The tropical forest was hot and humid, and although there was a fan in the tent, even the breeze it blew was warm.
I moved a deck chair to the entrance of the tent, put in earbuds, and watched a pre-downloaded TV show.
Around noon, the foreign team suddenly carried someone back. They were carrying a stretcher, and the person on it was covered in blood, their exposed skin looked scorched, red or black.
It was likely they had been given sedatives, as the injured person wasn't shouting, and the accompanying doctor performed simple emergency treatment on the wounds.
I glanced over briefly and then returned my attention to the TV show. This was just the first; unless half were dead or injured, their leader wouldn't bother with us.
Compared to the chaos of the foreign team, Qinghan and I spent our days in leisurely ease, like a vacation.
Chen Qinghan wouldn't let me stare at my phone for too long, making me get up and move around every two hours.
