Chapter 159: Seeing the Light of Day Again (Third Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
Half an hour later, Lin Jianxue rushed to the location of Wan Yi and Wang Xiaoshan with all the members of the exploration team, and after getting out of the car, Lin Jianxue asked Wang Xiaoshan with a cold face what happened.
"Team Lin, look over there." Wang Xiaoshan stretched out his hand to point in the direction of the left front, and Lin Jianxue raised the high-powered telescope to look there, but it was this glance that made his expression suddenly grim.
"When did you find out?"
"Just now, Xiao Wan found it from the spirit level." Wang Xiaoshan replied.
Lin Jianxue pursed his lips and said nothing, at this time, Zhang Liyun, who was beside him, also held a telescope and looked over there, and after looking at it for a long time, he said, "Lao Lin, let's go and see it first." ”
Nodding silently, Lin Jianxue decided to personally lead the team over to see the situation, the target was about 3 kilometers away from their position, and judging from the undulating shape of the sand dunes in the distance, it was likely that there was quicksand over there. It was very unsafe to go over recklessly, Lin Jianxue was the captain of the exploration team, and he had the most experience, so he decided to take Wang Xiaoshan alone to take a look.
"Team Lin, I'm going too." Just as Lin Jianxue and Wang Xiaoshan were ready, Wan Yi suddenly made a request.
"What are you going to do? You kid don't make a mess, so stay here with everyone. Wang Xiaoshan didn't want to think about it, so he blocked back with a word.
Wan Yi hesitated, but still insisted: "Team Lin, Brother Wang, I am here for an internship, and I discovered the situation over there first, I know that you are worried about my safety, but I am not a waste, you can rest assured, I will follow your footprints, I will never run around, I just want to take this opportunity to exercise myself." ”
"Xiao Wan, you ......." Zhang Liyun felt that it was too dangerous and was about to persuade a few words, but Lin Jianxue raised his head to stop him from talking. Lin Jianxue glanced at Wan Yi, thought for a while, and said, "I can promise to take you there, but in front of me, I will listen to the command in action, understand?" ”
"Understood!" Wan Yi didn't expect Lin Jian to agree to his request, and he was overjoyed.
Zhang Liyun was a little incomprehensible to Lin Jianxue's decision. But Lin Jianxue whispered that "people who engage in geological exploration never grow up in greenhouses", and Zhang Liyun no longer persuaded him. Indeed, who like them has never encountered danger in their work? If it was just ordinary research, Wan Yi wouldn't need to come to the team to suffer with everyone, not to mention that Wan Yi's appearance these days is all in tears, and letting him exercise properly is also part of the internship, and more importantly, Lin Jianxue and Wang Xiaoshan are both extremely experienced veteran exploration team members, and it should be fine to have them in front of Wan Yi to take care of him.
Lin Jianxue was right. After walking about 2 kilometers in the direction of that side, they found signs of suspected quicksand, and with their rich experience, Lin Jianxue and Wang Xiaoshan, who were exploring the way in front, easily bypassed an area of quicksand and continued to move towards the goal. But after walking about a few hundred meters or so, Lin Jianxue stopped and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong, Team Lin?"
"Don't you think this quicksand is a little strange?"
"Strange?" Wang Xiaoshan subconsciously looked back at the area where he had passed through the guò just now, and was suddenly stunned: "Hey, don't say it." I didn't pay attention to it just now, and I thought it was a little strange for you to mention it. ”
"Strange. How strange is it? Wan Yi, who was following behind, heard their conversation and couldn't help but ask.
It is difficult to explain this problem in a complex way, but it is simply said that there are several factors in the formation of quicksand in the desert, the common one is an underground river that is dry underground or a building hidden by the desert, etc., and the area of the upper layer covered by sand is formed when gravity and buoyancy reach a state of equilibrium. The other is an area of quicksand formed by the sand dunes that are pushed forward by the wind. In particular, the sand dunes are pushed forward by the wind without being blocked in front, and for this reason, it is easy to cause the formation of quicksand.
However, although there is a possibility of quicksand forming in the area they are in now, the quicksand does not look like it was formed in terms of size and shape, including the location of nearby sand dunes. This is what makes Lin Jianxue feel strange.
"Maybe it's a piece of quicksand that is fading away, but it makes sense if you explain it that way." Wang Xiaoshan thought about it and said, Lin Jianxue nodded silently, Wang Xiaoshan's explanation makes sense theoretically, but the problem is that if the quicksand is calculated according to time in the process of evolution and disappearance, it will be a not short process, based on the current shape, size and surrounding environment of this quicksand, then its area was very large at the beginning, like such a huge quicksand area, Lin Jianxue, who has worked in the desert for so many years, has never encountered it.
Ignoring this issue for the time being, Lin Jianxue asked everyone to pay attention to safety and continue to move towards the goal. After dozens of minutes, they finally came to the vicinity of the target, and for the sake of safety, the three of them did not rush over directly, but first determined whether there was any quicksand near the target.
Lin Jianxue and Wang Xiaoshan were exploring the road, and Wan Yi stood in place looking at the target, which was already nearly 100 meters away. At this distance, he could already clearly see that this was an old-fashioned 212 military jeep, the canvas on the jeep had long been torn to pieces, the whole car was tilted 120 degrees at a strange angle, four tires that had only a layer of rubber skin were slanted upward, one-fifth of the body was buried in the sand, and not far from the car, about 50 meters or so, a humanoid object was lying on the sand in a strange posture, although the face could not be seen clearly, it could be distinguished from the clothes worn, I can vaguely make out that it should be an old-fashioned military uniform.
Lin Jianxue and Wang Xiaoshan took a look separately and quickly confirmed that the nearby area was safe. When they returned to Wan Yi's location and were about to beckon him to go over, Wang Xiaoshan suddenly found that Wan Yi's face was suddenly very ugly, his hands were clenched, and his body was even trembling slightly.
"What's wrong, Xiao Wan? Isn't it uncomfortable? ”
"I didn't ...... It's okay...... It's just a little ....... Wan Yi shook his head and said.
Wang Xiaoshan sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing, it's common for us to meet dead people in the desert at work, okay, don't think nonsense, didn't you kid just say that you want to exercise?" Let's go, let's go over and have a look, and when we experience it this time, we will get used to it. ”
Wan Yi didn't say anything, he followed Wang Xiaoshan and walked towards the jeep, and it didn't take long for them to come to the jeep, afraid that Wan Yi would have a psychological blow if he looked at the corpse directly, so Wang Xiaoshan went to check the corpse, you must know that although the corpse that died in the desert will not decay, the dried corpse formed after losing water is not so good-looking. As for Wan Yi, he stayed with Lin Jianxue at the jeep for the time being, checking the remaining items in the car together.
The old 212 jeep, which had been in the desert for an unknown number of years, looked intact on the surface, but the interior had long since become an empty shelf, and the contents were gone, except for some broken strips of canvas and yellow sand everywhere. Lin Jianxue asked Wan Yi to rummage through with him to see if there was anything noteworthy, such as some items that could prove the identity of the car and the corpse. But the two rummaged for a while, but they didn't find anything, just when Wan Yi was extremely disappointed in his heart, the corner of his eyes suddenly swept to the corner of the sand about a meter away from the car, and something seemed to be exposed.
Hurriedly stepped forward and bent down, Wan Yi carefully gouged the thing out of the sand with both hands, only to find that it was a torn and unshapedly book. The cover of the book has long been gone, and most of the paper inside has been missing, open the book and look at the contents, the handwriting is also blurred, and when Wan Yi turned to the last page, he saw a vaguely recognizable signature on the bottom page, this signature he has been familiar with since he was a child, because this is the three words "Wan Changchun", seeing the signature Wan Yi was stunned like a lightning strike, holding the book in his hand and instantly burst into tears. (To be continued......)
