CHAPTER XII

"How? I'll just say the supplies will arrive in three weeks, right? ”

I don't know when Talia appeared next to us, and when I saw that she was only wearing a dark green marching vest, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, I immediately blushed and didn't know where to look, which was a little too exciting for me at that time, and more importantly, I seemed to find that she was not wearing underwear.

Chen Zaihai obviously didn't notice what I was worried about, staring straight at the plane in the sky.

As I said earlier, it was 1964, the year of the outbreak of the Vietnam War, and the clouds of war hung over South China. Countless U.S. planes and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft continue to incur and conduct harassment and reconnaissance operations.

It was not until November 1968, when the United States was forced to stop bombing North Vietnam, that calm gradually returned to the skies over southwest China.

Sending the air force to the north in this situation seemed to us to be incredible, and the roar of engines in the sky lasted for 5 minutes, although I don't know what the air force of China was at that time, but from what we saw, it was definitely not a small amount! It is impossible for such a quantity to be approved by the "big guys" in the central government themselves.

"Our actions seem to be clear above, we can actually invite the Air Force at this time, it seems that this mission is not simple!" Chen Zaihai on the side said with a cloudy expression.

Chen Zaihai is right, in such an extraordinary period, the fact that we can not hesitate to use the air force only shows that the Chinese side and the Soviet Union attach great importance to this mission. This makes me even more suspicious of Ivan's purpose for coming here.

The thunderstorm that had been going on for days had somehow stopped today, and afterwards I heard Talia say that if the rain continued, it would not be possible to transport it by air. There is still a lot of luck in the success of this time.

The airdropped parachute was clearly divided into two parts, a small part fell on our part, and the rest should have been all supplies for the camp of the engineering troops.

I suddenly remembered that not long ago, Talia and Ivan had instructed the engineers to build a lot of things similar to the ancient beacons, and they had been busy observing the weather in this place with the equipment at hand, and they didn't pay much attention to it, but now I remembered that it was actually used for aircraft navigation.

Of course, we technicians are not needed for the recovery of materials, and it has been three weeks, no matter what meteorological observations can be made, through our preliminary observations, there is no meteorological peculiarity, and the climate state of the mixed subarctic coniferous broad-leaved forest is normal, except for unreasonable thunderstorms......

Listening to Talia say that the camp was almost in a state of readiness, and another landing mine proved that Wang Weiguo's lightning protection measures were useless, everyone in the camp was in danger, if it weren't for the soldier's unique spirit of not admitting defeat and not afraid of death, I'm afraid it would have been empty a long time ago. This seems to be a unique quality of the Chinese people at that time, and it can be said that most of the previous War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea relied on this quality to force MacArthur to sign the armistice.

Originally, I wanted to talk to Chen Zaihai, but when I came back to my senses, I didn't know where to run, Talia was gone, and Ivan led people to search for the task force as usual. Although I really wanted to see his expression when he knew that the lightning protection measures he had set up were ineffective, I couldn't do it if I took the initiative to find Wang Weiguo lying in the marching tent.

In desperation, I grabbed a piece of air-dried meat, and I had to wander aimlessly by myself. This makeshift camp has become lively again because of the arrival of supplies, and the engineers are just busy like tireless worker ants, interlacing like mountains, and I don't know what they are doing.

As I walked, I was thinking about what had happened for a while, the strange cloud map, the sudden departure after the meeting, the engineering camp, the first landing of mines, the intervention of the Soviet side, the rendezvous with the task force, the disappearance of the task force, the second landing of mines, air supplies, the whole thing seemed to be a huge whirlpool, I really thought it was in the eye of the whirlpool, and I didn't even reach the edge of the whirlpool at this time......

Every time I think about it, I feel a great sense of powerlessness rushing towards me, like a flat boat in a storm, like a small dead leaf in a storm. In retrospect, my fate was decided even when we decided to get in the truck, and the rest was just to follow the script that was written.

Suddenly, a gravel field appeared in front of me, neither big nor small, and the end could be seen at a glance. In the center of the gravel floor was a half-kneeling person, a woman to be exact. She'd been hammering a rock-looking one with something like a small hammer.

It's the woman from the geological team again, the woman who appeared behind me inexplicably before.

"Watch your back." That's what she said to me back then. It always felt like it meant something to tell me to be careful......

She seemed to notice me as well and walked slowly towards me. I had never seen this woman so close before, her black hair was shoulder-length, and her skin was not at all like the perennial tarnished in the geological team due to the wind and sun, what I cared about the most was her eyes, which were so deep that they did not look like things in the world, which always gave me the illusion that she had seen through everything earlier.

"You know what? This is a special type of stone, which we call 'volcanic rock' in geology, which refers to the rock formed by the cooling and solidification of magma emitted by volcanoes. As you can see, it doesn't look like a volcano at all, and there must have been some changes here, otherwise there wouldn't have been this kind of stone. She looked straight at me.

"You mean there used to be a volcano here?" I replied unconsciously.

"Or maybe someone moved it here." She said, gesturing to the stone in her hand.

"But," I wanted to say.

"Remember that this is far from the end, not even the beginning of the end, at most the end of the beginning." She left this sentence faintly and walked quietly in the direction of the temporary camp.

"Wait! You name it! The name is," I asked, turning back in the direction she had left. I don't know why, but at that time, an impulse came to my heart, and I wanted to know the name of this inexplicable woman.

"Lin Yiru."

A faint fragrance wafted over, and by the time I reacted, Lin Yiru had already left. I finally remembered where I had met Lin Yiru in the first place.

During the first camp accident, on the way to check the accident scene with Chen Zaihai, I once bumped into her on the territory of the geological team, and Chen Zaihai made a joke at that time.

This encounter, which is not even a one-sided relationship, was of course forgotten by me. After all, we found a whole bunch of amazing stuff after that.
