Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Man Is Missing

Because of the crampness of the sealed cabin, it is difficult to stretch out the body, and it is easy to climb and grasp the back of the chair, and the body can be easily fixed. Xiao Guolin and I put our heads in front of the porthole and turned on the penlight.

A flashlight shot straight out, and there was no end to the darkness. My heart shook.

The flashlight shook his hand a few times, and it could be seen that Xiao Guolin was also nervous. The flashlight shone sideways, revealing a mottled brick wall. I breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, as if there was something to put me at ease. In fact, in hindsight, I am relieved because I didn't see something terrible, but this is only temporary, and what you want to see will eventually appear in front of you, and this kind of fatalistic thing is nowhere to hide and inevitable.

In front of me is a very large wall made of blue bricks, the shape and size of the bricks are a bit like city wall bricks, several times larger than the current building bricks, and the width is larger than the length of modern building bricks. This wall is made of flat bricks with wide facing outward pressure joints, so you can imagine how thick this wall is. The flashlight shines along the brick wall, and the brightness of the flashlight gradually dims, and it cannot reach the top. The flashlight shone down the darkness on the top and hit the brick wall on the other side. The brick walls on both sides are so close together that I don't think it's even as large as the diameter of the rescue pod.

Slowly shining down from this side of the brick wall, I noticed a little confusion, the brick wall has several obvious dividing lines from top to bottom. Then the flashlight shines on the ground. The ground in the distance is not clear, and the ground in the near distance is almost in front of you, and the visual distance is no more than two meters, so you can see it clearly.

There were many debris on the ground, broken pieces of iron, broken wood, scraps of wooden furniture, stones, sand. These were supposed to fall along with the rescue pod. The ground is not covered with debris, it is a smooth bluestone floor. Smooth but uneven, there are obvious traces of water erosion on the bluestone ground.

When Xiao Guolin and I saw this, we almost said in unison: "Drainage canal!?" ”

It's going to be a lifeless discovery. No matter how deep we are buried in the ground, no matter how long this drain has been left unused, there is hope at both ends of the drain that leads to a way to life. The main thing is that there may be air.

We did not have time to feel at this almost miraculous project of the ancients, and after carefully examining the visible environment, we decided that it was up to me to take the risk.

We don't have answers to the question of how deep we are currently underground, how many years this drain has existed, and whether there are toxic gases. Any unconventional move is risky and can be fatal. Again, we don't have time to wait, no matter what happens to the other sealed cabins, but there are so many reserves of oxygen, no one can survive to the rescue, and someone has to take the risk.

I took a deep breath of oxygen, which was probably the last breath I had, and I tried to relax and enjoy it. Then remove the respirator mask.

The air was dry, with a pungent smell of quicklime, and the air entering the lung cavity felt refreshing and irritating, as if the lung cavity had been brushed by a brush. I muttered and cursed, "It's not like a sewer, how can it smell like a morgue." ”

As soon as Xiao Guolin heard this, he grabbed the breathing mask and buckled it on my face. I grabbed his hand and said, "I can't die, it's just too bad to smell and irritate the alveoli." ”

Xiao Guolin immediately took out a thick mask from the survival kit and put it on for me. I didn't say no. In fact, our eyes have been exposed to the air all the time, and we don't react too badly, so I don't think there will be too much irritating gas here. My concern is whether there is oxygen or not, and whether the oxygen level will sustain me. Now that I know that the air quality can sustain me, I have to carry out my plan.

I'm willing to take the risk of experimenting with the air quality here, and in addition to having some certainty in my heart, I also have a thought. It was before anyone left the sealed cabin that he went to the sealed cabin opposite, and from Cao Mingzhe's mouth, he asked what Company Commander Li said about the five minutes when the other sealed cabins were closed and the phone was closed. The communication system between the sealed cabins can disconnect other sealed cabins, and people in the same cabin cannot hide the call information.

I immediately said to Xiao Guolin: "Team Xiao, I'll go to another sealed cabin to have a look." He'll leave it to your care. I gestured to the lying warrior.

"Be careful, I'll leave it to me." Xiao Guolin didn't see my careful thoughts, and said apologetically. He wasn't physically fit enough to do too strenuous exercise.

I nodded, and my hands kept grasping the sealed hatch above my head. I quickly turned my handwheel, put my hands on the hatch and lowered it, and with a probe, my hands and shoulders above came out of the sealed cabin.

It was pitch black in the transition module, and it was clear that the lighting in the transition module was broken. But as I looked at the hatch across my head, my heart sank, and I felt darker than the transition cabin.

The opposite hatch opened inward, there was a light inside, and the small space was unobstructed, and there was one less person inside, and the one who was missing was Song Guilong. I thought about any possibility, and even prepared for the worst, but it was more than I expected. The flashlight was in my hand, and I shone on both sides of the transition module, the doors at both ends open, revealing the space of black holes. I couldn't believe my eyes anymore, and I had to make a judgment that I couldn't believe: Song Guilong left alone. I didn't rush into the sealed cabin opposite, but desperately shouted at the black hole drain: "Song Guilong, where are you, why are you doing this!" "At this moment, I began to believe in the true sense of the word, and began to think about Company Commander Li's judgment. His questioning of Song Guilong before the accident was not groundless. The sound traveled far away in the empty drainage canal, and there was a clear echo, but unfortunately it was not Song Guilong's echo. I have no reason to wait any longer, the opposite cabin, now above, there are still two people who need my help, and I can't determine the direction in which Song Guilong left. Running out aimlessly not only wastes precious time in rescuing the wounded, but also puts oneself in danger. Instead of making this impulsive and stupid choice, I grabbed the edge of the hatch on the opposite side with both hands and got into the sealed cabin on the opposite side. The situation here is even worse, and it can even be said to be shocking. The top of the current capsule, which is also the innermost part of this sealed cabin, was originally a flat surface, but now it has been smashed into a huge dent. Squad leader Liu was sitting, and there was a cabin behind him, and there was a big depression in his position, and the dent was in the position of his shoulder, and the shoulder on his side was obviously seriously injured, and the whole shoulder collapsed. The side of the head that leaned against the dent was also broken, and thick blood flowed down his face, and half of his clothes were soaked with blood. Fortunately, the blood on the wound had coagulated and formed a thick blood scab, otherwise the person would have been finished a long time ago.

PS: Good weekend. The status has changed to A, no one congratulates me?
