Chapter 7: The Wreckage
Caiya looked at Chen Yan, and seemed to be not very convinced by this temporary leader, and said without any emotion: "Give an explanation."
Damn, this is not the place to find faults, what kind of wind is this smoking.
What a cock recruit egg, with an unruly face, I saw his fists just clenched, and the green tendons on his forearms burst out, and I thought, it's not going to be, if you want to don't take the lead, you can't come up with this kind of thing.
Looking at the sprouts' eyes, I always felt in his eyes. Filled with something extremely profound,
Chen Yan was also stunned, and then calmed down, Chen Yan is not a soft egg, and he is also a person who will not admit it at any time. He also felt that the sprouts were a little strange, and he didn't have a seizure, so he took a few deep breaths, as if suppressing the urge to beat people, and said slowly:
"Comrade Caiya, a new recruit, has questions, let's tell you, you look at the shape of this desert, I dare to conclude that this is a semi-fixed desert hinterland, far from the desert border, within the boundaries of Inner Mongolia, the railway from Hohhot to Yinchuan just passes through the north of the Kubuqi Desert, we find the railway, even if we go out"
After speaking, he also stared at the sprouts,
Caiya regained her previous calm expression, said in a low voice: "Thank you", and then picked up all his equipment, stood up and waited for us.
Sun Tianpao got up on the ground and finished sorting out his backpack. The monkey also got up, plus Chen Yan and me, the four of us gathered in a circle and put our right fists together. With a serious expression,
It was one of our rituals, and the other three were ready, and I looked at the sprouts next to me and motioned for him to join in.
Cai Mei was a little hesitant and a little overwhelmed, and I smiled at him kindly. Caiya finally put the gun on her back, walked into the empty space next to me, and stretched out her fist as well,
In the vast desert, our heroic voices came from the voice
"Defend the Motherland, Defend the Brothers!"
We were proud, but when I saw the sprouts around me, my eyes were lonely, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
Packing up and heading north, we set off.
As the sun sets, our long shadows are reflected in the sand, following us all the way.
I don't know how far I went, but in short, the sun had sunk. The western sky was red,
At this time, we felt very comfortable, without the scorching of the sun, we felt a lot cooler, taking this opportunity, we quickened our pace, and walked for nearly 40 minutes, the sky had sunk, there was no sun to mark the direction, we had to sit down and rest, eat some compressed biscuits, and wait until later, the stars appeared in the sky, and we could continue to hurry.
Since there is no soil and water in the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, and during the day you may feel like you are in the oven, and at night, you will feel like you have fallen into the refrigerator, the sun sets, and the temperature drops dramatically. The five of us were enclosed under a sandy cliff, almost huddled together. The plan for a night walk was cancelled.
Sun Tianpao felt cold, so he turned to Chen Yan: "Comrade Captain, can we make a fire?"
Chen Yan glanced at him and said angrily: "Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to make a fire?" What about dry firewood? ”
The monkey seemed to think of Sun Tiancang's bubble of urine again, and wanted to have a seizure: "Damn it, I found out that you have a lot of empty cannons, just like a girl, you will be anxious to urinate, and you will make a fire, can you fucking live a little bit." ”
Sun Tianpao counterattacked: "What do you say, even Marx can't control such a thing as urgency, what can I do." Why don't you look at this, let's rummage through our backpacks and see if there is anything we can light for us to burn, first, to keep warm, and second, to lighten the load, how about it? ”
I think about the contents of my backpack, it seems that we all have Class B backpacks, except for the necessary ammunition, communication equipment, first aid kits, ropes, pneumatic climbing hooks, sleeping bags, etc., it seems that there is nothing to use as firewood. The others also shook their heads, indicating no.
At this time, Caiya walked towards me, and found his wolf-eye flashlight in his backpack, which was turned into a flash. He handed it to me, and then said to everyone in an unquestioning tone: "The night owl takes this flashlight and waits in place, while the other four move separately to see if there are any sand-tolerant and drought-tolerant shrubs that can be used as firewood." ”
What he meant was that if it was dark and everyone was prevented from getting separated, he would ask me to shoot around with a flashlight and give the four of them a lighthouse. If it doesn't work, shoot flares into the sky.
Everyone was taken aback by Caiya's irresistible temperament, and even Sun Tiancano, who was usually unconvinced, couldn't say anything. Everyone scattered in all directions.
I stood there and watched them disappear into the night, the light of a few flashlights fading away. I couldn't help but feel a little scared. In fact, I'm the most stubborn one in the whole team. If it weren't for Sun Tianpao and Chen Yan who had a good mix in private, it is estimated that they would not have been able to tolerate me, a waste wood teammate, for a long time.
There was silence all around, there was not a hint of wind, and in order to save money, our radio communication equipment was turned off, and there was a suffocating silence all around.
Several people disappeared into the darkness, and I felt a little panicked, holding the flashlight above my head and dangling it like a lighthouse.
I looked down at my glow-in-the-dark watch, they had been out for 40 minutes, and I could see the echo of the light of several flashlights in the distance. I feel a lot more at ease.
Suddenly, in the darkness in front of the right, a meteor-like red point of light suddenly rose into the sky, accompanied by a scream, rushed into the night sky about 40 meters and began to fall, dragging a long tail wing, reflecting the sky over there red.
Generally speaking, the meaning of signal flares of different colors and the meaning of how many flares are fired are agreed in advance. This kind of command method suitable for the operation of large corps has been adopted by our special service team of No. 2 warehouse.
But the question is, shouldn't I hit the flare? Who fired this flare?
Red, red!
I haven't reacted yet, that is, at the same time, in the same place, another red flare. The second one didn't fall, and the third red flare screamed and rose.
Three red flares rose one after another, and I felt that something was wrong, and I was covered in cold sweat. Could it be that someone is in danger? Anyway, I'll have to go over and take a look. Thinking about it, he picked up his equipment, felt the darkness, and ran in which direction.
It is very difficult to march in the desert during the day, let alone the black light. Walking one foot deep and one foot shallow. Listening to the squeak of the sand under my feet, my heart calmed down a lot.
People are like that, in an absolutely quiet environment, they will panic. A little bit of sound can make you quiet.
In the distance, a flashlight flickered from the direction where the flare was fired. I stepped up. When I got closer, I saw a dark shadow in the afterglow of the flashlight, and I didn't know what it was. I picked up my gun and pulled the safe. Turn off your own flashlight.
Slowly, I got closer and closer to the shadow, and I realized that there was a person standing in front of a pile of scrap iron, that person was Cai Bud, his thin figure, standing straight, the wolf tooth strong flashlight in his hand was still dangling up and down, beckoning other people, Sun Tianpao had carefully studied the pile of garbage.
"Sprouts, what is this, you found it?" I turned off the safety and put the gun behind my back, feeling much more relaxed.
"Night owl, this is a fucking crashed plane." Sun Tianpao said to me with a puzzled face.
