The vast Gobi Desert extends to the distant horizon.
Where it meets the sky, towering peaks tower into the sky.
Li Aiguo really wanted to compose a poem to praise this magnificent river and mountain.
only
At this time, the sun is rising high, and the Gobi Desert seems to be shrouded in a steamer.
Fiercely absorbing the last trace of moisture from a person's body.
In just a few hours, everyone's lips began to become dry and cracked.
My throat seemed to be blocked and I couldn't speak.
Li Aiguo unscrewed the lid of the military kettle and raised the bottle to his mouth.
The cool water slid down his throat, and his body suddenly felt refreshed.
"It seems that I was a little rushed on the train just now. I should bring more water."
Li Aiguo looked at the three kettles next to him and muttered softly.
Five hours have passed since I jumped off the train.
The comrades in charge of rescue had not yet arrived, so a few people could only stand by the railway track and suffer.
The weather in the Gobi Desert is sweltering.
Li Aiguo and Lao Mao were fine. They were able to replenish a little water and occasionally stand up and move around.
Zong Kuian, Pang Pingfu and Liu Chunjing were tied up tightly.
Lying on the ground unable to move, I soon became unbearable.
Zong Kui'an struggled to sit up and looked at the old cat: "Have you ever thought about it, if your so-called rescue doesn't come, wouldn't we have to wait here to die?"
"I trust my comrades. I'm not like you, who consider betraying your brothers a common occurrence." Old Mao took a deep breath from his cigarette and slowly exhaled it.
Zong Kuian: "."
He did betray his own people a lot back then.
Zong Kuian rolled his eyes.
I saw Li Aiguo playing with weeds beside the railway track, with the kettle beside him.
This person is the youngest.
Maybe we can find a breakthrough from him.
Zong Kui'an struggled and moved towards Li Aiguo.
Lao Hei and the others heard the noise and drew their pistols, but were restrained by Lao Mao.
The current location is deep in the Gobi Desert. Even if Zong Kuian is let go, he will not escape.
Zong Kui came to Li Aiguo's side, licked his face and smiled: "Little comrade, can you let me drink some water?"
"No, this water is only enough for a few of us to drink." Li Aiguo held the kettle in his arms, looking wary.
Zong Kuian said calmly: "If we die of thirst, you will definitely not be able to complete your mission, right?"
"Death of thirst? How can you die of thirst!" Li Aiguo stood up and pointed at Pang Pingfu and Liu Chunjing,
"You are also experienced. You should know that human urine is drinkable when there is a lack of water."
"You drink Liu Chunjing's drink, Liu Chunjing drinks Pang Pingfu's drink, and Pang Pingfu drinks yours. The three of you can form a perfect closed loop over and over again. You will definitely be able to survive."
Zong Kuian:
Pang Pingfu:
Liu Chunjing:
Looking at Li Aiguo who was confident and confident.
Zong Kuian felt that provoking him was a mistake.
Old Cat and the others burst into laughter.
Don't tell me.
Li Aiguo's idea sounds ridiculous, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed feasible.
certainly.
The investigation team will not let Zong Kuian and the others die of thirst.
Especially Zong Kuian, he is the deputy webmaster and has many names.
The reason why they were not allowed to drink water was because rescue was about to arrive.
A lizard lying on the rail suddenly raised its cute little head warily, glanced into the distance, then jumped down and ran into the bushes with its hands behind its back.
The rails suddenly shook,
Woo hoo hoo. Eat like crazy, eat like crazy, eat like crazy
A train rushed over from a distance, pouring black smoke.
The speed of the train became slower and slower, and finally it clicked, like a long green dragon, and stopped steadily in front of everyone.
Li Aiguo looked at the train and squinted his eyes slightly.
The train was a freight train, with a dozen carriages hanging behind it.
The cargo should be agricultural and sideline products such as black melon seeds, bitter almonds, wool, cashmere, bristle tails, and casings.
These were the main goods transported externally from the border areas in this era.
It seems that Zong Kui'an is more important than he thought.
In order to take him away as soon as possible, the superiors temporarily dispatched a freight train.
Puff, there was a burst of white smoke coming from next to the train.
The driver wearing a fuel tank suit jumped out of the driver's building.
He ran up to a few people and saluted: "Who is Comrade Lao Mao?"
"That's me." The old cat stood up.
The driver saluted again: "I'm here to pick you up. Come get in the car with me."
The driver had obviously received the warning from above.
Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say, just pick up people.
Since the driver's cabin was relatively small, Lao Mao and Li Aiguo found a relatively empty carriage.
There was half a box of gunny bags in the carriage. Lao Dao used a knife to cut open the mouth of the gunny bags and found black melon seeds inside.
The seeds are all plump and look like they should be foreign trade goods.
"Come on, guys, don't be polite.
Lao Dao pulled the sack out and gave each person a large handful.
This kind of large-volume goods will be loaded with more when loading to avoid loss on the road.
Therefore, a few kilograms of black melon seeds are nothing.
After cracking half a catty of melon seeds and listening to the sound of wheels hitting the rails, Li Aiguo fell into sleep.
When I woke up again, the train had stopped at a small station.
Got off the train.
Zong Kuian, Pang Pingfu, and Liu Chunjing were immediately taken away by a group of comrades in gray uniforms.
Lao Dao also left with them.
Lao Mao was originally planning to follow. After answering the phone at the station, he took Li Weidong, Lao Hei and Yanzi into another truck.
"Let's go back to the camp. Professor Zheng is awake."
Professor Zheng is another important figure in this case.
First, he may have clues to the new oil field.
Secondly, he is suspected of leaking secrets.
Professor Zheng's identity and status determine that once he takes the initiative to leak secrets, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Lao Mao asked the comrades at the station to find some quilts and lay them on the truck.
"Go to sleep quickly, tomorrow will definitely be a tough battle."
Li Aiguo curled up in bed and fell asleep in a daze amidst the roar of the engine.
After a bumpy ride on the truck, we returned to the campsite. It was already dawn.
The roar of the truck alarmed people in the camp.
Just when Li Aiguo and the others were busy catching Liu Chunjing.
The rescue team and railway corps comrades withdrew more than half of the area.
There are only a few comrades left behind to cooperate with the investigation team.
Zhang Gong also left, and the one left behind was Captain Cai Fangshun of the Railway Corps.
"Lao Cai, how is the situation?"
Li Aiguo was now familiar with Cai Fangshun, so he took out a cigarette and handed him one.
"Professor Zheng woke up last night. After getting the news, old man, I followed your instructions and immediately sealed the camp. Whether it was medicine or food, I brought it in with my own hands, ensuring that there would be no loopholes." Cai Fangshun He said patting his chest.
"Well done!"
The old cat couldn't help but admire it.
"Of course, old man, I was praised by the chief back then. How can this little thing defeat me?" Cai Fangshun straightened his chest and looked proud.
Cai Fangshun's file does contain many meritorious services, but does it have nothing to do with the chief?
Li Aiguo said in surprise: "Old Cai, why does the chief praise you?"
Cai Fangshun blushed and hesitated: "The chief thinks my quilt is folded well."
Li Aiguo: "."
All right.
In this era, railway soldiers were all masters at folding quilts.
It is also a skill to stand out from tens of thousands of railway soldiers and receive praise from the chief.
While talking, several people came to the door of the camp.
Cai Fangshun took the initiative to stop and take charge of the security work.
