Chapter 144 Fat Boy is mature
After the others left, Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi began to sort out the wood.
Fortunately, in order to prepare for special situations, they all carried tools with them, which came in handy at this time.
Since it took too long to go down the secret passage and it was inconvenient to transport, they simply took the sawed wood directly to the island in the middle of the lake below. This was not only convenient and trouble-free, but also did not delay things. .
After all, there is not much difference whether they start from the island in the middle of the lake or from the end of the stone steps.
It has to be said that with clear goals and sufficient motivation, work efficiency is very high.
Chen Ziyan and the others had just brought down the packed wood. Before they had time to make the raft, the others had already returned one after another.
There was nothing wrong with Shirley Yang. The process of convincing Professor Chen was not difficult. The time was basically spent on selecting supplies. After all, they were going to take the water route next, and the amount of supplies they could carry was limited. It's impossible to bring them all.
Chen Ziyan was really surprised that Wang Kaixuan and Black Glasses could come back so quickly.
Looking at the jackals brought by these two guys, Chen Ziyan felt that they were probably the ones who were driven here earlier, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that he encountered so many at once.
Especially since these dozen jackals are not dead yet, the difficulty has undoubtedly increased again.
Feeling Chen Ziyan's gaze, Wang Kaixuan grinned: "Mr. Chen, I must say that we are just lucky. We caught so many when we went out for a walk."
This is Wang Kaixuan said in his heart that he did not expect that he would encounter such a good group of people before he even went outside the scope of the ruins.
You must know that this is a desert. It is not easy to catch so many jackals at one time.
But after thinking about it, Chen Ziyan roughly guessed where these jackals came from.
If he guessed correctly, it must be related to the militants they killed. They probably came to eat at the buffet, but they were discovered by Wang Kaixuan and the others, and they found a way to bring them back.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan glanced at the other side with his peripheral vision. Professor Chen and others were looking at him with a complicated look, and felt that it was just a good opportunity to "comfort" them.
Thinking like this in his heart, he asked Wang Kaixuan: "Come on, Fatty, tell me about your great achievements in detail. I'm really curious. Where did you two blind cats encounter a dead mouse and caught it? So many jackals."
Wang Kaixuan didn't see Chen Ziyan's sinister intentions. Hearing him ask this, his grin became even bigger: "Luck, it's all luck. Didn't we deal with that garbage? I just planned to stop by and take a look to see if I could pick up some more equipment. I never imagined that I would see these beasts having a banquet there. How can I miss this God-given opportunity? It must be the right time to take action!" br>
Although he was a bit arrogant, Wang Kaixuan also knew what to say and what not to say, and did not spit out everything carelessly.
Chen Ziyan gave him a very satisfied look, which was a better answer than he expected.
He thought that this guy would directly tell the story of killing those people, but he didn't expect to use some metaphors.
Very good, Fatty is mature!
Boss Chen is very satisfied with his performance.
But Chen Ziyan feels satisfied, but some people don’t feel so.
Although not everyone on Professor Chen's side understood what he said, those who should did could hear what was hidden in the words.
However, Professor Chen’s eyes towards Chen Ziyan have completely changed?
Although Professor Chen knew that Chen Ziyan and his group were a bit ruthless, he really didn’t expect them to be so ruthless.
He really thought that those weapons were picked up before, but now that he heard this, he still didn’t know. They were obviously trophies, okay?
What does this mean?
It shows that Chen Ziyan and his group really dare to kill people and silence them when they are angered, especially the fat man Wang Kaixuan. Look at what he said, what does it mean to dispose of some garbage, and what does it mean to open a banquet?
It’s terrible to think that this old man can’t understand this!
Professor Chen, who has never been exposed to such "terrorists", is really worried now, and the sermon he originally planned has completely disappeared.
Chen Ziyan didn't know Professor Chen's mental journey, but he could tell more or less from the changes in the old guy's face, and there was a hint of smile at the corner of his mouth.
Plan done!
He could not have guessed that although Shirley Yang had done a good job in ideological work, according to the old professor's character, he would most likely give himself a Tang Monk chanting sutra later, so he decisively used this to shut him up completely.
"Mr. Chen, I have something to ask." At this moment, black glasses came over and asked with a smile.
Chen Ziyan looked at him curiously: "Old Hei, what's the matter?"
After this period of contact, he knew what kind of face this guy had under his cynical appearance. Transparent thoughts.
Not to mention the bonus of countless years of experience. It is not an exaggeration to say that his overall strength is second in the team.
So Chen Ziyan was a little confused as to what this guy wanted to ask him.
"Hey!" Black Glasses sneered and said, "It's our camels, what do you think we should do with them?"
Chen Ziyan subconsciously replied: "They are carrying us like this after all. Don’t make any bad ideas for a long time. Besides, even if this place gives you dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, it won’t be able to produce delicious food.”
He thought Black Glasses wanted these camels. It has lost its effect and I want to taste what the hump tastes like.
Chen Ziyan’s expression was too clear, causing Black Glasses’ face to darken subconsciously: “Am I that kind of person?”
"Let me tell you, who among us would have such thoughts, it is you." Chen Ziyan gave him a "believe in yourself" look and said in a sincere tone.
He said this casually, but it was his true thoughts.
No way, who said this guy is not serious?
It is normal to suddenly have some strange thoughts.
The black glasses are a little helpless, I am so beautiful in your mind!
He didn't want to correct this, so he had to state his purpose directly: "What I mean is, we can't take them with us by water, so we might as well let them go back."
"That's no problem. ." Chen Ziyan agreed without hesitation.
Actually, this is what he planned. Since he decided to take the water route, the role of these camels would be gone, not to mention that he couldn't take them with him if he wanted to, so he might as well just let them go.
Anyway, with the dromedary wild camel here, these camels will definitely live a comfortable life.
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chen Ziyan noticed something was wrong, looked at the black glasses and asked: "If I heard correctly just now, Lao Hei, did you say 'go back'?"
< br>
"Yeah, I've been out for so long, of course I have to go home." Black Glasses said calmly. Of course, this would be more convincing if he didn't have a smile on his face.
"Come on, let's talk in detail." Chen Ziyan got a positive reply and became interested instantly.
He felt that he might know why Black Glasses had the confidence to enter the desert.
Originally, he thought that Black Glasses dared to pretend to be An Liman and come in with them because of his experience, but now it seems that this trump card is a bit deep.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's all thanks to An Liman. All these camels were brought up by An Liman. Especially the leading one has been with him for many years, so the old camels know the way. As long as they don't Even if something unexpected happens, they can always find their way home.”
Now that the camel has lost its function, Black Glasses has no intention of hiding anything and just tells what he knows.
Only then did Chen Ziyan realize that the reason why An Liman received this title and was recognized by others was not only his own extremely rich desert survival experience, but also the contribution of these camels.
These camels that have traveled deep into the desert countless times, unless they encounter natural or man-made disasters, they can find a way back no matter where they go.
“Tsk!” Chen Ziyan sighed with unknown meaning.
It's true that people should not be judged by their appearance. With just this hand, An Liman is able to cross the sand sea. Coupled with his rich experience honed over decades, he is simply a master who can walk sideways in the desert.
But there is something more important now. After getting the answer, Chen Ziyan didn’t dwell too much on the matter and readily agreed to Black Glasses’ request: “Okay, let’s put the camels back. I'll leave it to you."
He could guess that Black Glasses was so keen on this matter because he had promised An Liman something. After all, the old man regarded the camel as his lifeblood, so he treated him anyway. There is no loss, it is not as good as the beauty of adulthood.
As for whether Black Glasses would take the opportunity to send back any news, Chen Ziyan knew without even thinking about it that this guy would definitely find a way to make extra money.
But he also doesn't care, because even they themselves don't know how they will go next, and the zerg at the bottom of the lake are not endless. When the next batch appears, they don't know yet. For a long time, it was simply impossible to replicate their course of action.
How could Chen, someone like him, do things without leaving a backup plan?
Having considered this situation for a long time, he secretly placed several improvised time bombs in his pocket.
After Black Glasses was approved, he left to deal with the camel matter.
Chen Ziyan and the others began to make the next means of transportation - a raft.
Because they didn’t know how big the exit to the underground river was, they didn’t work on the size of the raft, but made two directly.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan are both from the south, and have been bathing in the river since they were children, so making such a simple raft is no pressure for them.
So it didn’t take long for two simple-shaped rafts to appear on the edge of the island in the middle of the lake.
After confirming that there was no problem with the raft and that it could be launched into the water, everyone did not delay too much and immediately prepared for the next step, using blood to lure out the so-called zerg.
The main people in this event are naturally Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Black Glasses, and the others are responsible for watching.
I saw three people pulling the tied up jackals to the shore, stepping on the struggling jackals with their feet, and cutting the arteries of the jackals without hesitation with the sharp knife in their hands. Following a dark red parabola, Bobo's blood began to gush out from the wound and merged into the deep underground lake.
Against the backdrop of the blood staining the lake surface, the three people's neat movements and nonchalant expressions left a deep impression on Professor Chen and others.
Chen Ziyan didn't care about this. Let alone killing a few wolves, even if these guys killed people like this, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
He took two steps forward and stared at the lake, waiting for the 'Water Messenger' to appear.
He was not asked to wait any longer. When Hu Bayi was placed in the second round, a little fluorescence began to emerge from the bottom of the water.
Seeing this scene, Hu Bayi glanced at the few remaining jackals behind him and asked: "Master Chen, do you still want to kill these?"
Now it is clear that the blood they provided has had enough effect, and the remaining jackals have become existences that can be killed or not.
In this regard, Chen Ziyan said without hesitation: "They have already prepared a banquet for themselves, so the good people will do it to the end!"
Just kidding!
If these jackals have never tasted humans and have not fallen into his hands, then he will naturally not pay attention to them.
But now, do you want to keep it for the New Year?
"Okay!"
As soon as Hu Bayi understood what Chen Ziyan meant, he immediately kicked the blood-drained wolf corpse away from his feet, grabbed one and continued his work.
Wang Kaixuan and Black Glasses saw this and continued. They didn't care about this kind of thing, it was just a matter of their own hands.
After all the jackals were cleaned up, the underground lake in front of me had changed greatly. The originally deep and calm lake surface was rippled, and a little fluorescent light gathered into strips of light. The light emitted was even Through the lake water, the entire cave is illuminated.
It was also at this time that Chen Ziyan and the others discovered that the cave was much larger than they thought. The end of the stone steps must be at least a few hundred meters away.
But what surprised everyone was that they did not see where the so-called entrance to the underground river was.
The entire cave is irregularly circular. Except for the island in the center of the lake where they are standing, there are some footholds close to the cave wall. However, the area is not very large, and the rest of the place is completely covered. Occupied by lake water.
Chen Ziyan looked around, then looked at the fluorescent underground lake again, and said: "Get on the raft!"
Since this water messenger really exists, then the others must also exist. , it’s just that the time has not yet matured.
The others didn't make any sense to this and all quickly got on the raft. They had a total of two rafts. One of them had a low passenger capacity for storing supplies, so there were only Wushuanggui and Black Glasses. The rest of them were On top of the other one.
The development of the matter was not beyond Chen Ziyan's expectation. Not long after they boarded the raft, the fluorescent lights in the lake began to stir.
The small light strips merged into a large light strip with a diameter of at least one meter. Then this light strip suddenly moved in one direction as if it was attracted by some kind of attraction.
Seeing that the time was right, Chen Ziyan quickly called to everyone: "Follow me!"
Immediately, the two rafts started to move one after another, following the light belt.
