There are obvious traces of water erosion on the brick wall of the passage, and you can see the traces of different shades left on the brick wall due to the difference in water surface. I wondered if there were signs of green moss growing on them, but they were clean and definitely different from the urban drainage networks I had seen. Neither modern nor ancient drainage networks can be so clean, and ancient drainage networks do not separate sewage from rainwater. This network is more like a surface water collection channel.

And this is not inexplicable, although there have been oases here in history, and even Ze country with rich water and grass. But drought is the norm overall, and even when water is abundant, it is surrounded by wilderness. The desire for abundant water, and the fear of water shortage, led the civilization to build a vast underground water storage system, which is understandable.

The further I went, the more convinced I became, that the smooth ground was free of any dirt, not even sediment, just a thin layer of dust. It shows that this civilization attaches great importance to the water quality of the introduced channels, and there is filtration before it is introduced into the ground.

After groping for an hour or so, a fork in the road appeared in front of me, and it was obvious. The direction we are heading in is the upstream of the canal, which can be judged by the slight upward slope. The angle of the fork is very gentle, and the two passages converge from two directions from a forceful angle into the passage where we are walking in the opposite direction. The direction of the water flow can also be seen from the design of the channel.

Here we stopped, made a mark on the ground, and went back the way we came. Before coming out to search, there was an agreement that if you find traces of Song Guilong or find the first fork, you will return immediately.

When I returned to the rescue capsule, I saw that Xiao Guolin's team had already returned, and several people got together and had an argument. I briefly reported the results of my search, and when I reported it, several of them finally stopped arguing, but as soon as I finished speaking, the quarrel started again. I didn't leave, I sat on the side and listened quietly. I have no intention of joining them in the quarrel or trying to dominate, but I have my own ideas, and I have one thing to accomplish. Their quarrel was the same as my purpose.

I want to find Song Guilong. I want to know what the hell is going on. I'm going to bring him back! Not only for me, but also for Company Commander Li. That's what I decided over a two-hour timeframe.

I'm going to bring him back. I said it silently. After saying that, I was surprised that I didn't say the word "alive". These were originally two words that I was very sensitive to, and I focused on correcting Company Commander Li's wording. Now that I've said the same, have I changed?

They're going to find a source of water, and they're now arguing over who to let go. To be more precise, it is the question of squad leader Liu's departure.

Squad Leader Liu was resolute and must go, unless he was shot now. According to his condition, it is difficult to say that he will come back alive after going out on this trip, so everyone is strongly opposed. The two opinions have become a saber-rattling.

This shows the weak side of Platoon Commander Zhao, and his various methods are ineffective in front of Team Leader Liu. I don't know how Company Commander Li will deal with this situation, but I believe that Company Commander Li will be able to repair Squad Leader Liu in a short period of time.

I never spoke, habitually hiding my face in the dark, and carefully observing them, especially squad leader Liu, this guy is very abnormal. His face was a little rosy from the excitement, and it was self-evident what that meant for a man who had lost a lot of blood. I was a little worried about his fragile skull injuries that would cause bleeding. However, compared to usual, he is much calmer now, with simple facial expressions and concise and resolute speech.

I can see that he is deliberately imitating Lian Commander Li, although he is immature, he has a bit of charm. Just when the two sides were deadlocked, squad leader Liu suddenly broke off: "Don't persuade me." If you think I can't do it, I can go alone. That's it. ”

This momentum is simply Company Commander Li's possession.

I knew from the beginning that squad leader Liu's purpose was not to find a water source, his purpose was the same as mine, to find Song Guilong. And I've been here to observe, but no one has objected, just because I must have a place for this trip. Of the three members of the archaeological team here, I am the youngest, in good health, and have no obvious injuries, and I am the first person to be selected for this mission. In this case, I have a say, and I can change the situation. Of course I will support squad leader Liu to go, anyway, he is already determined, not to mention, I have always wanted to know what Company Commander Li said in those five minutes. At present, I can only get this information from squad leader Liu.

"I support squad leader Liu to go." My words immediately attracted several sharp glances.

Without flinching, I poked my face out of the darkness and said, "Unless you are willing to let him go alone." After speaking, I looked at Platoon Commander Zhao.

Platoon Commander Zhao hesitated, he couldn't grasp the complicated situation in front of him, and the situation tended to get out of control. I took the opportunity to say, "He can't feel at ease if he stays here, and I'm willing to take care of him on the way." ”

"I don't have to be taken care of." Team Leader Liu didn't appreciate it, and said with a calm expression: "I have no problem, and any injuries more serious than this have never affected me." ”

Pretending to be a criminal. I scolded him.

My turmoil has led to a split of one-sided views. Squad Leader Liu's insistence and Platoon Leader Zhao's weakness reversed the original situation in a very short period of time, and the focus of the discussion quickly shifted to specific candidates, and there was no need to discuss whether Squad Leader Liu would stay or not.

In the end, the candidates who decided to go out to find water were me, squad leader Liu, platoon leader Zhao, Xiao Guolin, and Xu Xinming. Later, Cao Mingzhe wanted to follow, so he added him. Next, everyone took a little water, compressed food could take a little more, and everyone was preparing for the departure.

While a few of the fighters were redistributing their guns, I approached the health guard and asked him for two morphines. He reluctantly gave it to me and asked me, "What do you want to do here?" Where did you get hurt? ”

I said, "I don't know what dangers are in this operation, but I am prepared." ”

I was just about to leave, but the health soldier stopped me and said, "Squad Leader Liu is going too?" ”

I said, "Yes."

"I heard you, it was your idea."

…

"Looks like you're going to kill him this time."

Depend on. If he hadn't been bandaging the wounded, I could have gone up and kicked him to death.

"Come back alive." The health soldier didn't look up when he said this.

I prepared these two morphines for squad leader Liu. I knew that if he wanted to get everyone to agree to him on the operation, he would not be able to show that his injuries were not strong enough to affect the operation, and that he would not be able to ask the health guards for morphine. I know the injury of squad leader Liu, but this is not the case, and I must be prepared if I want things to go smoothly.

PS: Monday's support is important, please don't skimp on the tickets in your hand. There is another chapter, which will be more out before 19 o'clock.
