Chapter 17: The Return
Immediately after, Team Zhou jumped up, stared wide and counted people.
There are only eleven people in our archaeological team, and one less person is very conspicuous, and there is no need to look closely at all. I was the one who Team Zhou was most worried about going wrong, so he asked Team Xiao to retreat with me alone. Everyone else has experience in desert archaeology, and Song Guilong is the one who participated in this project since it was established, and no one would have thought that he would be in a situation. Of course, this also has to do with the chaotic scene during the evacuation.
Some time ago, Captain Zhou had been arguing with the command over the fate of the pit where the site was discovered. It can be said that I have exhausted my scheming and physical strength. Today's unexpected situation hit this old man even harder. He sat back in his chair with obvious physical exhaustion, and after a pause, he said, "Look for it immediately, and be sure to find Team Song in the shortest possible time." ”
As soon as we heard this, we immediately ran out.
"Come back." Before we could get out of the bunker, Team Zhou shouted from behind, "Don't go out." Team Xiao, you go to the headquarters to report this matter, Xiao Cao, and you, you, you. "Team Zhou pointed to a few people" and "went to the transportation team, the material expert group, the engineering company, and the communications company to report the incident and asked them to assist in finding people." Others don't go out. ”
Xiao Guolin and the others then ran out of the bunker and ran in different directions with a clear goal. Captain Zhou took off the telephone on the wall and kept dialing out the phone, asking if there was any news of Song Guilong in various departments.
I could see Captain Zhou's concern. But if you can't enter the bunker before the sandstorm comes, the consequences will be devastating, even I, a desert archaeology expert, know this, and Song Guilong understands the stakes even better. So I don't believe that Team Song didn't get to Bunker No. 1, I think it's more likely that he was mixed in another convoy, maybe still on the way, or even arrived, but just entered another yurt.
At that time, I was quite optimistic. This is also based on the fact that I was not in the Zhou team, so I couldn't understand his mood at that time and the responsibility on his shoulders. However, Song Guilong's position in this archaeological team, and even in the entire desert archaeological system in China at that time, was extremely important. He is the second person in this archaeological team after Captain Zhou, and he is the director of the XB Museum, and when it comes to desert archaeology, he should have the deepest qualifications. Therefore, when the news that Song Guilong did not arrive at the bunker was reported to the headquarters, the first head of the headquarters personally inquired about the matter.
When this matter was raised to the level, the news was summarized as quickly as possible, and one thing that was certain was that there was no Song Guilong among the personnel who had reached the No. 1 bunker.
At that point, all personnel had already left the project site, and most of them had already arrived at Bunker 1, with all hopes focused on the few vehicles that followed. Rather than simply waiting, the command kept in touch with the convoy on the road via walkie-talkie. Although it is not possible to have walkie-talkies on every vehicle, every team will be equipped with them, which is the discipline of the team, so the command can contact every team.
The convoy on the road to find and verify whether there are any archaeological team members in the convoy is an order that is strictly carried out in a chaotic environment, and the speed will not be fast. However, the characteristics of the strict execution of orders by the soldiers are manifested at this moment, and as long as the messages are replied to back, the report is undoubted, and the number of personnel, names, and attribution are all omitted. If there is anything that these reports have in common, there is only one point, Song Guilong was not found.
This is unacceptable news to all parties. The command immediately ordered a car from the guard company at the back of all the convoys to turn around on the spot and go back to look for Song Guilong. and gave a death order, be sure to find Song Guilong.
This news was also a huge blow to Captain Zhou. Because the leaders of all sides are concentrated in our bunker, this has also become a temporary headquarters. At this moment, an engineer soldier was brought into our bunker, and the commander of the engineering company who was traveling with him saluted and said, "He saw Captain Song before evacuating." ”
This sentence immediately made the people in the bunker excited. It only then did I realize that I didn't see Song Guilong at lunch today.
Seeing that all the leaders were present, this soldier looked a little nervous, but he still told the process of meeting Song Guilong.
He saw Song Guilong after the alarm sounded, and Song Guilong looked ready to evacuate, carrying a backpack and wearing goggles as he hurried past him. However, the direction of Song Guilong's march was the excavation site, and the soldier reminded Song Guilong out of doubt. Song Guilong's answer at that time was: I'll go get something and come back immediately. You go to the company first to assemble and evacuate quickly.
The warrior's words illustrate two things. First, Song Guilong is ready to evacuate. The second is that he knew very well what he was doing at the time. Then he didn't leave with the team in the end, and it was possible that he had an accident when he was taking something.
When the head of the unit asked the soldier exactly where he met Song Guilong and which one Song Guilong was heading towards, there was an error in the description and understanding, and it was difficult for the two sides to determine the position in a short time. This is not surprising, the project construction site is huge, at present, due to hardening construction, the site is chaotic, he can not tell Song Guilong under the first few and the first few hoisting equipment pillars, and Song Guilong walked from which hoisting foundation pillar.
The No. 1 commander did not dwell on this issue, raised his head and said to the commander of the engineering corps: "I order you to lead this soldier and return to the construction site immediately to find Song Guilong." The soldiers of the guard company who returned to the construction site in front are under your command and must bring Song Guilong back. ”
I was very sensitive that there was no word alive in his words, but he just ordered Song Guilong to be brought back, maybe I thought too much. But I still couldn't help but say, "I'll go with me, I'm familiar with the place, and it's helpful to search." ”
"The archaeological team has to send someone." This time, Captain Zhou spoke: "We can't leave Team Song there alone. Xiao Zhang has been getting close to Team Song recently, and it will be helpful to go. Cao Mingzhe also go with him, you two are representatives of the museum, and you are more familiar with him. ”
"Then I'll go too." Xiao Guolin stood up and said: "This activity made us JD take the lead, and we lost the people in the museum, and we can't explain it when we go back." ”
The main thing was that the time did not allow for arguments, and the head of the command quickly agreed to the request of the archaeological team, and at the same time added an engineer corps. This is an old acquaintance, the Liu squad leader who loves to perform. Not to mention other aspects, to the extent that he is serious and responsible, Team Leader Liu is definitely worthy of my trust.
Engineer Company Commander Li personally drove the car, and the solid Pajero off-road vehicle roared out of the No. 1 bunker.
I didn't feel any apprehension because of the bumps in the car, and I firmly believe that Song Guilong can be recovered. That's exactly what I thought at the time.
