"Why is there a sandpit here?"
Not only was Zhang Zian thinking about this question, but he also said it out loud.
His soliloquy did not escape the sensitive hearing of the elfins.
"Why can't there be a sandpit? Don't talk there, hurry up and drive! Are you deliberately delaying the time? "Fina roared furiously.
"Quack! Are you an idiot? Do you have a hundred thousand whys? There are pits on the ground, stone pits on the rocks, and sand pits. Do you still need to ask? "Although Richard could not see, his mouth was not idle.
"No, the sandpit itself is not strange. What is strange is the location of the sandpit."
Zhang Zian gestured. "Look carefully."
Several ruts extended straight forward, cut off by the sandpit for a small section, and then continued to extend until the sand dunes in front of them turned.
"What's strange?"
The elfins still did not understand.
Zhang Zian analyzed. "I just rolled over this sandpit because of the visibility problem, but when Peter and the others passed here, it was daytime. There was plenty of sunlight, and the visibility was good. Why didn't they see this sandpit and went straight over it? Even if the driver of the first car was distracted and didn't see it, what happened to the other cars? Why did they go over it one after another? Did they enjoy the fun of the bumps? "
When a normal person drove, unless they didn't see it or there were other special circumstances, no one would drive into a pit. In addition to being dizzy from the bumps, it could also damage the car or cause personal injury.
Peter and the others' driving skills were not a problem, and the light and vision were good. They could obviously avoid this pit, but why did they drive into it one after another?
After he said this, the elfins also felt a little strange, but they could not figure out why.
Zhang Zian silently recalled what Fina had said, and then confirmed with it again. "You said that the ancient Egyptians used to mine gold here?"
Fina thought that he was greedy for money and wanted to take the gold mine again. It said angrily, "So what? I heard that the copper mine is associated with the gold mine, and it has long been mined out. Stop dreaming! "
"I don't intend to find gold here!" Zhang Zian argued. "But if this is the case, then the situation is not good …"
"What do you mean?" Fina asked.
Zhang Zian stared at the sandpit. "It means that this sandpit wasn't there during the day when Peter and the others passed by. It only appeared after the explosion."
Peter Lee and the others were not foolishly driving into the pit. It was just that when they drove past there, there was no pit.
"Since the mine has been mined out, there might be a hole underground that was dug out during mining. The vibration caused by the explosion damaged the structure of the mine, and the rocks on the roof were dislocated, so this pit appeared …"
The more Zhang Zian spoke, the colder his back became, and waves of coldness rushed to his head.
"Peter Lee doesn't know that there is a mine underground. If he continues to blow it up like this … the worst case scenario is that part of the area or even the whole area will collapse …"
The ancient Egyptians had no sense of environmental protection. After mining, they would not backfill the mine with rocks and sand. They probably left it as it was. Usually, this would not be a problem. After all, this place was deserted. However, no one would have thought that two thousand years later, someone would use explosives here without any scruples.
No one knew how deep the mine was under the surface. It could be tens of meters deep, or it could be a few meters deep. Two thousand years had already caused the artificial support in the mine to decay and could not withstand the tossing.
Once there was a collapse, the entire Devil's Sea might sink into the ground, along with everything on the surface. Whether it was Peter Lee and the others or Zhang Zian, they would all be involved.
The elfins finally understood. The serious consequences made them frightened.
"In that case, we must inform Peter Lee as soon as possible and let him stop. Otherwise, we will inevitably be destroyed," Old Time Tea said.
"Difficult."
Zhang Zian shook his head. "Peter Lee and the others have been planning for a long time. They have gone through a lot of hardships to get here. Not to mention that there may not be a collapse, even if it does happen, they may choose to give it their all and rush to complete their goal and evacuate before it collapses. "
"What should we do?" Famous asked. "We don't have to risk our lives with madmen, do we?"
Famous was inclined to evacuate the dangerous place first. Let them toss and turn as much as they wanted. If they died, they could not blame others. If they could come out alive, then they would settle accounts with them outside.
This was the safest plan. A gentleman would not stand under a collapsing wall.
"Whether you go or not, I will go anyway." Fina raised an objection with a cold face.
Snowy Lionet seized the opportunity to show its loyalty. "Meow meow meow! Wherever Your Majesty goes, I will follow! We are born together, and we will die together! In heaven, we will be lovebirds, and on earth, we will be lovers! "
Zhang Zian automatically ignored Snowy Lionet's noise.
Vladimir waved its fist. "It is advisable to pursue a cornered enemy bravely, not to seek fame and become a tyrant! In my opinion, right-leaning conservatism and left-leaning adventurism are not desirable. It is better to adapt to the situation, take one step at a time, and cross the river by feeling the stones! "
It meant that they were inclined to move forward, but they had to be careful. It coincided with Zhang Zian's own thoughts, so it was a half-vote.
Richard muttered, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. It doesn't matter if the ground collapses, as long as the sky does not collapse. At most, I will spread my wings and fly high. The sea is wide, the fish can jump, the sky is high, the birds can fly! But there is an idiot who may be unlucky. He can't run fast, and he can't fly … "
Zhang Zian allowed them to fully express their opinions. Because if there was a collapse, not only him, but even they could be destroyed, so they had the right to express their opinions.
Old Time Tea stroked its white beard and was silent. It was obviously in a dilemma and had to think about it repeatedly. Otherwise, one wrong step could lead to a bottomless abyss.
Now, the elfins had two and a half votes in favor, one against, one abstention, and no vote.
"Meow! Xinghai wants to go and see!"
Xinghai jumped in the back seat excitedly.
Zhang Zian didn't expect to get any useful opinions from Xinghai, so he was quite surprised to hear it.
This time, there were three and a half votes in favor of moving forward. Even if Old Time Tea voted against it out of caution, even if Pi was released to ask for its opinion, it wouldn't change the result of the vote.
"Xinghai, what do you want to see? If it's the pyramid, haven't you already seen it in Cairo? Moving forward may be dangerous, "Zhang Zian reminded it, worried that Xinghai might not understand the situation.
Xinghai tilted its head, the corners of its mouth raised, and its eyes slightly closed, as if it was smiling. "There is someone Xinghai wants to see in front."
Someone wants to see?
Zhang Zian and Fina were stunned at the same time. Was Xinghai also a fan of Cleopatra?
