Section 4 Divergence

  The Fourth Section Divided Path

  New Book Recommendation:

  Although Xu De is just an ordinary class leader, he is a sixth-level officer and enjoys the treatment of a regular regimental commander. As a professional highland snow guide in the automobile company, he has been to X392 outpost more than ten times, and is also familiar with the nearby mountains and climate.

  Looking at the dark clouds drifting in the sky, the direction changed slightly, and Xu De immediately jumped up from the ground.

  "No, we have to go with the emergency plan."

  Just as he lit his second cigarette, Hu Song was surprised at how excited Xu De was. The thick clouds on the horizon were still some distance away, and it was estimated that there was enough time for them to find out what was wrong with the car.

  "What's wrong? Isn't the blizzard still some distance away?"

  "It's not a matter of distance, but the direction of the wind. If we don't set out now, we won't be able to reach X392 outpost before the blizzard, which is currently heading in that direction."

  "Damn it!"

  Although the clouds in the sky seemed to be moving normally, and even the wind direction nearby was still unchanged as before, Hu Song would not doubt Xu De's judgment at this time. To use a modern idiom, it is "pay for what you get". As a sixth-level officer, although he was not an official, Xu De was the highest-paid person in the car regiment.

  After stomping out a good cigarette on the ground, Hu Song and Xu De rushed towards the parked car together.

  "What's wrong, haven't you found the problem yet?"

  Upon hearing Hu Song's loud roar, Zhao Zhong and Song Ba simultaneously lifted their faces. Zhao Zhong still had a puzzled expression on his face, while Song Ba looked at the changing expressions on Xu De's face and asked in surprise: "Class leader, could it be that things are going to change?"

  "The blizzard will arrive at X392 outpost first."

  Xu De didn't say much, he just raised his hand and pointed. When Songba turned to look, the thick clouds on the horizon indeed seemed to have a few more wisps of cloud. Silently taking note of this common sense, Songba didn't say anything else and immediately made way for Hu Song.

  "Do you know where the problem is roughly?"

  Although he was anxious in his heart, Hu Song would not forget his responsibility as a counselor. Guidance on thought and guidance on work must be meticulous, this is the perfect image of a counselor in Hu Song's mind.

  "The engine is fine, I'll go take a look at the underside of the car."

  After gritting his teeth, Zhao Zhong finally expressed the doubts in his mind. In fact, he would rather find problems on the engine, and for the needs of high mountain snow transportation, the transportation team even prepared a complete set of emergency engine repair plans. But what if it was really a problem with the chassis under the engine? Depending on the severity of the situation, things could be unpredictable.

  Suddenly hearing Zhao Zhong say this, Hu Song was also a bit stunned. He could let Zhao Zhong check the engine problem with peace of mind because he trusted that he could fix any condition of the engine, but if there really was a problem with the chassis, this was the most headache-inducing place for transportation companies.

  As Zhao Zhong quickly crawled under the car, Xu De and Song Ba also looked at each other in dismay. Although both of their specialties were navigation, they also knew that a chassis malfunction had a much greater impact on the car than an engine failure, let alone when the car was already unable to move.

  The dry and cold climate of the Gobi Desert made everything around frozen, because the ground was not covered with felt, when Zhao Zhong got under the car, he felt a sharp pain on his back, but what really pained him was everything he saw in front of his eyes.

  The driveshaft has broken! And it's not just an ordinary break, the entire driveshaft is broken into two pieces. This kind of damage is extremely rare and is beyond repair. As for why the engine stopped running after the driveshaft broke, it must be that some other connecting device also malfunctioned. However, mechanical repairs are not his specialty, and Zhao Zhong has no intention of investigating further, after all, the fact remains that the driveshaft is broken, and there's nothing he can do about it.

  “OH,!”

  After two years in the racing world, Zhao Zhong also learned the ways of those top foreign mechanics to express their astonishment. Although he didn't believe in God, at this moment he could only use God to express his astonishment.

  If I were driving at that time, I would definitely be able to judge the problem based on the vibration of the steering wheel and wouldn't have mistaken it for an engine condition. Compared to the stable-first team car, this kind of chassis problem rarely occurs, but racing cars that frequently accelerate and decelerate are more likely to experience transmission shaft failures.

  "What did you say, Zhao Zhong?" asked Xu De, who was already bending down to look under the car and didn't understand what Zhao Zhong had said.

  Knowing that there was no explanation, and no need for an explanation, Zhao Zhong hastily turned his face and said: "It's no good, Captain. This car can't be driven anymore. The transmission shaft is completely broken and must be towed back to the garage for replacement."

  "What? The driveshaft broke, how is this possible?"

  Before Xu De could speak, Hu Song, who had already bent down beside him, immediately crawled under the car. The breakage of the transmission shaft is difficult to say as a common fault, at least not a driving or maintenance fault, but rather some product component or metal quality issues.

  Although it was hard to believe, when Hu Song saw the transmission shaft's cross-shaped bearing break and the deformed shape of the transmission shaft on the ground, he immediately became tense and couldn't speak. Such a fault was indeed irreparable, but at this time they were not allowed to tow the vehicle back to the team. As for Zhao Zhong's nonsense about the transmission shaft breaking, that was just due to his lack of experience.

  "Instructor, why don't you drive another car to send the generator up the mountain, and Zhao Zhong and I will wait for rescue here. Fortunately, the generator is on that car, so it's not too much of a delay."

  While Hu Song was still staring at the broken driveshaft in a daze, Xu De also crawled under the car. As for the condition of the vehicle, he naturally knew that there was no need to worry about it himself, and simply proposed an emergency plan in his mind.

  "...this, how can this be? Or you take Zhao Zhong up the mountain, and I'll stay behind with Song Ba."

  No need to think much, Hu Song also knew the danger of staying. Once he drove up the mountain, it was impossible to leave before the blizzard ended, and rescue vehicles would not be able to arrive in time before the blizzard arrived.

  "Just stop arguing, neither you nor Songba have experience surviving in the snowy wilderness. Actually, it's best if I take Songba and stay behind, but you guys going up the mountain also need a guide, so let's just do our own thing!"

  Xu De's words carried an unshakeable determination, this was the value of a sixth-level officer in the army. Once they entered their professional domain, even the highest officials had to listen to their command.

  Song Ba, who was left outside the car, also heard the simple discussion from under the car. In fact, there were two more options for him to consider. One was that he and Zhao Zhong stayed behind, and the other was that they left together. However, no matter which option they chose, it was unlikely that Class Leader and Instructor would accept it due to their sense of responsibility and self-respect.

  But if it's about abandoning a car worth hundreds of thousands and leaving, this is absolutely not something that soldiers can do, let alone with excellent snow guides like Xu De in charge.

  Compared with Song Ba as the second guide, Zhao Zhong knew that he had no room to intervene now. He could only drive and nothing else, let alone say that he didn't have a chance to show off his driving skills now, because of Hu Song's relationship, he still hadn't driven such a heavy truck until now.

  Due to limited options and considering Song Ba and Zhao Zhong's abilities, Hu Song had no choice but to accept Xu De's suggestion.
