The question stuck like a needle in my head, sending a chill through the depths of my soul. Even though there was a pile of burning flames in front of him, his body still shivered involuntarily.

I glanced at Xiao Guolin through Cao Mingzhe and found that he was not in a better state than me, and he was also frightened by Cao Mingzhe's words.

I immediately thought of the stone platform in the middle of the basin above, and the hexagonal groove on the stone platform.

That piece of iron. He's got that piece of iron!

My brain started to be chaotic again, and I couldn't concentrate on the problem. The image of the hexagonal metal appeared in various pictures with a very high frequency, until finally all the pictures became the hexagonal metal, and the sentence appeared in my mind: What is the purpose of that piece of iron?

I didn't think about how Song Guilong got this piece of iron, as long as he could get out alive, he could investigate it. What he was doing with that piece of iron was the most pressing question at the moment. Knowing this answer, we can not only look for Song Guilong purposefully and targetedly, but also make it clear what danger we have to face. Because I heard Cao Mingzhe: he was holding iron. After these words, I had a sense of crisis in my bones, as if a great danger was approaching me.

Through Xiao Guolin's expression, it also confirmed my hunch. As he said, he knows more than I do, what this iron does, or what dangers it poses. If I could, of course I would like to know these secrets from Xiao Guolin's mouth right away. Curiosity is not the main thing that torments me, and not knowing where danger will come is the most terrible. However, I couldn't ask these things in front of squad leader Liu and the health soldiers, and the secrecy regulations and in order to avoid the spread of panic did not allow me to ask Xiao Guolin for an explanation immediately.

Suddenly, Xiao Guolin's face looked hideous and terrifying in the flickering firelight, as if he had been hit by a magic barrier, his eyes flickered without a fixed focus, and he felt as if he was constantly changing the position of his gaze. But whether his neck and eyes were rolling, in short, his expression was extremely strange.

I didn't keep looking, I felt like I was the first to break down when I looked at him like this. Cao Mingzhe sat between me and Xiao Guolin, I looked at Xiao Guolin, and he looked at me. I withdrew my gaze from Xiao Guolin's face, and first met Cao Mingzhe's gaze.

Cao Mingzhe's eyes were still a little dull, but his expression in the face of me was very sincere, that is, full of trust and dependence. I was about to collapse when I looked at his face, it was the rhythm that was going to push me to a dead end.

I don't dare to ask Cao Mingzhe questions, if he remembers something, he will say it without any scruples, and he will not consider the secrecy regulations at all, which will kill others. From the fact that he said the iron without thinking, it was clear that he would say everything he knew. I pretended to be calm and patted Cao Mingzhe on the shoulder and said to him, "Old Cao, I will help you find Song Guilong." You don't have to be nervous. ”

Cao Mingzhe nodded solemnly, and the trust in his eyes became more obvious.

It was impossible not to attract the attention of squad leader Liu and the health soldiers, but they consciously did not ask questions, and even turned a blind eye. They are required to do so by the secrecy discipline they are subjected to.

Silence, lasting silence. It lasted until Platoon Commander Zhao returned. By this time, the health guards had returned to the crevasse. There are also wounded people on top who need his care, even the most serious one, too.

During this time, I took a suitable stick from the pyre and sharpened it into the shape of a torch. I really can't stand this weird silence, I have to find something to do, and I want to give Xiao Guolin a gesture to let him know that I am looking for Song Guilong with a resolute attitude.

There is one thing to explain here, that is, before Platoon Commander Zhao left, he had led the soldiers to completely dismantle the broken ship and carry it here. The demolition axes in the rescue cabin and the sapper shovels of the soldiers were very powerful, and the keel of the wooden boat, which was as thick as a thigh, were neatly cut off and placed neatly behind me. I didn't have very good tools, so I used a demolition axe and a military dagger to do the job. Four people watched from the side, and none of them came to help me. No one spoke during this process, and even when eating, there was silence. Platoon Commander Zhao was very tired when he came back, but his expression was very excited. He said to Xiao Guolin excitedly: "I made a rocking wheel on the crack. As he spoke, he swung his arms and made a wagging motion. It's much easier to send things down from above. There is no problem for squad leader Liu to go up. "It should have been good news, but he didn't realize something was going on when he looked at our faces. Hurriedly restrained his expression and asked Xiao Guolin: "What happened to Team Xiao?" "Two soldiers came down with Platoon Commander Zhao, both carrying large packages, but they didn't seem to be heavy. Xiao Guolin beckoned the soldiers to sit down before telling me my plan to hunt and kill aquatic creatures. Platoon Commander Zhao didn't express his position immediately, he seemed very hesitant, thinking about something. As soon as I looked at Platoon Commander Zhao's attitude, I knew that there was a chance to convince him, which I didn't expect, and I always thought that he should be the most difficult bone to gnaw. In the end, I have to rely on Xiao Guolin to pressure him, after Xiao Guolin made it clear that he did not support my plan, my heart has actually begun to waver, and I am already preparing to give up this plan. At present, Platoon Commander Zhao has obviously loosened here, and my heart is ready to move again, and I said to myself, seize this opportunity. First of all, I need to know what Platoon Commander Zhao is hesitating, and why he changed his original mind and became interested in this matter. My mind was spinning fast, and I thought the only possibility was that he was worried that we were going to have a flashlight. But if you think about it carefully, I still don't think it's right, he is now strong and strong, and the guards are back, so there is no need to look at our faces anymore. The only one who can influence him is Xiao Guolin. I glanced at the two fighters, one of whom was an acquaintance, Xu Xinming, and I smiled at him and asked the other soldier, "How is the situation over there?" Nothing happened. The fighter replied: "We are fine, and the wounded are stable." That is, food is scarce. "My eyes lit up, and I immediately understood Platoon Commander Zhao's thoughts, he wanted to hunt for military rations. I immediately said to him, "We don't have much food here, we can last a day at most." "I am exaggerating in this statement, but the food shortage is real. The compressed food in the sealed cabin can support us for five to ten days, depending on how active we are. If you wait for rescue in place, you can hold on for 10 days. However, in order to find water, our physical strength was overdrawn in the past two days, and we had to resist the cold temperature below, so we could only keep taking in calories, and the consumption of food exceeded expectations. Judging from Platoon Commander Zhao's expression and the information revealed by the soldier, the consumption of food over there was also excessive, so obtaining other food sources became another urgent matter.
