After being silent for a moment, Xiao Guolin didn't decide anything immediately, but walked towards Xiao Ting.

I feel that Xiao Ting is numbing herself by constantly doing things, and she can't accept and face Xiao Guolin's current appearance in a short time. After Xiao Guolin walked in front of Xiao Ting, this stubborn girl could no longer suppress the sorrow in her heart, and threw herself into Xiao Guolin's arms and cried silently.

The reunion of relatives is the most joyful scene in the world, but I don't feel joy at all. I know that while there is a hopeful retreat, there is an equally high probability that it will turn into a trap. There is little hope that we will make it out of here alive.

I kicked Ah San, who was still lying on the ground and pretending to be dead. "Get up, isn't it cold on the ground? I'm not afraid of freezing. ”

Ah San turned his head to look at Xiao Guolin who walked away, and then stood up with a sad face. "Brother Qiang, you have to resist it. We've worked so hard to get to the gate of eternal life to take a look, and if we don't quantify, we won't end well. ”

I know that what Ah San is most afraid of is to throw him alone to Xiao Guolin, Xiao Guolin is not afraid of death, he is afraid. Moreover, Xiao Guolin's meaning in and out of his words is that he doesn't plan to go up with us, whoever is with him will definitely be buried with him.

"I know." I patted the dust on his body and said, "Let's go up together, I won't leave you." ”

Ah San's moved eyes were full of water, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Qiang, I know that you are good to me, and I am your person." ”

When I saw his expression, I was in a state of flux. I'm really not used to facing a big man with tears in his eyes, even if it can make the protagonist's halo above my head brighter.

I immediately turned my face to Jack. "There are so many wounded that some of them have to be sent back."

"Where are you going?"

yes, back there. If Song Guilong is not credible, then the retreat he left for Xiao Guolin is likely to be a trap. Moreover, even if there is really a way out there, so many wounded people will not be able to go up at once. Someone needs to go up first. Pull the wounded up with a rope. It will take a lot of people to cooperate, and I'm afraid it will take all of us to work together to do it. A part of the people, and mainly the wounded, could not have done it.

"My advice is to find another group of people before deciding on the next move. The box is in the hands of the other group. We have to be on guard every step of the way, and we could be buried here alive at any time. Also, the Gate of Eternal Life, I must take a look, no matter the cost. Jack was quick to show his attitude.

"I agree." Ah San hurriedly expressed his position. I felt that as long as I didn't abandon his plan, he would be able to support it.

But the guy glanced at me and said, "Of course, Brother Qiang's decision is the final decision." I support it unconditionally. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Well, finding the gate of eternal life was our original plan. We are still following this plan. The search for another group of team members was just an episode caused by an accident.

But at present, whether we are looking for another group of team members or looking for the door to eternal life, we can't do without Xiao Guolin's support, he can at least find the fat man. Yes, I think he was sure that he found the fat man's group. ”

Xiao Guolin deliberately took Ah San to find the fat man, which means that he is sure to find the fat man, and I think he knows where the fat man is. He was more familiar with this place than he revealed.

Jack frowned and said, "I see Xiao Guolin's attitude. It doesn't seem to want to go with us. What is he concerned about? ”

I turned my head to look at the reunited father and daughter and sighed. Song Guilong's message, Ah San definitely heard it, he was pretending to be dead when he lay down, and he didn't fall into a coma for a second. But I didn't reveal Song Guilong's information to Jack, not out of secrecy. It was fear of scaring him.

There is also the fact that Song Guilong is too mysterious, too incredible, the last accident was caused by him, and I still don't understand all his behavior, and I can't explain it to Jack.

I turned my face to Jack. Nodding at him. "Whatever his concerns, I'm in charge of convincing him."

Jack said: "Okay, but you need to be aware of our current injury situation. ”

I frowned. Obviously, at least Jack had seen me as the captain of the expedition.

Jack operated on a soldier with a sternum injury and removed a broken rib, which is no longer life-threatening. However, it is difficult for him to move on his own, and even if he is given a crutch from the material of a stretcher, he needs the help of others to move.

The European's injuries were in the leg, the thigh bone was broken, and he was able to move barely on his own with the help of a cane, but it would be very slow. When encountering a big threat such as a large mosquito or an Homo erectus, these two people will definitely not be able to fight alone, and they are likely to die immediately.

They need time to recuperate, and we don't have time.

Ah Yong and squad leader Liu's injuries were not fatal, Ah Yong was better, one arm was broken, and his ability to fight was greatly reduced, but running away was not affected.

Squad leader Liu was miserable, his bones were not injured, but he was injured on the cartilage of his knees. Just now he ran hard again and strained his ligament, and he had no other way but to heal his injury slowly.

But time, what we lack is time.

I became agitated, muttering to myself as I walked towards the soldier who had just undergone surgery.

At this time, all the one-eyed flashlights used for surgical lighting were extinguished, but the glow sticks could not be extinguished, and they were scattered all over the metal room. It's not very bright, but it's so large that the whole metal room is illuminated without dead ends, and for the first time I have time to see the whole room.

It is a non-obvious rectangular room, with little difference in length and width. I visually measured the depth of the room, from the metal door to the wall, at least ten meters, and the width was smaller, about nine meters. The height is not exaggerated, slightly higher than the passage outside, a little more than three meters.

At first glance, the room is all metallic, including the long table in the middle, which is also metallic. The fighter after the operation was still lying on the long table.

I walked around the long table, not only at the wounded lying on it, but also at the long table. The table legs and metal floor appear to be cast-molded, with no seams, and certainly impossible to push.

"It's a workbench." Jack's voice came from behind me.

I nodded silently. Yes, I'm standing in front of it, the table is not waist-high, and if there is a chair, the sitting height is just right for work. But I didn't see any chairs in the room, not even any of them. Maybe it was put away by the ancestors of Lop Nur.

I turned to Jack and said, "Well, this should be a maintenance workshop." It is used to allow the personnel who maintain the metal passage to rest and work. ”

"It's possible, but if that's the case, we'll have to go back the way we came, or continue along the metal passage to get out of here. This room is a dead end. ”

Jack's words left me depressed and silent. (To be continued.) )
