Wei Kang and the others had reluctantly accepted the explanation that the loud noise originated from an earthquake. They felt that it might be a mini earthquake with loud thunder but little rain. However, after hearing the second loud noise, everyone could not remain calm. What kind of earthquake was so regular? The direction and volume of the sound source were almost the same. It did not seem to be a natural sound.
"This … What's going on? Or is it an earthquake? "
They looked at each other suspiciously.
Wei Kang was also speechless.
The members of the expedition team were all intelligent people with high academic qualifications. Their IQ might not be higher than that of ordinary people, but it was at least not worse than that of ordinary people. It was just that they had been living in an ivory tower for a long time and lacked some experience. If they were given more time, they would definitely be able to figure out the truth.
"It's not an earthquake. There's no such earthquake," Zhang Zian said. "I think Peter Lee and the others are using explosives to blow something up."
"Explosives?"
As if a thin layer of window paper had been pierced, everyone's faces changed dramatically. They were sweating heavily in the cool night wind.
Considering the various performances of Peter Lee and the others, the explanation of explosives was the most reasonable.
The expedition team had not brushed shoulders with death, but had been walking with it!
"What the f * ck? Peter Lee and the others are a group of terrorists? "Xiao Tianyu obviously thought wrong.
Gao Ke scolded, "If terrorists want to blow something up, they would blow up a big city. How can they blow up birds in the desert?"
"Stop arguing! You're still arguing at a time like this! "
Wei Kang was angry and scared. Even his lips were trembling. He stomped his foot heavily to stop the two from bickering.
He wiped his cold sweat with his sleeve, gritted his teeth, and said, "Now, go back to the camp and pack up. We're leaving."
"We're not waiting for them?"
He He suddenly spoke. Her frail body looked very weak in the night.
"We're not waiting! They're a group of ambitious people. They must be doing something unspeakable in the Devil's Sea. When they come out, they might even kill us! "Wei Kang said angrily.
"Yes! Let's go first and leave the desert. Don't be associated with Peter Lee and the others! "Xiao Tianyu echoed. He had been looking forward to leaving for a long time.
Gao Ke saw He He standing there in a daze and thought she was still asleep. He reached out to pull her, but she avoided him.
"You guys go. I want to stay."
Her voice was not loud, but her tone was unusually calm.
"What?"
Everyone else was stunned, thinking that they had misheard.
It should be known that He He was the first to give up. She regretted it the first night she entered the desert. She even cried and made a fuss about going home. The others had only managed to coax her out of it after much persuasion. Now, she was taking the initiative to stay. Was she out of her mind?
He He looked up at the night sky and raised her hands as if she was intoxicated, as if she wanted to hug the stars. She murmured, "Don't you feel it? This … is rich and pure cosmic energy … "
To be honest, when they realized that the loud noise was caused by the explosion, everyone only felt shock and fear. There was a sense of powerlessness after surviving a disaster. But He He's actions and tone were exactly the same as Peter Lee's, making everyone feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"Xiao He … you … what's wrong with you? Don't scare us! "
Gao Ke, who was strong and strong, retreated in front of He He, who was much weaker than him. He looked at her as if he didn't know her at all.
He He chuckled and used her fingers to tuck a strand of messy hair behind her ear. This action was very much like that of a gentle girl. If it was any other day, the three boys would have been mesmerized. But at this moment, it was as if they had seen a female ghost.
"I'm not scaring you. I just found a new direction in life and feel more fulfilled than ever." She smiled at Wei Kang. "Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Wei. Thank you for taking care of me for so long, but I'm not suited for scientific research. You've noticed, right? You're not young anymore. You have to participate in scientific research and take us with you, and we keep giving you trouble. I'm really sorry … When you return to China, help me cancel my student status. The reason is … excessive truancy? As for my parents … I will find a way to explain it to them. You don't have to worry about it. "
Since the first time Zhang Zian met He He in Wei Kang's office, she had never been so polite.
A scholar who had been away for three days should be looked at in a different light.
People change, but the speed of He He's change was … too amazing and scary, and this series of changes happened under everyone's eyes.
In the past two days, she had been quiet and calm, often showing a thoughtful look. Everyone thought that the journey had made her grow up …
Now it seemed that she had indeed grown up. She had successfully grown up.
"Xiao He, how did you … How did you become like this? What's wrong with you? If you have any difficulties, I can try my best to help you solve them … "Wei Kang was heartbroken, almost begging her.
"I'm fine. I've never been better, and I don't have any difficulties … Oh, if it's possible, leave me a car. I also want to follow in Peter's footsteps into the Devil's Sea. The cosmic energy there must be stronger," He He said lightly. "If it's not possible, I will walk in on my own."
The calm and sincere expression on her face was familiar to Zhang Zian. It was the same expression he had seen on Peter's face when he walked into the Queen's tomb in the Great Pyramid.
"Did … the female detective instill something in you?" He vaguely guessed.
Only the female detective had this opportunity to eat and live with He He. She even accompanied her to the toilet and took good care of her. In the eyes of outsiders, she was like a warm and caring big sister … But during the day and in the camp at night, only God knew what the female detective had said to her in private.
"Traveling with the female detective, I learned a lot from her, more than what I learned in the past 20 years. The years before seemed to have been wasted … But it doesn't matter. If I can learn the truth in the morning, I can die without regrets."
He He showed a martyr's smile and sidestepped to the side. "If you want to go, you should quickly pack your things! Right, Teacher Wei, congratulations on achieving in-progress results. When your masterpiece is published, I will definitely read it well! "
Wei Kang would never have thought that the outcome of this operation would be like this. If he had known, he really would not have agreed to Peter's invitation. He would rather the expedition be abandoned halfway than end up like this.
Nabari's eyes widened, and he stared at He He in horror. He kept stepping back, muttering, "Devil … She has been possessed by the devil …"
Zhang Zian looked sideways at the Devil's Sea, which was shrouded in darkness. He could no longer secretly laugh at Nabari's superstitious thoughts.
Perhaps the devil really existed, a devil that even someone as strong as Vladimir could not defeat.
The real devil was in people's hearts.
