Lin Ma faced a rather awkward dilemma: Should she return to base or not? If she didn't, Maya's condition might worsen, perhaps to the point where she wouldn't even have the strength to climb the power lines. While Lin Wu could drag Maya along the wires, Maya still had to climb over the electricity towers and manage the safety ropes on her own.
Given Maya's personality, she certainly wouldn't give up that easily. After all, it was just a fever caused by a cold, which should pass as long as she gritted her teeth and endured.
Lin Wu finished work early today and made some hot water using garbage as fuel after getting back to the base. Maya's condition had worsened, showing signs of a physical reaction to both cold and heat. Maya commented on this, saying, "It just goes to show the importance of combat medicine."
