Since entering the rift space, Cao Mingzhe has been in a state of sometimes being sober and sometimes confused. But he has an incomprehensible sense of dependence on Xiao Guolin, and he obeys Xiao Guolin's words like a dog. Xiao Guolin's angry expression just now instantly ignited him, if it wasn't for Platoon Commander Zhao hugging him in time, I really don't know how to deal with the scene at that time. You can't kick him to death.

Xiao Guolin's appeasement quickly calmed Cao Mingzhe's violent state. I quietly walked back and said to Xiao Guolin: "Team Xiao, take care of him, and please don't get angry anymore, this guy can't stand the stimulation." ”

Xiao Guolin was obviously angry, but he didn't dare to vent it, and said angrily: "You are a crime!" How do you explain it when you go back!? ”

I smiled wryly and said, "Team Xiao, we have to go back first, don't we?" In this low temperature condition, we will all freeze for a few more hours, and what will we talk about going back. Xu Warrior has no lighting, how can he go back to deliver water, is there a difference between getting lost in the water pipeline network and sending him to death? If there is any other way, I don't want to be this sinner, if someone has to be this sinner, let me do it. ”

Platoon Commander Zhao had no psychological burden on my actions, and immediately expressed his support: "Delivering water and surviving is the first task, these pieces of wood will sustain us alive, Captain Xiao, I support Brother Qiang in this matter." ”

He saw the boat straight into a pile of wood. Xiao Guolin was still angry, but he had come to his senses. Silently looking at me and the plank in my hand, his face full of regret.

Xu Xinming looked at everyone blankly, not knowing what to say, so he chose to be silent. The dimmed flashlight moved from one person's face to another's face from time to time. In the end, it fell on the face of squad leader Liu, because there was a smile on his face, a shallow evil smile.

The flashlight froze on his face, which made him restrain himself, but the flashlight did not move away, and he said with a little annoyance: "Do I have flowers on my face?" Xiao Xu. ”

The flashlight moved away and shone on the ground between us, and the faint flashlight reflected back, and everyone's face was blurred.

Squad leader Liu continued: "There is no need to dispute this matter, and the valuable antiques will not be more valuable than us, maybe you have the idea of martyrdom for these things, but the vast majority of people here will not think so, let alone the wounded who are waiting for our news." As Platoon Commander Zhao said, this is a pile of wood. You're acting, aren't you? I don't believe you two can't see the crisis at hand. ”

Squad Leader Liu's words were like knives, and each knife cut blood. Xiao Guolin's face rose like pig's blood, but he couldn't refute it, the current situation is obvious, no one will die for this pile of wood. I don't think he would be so stupid, his performance just now must have been an instinctive reaction of an archaeologist. But squad leader Liu's words were too sharp and hurt Xiao Guolin's self-esteem.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Guolin compromised, handed the penlight to Xu Xinming, and said to him: "Put the lighting on the boat, and I will draw a sketch." ”

Next, Xiao Guolin didn't express his opinion very much. Squad Leader Liu's words hurt him too much, frankly speaking, in the entire project project, the head of the command headquarters will talk to him very politely, and the three captains of the archaeological team have great prestige in this project, and they are the ones who can talk directly to the No. 1 leader. Today, I was hit to the bottom by squad leader Liu's words.

Xiao Guolin did not express his opinion, and Cao Mingzhe was even more silent. This matter was discussed under the leadership of Platoon Leader Zhao, Team Leader Liu, and me.

The previous process is very unanimous. The only long-lasting lighting is Xiao Guolin's penlight, which was smashed into flakes by us as supplementary lighting, and the lighting problem should be solved, and the position of the support to the rescue cabin should be assured. In order to bring more water, his gun was left behind, and there should be no danger on the road. The issue now is one of my suggestions: if possible, let everyone come to the tank above.

My opinion is that rescue from outside is unlikely to come anytime soon, and this is recognized by everyone. And we don't have the ability to search this underground space and send out more water at the same time, and of course the lighting on the road is also a big problem, so we might as well let them concentrate near the cracks. In this way, not only will the process of transporting water be greatly shortened, but if possible, a group of people can be sent to search for other passages, especially the one leading to the Yadan landscape. I know that this is the most attractive to Platoon Commander Zhao. Sure enough, this proposal immediately made Platoon Commander Zhao excited.

As for the rescue pod, I suggested that we could leave our plan of action, and if the rescuers came earlier than we thought, they could also know where we were and find us accordingly.

The proposal quickly moved from whether it was feasible to how it would be implemented. We don't know anything about the situation on the other side of the rescue chamber, and if the most dangerous wounded survives, the plan will be much more feasible. The problem now is how to get them to bring the most supplies, and if the seriously injured need stretchers to be transferred, they will need to transfer the resources in the rescue pod in two or more times. To that end, we've put together a list of the most pressing resources.

The first is warmth. The temperature near the underground water source is too low, and we also try to save the battery of the flashlight, because this battery also needs to keep the walkie-talkie running. It is also urgent to make a few torches, and textiles are just as important as alcohol. The tools to break down the ship are also very important, we can only rely on brute force at the moment to destroy the most broken planks of this ship, the goofs and keel are very strong, and in order to get the most fuel, you must have tools. There are demolition axes and sapper shovels in the sealed cabin to deal with accidents, and one must be brought over.

Medical drugs and equipment, pick up the most urgent belts. Bring all the ropes, including the harness in the sealed cabin. If possible, disassemble a set of lighting, of course, with a battery, fixed lighting does not help us much, it is very important on it. Oxygen cylinders and breathing masks were also planned, as no one could be sure that we didn't need to get into the water.

We divided the materials into A, B, C, and D categories according to the urgency, and asked Xu Xinming to bring back as many as possible in order. After that, Platoon Commander Zhao began to write letters, leaving a message for the rescue that might come. He is currently the highest military commander here, and Xiao Guolin is not very involved in our discussions, so this work can only be done by him. Squad leader Liu and I prepared torches for Xu Xinming, there were no extra textiles, everyone contributed a little, I tore off a foot-long sleeping bag, and it was immediately exposed below the knee, and the cold air immediately wrapped around my legs.

I shuddered, and quietly continued to wrap the torches. Xu Xinming tied the kettle to his body on the side, and the kettle must be tied tightly to his body, so that he could not become a burden to rock climbing. However, after the decision to move the base camp, the amount of water carried was significantly reduced. He only brought two pots of water, which made it much less difficult for Xu Xinming to climb the rock.

Like sending martyrs, we watched Xu Xinming's faint penlight disappear on the way.
