It was difficult to move through the dense forest, but there were fewer landmines. Once out of the forest, they quickly reached the passage cleared by the first two sweeps. Even if there were new minefields, they were recent, easier to detect, and limited in number. The team's progress was faster than the previous times.
The seven-person team was well-disguised, as they were crossing between two military positions in broad daylight. Not only did they wear straw hats woven from branches and vines, but their bodies were also camouflaged with soft grass and vines. Crouching down in place, they were almost invisible until one got close.
