"Of course! Chief Jiang might be young, but he has experienced a lot.”
"It's just a desert. Our Chief Jiang has entered and exited it countless times. He's as familiar as his own backyard!”
Jiang Nan rolled his eyes. Fatty was starting to brag again!
However, with the desert survival experience given by the system, Jiangnan could indeed be considered a genuine desert survival expert.
"Alright, Fatty, let's start moving. This black sandstorm will only get bigger and bigger. If we drag this on, we won't be able to get out later!”
Not long after, the few people who were busy returned.
The dried sand pine seeds, together with solid fuel, lit up the dim ancient house with a blazing fire.
Everyone sat in front of the bonfire and shared their rations and water to replenish their strength.
Jiang Nan saw Shirley rubbing her eyes and sat down beside her.
"Are you alright?"
"There's sand in my eyes…I can't get it out after a long time."
Shirley said with some pain. As she said that, Shirley couldn't help but reach out to rub her eyes.
"Don't move!"
Jiang Nan quickly grabbed her hand.
"To think that you came to the desert. Don't you know this bit of common sense?”
"There's sand in my eyes. I can't rub them. The more I rub them, the more uncomfortable it will be!”
As he spoke, Jiang Nan stood up and went to get a pot of water.
Jiang Nan stretched out his hand and was about to touch Shirley's eyes.
Surprisingly, Shirley did not dodge at all. The corners of her mouth were still holding an unpredictable smile.
She looked at Jiang Nan with a smile.
She didn't resist and allowed Jiang Nan's hand to touch her face and open her eyes.
Jiang Nan smiled, not surprised.
Jiang Nan wasn't a fool. The straight shot in the sandstorm was already straightforward enough.
The cold water slowly fell down, washing away the sand in Shirley's eyes.
For a moment, the atmosphere here was so harmonious that even the howling of the wind seemed to be blocked out.
Not long after, the sand had already rushed out of his eyes.
Jiang Nan handed Shirley a piece of toilet paper.
"Wipe it and blink. It should be fine.”
"Yes!"
Shirley replied softly and blinked her eyes. Sure enough, the sand had been washed away, and her eyes felt much better.
"When you go back, tighten the straps of your goggles. If you loosen them, sand will easily enter.”
"Although it's a little uncomfortable, it's much better than sand.”
Jiang Nan casually gave a few instructions. Then, he took off the glove on his right hand and stabbed his fingers into the sand layer under his feet.
"Why don't you help me tighten... What are you doing?"
Before he could finish, Shirley saw Jiang Nan suddenly close his eyes and poke his fingers into the sand.
"Shh…"
Jiang Nan didn't even open his eyes. He shook his head and explained casually,""I want to confirm something that I care about…"
Sand... Sand... Sand...
As expected, there was a large amount of fine movement in the depths of the sand layer.
Some plots were inevitable.
"Tsk!"
Jiang Nan couldn't help but click his tongue, but he wasn't too worried.
"Is there something dangerous under the sand?”
Shirley knew how powerful Heavenly Official Fa Qiu's two-finger probing technique was. Thus, she was somewhat bewildered when she saw the change in Jiang Nan's expression.
"Yes, desert army ants…There are quite a number of them, so many that it's frightening!"
"Anyway, it's enough to gnaw all of us into bones.”
Jiang Nan said calmly.
"Why…"
Shirley subconsciously exclaimed, but before she could do so, Jiang Nan covered her mouth.
"It's okay. We're just playing. You guys continue eating and drinking!”
"Rest early if you're tired. We still have to continue on our way!”
Jiang Nan laughed and laughed when he saw everyone's puzzled gazes.
"Oh! I understand!"
Fatty suddenly patted his head, feeling that he had understood something.
"Chief Jiang, please be quiet. Everyone is still awake.”
"Why don't you guys continue after we fall asleep? At that time, no one will disturb you.”
As he spoke, he laughed non-stop.
At the same time, the others also gave the two of them good-natured teasing looks.
Jiang Nan's face darkened and he scolded with a smile,"Get lost!"”
Fatty was a fool!
"Why didn't you tell them?"
After everyone's attention shifted, Shirley whispered into Jiang Nan's ear.
The hot and humid air hit his ears, making Jiang Nan's heart itch.
"There's no need. It's just adding to my worries.”
"Everyone has been running around for a day and a night without sleep. Their energy and physical strength have reached their limits.”
"At this time, they need a good rest, not a night of fear.”
"Otherwise, they'll definitely pull their hips tomorrow!”
"Besides, so what if I tell them? What good ideas could they have? There was a black sandstorm outside, where could he run to?”
"I still have to stay here."
Shaking his head, Jiang Nan instinctively distanced himself and explained.
Shirley smiled sweetly.“... You are a gentle person, Jiang Nan."
Gentle?
Alright then!
After all, gentleness was a compliment, wasn't it?
As long as he wasn't a good person.
"Ah!"
At that moment, Ye Yixin suddenly cried out in shock.
Jiang Nan and Shirley looked at each other and quickly walked over.
Suddenly, there was a skeleton behind Ye Yixin. It was obvious that the little girl was frightened.
His face turned pale.
Jiang Nan rolled his eyes silently.
Can't you see that your dear Professor Hao's face has darkened? Still shouting!
This was a scene that only movies and television dramas would have. If one dared to write such a scene in a book, they would sooner or later be criticized.
Archeologists were afraid of human bones? Wasn't this a joke?
"Yixin, I don't want to criticize you, but we're archaeologists. How can we be afraid of mere human bones?”
Sure enough, Professor Hao couldn't hold it in anymore and reprimanded him with a dark face.
Of course, his face was already quite dark.
"Yes... I'm sorry, Professor Hao. I didn't expect there to be human bones here... I'm not mentally prepared enough."
This Professor Hao was definitely an old bachelor! It was not without reason that he could not find a wife.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Nan cursed in his heart.
