Chapter 16: Bunker No. 1

"Let's go, let's go out and have a look." Xiao Guolin patted me and walked out the door. "You feel like there's a lot of stuff you can't afford to throw away, and you end up throwing yourself away. Seeing the big sandstorm in real terms may teach you to let go of something. ”

When I came out, Xiao Guolin moved a fire ladder and built it on a two-story board house. The lower end of the fire ladder is inserted in the sand, but there is no need to worry about wiping and slipping. Cao Mingzhe, a member of the archaeological team, glanced at Xiao Guolin and teased, "There is still that leisure, do you want me to give you a close-up." ”

Xiao Guolin twisted around in the middle of the ladder and posed. Cao Mingzhe cooperated very well and made a backward framing pose. The relaxed attitude of these two people made me relax my slightly nervous state again. There is almost no rain in the desert area, and the buildings here are flat-roofed, but all the buildings are painted in the earthy yellow of the desert without exception. There was no need to build a two-story building, because there was no shortage of land, but too much of the ground was vacant. This two-story board house was built to support the camouflage net. The entire project is covered in camouflage nets, and many of the two-story buildings exist as supports for camouflage nets.

Standing on the two-story roof, I didn't feel a hint of wind. Following the direction of Xiao Guolin's finger, I saw a clear black line on the horizon, far away, like a cutting line between heaven and earth. Above the black line, the sky was still high and blue, dotted with a few white clouds, and below was the golden yellow sand. I couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Xiao Guolin didn't give me much time to sigh, "Distance produces beauty." Remember today's scene, it will be the first and only time you will praise this sight. The next time you see it, you'll only be afraid. After saying that, Xiao Guolin urged me to go down, the convoy was ready, and there was some chaos.

Xiao Guolin came down to see that it was a team of engineers negotiating with the archaeological team members. It turned out that the archaeological team and the group of material experts had always been privileged in the matter of vehicle rationing, and were equipped with the most vehicles. Today's incident happened suddenly, and other departments were seriously short of transportation, so the engineering company dispatched some personnel to us to evacuate by our car.

The engineers were familiar with us, and they immediately agreed on this issue, and the archaeological team members mixed with the engineers in several cars and withdrew to the No. 1 bunker.

In terms of location, ten kilometers east of the archaeological site, is where I came here and got off the helicopter transfer, which is a very large Yadan landform group. From here, we can faintly see the mound jungle standing in the sea of sand.

At the beginning of the establishment of the archaeological site, the headquarters chose a foothold in the Yadan landform group, which was called the base at that time. Because the facilities were imperfect at that time, people could not stay in the desert, and in the Yadan landform group, relying on the towering mounds, temporary shelters could be quickly built to block the wind and the sun. It became a place for the construction workers to rest and stay.

Later, the project facilities were gradually improved, and the personnel were gradually transferred to the construction site, but it was not abandoned and became a storage center and a logistics center. Our project is highly confidential, not only internally, but also externally. Storing large quantities of materials here is also a means of anti-satellite reconnaissance.

At the same time, for security reasons, the command has established two permanent bunkers in this Yadan landform group to deal with possible emergencies. One of the bunkers, which is on the edge of the former base area, can also be said to be integrated with the storage center.

The convoy pulled out of the camouflage net, rolled up a puff of dust, and headed for Bunker One. I sat by the window and turned my head to see the black lines of the black sandstorm on the horizon. The direction of the car's travel, almost parallel to the black line on the horizon, gave me the feeling of riding in a car to inspect the honor guard. The black lines in the distance resemble a uniform army.

The others obviously didn't have the same timeless mood as me, and their expressions were all serious. Except for me and Xiao Guolin, who are from the archaeological team, everyone else in my car is an engineer. I also comforted one of the fighters next to me: "I'm about to go into bunker, don't be so nervous." ”

The warrior stared in the direction of the black sandstorm and said, "Bunkers aren't necessarily safe either. ”

I looked at this soldier for about three or four seconds, turned my head and looked at Xiao Guolin who was sitting in the back row.

Xiao Guolin grinned bitterly, "This sandstorm is a bit big and dangerous. But then again, drinking water can also lead to choking to death. Overall, bunker number one is safe. ”

I felt that Xiao Guolin was perfunctory to me. The expression on his face became more and more unnatural. It seemed that everyone had a premonition of danger coming, but I, the first brother who worked in the desert, was still immersed in the spectacle. However, I was also infected by Xiao Guolin's atmosphere, especially Xiao Guolin's attitude towards this matter, sometimes he was relaxed, sometimes he was serious and scared to death, which made my mood feel like a roller coaster. Now he has such an attitude of life and death, people are scared to death, you know you.

My mood also changed from curiosity to nervousness. I can't say I'm scared, because I haven't really been exposed to sandstorms, I don't know how powerful they are, but I'm just infected by everyone's emotions.

The convoy soon entered the Yadan landform group. Bunker No. 1 is located in a dense area of mounds, which are connected by reinforced concrete fortifications and form a large sand retaining wall. Inside the walls are a number of free-standing yurt-like buildings, but these yurts are permanent structures made of reinforced concrete.

Each yurt has a striking inscription on it that it belongs to. I followed Xiao Guolin and quickly found the special bunker for the archaeological team. The walls of the bunker were thick, not spacious inside, and a dozen people looked cramped inside. There are several rows of three-tiered beds, each with improvised sleeping bags. The heavy concrete door is open outward, with an observation opening in each of the four directions, small, without glass, and an iron plate that can be pulled down. If the baffles of the four observation ports were pulled down, there would be no room for light to penetrate in this bunker. There was a telephone on the wall, and I think it was only used to talk between separate bunkers, and it was impossible to pull the telephone line to the base camp, or even to the construction site of the project, because I saw that the transport team was in contact with the material center, and they all used walkie-talkies.

I was finally relieved to see this fortified fortress. Captain Zhou sat on a chair, looked around, and suddenly asked, "What about Team Song?" Who came over in a car with Song Guilong. ”

No one spoke. Suddenly, there was a deathly silence in the bunker.

PS: In the past few days, I have been talking to the editor about signing a contract, and I have seen a doctor for foot pain. Next week to strive for more more, no manuscript is more painful, every day Alexander.
