After resting for just three minutes, the group of hastily arrived soldiers split into two small teams.
One team had seven members, the other had six plus a military dog.
Amidst the heartfelt wishes from surrounding family members and the blessings of all the camp personnel.
They ventured into the depths of the Ailao Mountain, known as the forbidden zone.
Their silhouettes were determined, and their steps steady.
After bidding farewell to the military rescue team known as Team One, Xu Yong and his colleagues from the police immediately returned to the tent.
They were responsible for providing logistical support here.
Meanwhile, they were also the only link between this lone troop entering Ailao Mountain and the outside world.
The surrounding family members watched as the camouflage uniforms of the soldiers merged with the vegetation on the mountain, then reluctantly returned to their tents.
