Chapter 30: The Search

The most dangerous thing right now is the wounded in my sealed cabin. According to the examination of the health guard, the soldier was originally injured, and it was a fracture of the upper arm. The injury to his arm prevented him from making the initial protective maneuvers in distress. At present, through examination, the preliminary judgment is that the thoracic rib fracture is inserted into the lungs, resulting in pneumothorax and hemothorax, and the condition is very serious, and the diversion tube needs to be inserted as soon as possible. In addition, his inflammation is equally severe, and the current anti-inflammatory drugs should focus on him.

Company Commander Li died, and Platoon Commander Zhao became the supreme commander here. He immediately got together with Team Xiao and Team Liu and had a meeting.

I sat against the brick wall, physically and mentally exhausted, and I fell asleep in a daze. In my sleep, I saw Song Guilong running in a black hole passage with a micro chong, and a headless person behind him was chasing quickly. Song Guilong couldn't outrun him, so he turned around and took a gun to shoot, and the bullet hit the headless man with a "poof" sound, the flesh turned out, and the intestines flowed out of the bullet hole. But the headless man cried out as if nothing happened, "Fool, I'm dead, can you kill me again?" It was Company Commander Li's voice.

At this time, Song Guilong found me, turned the gun and shot at me, I ran desperately, the dark passage had no end, and I could only hear my own heavy breathing and heavy footsteps.

Suddenly, the person chasing me behind me became the headless Company Commander Li, as if I had become the target of everyone's pursuit. Company Commander Li shouted while chasing back: "I just said that you are an uncertain factor, kill you, and everything is under my control." ”

As soon as I heard it, this was some bullshit logic. But Company Commander Li's speed became faster and faster, not like a human at all, and his hands quickly grabbed my neck.

I woke up from a nightmare covered in sweat, and in front of me was Xiao Guolin's face, and he shook me from the nightmare. "You're having nightmares." Xiao Guolin said.

I wiped my sweat, and the smell of blood evaporated again with the sweat. I endured the unbearable nausea and asked him, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"It's not long, more than an hour." He looked at his watch and said, "We're going to move." ”

"What's wrong?" Although I had just woken up from the nightmare, I immediately realized that something had happened.

"We're going to find out where Song Guilong ran from there, so that we can be prepared. It's still an ancient ruin, and we're going to join the search team, so you're fine. Xiao Guolin's tone was a little nervous.

This underground drainage canal is a straight passage from the known range, and Song Guilong can only leave from both ends. The archaeological team cooperated with the soldiers to search for Song Guilong, and they had to separate at least two people to search at both ends. Cao Mingzhe's condition is obviously not suitable for the mission, so Xiao Guolin and I can only participate in the search, in fact, whether I want to go or not, as long as I can go, I must go, Xiao Guolin's concerns are a bit redundant.

"I'm fine, when are you leaving?"

Xiao Guolin saw that I was so refreshed, and my spirit had recovered in such a short time, and he seemed very happy, "Platoon Commander Zhao is assigning guns and tasks, set off immediately, you choose a side, which side do you search?" ”

Without hesitation, I pointed "this side" in the direction of the area in which we operated. I really don't want to go through the transition pod, even if the blood has been wiped dry.

Xiao Guolin nodded, patted me and said, "Get ready." He walked to Platoon Commander Zhao's side, and it seemed that there was still specific work to discuss.

I didn't have time to take a closer look at the current environment until now. This passage that Xiao Guolin and I characterized as a drainage canal has a width of two meters seven to two meters eight, a height of less than two meters and a half, and a vault. The sturdy blue brick walls, with only a thin oxide layer on the surface, are both good news and puzzled.

Oxygen forms an oxide layer, which is good news. However, the thickness of the oxide layer is wrong.

In the early stages of archaeology, we use our experience to date artifacts or sites. It is not necessarily accurate, it is completely based on the experience of each person, and some people can do it very closely, very close to the historical truth. My strength is that I have a lot of running places and a lot of experience. Judging by the thickness of the oxide layer of the brick wall, this drainage canal is by no means as old as the ground ruins, or even a long time later, at least more than a thousand years. However, the shape of these two green bricks is exactly the same, and in such a long time, the building bricks have not changed in the slightest, which does not conform to the law of historical development. In my judgment, this is impossible.

The stone slabs on the floor of the drainage canal were also quarried from the same place as the stone slabs on the surface site, which can be seen from the texture of the stone. Judging from the traces of water erosion, this drainage canal once had a very huge role and was very used. The slate should be very thick, laid very tightly and strongly, and the weight of the rescue cabin was smashed down, but it did not shatter the slate.

I can't even imagine what kind of force it is to insert the rescue pod into this passage. The diameter of the rescue chamber is larger than this passage, and the brick walls are somewhat deformed at the place where the rescue chamber is in contact with the passage, and a large number of brick debris is sprayed around the rescue chamber. The first pungent smell I smelled was from the brick powder. At present, the rescue chamber is like a gate embedded in the passage, and closing the transition hatch disconnects the passage from here.

At this time, a soldier came to me, saluted and said, "Professor Zhang, my name is Xu Xinming, follow you." “

I'm very excited, I've been a lecturer for so many years, and it's really useful to hear someone call me a professor. My vanity nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's go." “

I walked in front with a faint flashlight like a flower child, and the little soldier followed me closely with a gun in both hands. Not far after I walked out, I looked back and saw that it was pitch black behind me, and I couldn't help but tighten the cloth on my body.

Although the channel is not wide, the flashlight is too weak to shine on both sides at the same time. The passage of the drainage network cannot be just a straight one, it must be connected to other channels, and if we miss the fork, we may get lost in it. I didn't dare to take this risk, so I hurriedly called the little soldier over, and the two of them walked side by side, and connected us with a rope, and each of us walked by touching the wall with his hand against the wall, so that he would not miss any forks in the road.

My method works very well, but it can't be fast, but it's acceptable compared to getting lost.

The bluestone floor is very clean, and there is no too thick dust, but you can see it by hitting the flashlight, and there are no obvious footprints. In addition to searching for clues about Song Guilong, we also have the task of finding out this section of the passage, so after basically confirming that Song Guilong did not run away from this side, we still groped forward.

That's when I had new doubts.
