Chapter 22 Lin Jia's Notes (1)

Wan Changchun focused on Lin Jia's work notes. At this time, Su Yichen and Hu Zhijun walked over, stood beside Wan Changchun and turned their eyes to the notebook. When they saw what was written on it, their eyes could no longer be moved. The three of them watched the content of the notebook together and continued to look down.

Wan Changchun reached out to turn over another page. When he turned over this page, he felt a little complicated and expectant, because if the records behind this were not unexpected, it should be everything Lin Jia encountered after leaving the camp.

"On June 13, the weather was unknown and the temperature was unknown. This was a strange experience. Last night, I left a note and walked out of the camp to look for the oasis and water sources. When I walked about 7 kilometers and crossed a sand dune, I finally found a small oasis in front of me. The appearance of this oasis confirmed my judgment on the existence of the underground river. And when I came to the oasis, I found that there was an ancient well in the center of the oasis. This ancient well can confirm that this oasis was once a sign of human existence.

I was very happy to find the ancient well because it means that the difficulty of lack of water resources in the team has been completely solved. As long as I bring the news back to the camp and send a report to the army, I can save the transportation costs. Since I am still in sufficient time, I plan to inspect the landform here, especially the history of the ancient well. Perhaps it can deduce the history and geographical evolution of the desert and the underground river from this. Who would have thought that when I was about to do my work, a storm suddenly broke out around me. The storm came very strangely and even appeared without warning. And in just a few minutes, the storm was so big that it was incredible.

I have experienced many storms in the desert during the years of scientific research and investigation, but they have never been as terrible as this storm. The overwhelming wind makes it impossible for people to stand up at all. The sand from the strong wind rushes like waves. In order to avoid the storm, I finally made a decision, that is, to tie my waist with a rope, tie the other end to the rock beside the ancient well, and then hide in the well for a while, because if I don’t do this, maybe I can’t support it without waiting for the storm to subside. But who would have thought that after I did this, I would have an accident that I could not even imagine. Because shortly after I entered the well, the rope that tied myself broke inexplicably. The breakdown of the rope made me fall into the well all of a sudden. I tried to struggle and wanted to climb up with the wall of the well. But for some reason, there seemed to be a very powerful vortex in the bottom of the well, which pulled me down hard.

When the well water mercilessly over my head, I even thought I was about to drown in the well. At this time, my mood was very complicated. I was glad that I did not insist on continuing to search east, because if I insisted on this decision, I could certainly find this oasis to solve the water source problem, but the same was true for this sudden storm that would cause the entire expedition team to encounter great danger. The ultimate loss was not just me but the entire team. Fortunately, the camp is now a little distance away from here, and I hope this storm will not affect the camp, and the comrades are safe. At the same time, I also regretted that I should not come out to find water at night, and thus encountered this storm. The Chairman once said that people will always die. There has never been an exception since ancient times. I, Lin Jia, are just an ordinary person, and of course I am afraid of death, but in addition to death, I still have a lot of concern in my heart.

In an instant, countless pieces of memory flashed through my mind, including relatives, comrades, and scientific research work I love. The biggest regret is that I can no longer conduct my research. Moreover, for my lover and dear children, my incompetent husband and father, I want to say sorry to you...

My last words were useless in the end, because after I lost consciousness at the bottom of the caisson, when I opened my eyes again, I found that I was not dead, and I did not come to the so-called underworld or the paradise that Westerners often call.

I was still alive when I woke up. Not only did I live, I was lying on a very soft grass. The breeze slapped around me, and the sunlight in the sky shone on my body lazy. There was no trace of water on my clothes, as if everything I had encountered in the well before was a nightmare.

But reason tells me that there is no nightmare. The oasis I discovered before, including the incredible storm, are real. And according to the route of the expedition team, it is still more than 300 kilometers away from the desert area. From this point of view, it is impossible to come to the grassland from the desert at once.

At first, I thought I was dreaming, but the pinching marks on my arms and the pain from the nerve tubes all told me that everything in front of me was also real. But why did I come to this grassland even though I accidentally fell into a well in the storm? This was simply incredible. After a little rest, I got up and looked around, preparing to judge where I was, and then I found a way to notify the inspection team or the yard of my own situation so that my comrades would not worry…”

This diary made Su Yichen and the other two look at each other. They never thought that Lin Jia would come to this place like this, the oasis in the desert, the ancient well in the oasis, the sudden appearance of the storm and the unexpected disconnection of the rope... Although these are somewhat different from what Su Yichen and the others encountered, one thing is the same, that is, an incredible accident occurred under the impossible situation.

At the same time, the specific location of Lin Jia's appearance in this place is similar to Wan Changchun and the others, and is also on the grassland. This situation made Su Yichen a little puzzled, because both Lin Jia, Wan Changchun and Hu Zhijun all woke up on the grassland after entering this place, but why did he be an exception?

Wan Changchun turned this page and continued to read. Who would have thought that Lin Jia did not make detailed records on the next page. He only wrote a few short sentences on it, such as in searching, or the location cannot be judged for the time being, etc., and these clueless words are mixed with sentences such as "incredible", "strange", and "completely impossible".

Lin Jia wrote these messy records for four days, and it was not until the fifth day, June 18 that the records in the notebook became normal.

"On June 18, the weather was unknown and the temperature was unknown. After four consecutive days of search and comparison, I came to a conclusion that I could not believe. It can be said that the shock this place gave me during these four days is something I have never seen in my life for more than 50 years. I can't describe my current excitement in accurate sentences, because all this is incredible.

However, all of this is real, and the living existence is right in front of me. At first, when I was about to use the tools I carried with me to locate my location, I first found that the compass had completely lost its effect. At first, I thought it was a problem of pointer demagnetization, so I took apart the compass and used the friction principle to add magnetic remediation to the pointer. But the result is still like this. The pointer's bias is still serious, and it is even impossible to locate it in circles, as if there is a powerful magnetic field around it, or in a scene with magnetite.

The inability to use the compass made me give up it and use the sun in the sky as a reference for positioning. But I soon found that this was not working, because the too-lasting above my head did not change its position. After a few hours, I always hung high in one place, as if I had never moved. This made me wonder. Could it be that the sun no longer became fixed when it rose east and set west? Or the law of the celestial bodies that the earth rotated around the sun had undergone fundamental changes, and the entire earth and the sun were in a synchronous and unchanging situation? This was simply impossible.

Next, I also discovered a series of incredible situations. When I turned my eyes from the grassland to the forest not far away, I actually saw the tall fern trees on the other side of the forest. For a moment, I thought I was dazzled and couldn't believe everything in front of me. But when I walked closer and looked closely, I found that it was all true. Not just a fern tree, but there were countless trees in the forest. Although their subjects were different, from my major, it was easy to judge that they were indeed giant ferns that had completely disappeared from the earth as early as the end of the third generation. My God! Can so many living fossils survive to modern times? This is simply too strange..."
