Shirley Yang picked up the shovel and quickly buried the soil and sand. She had developed a blind trust in Wu Liang.
As long as Wu Liang gave the order, she would do it without hesitation.
This trust was built up bit by bit during their time together.
Even if Wu Liang asked her to take off her clothes, she would definitely roll her eyes at him!
Old Hu and Fatty's expressions were also ugly. They quickly helped fill the soil.
They only stopped when they buried the stone statue again.
However, Professor Hao was so anxious that his face turned red.
" I told you before we rested," Fatty shouted." There might be a group of Desert Army Ants down there." Are you deaf or stupid? Why are you still digging? Are you trying to kill us just for this stupid rock monster?”
"It's a relic, a stone statue, not a stone monster.”
Professor Hao's correction made Fatty even angrier.
"In your eyes, are our lives not as important as this stone monster?”
"If that's the case, you guys can find the Ancient City of Jingjue yourself.”
"F * ck, if a desert army ant colony really comes out, I'll definitely kill you before I bite you to death.”
" Brother Wang," Ye Yixin hurriedly said," we are all studying archaeology and have been working in the wild. Who knows, we might die outside one day." He decided to bury this skeleton in peace. He didn't expect to dig out this giant pupil stone statue. He really didn't mean to harm everyone.”
"Comrade Wang, we actually wanted to dig a shallow pit, but we didn't expect to dig up this stone statue," said Professor Chen. " We thought that since the sandstorm hadn't stopped yet, the army ants wouldn't come out at this time. So, we started to study them together. Once the wind stopped, we would leave immediately. There shouldn't be any accidents.”
"Whether there's an accident or not, it's not up to you."”
"Professor Chen, you are an archaeologist, not a biologist.”
"You probably don't know this, but these ants use their scent to find food. As long as an ant finds us, it will use its antennae to communicate.”
"In other words, if we don't dig and leave immediately after the sandstorm stops, there's a high chance that nothing will happen.”
"It's very likely that once the sandstorm stops, the ants will have surrounded us.”
"At that time, thousands of desert army ants will appear and swallow us up in an instant.”
"And the skeleton you just buried is our role model.”
Looking at the impassioned Old Hu, Xue Li Yang sighed,""Old Hu is right. "Mr. Carson, you're really impulsive this time. Even if you do something, you shouldn't make the decision on your own. You should at least ask for our opinion. We're also members of the team. If an accident happens, we'll have to face the same danger."”
Professor Chen heard Old Hu's explanation and realized that he had made a huge mistake. He was ashamed for a moment.
"Xue Li, I was too careless. I let everyone down and put everyone in danger.”
Wu Liang lit a cigarette and took a deep puff to calm himself down. He said indifferently,"Fatty Hu, don't sleep anymore. Pack up everything. We can't wait for the wind to stop. As long as the sandstorm is slightly lighter, we'll leave this place immediately.”
"Old man Anman, please tie up the supplies properly. Water and food must not be left behind, even if you have to give up some tools.”
"I'll help you reinforce the outside later. You can't waste any time before you leave, or else your camel will be gnawed into bones.”
An Liman hurriedly got up and put away the blanket."Alright, Hu Dahui likes you very much. I'll listen to you. We'll be good brothers from now on, good brothers who break bones and tendons. I'll give you my favorite horse milk wine.”
The wind howled, and the four of them were tied together with ropes to prevent the wind from blowing them into the sky. They struggled to leave the earthen kiln house.
Seeing Wu Liang struggling to walk in the wind, Xue Li Yang felt her heart ache.
Frowning, Xue Li Yang suddenly shouted,""Can't you guys give him less trouble? You don't feel sorry for Little Wu, but I do. You guys are too much.”
This was the first time Shirley Yang had lost her temper. She had always respected Professor Chen and had always been a good person.
All along, while Xue Li Yang was trying to persuade Wu Liang, she also told Professor Chen and the others about Wu Liang's difficulties. This was to maintain the relationship between the two sides and prevent the conflict from expanding.
At this moment, seeing Wu Liang take the risk to go out, she felt extremely uncomfortable and could not help but lose her temper.
Ye Yixin's eyes were red. She comforted her." Sister Yang, it's all my fault. If I hadn't suggested burying the bones, so many things wouldn't have happened."”
Xue Li Yang took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"You guys rest for a while more. Pay attention to whether there are any Desert Army Ants around you. Once Little Wu leaves, everyone immediately follow him. Chu Jian took care of Uncle Chen while Xiao Sa took care of Xiao Ye. They were not in good health, so they should not fall behind.”
Xue Li Yang gave her orders in an orderly manner. This arrangement was very good. She knew that if anything happened, she would have to follow Wu Liang closely to survive.
If it weren't for Wu Liang, these people wouldn't have died even if they had a few lives.
Including this time, if it wasn't for Wu Liang and the others taking care of them, this black sandstorm would have been enough to wipe them out.
This was the truth. He wasn't looking down on them.
"Professor Hao, Wu Liang clearly told you about the danger. Why didn't you listen to his orders?"”
"Don't think that with Wu Liang around, you can overcome any danger. Wu Liang was a human, not a god. It was impossible for him to cover everything.”
"Once a fatal danger occurs, even Wu Liang can't save everyone.”
"Moreover, you guys have always been doing things your own way. If you encounter danger, Wu Liang might not always save you.”
"You love archeology, but you have to think about your own lives and your families who are waiting for you to return.”
"Since we acknowledge Old Hu and the others as the team leaders, we should respect their opinions and not make our own decisions again and again.”
About fifteen minutes later, Wu Liang and the other three returned to the house with difficulty and waved the yellow sand off their bodies.
Wu Liang untied the rope on his body.
Sitting down cross-legged, Wu Liang absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi while immersing his mind in the perception of the outside world. At this moment, his perception was the sharpest.
After a long time, it was dawn.
Wu Liang said," The sandstorm outside has lessened a little. It might be difficult to walk. At least we don't have to worry about the wind bringing us up to the sky. We'll set off immediately."”
He sheathed his saber again and picked up a pot of water to carry with him in case of an accident.
Old Hu and Fatty had been waiting for a long time and walked out of the house.
"Follow up, don't fall behind." Shirley Yang shouted.”
As soon as they reached the exit, they felt the yellow sand flying and the wind whistling.
"Sister Yang, the wind is too strong. Why don't we wait for a while before leaving?" Xiao Sa shouted.”
At this moment, there was a swooshing sound in the room.
In an instant, Desert Army Ants emerged from the sand on the ground. There were thousands of them, countless of them. Huge bumps continued to appear, making people's scalps go numb, and a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts.
"F * ck, it's the Desert Army Ants. Everyone, run quickly. Throw everything away and ride the camels to leave quickly.”
Outside the house, in the sandstorm, a huge ant was faintly discernible.
This giant ant had six pairs of transparent wings on its back. Its entire body was dark red and seemed to be burning with a layer of red flames. Its body, which was like a calf, stunned everyone.
"F * ck, why are ants so big and have wings?”
Fatty asked loudly. This completely overturned his three views. Even though he had encountered the Overlord Salamandrid in Kunlun Glacier, these two creatures did not belong to the same species at all.
Bang!
A gunshot accurately hit the figure, but it found that it could not penetrate the ant queen's shell at all.
Wu Liang shouted," This is the queen ant. It seems like we've been surrounded."”
"Cher, use tear gas to clear a path and quickly leave the encirclement of the ants.”
"Don't worry about those people behind us. Even if they die, it's their own death. I'll deal with this ant queen."
"I can't leave Uncle Chen behind. Old Hu and Fatty are coming together. Everyone needs your help," Shirley said anxiously.
Fatty followed him helplessly and muttered," He's really going to die. Let's go save him. If Little Wu doesn't want to go, we have to go. We can't just leave him in the lurch."”
Old Hu shouted," Cut the crap. Saving people is more important. Leave this ant queen to Little Wu."”
Wu Liang sighed lightly. He knew that these three would not abandon these people. This was their character.
