It rained again, but this time it was drizzling like a thread. Maybe that's the calm before the storm, I thought. I have nothing to say in the face of the bereaved Ivan and Talia, and any words of comfort seem so pale here.

"Ivan had always wanted to reconcile with Alec, and he even decided to talk to Alec after joining up with the task force...... But why did ...... Talia look so weak in the drizzle, her rain-soaked hair clinging to her cheeks, I couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain flowing on her face, twitching shoulders, clenched hands, so pitiful.

"That'...... Does Chen Zaihai know? The incident ...... "powerless to consol, and I don't even know why I asked that."

"I don't know, looking at his performance today, I don't know. Alec's necklace, only Ivan and I recognize......" Talia replied.

After that I returned to the tent, leaving Talia and Ivan, I did not persuade them to go back, did nothing, and I knew very well that at the moment I could not do anything.

Even if I say that I understand their feelings and comfort them, it will only seem to them to be a pity for them. With the personalities of Ivan and Talia, this only makes them more miserable.

Lying back on the bed with a groggy head, I really hope that everything today is a dream, there is no corpse, Lin Yiru, necklace.

Don't tell him that Alec was his best friend when he was alive and there is no need for him to suffer this pain as well. Talia said this to me before leaving.

Isn't it a kind of happiness for him not to tell Chen Zaihai? Our goal was to find the source of the strange magnetic field that caused the anomaly in the cloud map, but to this day, we haven't even touched the side of this. But so many people died...... Is it really worth it? Is it really worth the sacrifice that we get from what we do?

Is it really worth it for the little nails, the task force communication group, the fighters of the two squads of the geological guards, and now with the addition of Ivan's son Alec? For the first time in my life, I had doubts about the tasks assigned to me......

Unforgivable, we must find out the source of all this! I can't let these people die inexplicably, they don't even have a name, and I secretly made up my mind while lying in bed.

The scene of my self-conscious determination is still vivid in my mind, a sense of responsibility, a consolation for the souls of those who have passed away, an emotion that is rarely seen today. By now, in the face of such sacrifices, the mission would have been canceled or suspended long ago.

It was useless to think too much, so I endured the pain in my body and turned over and fell asleep.

As a result, I never saw Lin Yiru again after that night, and Ivan and Talia quickly recovered from the pain of losing Alec. In the past three days, in addition to trying my best to recover from my injuries, I have been gagging with Chen Zaihai, which has been very boring for three days, but it has also been the most comfortable three days in the past few days.

Everyone in the residency is in a busy state of work, doing their own thing, no nonsense, and an orderly appearance.

I've been trying to reason about the whole thing for the past three days.

First of all, we can be sure that the place we have been in the past few months is near the Sino-Soviet border in Northeast China, and the meteorological cloud map of this area shows a strange phenomenon of "sunny in the rain", which is the reason why we are here.

Secondly, according to the investigation of the Soviet side, the cause of this phenomenon is an unidentified magnetic field, the location of which is uncertain.

There is no doubt that all missions come with danger. It's just that the dangers associated with this mission make me feel disproportionate to the results it might achieve. We were attacked twice by "landing mines", the first time it failed to slash at the Japanese underground arsenal, killing small nails, and the second time it directly split our supplies into a ball of burning fire. Whether it attacked the task force we don't know, but most likely did. We can't simply treat it as a natural phenomenon, it's too purposeful.

Then the task force went missing, the communications group was attacked, and Alec was swallowed by a python, and there was no way to deduce what the task force had encountered.

But it is certain that this area is inseparable from the Japanese, from the arsenal we first discovered, to the abandoned Japanese camp that was used by the task force, all of which show that the people themselves have done something unspeakable on this land. I even had the idea that the people who attacked the communication group might have been the remnants of the Japanese who had not had time to retreat. It's not impossible, there will always be some troops who encounter the remnants of the Japanese soldiers in the field, all like the savages, who don't know that World War II is over, and just blindly attack anyone who tries to get close to the place they are responsible for.

The crux of the matter is all about the task force, they must know more than we do, and they may even be at the source of that strange magnetic field right now.

The task force must be trying to tell us something, and that's probably why the Communications Group was attacked.

Maybe the task force wants to inform us that they've made a discovery, or if they encounter something that needs to be moved, maybe because of the python, or maybe for something else. And there is no one or any force that does not want us to converge, and as a result, the distribution group is completely destroyed.

Instead of finding the ethereal magnetic field, it is better to find the missing task force

And now the clues around us that are related to the task force are......

"You...... I want to spy on the snake again...... Where to die? Lao Su, are you alright? Haven't been caught by the snake yet... Scared? Not afraid of touching another one? I don't have hands. Ray tossed. Chen Zaihai swallowed the marching rations in his hand in one gulp and looked at me with the eyes of a madman.

"Less nonsense, do you go or don't go? Since the snake had encountered the task force, there must be some clue that we should find the task force! Besides, the regimental commander's supplies have not yet arrived, and we still have time. Holding down Chen Zaihai's hand and picking up the marching dry food, I said seriously.

"Isn't there a radio wave from the task force? If you can't just look for it, do you need us to meddle here? Chen Zaihai disagreed.

"If you talk about radio waves, it's already off. We haven't picked it up since this morning. Talia's voice cut in suddenly.

I looked at her in amazement, her usual Soviet-style marching uniform, her hair tied up, and she looked very lean and capable, and she couldn't see the grief of last night.

"What? Can't get it? What do Ivan's old boy's communications soldiers eat? Chen Zaihai shouted exaggeratedly, and the march dry food in his hand fell to the ground.

Talia glared at Chen Jae-hae fiercely, she seemed to have been trying to correct Chen Jae-hae's disrespectful name to Ivan, but judging by the results, she didn't succeed, at least for now.

"It would be right to extrapolate our direction from the last radio wave we received yesterday. If the contingent is far away from us, the slightest angular deviation in our direction will cause us to miss the contingent. Talia said.

"Then it's all the more necessary to go and see the snake, that's the only clue at the moment." I struck while the iron was hot.

"Ivan thinks the same thing, we should investigate that snake again." Talia chimed in.

"Okay, okay, I can't tell you, just go see the damn snake again. Can I eat properly now! Chen Zaihai said wildly.

Hearing this, I proudly let go of my grip on it, and finally avenged this kid for disturbing my dinner yesterday. Talia on the side said to go and ask Ivan for instructions, and left.

Moving my hands and feet, I looked at Talia, who was moving away.

"She's such a strong woman......" I sighed unconsciously.

"Of course she is very strong, it is clear that Alec is dead, and she hides her grief so deeply, she and Ivan are not simple people......" I looked back at Chen Zaihai in surprise. He just smoked and talked to himself, seemingly completely unconcerned if I heard him say anything.

This guy's expression, to be honest, I don't want to see it.

"I said you kid, there's one thing I've always cared about, you and " After listening to Talia's memories that night, I always felt that Chen Zaihai must know something.

"Old Su, I know what you want to ask, and I don't know anything about them. Something happened to me and Talia, and after graduation I went back home without a word. Now all I can tell you is that Talia and I were college classmates, Alec was my best friend, and I am saddened by his sacrifice. I can't show more to Talia than that," Chen said gloomily.

Sure enough, what happened in the Soviet Union, I recalled the scene when I was accosted by Talia for the first time, when Talia was obviously very interested in Chen Zaihai's existence, and now I think about it, it was completely concerned about this kid who said goodbye.

After that, Chen Zaihai left on the grounds of team convening and material preparation, this guy is still like this, and a lie is full of loopholes, what will Ivan let you do with this kind of thing?

Looking at her back as she faded away, I didn't catch up.

With what I know about this guy, she must be chasing Talia at this time, and although I don't know what happened between you, it's right for you to talk to Talia again.

Talia's current state is not suitable for this mission, she is strong, but not as strong as Ivan. She is very open-minded, but not as open-minded as Chen Zaihai, no matter what, she is a woman after all.

I can understand that I have lost all my loved ones, Talia's pain is not so simple to heal, everything depends on you Chen Zaihai.

I lit a cigarette, and now that Talia isn't here, it's a good opportunity.
