The matter was settled temporarily, and we forced ourselves to ignore the unnaturalness of the railroad tracks in front of us. The things to deal with are piled up like a mountain, and we are now unqualified to be troubled.

"Isn't it the same as I said at the beginning, just follow this track." Chen Zaihai said as he walked.

I can't say that.,There's always no harm in totaling it before you do anything.,The provenance of this place is weird.,If there's no preparation.,If you get hit, we'll have to go around without eating.。

He immediately retorted, "The question is, have you analyzed something?" There was nothing, and another deadly bomb was found. It's okay that I don't know what's going on with this track, but now I feel uncomfortable looking at this thing!

That's it, don't complain. I don't want to do that. When he said this, I suddenly felt a little unbearable on my face, after all, the chaos just now was caused by me.

It's reassuring to know that we've been walking for a while now, and the tracks haven't changed on the outside. It's worth mentioning that only the length of this thing, the twists and turns, and the various arcs and turns, are just completely disoriented. If the track suddenly breaks halfway through, we'll have to wait for death.

As I walked, I prayed like Marx that there would be no such unfolding. I don't know how long I walked all the way, but the scenery around me didn't change at all, and the gray ground full of gravel was a little flat. It stands to reason that this is an abyss that doesn't know how many meters underground, is it possible that the terrain is so undulating? It's okay to fit a few mountains in this breadth, right?

If geological changes had created this place, there must have been a lot of mountain-like things that were squeezed out by tectonic plate movements. Or did Lin Yiru not talk to me deeply enough before, and I ignored something? For a long time, our communication with the geological team was very limited, and when we were on the ground, we usually didn't meet each other except for group meetings.

I just took the opportunity to ask her a lot of questions, mostly in the weeks we were waiting for supplies to arrive. Chen Zaihai followed the engineers to the woods to hunt every day, and I had no one to talk to except him. I didn't know Talia very well at the time, and she seemed busy. The rest of the people in the Meteorological Bureau were respectful of me, and I didn't even have any intention of taking the initiative to build a relationship with them.

With nothing to do, I had to wander around our makeshift camp every day. It was during this period that I discovered Lin Yiru, and she also appeared on the route I walked at every turn. Actually, it wasn't the first time we had contact with Volcanic Rock, but I had forgotten to ask her name until then.

At first, I thought she was also unsociable, just a person who came out to wander around, so I casually walked over and talked to her. The first time I was far away, I didn't see who was in front of me, and by the time I saw that this master was the woman hiding behind me and scaring me, it was almost late.

"Is Su Zhenpeng from the Meteorological Bureau?" I don't know why Lin Yiru recognized me at that time.

I was a little stupid and had to nod stiffly, to be honest, my thoughts at the time were just to run away, this woman is definitely not a simple person. The weirdness she gave me was even higher than that of Talia.

"It's just in time, I actually have a lot to say to you." At that time, Lin Yiru looked at me lightly. "It seems that you are also very idle now, you are all people who are not good at interpersonal relationships, can you walk with me?"

At that time, I realized that I had missed the best opportunity to escape, and my intuition told me that it was better not to resist this woman. I had no choice but to accept this inexplicable invitation with great reluctance.

In the end, I didn't ask him why he knew my name, I just blindly let her take me around the camp. She says whatever she sees, mixed with a lot of geological knowledge. It wasn't until we each went back to our tents that I realized that she had been teaching me geology all along.

I wondered why she was teaching me this. We only had a few faces, and she shouldn't have any reason to do it.

"You'd better come here every day from now on, I'll keep waiting. Of course, this is not forced, everything is up to you. She said this to me next to a characteristic conifer tree near the camp.

A woman full of mysteries and very strange, that's how I saw Lin Yiru at the time. This verbal agreement was actually unbinding, and I didn't go to the appointment for the first few days, thinking that more is better than less. And eighty percent of the other party will give up soon. I forgot about it completely.

However, a few days later, when I accidentally passed by that place again, I found that Lin Yiru was really standing there. Has she been waiting for me? For several days in a row? That's a little scary, isn't it? That's where I piqued her interest.

I hid in a group all day and secretly observed Lin Yiru, maybe she just happened to come out to relax, how could she be waiting for me, a guy who wouldn't go to the appointment. That's what I thought at the time, she would be back soon. But the truth still slapped me in the mouth, and Lin Yiru really stood under the tree without moving for a whole afternoon.

It's either waiting for me or hell. There was no impatience or disappointment on her face, and it seemed to us that waiting for me here was like a task that had to be done. She didn't complain about the task and just performed it mechanically until I showed up.

The next day, at the same time and in the same place, she reappeared. This time the guilt overcame everything, and I walked out of the bushes where I had been hiding, and if a woman kept waiting like this, something would happen. And she saw that my expression barely fluctuated, as if my presence was a matter of course. This further increased my suspicions, what kind of medicine is this woman selling in her gourd?

Just like the first day, she and I wandered aimlessly in the woods, all the while she kept instilling me knowledge of geology. To be honest, she explained very well, and her proficiency was almost like that of a professor at a well-known university. I still went to college, so I knew that this effect would only happen after repeating the same lessons and the same words countless times. She is not at the same level as the teacher who taught me meteorology in the first place, it is really much better.

There are also questions to answer where I don't understand, and every time it is just a few words that make me pause. At first, I just listened to the idea of accompanying her casually, but I didn't expect that after that, I was addicted, this woman's words have such magic, obviously with a blank face.

Those weeks were amazing, and we literally kept having this kind of secret contact. Even if they met in the camp, they wouldn't take the initiative to say hello, only under the tree she said I listened. She didn't answer any questions about geology, such as why she knew my name and affiliation, and why she taught me geology.

"When the time comes, you'll understand." That's what she said to me at the time.

This piqued my curiosity even more, and I didn't know where to fly with the idea of staying away from her. It is likely that it was at that time that I gradually became attracted to the woman Lin Yiru, and maybe I couldn't say.

If I hadn't been in contact for that period of time, I probably wouldn't have been so desperate to save her when I encountered a python. Cause and effect in the world are sometimes so wonderful.

Now, when I was walking along the railroad tracks with Chen Zaihai and them, I realized the meaning of Lin Yiru's words at that time. I do understand a little bit now

Lin Yiru didn't teach me all the knowledge of geology thoroughly, it was too much, and they couldn't explain what they taught in four years of college in just a few weeks. It was clear to me that she was imparting this knowledge in a biased manner. Some things she just brushed aside, and some of them were really detailed.

At first, I didn't know why she did it, but then what I went through with Chen Zaihai and Talia gave me a very clear answer. At that time, Lin Yiru had been telling me about the corresponding knowledge of the geological phenomena that may occur underground in this area!

No wonder I didn't care what strange geological formations I encountered, and my eyes didn't go dark with surprise. No wonder I was able to analyze some geological phenomena that neither Chen Zaihai nor Talia necessarily understood! All of this, in those weeks, Lin Yiru was ready for me! She seemed to know what we were going to encounter in the future, and she told me all the knowledge she might have used beforehand! The origin of volcanic rocks, geological formations, the distribution of underground caves, types, and possible causes, etc., she spent a lot of time explaining these things to me at the time, and it turned out that this was her purpose.

But what was her reason for teaching me that? I still don't understand at all, and I was told this to improve our survival rate. But if she really didn't want us to be in danger, wouldn't it be better if she just stopped us from investigating that python in the first place?

Obviously, Lin Yiru knew in advance what was probably going on beneath the area we were investigating. How did she know this, I still can't figure it out, she used to be here? Or was the information given to her above? Then a question arises, how does the upper echelons know about the situation here? The only plausible explanation is the results of some instrumental detection.

However, at that time, the domestic geological imaging technology was still very incomplete, and without the help of Soviet equipment, we should not be able to see such a deep underground. With the advent of Ivan and the other images, and the satellite images we haven't seen for a long time, there are so many things involved in this matter.

Lin Yiru, our upper echelons, and the Soviet Union, all of this is really becoming more and more complicated
