It's the third day of our meeting with Ivan, and it's half past six in the evening. I, Chen Zaihai and Talia were sitting together for dinner. And Ivan hasn't spoken to us since the last time, and is always alone without knowing what he's up to.

Compared to our previous rations, it was a blessing to be able to eat dehydrated vegetables and canned food. I was so happy that I almost forgot what we planned to do after that.

If this were Chen Zaihai's usual proposal, Talia would definitely not agree, let alone her, even I would definitely shake my head. But now the situation is different, Ivan's attitude makes us very uncomfortable, he abandons his old subordinates so suddenly, which makes us very insecure.

This must have something to do with the KGB's orders, and we all believe that Ivan must have something unspeakable. But believing is believing, and people still unconsciously think about the worst. If we were to be in the same situation as the task force one day, would Ivan do the same to us?

So when Chen suggested that we should sneak in and search for the task force ourselves, Talia and I nodded around the same time. In fact, we have more or less this kind of thought in our hearts, but we just don't want Chen Zaihai to be so afraid to say it.

The plan is actually very simple, when the people in the camp are almost asleep, it is good to walk out openly and honestly by virtue of the power of Talia as the deputy leader. There are traces of the task force in the three-dimensional warehouse, and they must still be in some corner of this ship.

To live to see people, to die to see corpses. Our demands weren't very high, and even Talia was slowly starting to accept the total destruction of the task force. But Ivan's attitude of turning a blind eye is absolutely not something we will agree with, and it is a matter of principle that we will not be saved in the face of death, and we have nothing to do with the KGB on the table.

If Ivan is unable to act because of the KGB, we will do these things in his place. Looking back now, this idea was still very naïve at that time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was the heroism or comic feelings in our hearts. We forcibly turn something that has nothing to do with us into our own responsibility, which is called arrogance. Obviously long past the age of youth and frivolity, we will still behave like this, which is enough to show how uneasy Ivan was changed at that time.

Especially Talia, her father-daughter relationship with Ivan can be said to be extremely stiff. Now when she talks about her father, the look and mouthparts in her eyes are almost like talking about someone she doesn't know at all. Of course, this is not the result that Chen Zaihai and I want to see, but unfortunately this is a family matter, and there is no room for us two outsiders to intervene.

We can only hope that one or two survivors of the task force will be found in the end, and the relationship between father and daughter will be eased. Alec is dead, Ivan's wife died a few years ago, and the two of them can be regarded as each other's only relatives in this world.

I have a deep understanding of how much Talia is emotional, and if they are like this all the time in the future, the most painful one will definitely be Talia.

And I always had a vague sense that Ivan didn't let us go looking for the task force for some reason other than the KGB, and he gave us this order with a very complicated look in his eyes and a lot of feelings, as if he had known that no matter how much he tried to find the task force, it would be useless. I was very concerned about this, but when I saw that the two of them looked completely unnoticed, I began to wonder if I was too careful. After thinking about it, I still didn't put this idea out.

In addition to Chen Zaihai and Talia, there were many other people around, including several colleagues from the Meteorological Bureau and a squad of engineers. A group of us all sat around a big campfire, warming ourselves by eating a batter-like meal made of compressed dry food.

As I said before, the temperature inside this ship is a bit unusual, keeping it below 10 degrees at all times. Chen Zaihai and I were fine, wearing Japanese military coats that we found. The clothes they wore weren't very thick, and they couldn't help but shiver at this temperature.

The engineer who had been with us before was also sitting next to us, and he himself said that he had woken up in the middle of the night last night. When they came together, they saw Talia standing beside him, and the kid didn't react at once and thought he had hit a ghost, so he shouted vigorously and summoned all the people in the tent next to him. A group of people with guns and guns were in their hands, and the report almost got Ivan over.

Fortunately, Talia explained the situation to him in time and calmed down the kid, otherwise something really would have happened. By the way, Chen Zaihai and I were still sleeping in tents far away at the time, and we didn't know what was going on.

Now that the little soldier was gobbling up a pot of batter, and occasionally Talia offered him a little canned beef that was like an officer, the kid looked like he was going to be upset now.

"Sure enough, the chiefs are good people! I'm so old that no one has ever treated me like this except for my father and class leader at home! The little warrior looked like he was going to cry with excitement as he tried to express his gratitude to Talia and eat canned beef.

"If the chiefs don't dislike it, I will always follow you in the future, and I will repay this kindness as a cow and a horse!" He looked at us and said.

"Don't, don't, what kindness do we have to you. If it weren't for you, Lao Su and I would have died several times. We have to thank you and we have to thank you. When the task is over, we will definitely go back to report you for a first-class merit, and be an official! Chen Zaihai waved his hand again and again.

"Don't listen to this guy's nonsense, he promised a person this last time, but he almost killed someone, and now people don't know where they are. But it's true that we want to be thankful. "I immediately remembered that Chen Zaihai seemed to have said something similar to Nie Chuanhui, and then we bumped into those dying lice women.

This little soldier is also a dead brain, and he insists that he should save us, and he can't say anything if he dies for this. But we don't need to be so nice to him at all. Looking at this guy, I will think of Nie Chuanhui before, these little soldiers are really exactly the same, all of them are so simple that they are about to shine.

"In short, the chief's kindness is to be repaid, and a man's kindness will be repaid, which is what our squad leader has been telling us." This time, he said it without refusal. "If it weren't for the chiefs, I would have died a long time ago, whatever it was? As long as I can do it, say it! ”

We look at him like this. It's hard to continue refusing it. This writer also has its own values, and we haven't been able to change them along the way, and it's useless to say anything now. At this time, Chen Zaihai suddenly stopped the tableware in his hand, and held his chin alone, his eyes dripping around. I knew as soon as I saw that he had come up with some kind of idea.

I saw this guy mysteriously pulling the little soldier to whisper something in his ear, and then walked back as if nothing had happened, and continued to eat. They didn't even look different from before, which immediately aroused my curiosity, what did this guy say?

After dinner, we disbanded on the spot, and Talia and I got the two men out at the right time. Ready to ask what was going on, Wang Weiguo glanced at us suspiciously. As soon as Chen Zaihai demonstratively scolded him, he left with a disgusted face. I realized that they waited for a moment, and then quietly followed, and to be honest, it might be a big trouble for him to see at this time, and I had to go and see if this guy would report to Ivan.

Wang Weiguo didn't notice me all the way, I don't know what he suffered before, the whole person looked very weak, after eating straight back to his tent, I waited outside for half an hour and didn't see any movement inside, it seems that he really rested.

This guy's physical strength is not even as good as mine, and when he has been absent from the meteorological bureau's environmental measurements in the past few days, I am even more suspicious of Ivan's intention to bring him down. Lin Yiru and the big man from our Meteorological Bureau did not appear, what would be the use of taking a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs like us? If we really find that underground sea in the future, we won't be able to study anything decent for a lifetime.

At this time, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have been here for a little too long, and when I looked down at my watch, more than an hour had passed, and Chen Zaihai and they should have been tired of waiting for a long time. Don't worry about these messy things anymore, and Wang Weiguo won't make any small reports. I immediately turned around and ran to Chen Zaihai's side.

When I went back, I saw Chen Zaihai and Talia with impatient faces, and the little warrior was gone. I immediately asked what the hell was going on.

"No big deal. Aren't we going out to find the task force at night? You always need someone to make a report, right? Otherwise, how do we know when it's best to sneak out? "Chen Zaihai didn't ask me why Lang took so long, and patiently explained it to me." Just in time for this kid's vigil, our luck is not bad. ”

There's nothing superfluous about Talia, it seems that she already knew.

"Okay, now that it's decided. Let's go back to our respective homes and find our own mothers. Just take a good rest in the tent and wait for the signal. Chen Zaihai concluded. It's not too early, and it's going to be a problem for others to see the three of us still together. ”
