Chapter 574: "Forced March" 2-Man Team
Su Mang's group was moving even faster.
From the very beginning, Fast and his team took over the military doctor's backpack. The five of them took turns carrying it, while the two girls traveled lightly.
Even so, they were still out of breath and sometimes even had to jog a few steps to keep up.
Because Kane and Finn didn't care at all and just kept on going, as if they really cared about the "wounded" who was waiting to be rescued.
The remaining three were puzzled, but in order to prove themselves, they followed closely. It was just hard for Su Mang and Wang Jingyi.
When they saw the river appear, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they could finally rest for a while.
As a result, Kane asked directly: "Can you two swim?"
Wang Jingyi nodded without any precautions, but Su Mang had an idea in his mind.
She had never been exposed to swimming before. Swimming was an elective course she learned after entering university. The school stipulated that every student in the military medical department must be able to swim and pass a swimming test. If this skill is not passed within six years of school, it will be noted in the file. They will also miss the opportunity to be outstanding graduates and other recommendations.
So, Su Mang took it down early, but she didn't say it explicitly.
"I can swim a little, but not very well. Is this river... deep?" She glanced at the river with a somewhat timid look in her eyes.
Wang Jingyi also realized that Kane's question meant that they should swim over by themselves, so she immediately regretted it and said anxiously, "Me too!"
They had only swam in the gym's swimming pool before, so how could it compare to this natural environment? The psychological feeling alone was different.
At this time, the military doctor's backpack was on Fast and Erwin.
Kane suggested to Finn: "I'll take one and you take one, OK?"
"Ah."
Both of them wanted a quick victory.
The remaining boy in the team also wanted to help, so he said to Finn, "Then give me your backpack."
Su Mang's heart couldn't help but beat fast when she saw that her plan worked. Especially after she saw that Wang Jingyi chose Kane, who was a little more familiar to her, because she was afraid of Finn, she swallowed her saliva to suppress her nervousness.
The seven people got ready and jumped into the water one after another.
Su Mang also walked to Finn and said shyly and a little embarrassedly: "I am sorry for being a burden to you, senior. What should I do?"
"Isn't it something we learn in the first class about how to save ourselves when we fall into the water and how to wait for rescue?" Finn glanced at her.
"I... I'm sorry, I forgot and didn't think of it for a moment." Su Mang lowered his head, his tone a little lost.
However, Finn had no time to watch her performance and waded directly into the river.
Seeing this, Su Mang hurriedly followed. When the water level reached above the waist, he turned around, raised his feet, lay in the water, tilted his head back, and floated up.
She had expected Finn to do the standard thing, with his arms under her arms and across her chest, his other hand resting under her chin.
But a strong force came from the back of her neck, pulling her forward suddenly.
Like dragging cargo, Finn actually grabbed Su Mang's collar and dragged her away!
Finn was very strong, and his legs were long and powerful. Every time he kicked his legs, he would swim nearly a meter. Although he was fast, he exerted great force. Every time he relaxed, Su Mang's head would sink into the water, then be pulled up again, and then sink again...
After choking on the water several times, Su Mang finally recovered and the two of them had already swam to the middle of the river.
When they opened their eyes, they found that Kane and Wang Jingyi, who had entered the water earlier than them, were left behind.
Although they were a little behind, they looked stable, unlike her, who looked so embarrassed.
Su Mang wiped the water off her face and wanted to remind Finn to slow down, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the water poured into her throat, making her gag.
Finally reaching the other side, Su Mang looked pale, could not stand steadily, and could not stop coughing. He looked very weak.
Seeing this, Finn passed through her armpits from behind and prepared to drag her ashore. However, Su Mang seized the opportunity, turned around quickly, and put her arms around his neck.
Finn felt unhappy, and the strange aroma that came to his nose made him disgusted.
Without saying anything, he waited until he reached the shore, then he tore the person off his arms and put him on the ground, then went to find his teammates to get his backpack.
After a while, Wang Jingyi also came up.
Seeing Su Mang lying there, he went over and asked with concern: "Su Su, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Cough! Cough cough! It's okay... I just choked..."
Fast said in a reproachful manner: "Finn, you are too ignorant of being gentle and considerate to women. This is a girl, not a rough guy in our class."
Finn took off his coat and was wringing out the moisture from it. Hearing this, he replied nonchalantly, "You have no experience. Why don't you let Your Highness handle this matter next time?"
Fast choked.
Su Mang quickly propped herself up and stood up, saying, "Senior Finn didn't mean it. Blame it on me..."
"I wish I had learned how to swim sooner."
Su Mang had just come out of the water, her whole body was wet, her hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks, which made her face look even whiter. She was like a small white flower covered with dew. Especially when she smiled weakly, people immediately felt pity for her.
"Let's go. We are still two-thirds of the way to the hideout." Finn said expressionlessly.
Unromantic - except Kane, the other three all complained in their hearts.
"We've been walking for such a long time and have just consumed a lot of physical energy. Let's rest here for ten minutes." Fast couldn't help but contradict Finn.
He was proud of his position and didn't like to be told what to do. He should be the one to take the lead.
"Wild beasts will come to the river to drink water. Your Highness, are you sure we want to rest here?"
Fast froze, but Su Mang looked at Finn with even more admiration.
Erwin quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Your Highness must have thought of that, but he took into consideration that our teammates seemed to have some difficulty in moving."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Mang, and Finn also turned his gaze to her.
Su Mang slowed down her breathing and gritted her teeth, "I can hold on."
"In that case, why don't we hurry on our way and then take a break when we are halfway there?" Alvin suggested a compromise.
Fast had a way out and agreed, but he still secretly cursed the two men for being abnormal.
He didn't know that Kane and Finn had an even crazier idea at the beginning, which was to turn directly west and cross half of the forest to meet up with Selire.
If it were just the two of them, they would definitely do so. Unfortunately, there were other people in the team, so they could only finish it as quickly as possible and then pay attention to the situation over at Selvie's place.
