As mentioned earlier.

In previous negotiations, the Rabbits and the Barbarians reached an agreement to provide sterile equipment aid.

This is also a crucial link in the entire trade.

However, sterile equipment, while simple in theory, is very difficult to implement in practice.

Because the entire system setup is not something that can be accomplished by flipping a switch; it involves numerous details in daily life.

For example, eating habits, hygiene habits, and even bedroom habits, etc.

Therefore, to establish the entire system, it needs specialized personnel to provide guidance and assistance.

Additionally, the Rabbits have a strong curiosity about the situation behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range, ensuring they wouldn't miss such a 'natural guide' opportunity.

Thus, after detailed discussion.

The command decided to dispatch a medical team to the Barbarian tribe for technical support and exploration.

The entire team consists of fifteen people.

It's not that the Rabbits were unwilling to send more accompanying warriors, but because the suitable upper limit for an expert team is just that much.

One could say the Barbarians are simple, or say they are honest.

But no matter what, they can't be considered foolish.

Explaining a dozen people as needing professional hands is possible, but any more, and anyone would suspect something unusual.

Among these fifteen, five are genuine medical experts, and two are translators.

The remaining eight are seasoned scouts.

They are equipped with multiple recording devices and various power sources to gather important information along the way.

In essence, the mission of the medical team isn't much different from Taihe Building.

Plainly speaking, both are ways to gather intelligence, with cooking and medical aid merely being a facade.

But the biggest difference between the medical team and Taihe Building is that their mission this time is a complete 'silent operation.'

Silent doesn't mean not speaking but not using any means to contact the command center.

Unless unexpectedly.

The last information the command can grasp is their position entering the Celestial Moon Mountain Range.

Because as they enter the main body of the mountain range, in this region, the signal will completely fail like the reconnaissance aircraft before, unable to follow even a step further.

Therefore, once into the mountain range, all real-time information from the medical team cannot be relayed back.

To put it harshly, they can't even be sure if they will safely return to Chixian City.

Because there are too many possible changes:

For instance, accidents on the road, unexpected tribal hostilities, or even an enemy striking causing the Yange Tribe to face annihilation....

Therefore, Lin Ziming spoke with a heavy tone, for this was the first operation beyond the Rabbits' control.

However, unlike the solemn expression of Lin Ziming, Bao Xin appeared extraordinarily calm:

"Colonel Lin, don't worry, we can take care of ourselves.

It's just going out to provide medical aid, something I'm quite adept at.

Besides, with so many comrades protecting us, I believe no big problems will occur along our way."

Lin Ziming remained silent for a while, slowly exhaling:

"Let's hope so."

Although they said this, those present were already prepared for some possibilities in their hearts.

Then Lin Ziming looked toward Shi Yin, the member he was most worried about:

"Xiaoshi, are you ready? Once we hit the road, there's no turning back."

Shi Yin pouted defiantly:

"Colonel Lin, do you take me for a naive kid?

I went with the peacekeepers to Africa back in the day, not that fragile."

Seeing Lin Ziming about to say something more, Bao Xin on the side couldn't help adding:

"Colonel Lin, you might not know.

To get used to those harsh environments, apart from translation roles, Xiaoshi spent the past week with Director Liu."

"Director Liu?"

"That's Director Liu Zhenhan from the Demon Beast Management Center."

Bao Xin pointed to Shi Yin, showing a wry smile:

"This girl, quietly set up a shack at the Demon Beast Management Center, tolerating all sorts of smells for a whole week, until she was fully adapted to that stink before reporting to the organization."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ziming was truly stunned.

Due to personnel management not being his main responsibility, he only got to know the accompanying personnel after receiving the list.

If there was anyone in the group he deemed least reliable, it was undoubtedly Shi Yin.

This had nothing to do with gender discrimination or anything of the sort, purely because of individual constitution or tolerance differences.

While Shi Yin persisted into the tent through sheer willpower last time, anyone with good eyes could see how hard it was for her.

And the environment within the Yange Tribe will surely be worse than the base.

Truth be told.

Lin Ziming himself wasn't entirely confident he could immediately adapt to the environment there.

Additionally, due to personnel constraints, only two translators were sent this time by the Rabbits.

If Shi Yin has issues, the remaining translator would face significant pressure.

But on the other hand, not sending Shi Yin would be inappropriate.

Because during this time, she has been responsible for translation, and her relationship with the entire Barbarian Merchant Team is far superior to others.

This relationship is a crucial link in a completely unfamiliar environment.

Thus, Lin Ziming was deeply conflicted and had no confidence that Shi Yin wouldn't hold them back.

But who would've thought...

This seemingly gentle, short-haired girl, to adapt to the Barbarian Tribe, actually spent an entire week at the Demon Beast Research Institute?

We must understand.

Since most captured demon beasts are quite strong, the Rabbits take much harsher and rudimentary measures to manage them.

Meaning mostly restricting freedom, ignoring everything else, and not even thinking of automated cleanup or the like.

Only at the Double-headed Bull Breeding Center is slightly better because it's for future food supply after all.

Plus, due to the light gate's limited capacity, transporting a cleaning system for cleanliness isn't necessary, as most people generally don't stay there long, and those like Liu Zhenhan in breeding have long adapted to such environments — for them, performing artificial insemination on a cow while eating packed lunches is quite normal.

Therefore, the environment at the Demon Beast Research Center has always been extremely harsh, with demon beast waste common and the smells unbearable.

If Shi Yin can endure a week at the Demon Beast Research Institute, the Barbarian tribe environment is nothing.

Though the Barbarians are primitive, they wouldn't sleep next to their waste, right?

One can only be surprised at the determination and perseverance of this delicate short-haired girl.

Looking at Lin Ziming's complex expression,

Shi Yin, full of confidence, waved her tiny fist:

"Colonel Lin, now do you believe I won't fall behind?"

Lin Ziming remained silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled:

"Yes, I believe you now, Comrade Shi Yin."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Chen Jinping, responsible for checking the cruxite and other materials, quickly approached:

"Colonel Lin, all materials have been checked, matching our agreement."

Lin Ziming nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

Completing the material check meant only the final signing remained for a successful transaction.

This also meant....

It was time for Bao Xin and the others to depart.

Lin Ziming took a deep breath, pulling two communicators from his pocket:

"Academician Bao, once you leave, you might not return for at least a year.

So take these two communication devices.

They can't be used presently, but they preset our exclusive satellite military code and are long-term effective.

If one day our satellite goes into orbit, they will automatically power on, and we can communicate then.

Of course.

Perhaps before the satellite launch, you'll have already returned safely."

Bao Xin took the communicator, carefully storing it, and patted Lin Ziming's shoulder:

"Colonel Lin, this is where we part."

Lin Ziming glanced at everyone, giving a solemn salute:

"Comrades, the mountains are high, the road is long, take care!"
