Platoon Commander Zhao thought for a long time and didn't make a decision, but said to Xiao Guolin: "Team Xiao, what do you think about this matter." My heart suddenly became nervous, and I cursed in my heart. With his hesitant character, Xiao Guolin immediately ran out of ideas as soon as he poured cold water. Unexpectedly, Xiao Guolin did not express his position, but said something that obviously cleared his responsibility: "Our archaeological team can't help with this matter, so we won't make random ideas to add to the chaos." ”

I have no way of knowing why Xiao Guolin said this, why he changed his mind so quickly. But this made Platoon Commander Zhao quickly make a decision: hunting. The return of the two automatic rifles made Platoon Commander Zhao full of confidence. After Xiao Guolin said that the archaeological team would not participate and would not express his opinion, I consciously closed my mouth. As long as things don't go off track, I'm more happy to be idle. Platoon Commander Zhao immediately called the automatic rifle, bullet belt and grenade belt down through the walkie-talkie.

But then he said something that made Squad Leader Liu frightened: "Squad Leader Liu, you have seen that thing, you can lead the way." ”

When I looked at squad leader Liu's bloodless face, I thought to myself, he was afraid of that thing to the bones, and in order not to tell what he might be able to do, it was possible to defect in battle. Besides, I promised not to involve him in the hunt. So I immediately said to Platoon Leader Zhao: "Squad Leader Liu's injury is not suitable for any more adventures. ”

Platoon Commander Zhao said happily when he heard this: "Then you go, in short, you two have to go to one." You know, we haven't seen that thing, and we need a guide. ”

When I heard this, it occurred to me that this could be a trap, a trap to snatch the gun out of my hand. As long as I and squad leader Liu are separated, he can justifiably let me hand over the gun, and it's basically useless for me to get it back. This is something I can't accept. Since I knew the task given to squad leader Liu by Company Commander Li and squad leader Liu's attitude on the question of whether to shoot or not, holding this gun in my hand has been the thing I insist on the most. I glanced at squad leader Liu a little apologetically and said, "No way, it seems that we have to go again." ”

Team Leader Liu looked at me strugglingly, did not speak, and lowered his head without energy. I think he also saw Platoon Commander Zhao's thoughts. Platoon Commander Zhao didn't expect this result, but in this way, he couldn't say anything anymore.

The automatic rifle and grenade were quickly put in place, and the soldier who was with Xu Xinming heard that he was going hunting, and excitedly took out a very thin bundle of rope from his pocket and said to us, "Do you need to put down a sleeve?" I'm good at this. "I was amused by him" Can you go down in the water? The warrior blushed, "Of course not." "With me and squad leader Liu joining, the hunting team became five people, and all four automatic weapons were brought out, Xu Xinming and I were holding Wei * Chong, and Platoon Leader Zhao and another soldier each carried an automatic rifle. In this way, squad leader Liu, who can only move with one hand, has to take on the work of lighting. It is obviously inconvenient to shoot a gun with one hand, but there is no problem with using it to shoot a flashlight. What's worse is that the person in charge of lighting has to walk in front of the team, and the speed of squad leader Liu has slowed down not long after walking, and he is embarrassed to say that he is afraid, and he walks very hard in front.

I don't have to think about it to know that this thing has greeted my family all over my heart. Fearing that he would collapse and mess up the operation, I ran two quick steps up to him and said, "Follow me by the way." ”

I didn't have the psychological shadow of him, I walked very fast in front of me, and I quickly lifted the speed of the whole team. With me as a living reference, squad leader Liu's nervousness has been relieved. After an hour of rapid marching, I felt that I was almost done, and stretched out a fist upwards in front of me, signaling to stop the advance.

Then he said to Platoon Commander Zhao, who followed up, "That's it." There isn't much point in going any further. ”

Platoon Commander Zhao nodded and motioned for the soldiers to act according to the plan.

This plan was drawn up under my leadership, because I and Team Leader Liu were the only ones who had encountered it and had some understanding of its characteristics. Based on its sensitivity to lighting, we still intend to attract it with light. However, we didn't plan to use a flashlight, in case we missed, the flashlight was broken, it would not be as simple as the gains outweighed the losses, and it might kill everyone. We're going to lure it out with torches.

During the time I was waiting for Platoon Commander Zhao to come back, I made more than a dozen torches and sticks. Platoon Commander Zhao came back this time with a large amount of textiles, sleeping bags, empty first-aid kits, seat covers, cushion backrests, and materials that could keep warm or burn. We've made a few improvised torches to use in this water kill.

In the area I chose, there were gaps in the walls of the cave that could be used to hold torches. When we light a torch, we realize how fucked up a torch is when there's no grease or other flammable materials added to it. Fortunately, I asked Cao Mingzhe for some paper before leaving, and it took a lot of effort to light the torch.

The three torches were inserted into the cracks in the cave walls, and the torch rods were so long that the flames could clearly shine on the water. The three torches were spaced about five meters apart, and we divided into two groups and hid in the darkness on both sides. I told the fighters to keep your body down and protect yourself. It had to be me who fired the first shot, they didn't know what the target was, and I was worried that they had hit the wrong target. Getting food and grease was our primary goal of this operation, and it was important to me to take out that huge aquatic creature as well. I feel that its existence must threaten my search plans below.

Squad Leader Liu and I had another soldier on the side of the way back, and Platoon Leader Zhao and Xu Xinming on the other side. The combination of weapons in this way is also more reasonable, and each group has a high-powered automatic rifle.

After ten minutes of waiting, I lost hope for this operation. The water surface is calm, the water waves gently lap the embankment, and the range illuminated by the firelight is too small, compared with the strong flashlight that shoots directly out for dozens of meters, the light of the torch can only be reflected on the water surface of about five meters. Moreover, torches without grease cannot burn for long, and the light of the torches has begun to dim, and I am afraid it will not last long.

If it doesn't work, what should I do. I thought nervously for a while, and thought there was another possibility. The moment Squad Leader Liu and I brought out the giant aquatic creatures, in addition to the lighting, another factor was that we were eating. Food debris falls into the water, and although it is not enough to stuff it between teeth, the taste of the food may be another factor that attracts it. This underground water source, with no sunlight, should have little food source. The taste of our compressed food attracts it, and it becomes a possibility.
