Two kilometers ahead is a large mountain about a kilometer high, and the mountain stretches to enclose the foot of the mountain into a sheltered col. The mountain col is white, and there are big trees hanging with transparent ice everywhere, and the entire search and rescue team is in a white and transparent world of ice and snow.

Nearby, there was silence, with only the occasional mountain breeze dancing in the air with flakes of snow and mist.

Li Dong led five soldiers to walk hard in waist-deep snow. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain and searched carefully for a while, Li Dong suddenly pointed to the mountain wall dozens of meters high, turned around and shouted something to the company commander Wan and them.

Company Commander Wan waved his hand and ordered the soldiers around him to move closer to Li Dong at the foot of the mountain, while he used a telescope to observe the mountain wall as he walked, and found that there was a black cave in the place Li Dong pointed.

Company Commander Wan and they came to the foot of the mountain, at this time Li Dong had climbed to the mouth of the cave with 5 soldiers, Li Dong turned around and shouted below, "Company commander, there is a big cave here, it is dark inside, you come up and bring more torches, the entrance of the cave is a big platform, you all come up."

Company Commander Wan hurriedly asked the soldiers to cut down some dry pine branches from all around and tie them into many torches, and led the soldiers to climb up to the mouth of the cave. He came to the mouth of the cave, stretched out his head to look into the hole, and it was so dark that he could not see anything, and he took out a match and lit a torch.

After the torch made of dry pine branches is lit, it burns with pine oil in a blink of an eye. Company Commander Wan threw the torch towards the cave. The torch flew in the cave with a bright ball of fire for a while and then landed and rolled forward, and with the rolling firelight, you could vaguely see that there was a winding downward ramp inside the cave, and the black hole inside could not see how long the cave was.

Company Commander Wan turned sideways to Lu Mingjun, the deputy company commander, and said, "I'll take people in, and you will take a squad to guard at the entrance of the cave," and as he spoke, he took out a pistol from his waist and lit a torch to drill into the hole.

Lu Mingjun grabbed him and said, "You're outside, I'll go in," he said, snatched the torch and led people in.

At that time, the liberation had not been long ago, and the troops' communications equipment was very backward. Company Commander Wan only brought a radio station to communicate with the outside world, and he did not have individual communication equipment.

Company Commander Wan waited outside for a long time but didn't hear the voice inside, and was a little anxious in his heart, and said to the soldiers around him, "You continue to be vigilant." I'll go in and have a look," he said, drawing his pistol, lighting a torch and walking in.

Company Commander Wan walked along the cave and suddenly heard the sound of "ticking, ticking" water droplets, and there was a slight sound of running water in the distance. The further you go into the cave, the warmer it gets, and the outside of the cave is a cold and frozen winter, while inside the cave seems to have entered a warm spring.

As the winding cave deepened, a huge cave plaza suddenly appeared in front of it. On the top of the cave, milky white stalagmites hang straight down from the top of the cave twenty or thirty meters high; At the bottom of the cave, the stone pillars like spring shoots rise up again, leaving a ripple like a white wave on the spacious stone wall, and streams of water flow down from the stone wall, leaving a series of winding and tortuous traces at the bottom of the hard cave. The stalagmites and stone pillars full of caves are constantly flashing with pink reflections under the illumination of the torches of the Ten Thousand Company Commanders.

Lian Commander Wan looked at the strange scene in front of him in surprise, he didn't understand how these stalactite caves, which were common in the south, could suddenly appear in the icy and snowy northeast region. And Lu Mingjun and they have been in for so long, why did they suddenly have no sound?

Years of combat experience made Commander Wan instinctively feel some kind of danger, he gently pushed the bullet into the load, and slowly moved forward a few hundred meters in the hall, just now the wide cave suddenly narrowed, and at the end of the stalactite hall suddenly appeared a narrow passage that could only barely lead to Guò alone.

He lowered his head and just entered the passage, when a violent gunshot suddenly sounded from the originally silent passage, and an exclamation rang out with the gunshot. Then he heard the chaotic footsteps of running fast, and Company Commander Wan hurriedly pressed his body against the cave wall and raised his gun to the front. After a while, a dark shadow came quickly from the small hole, shooting guns behind him as he ran.

Company Commander Wan raised his pistol and aimed it at the black shadow in front of him, and shouted, "Which one?" "I, Lu Mingjun, retreat!"

Hearing the sound, Company Commander Wan quickly retreated, as soon as he exited the narrow passage, he reached out and grabbed Lu Mingjun's left hand who was retreating sideways, and wanted to pull him out quickly, when he heard Lu Mingjun suddenly scream, and his left hand pushed Company Commander Wan hard, pushing him to the side of the stone wall, followed by a violent explosion.

With the explosion, the narrow passage suddenly collapsed, sealing the passage firmly, and Company Commander Wan tugged Lu Mingjun's left hand hard at the end, but only pulled the watch on his wrist.

"Lao Lu", the commander of the Wan Company ran to the front of the passage and desperately carried the collapsed stones, regardless of the shaking cave and the falling stone pillars. The soldiers on guard outside also ran into the stone cave, desperately moving the stones to open the passage.

But the passage was sealed tightly by huge stones. The commander of the Wan Company, who had been moving for several hours, looked at the blood on the soldiers' hands, and then looked at the sealed passage, shook his head helplessly with tears, and ordered all the soldiers to evacuate the stone cave.

What happened in the stone cave, and why Lu Mingjun would rather die in the end than blow up and seal the passage, this has become an eternal mystery in the heart of Company Commander Wan.

On the way to evacuate, the commander of the company sent a report to the regiment about what had happened, and after the regiment asked the superiors for instructions, they were ordered to withdraw immediately. After returning, Company Commander Wan suddenly and inexplicably launched a high fever that night, and his body was suddenly covered with large and small blisters, and the high fever did not go away for a week.

The doctors of the division hospital tried all the methods to reduce the fever, but to no avail, and the hospital had no choice but to notify the regiment that they were critically ill. Unexpectedly, a week later, his high fever suddenly subsided again. The doctors were amazed at this strange case, and they always thought that he might be a body reaction caused by the loss of many comrades-in-arms and excessive grief.

Afterwards, the division ordered Company Commander Wan to take a company to the accident site to excavate, but at that time, the collapse of the cave caused by the explosion had completely sealed the passage, and it was impossible to dig without large mechanized tools, so he had no choice but to give up.

This matter has become an eternal mystery in Dean Wan's heart. For decades, in the dead of night, he often silently took out the only relic left by Lu Mingjun - this watch, thinking about the scene when Lu Mingjun pushed him out.

After listening to Dean Wan's memories, Wan Lin carefully looked at the watch on the desk, he slowly stretched out his hand to take the watch, Xiaohua who was squatting on the desk suddenly stretched out his right paw to stop his hand, his eyes looked at Wan Lin, and his head shook vigorously. It seems to warn Wan Lin not to touch the watch.
