Chapter 124 Is secrecy for leaking secrets?
We came to the clearing ground in the forest again. The bearded team's fire had been extinguished, but there were no corpses here.
"This is the square, follow the corridor." The leader squatted on the ground, digging down with a shovel, digging out dead leaves and soil layers on the ground, and there were stone slabs underneath.
So as he said, this place used to be a square, and the square had a corridor connecting... the city?
This bold guess made me a little excited. If there were ancient cities on this island, maybe we could find some valuable treasures.
For example, the royal city treasure house, underground secret treasures, and the golden utensils in the temple...
"Why are you laughing at?" Junior Brother Sha was still following me. He just asked me why I used him as a shield. I said, "Didn't you let me hide behind you when I encounter danger?"
A sentence blocked him from the point of saying nothing, he didn't know what to do and insisted on following me.
I don’t know if I want to wait until there is any danger again and give it to me, “use his way and give it to him.”
"I thought of something funny." I stopped my unconscious smile just now and answered seriously.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"Uh... I like to dance square dance, and I am happy to see the square." I was just rude.
"Mrs. Chen is really interesting. She likes to dance square dance at a young age?" Meng Qingyu suddenly interrupted.
If you call Chen Qinghan, call me Mrs. Chen, don’t treat me too much.
"Haha, I am small, but I am actually ten years older than Qinghan. Alas, I am only ten years younger than that, and others say we are in a mother-son relationship." I deliberately put the emphasis on the words "ten years younger" and "mother-son relationship", because she just smiled and teased Chen Qinghan and said that she was ten years older than him, and asked her if she looked so old?
This Chen Taohua is really annoying. Why do I always play the role of a rival in love?
I now suspect that Chen Qinghan was not a life-threatening peach blossom. He might have been infected with some witchcraft or poison, or that he had objects with spells. When a woman saw him, she would inexplicably want to get close to him, even if he had already shown that he was a married man.
"Puff... cough cough!" Another student of Professor Liu was caring and coughed while covering his mouth, but his smile was too obvious and he couldn't hide it.
"Why are you laughing at?" Junior Brother Sha asked with a very wink.
"I also remembered something funny." Guan Xia said with a rubbing face.
"Do you also like to dance square dance?" Junior Brother Sha stared at him with a slight look of anger.
"No, I remember that today is the day for school exams, so I don't have to take it, so I'm very happy."
Meng Qingyu looked as usual, as if she didn't understand the metaphor I just said, but I believe she understood it, but she was at a high level and her emotions were not revealed.
"Stop chatting, be careful and set off." After the neighboring team found the correct corridor, they asked everyone to follow him.
Chen Qinghan had nothing to talk to Meng Qingyu anymore. When he returned to me, he probably had something to say to me, but Junior Brother Sha followed me closely and we didn’t have the chance to whisper.
I naturally have to pay more attention when someone is following her. I pull Chen Qinghan's sleeves forward and try to pretend to be "little bird dependent".
Fortunately, the three of us were just pretending to be in time and no one noticed something strange. Moreover, their team was strong and there were no serious injuries or deaths. The three of us were unscathed and did not appear to be abrupt.
The bearded man must have come to find this ancient city. Chen Qinghan had a conversation with the team leader, but the other party was very strict. He also talked to Professor Liu for a few words. Professor Liu only talked about academic issues, but he never mentioned the real purpose of their trip.
Chen Qinghan probably was afraid that too many questions would arouse their vigilance, so he just chatted casually without asking in depth.
Meng Qingyu came out to smooth things over, saying that their actions were kept confidential and could not be disclosed to the outside world.
Everyone has brought it in, what secrets are there? If it is really a confidentiality operation, we shouldn’t be invited to join, otherwise what should we do in the end? Will we kill us to silence us?
I said in a joking tone that we can sign a confidentiality agreement and will definitely not say it out.
The team leader replied to me that the confidentiality level of this operation was very high and it was not as simple as signing an agreement.
So, it would be better to leave us on the beach. We have to bring us in to leak the secrets, which is difficult for everyone to deal with!
No matter what the corridor was, the road we were walking now is covered with green vegetation. Every time the leader walked, he would squat down and shovel the ground.
After walking for about twenty minutes, a pair of white bones blocked our way.
This pair of white bones hangs on the branches, which are very fresh. There are bright red meat residues on the bones. Although the torn clothes are dirty, they are not old.
And I recognize that this style of clothes is exactly what the bearded team wears.
The role of their team seems to mark us where there is danger and to warn us.
Just as now, after seeing the bones, the leader immediately asked everyone to be careful, there may be small and large carnivorous creatures nearby.
Large animals either swallow people directly or eat only internal organs, and eat people so cleanly. Most of them are creatures such as mice and ants.
There are gun holes on the surrounding tree trunks. The leader told us to be careful, and this thing is likely to fly.
Because the bullets are attacking from bottom to top, from top to bottom, and alternately, it means that the creatures that attack the bearded men can move up and down in the air.
"Look at that." Xiao Zhou whispered to remind the leader that there was also a white bone hanging on another tree five meters away from the white bone.
"Why are they all hanging on the tree?" Cong Zhibo asked Professor Liu in a low voice.
"Because trees are alive, they are sucking their bone marrow." Professor Liu's courage was much older than his two students. He walked behind a white bone and looked up to observe the connection between the white bones and the branches.
Although the flesh and flesh on the white bones were gone, their muscles and bones were connected and did not completely fall apart.
The end of the branch is wrapped around the neck bones of the white bones. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t find that the branch is pierced into the bones.
My eyes turned to the trunk, wanting to see what species of trees like to eat people.
When I saw this, I saw a crack in the trunk of the tree, and red ants with translucent wings emerged from it.
"There are flying ants in the tree." I quickly notified everyone.
"Prepare for fire." The leader looked very experienced and immediately asked someone to prepare for fire attack.
When they all flew out and burned, it would probably be too late, so the leader ordered that the tree trunks be lit immediately while they had just emerged.
Doing this does have the risk of igniting a forest fire, but it is better than waiting for the flying ants to come out and chew us all.
