After meeting up with the expedition team, the rest of the matter was much easier to handle. Zhang Zian and Wei Kang waited for He He's parents to arrive. They watched as the old couple tearfully took He He away and brought her back to China for psychiatric treatment. They could only hope that she hadn't gone too far and could be saved.
Before they left, they thanked the Bedouin people for taking care of them for the past few days. They also asked the Bedouin people to complete their unfinished task — to collect the white skeleton in the desert and to search for anything that could prove the identity of the skeleton.
They said goodbye to Nabari and Salem and sincerely invited the uncle and nephew to visit China when they had the opportunity. Nabari was probably unlikely and had no interest in doing so, but Salem was still young and would have plenty of opportunities in the future.
Zhang Zian also deliberately pulled Salem aside and stuffed a piece of paper into his hand. There were a few mysterious numbers written on it. Even if Salem repeatedly asked what they were, Zhang Zian always smiled and did not answer, letting him find the answer himself.
Next, they drove back to Cairo.
Wei Kang and three male disciples took the data and video materials of this expedition to Cairo University to conduct in-depth academic exchanges with their peers. They also entrusted their peers to go to the desert to pick up the GPS neck ring of the fennec fox a year later. Their peers gave Wei Kang a very high evaluation of his results.
Zhang Zian drove the family SUV that Lazart had lent him to use. He washed the car and filled it with oil before returning it to Lazart personally. He thanked Lazart for his generosity and the help of the siblings. He also invited them to visit China when they had the opportunity.
Lazart had already made their custom-made jewelry and handed it to Zhang Zian to pass on to others.
After doing all this, there were basically not many regrets about this trip to Egypt. The remaining regrets could not be easily resolved. After all, they could not continue to delay in Egypt. They did not have the funds, and there were still many things waiting for them at home.
On the plane, when the Great Pyramid passed under their feet again, Zhang Zian's heart suddenly surged with reluctance. Although there were many things to complain about Egypt, this experience had still left a very deep impression. This was probably the common feeling of most tourists.
He had completed his main task and left the Holy Cat statue in the Golden Pyramid, sharing the same hall with the many stone and bronze statues of the Animal Gods. Presumably, it would not be happy, and it would be impossible for it to cause trouble again. Even the Golden Pyramid itself had sunk into the ground, so it would not be easily found and opened.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that there were still a lot of light sticks and shell casings left in the tower. He wondered what archaeologists would think when they entered the pyramid hundreds of years later and saw the light sticks and shell casings …
Fina had already fallen asleep on the seat next to him. As for leaving Egypt, it was more open-minded than Zhang Zian had imagined. Perhaps it had fulfilled its wish in Egypt, or at least kept its wish and hope.
Wei Kang typed out a detailed report on the expedition on his laptop. He planned to submit it to the school when he got back.
Although he had generally completed the scientific research task and received praise from his Egyptian counterparts, Wei Kang did not seem very happy. He was very sorry to He He and her parents, and he took the initiative to take responsibility. He He's parents, however, did not want him to say anything. In the report, they only wrote that she was sick because she was not acclimatized. Because mental problems were still looked at in China, they were worried that it would affect her future studies and life.
Gao Ke, Xiao Tianyu, and Du Xuetao, the three brothers from the same sect, had become strangers after coming out of the desert. They only maintained minimal cooperation and communication when writing reports. Presumably, when they met in the research room in the future, they would inevitably be embarrassed.
Peter Lee and the others had not appeared, and they did not know if they had successfully escaped the desert. This time, they had suffered a huge setback, but with their heads full of theories, they would probably not learn their lesson. If they were still alive, they would definitely persist in looking for the next secret land that contained pure cosmic energy, and they would definitely try to spread their fallacies to more people. But this had nothing to do with Zhang Zian. After all, their main activities were abroad, and domestic laws could not control them.
Not long after takeoff, the land of Egypt disappeared from the porthole. Zhang Zian could not resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, the plane had already landed on the land of China. He was too tired, and he slept too deeply. It was Wei Kang who woke him up.
Next, there was another transfer, and he took a domestic flight to Binhai City. At Binhai Airport, he said goodbye to the others — although some people did not wish so in their hearts — and then went their separate ways.
The taxi arrived at the pet shop.
Zhang Zian paid the fare and stopped for a while before getting out of the car. He watched the customers go in and out of the pet shop and the aquarium. They went in empty-handed and left with pet food or pet boxes. Everything was not much different from when he was here. He could not help but smile. It seemed that the grand goal of becoming a boss who did not have to do anything was not far away.
Some regulars recognized him, but more regulars didn't recognize him. They first recognized Fina and Famous, then guessed his identity.
As for the reason …
When he stepped into the pet shop, Wang Qian, who was sitting and playing with his phone, lazily looked up at him and casually asked, "Brother Black, what would you like to see?"
That's right. Although he tried to wear a baseball cap or a fisherman's hat when he went out in Egypt, and he also applied sunscreen, it was inevitable that he would be tanned. He was tanned and red, which was different from the others.
The biggest lesson from this trip was not to go to Egypt in the summer.
He used to call himself the "Jade-Faced Scholar." Now that he had become the Black Whirlwind, it was no wonder that many regular customers could not recognize him.
Zhang Zian bent his knuckles and gave Wang Qian a hard knock, then picked up the remote control and turned off the air conditioner.
"Master! You're back! We missed you so much! That … Why did you turn off the air conditioner as soon as you came back? The weather is so hot! " Li Kun changed the direction of the wind. Although he did not recognize Zhang Zian at first, his habitual stinginess was easier to recognize than his skin color.
"Hot my foot! It's so cool, and you still want to turn on the air conditioner? It's not like I'm wasting the electricity in your house! "Zhang Zian's face was serious, and he did not accept the argument.
"Cool?"
Wang Qian and Li Kun looked at each other. The temperature was already over 30 degrees. Was that considered cool? How many degrees was considered hot?
Being in the northern hemisphere, Binhai City, of course, had also entered summer. In June, the heat in Shenzhen City had already begun to show its power.
"What a cool weather! The wind is whooshing … "
Zhang Zian closed his eyes and praised her sincerely.
Wang Qian and Li Kun's hearts were cold. They seemed to have some kind of premonition that this summer would be very difficult …
