Chapter 18: I Can't Run

I sat in the second row with Xiao Guolin and squad leader Liu, and I sat in the middle, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing. We have to figure out where Song Guilong last appeared, and we don't have time to figure this out in bunker No. 1, so we have to figure it out now. A few of us kept carefully checking the location with the soldier who had seen Song Guilong, and finally had a common understanding of the place where Song Guilong finally appeared and the direction of travel.

Xiao Guolin and I silently glanced at each other, and according to this location and direction, the most likely place for Song Guilong to go was the exploration pit where the ruins were discovered. Xiao Guolin's eyes and I were full of questions, and I really couldn't think of what he was going to go back to get.

Xiao Guolin sat by the window, and outside the window was the direction of the black sandstorm. I had been checking all kinds of information just now, my mind was highly concentrated, and the various pictures in my mind kept turning over and comparing them, and I forgot the fear of the black sandstorm for the time being. But when I looked at Xiao Guolin, the scene outside his window made my heart tremble, and I didn't need to personally experience the danger of the sandstorm, just see this scene.

The black sandstorm still seemed to be far away, and it was not felt that it was near, but the black line on the horizon had become a low wall, as black as ink, straight, and in great contrast with the color of heaven and earth, and the dividing line was obvious, like a row of pens dipped in ink drawing a horizontal stroke between heaven and earth. There was a deathly silence in the air, without a trace of wind, and the sand and dust rolled up by the off-road vehicle floated straight up in the air behind the car, like a yellow dragon that did not disperse for a long time.

The wind that poured into the car from the windows whipped like a whip in the face. The fiery whip and the hot air did not increase the temperature of my body in the slightest. I felt a layer of sweat on my body, it was cold, as cold as my heart. People who have worked in the desert for a long time rarely sweat, and I haven't sweated for almost half a month, which is a manifestation of the body's self-regulation, in order to maximize the body's hydration. Now, I'm sweating, and an inexplicable fear hangs over me.

I don't have to look in the mirror to know how ugly my face is. Xiao Guolin didn't look back at the window, he looked at me with no expression on his face and said, "I said, this black sandstorm is a bit big." ”

"How long will it take to get here?" When I asked this, my voice was a little out of tune.

"It's hard to say. But that's not the main thing, it's how much time we spend that matters. Xiao Guolin never looked back, very calm, but without a relaxed and ridiculous tone, "What we can control is our time, it is not under our control." ”

His sentence is: God knows.

I know that this decision today was impulsive and beyond my means. But as far as my personality is concerned, I would still make this choice if it started all over again. It's hard for me to look at my teammates in danger and be indifferent. I call this kind of character an excess of responsibility.

The car sped through the desert. When we rushed into the camouflage net, we saw two fighters from the guard company waiting for us. They had already received an order from the No. 1 chief, and the scene was commanded by Company Commander Li.

The two soldiers quickly reported to Company Commander Li that there were six members of this guard team, and that the places that had been searched were the archaeological team's station, the engineer station, the canteen and its warehouse, the guard company's station, and the headquarters, but none of these locations were found. At present, the four soldiers of the guard company are separately searching for the material scientist station, the construction site, the general control room of the power station and the hoisting system, the on-site material warehouse, and the team station. The two of them are waiting here for Company Commander Li.

These words were said while walking, and Company Commander Li didn't stop for a minute, and after getting out of the car, he walked directly to the last place where Song Guilong appeared. When we arrived at the location, the soldier pointed in the direction of Song Guilong's travel, and we had a tacit understanding to run to the three exploration pits in this direction.

Xiao Guolin and I came to the excavation pit of the unearthed site, although it was very deep, it was clear at a glance, except for a few tools left in the excavation pit, there was no figure in the exploration pit. The low walls on one side of the exploration pit, although they block a certain line of sight, are not enough to block a person. For the sake of insurance, Xiao Guolin and I shouted Song Guilong's name and circled around the exploration pit, before giving up the exploration pit in frustration.

The other two probe pits are cleaner and free of any shelter. As soon as a few of us met, we immediately searched for the rest of the detectives in groups. The distance between the probes was very long, and we tirelessly ran from one probe to another, until we had searched all the probes and we met again at the designated place, and we felt tired. It is the weariness of the heart. When the four guards company soldiers completed the search for the set target and arrived at the designated place with nothing, Company Commander Li reported the results to the command headquarters in frustration.

After a few seconds of silence, the hoarse voice of the leader of No. 1 came from the walkie-talkie, "Come back, immediately retreat to bunker No. 1." ”

The two off-road vehicles broke out of the camouflage net and sped away towards the Yadan landform group. The guard company's car was in front, and our car was in the dust, following closely behind. No one in the car was willing to speak, and I felt that my heart was so blocked that I might go crazy if I suppressed it like this.

Shortly after leaving the camouflage net, the off-road vehicle in front suddenly shook, then overturned sideways, and rolled out of the sand for a long time. Company Commander Li braked suddenly, the four doors opened at the same time, and everyone jumped out of the off-road vehicle and ran towards the overturned off-road vehicle.

I sat in the middle seat, and no matter how fast I reacted, I couldn't get past anyone else, and by the time I jumped out of the car, someone else had already run out for a while. I ran a few steps behind, Xiao Guolin in front suddenly stopped, I thought he couldn't support it, and hurriedly went over to help him. Xiao Guolin ignored me, looked up at the sky for a while, and said something brainless: "I can't run away." ”

Several fighters who were running fast had already run to the scene of the overturned car and dragged the people in the car out. I was so angry that I shouted at Xiao Guolin: "Everyone else has run over, why can't you run over." ”

It was Company Commander Li who answered me. He also stopped, and stopped as suddenly as Xiao Guolin. But instead of looking at the sky, he raised his arms and stretched them out at his sides, his fingers slightly open. maintained the same static state as Xiao Guolin. His answer, perhaps in his own words, was this: he couldn't run away.

I was horrified by the same voice of these two people in different fields. My first instinct was that these two people had fallen into evil.

Xiao Guolin withdrew his gaze from the sky, looked at me, and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, "It's windy, do you feel it?" ”

Yes, the wind blew across my face and it was cool.

"It's not the wind of the desert. This wind comes from hell. Xiao Guolin's tone was very gentle, but it was colder than this wind.
