Chapter 20: Captain Song!

It's the wind. Unlike a whistling hurricane, which makes a whimpering sound; It is also different from the mountain wind blowing through the mountains and forests, blowing a piercing sound like a whistle. It's unlike anything I've ever heard. More like thunder. Moreover, all the thunder in the world is concentrated here, and it is like ten thousand horses galloping, and the rumbling sound resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the earth trembled.

It was as dark as hell, the earth-shattering wind overshadowed all voices, and the faint bright spot in Xiao Guolin's hand became our only instruction. At that moment, this light was as bright as a lighthouse and a giant candle, giving us a direction to travel.

Windproof goggles are a desert must-have. In order to prevent loss and facilitate collection, all of our workwear has a special pocket for windproof goggles. I quickly took out my windscreen goggles and snapped them tightly to my eyes. Because of the frequent use, the windproof goggles are more seriously worn, and the vision is more blurred after wearing, and the light is not very obvious. But I know that no one will take off their windshield goggles for this, because the consequences are more serious. Soon after hearing the wind, the wind really came. More precisely, it is like the iron sand emitted by a shotgun, which hits the body finely.

I felt that the wind was no longer blowing in disorder, but from the north, carrying a large amount of sand. Luckily, we were traveling in the same direction, and the sand storm hit me on my back, pushing me forward. As I ran forward, I cocked my collar and grabbed it with one hand to avoid exposing my neck. Living and working in the desert, no matter how hot it is, they will wear a long gown, except for their face and hands. At the beginning of the storm, the sand hit my bare neck so painfully that I felt like the back of my neck was rotting.

Everyone was running desperately and intently. The camouflage net on the top of his head was torn to pieces by the sandstorm at the first moment. Larger fragments of camouflage nets were wrapped around my head as the sandstorm hit me. The iron plate welded into one piece under his feet shook like a resonance. Running under the interweaving of various forces, my movements must be very strange, I must be very similar to a zombie playing a pendulum. I suddenly had this thought in my mind.

The point of light stopped suddenly, and I couldn't stop bumping into a person in front of me, I couldn't see who it was, and he didn't speak. In the dim light, I saw my destination, and the deepest pit was right in front of me.

At this point, a brighter light shines towards the hoisting system. A person with a strong flashlight suddenly became the focus of everyone, judging from the figure, it should be Company Commander Li.

Here I want to explain that when we came out to search and rescue Song Guilong this time, all units carried walkie-talkies, except for Company Commander Li, who carried walkie-talkies, all of which we used were simple walkie-talkies. Because the distance of our trip is too close, and carrying a walkie-talkie on the shoulder is a bit of a snake and a lot of weight, so Company Commander Li's move is not only unusual, but also makes me feel incomprehensible. However, this walkie-talkie is far better than portable walkie-talkie in terms of talk distance and talk time, and it also has an advantage, that is, the walkie-talkie is equipped with a light source, a strong light flashlight integrated with walkie-talkie. Of course, this depends first and foremost on its powerful battery, and it is impossible for our portable walkie-talkies to have a high-energy battery. Company Commander Li immediately pointed to a person and made a gesture. An engineer soldier quickly climbed onto the hoisting system scaffold, and under the guidance of a strong flashlight, climbed onto the hoisting system beam.

The steel cable of the rescue cabin is different from the steel cable of the dump bucket. The rescue chamber will continue to lower as the pit goes deeper, so its steel cables will be loose and will not be in a taut state. However, the rescue capsule is placed in the middle of the exploration party, and its steel cable pulley will also be fixed in the middle of the beam above the exploration pit. There is no electricity at the moment, and we have to go into the exploration pit, either by jumping down or climbing down the steel cable. What the fighter had to do was to drag the steel cable pulley from the middle of the beam to the side of the pit.

The hoisting system itself is seven or eight meters high, and the pit below is as deep as 20 meters, which is no different from suicide in this kind of ghost weather, without any protection. But this is our only chance, and I believe that everyone's hearts are raised to their throats, and no one speaks. Of course, no one can hear even if they say it.

Instead of dragging the pulley as I had imagined, the warrior tied a leash to the pulley and went down with the steel rope. I can't help but be ashamed, in this case, being able to do this step is beyond the ability of ordinary people, how can it be possible to have the spare strength to drag the pulley back. There are more than 20 meters of steel cables dragged underneath.

Several fighters worked together to drag the pulley over. A fighter climbed onto the scaffold and secured the pulley with an iron hook. The steel cable has been pulled straight, but it is still more than two meters away from the edge of the exploration pit, and there is no power supply, so it is impossible to extend the steel cable further. In normal times, it is difficult to jump out and grab the steel cable, and it is even more difficult to do this in this case.

I patted the person with the flashlight and motioned for me to come first. Company Commander Li didn't speak, but gave way to the side, and the flashlight shone directly on the steel cable. Everyone has to make this jump, either die or live, and no one can help with this.

The steel cable was taut and shook violently under the sandstorm. This distance is not difficult for me, and I have the courage to jump in order to survive, and the most difficult thing to grasp is the shaking caused by the sandstorm. I took two steps and slammed into the air, lunging down on the cable.

"It's over," I cursed in my heart. The shaky wire rope whip whipped in my face, and I almost got popped out of it. Fortunately, I reacted in time and grabbed the steel cable with both hands at the same time. It was easy to go down from the steel cable to the bottom of the pit, the steel cable was well maintained, there were no raised steel wires, and there was a thin protective grease on the surface, I half climbed and half slid down to the bottom of the pit.

The first soldier to come down was very experienced in slapping open the transition cabin of the rescue cabin and turned on the ceiling light. I came down so fast that I almost crashed into the survival pod, and he caught me with his body. When we both got up at the same time, I realized that this person was squad leader Liu.

It's much quieter under the pit, and there are no scary sandstorms, and if you don't worry about the sand and dust falling on it, you can take off the goggles. But the terrible sound of the sandstorm overhead was still deafening, and we couldn't speak, just nodded to each other.

The third one came down was a warrior, and it was much better for two people to do protection, and no one fell. He made a very serious gesture as soon as he came, first pointing at it, stretching out two fingers horizontally, and finally making a gesture of carrying something.

Team Leader Liu and I glanced at each other and nodded at the same time. Obviously, a seriously injured person has to be carried down, which is a bit of a gamble.

Luckily, these two people came down smoothly. It's just that the speed was so fast that it almost slid down, and all three of us were knocked out of the way. The wounded man's arm was broken, and it was impossible to come down alone, and I couldn't imagine how severe the wound would be when he fell to the ground this time, and his expression confirmed my suspicions, but then he laughed out loud. Perhaps it was the joy of the aftermath that overwhelmed the pain.

I'm lucky, I've been lucky so far. All twelve people reached the bottom of the pit safely. The last one to come down was Company Commander Li, who asked us to enter the rescue capsule immediately, but not to use the life-saving mask for the time being, that is, not to use the oxygen in the cabin for the time being. His decision was cautious, but it made sense.

I opened a sealed hatch and let Xiao Guolin and Cao Mingzhe go in first, and I was the last one to go in and sit in the third seat on the outside. That way, if I need to close the hatch urgently, I'm always younger than them and faster.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief and could at least rest for a while. Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the opposite sealed cabin that covered the sandstorm: "Captain Song! ”
