The two of them objected, and my plan lost the basis for implementation, because judging from the previous performance, Platoon Commander Zhao had no possibility of supporting this plan. I looked at my watch, this time I slept for more than seven hours, Platoon Commander Zhao and they set off not long ago, and it will take at least ten hours to make a round trip, and I must make a draft for the following actions during this time, and draw up a plan.

Or the lighting problem, this problem is not solved, and the later actions are not easy to arrange. Even if it is reluctantly planned, it will be dangerous, and it will not be approved by Platoon Commander Zhao and Xiao Guolin. At that time, I was not mentally prepared and courageous to leave the organization and go it alone, so winning the majority of the people to approve my plan was the first thing I had to consider.

I patted the sleepy health guard and asked him, "How much alcohol do we have?" ”

The health soldier said in a daze: "It's not much, it's a kilogram." ”

I figured out that this bit of alcohol would not be very useful if it were used as torch fuel. The alcohol evaporates too quickly, if there is an alcohol lamp, the alcohol can be lit for a long time, but not now, it will evaporate quickly when poured on the torch. Compared to the stable combustion effect of grease, the effect of alcohol is too poor.

Before I could think of a better way for the time being, I asked for a penlight from Xiao Guolin to see if I could fix it. As a result, I was disappointed to find that the main problem of the penlight was not that the contact was not sensitive, but that the battery was dead. At this time, I was completely out of tricks, and I sat there thinking about it for a long time, thinking of countless plans, but under the premise of no lighting, all the plans could not be implemented. If you want to enforce it, the result can only be that there is no return.

After confirming that without the light, all plans would not be executed, I turned my thinking to convincing them to agree with my plan. I put the breakthrough on squad leader Liu, who opposed the hunting of the huge water creature out of fear of the water ghost. As long as he understands the truth that he can't find Song Guilong without lighting, and then guarantees that he will not be allowed to join the hunt, there is a great hope of convincing him. Because the hunt and killing operation must be dominated by Platoon Commander Zhao, he can not participate at all.

Five people sat around the fire, but none of them spoke, probably thinking about things like me. The fire made a "crackling" sound, which was crisp and harsh. Other than that, the silence is scary.

On my left hand sat squad leader Liu, and then there was the health soldier. On the right hand side is Xiao Guolin. If I want to discuss this matter alone with squad leader Liu, I have to leave the fire, as long as I talk here, I will definitely be heard by the people around me. When we leave alone, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others, and in this case, distrust is fatal. I thought about it and decided to be open and honest about my persuasion.

To ease the tension and silence, I pulled out the box of cigarettes from my sleeping bag, which was damp and crumpled. I took out one, straightened it and handed it to Xiao Guolin, who took it with a smile.

"That doesn't mean a change of opinion." Xiao Guolin lit a cigarette on the fire as he spoke.

I pulled out another one and smiled apologetically at Cao Mingzhe. He's the only one I know who doesn't smoke.

Cao Mingzhe looked at me and suddenly said, "I remember one thing." ”

I stood up excitedly and glanced at Team Leader Liu with my peripheral eyes. Urgently, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cao Mingzhe raised a hand and said, "You stepped on it for me." ”

I roared inside. Can't you think of something useful!?

I smiled awkwardly, the expression on my face stiff. Cao Mingzhe's hand was not so terrifying after being bandaged, but it was obvious that two fingers were broken and fixed with a wooden board. I couldn't answer him, so I turned to the meditator and asked, "How is his hand?" ”

The health soldier finally came to his senses and replied, "It's not serious, the sprain has been reduced, and the severed finger has been fixed." The problem is that he often bumps into injuries, which can aggravate broken fingers. ”

For a person who has problems with both mental and perceptual nerves, you can't communicate with common sense. I smiled awkwardly and said to Cao Mingzhe, "Retract your hand, don't burn it." ”

I took the opportunity to sit back quickly, stuffed the cigarette in my hand into my mouth, didn't light it, but handed the penlight to squad leader Liu. Squad Leader Liu tinkered twice and immediately handed it back to me, his face was like a black piece of paper. It was obvious that the battery was dead, and he naturally understood the severity of the situation immediately.

When I took the flashlight, I handed over a cigarette. Squad Leader Liu paused, caught it, and took out a red piece of wood from the fire and lit it. I leaned over and lit a cigarette and said to him, "What do you have to do?" ”

Then I sat back and smoked in silence. There's no way without lighting, and there's a good way to hell.

I'm going to give him time to think about it, I don't believe he has given up the idea of searching for Song Guilong when he opposed the killing of giant aquatic creatures. I think he probably still has fantasies about pen flashlights, and just giving him a pen flashlight confirmed my suspicion through his expression. I'm going to give him time to think, and I'm organizing the language at the same time. How to make him change his mind, which sentence can hit his weakness and play a role in quickly turning the situation around, I have to think about these clearly, and it is best to be able to say it in one sentence.

The expressions of the five people facing the firelight were all clear in the firelight, and no one could hide. I smoked a cigarette silently and looked at everyone's expressions, especially the changes in squad leader Liu's face.

After taking the last puff of my cigarette, I threw the cigarette butt into the fire, leaned over to Squad Leader Liu, stared at him and said, "If you can't convince Platoon Commander Zhao to leave us the bright flashlight, any action we take here will need torches to illuminate." None of the torches we make so far will be able to burn long, or even ignite them, and the aquatic creatures here must have a thick layer of fat that can help us make torches that will burn for a long time. ”

I paused for a moment to let him digest and understand what I meant, but I didn't want to wait for him to ask, I had to get my thoughts out in a short time.

"Unless you give up searching for Song Guilong, we must get a lasting light!" I said this very harshly. But I didn't stop, and after giving him a head-on blow, I continued: "I don't support your participation in the hunt for aquatic creatures. This operation should be dominated by Platoon Commander Zhao, and the soldiers of the Guard Company have two Type 81 automatic rifles, and they should be the main force of the hunting operation. I believe that two automatic rifles fired in a salvo could easily cut off the head of that water monster. ”

My words obviously moved Team Leader Liu. As I expected, as long as he wasn't allowed to face that aquatic creature, his attitude would change.

"What's more, if we don't solve this trouble, our next search will be in danger at any time." I knew it was time for me to say in a more aggravated tone, "Do you want to touch it again?!" ”

PS: First update. The second will be later, but there will be. I felt that the story was in the French language, so I voted for it. Don't let this book be at the bottom of the dream coaster!
