Chapter 30: The Rainstorm

There are so many mysteries that Professor Liu doesn't even want to think about them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Huh?" a drop of cold water fell and smashed right on Professor Liu's face, "Is it going to rain?" raised his head to look at the sky, and it was indeed a little gloomy, muttering in a low voice, beckoning the team members to pack up the things outside into the tent.

"It's going to rain, it's still raining, it's going to be flooded in a low place, but don't worry, you have chosen a good place, it's not in the woods, you can't drown. Wang Laohan said with a grin.

Do you still need to say this? Ye Chen, who was moving things, couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, if you don't camp in this place, don't you go to a high place, can you stick to a low place?

It was really a sudden rainstorm, the sun was shining just now, and now the rain is pouring down, and the water is flowing.

The archaeological team members shrunk in tents, some slept with their heads covered, some turned on the computer and watched the movie, and some held the novel and read it with relish.

Professor Liu lifted the tent open a small crack, and a few drops of water jumped in from time to time, and when there was too much rain, it would naturally flow out to the lower level, forming a small pool of water at the low place.

The heavy rain crackled down, the sound became louder and louder, and the more Professor Liu listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, only the sound of rain, only the sound of water, and other than that, he could not hear any sound.

No frogs, no birds, no ...... It's not normal, like a dead and silent world, where there are only people and plants.

Professor Liu's gaze inadvertently swept over the ground, but he saw a particularly strange phenomenon, there were more than one low-lying places in the dense forest, but the streams formed by the accumulation of rainwater seemed to deliberately bypass those places, constantly converging together and flowing farther away.

Professor Liu's eyes were fixed, and the next moment, he stepped on his rain boots, put on a raincoat, and took an umbrella, and the action was almost completed in an instant, and then he rushed out of the tent.

"Where are you going, professor?" He Yuxi hurriedly asked, it was too late to pull it, but the rain was too loud, and he didn't know if he heard it.

"Really, I'll chase it out and take a look, you don't want to follow, don't look at what the weather is, and look for Professor Wu in advance!" Professor Xu's tone was not good, it was raining so heavily, so he rushed out so recklessly, looking for death? However, the movements of his hands were not slow, he put on a raincoat, carried an umbrella and followed.

"Professor, you haven't changed your shoes yet?" He Yuxi shouted as she stood at the door of the tent.

"No change!" Professor Xu's voice came through the heavy rain, much weaker, but it was still clear to people.

Professor Liu stepped on the rainwater, following the direction of the rainwater into a stream, running deep and shallow, and the rain soon overflowed his ankles.

wiped a handful of rain from his face, and looked at Professor Liu who was still running in front of him, Professor Xu shouted: "Don't run so fast, I can't keep up, besides, if you run any longer, you will get lost!"

Probably because of Professor Xu's shouting, Professor Liu really stopped, ignoring the rushing rain on the ground, squatted down directly, and put his hand into the rain.

"What are you doing?" When Professor Xu panted and followed, it was this scene that caught his eye.

"Tell me first, where do the trees in Menangai belong to?" Professor Liu's hand kept swimming in the rain.

"Why are you asking this? Menangay is located in Africa, so there should be more tropical plants, and there are also temperate ones!" Professor Xu didn't understand what was the use of Professor Liu's question?

"Tropical plants, Menangay is located in the crater, the temperature is a little higher, it is not surprising that tropical plants can grow here in all seasons, correspondingly, the more lush the plants grow, the more animals will inhabit them, and the biological chain will become larger and larger!" Professor Liu's hand retracted from the rain, looking like he had no gain.

"What are you looking for?" Professor Xu couldn't help but ask.

"Fallen leaves, withered yellow fallen leaves, or leaves bitten by insects, but I can't find them!" Professor Liu paused and said, "Let's go, let's go back!"

"Didn't find it?" Professor Xu glanced back, really, the rain was flowing on the ground, it was very clear, and there were no fallen leaves floating on it, and the water where Liu Jiao was squatting just now was a little muddy, which was caused by the soil on the surface that he had just turned with his hands.

"Not only that, but I don't see any animals here, I haven't seen even half of the mosquitoes and flies that have always been thought to be ubiquitous, we are in a dense forest, this phenomenon is not normal at all, from the moment I entered the crater to now, I have seen an owl!" Professor Liu said as he walked back.

After Professor Liu said this, Professor Xu also felt that something was wrong, this dense forest seemed to have only trees, and there were almost no animals in sight, at least, along the way, he didn't see a spider's web, he didn't see ......

"You definitely didn't come out for this one thing, right?" Professor Xu knew Professor Liu's temperament, just for this one thing, the other party would not run out in the rain at all, because whether there were animals in the dense forest or not had little to do with them.

"Look carefully at the place where the rain flows, someone artificially guides the rain to flow in a certain direction, although the traces are not obvious, and they are deliberately disguised, but they are not naturally formed after all, you can see it if you look closely!" Professor Liu lowered his voice and his eyes fell on the flowing rain.

Professor Xu was more concerned about this question, turned his head, and looked into the distance through the dense curtain of water, which was the direction in which the water flowed, but only saw the trees.

"There is a ditch in that direction, the one where we found Wang Laohan. Professor Liu's eyes were complicated, he never imagined that the rain would eventually lead to that ditch.

"Let's go, go back!" Professor Xu reached out and patted Professor Liu's shoulder in the rain, thinking, there should be nothing wrong now, right?

"Okay, go back, hurry up!" Professor Liu walked very fast, and in the blink of an eye, only one back remained.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, my newly bought shoes!" Professor Xu glanced at the shoes soaked in the water: "I should have known that I shouldn't have replaced those special shoes for the field, but, to be honest, the quality of these shoes is not good!"

"Professor, Professor, you're back!" After a long distance from the tent, he saw Ye Chen standing at the door of the tent, waving his hand.

"Okay, let's go!" Professor Liu came back first, said Ye Chen with a smile, and took off the raincoat on his body by the way, the raincoat was wet and dripping with water.

"It's raining so hard!" Professor Xu also entered the tent, took off his raincoat, and wiped the rain off his face with a towel.

"What are you doing?" asked Wang Laohan in a low voice out of nowhere, but his eyes kept looking at the dripping raincoat.
