Although this operation achieved my goal, I still have some confusion about this mission. Because we don't lack water.

Each sealed cabin has a first aid kit with distilled water, compressed food, first aid medicines, medicines. The most lacking thing in the sealed cabin is actually oxygen, and if there is no air conditioning, the food and water in the first-aid cabin can support us to survive for more than ten days.

After getting the morphine, I found Xiao Guolin and asked me about my doubts.

The first thing Xiao Guolin said was: "I know your purpose. “

I didn't dwell on this issue and kept silent. Xiao Guolin sighed helplessly and told me about the current situation.

He first warned me that he and another warrior had spotted Song Guilong's footprints, descending along the passage. In other words, it is very likely that we and Song Guilong are the same purpose, and there is a possibility of meeting. Let me be mentally prepared.

I nodded, this mental preparation had already been made.

Then he told me the reason for looking for water.

The soldier, who had been in a coma, made the decision that he had to be operated on immediately after further examination by the health guards. Removing the pleural effusion is one thing, but also removing the ribs that have been inserted into the lungs. This operation is already a big operation under the current conditions, and I am afraid that all our anti-inflammatory drugs and narcotic drugs will be consumed. Distilled water was used to clean the wound and dispense the infusion, and the distilled water that had been used to sustain our survival had to be cut off and all used to support the operation. Thanks to the distilled water provided by the sealed cabin, it seems that the person who designed the sealed cabin was far-sighted, and distilled water can be used for drinking, medical treatment and other aspects, but ordinary clean water cannot be used for medical treatment, especially in surgery.

The medical corps is a relatively special existence in the army, and their level is uneven, and most of them have a certain medical foundation, and after entering the army, they can be qualified for the work of the medical corps after they have undergone professional training. There are also some medical school graduates who will naturally be assigned to military hospitals after joining the army. Seeing that he was running around with the engineering corps, he didn't look like a doctor in a military hospital, and a health soldier who had to undergo thoracotomy was incredible.

I couldn't help but ask Xiao Guolin: "Is it a bit nonsense to let a health soldier do such a major operation?" How sure is he? ”

Xiao Guolin shook his head: "Platoon Commander Zhao asked him this question. He said that if the operation was not carried out immediately, the wounded would not last more than eight hours. If you have surgery and you decide quickly, he can last at least 10 days. The main problem is not the difficulty of this operation, but the infection caused by the operation, and our sterilization methods are too poor. ”

I was a little surprised: "So sure, he's a military doctor?" ”

"No, he's seen someone else do it." Xiao Guolin shook his head and said.

Depend on. I want to go back and kick him to death.

Seeing that someone else has had this kind of surgery once, he dares to take a knife, is this guy stupid and bold or deeply hidden. Here he is also a professional, I am dissatisfied, I don't trust him, and I have no reason to oppose him. After all, a fighter's life will be lost after eight hours, and any effort is worth trying. I let myself not think about it, I didn't dare to think about it. Fortunately, Platoon Commander Zhao quickly arranged the work here, and our six-person team set off.

When I passed through the transition cabin, under the light, I saw a ** hanging on the chest of squad leader Liu. It seems that his insistent attitude is completely superior to Platoon Commander Zhao, and he not only got the opportunity to participate in the mission, but also got a gun from Platoon Commander Zhao.

And I'm not alone, wearing a robe made from a sleeping bag. Xiao Guolin and Platoon Commander Zhao are also dressed in this way, when they were checking and tidying up Company Commander Li's cabin in the transition cabin, their clothes were also soaked with blood, and they could only use a sleeping bag to change their clothes to wear like me.

The three soldiers in our group all had weapons, Platoon Leader Zhao was a 64-style pistol, and Squad Leader Liu and another soldier each carried a micro-charge. The three of us archaeological team members were empty-handed, and we didn't even have a dog-beating stick.

In addition, there is only half a pot of water and two packets of compressed biscuits per person. Compressed biscuits are the kind that come in large bags and can last for five to ten days, depending on the physical exertion. The most scarce thing is water, and if we can't find water in two days, we have to drink our own urine. Of course, the premise is that there is urine to be discharged.

The two mobile lighting devices were brought out by us, and the penlight was handed over to Xiao Guolin, but the power of the penlight was obviously insufficient, the light was very dim, and it had little effect. Xiao Guolin was reluctant to use it, so he didn't take it out.

Company Commander Li's shoulder-mounted walkie-talkie and the attached flashlight were on Xu Xinming's back. The strap of the walkie-talkie is still red, and it is the blood of Company Commander Li. It is impossible to imagine how the walkie-talkie has been preserved intact.

The walkie-talkie's communication effect in the underground is very poor, and we can't expect it to get in touch with the command, and even after a certain distance, we can't contact the soldiers next to the rescue pod. However, its powerful battery can support this flashlight for a long time. Lighting is essential for us who walk in the dark.

For safety, we were in a dense formation, with three people in a row divided into two rows, which could easily touch the brick walls on both sides. Maybe it's because of the bright lighting, we're moving fast. As I walked in the first row, I could clearly see three rows of descending footprints on the ground. They are Song Guilong, Xiao Guolin, and another warrior. Soon, the footprints of Xiao Guolin and the warriors disappeared, and it seemed that they returned immediately after confirming Song Guilong's whereabouts.

At this time, without the interference of other footprints, I can carefully observe Song Guilong's footprints. The steps are big, not running, but fast. The footprints had been in the middle of the passage, not approaching one of the brick walls.

"He has lighting," I said to Platoon Commander Zhao, who was also walking in the front row.

Platoon Commander Zhao was also observing the footprints on the ground as he walked. "Well, his lighting is so powerful that he can easily see both sides of the passage, otherwise he should have walked along the side of the passage. Also, he had an injury to his right foot. But we've been delayed for too long, and he's left us far behind. ”

Platoon Commander Zhao observed very carefully, and I didn't see any signs of injuries on Song Guilong's feet. Seeing that I was puzzled, Platoon Commander Zhao pointed to the footprints and said, "The stride length of his right foot is smaller than that of his left foot." ”

I took a closer look, and sure enough, it was. However, I have other judgments about Song Guilong not walking along the side of the passage. If he has the same purpose as us, he won't get lost even with the faint light. At present, the direction we are heading is slightly downward, very slight, and it is not visible to the naked eye, but when I walk on it, I can feel it, especially if I have searched backwards, this feeling is clearer. Because even the gentlest downhill is less laborious than the uphill. Therefore, if Song Guilong's purpose is a water source, he doesn't need to discern the direction at all, and if he follows the downward feeling, he will reach the destination. The problem is that he goes on with such a purpose, and he doesn't care if he misses the fork in the road, obviously with the intention of going and not returning, or he knows the way. As soon as these two thoughts came out, it gave me the creeps.
