Chapter Eighty-Five: Straight Forward

Then I heard Platoon Commander Zhao say, "Can you say something else, such as sand, bricks, or something, as long as you don't talk about food." ”

I despised this foodie in my heart, and said to squad leader Liu: "You say specific? There's no way I'm going to change my plans just because of your words. ”

"Yes." I felt Team Leader Liu's arm dancing rapidly in front of me, "Here, and here, these points should not exist according to your assumptions." And here, here......"

"You wait." I said as I drew my torch.

I can't understand where he's talking. I just explained my thinking and plan to Platoon Commander Zhao based on the tragic picture that I still have in my mind. But in this environment that is darker than the night, squad leader Liu just used words to explain here and there, I don't want to say to follow his train of thought, I don't know where he is talking about this map. If I want to communicate with him, I have to light a torch and overlap the map in my head with the map he conceived in front of me, otherwise it will only be a conversation between the deaf and the blind.

As soon as the fire lit up, squad leader Liu just blocked the dazzling light with his hand, and quickly got used to it. Then he used his right hand to quickly point in the void in front of him, and said at the same time in his mouth: "This is the A1, A2, A3 you set...... Here, here and here, you missed three coordinates, these three points should be within the scope of your thinking, and here and here, should not appear. Corresponding to point B, you also have a problem with your calculations. ”

At this point, my train of thought can't keep up with his rhythm. I had to give up for the time being by smoothing out the positions of the A points he pointed out, and instead follow his train of thought to find the corresponding B points. However, I have to admit that the gap between us in spatial imagination is still quite large. Soon I couldn't keep up with his train of thought, and the map I had just rebuilt collapsed as he waved his fingers like a conductor. From the few places he pointed out, I did see that I had made a mistake, but I could only see two, and when I talked about the others, my brain froze.

Team leader Liu's spatial imagination is easy to use in the face of complex three-dimensional honeycomb structures, and it is simply easy to come in front of this flat map. The more I listened to it, the more confused I became, and I kind of understood Platoon Commander Zhao's feelings when he faced me and explained my thinking to him. My frustration grew so bad that I didn't have the courage to continue listening.

I interrupted squad leader Liu and said to him, "You can directly tell me the results of your derivation." We don't have time to dwell on the derivation process right now. ”

"Okay." Squad leader Liu was quite dissatisfied with being interrupted by me. "Based on the errors and omissions in point A you set earlier, the overall derivation result is one block different from the result I deduced."

As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly to the left and drew a line on the virtual map in front of him that only he could see.

One square difference here is too much difference for the target location, but I really don't have the ability to create a virtual map, let alone make a detailed planning calculation on it. And even time doesn't allow us to procrastinate here. However, the general direction of our calculations is still the same.

I thought for a moment and said to him, "Are you sure?" ”

Squad Leader Liu fiddled with one hand in front of him for a moment and said, "I'm sure." ”

I took a deep breath, pointed in one direction and said, "This direction, straight ahead." ”

Platoon Commander Zhao looked at me and asked, "There is no road ahead, how can it be possible to move in a straight line here?" ”

Yes, I pointed to the wall of the cave between the two passages. I patted Platoon Commander Zhao and said, "Zigzag straight ahead." ”

Platoon Commander Zhao understood this sentence, I think this is the first time he has understood it so quickly, and we have ideas from the space map.

Platoon Commander Zhao looked very excited and nodded solemnly, "I understand." ”

I stepped on the torch and said, "Let's go." ”

The order of the team is still Platoon Leader Zhao at the beginning, and I am at the end, sandwiching Squad Leader Liu in the middle. The direction of progress has been determined, as long as you turn left and right at the fork in order, the general direction should be a straight line. Although Platoon Leader Zhao's spatial imagination is weak, his execution of orders is absolutely reassuring, and I am worried that Team Leader Liu will be angry. Although this thing was bluffed by me, but his logic that resembles a neurotic really reassures me, in case of an emergency, I am worried that Platoon Commander Zhao will not be able to abolish him, I can do this, I am already determined not to let him run away again.

Our speed is not fast, and for the purpose of saving physical strength, I did not ask Platoon Commander Zhao to increase his speed. When I arrived at the junction, I lit a torch and made a simple mark. There is no need to leave complicated marks, we can't determine where our road will eventually lead, and returning to the area that was first discovered is just a concept, and my thinking is inherently accidental, and I can't draw an accurate line.

No clues were found at this fork in the road, which was to be expected. In fact, we are numb to this, unlike at the beginning, when we arrived at a junction with hope and looking for a mark. It's just a kind of inertia to do it now. After seven forks in the road, the enthusiasm for survival gradually cooled, and the exhaustion made it impossible for us to persevere, so we decided to take a break. I didn't choose a resting place on a fork in the road, although it is relatively reasonable to rest at a fork in the road, because resting at a three-way intersection is more likely to meet Xiao Guolin than on a straight road. But in the state of squad leader Liu, the fork in the road can easily cause him to get angry.

I ate a little, but squad leader Liu still refused to eat, as long as I went over to the kettle and drank two sips of water. He also encouraged me to eat more with Platoon Leader Zhao. It seems that psychotic mind is still dominating him. He probably won't last long if he goes on like this, but it doesn't matter, none of us can last long with the current diet.

The temperature in the tunnel was at least fifteen degrees Celsius, much warmer than outside, and with some food in the stomach, drowsiness immediately hit like a tide. The three of us leaned side by side against the wall of the cave, eating boring fish and talking with each other. It's just small talk, there is no discussion about the direction below, we have already decided before we set off, and if we don't find the area we originally explored, we don't adjust the direction of travel. Just follow this straight line and keep going. We don't have time to grope around, although it is gambling, but it will eventually come to an end, of course, our physical strength allows.

The drowsiness was getting stronger, and I could barely hear anyone else's speech. I was still thinking in my head that I should keep someone awake and be unconscious the next moment.

I'm so tired.

PS: School, the first day of work, I hope you have a good mood.
