Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Signal Smoke

Third Uncle and the others have been lurking behind Aning's team. According to Pan Zi, there should be a distance of one to two days. At this time, according to the plan, their location should be on the outskirts of this basin. They will not enter an oasis immediately, but must wait for the signal from Pan Zi. However, what left us dumbfounded was that the signal smoke that Uncle San responded to us rose from the opposite direction, behind us, from the center of the swamp, which meant that they were already in the swamp now. Pan Zi couldn't believe his eyes: "Fuck, what's going on? Why are they in there?"

I was afraid that it was a misunderstanding, so I immediately picked up the binoculars to look at it, and it was correct. The smoke was definitely not caused by a fire, because the color of the smoke was abnormally red. "Da Pan, it looks like your third master is much faster than you." The fat man murmured. "Impossible. Could it be that the third master and the others went in from another canyon? But, according to the plan, they didn't come this way. They should wait for my signal, and they are too damn fast..." Pan Zi couldn't figure it out . "Could it be that your third master's team was released by that little brother?" the fat man said.

"He didn't bring anything with him last night, so it can't be him." Pan Zi said, "I'm the only one who brought smoke balls, and they're all here." "That's strange. It seems that there was a mistake in the handover between your third master and you." "What does this smoke mean?" I suddenly remembered that color can represent information, so I asked. Pan Zi took the binoculars from my hand, looked in the direction of the smoke, looked at it and thought about it, his face suddenly changed, and he said sternly: "No, something happened to them."

"An accident?" I saw that Pan Zi's face changed, but I didn't know what he meant, so I asked him to explain in detail. The color of other smoke has a simple meaning. Yellow smoke means that the road ahead is dangerous, and you must move forward carefully. Orange smoke means stop and wait for confirmation. Red smoke is more serious, meaning you must not approach, usually in extreme conditions. Dangerous situation, warning latecomers issued.In general activities, red smoke is hardly used. But he was a little hesitant, because after all, they were not doing investigations, and this kind of thing was just a temporary method. Let alone whether he remembered the usage of the cigarette wrongly, maybe the other party did not remember it correctly.

But this is not good news after all, I asked Pan Zi if he could give out another cigarette, and asked what happened. Pan Zi shook his head, paused for a while, and obviously got anxious, and said to me: "No, you stay here, little third master, I have to go over and see if anything happens to third master." I was also worried about the third uncle in my heart, but I knew the seriousness, so I quickly grabbed him, thinking that this is not going to work, the little brother has not come back, if you go to us again, there will only be two people left.Besides, it's too dangerous for you to go in alone.Let's wait until Poker Bottle comes back.

Pan Zi shook his head and said: "Third Master and the others have more than 30 people. They are strong and strong. Normally, they don't emit red smoke. There must be something wrong there. His mother's black blind man is still too young. Little Third Master, you Don't worry, I drilled a lot in this kind of forest when I was in Vietnam, I can go through it, you wait here for the little brother to come back and make plans." Then he packed his equipment.When I saw that I couldn't stop him, I immediately winked at the fat man. Unexpectedly, the fat man immediately packed up the equipment, and I felt dizzy all at once, thinking that the fat man cared about my third uncle.As soon as he was about to speak, the fat man said to me: "Don't look at me, not only Dapan has to go, let me tell you, we also have to go in this time. Our equipment is not enough to go to the Gobi, so we have to fight When you three uncles meet up, you must at least get their things, otherwise, we will die of thirst on the way out of the canyon."

As soon as I thought about it, I felt a little oops in my heart, and my heart said that he was right, and I was a little at a loss.The fat man said again: "It's not impossible for Da Pan to go in alone, but if something happens to him, it will be troublesome for the two of us to go in. Why not go in with the three of us now, advance and retreat together, the chance of success is better Bigger. Otherwise we stay here and just wait to die." "But brother, what should we do?" I asked. "If we leave, he won't be able to find us when he comes back, or I'll wait for you here."

"Then you're not looking for death. You can't give those snakes wheels with your small physique. Come on, after you go in, you need manpower to carry things out. Da Pan and I are definitely not enough. Let's leave a mark and point him in the direction. At that time, at most Light another cigarette as a signal, but," the fat man glanced at the jungle, "I don't think that little brother will come back." Although this matter is very bad, it has become clear. Although I think it is inappropriate, I also know that the fat man is right.After thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.

There were five people when they entered the canyon, but now there are only three left. One died and the other ran away. The original supplies obviously need to be redistributed, but the fat man said that the oil bottle should not be taken away. After wrapping it up, press it down with a big rock, and then use a marker pen to write our whereabouts on the inner layer of the tarpaulin.Next to the package, turn the smokeless stove to the darkest, so that it can be burned for three days, and if Poker Bottle comes back at night, he won't be able to find it. After finishing the work, the supplies on our bodies have been reduced a lot. Pan Zi said that the signal smoke can only be burned for three hours at most. This time, we can’t rest when we go in, so we have to pack as lightly as possible. Anyway, if we want to come back, we will inevitably pass through Here, so don’t bring what you can’t bring.

After that, we went through the equipment and left some heavy things such as gas masks and Luoyang shovels.Then Pan Zi changed some of the heavy things I carried into his backpack. His marching load is professional, and carrying a little more will not affect the speed. Mainly to make sure I can make it to my destination. I was very embarrassed when he said that, and I really wanted to refute that I had developed some muscles in the past six months, but he didn't give me a chance at all, and he just cleaned up by himself after talking, obviously his mind was no longer on my side. It was sorted out immediately, and just about to leave, suddenly the fat man grabbed us again and asked us to look up at the smoke in the distance.
