The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 137 Rescue
The soot inside the cave has dissipated.

The sun can only shine into a distance of more than ten meters.

Going a little deeper, the cave was pitch black.

"Turn on the flashlight."

Following Li Aiguo's order, the two rescue team members turned on the flashlights.

Bright lights dispelled the darkness in the cave.

Arguably.

Members of the rock property team should stay not far from the collapsed area and wait for the rescue team to rescue them.

but.

The rescue team walked along the gravel for a while, but did not find the figure of the rock physical team.

"Wait, I found something!"

Lao Dao waved his fist to signal the players to stop.

Picked up a piece of kraft paper from under a piece of gravel, and handed it to Li Aiguo.

"The kraft paper in Daoxiang Village should be filled with peach-flavored trough cake." Li Aiguo rubbed the kraft paper twice, and brought it up to his nose to smell it.

The rescue team found a noodle bag nearby, and the chow mein inside had been eaten.

There was also a stagnant enamel tank, and several dead AA batteries.

"It appears that the petrophysical team tried to leave the cave, and stayed here for a while."

"Unable to leave the cave and without food, they returned to the cave to look for food."

Li Aiguo waved his hand: "Let's move on."

During the first survey, Professor Liu of the petrophysical team has drawn a map of the cave.

According to the map, there is an underground river more than 50 meters away from the entrance of the cave.

The reason for the underground river is that the rock itself has high permeability. After heavy rain falls on the mountain, the rainwater will seep down through the mountain rock.

At this time, in Alashan, the rainfall is not frequent, and the underground river is relatively shallow, which can only flood the feet.

Li Aiguo and the comrades of the rescue team put on rubber boots by the dark river, put the original safety shoes into the rucksack, and walked carefully into the cave.

The sound of treading water alarmed the small fish in the gap between the rocks, and the small fish scattered away.

Under the light of the flashlight, several fish were even the size of a palm.

Maybe it was this kind of fish that Professor Zheng and Liu Diquan caught in the mountain stream.

This fish has no name and is collectively called kittenfish.

The strange light of the flashlight reflected on the water surface sprinkled on the person's body, casting strange shadows on the dark brown rock wall.

Pair that with slap, slap footsteps.

The atmosphere in the cave was a bit depressing, and everyone was a little nervous.

According to Li Aiguo's analysis based on the cave map, the petrophysical team may be located at the end of the dark river.

There is a place where dark rivers converge, and there is a small lake.

Able to provide drinking water and food.

The channel meanders underground, the length of which is not known, but must be much longer than 2000 meters.

There are many forks in the cave, and the dark forks lead to different directions.

According to Li Aiguo's instructions, the rescue team marched along the underground river.

After walking for nearly an hour, the hole in front suddenly opened up, as if walking out of the throat.

This is the characteristic of structural holes,
The interior of the cave has changed a lot. Sometimes it is just a cave with thick arms, but in the next second, it will become a long and wide square.

As soon as he entered the entrance of the cave, feeling the cold wind in the cave, Li Aiguo suddenly stopped, stretched out his fist and made a gesture.

The rescuers behind all stopped.

The noise disappeared, and the calling sound from a distance gradually became clearer.

"Help, Help"

Li Aiguo's ears trembled twice, and he turned and pointed to the northeast: "There!"

A high-power flashlight shined on it, and by the dark river tens of meters away, a man stood there waving frantically.

Due to the relatively long distance, he couldn't see clearly, but the uniform he was wearing was enough to prove his identity.

"It's a comrade of the Rock Physical Team!"

Lao Dao shouted, and ran over first.

It's just that the ground is full of large and small stones, and if you are not careful, you will tilt your feet.

Li Aiguo could only jump along the rocks like the rescue team.

I was dizzy walking all the way, and I only saw the flashlights of the rescuers in front flickering.

In the end, Lao Dao had been specially trained, just like a kangaroo, he jumped forward quickly between the stones.

When Li Aiguo ran to the position of the figure, Lao Dao had already picked up an old comrade in a Chinese tunic suit.

The old comrade's forehead was bleeding, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was covered with blood, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

The physical team next to them all looked exhausted, sitting on the ground and unable to move.

Only the shadow man stood aside with his body propped up.

Li Aiguo's head buzzed.

If something happens to the experts, the rescue will be more than half a failure.

He hurriedly asked what happened to the shadow man.

I don't know whose flashlight hit Li Aiguo's face.

The shadow man let out an exclamation: "Patriotic, why are you?"

Listening to the voice, Li Aiguo confirmed that he was Liu Tianquan, the eldest son of Aunt Liu.

But at this time, he didn't care about the past, and continued to ask loudly.

Liu Tianquan also realized the seriousness of the situation, suppressed his doubts in his heart, and explained it quickly.

The petrophysical team completed the scheduled tasks.

Professor Zheng and the others seemed to have made a remarkable discovery, and rushed back to report to the higher authorities.

The team members were ordered to return to the camp immediately, only to find that the cave had collapsed.

We can only follow the standard practice of the survey team and stay behind the collapsed area and wait for rescue.

It's just that the rescue has not arrived for a long time. After eating the dry food they carried with them, they thought that there were fish in the underground river in the underground cave.

Professor Zheng knew how to fish, so he brought the comrades of the rock property team to the end of the dark river.

At the beginning, Professor Zheng did catch a lot of fish.

With those fish, the rocky team survived for a few days.

It's just that yesterday morning, when the Rock Physical Team woke up from sleep, they felt that they had no strength at all.

The big guys thought they were hungry.

then.

Professor Zheng braced his body and prepared to go down the river to catch fish again.

His feet slipped, his head hit the stone, and he was unconscious at the time.

After Liu Tianquan finished speaking, he looked around carefully and saw that the rescue team was making a stretcher.

He leaned into Li Aiguo's ear and whispered, "Professor Zheng is the captain of the petrophysical team. After making a new discovery, he didn't tell the other experts."

"Understood, don't worry, we will definitely be able to rescue Professor Zheng."

It seems that the discovery this time is really important, Professor Zheng even concealed it from those old colleagues.

It's just that I didn't expect such a vigilant person to be noticed by the enemy because of his greed for appetite.

Humans are all animals of desire, always giving in to desire. '

"Old knife, you will personally escort Professor Zheng. You must not let Professor Zheng leave your sight for a moment."

Li Aiguo gave Lao Dao a wink.

"Yes!" Lao Dao nodded knowingly.

At this time, the stretcher was ready, and Li Aiguo asked Lao Dao to bring Professor Zheng to the stretcher, and quickly sent him to the ground.

Then he ordered several rescue team members to help several experts and rescue team members.

The return journey was extremely smooth. In about two hours, the rescue team returned to the ground.

Seeing Professor Zheng on the stretcher and the rescued experts, there was warm applause at the scene.

Cai Fangshun of the Railway Corps gave a thumbs up: "Old man Ge, the old man knows you can do it."

"Comrade Cai Fangshun, I need your help with something."

Li Aiguo looked at the heavily armed guards: "Professor Zheng is injured, I hope your railway soldiers can send medical soldiers here."

"Also, those experts and rescuers need to be isolated for a while, please send someone to guard the tent."

Commander Zhang of the rescue team has been standing by, hearing Li Aiguo's arrangement, his expression is a bit gloomy.

Their rescue team had professional doctors, but Li Aiguo sought help from the railway soldiers.

Li Aiguo believed in the comrades of the railway soldiers more than the rescue team whose personnel were of unknown origin.

The terrain along the railway is difficult and dangerous, and the mountains and mountains are connected by tunnels and bridges.

The climate along the route is erratic. The sky is often full of wind and sand in the morning, the sun is hot at noon, sometimes it rains cats and dogs, and sometimes it snows and ice.

Faced with such a difficult environment, the railway soldiers are not afraid of hardships, crossing mountains and rivers, and the more difficult they are, the more they move forward.

If there is no firm belief, there is no way to persevere.

Li Aiguo is also taking precautions before they happen.
