Everyone watched as Chen Zhao walked into the darkness.
Everyone thought that Chen Zhao was digging his own grave.
They didn't know what exactly was inside.
But they knew how dangerous it was inside.
Two elite teams, fully armed, went in.
In the end, only one went crazy and escaped.
In the end, it wasn't injuries that caused the survivor's death, but fear.
So, to them, Chen Zhao wouldn't be able to come out alive this time.
Chen Zhao walked through the long and narrow tunnel and could see that.
This should also be the ruins of an ancient civilization.
Although Chen Zhao wasn't an archaeologist, the style here clearly wasn't the Mayan or Inca civilization that he knew of.
Chen Zhao admired the reliefs along the way.
In the development of the Mayan and Inca civilizations, their reliefs hadn't been outstanding. Most of what was left now existed in the form of murals.
But these reliefs didn't have any content, or rather, Chen Zhao couldn't understand them.
They looked like they were just decorations.
In fact, when they'd first existed, they were for decoration, not to record anything.
Chen Zhao touched the carvings. Suddenly, he noticed a patch of blood on them.
Judging from the traces on the bloodstains, this bloodstain should have only been there for a few days.
After all, the longer organic matter existed in the natural world, the more serious the decomposition.
In the natural world, bloodstains would disappear completely in less than a year with the naked eye.
Chen Zhao continued walking. The tunnel led downwards and the temperature got higher and higher. The water molecules in the air stuck to the skin, blocking the breathing of the skin and preventing the internal heat from dissipating.
In such an environment, people would gradually become dehydrated, causing their energy to slacken and become delirious.
This was a symptom of heatstroke. For people with severe heatstroke, their brain would die and they'd become idiots.
Without protective clothing, humans wouldn't be able to survive more than 12 hours in such an environment.
Even if there were no other creatures attacking them, they'd become weaker and weaker.
Even well-trained soldiers, no matter how strong they were, were mostly only good at resistance and reaction speed.
However, the environmental factors greatly weakened the reaction of these soldiers.
Chen Zhao suddenly stopped and took out the net he'd prepared.
A creature the size of a pig appeared before Chen Zhao.
The creature's limbs were short and small, and its body was a little bloated. It looked like a pig, but its mouth was full of fangs, indicating that it was definitely a carnivore.
This should be a modified wild boar.
The creature charged at Chen Zhao. The beast was fast and strong.
Chen Zhao grabbed the dog's upper jaw and flipped it onto the ground.
The net in his hand also covered the beast. The beast let out a muffled cry that sounded like a wild boar.
Just then, Chen Zhao felt more beasts coming out.
They were all attracted by the wild boar's cry.
Chen Zhao could sense that there were a lot of them. He grabbed the rope and ran out.
The wild boar monster's cries became even louder. The closer it got to the exit, the louder its cries became.
Chen Zhao was very fast, but when he was about to reach the exit, there was a gunshot outside.
Chen Zhao charged out and looked at the two soldiers with submachine guns.
"Who fired the shot just now?"
The two soldiers glanced at each other. They'd thought that some monster had charged out.
Plus, they were nervous, so they fired before they could see clearly.
They didn't expect it to be Chen Zhao who charged out, and he was dragging a monster behind him.
"Sir … I'm sorry …"
Chen Zhao went up and punched the soldier. "I'm sorry." The other soldier saw that his comrade was beaten and wanted to raise his gun.
But on second thought, he realized that they were in the wrong, so he lowered his gun.
Just then, the officers of the camp ran over.
They'd heard the gunshots and ran over.
They didn't expect to see Chen Zhao.
"Mr. Chen, you're still alive?"
Chen Zhao's face darkened. "Do you know how to talk?"
"Sorry," Paul said awkwardly. "That's not what I meant."
Chen Zhao glanced at Paul and Demi, who was standing beside him with a disappointed expression.
"I don't think he went in at all. He's just hiding at the entrance," Demi said.
"I caught this." Chen Zhao pointed at the wild boar monster in the net.
Only then did everyone realize that Chen Zhao had brought something back.
However, the wild boar monster had become very weak. The surface of its body was starting to dry up.
A light-sensitive creature? Some creatures that lived in the dark for a long time would hate or avoid light.
"What's this?"
"I'm not responsible for that. I'm only responsible for catching this creature and bringing it out," Chen Zhao said indifferently. "Also, have you prepared my payment?"
"It's just a strange creature and you want two million dollars?" Demi said in disdain.
Chen Zhao looked at Paul. "Is that your answer too?"
"Mr. Chen, please give us this creature first."
"Sorry, I can't." Chen Zhao rejected Paul's request directly. "I won't give it to you before I see the money."
Demi snorted. "This isn't a place for you to decide."
"Mr. Chen, I hope you can cooperate with us," Paul threatened vaguely.
Chen Zhao smiled and gave him the middle finger.
"Mr. Chen, I'm asking you as a military officer to give it to us."
The soldiers behind Paul had already pointed their guns at Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao smiled. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
When Chen Zhao went in, Paul thought that Chen Zhao was going to die.
But when Chen Zhao came out and caught a creature, Paul felt that Chen Zhao's asking price was too high.
Chen Zhao had caught a creature so easily and came out.
Paul felt that Chen Zhao's operation wasn't worth two million dollars.
Chen Zhao glanced at the dying wild boar monster under his feet. It had a strong reaction to light and was already silent.
Chen Zhao suddenly laughed. "I can give it to you."
"Mr. Chen, I'm in a difficult position too. I hope you won't blame me."
"Of course not," Chen Zhao said with a smile. With a smile, Chen Zhao said, "But you better be careful. Don't all die in this desert."
Paul frowned. Looking at Chen Zhao's departing figure, he was deep in thought.
