Chapter 309: The Knowledge of Choice
Time passed quickly and the third day arrived. After a few refreshed people had a quick bite to eat, they set off according to the planned route.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they did not continue walking through the jungle this time, but chose a slope closer to the mountains.
As an area where mountains and forests meet, the plants on the slopes are much sparser, and the climate is also very pleasant. There is neither the heat and humidity of the jungle nor the coldness of the mountains.
After advancing in this way for about four or five hours, they arrived at a pleasantly growing flower forest at noon. There was a slowly flowing stream not far from the flower forest.
After seeing this stream, Hu Badun, who had long been familiar with the landmarks along the way, suddenly brightened up:
“This should be the Snake River that the locals often say. The waters of the Snake River are all hidden underground in an area, and there is probably only this one seedling on the ground. We are really missing out.”
Although we are no longer chasing the Snake River, we can’t ignore it if we encounter it. And this further proves that the path he deduced is correct.
When Chen Ziyan heard what he said, he glanced past the stream and towards a deep valley further away, and said, "If that's the case, that should be the entrance to the Worm Valley."
Everyone else followed his gaze after hearing this, and Wang Kaixuan even said excitedly:
"Then what are you waiting for? Practice brings true knowledge. Let's go there quickly and we will know what the situation is."
Chen Zi extended his hand to stop him, then pointed to a piece of grass next to him and said: "The valley is where we can't run. We have been walking for a long time now, and we need to take a rest at least. Besides, who knows what the situation is in the valley, so we'd better go there later."
"That's right. , then take a rest first.”
When Wang Kaixuan heard that he wanted to take a rest, he immediately agreed.
They walked from morning to now without stopping for more than four hours. Although they did not feel very tired, it was indeed time to rest.
There is no need to rush for many things. Wang Kaixuan still understands this, not to mention that he is still a little hungry.
Because they were just taking a short rest, they didn't pay too much attention to it. They found a few clean stones to use as chairs. They didn't plan to boil water for cooking, but simply ate some fast food.
After resting for about an hour, at the hottest moment of the sun, a few people set out again and headed towards the valley along the stream.
The terrain on this section of the road was getting lower and lower. When the gradually lowering terrain leveled off, they had arrived at a ruins.
Looking around, you can see that the weeds on the ground have covered most of the brick fragments, and only those buildings with too many remaining parts cannot cover it up.
Seeing such a scene in front of them, everyone was refreshed!
The ruins in front of them clearly showed one thing, they finally reached the Worm Valley.
After Chen Ziyan and the others passed through the ruins, they saw two bare small stone mountains.
Actually, these two stone mountains are said to be mountains, but in fact they are just two giant rocks, with an eye painted on each with black paint.
However, the eye pattern this time is not that of the ghost cave tribe, but a pair of human eyes. Although the composition is simple and rough, this simple painting style portrays the deep majesty extremely well. vivid.
Being looked at by such a pair of eyes, everyone felt a strange feeling in their hearts, as if they were really being watched.
When he walked to the rock, Shirley Yang suddenly said: "If I read it correctly, this should be a meteorite split into two. The frequent crashes nearby should be related to it. "Inseparable relationship."
Hu Bayi was very puzzled by this: "Although these two stones are stuck here, there should be nothing special about the rocks themselves. If they are really meteorites, this There should be a crater nearby."
In response to Hu Bayi's question, Shirley Yang directly showed her watch: "You can also look at your watch. It should no longer display it now. Time, this kind of meteorite has some unique elements that will affect electronic circuits, transistors and radio equipment. As long as they enter the range of its radiation, all electronic instruments will malfunction, so this place can be regarded as Yunnan version of the Bermuda Triangle.”
Hearing what she said, the others quickly looked at their wrists and found that it was exactly as Shirley Yang said. There was obviously nothing on the watch at this time. It has entered a state of malfunction.
Wang Kaixuan's eyes wandered back and forth between the watch and the rock, and he asked strangely: "This thing is quite magical. I don't know how much it can be sold for one tael internationally."
Although he said so He said this, but this time he was very honest with his hands and feet, and had no intention of knocking it off at all.
This surprised a few people who were familiar with him. They all thought that this guy would get some of it.
Hu Bayi, in particular, was ready to block him.
But I didn’t expect that this guy actually changed his temper. He really just watched and didn’t do anything.
Maybe Hu Bayi's performance was too obvious, so Wang Kaixuan guessed what he was thinking. The fat man raised his eyebrows at Hu Bayi slightly:
"Old Hu, what are you looking at? , Who are you looking down on!”
Wang Kaixuan said that he had been insulted and clearly asked Hu Bayi to compensate. This matter would definitely not be settled without ten meals of hotpot!
Hu Bayi naturally had nothing to be polite to him, so he said directly: "I'm just curious about why you changed your temper this time?"
According to his understanding of the fat man, no It should!
Wang Kaixuan didn't really care. Hearing this, he said nonchalantly: "What's the use of doing it? It's not like you don't know how special this thing is. Do you think this thing can really be sold?"
"Labour and management can I don’t want to be labeled randomly in the future, so let’s let Xiao Ding’s colleagues handle it.”
This is why Wang Kaixuan suppressed himself.
It was not that he had not thought of taking it as his own at first. Even though the unit price of this thing was cheap, the size in front of him was definitely worth a lot of money.
But when he figured out the most suitable use of this thing, he immediately gave up his thoughts.
He still knew more or less what things could move and what things couldn't move.
Rather than bothering with something that might be involved, he might as well find two more obvious weapons.
Hu Bayi really didn't expect this to be the reason, and immediately gave Wang Kaixuan a thumbs up: "Okay, Fatty, I didn't expect you to have such a high level of ideological awareness now. I really have not wasted all my years of hard work. Teach! ”
The praise is true, but the words change.
Wang Kaixuan spat hard when he heard this: "Bah, don't put gold on your face, you idiot!"
Wang Kaixuan then solemnly stated that his ability to have such a high ideological consciousness can only be attributed to his day-to-day moral cultivation and has nothing to do with Hu Bayi, a scumbag.
He even suspected that he would have grown better if he hadn't been with Hu Bayi all year round, causing his moral standards to be lowered.
In short, I made careless friends when I was young, and my moral upper limit was lowered. Hu Bayi's mouth twitched when he heard these words. He thought to himself that this bastard was so shameless. He felt ashamed just hearing these words. He really didn't know how this guy had the nerve to say it.
“Hey, Lao Hu, don’t feel too guilty. Fatty, you don’t understand yet. We don’t dare to boast about anything else, but I definitely didn’t say anything about my heart. I won’t blame you. "Yes." Wang Kaixuan got the advantage and behaved well. Seeing that Hu Bayi didn't say anything, he immediately started to hit the target with great satisfaction.
In the past confrontations between the two of them, he lost more than he won, and he rarely suppressed Hu Bayi like this. Now this feeling is really great.
The expression on Hu Bayi's face became even weirder after hearing this, mixed with unabashed disdain: "Fat man, I just realized today that you may not have learned anything else in the years since we have been apart, but This face is definitely at its peak."
After saying that, he bowed his hands to Wang Kaixuan in a serious manner: "I admire you, I admire you!"
After hearing these two words, Chen Ziyan was both amused and helpless by this confrontation.
Why did it start again!
He had no choice but to mediate: "Don't be too busy arguing about whether there is something or not. Let's take care of the things in front of you first."
It's not time to relax yet, even though they have gone through a lot. It’s dangerous, but in fact, we haven’t really arrived at the doorstep of our destination until now.
After interrupting the bickering between the two, Chen Ziyan did not give them a chance to continue speaking, and decisively looked at Shirley Yang to change the subject: "Shirley, have you seen this kind of meteorite before?"
As he is familiar with the plot, he naturally knows that this is a meteorite, and he also knows the ability of this meteorite.
But I can’t figure out how Shirley Yang figured this out the first time she saw it, so I asked this question,
When Shirley Yang heard Chen Ziyan's question, she said directly: "I was lucky enough to see it once before, but the one I saw that time was only the size of a palm. This is the first time I have seen such a big one."
Also I don’t know if she saw what Chen Ziyan was thinking or had some guesses about it. She continued:
“This kind of meteorite is actually not rare. It is distributed all over the world. It’s just because Its unique strategic function is unknown to ordinary people.”
The implication is very clear that this thing is not only useless for ordinary people, but it will also be very hot to the touch.
Chen Ziyan was not surprised by the answer. How could he ignore what Wang Kaixuan could think of? So after Shirley Yang finished speaking, he turned to Ding Sitian and said: "Sister Ding, wait a minute. After we come out, please find an opportunity to contact your leader.”
Since Shirley Yang said so, Chen Ziyan naturally lost interest in this thing.
But now that we have encountered something like this, we can’t just leave it here. Handing it over directly is undoubtedly the best choice.
But sometimes, it’s also a matter of who to hand things over to.
It stands to reason that he is now cooperating with the Crescent Hotel. There are people from the Crescent Hotel outside, and Zhang Dafoye, the master behind the Crescent Hotel, happens to be one of the big bosses in the military at this time.
If you consider these aspects, it is a good choice to hand things directly to Crescent Hotel.
But Chen Ziyan didn't want to do this. Although he didn't show it, it didn't mean that he didn't see that since they came back from Longling, everything they did seemed to be controlled by someone behind the scenes.
Although Chen Ziyan can only pretend to know nothing now due to his own strength and intelligence issues, he already has several targets of suspicion in his heart, and the strongest Zhang Dafo in the Nine Sects is one of them. One, so he must take this into consideration.
Not to mention that Jiumen is too deeply entangled with the ‘other organization’ and the Wang family. This alone cannot let this thing take this line.
Otherwise, he might end up in the hands of someone. He didn’t want someone to use it against him one day.
Although he is not too afraid, he will definitely feel uncomfortable when the time comes, so it is better to nip it in the bud.
In view of these considerations, Chen Ziyan finally chose the forces behind Ding Sitian.
Based on his current understanding of that force, just because of its particularity, the people above will not allow that department to be interfered with randomly, so it is completely guaranteed that this meteorite will be used in the right place.
Ding Sitian was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll do it after we come out."
She was thinking just now, even if she can't take down the entire meteorite , and also help your leaders win some shares.
You must know that even if their department does not use this thing, it can still be exchanged for a considerable amount of resources.
But I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly, and now I have them all.
If it weren’t for the fact that there was no way to contact the outside world, Ding Sitian would have wanted to report immediately.
Qiang Zi suppressed the excitement in her heart, and Ding Sitian silently decided that she would never take this gift in vain, and she would definitely have to get a worthy return gift when the time comes.
After all, she is now also a member of the archaeological team and cannot do anything partisan.
Chen Ziyan didn't know about Ding Sitian's psychological activities, but even if he knew, he would probably just laugh it off.
He never cared much about these things.
After solving the problem of meteorite arrangement in a few words, Chen Ziyan turned his attention to the valley behind the meteorite.
Standing here and looking inside, I didn't find anything unusual.
At most, the vegetation inside is more lush than outside, but this also makes the valley more narrow and difficult to navigate, but this is not a problem for them.
"Master Chen, are we going in now?" Hu Bayi asked after noticing Chen Ziyan's gaze.
Chen Ziyan nodded lightly: "Let's go in now. Even if we can't find the place represented by the toad symbol, we still have to find a suitable camp before dark."
It is already afternoon, they can We don't have much time to use, so we naturally have to seize it.
But everyone knew very well that it would be difficult for them to gain anything from these few hours alone. Most of them would have to stay overnight, so Chen Ziyan's words were not surprising.
"Okay, just wait for what you say, Mr. Chen. Come on, leave it to Fatty to open the way!"
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he jumped to the front of the team. , holding the knife in his hand with an eager expression.
As the pioneer in the team, Wang Kaixuan enjoys his job very much. The feeling of swinging the sword freely makes him feel like he has returned to his childhood.
