Encountering Armed Drug Dealers (,)
"I understand."
Lin Chen nodded and said. Lande Village was located in the border area, so it was normal for some cross-border drug dealers to appear around it.
"Then everyone try to lighten the load."
Lin Chen continued,""Herbs have the characteristics of regional distribution, so every time I find a herb, I will first collect a sample, and then everyone will spread out to search. Is there a problem?”
"No!"
The Fire Phoenix members answered in unison.
On the way here, they had already made a decision. They would not disobey any of Lin Chen's orders regarding medicine.
Xia Lan furrowed her brows slightly. If the team split up and encountered armed drug dealers, the danger would be greatly increased.
However, she did not say it out loud. She also knew that Lin Chen's arrangement was already the fastest and most effective method.
Moreover, if they didn't spread out, they wouldn't need to dispatch so many people to pick herbs.
"You can arrange the details."
Lin Chen turned to look at An Ran. He was only responsible for issuing orders regarding the collection of herbs. As for how to cover the enemy or how to group the team members, he still had to leave it to An Ran.
After all, she was the captain of the Fire Phoenix!
An Ran nodded. This concerned the safety of her team members, so she wouldn't be careless.
"Xiaoxiao, stay in the stronghold and rest. The rest of you, form groups of two. With Lin Chen and I as the center, spread out no more than three thousand meters in diameter. Also, bring all your combat equipment to prevent any unexpected situations.”
An Ran paused for a moment when she mentioned spreading out. After all, she was collecting herbs, so she couldn't shrink the distance too much.
However, a diameter of 3,000 meters was already the limit that she could give. Otherwise, if someone encountered an emergency, the other teams would not be able to quickly provide support.
With him and Lin Chen as the center, they could form any group at any time.
"Understood!"
The Fire Phoenix members, including Lin Chen, answered collectively. Although their voices were not loud, they were sonorous and powerful.
"Staff Officer Xia, which team do you want to follow?”
After receiving the team member's reply, Anran turned to look at Xia Lan. She had also heard Xia Lan's shout at Lin Chen just now.
Xia Lan turned to look at Lin Chen before saying,""I'll follow you and Lin Chen's team.”
She didn't explain the reason, but Anran's intuition told her that Advisor Xia was also interested in Lin Chen.
Otherwise, why would she look at Lin Chen?
Lin Chen didn't say anything. He knew that Xia Lan had glanced at him before answering the question, but he didn't want to interrupt An Ran's arrangements at this time.
As for why Xia Lan did that, he was not in the mood to guess.
The illnesses of the elderly with severe Dengue fever and the abnormality of the Fairy Doctor system were enough for him to consider.
"Alright, then Staff Officer Xia will be in our group.”
Anran said calmly without showing any emotion. Staff Officer Xia was a cadre of the armed police. If she was in the same group as her, she would be a good fighting force in case of an emergency.
After everything was ready, Lin Chen and the others took the wormwood and weapons and left Lande Village.
Lin Chen did not have a weapon, but he had more than just wormwood.
There were also compressed biscuits and purified water that An Ran had given him before he left.
However, these things did not last long. They had only left the village for half an hour before they were wiped out by Lin Chen.
Because Lin Chen was familiar with the growing environment of the herbs and Xia Lan was familiar with the terrain, the Fire Phoenix was able to gather the herbs extremely quickly.
In just three hours, he had already collected eight types of herbs. On average, he had collected one type of herb in more than twenty minutes.
This was even when they couldn't turn on the lights at night and could only rely on a little moonlight to collect them. Otherwise, the efficiency would be even higher.
The herbs that were collected were piled up at specific coordinates along the way, waiting to be collected when they returned.
After all, they might encounter armed drug dealers. If they carried a pile of herbs, it would be inconvenient for them to move.
Lin Chen, An Ran, and Xia Lan were currently lying in a pile of weeds, chatting softly.
This was something that could not be helped. They were the central coordinates of the other members of the Fire Phoenix team and could not move. In order to prevent being directly discovered by the armed drug dealers, they had to disguise themselves every time.
It was also this disguise that allowed Lin Chen to use resting as an excuse to drink the Shooting Mastery Soup in the Fairy Doctor's backpack the first time he stopped in place.
Right now, he was like an experienced sharpshooter.
He knew the trajectory changes of different bullets fired by different guns like the back of his hand.
"Has Advisor Xia been here for half a year?”
An Ran asked in a low voice.
" Yes." Xia Lan nodded." It's been more than half a year since the missions were completed."”
"No wonder you are so familiar with the terrain here.”
Lin Chen said. Every time he mentioned the growing environment of a herb, Xia Lan would be able to quickly lead the team to the corresponding location.
Previously, he had thought that Xia Lan had conducted a special tactical research on the terrain around Lande Village. Now, it seemed that it was also because Xia Lan had lived here for a long time.
"Shh…"
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, An Ran frowned and made a silent gesture.
"There's a group of people coming over. They're not members of our Fire Phoenix.”
After Lin Chen and Xia Lan quieted down, Anran explained softly.
