Chapter 3 Expanding Contradictions

And the train station I've seen before, the one in front of me is obviously more than one big. Several railways are lined up in parallel, and large machines for platforms and unloading can be seen everywhere. The miner's lamp shone upwards, and I could see a very high dome, and it seemed that before I knew it, we were already inside the building.

"Shall we search this place first?" Chen Zaihai proposed. "I feel like there's going to be a lot of good stuff here."

It's a tempting proposition, and it's a big platform after all. It's hard to imagine how busy it was back when there were still people here. Trains carrying a large number of supplies arrived, and countless workers loaded and unloaded here, wondering if the things in those strange carriages would also be brought here. Eventually, the people on the platform watched the train leave.

It occurred to me that this might be one of the most viable ways to get out of this underground. Unloaded trains can't stay underground forever, they always have to go back to the surface and reload. We just have to follow one of the railroad tracks, there are so many rails here, it is impossible to kill each of them.

And even if one doesn't work, we can go back here and try another one, but it's just time-consuming. Eventually, we will be able to get out, but we still have a mission ahead of us, and we have lost all supplies. Even if you know that this will be successful, you don't have the ability to execute it. Neither food nor water will be enough for us to support us for that long, and every track will not be so easy to complete.

If we're unlucky enough to make the wrong choice, we're likely going to spend nearly a month in it. Even if we find Talia, their situation will not change much, and we can only continue to look for possible Ivan and them.

And we are still very concerned about the condition of the task force, and our luck is actually okay, and we can always find clues left by the task force along the way. Although we dare not hope that any of them will survive, as long as there is a chance of survival, even if it is less than one percent, we will do our best to search for them.

We never had any reason to abandon our teammates, and at that time we were very selfless, and we deeply believed that anyone who wanted to build socialism together was the best comrade-in-arms who could not be missing, and that we should help them and save them no matter what difficulties we encountered. I don't want to be like this in the current society, and those who do good deeds are the children of young college students, and they are also the ones who are blackmailed by the rescuers.

As far as we are concerned, even if they are Soviets, even if the relations between the Soviet Union and China have not been very good recently, it does not affect our determination with them. The reason is simple, it has nothing to do with the grievances between the countries, we all like Talia very much, and we respect Ivan very much, and the members of the task force are subordinates of the two of them, and this reason alone is enough for us to go to the soup to save them.

The so-called social romanticism is like this, Talia is my life-and-death friend with Chen Zaihai, and we have already seen her crying face more than once. Truth be told, the two of us were willing to do anything to keep her from crying again, the task force was her acquaintance, and every time we saw her grieve over their loss, we felt deep remorse, thinking that we were being too discouraged.

Romanticism tells us that a man who can't stop even a woman's tears is definitely a useless man in the world. So we're not going to give up hope, that shortwave radio station is definitely a task force thing, and they've fallen into that canyon too. Maybe it might come here in the end, and we'll keep looking for it, although we know we're a little bit struggling to protect ourselves, and it's best to get out as soon as possible, but no one else has taken the initiative to bring it up, and even if it does, no one else will correspond.

Our minds are very sensible, but our hearts will never allow us to do so. The two of them and I climbed over platform by platform to see if there were any remaining supply crates on the platform. Of course, we don't expect food or anything like that, it's been decades, and even canned food is definitely not something that people can eat.

But in addition to food, we may be able to find something more useful, such as lighting, gasoline, or small generators. Especially small generators, this thing is definitely the most useful lifesaver in distress, with electricity we can do a lot of things.

When we first encountered that python, we had three small diesel-burning generators in our team, and it was because of them that we saved many seriously injured and dying engineers.

We were a little disappointed that there was not a single box that looked like a box left on such a huge platform. This is also a little different from the buildings left behind by the Japanese that we have seen before, and there is no trace of a hasty retreat at all. This place is like a regular train loading station, except that it is a little old and rusty.

"Why is this place so clean like the devil entering the village?" After sparing a circle, Chen Zaihai said with some confusion. "Those grandsons aren't going to do this badly, are they?"

I said don't talk nonsense, this place is made by the Japanese, what is the devil entering the village? When they enter a village they have built and rob themselves, do they have diesel fuel in their brains? Chen Zaihai also laughed when he heard it, saying that after looking for so long a day, he almost forgot that this was a man-made place made by Japan, and he always felt that he missed the platform he had seen in Beijing before, and he forgot that he was still underground.

"It's really a little strange that there is nothing here, which shows that the Japanese left here very calmly." I analyzed.

"Don't you think it feels a lot like that lighthouse?" No matter what I say, Chen Zaihai has been stubborn enough to think that the black signal tower is a lighthouse at all. In the end, I didn't bother to correct him, so I had to go with him.

I asked what was the similarity, just two things, right?

"I'm not that conscious. Don't you think it's as clean as the second floor of the lighthouse? He shook his head, casually gesturing to the various devices around him.

I suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a detail, the second floor of the signal tower was indeed very clean, although there was still a lot of dust, but the degree of mildew ** was not very bad, in this sense it was very clean. Is that what Chen Zaihai means?

I immediately shone a miner's lamp on a steam locomotive next to me, which resembled a combination of a water platform and a water feeder, and the dust on it was very thick, but the rust was not as bad as I thought, and the reddish-brown rust spots were scattered all over the equipment.

It was a bit unusual, and it was a shame that he could find out.

I remember Talia saying that the signal tower was because it would irradiate something like ultraviolet light into the living area on the second floor from time to time to disinfect it, and the second floor would be that tangled, is there a similar device here? But there's another problem, it's going to be so clean here, which means that the device is still working. Chen Zaihai also said that maybe this is what it looks like.

So where does its electricity come from? After all this time, is this building still connected to electricity? I don't see any kind of red light from the emergency lights around here.

"That's not right! Something is still wrong. "I suddenly found a huge loophole in this proposition." Talia said that the device emits ultraviolet rays and stuff, right? ”

Chen Zaihai was a little confused, so he nodded.

"Have you ever heard that ultraviolet rays rust? If that's the case, why do you need to spray paint and stainless steel? I asked.

He was also a little stunned when I said this, and after a while, he slapped his head and said yes! Metal rust has nothing to do with bacteria and mold. It's understandable that this place isn't moldy, but it's okay that it's not rusty!

At this time, the engineer who had not spoken also said that all the machinery and equipment in this place were like this, just like the railroad track we were walking along just now, and the degree of abandonment was very strange. I immediately asked him with some excitement why he didn't say it earlier, and he was very aggrieved and said that he didn't get the order and didn't dare to talk casually.

"What an elm head." I was speechless. "Good! Then we'll give you an order now! No matter what you find in the future, report it to us as soon as possible! Do you hear me? ”

"Yes!" The kid also reflexively stood in a military posture and took a standard military salute with him. I don't know what to say about him, it's exactly the same as that stupid boy from Nie Chuanhui!

"It makes sense to think about it, the railroad tracks are like this. If this place is dilapidated to the point of collapse, it will be even more bizarre. Chen Zaihai touched his chin and said.

We're not going to be scared of this kind of thing anymore, it's just that the atmosphere has become more eerie. Along the way, we lacked everything, just no strange things. If Talia were here, we wouldn't have to panic again.

"It's just one more thing I can't figure out. I think if Talia is here at this point, we'll get back to what we're doing. "I moved Talia out again, and I found it to be a tried-and-true method." Since the station of the truck, there must be something similar to a warehouse in the vicinity. Let's solve the problem of usable materials and rest there. ”

The question of the level of scrap was ignored for the time being, and we forced ourselves up again to look for the warehouse that we didn't know where.
