I saw that Xiao Guolin had returned to normal, and immediately reported the situation of my search with squad leader Liu. My elaboration of the huge aquatic creature aroused Xiao Guolin's strong interest, and he had the idea of seeing the wonder. However, the great danger still made him dispel this idea.

With the fire, with the hot water, while getting a rest, the tiredness hit like a tidal wave, and we decided to take turns sleeping for a while. Squad Leader Liu sat in the direction facing the water source, his face was not relieved by the warmth, and it was still pale.

"Sleep, I can't sleep." Squad leader Liu said calmly.

I know what's going on, but there's nothing I can do, I don't think anyone can help him right now. On the way back, he injected another morphine as well, and now the effects of the morphine have passed. He couldn't sleep at all under the torture of the injury, and if he fell asleep now, it would be in a coma.

I was still baking clothes, Xiao Guolin and Cao Mingzhe were already asleep, and Platoon Leader Zhao went back with a bunch of wood, sat for a while, and fell asleep against the wood. I dried my clothes and put them on, and when I was about to sleep for a while, I heard the sound of "brushing, brushing". After carefully identifying the direction of the sound, he found that the sound came from the crack, and after a while, Xu Xinming's excited voice came: "Platoon Commander Zhao, I'm back." “

In the empty and silent environment, the sound was particularly loud, but Platoon Commander Zhao and the three of them were too tired, and they also had the effects of hypothermia on their bodies, and none of the three of them woke up from their sleep.

A moment later, two figures appeared in my sight, it was Xu Xinming and the health soldier. Xu Xinming's face was obviously swollen, and his eyes were even more swollen, and it seemed that he didn't rest on the way back and forth. In fact, the moment I saw him, I thought of my state, which was probably similar to his state. The health soldier is in much better shape, and it seems that he has at least some time to rest on his side.

Squad leader Liu couldn't help but stand up when he saw the health soldiers coming. The medical soldiers also looked at squad leader Liu first, it seems that the purpose of his coming down is mainly for squad leader Liu, a seriously injured man. However, contrary to squad leader Liu's performance, he was relieved when he saw squad leader Liu's collapsed left shoulder.

Xu Xinming glanced at Platoon Commander Zhao sadly, flattened him, and sat next to him to guard his platoon commander. I said to the health soldier, "Squad Leader Liu's left shoulder is injured again, see if you can deal with it." “

The health soldier immediately checked the injuries of squad leader Liu's left shoulder and skull, and said, "There is no big problem, the shoulder needs to be re-fixed." But I only have one morphine here, and it hurts to splint my shoulder, so I'm still using it..."

"Use it now." Squad leader Liu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then interrupted him.

Now the people who can make decisions are in a deep sleep or coma, and I know very well that squad leader Liu is about to collapse due to the pain, so I helped him make a decision: "Use it, it is difficult for Xiao Liu to persist without pain." “

The health soldier knew better than me the torture of this injury to squad leader Liu, and after getting the approval of the two people, he immediately injected squad leader Liu with our last morphine. Once the pain is gone, splinting is much simpler. I watched as the health soldier skillfully bandaged Squad Leader Liu's shoulder, and after a few knocks on his eyelids, he fell asleep.

It was a dreamless sleep, and I was woken up by a dry throat. Everyone woke up and getting enough sleep gave me a lot of energy. I took a look at the people around the fire, and Platoon Commander Zhao and Xu Xinming were not there. However, squad leader Liu immediately told me that Platoon Leader Zhao and Xu Xinming went back to get things.

During the transfer of all the personnel from the rescue pod to the reservoir space, because there were wounded, the supplies they carried were not very sufficient, and only the necessities were taken. This also includes a fixed lighting system with a battery. This big guy accounts for more than half of the total weight of all the transferred materials, but fortunately, the wounded who have undergone thoracotomy can walk around with the help of others, otherwise, they will have to carry a fixed lighting system on their backs for the first time.

The penlight was broken by Xu Xinming on the road, and when turned on, it only emitted flashing light, but there was no continuous lighting, forcing them to dismantle a heavy fixed lighting system to get here. Therefore, a large amount of supplies were left near the rescue cabin, and platoon commander Zhao led all the soldiers who could move back to carry the supplies.

Squad Leader Liu's words were very organized, and it could be seen that he had returned to normal. The health soldier sat next to me and dozed off, but he became the least awake of all. Platoon Commander Zhao's absence here does not affect our discussion of the next action plan. I first talked about the search process of me and squad leader Liu in a more specific and organized way. When it came to planning for the next steps, we had a little disagreement.

The unanimous opinion is that the existing personnel will search in two groups. The group continued to search here, and the goal was first to find Song Guilong, which was the insistence of me and Team Leader Liu, and Xiao Guolin had no objection to this. The second purpose is to find the relics of civilization and traces of life. The other group is active in the upper layer of space, and the activity area is concentrated in the passage leading to the direction of the Yadan landform group. The purpose was to find an exit and try to contact the ground command.

The difference is in the lighting. The group operating in upper space, because it is tasked with connecting with the ground, will inevitably carry the most powerful walkie-talkie on the shoulder. This means that the flashlight should be in their group. This point was determined before Platoon Commander Zhao left, and I didn't need to agree to make this decision.

Pen torches, which were originally weak, can now be ineffective at any time, and torches have become the only source of light for searching for water sources. The large and vicious aquatic creatures in the water will attack the light source, and our torches will not only be difficult to ignite, but also cannot be illuminated for a long time. This greatly restricts our actions, and even imposes a death sentence on our actions.

One of my bold ideas was to kill this aquatic creature. This not only eliminates hidden dangers, but also solves the problem that torches are not superficial.

We know that animals that survive in cold environments will have a thick layer of fat. The main reason why our torches do not function as well as they should be is that they lack the grease that can burn for a long time.

However, my suggestion was opposed by all the people except the health guards. It was not that the health soldiers did not object, but that they did not take a stand. This guy is sober and knows his place in the group, and his statements will not have an effect in this case.

Xiao Guolin objected, and I can understand that he probably had the purpose of protecting this unknown species. I despise squad leader Liu's attitude very much, he is purely out of fear, I clearly told him that it is not a water ghost, but I can't dispel the slightest fear from him.

PS: Second update. I finally came back before 18 o'clock, and I didn't break my promise.
