Chapter 014: The Pit of the Black Heart
The communications soldier looked dazed, and was holding the intercom to test, when he heard the company commander's question, he hurriedly replied: "Report to the company commander, I don't know, suddenly it rang twice, and now there is no movement in the test." ”
Behind me, I happily said, "That's a good thing, maybe if you go any further, you can restore the signal, and then you can contact Yamashita!" Maybe the satellite positioning and navigation can be used again. ”
Zhao Jinfu had a gloomy face and whispered to me: "I don't think it's necessarily a good thing, the movement just now shows that it was emitted under the influence of radio waves or magnetic fields, but it disappeared immediately, which shows that the signal source is very unstable." In my opinion, I'm afraid we're close to the core of the magnetic field. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Jinfu paused, hesitated for a moment and said: "Or in another situation, we encountered another magnetic field that will change direction by itself!" ”
"Will you change direction?" I know the principle of the magnetic field, and said to Lao Zhao: "The electrons that form the magnetic field move in a directional direction, how can there be such a situation as you say?" It's not scientific at all. ”
Zhao Jinfu obviously thought that I didn't understand what he said, and he explained to me: "What you said is middle school physics knowledge, everyone knows it." I'm talking about the effect of a magnetic field that has already formed, and it is possible that it is moving freely and irregularly. ”
I was puzzled by what he had been saying in the past two days, often subverting my common sense and the theoretical knowledge he had learned.
I said helplessly: "You're here again, why don't you think this is a movie?" I'm a materialist, don't always preach your fallacies to me. ”
But Zhao Jinfu still said to me very seriously: "Materialism? Since we've been here, what has happened normally? I'm not going to discuss this topic with you, just keep going and you'll find out. With that, he went away first, and the warriors followed him.
I think back to what he just said, and I'm right! Ever since I came here, I have always been confused and confused. I couldn't help but scold those travelers again, they were really full and had nothing to do, and they caused us trouble for no reason. Grumbling inwardly, I followed the last warrior and moved on.
In the dark primeval forest, people lose the concept of time, sometimes looking at the time on the electronic watch, if I don't tell whether it is AM or PM, I don't know whether it is morning or afternoon, morning or night, I always feel that I am always active at night.
And this hint of darkness made my tiredness even worse, and I guess if I were asked to find a comfortable position to sit down now, I would definitely fall asleep immediately.
After walking for more than an hour, Zhao Jinfu stopped abruptly again. This time, his voice was extremely loud and sudden, and many soldiers did not stand still and crashed into the bodies of their comrades in front. I didn't react either, and I almost fell after hitting the fighter in front of me.
I knew that something was wrong again, so I hurriedly ran to the front from the last position, and just arrived at Zhao Jinfu's side and was about to speak, but was blocked by his suddenly outstretched arm in front of his chest.
Standing and looking forward, I was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.
I saw a huge deep ditch appear in front of my eyes, and Zhao Jinfu's feet stood on the edge of the deep ditch, as long as he rubbed a little further, he could fall into the ditch. If he hadn't stretched out his arm to block me, I'm afraid I would have fallen.
It's too dark here, and there are so many layers of big trees to cover it, if it weren't for Lao Zhao's quick reaction, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
I hurriedly asked everyone to retreat, everyone was so crowded together, who had to push Lao Zhao down with a little force. Lao Zhao is really good, just standing on the edge and leaning back against the soldiers behind him to block the way for them, I secretly sweated for him. This guy is still reliable in an emergency!
Let the soldiers rest in place at the back, and Zhao Jinfu and I squatted on the edge of this big ditch that suddenly appeared. He shone a flashlight into the ditch, it didn't seem to be very deep, and he could vaguely see the bottom of the ditch, but he couldn't see what was underneath.
I shone into the distance, but I didn't see the other side, and although my tactical flashlight shone far, it was still engulfed in darkness, and I didn't know how wide the ditch was.
At this time, Zhao Jin fell down, leaned his shoulders out of the ditch, shone down with a flashlight, and suddenly said to me, "You come and see here." ”
I followed his example and leaned down, poking my head out and looking down. Lao Zhao's flashlight was shining on the ditch wall, and the beam moved along the ditch wall for a certain distance.
I was surprised and said, "Such a big ditch is actually formed naturally, and there is no trace of man-made." Could it have been that there has ever been a subsidence here? ”
Lao Zhao didn't speak, he carefully observed the ditch wall again, and then said to me: "It shouldn't be a subsidence." Did you find any? There is not a single tree in this ditch. ”
I also discovered this problem at this time, this primeval forest is so dense that the trees seem to have been cut off before reaching this ditch, and the ditch is dark and I don't know what it is. But one thing is for sure, there are no trees.
I thought of something, quickly looked at the time on my wrist and looked up at the sky, looking confused.
Zhao Jinfu looked at my solemn face and asked me urgently, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I checked it again before I said to Zhao Jinfu: "My watch shows that it is now three o'clock in the afternoon, and there are no trees in this pit, but why is it still so dark today?" ”
As soon as I said this, Zhao Jinfu immediately woke up, his face also changed a little, and we both subconsciously raised the flashlight in our hands and shone it to the sky.
Of course, we can't see anything but darkness.
If we were in the forest because the dense trees blocked us from seeing the light outside, we had accepted this by default, but now the sky is still as black as ink, which is very unreasonable.
I began to wonder if the darkness above our heads was not caused by the branches and leaves of the trees, but from the depths of this primeval forest, the sky was already black?
This idea is somewhat contrary to the laws of nature, and I can't accept it, so I told Zhao Jinfu my thoughts.
"You're thinking too much." Zhao Jinfu said: "I don't think it's dark, but it's covered by clouds in this area. ”
"Clouds?" I looked up again, and I couldn't see any clouds in the sky.
Zhao Jinfu said: "The appearance of this deep ditch itself is very strange, and I told you about the strange magnetic field effect, so I guess that the effect of the magnetic field also affects the clouds in the sky, causing it to be blocked by thick clouds, blocking the sunlight from entering." ”
I followed his words and said, "You mean, there's a good chance that the source of that magnetic field is nearby?" ”
Zhao Jinfu nodded and said: "I'm not sure, but the possibility is very high, the magnetic field power is stronger than we imagined, I'm afraid the entire black heart is under its shroud." And this deep ditch appears so abnormal, I guess it shouldn't be far from the answer. ”
For me, a person who bases everything on scientific theories, Zhao Jinfu's words sound like a fantasy novel to me. But all the strange things were in front of me, and I couldn't explain them with scientific theories, so I couldn't help but fall into a short period of contemplation.
Zhao Jinfu saw that I was a little bit of a bull at this time, so he interrupted my train of thought and said to me: "You can't think of an answer if you think so, let's study how to deal with the problem in front of us." ”
We looked to the left and right, and we couldn't see the end of the deep ditch in the darkness, and the ground in front of us seemed to have been cut out of thin air.
We didn't understand what was going on, and we didn't dare to rush forward, and if we went any further, we would have to go down into the ditch, but we both thought that the ditch was too abnormal, and if we didn't figure it out, we might have an accident.
Zhao Jinfu said to me: "You stay here to rest for a while, and I will take two soldiers to search along the edge of the ditch to the left to see if I can find the end and take everyone around." ”
"No! I'll go with you! I rejected him and said, "This ditch is very wrong, we can discuss any problems when we go together." Besides, my theoretical basis may be able to explain this phenomenon, and you can't see the reason for it if you estimate the education level of a big old man and a rough elementary school. ”
Although listening to me was sarcastic, Zhao Jinfu knew that I was not at ease. He didn't say anything else, and arranged for the soldiers to continue to rest, eat and drink some water, but they were not allowed to walk around. Then I found two soldiers who were in good physical condition to follow us to explore the road, but when we were about to leave, Zhao Jinfu turned around and called the communication soldier as well.
I can probably guess his intentions with the communications soldier, probably to see if the communication equipment will react again. So the five of us walked slowly along the edge of the ditch to the left.
The road is not easy to walk, and you should pay attention to the situation on the side of the ditch, the progress is not very fast. It's about five or six hundred meters away, but there's still no end in sight.
After walking more than 100 meters, I suddenly had a strange feeling, as if Zhao Jinfu also felt it, he called several of us over and said, "Okay, no need to go." This time I finally figured out that this was not a ditch at all, but a pit, a big, big round pit! ”
"That's right!" I echoed him, "I said that after walking for a long time, I felt that something was wrong, because we had been walking in an arc. ”
The soldiers who followed us didn't speak, and Zhao Jinfu said: "That's it, if you go down any further, you can only walk around the pit and go back to the same place, we don't know how big the pit is, there is no need to waste that strength." Let's go back, go back and discuss what to do! ”
We started walking back, and the communication equipment didn't make any noise in the process.
When we got back to where we were, the warriors had finished eating, and they all stood up at once when they saw us returning.
I waved my hand and said, "The situation ahead is not clear, we need to study it again, you can continue to rest." Then the warriors sat down again.
Zhao Jinfu and I found a place to sit down, I took out the half-chewed compressed biscuit from my backpack, handed Zhao Jinfu a new pack, and asked him, "What do you think?" As he spoke, he shoved the remaining half of the biscuit into his mouth.
Zhao Jinfu took the biscuit I gave him and didn't open it, he thought for a while and said: "Now I can only see the mountains and open the road, and build a bridge when I encounter water, I will go down to see the situation in a while, and if there is no problem, I will give you a signal, and you will come down again." Judging from the observation just now, this pit may be even bigger than we imagined, and it is too troublesome to take a detour, so we simply cross it directly. ”
I swallowed the food in my mouth with great effort and said, "You can't go, you are the company commander, the team needs you to take it, and if you want to go, I will go." ”
