Chapter 350 - 350 350 Tense Emotions
?Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Tense Emotions Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Tense Emotions They had already reached the front lines, and it was best not to think about anything. Bai Xiao reminded herself that she was a doctor now, which meant she had entrusted her fate to the team. The more she thought, the more she was merely burdening herself with worries.
She could distinctly feel the mood of her teammates becoming more tense.
In fact, everyone was worried, including herself.
Since they had arrived here, there was no other choice.
The convoy followed the team, passing the big mountain ahead. They could see a wooden sign on the side of the road, larger than a basketball backboard, with “Entering Artillery Fire Blockade Zone” heavily painted in black.
The members of the Health Team knew nothing about the situation ahead, their anxiety utterly unabated. Everyone’s face was pale, their eyes fixed on the convoy ahead, silently praying. The convoy ahead must not stop, for everyone knew that a stop meant trouble.
The team members who had been to the front had already educated them: if a vehicle encountered danger while on the move, it would stop and hide.
And now, the mountain roads were difficult to navigate.
It wasn’t just that the road was narrow, but also full of curves.
“Bai Xiao, aren’t you scared?”
Liu Yun, sitting next to her, gently questioned Bai Xiao. The medical staff, including doctors and nurses from various hospitals, had been hurriedly ordered to join the Health Team. None of them had ever been to the front before, and thus had no idea what it was like.
But it didn’t stop them from hearing about many things at the front.
Although everyone had heard that hostilities had ceased at the front for now,
many also heard that friction was almost constant.
Where there was friction, of course, there could be stealth attacks.
“Scared! But what can being scared do? I am a doctor, and apart from obeying orders, it seems I have no choice,” Bai Xiao’s smiling face alleviated Liu Yun’s tension.
“You’re really good, not married yet, unlike me, I’m married and have kids, so I always end up worrying about this and that, which is a heavy mental burden,” she added.
Their female teammate, Wang Ping, chimed in, “Exactly, if I had known I’d be here, I wouldn’t have had a child last year. If something happens to me, it’s okay, but leaving a child motherless, that’s truly pitiful.”
“That can’t be right, we’re medics, aren’t we supposed to stay in the tents and treat the injured? It seems it has nothing to do with us.” They did not know what exactly medics did on the battlefield?
In fact, everyone assumed they would just be in the tents treating and saving the injured.
“Though they say there is no war now, this kind of friction often results in a situation where a shell comes flying. Bullets and shells are blind; how would they know whether you are a medic or someone else?”
“Let’s not think too much. Our Health Team has a men’s division too. Usually, those accompanying them to the front are men from their team, unless they are short-handed. Only then might we possibly go forward to assist. Otherwise, they tend to keep us in a safe area, so let’s not worry unnecessarily,” another reassured.
Bai Xiao comforted everyone! In truth, she was also unsure, merely speaking off the cuff based on her own assumptions that the team was humane.
She believed they generally wouldn’t let women risk their lives unless absolutely necessary.
At that moment, the convoy had stopped.
Someone ran up from the front to inform them that they would need to proceed on foot from now on.
Firstly, it had gotten dark.
They could not use any flashlights or have any light sources.
Each person had to follow closely behind another, ensuring they could see clearly and walk steadily.
The Health Team was assigned to the middle of the formation.
