Chapter 20: Lin Jia

"Anyone?!"

Unlike the vigilant Hu Zhijun, when they heard this, both Su Yichen and Wan Changchun were pleasantly surprised, they didn't expect that there were other people in this place besides the three of them, no matter who the other party was, if they could communicate with him, they might be able to completely figure out the secrets here.

As a soldier, Hu Zhijun didn't think so, knowing that his first task was to ensure the safety of the two experts behind him. Hu Zhijun, who was walking in the front, when he turned the corner and saw a figure not far away, the vigilance and sensitivity of the soldier immediately made him react.

At present, the Bayi bar carried by Hu Zhijun has long been lost in the desert, and he only has a pistol. But even if there is no spear, it is no problem to ensure Su Yichen's safety with the short spear in his hand, behind the wall where his body is hidden, Hu Zhijun raised his hand and made a gesture to Su Yichen behind him, signaling them to hide and not show their heads, and then cautiously leaned forward quickly.

Because of the preparation, although Hu Zhijun only leaned out for less than a second, he could still clearly see that there was indeed a person not far away, and it was a man in gray clothes.

"Yes, there are people." Hu Zhijun said to Su Yichen in a low voice.

"I'll take a look at ......." After hearing this, Su Yichen was anxious to take a look, but was stopped by Hu Zhijun: "Wait until I see if there is any danger first." ”

"But ......." Su Yichen was eager to communicate with that person at this moment, including asking about the situation in this place, but before he could finish speaking, Wan Changchun behind him pressed his shoulder hard: "Don't worry, listen to Lao Hu." ”

Nodding at Wan Changchun, Hu Zhijun took a deep breath, he quickly leaned in and looked in the direction of the man again, this time, he found that the other party didn't seem to have moved, and still seemed to be sitting against the wall.

"Hey! Feed! Hu Zhijun thought for a while, held the muzzle of the gun upward, maintained a posture that could shoot forward at any time, and shouted a few times in the direction of the man: "This comrade! Feed! Can you hear me? Homosexuals! ”

But the strange thing is that the other party didn't answer, Hu Zhijun couldn't help frowning, could it be that the other party is deaf? He looked around again, and found that the man was still not moving, at this time Hu Zhijun couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he hesitated for a moment, and then took a spare bullet from the holster, aimed at the other party, raised his hand and threw the bullet in the direction of the man.

With a soft click, Hu Zhijun's hand was very good, and the bullet he threw out hit the man, then bounced to the ground, and finally rolled on the ground a few times before gradually coming to a standstill.

Hu Zhijun kept an eye on the other party's movements after throwing the bullet, but when the bullet hit the other party, the man sitting on the ground was still motionless, and even the bullet that bounced off his body rolled on the ground, and the person did not react.

"Don't come out, I'll go and see." Hu Zhijun felt a little strange, and decided to prepare to go over to have a look, and turned back to Su Yichen and told them.

"Be careful, old Hu."

Hu Zhijun nodded slightly, then slowly took a step forward, and then took a second step, revealing the whole person from behind the curve. Hu Zhijun, who directly faced the man not far away, did not have the slightest carelessness, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand was always pointed at the other party, as long as the other party made a slight movement, his gun could be fired at the first time. Standing in place first, looking at the direction of the man, Hu Zhijun shouted a few more times, but when he saw that the other party still did not react, Hu Zhijun walked over cautiously and slowly.

The man's position was not far from the bend they were on, about a dozen meters away. After a while, Hu Zhijun came to the man's side, and when he walked in front of the other party, Hu Zhijun seemed to see something very surprised, first let out a soft shout, then put down the gun in his hand, and finally even squatted down.

"How's it going, old Hu?" Hu Zhijun didn't hear back for a while after passing, Su Yichen, who was hiding behind the bend, couldn't bear it anymore after waiting for a while, he looked around tentatively, and when he saw Hu Zhijun squatting in front of the man and seemed to be observing something, he couldn't help but shout.

"It's okay, come here." Hu Zhijun replied in the direction of Su Yichen and them, and at this time Su Yichen and Wan Changchun breathed a sigh of relief, and the two turned out from behind the bend and hurriedly walked in the direction where Hu Zhijun was.

"What's the matter with this man?" Walking closer, Su Yichen realized that something seemed wrong, and looking at the person sitting against the wall still motionless, he couldn't help but ask.

"It's a corpse." Hu Zhijun replied softly, with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Corpses? Dead man!" Su Yichen and Wan Changchun looked at each other, neither of them expected that what they would meet in this place was actually a dead person, when they turned to the person who was sitting, or the front of the corpse, and saw his face clearly, they found that this person was indeed dead.

Although the corpse still maintains its previous posture from the surface, and the corpse does not decompose for unknown reasons, the corpse's face, including all parts of the body, has been weathered and shriveled, the skin of the corpse is a sauce gray, and the fat under the skin has long lost its full posture, and it has dried and contracted together with the muscles, just like a balloon that has been drained of air, leaving only the outer skin directly against the bones.

Judging from the face of the corpse and gray hair, the age of the other party should be between fifty and sixty, the deceased is wearing a gray field work uniform, which looks a little like the uniform of the exploration team, the lower body is a pair of blue trousers, a white shirt in the jacket, a black scarf around the neck, a pair of glasses on the bridge of the nose, and a pen pinned to the chest of the uniform, The deceased was wearing a Shanghai brand watch that had stopped walking on his left hand, his palm was down on his lower abdomen, his right hand was weakly hanging down on his right leg, his head against the wall was tilted upward, and his mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to tell someone.

Looking at this person who had died, Su Yichen and Wan Changchun couldn't help but guess the identity of this person, and at the same time wondered why this person died inside this strange passage. Judging from the dress and dress of the other party, this man seems to be a field prospector, and most likely an exploration engineer, because he is just an ordinary exploration team member who does not carry a pen at all times, as well as the pair of glasses and his gray hair, including the judgment of age, all of which show the difference between him and ordinary exploration team members, just as they were thinking about these questions, Hu Zhijun suddenly said a word, and immediately transferred their attraction to the past.

"You know him? Lao Hu, you read that right? Wan Changchun asked in surprise.

Hu Zhijun nodded gloomily: "Although I haven't seen this person, I do know what he looks like, because he is Lin Jia." ”

"What did you say!"

At this moment, Wan Changchun was so shocked that he almost stared out his eyes, and grabbed Hu Zhijun's hand tightly: "Lin Jia? You say he's Lin Jia? Lao Hu, you ...... You can't be mistaken, right? ”

Hu Zhijun sighed, raised his hand and took out a photo from the pocket of his military uniform, and then handed the photo to Wan Changchun: "Lin Jia disappeared in the desert three years ago, when the Northwest Military Region organized a search work, and the 781 base also received the task of assisting in the rescue. ”

Wan Changchun took the photo, looked at the person in the photo carefully, and then looked at the appearance of the corpse in front of him. Sure enough, as Hu Zhijun said, although the body has been weathered and shriveled up, while retaining most of his appearance, it can still be identified as the same person in the photos corresponding to Lin Jia's death.

Wan Changchun slowly stood up, solemnly dressed himself, then took off his hat, and then bowed to the corpse.
