immediately said:

"Don't move her right leg!"

Song Yuan and Wang Guoqing quickly took out the thermal blanket.

Shen Yan wrapped the girl's body up and then used a splint from the first aid kit to temporarily immobilize her injured lower leg.

Before and after immobilization, he checked the girl's dorsalis pedis artery, toe sensation, and peripheral blood circulation.

After confirming that there were no obvious abnormalities, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing his sister being treated, the young man in blue seemed to suddenly lose his balance, and his body swayed.

Du Chengwu caught him.

"How are you?"

"fine."

The young man's lips were pale.

"I'm just a little cold."

Shen Yan then briefly checked his condition.

The young man had no obvious external injuries; his weakness was mainly caused by prolonged exposure to wind, dehydration, and excessive physical exertion.

"Give him something to eat, and transfer the wounded on a stretcher!"

"clear!"

Wei Shanjia immediately went to the stretcher.

"Shen Yan, don't worry!"

"Give me the stretcher!"

"I can do it all by myself..."

"Shut up!"

Luo Zhiyong interrupted him directly.

"This is for carrying the wounded, not for you to carry sacks!"

"Everyone, act according to your assigned tasks!"

Wei Shanjia quickly shut up.

Shen Yan and Song Yuan carefully transferred the girl to a stretcher.

Xu Guodong and Liu Kai used ropes to deal with a steep slope ahead.

Wang Guoqing was responsible for lighting and protecting the sides of the stretcher.

Wei Shanjia and Du Chengwu lifted the stretcher one after the other, while the others were ready to take turns.

The mountain road was rugged.

Some sections are only wide enough for one person to pass through at a time.

Every time the group moved forward a certain distance, the angle of the stretcher had to be readjusted.

Shen Yan stayed by the stretcher the whole time, observing the girl's consciousness and breathing, while reminding the people in front and behind to control their movements.

"Turn left ahead!"

"Raise the head of the stretcher a little higher!"

"Slow down! The injured man's right leg must not be subjected to impact!"

Everyone in the class played a role.

No one cared about the credit anymore.

They had only one thought left in their minds.

Make sure they get out safely!

Just as everyone was transferring the girl out of Black Stone Gully, a system notification sounded in Shen Yan's mind.

[The host is involved in a complex search and rescue operation for local residents in mountainous terrain!]

[Ability to diagnose and treat casualties in low-temperature environments has been improved to the point of mastery!]

[Expertise in coordinated stretcher transport across complex terrain!]

A wealth of relevant experience quickly entered Shen Yan's mind.

How to choose a safer transit route based on the terrain.

How to protect the wounded in low-temperature environments.

When the stretcher passes through steep slopes, gravel, and narrow areas, how should the angle be adjusted to reduce the vibration experienced by the injured person?

Shen Yan quickly put these experiences into practice.

Under his command, the speed of the transfer increased significantly!

It was a little after 8 p.m.

Finally, the team carried the girl back to the entrance of Heishigou.

The villagers waiting outside burst into tears upon seeing their children.

"Found it!"

"Found it!"

Local police and emergency responders have arrived at the scene.

The doctor gave the girl a brief examination.

After confirming that there were no problems with Shen Yan's temporary fixation, she was immediately sent to the hospital for further examination and treatment.

Her brother was also taken to the ambulance.

Although there were no serious external injuries, the prolonged exposure to cold and the physical exertion still require observation.

The fellow villagers held Chen Gang and Luo Zhiyong's hands, thanking them repeatedly.

The rest of the group stood to the side.

The uniforms were covered in dust and grass.

Wei Shanjia's trouser leg was also torn by a tree branch.

As everyone saw that the brother and sister had been safely taken away, smiles appeared on their faces.

Wei Shanjia wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I told you so."

"Following Shen Yan, you're sure to get rewards!"

Ga Wa glanced at Shen Yan, who was explaining the extent of his injuries to the doctor.

"friend."

"So many of us are clinging to Shen Yan's coattails."

"I'm worried his legs will go numb too!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Luo Zhiyong turned around and glared at him.

"What are you laughing at?"

"The mission isn't over yet!"

"Take inventory of personnel and equipment, prepare to return!"

"yes!"

……

After returning to the camp, the squad first returned the equipment and then checked the drones and first aid supplies.

Everyone was exhausted after a whole night of running around.

But he was unusually excited.

Wei Shanjia had already begun to imagine the future.

"This time, the entire class mobilized."

"If we're recognizing achievements, won't everyone get a share?"

Du Chengwu shook his head.

"It's not that easy!"

"It would be good enough to receive a commendation in the public notice."

Ma Huijun glanced at Shen Yan.

"We might not."

"Shen Yan definitely can't escape."

"He found the person using a drone, he determined the coordinates, and he also treated the girl's injuries."

"How could he possibly get away with this credit?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Shen Yan did not participate in the discussion.

He looked at the drone footage that had been exported and saved separately, and his expression gradually became serious.

He remained silent throughout the search and rescue operation.

I'm afraid that these guys in Class 1, who are so eager to make a name for themselves, will cause trouble for no reason because they think they're capable.

The person has now been found safe and sound.

This matter must be reported immediately!

Shen Yan picked up the storage device and went to Chen Gang's office alone.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

Shen Yan pushed open the door and went inside.

Chen Gang was organizing the records of the search and rescue operation when he saw him come in, and he looked puzzled.

"Is there anything else?"

"Reporting to the company commander."

"When I was searching for missing persons with drones, I unexpectedly discovered some unusual things."

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yan did not explain directly, but instead connected the storage device to the computer.

Soon, a dimly lit video feed from the drone appeared on the screen.

The horse caravan on the shallow river valley consisted of six men and eight horses!

All six men were carrying standard-issue rifles, and the other two horses were carrying a large number of packages!

Upon seeing this, Chen Gang's previously calm expression quickly turned serious.

"pause!"

The camera pauses on a bearded man raising his gun.

Chen Gang leaned closer to the screen and observed it carefully.

"When did you take this picture?"

"Report."

"This was captured unintentionally by the drone while it was searching for the second route."

"The location is in the river valley on the west side of Heishigou, about three kilometers away from where we found the brother and sister."

"There were six people on the other side, carrying multiple firearms, moving in a northwest direction."

"I paused for more than 20 seconds to take pictures of the people's faces, the horses' wrappings, and the direction of their movement, and then continued the search and rescue mission."

Chen Gang turned to look at Shen Yan.

"Why didn't you report it at the time?"

Shen Yan said with a hint of helplessness.

"Company commander, I don't know if this matter falls under our jurisdiction, especially since the other side has guns."

"Also, several veterans in my class were eager to make meritorious contributions and wanted to stay on for three terms. I was afraid something would happen, so I didn't dare tell you at the time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Gang felt a wave of fear wash over him!

Shen Yan is right!

He knew those guys in Class One's temper all too well!

What if a brilliant idea had come to mind at that moment, and they had prepared to ambush this cavalry?

Something really bad might happen!

"Xiao Shen, well done!"

"If the commotion had been too loud and attracted their attention, it might have really caused a disaster!"

"Keep this a secret for now, and don't discuss it with anyone else when you get back!"

"yes!"

After Chen Gang finished speaking, he immediately picked up the phone and reported the situation directly to the regimental headquarters!

The unit also took the news that a drone had captured footage of a suspicious cavalry unit carrying firearms very seriously.

After receiving the order, Chen Gang contacted the local public security authorities through military and police liaison channels.

The video footage, the time of discovery, the specific coordinates, and the direction the horse caravan was moving were all quickly transmitted.

After doing all this, Chen Gang replayed the video.

Although the scene was somewhat dark, the outlines of the people and their weapons were still clearly visible.

One of the bearded men even raised his gun and aimed it at the drone.

"You've got some nerve, kid."

Chen Gang glanced at Shen Yan.

"The other side has already raised their gun, and you still dare to stand there and take pictures?"

"Report."

"The drone was at a certain altitude above them."

"And I only stayed for about twenty seconds."

"After obtaining useful footage, I left immediately without continuing to follow them, so I shouldn't have attracted their attention."

Chen Gang stared at Shen Yan for a while, becoming more and more satisfied!

As expected of a top student, he is both brave and resourceful, yet not reckless!

If this were during the war years, it probably wouldn't have taken long for him to become someone of higher rank than himself!

"Good job! Go back and rest for a while!"

"When the police arrive later, they'll probably need your cooperation!"

"yes!"

Shen Yan saluted and left.

……

It was past 10 p.m.

Inside the dormitory of Class 1.

Wei Shanjia lay in bed, still too excited to sleep.

"I have a feeling our class will definitely get praised this time!"

"Maybe we can even get a collective third-class merit award!"

Du Chengwu said irritably:

"Wash your smelly shoes first, then we'll consider the collective third-class merit award."

"The whole dorm smells of your sweaty feet!"

Wei Shanjia lowered his head and took a sniff.

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Ga Wa quietly pulled the blanket up over her head.

"Hey buddy, your blanket won't get fleas even if you leave it in the grass!"

Wei Shanjia: "..."

Just as he was about to retort, the sound of vehicles suddenly came from the entrance of the camp.

The people in the dormitory immediately fell silent.

Wei Shanjia sat up from the bed.

"It's so late, who's coming to our company?"

Luo Zhiyong walked to the window and glanced out.

A special police vehicle was seen passing by outside the camp and eventually circled around to the camp gate.

"Stop watching, everyone!"

"This is none of your business, go to sleep!"

"I have to go to training tomorrow!"

Everyone had no choice but to lie down again.

But Wei Shanjia's eyes kept darting around in the darkness.

He felt as if today's events were not yet over!
