Chapter 19: It's Dark
Everyone else was busy treating the wounded, and it wasn't until all the people in the car were dragged out and several fighters worked together to turn the overturned SUV over, that they noticed the three of us standing in the middle of the road.
Everyone's faces changed after a moment, and I saw an apocalyptic look of despair. I couldn't help but get nervous, grabbed Xiao Guolin's shoulders and tried to shake him awake. "What the hell is going on, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with them!" I'm scared when my voice is loud.
"The Black Sandstorm is faster than us, and we can't go back." Xiao Guolin did not resist my shaking of him.
I jerked my head to look at the horizon, yes, the low black wall was getting taller, but it was still very far away. I think I can run through it with my feet. So I said, "It's still far away." ”
"Sometimes you can't believe your eyes, it can be an accomplice to the Black Sandstorm." Xiao Guolin grabbed my hand, and at this moment, I felt a kind of comfort from my seniors. "When the wind arrives, then it arrives. Even if it's just a trace, even if it looks like it's still on the horizon. ”
This silence didn't last long, and Company Commander Li shouted: "Turn around and go back." With that, everyone jumped into the off-road vehicle and rushed towards the camouflage net. Even a few wounded with bleeding heads appeared to be extremely flexible.
As soon as the car entered the camouflage net, I noticed that something was wrong. The camouflage net was shaking violently, not being blown to one side by the wind, but shaking disorderly, as if the wind was blowing from all directions. It is like an invisible hand between heaven and earth, tearing it at random.
No one but me paid attention to the unusual shaking of the camouflage net, and all the fighters stood in a horizontal line as soon as they got out of the car. Company Commander Li directly named four wounded, two seriously wounded, and two lightly wounded, and told them to bandage their wounds on the spot. Then he ordered: "Squad Leader Liu, lead the two guards company soldiers to lift the last escape pod out of the original exploration pit." Lifted into the 11th probe. The others immediately moved in the direction of Probe 11. ”
I immediately understood what Company Commander Li said, this is to enter the escape pod to take refuge.
After the exploration that I presided over the excavation became the exploration method jointly developed by all the archaeological team members. The rescue cabin in the construction exploration was hoisted up and sent to the base camp for maintenance. The only rescue pod still in service is in the excavation pit where the site was excavated. The No. 11 probe is the latest to start construction and the shallowest excavation depth, and the rescue capsule is placed in this probe, which is not only convenient for fixation, but also has no danger of being buried by a collapse. To be able to make this correct decision in a very short period of time, I have to admire Company Commander Li's meticulous thinking.
Naturally, the three members of our archaeological team did not line up with the soldiers, but stood behind Company Commander Li. After Company Commander Li gave this order, I noticed that a soldier of the guard company had an unusually ugly face.
Sure enough, the soldier suddenly said: "Report to the company commander, the power generation vehicle and the central control vehicle have been evacuated." There is currently no electricity supply. ”
This sentence knocked down the man like a boulder. Company Commander Li shouted at the guard company soldier like crazy, "Who ordered the power generation car to drive away?" Why didn't you say it earlier. Do you want to* kill us? ”
A series of unreasonable words and saliva sprayed in the face of the guard company soldier. But this will not help and will not change the current situation.
Our project is self-sufficient in electricity, and a large military power generation vehicle works day and night to provide electricity for the construction and living quarters of this project. The importance of the generator to this project is self-evident, and its existence has become a norm. The failure to take this variable into account was not only a loophole in Company Commander Li's plan, but in fact it was indeed beyond his and everyone's expectations.
This soldier was searching for Song Guilong when he accidentally discovered the evacuation of the power generation vehicle. If he hadn't been there, I don't think anyone would have thought of that. The warrior was clearly aggrieved and angry, but he didn't show it. In this situation, escape is the most pressing issue.
After letting out a roar, Company Commander Li immediately made another decision that surprised us. "Everyone is going to the No. 7 pit, going down the pit, and entering the rescue pod."
It was we who were shocked. The soldiers shouted "yes" in unison, and then orderly advanced towards the No. 7 exploration pit, that is, the exploration pit of the unearthed site. Although I was surprised by this decision, I saw that Xiao Guolin and Cao Mingzhe did not raise objections, so I ran with the team.
Just now, when the car turned around and returned, when Company Commander Li reported the situation to the headquarters, he quarreled with the head of the headquarters on the walkie-talkie. Although the argument was brief, I could tell from the few words that the command did not agree with his decision, preferring to ask him to force his way back to Bunker 1. At that time, Company Commander Li was still driving, and after saying a few words, he angrily threw away the walkie-talkie microphone, but he insisted on his decision.
Now this situation has arisen again, and as soon as he reported the situation to the command, he immediately attracted a scolding from his head and face. Company Commander Li did not roar this time, obviously deeply disturbed by the current situation, and felt that the burden was too heavy. However, he still insisted on his opinion: "We can't run back, we can't now, and we didn't have a chance just now." I can vouch for my personality for this. ”
As if to confirm his words, as soon as his words fell, it suddenly became dark.
This situation has been experienced twice in my life. The first time was in Qingdao, at noon in a summer, one moment the sun was still shining, and the next moment, the sky, like a black curtain was drawn, and the black hand could not see the five fingers. It's like the end of the world and Satan rules the world. Then all the street lights came on, and so did the people in every room. Everyone looked at the sky in amazement, it was the darkest and quietest noon I had ever experienced, as if the whole world was quietly waiting for the final judgment.
As a result, it is not Satan who is waiting, and there is no last judgment. It was the biggest rain I've ever seen, and it looked like the sky was leaking.
This time it was just as dark, but it came more suddenly. It's like the sky is closed. In the blink of an eye, yes, the sky blinked, but it didn't open, so it was dark.
This situation caused even the most experienced desert workers to panic. At this time, a faint light lit up in the team. Xiao Guolin ran to the front of the line with a pen-holder flashlight and shouted: "All wear windproof goggles and follow me." ”
I was very close to Li Lian, and the first thing I heard was a noisy sound coming from his walkie-talkie. It's like the noise we make when we tune up the radio. But the sound was louder, and louder, as if it were going to spread it all over the desert. I even doubt that the sound will eventually explode.
But then the sound made me feel how peaceful and pleasant the noise made by the walkie-talkie.
