The news that Talia brought made it even worse for us to lose contact with the task force, and I even felt the urge to run away

I am not a person who cannot endure hardship. On the contrary, I have suffered a lot since I was a child, and there were almost no people in our time who could not endure hardships, and I don't want to retreat when I am young now.

If our group of people could not endure the arduous tasks sent down from above, there would not have been the Daqing Oilfield and the current two-bomb and one-satellite plan.

We are staunch materialists and will not be fooled by any strange forces, as we should have been before we came here.

But everything that happened here was beyond our knowledge, and the camp was hit by a landmine again, but this time the sufferer was not a person, it was a whole truckload of supplies from us!

Not only are there a lot of large, professional equipment, but more importantly, there is food and fresh water that we have left for a few days or even weeks!

Fortunately, it seems to be a forest somewhere in the north, and there are streams and dark rivers everywhere, and the water source is not difficult to find.

The biggest problem was food, the camp plus the hundreds of us could not be fed by hunting or the like, and the compressed dry rations we carried with us were only enough to last us for a week.

The blow was desperate. It's like a person who is motivated to become a pilot, for the sake of the goal, but the weight can be lost, and the technique can be practiced, but if you suddenly tell him that you will be blind in a short time, then the blow is irreversible. Only a handful of people can recover from such a blow.

There was a popular saying among us at the time: "Everything that can be overcome with hard work and resilience cannot be called difficult." ”

There are always some things in the world that are irreversible by manpower, and the range of activities that have been lost to us has become very narrow, and the detection of strange magnetic field sources has become almost impossible. Everyone decided that it was time to give up on this mission

If we can join the task force, we have a glimmer of hope to continue the mission, and the disappearance of the task force is justified to put an end to the mission.

In the afternoon, however, orders were received from the regimental commander to stand by and continue the search for the task force until new supplies arrived.

It's tantamount to giving us a slap in the back of the head. In our opinion, this is more ruthless than directly telling us to die, the ancient army can still slaughter military horses to satisfy hunger, what should we do? Dismantling the car? What is our stomach made of to digest tires?

"Waiting for supplies? Isn't that crazy? As if he had forgotten that he had been avoiding Taria, Chan shouted loudly to Taria.

"I don't know what China is like, but from what you told me when we were classmates, soldiers can't disobey orders, right?" Talia replied.

That's right, although we are basic technicians, we are still soldiers on record, and the order from above is clear, stand by in place, and we have no right to refuse.

As a staunch builder of socialism, our dignity does not allow us to commit such acts of desertion.

"I don't know exactly where this is, but this kind of deep mountain forest can't be delivered in a day or two, even from the nearest military base or village, right? What should we do when we run out of dry food? Waiting to starve to death, or waiting to be a snack for the beasts of the mountains? Chen Zaihai, who obviously studied abroad, didn't pay attention to dignity.

"Supplies will arrive in two weeks." Talia said lightly.

"Two weeks? You're kidding! ”

Talia ignored Chen Zaihai and walked towards Ivan. Looking at her back, I wondered what was going on with her easy-to-use attitude just now.

As for Ivan, he also returned to this abandoned camp of the Japanese army not long ago, having led a search team. At first, even this veteran soldier like the Russian brown bear was taken aback when he heard the news brought by Taria, but after Talia said something to him, Ivan immediately regained his usual composure.

This made me more and more curious. What does Talia know?

Sitting on the moldy Japanese army marching bed, Chen Zaihai and I smoked cigarettes one by one, and said nothing to each other. I really don't know what to talk to him about in this situation, and I look at the way Talia looks, as if she is not worried about supplies at all.

I'd really like to run over and ask for clarity right now, but Talia has been busy since then, and I don't have the time to talk to her. It dragged on, and it got dark.

Wang Weiguo almost fainted when he heard the order, and his appearance at that time was actually very funny, but whether it was me, Chen Zaihai, or his colleagues in other places, the geological team, and the engineering corps, they all lost the mood to joke.

The whole team was immersed in an atmosphere of despair, and there was no superfluous communication between us other than the daily search and exploration. The engineering soldiers clutched their guns tightly, as if that would reassure them.

But the atmosphere of despair didn't exist for long, there was still a lot we could do, and we couldn't really wait for death.

Over the course of a week, the almost completely abandoned Japanese camp had been renovated by us, removing the rusty barbed wire, and the engineers had strengthened the buildings left behind by the Japanese and cleared the surrounding weeds.

The walls are covered with all kinds of air-dried meat, which are our harvest in the past few days. Because we didn't know how many days we would have to wait, we relied on hunting to store the amount we needed for nearly a month.

We seem to be thinking too seriously about food, but the animals in the north are still very active this season, and every hunt is successful, and before we know it, a fire called hope is ignited among us.

Ivan and Talia had been in charge of the task force's search, but had apparently given up and were merely mechanically carrying out orders.

Several times I've seen Talia smirk as we all get together and do a good job. This guy is really hiding something.

And so it went on for another week, I don't know exactly what day it was, but it seemed to be morning, and I was groggy and asleep on my musty marching bed, when suddenly I heard the loud roar of the engine over my head, and the sound was unforgettable

Supplies were delivered within three weeks, as Talia said, but we never dreamed it would be this way
