Chapter 35 Thirty-four, dilemma

It's hard to describe the feeling of that kind of fog. Up to now, I haven't seen any kind of fog in that form. What impressed me the most is the gray color, which makes people feel very heavy, but this is fluttering. The fog poured in from the door quickly, at a very even speed, which made people feel that it was calm and unhurried. Because of the light, it was really impossible to see clearly. We turned our heads to help Xiaobing put down the deputy squad leader. When we turned back, the whole preparation room was already pitch black. , all light is blocked by fog. However, the tightly closed valve successfully prevented the mist from spreading again.The quality of these decades-old three-proof facilities is beyond my imagination. Even so, I still subconsciously dare not get too close to this door, and I always feel that the fog will come in through the cracks at any time.

I whispered secretly, thinking in my heart that if I were still outside now, I would not know what I would look like.Could it be the same as the body found in the sinkhole? Chen Luohu on the side asked me to help, and the deputy squad leader carried us to the desk, his head was covered with blood, and the soldier was panting heavily, checking his wounds in a hurry. I asked Xiaobing where did he find the deputy squad leader?He said that just a little distance below, at the water outlet in the middle of the dam, there are cement buffer strips on it to prevent people from falling into it.The deputy squad leader was not as lucky as me. He fell down and didn't stop until he hit the buffer bar, and he passed out.You can go down from this computer room to there, and the little soldier rushed straight down. At that time, the thick fog was almost below his feet. Fortunately, the squad leader was still holding on to the flashlight, and he saw him rushing all the way and carried him up.The mist almost followed, and he didn't even have time to close the door.

We all have experience with emergency medical care, which happens a lot in the wild, especially with falls.At this time, my hands were also very painful, and I could hardly lift them up, but I still endured to help untie the deputy squad leader's clothes. The deputy squad leader had both heartbeat and breathing, but his mind was a little dazed, his whole body was limp, and there was a wound on his head. He probably fainted from the last blow.This is also a big or small thing. I have seen some people fall from a big tree, their heads are covered with blood, but they still climb the tree the next day after wrapping it up. I have also seen people crack pecans , Hit the head with a rock the size of a fist and kill him.Others are miracles, and there is no special trauma.

The little soldier looked at Ji Ling, but choked up again when he saw the deputy squad leader like this. I patted him to tell him not to worry, but my hand was in pain. When I picked it up, I was sure that there was no fracture, or that the fracture was not so severe. There was a large piece of swelling in the wrist, and the pain was severe. It may be a severe sprained joint.This place is not easy to deal with, so I have to endure it. We stopped the bleeding and let him lie down. I asked the little soldier how they got here and how he found the three-proof room. Xiao Bing looked bewildered, and said that he didn't find them, but Yuan Xile brought them here.

He said their raft had been carried by the current until it came up to the edge of the dam.They found a place and climbed up. As soon as they got there, Yuan Xile started running like crazy. He and Chen Luohu chased after him, and they chased them all the way to this place. Didn't move either. I was dumbfounded. The complexity of the building structure inside the dam does not lie in the number of rooms, but in its use being completely different from our usual housing.In fact, the walking habits caused by the building structure in which ordinary people live are useless in special construction occasions. This is also the reason why we do not advocate in-depth exploration when we encounter some abandoned buildings when we are doing exploration.It’s like a chemical factory. If you want to run in it, you may have to stop before you can run a hundred paces, because some places you think are roads are actually not roads at all.The hydropower station is even more different. Its building structure is completely designed to bear pressure and serve the motor. Yuan Xile's ability to walk through such a complicated building and run here can only show one problem: she is very familiar with the structure here. Familiar, she must have been here.

I'm suddenly a little sad, if that's the case, it must have taken her quite a bit of effort to get back to where we met her, the hell we brought her back, and if she hadn't been out of her mind, I'm afraid she would have strangled us. Xiao Bing also told me that this is the second time that this kind of fog has risen. The last time the flood was released first, but it did not float to such a high level.Yuan Xile almost went crazy after hearing the alarm, and wanted to close the door here.He is an engineer, and he has a lot of knowledge about poisonous gas and three defenses. At that time, he also realized that the fog might be poisonous.

I asked him, according to his understanding, what happened to all this? He said that from an engineering point of view, there must be a water level sensor here. After the water level reaches a certain height, the dam will automatically open the gate to release water. Obviously, this device has been operating in this way for more than 20 years. Or it was activated not long ago. And the abyss under the dam is so deep, he guessed that this layer of thick fog was caused by the high-speed falling water and brought up by the upward cross wind.I don't know what the ingredients are. The little soldier's analysis was really reasonable. When we went back and thought about it later, we also felt that this was the only possibility.

I asked him what his name was, and he said that his name was Ma Zaihai, he was a soldier in Yueqing, Wenzhou, and he had been an engineer for three years and had never retired. I said why are you still a soldier, he said that the family background is not good, every time the squad leader raises the file, he is put aside, he has changed four squad leaders, he is still a soldier, the deputy squad leader is from a family just like him Not good, but the deputy squad leader beat an Indian, so he was promoted to a higher level. The two of them stayed in the class all the time, and his first squad leader was promoted to the front row.He said that if I think he is pitiful, I can help him to tell the superiors, and at least I will get a deputy squad leader.

I couldn't help him with this matter, so I just laughed and didn't answer.I said in my heart that depending on the current situation, let's talk about it if I can go back alive. The dense fog continued, and it was pitch black outside the air-locked door, and there was no sign of dissipating after two hours.We hid in this iron cabin, and we could only observe the outside through the hole and window, and we couldn't see clearly what was going on.Fortunately, the closed cabin is relatively quiet, and we can hear the roar of the water flow. The clearest sound here is our breathing and the sound of the entire concrete dam under pressure.

No one knows when the dense fog will recede. We talked at first, but then stayed quietly in the cabin to rest.The deputy squad leader woke up after being in a coma for an hour and a half. His energy was low, but he was still awake, and there seemed to be nothing serious.Ma Zaihai wept with joy, while I breathed a sigh of relief. For a while after that, I started to worry that the room would run out of oxygen, but I soon discovered that there was an old-fashioned ventilation device in the position of the baseboard, which was later seized when I visited a naval base in 1984. I think of the small long window on the skirting line, which is a bit like the ventilation system of the Japanese submarine. Think about it, maybe what I saw at that time was the system dismantled from the scrapped submarine. .This civil air defense fortification was built in the computer room of the dam, which seems to be designed to deal with this special geological phenomenon.

At that time, there was no one who could discuss things with me, so I could only wonder what happened here by myself. Obviously Yuan Xile is so familiar with this place, the exploration team she belongs to must have stayed here for a long time, I don't know what happened to them here, obviously what they met we will meet soon, now what I know What they knew was that Yuan Xile was delirious, and that another member of their exploration team died of severe poisoning on the way. It is certain that what happened here would not be too pleasant. Where are the others?According to what Ma Zaihai said, Yuan Xile was so terrified of this fog, could it be that other people had already died?Another key question, what did the Japanese think back then? These things are all clueless. The huge "deep mountain" bomber flashed in my mind, and the huge abyss and ghostly fog flashed again and again, and I had a splitting headache.It seems that there are only a few clues for all the clues, and repeated thinking can't get any inspiration. After thinking about it for nearly three hours, the fog still hasn't dissipated. I feel inexplicable pain, and then I think of Wang Sichuan, whose life and death are unknown. Where are the old cats and the others now?How should we go back, questions like this one after another, I fell asleep in a daze in the anxiety. At that time, I didn't think that this was my last sleep in this cave. After this short rest of nightmares, it was the beginning of the real nightmare. After waking up, I tried to communicate with Yuan Xile again, but soon failed.The poor woman's fear seemed to have reached the extreme, and she couldn't hear a single sound. As long as I talked to her, she would curl up even tighter, and her head could not help avoiding my sight. I had no choice but to give up, and began to discuss the route and method of leaving with the deputy squad leader. Fortunately, Ma Zaihai said that the raft they came with should still be there. If the current is not so turbulent, we can row back against the current.But now I don't know whether to follow this huge underground river upstream, or look for the sinkhole where we fell, and return to the place where we separated from the old cat. The most sensible route is Yuan Xile's route, but I don't know how she took it?If she is still sober, she can take us a ride. The deputy squad leader said that it would be great if we could find a map or a map. There must be such a thing here. If we can find it, we can know how the Japanese planned it back then, so that we can find the shortest and safest road. Many of the facilities here have been decayed, and it would be unrealistic to forcefully go back. I also nodded, and said in my heart that it was true, these engineering workers can know a lot of things just by looking at the blueprints, but the blueprints must have been completely destroyed when they evacuated. Several people discussed and discussed there, and my brain gradually became clear. I was relaxed at the time, because no matter how I say it, now we are returning, we know what the destination is, and we also have choices, we can choose our own route.No matter when, it is always happy to have a choice.This is the motto I came up with later. It's just that none of us realized at the time that the most critical problem was not on our way home, but right in front of our eyes. Ten hours later, we probably finalized the plan, and counted the remaining food and fuel. When we checked the hole window again, we found that it was still pitch black. At this moment, I suddenly thought of the key question: How long will this fog stay outside?God?One day, or one month? Before I raised it, no one thought of this problem. The fog in everyone's mind always dissipates quickly. After I raised it, we didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. We were just a little panicked. I hope my thoughts will not become a reality.Ma Zaihai told me that although the fog did not come up last time, it receded relatively quickly. He estimated that the fog would definitely dissipate in a few hours, or the cross wind would blow it away. I also took it for granted, because in such a situation, it is better to find a reason to reassure myself than to comfort myself. We all forgot the judgment we just made. This ghostly fog was washed up by the torrent Yes, the falling water has not stopped at all now, the fog must be rolling up non-stop, how can there be time to disperse. So soon, Ma Zaihai's argument began to be untenable. We waited quietly for another five or six hours in anxiety, but the fog still filled the outside of our cabin, showing no signs of dissipating. At this time, the panic that seemed to exist before gradually became a reality.We began to have to admit such a proposition: this thick fog may not dissipate in a short time. For us at the time, it was quite painful to admit such a proposition, which meant that our evacuation plan was delayed indefinitely, but I also knew that if we waited at this time, we would bury our heads in the sand ostrich. At this time, we summed up again, the rhetoric and plans that were so energetic more than ten hours ago now seem like a joke, and this situation is quite embarrassing. The deputy squad leader and Ma Zaihai asked me whether we should be patient, and now I wonder if this is self-disruption?I told Ma Zaihai and the others that we have to face the reality. It seems that as long as the sluice gates are not closed, the fog will only get thicker and it is impossible to dissipate.In that case, we must take measures: on the one hand, we must distribute rations and water, and try to delay the survival time as much as possible, hoping to wait until the fog clears; on the other hand, we must actively think of ways.Especially the first measure, even if the fog may dissipate in an hour, we have to be prepared for it to dissipate in a month. After I said this, Ma Zaihai's face became very ugly. He told us, actually, the ration problem is okay. The few parcels they brought contained enough compressed biscuits and vegetables, because they were in a hurry Saved us, so a lot of equipment was discarded, only food was brought over, the main problem was water, he and Chen settled down, the two of them only had two water bottles, one of which was not full yet. After I heard this, my heart sank, and my throat suddenly felt thirsty.At that time, when I was marching in the first part of the cave, I also thought about drinking urine when there was really no water, and I suddenly felt blocked, thinking that I was really fucking careless at that time.Now is the retribution of this world. At that time, our trouser legs were already dry, otherwise we could still wring out water. My mind turned quickly, but it was useless, and I soon despaired. In my memory, there are not many experiences of being trapped in the same way. The most dangerous time was in eastern Sichuan in 1959. At that time, I started working. The local geological bureau organized a cave exploration. We were trapped by rising water. I spent three days and two nights in an air cave. Fortunately, the water receded in the end. However, there were more than a dozen of us at that time, and we had enough dry food and water. What we lacked most was experience, so there were a lot of crying noses. Now it’s better. , Experienced, no water, this is much worse than crying. At this time, Ma Zaihai said that if we want to stay in this airtight cabin until the fog recedes, we may have to be very lucky. If we can reach other places, there may be a turnaround, for example, we can find old water pipes or steam pipes. Maybe there's water in it?Do you want to try it? I thought to myself, where is there such a pipeline here? I saw him squatting down, pointing to the air vent on the kick part, and said that the air vent here is connected to the air filter device. This is the technology used by the Germans during World War II. The Soviet Union has learned it, and most of our current underground fortifications are improvements of this kind of device, and there may be water pipes in it. I seem to have seen a glimmer of life, but the narrow opening of the tunnel can only fit a head in, how can a person get in? Ma Zaihai said that he was small, so there shouldn't be a big problem, so he got down on the ground, first removed the anti-rat net, and then tested whether he could get in. I also lay down on my stomach, and I knew it was impossible at first glance. The size of the hole was already wider than Ma Zaihai's shoulders.And this vent, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to pass through anyone. Ma Zaihai made a lot of ridiculous moves, but he could only poke his head sideways, and his body couldn't get in at all. In the end, he sprained his neck and had to back out. For the others, Chen Luohu has a big head, I am a big man, and the deputy squad leader has a head injury, not to mention Yuan Xile, this proposal is considered in vain. I sat on the ground in frustration, and none of them spoke. Chen Luohu on one side even had a brain problem and hugged his water bottle in his arms, as if he was afraid that we would snatch it. I didn't care about him, and my mind went blank. At this moment, there was a sudden "snap", and something worse happened. The emergency light in the airtight cabin suddenly went out, and we immediately smelled a burning smell. Apparently the wires had finally aged and blown.
