I didn't understand it, so I asked casually, "Traction signal?" What do you mean? ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Jinfu also asked rhetorically, and then said: "It means that the magnetic field that blocks our signal equipment is not an irregular magnetic field, but a directional magnetic field, and there is only one direction it points to, that is, that side." He said as he raised his hand to the dark forest he had been staring at.

I hadn't heard of a "directional magnetic field," so I asked him, "What is your theory?" How do you know for sure? ”

Zhao Jinfu looked at me and said to me seriously: "Since I entered this black forest, I have always felt a little awkward, but I can't say what makes me awkward. It's just that something around me doesn't quite feel right! But as soon as there was a problem with the compass, I had such a guess! ”

I "cut" and said to him: "It's not just you, I've also felt uncomfortable since I entered this Black Forest, and this eerie energy is as cold as going to a cemetery, and there is no place for people to be happy!" ”

Zhao Jinfu shook his head and said: "I'm not talking about this, I'm saying that what we can see makes me feel that something is wrong, but I just can't find what makes me feel wrong, can you understand?" It's something out of the void that releases some kind of power that unconsciously attracts us to a place. ”

"What's that?" I wondered what he said, "What about you talk about fasting?" What could be here? What else could there be but a tree being a tree, or dirt on the ground? ”

"Nonsense!" Zhao Jinfu felt that he couldn't discuss it with me, and said a little impatiently: "I don't know this yet?" I knew it would be useless to ask you. ”

It seems that Zhao Jinfu is not in a good mood because of the inexplicable failure of many devices and the feeling that disturbs him, and I can't help him.

In order to ease his mood, I looked at the huge and thick trees around me, and suddenly had a strange idea, so I said to Zhao Jinfu: "The trees here are so thick, I don't know how many years they have grown, it is estimated that if we cut one to count the rings, it is estimated that we may not be able to count it in a week." ”

"Tree rings?" Zhao Jinfu suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he began to look around, as if he was looking for something.

It didn't look like a joke, and I didn't dare to disturb his sudden nervousness, but just stared at him curiously to see what he wanted to do.

"You're a talent!" Zhao Jinfu suddenly smiled and praised me.

I listened so awkwardly, bared my teeth and scolded him: "Are you making fun of me again?" Don't tell me you really want to cut down a tree and let me go with you and count the rings! ”

Zhao Jinfu didn't pay any attention to my sarcasm, he pointed around and said to me, "Look, are there anything special about these trees?" ”

I squinted my eyes and glanced around, and said disapprerovingly, "I haven't seen anything else since I came here, what else are you letting me see?" ”

"Twigs!" Zhao Jinfu said to me a little excitedly: "As soon as you reminded me, I found that the branches of these trees are half dense and the other half are scarce. I thought something was wrong, it turned out to be this! ”

I was puzzled and asked, "So what?" ”

Zhao Jinfu replied to me: "There is no sunlight here all year round, so naturally there is no such thing as photosynthesis, but these branches are dense on one side and sparse on the other, and the dense side is all in one direction." This means that they are growing in a directional direction when there is no sunlight. ”

I looked at the branches and leaves of those tall trees, and it seemed that they were really like what Zhao Jinfu said, but I still didn't understand what he wanted to say.

Zhao Jinfu saw that I was still so unenlightened at this time, so he said to me with a tone of criticism and education: "You cultural soldier is really stupid to read, can't you see such an obvious thing?" That's what I just mentioned, the directional magnetic field, like a malfunctioning compass pointer, that aligns with the direction in which the trees grow. It shows that under the action of fixed traction, all the directions of action are directed to a fixed place. That is, somewhere in this black forest, there is a huge magnet that is drawing us towards it. ”

Zhao Jinfu said this is a bit mysterious, I looked at the trunks and branches around me, and vaguely felt as if it was really like what he said, we were indeed moving in an attractive direction.

This situation was beyond the scope of my knowledge, so I hurriedly asked Zhao Jinfu, "Where did you know what kind of directional magnetic field you have?" Why have I never heard of it? ”

Zhao Jinfu replied: "There is no such thing in this book, I gave this definition." I don't know what kind of force this is, but it can cause communication, positioning, and compass to fail at the same time, and it can also affect the growth of these trees, and the sense of direction is so directive, what can it be called a magnetic field if it is not called a directional magnetic field? ”

I was speechless at his explanation and wanted to refute him, but I didn't know what to refute.

Zhao Jinfu stared in that direction and was silent for a while before he said to me, "Eat, let's go see what is in front of us when we are full." My instinct told me that the tour was coming to the thing in front. We're almost getting to the truth! ”

I am skeptical, I analyze things by theory, while Lao Zhao analyzes things by experience. Although I admire him very much in my heart, I can't help but sometimes feel that his words are nonsense.

It's a pity that one of my five-spice cans was originally intended to be half of Zhao Jinfu, but who knew that this guy didn't leave me at all, and he was all impatiently stuffed into his own mouth. And he sat there with his eyes wandering, and at first glance, he was not idle thinking about things in his mind, and it was estimated that he didn't even taste what the five-spice canned food tasted when he ate it!

I nibbled on the compressed biscuit and drank white water, and when I took a bite, I glanced at Zhao Jinfu with resentment.

Suddenly I thought of something, and hurriedly said to him: "That's right, Lao Zhao!" If there is a directional magnetic field as you say, wouldn't the other two teams be drawn to the same destination as us? Maybe all three of us are heading in the same direction now! ”

The expression on Zhao Jinfu's face froze, and he was stunned for a moment before blurting out: "It's true, I didn't expect this!" ”

He stood up as soon as he "soared", walked a few steps back and forth, and suddenly turned back to me and said, "Hurry up!" If we are really all drawn to one place, then we must get there before the other two teams. ”

I knew that he was worried about the two teams of fighters and the old money, so I immediately stood up, stuffed the half-eaten compressed biscuits into my backpack, took a sip of water, and said to the other fighters: "Assemble, ready to go!" ”

Most of the soldiers had only eaten half of it, but they didn't ask why, and when they heard the order, they immediately packed up their belongings as fast as they could like an electric shock, and then lined up to stand by.

This time, Zhao Jinfu did not set off directly, he looked at these soldiers under him with a solemn expression, and said to them: "Comrades! This time we are dealing with a somewhat complicated situation, and we are now facing a mysterious unknown force. I don't know what it is, the preliminary estimate is a peculiar magnetic field, and the power of this magnetic field is the culprit that affects all our electronic devices and guiding devices. To put it bluntly, we are being dragged by it in an unknown direction. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, presumably to give the fighters a buffer to accept reality.

Sure enough, he waited for more than ten seconds before continuing: "The other two teams are likely to be in the same situation as us. And what I want to say is that in order to avoid danger to our comrades, we must reach the core of the mysterious magnetic field before they do. So I ask that we have to go all the way for the rest of the journey, and we won't stop to rest in the middle, can you accept it? ”

"No problem!" The warriors replied in unison.

Our warriors are so cute and have absolute trust and support for you at all times. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, as long as you say a word, they will rush forward without hesitation.

I was a little moved, stepped forward and said, "Comrades! You are all the best warriors, and I know that no obstacle can stop you, and the usual hard training is the same in this primeval forest today. For the sake of our comrades-in-arms, for the innocent people who are looking forward to our rescue, comrades! Let's go! ”

At my command, the morale of the soldiers was high, and they marched forward in formation.

Zhao Jinfu patted me on the shoulder approvingly, and ran forward with the team.

Now that I have a clear goal, I don't need to use a compass to find my way from time to time. Based on the foliage of the trees in the forest, you can know where to go.

Don't look at it as running forward, in fact, it's not much faster than before, the road is not good, you can't go fast if you want to, but after all, it's still speeding up.

During the journey, I asked Zhao Jinfu in front of me: "Lao Zhao, why do you say that so many tourists have not found this anomaly before?" It is said that such an obvious magnetic field effect cannot be detected all the time! ”

Zhao Jinfu thought for a while and replied to me: "In the past, tourists relied on guides, and the road under their feet, as long as they followed the guide along the road, they would not go wrong, and they did not dare to go wrong." We're different, we're specifically avoiding the right path, and we're a little too reliant on guiding equipment, that's why we're doing that. ”

As soon as I thought that was indeed the case, I said no more.

After a full two hours of trotting, everyone was already sweating. No one complained of suffering, no one complained of tiredness, and the quality and physique of the soldiers reached a full manifestation at such a moment.

But I was a little irritable, why I couldn't say, I was upset, and I couldn't concentrate. I attributed it to the fact that I might be too tired from physical exertion, so I didn't care, and continued to run with the team under the pressure of restlessness.

Suddenly, there were two "swish" sounds, which were particularly clear and piercing in the silent forest.

"Stop!" Zhao Jinfu reacted immediately and stopped the team.

Although the two noises just now were not loud, we all heard them, and they were the sound of electricity coming from the walkie-talkie.

"After being silent for so long, at this time the apparition apparition?" I said to Zhao Jinfu.

Zhao Jinfu ignored me and walked towards the communication soldier. As I passed by, I saw his brow furrowed slightly, so I followed him.

"What's going on?" Zhao Jinfu asked the communications soldier.
