"So unlucky. We actually met them."
The three cursed as they ran. Black-Ma and White-Ma were not afraid of the wind and rain. They continued throwing a tantrum in the rain, getting muddy all over.
Just then, the three saw a cave before them.
"Let's go hide from the rain."
When the three ran into the cave, there were already people inside.
Crack —
More than ten guns were aimed at the three. The three immediately raised their hands in fear.
"Uh … Put down your guns." Carlo waved his hand.
The exploration team saw clearly too. It was Chen Zhao and the other two.
"You three, I didn't think we'd meet again."
The three of them were so scared that they peed their pants. Even Chen Zhao couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't die if they were shot by a dozen automatic assault rifles.
"Come in. It's raining so heavily. You have nowhere to go."
The forest was in a warm zone. The air was humid and with the rain, one would lose water quickly. Water would also take away heat.
No matter how strong a person was, they would collapse in the rain after one night.
"Thank you. We thank you."
They'd avoided the team before, but who would've thought that they'd run into them here again?
They could only force themselves to enter the cave. After all, they really had nowhere to hide.
"Come and take off your jackets. Let them dry," Carlo said considerately.
The three's jackets were waterproof, but it was indeed uncomfortable to keep wearing them.
The three took off their jackets. Just then, the tall woman saw Chen Zhao's body and whistled.
"What a great body."
Risfar and Dell didn't want to admit defeat. They actually had great bodies too.
However, Chen Zhao's body was really beautiful. Fannity couldn't stop drooling when she saw Chen Zhao's lines.
However, Fannity's words made her friends unhappy. A man in a tank top glanced at Chen Zhao. "So what if he's beautiful? He probably can't even take one punch from me."
"Alright, it's just two years of medium heavyweight boxing. What's there to be proud of beating a layman?" Fannity glared at her friends.
Chen Zhao couldn't be bothered with them. He sat beside the fire and warmed himself.
Carlo brought the three a bottle of wine. "Here, drink some vodka. It'll warm you up."
The three took a few sips and indeed felt much warmer.
"Are you sure you're not a criminal gang?"
"As I said, we are a private exploration team. Of course, you can also call it a treasure exploration team." Carlo smiled.
"What are you looking for here?" Chen Zhao asked curiously.
Although this place was deep in the forest, it was only 100 kilometers away from the city. What kind of treasure could be found so close to a densely populated area?
"I can't tell you about that." Carlo smiled.
"Where have you been before?"
"I've been to many places, almost all six continents," Carlo said.
"But you're holding guns and knives. Will you be in danger?" Risfar asked curiously.
"Let me tell you a story." At this time, a middle-aged man said, "It happened 12 years ago. At that time, there weren't many people in our team. It was just me, Professor Carlo, and four other guys. We found an ancient Indian ruin in Australia …"
"What ruins are there in Australia?" Risfar asked, confused.
In his impression, the Australian Indian tribes had always been relatively backward, even primitive, before Western civilization settled in.
Their greatest building was probably the tree shed.
"Don't ask me," the middle-aged man said. "We're an exploration team, not an archaeological team. Professor Carlo can explain it clearly."
The middle-aged man glanced at Professor Carlo and continued, "The relic was underground. From the craftsmanship and structure of the buildings, the level of civilization should be close to the ancient Egyptian civilization of 3,000 years ago. We explored the relic until we reached the deepest part. We found a fist-sized blue diamond."
"Haha … That's crazy. A fist-sized blue diamond?" Dell laughed loudly.
"Okay, if you don't believe me, just pretend it's a story." The middle-aged man had a good temper. He continued, "At that time, we were ecstatic. Just as we were about to come out with the gem, we encountered an incomprehensible creature. It was a six-legged reptile with a slender body. Then, they started attacking us crazily.
"We weren't well-equipped at the time. There were six of us, and we only had four pistols and a few sabers. We started to run for our lives, and the monsters chased us relentlessly. I don't know who triggered the mechanism, but the entire underground ruin began to collapse. In the end, Professor Carlo and I escaped, but the other four companions, along with the blue diamond, never saw the light of day again."
Risfar and Dell didn't believe it. "Professor Carlo, is what he said true?"
"That's not the only case," Carlo said. Professor Carlo said, "Although it sounds strange to you ordinary people, we've been traveling all over the years, and we've encountered more than one strange thing. For example, once our team accepted an invitation from the Chinese government to participate in the exploration of a crypt. We encountered plants that attacked people, and we lost three people that time."
"Is it really that scary?"
"Another time, we found an imperial mausoleum in Thailand. There, we encountered some mummified dolls. Those mummified dolls also attacked us."
"Then what are you looking for here this time?"
"Do you know that this forest used to be a weapon experiment site 60 years ago?"
The three shook their heads. They'd never heard of it.
"We received a piece of information from a madman in a mental hospital. Back then, when the military was conducting weapons experiments here, they accidentally blew up a crypt. Terrifying creatures began to emerge from the crypt. Those creatures attacked the military camp. Less than one-tenth of them survived, and almost all of them suffered from mental illness."
"You're saying that we're in that weapon experiment site?" Dell swallowed, his smile stiff.
"Those creatures seem to be territorial, or they're limited by some reason, so they can't go too far from the cave. As long as we don't go too far, we'll be fine. The deeper we go, the more creatures there are."
Woof, woof, woof —
Just then, Black-Ma and White-Ma suddenly started barking outside the cave.
Chen Zhao immediately stood up and walked to the entrance. Black-Ma and White-Ma were barking into the darkness.
"Black-Ma, White-Ma, did you find something?"
