Chapter 82: Smelling Marta

Keya's scientific research spirit is indeed admirable, and it is no wonder that Mr. Bai has always supported her so much, especially compared with Daisy's extravagant style in the past, Keya is even more desirable. As for Hans, he had a good impression of her, and in the course of getting along with her in these days, he found many of her advantages, so he naturally appreciated her more. Xiao An, of course, has no opinion. It's just that when she thought that her teammates were still missing, she couldn't accompany the Bai couple to continue their scientific research journey with peace of mind.

Probably seeing Xiao An and Hans's thoughts, Mr. Bai asked Keya to explain it to the two of them.

"I'm sorry, I should have made it clear to you from the beginning!" Keya has been busy with her own business these days, so she ignored the existence of the two, and she said apologetically, "You may wonder why we have different goals, but we still have to be tied together. Actually, no, I've heard that you're an expedition from the university, and there are a lot of researchers in it, right? So, don't always think that I'm just busy with my own business, what I'm doing is actually closely related to you, and when necessary, you should also fully support me! ”

"Okay, we can support you, then you can tell us where you and our common goals are?" Xiao An asked.

"I've always been interested in extraterrestrial civilizations, but I don't have many professionals around me, and even if I do, they all advise me not to study these things all the time, and often pour cold water on me. Instead of doing this, it is better to study what you can see in front of you. But I don't, I just want to realize my dream as soon as possible. Life is short enough, I don't-"

"Eh, ma'am, when you have a lot of time to talk about your dreams, just talk to me alone. People are waiting for you to hear the conclusion! Let's just say that you want to tell people, at least let them know what your purpose is! Mr. Bai interrupted his wife.

"Oh, I'm sorry, look at me, when it comes to my dreams. You can't close the gates! ”

"It's okay, you go on, I'm quite interested! Isn't it, Hans? "Xiao An is really concerned about Keya's dream. So at the end I asked Hans again, thinking that he should not be disgusted.

"Of course! Miss Keya is a practical person, and her dream will definitely come true! Hans chimed in.

"Okay, then I'll briefly explain my dream first!"

It turned out that the couple actually came prepared. Although there are a lot of coincidences in this. If Xiao An hadn't called Mr. Bai in the first place, maybe they wouldn't have thought of investigating the origin of Xiao An and the others. Of course, these investigations are all well-intentioned, and for Kaya, she is mainly only about her teammates on the expedition, why only Xiao An and Hans are still here, and the rest have not been accounted for yet. On the other hand, she is actually more anxious to find them than Xiao An, because only those talented team members have been found. It is possible to help yourself realize your dreams as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Xiao An and Hans are not professionals in this area, at most they are only enthusiastic, but there is not much real technology. Therefore, Keya formulated a detailed plan for everyone, and also introduced a lot of professional knowledge to the two of them in this area to help them improve their ability level in this area as soon as possible. The purpose is to stop looking around like headless flies, otherwise, in that case, the century may have passed, and those teammates have not been found.

Unless. They showed up on their own.

And for now, it is clearly not the time to wait. That's human life, and human life can't afford to wait.

"I don't know, I'm talking about this. Do you already have a general understanding? Khaya unfolded the self-made map for the two of them, marking every "suspicious" place on it, and at this time, the two of them were concentrating on these unique maps.

"Do you understand?"

Seeing that the two didn't answer her immediately, she asked again.

"Oh! I see! We're just obsessed with your elaborate map, and a lot of the places on it look interesting! The two watched and admired.

"Interesting? Hum. I guess by the time you go, you'll know that many of the places on my map aren't just interesting! "Keya is like an expert in front of the two, and her husband Ze is willing to do her more logistics, what she needs, he will prepare for her.

Oops, it's good to meet such a confidant partner, this life is enough.

"I'll be honest with you," Koya continued, "Actually, I didn't dare take you there because I was worried that you two weren't familiar with the terrain. Originally, I had a few more places to go, but considering that they were too dangerous, I dismissed this idea for the time being. Let's get the consent of both of you first, and it's never too late to go! ”

"Oh-" Hans suddenly realized, "you mean that it's very likely that our teammates are in those dangerous areas, and if we're going to get into them, we can't do it without two hits." Don't you mean that? ”

"That's right! You finally get the idea! Keya smiled very happily, "Then, let's stop talking nonsense, time is precious, we can't joke with the lives of our companions, let's start acting!" ”

"Good! Everything is under your command! ”

Ann and Hans feel lucky to have met Keya, both for themselves and as companions.

Although Keya is relatively professional, for those unknown and unpredictable things, in addition to relying on reliable data, she sometimes needs a certain amount of premonition and guesswork. Moreover, a qualified scientific explorer, in addition to having a bold adventurous spirit, must always remind himself to avoid certain risks. Therefore, she originally wanted to go back to Africa to have a good survey, but she temporarily canceled this decision, thinking that it would be more reliable to search in Australia first, which would also save time.

A few days later, under the leadership of Keya, everyone came to a place with relatively few people living in a relatively sparsely populated area.

"Is there still this place in Australia?"

After arriving here, Xiao An was obviously a little dizzy, fortunately she could understand the map of Keya, and fortunately, she had been following everyone, otherwise, she would probably fall behind with everyone.

"Just because you haven't been here doesn't mean there isn't one in this world! Comrade Xiao An, you just follow everyone well, don't get lost! ”

Hans instructed her. After waiting for a while, I saw that she didn't hear back for a long time, so I hurriedly looked back. It turned out that the sisters were looking at the map again, so he was angry:

"How many times have I told you? Let's just lose a few more people, how can we rely on each other? Can't you just put your map away first? Did you know? As soon as you bow your head, you are likely to be separated from everyone! Put away that thing that's in the way! Now is not the time to look at the map! ”

"Yes, Miss An, we will have a special time to look at the map, and if you want to see the map, just ask me! I'm the living map! I can take you wherever you want! Keya assured her.

"Yes! It's good to believe in Keya. She drew this map, and you can't go wrong! It's really not good, you just take a picture of these and watch them with your mobile phone, otherwise, every time you unfold this big sheet, it's really easy to distract you and fall behind with us! Mr. Bai also persuaded himself.

Seeing that everyone cared about themselves so much, Xiao An was embarrassed, "Look at me, it doesn't look like I'm going out to explore at all, it's so unprofessional!" I'm going to put the map away. Forgive me, for I have never been entrusted with such a task. ”

So several people continued to follow Keya to explore in this area, on the one hand, to find out the whereabouts of their teammates, and on the other hand, to find the existence of alien civilizations.

According to the information found by Keya, this place has been trained by aliens in the past.

So when it was time for dinner, Mr. Bai remembered this and asked his wife, "By the way, will the aliens you have been talking about still here?" ”

Hearing her husband's question, Keya temporarily put down the food in her hand. "This is not certain, in the eyes of the public they are gone. But who knows if they still exist in those places that can't be seen? For example, those people in the earth, many people on the land have never seen it. But just because they haven't seen it means they don't exist? So, if we know that there is still some secret control somewhere, but we still insist on provoking and encroaching, isn't that a cover-up? At that time, we may really not be able to eat and go around! ”

Well, what Keya said is not unreasonable.

Xiao An was also eating and listening and thinking about the conversation between the two. It is not difficult to understand what Keya meant, she wants to carefully explore those alien civilizations first. If they've already left the place, that's fine. If there are still some remnants of the arrangement to continue to monitor the earthlings on the ground, then it is necessary to stay away first, and when the exact strength of the other party is detected, it is not too late to attack Huanglong. Of course, there may be some kinder aliens, although they are greedy for the wealth of the earth, but they do not have any threat and hatred to mankind.

"Comrades, have you ever thought about what if someone sets a trap for us?" After these days, Hans's professionalism and thinking have become stronger and stronger: "Maybe we think we are well prepared. But Keya, tell us honestly, how many times have you been to this place before? Even if you can come here a few times a year or six months, how much time can you spend here? Can there be more than the people who live here? So, what I'm thinking about now is not afraid that our equipment and preparation are not sufficient, but that our opponents are too strong! ”

His words really scared the remaining three people.

"What then? Who made this our mission? I can't help but go! Anyway, for me, it was already very troublesome for Daisy to be in the first place, so I am not afraid of more thrills and excitement! Isn't life made up of tears and laughter? If you don't do that, you won't be able to realize your own existence! "Mr. Bai seems to be cheering everyone on.

In fact, at this time, it doesn't matter whether it's encouragement or blowing. Because, in the current situation, you have to advance, and if you don't enter, you have to advance. There may be many such situations in the future, as long as everyone can keep their future existence.

Hans has been strange these days.

He seems to have been looking for some materials, but he is always mysterious and secretive, and he doesn't tell anyone what he is doing.

"What are you doing, Hans? Does it have anything to do with us? Mr. Bai asked him that day, when he saw that Hans was again tinkering with his information and the stuff he didn't know what it was.

"Oh, actually, I'm researching whether there are invisibility cloaks and lenses to find out in this world. Because I was afraid that you would laugh at me and delay the progress of my research, I didn't say it! ”

"And how are you doing now?" Mr. Bai then asked.

Hans didn't speak, just shook his head helplessly.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Bai smiled heartily, "You have a good idea, I guess you must be worried that there are aliens mysteriously controlling us, so you came up with this idea, right?" ”

"Huh. You're god! I can even read minds! Hans was naturally glad to meet his soulmate, "If only you could read the heart of an alien!" ”

"Ouch, then I don't have that ability! I don't even know what people and parents look like. I can't catch it, I'll read people's hearts! ”

The two seem to have a good conversation.

But they have a point. In case, the alien has never left, and we don't know the human being with the naked eye, then the person is killed in front of the nose. It's impossible for people to know.

This point, how it looks like a ghost, it feels scary to think about.

And the ghost is just a few supernatural powers, if there really is such a high-IQ and evil alien, with the current level of earthlings, it really can't be dealt with.

"Well, otherwise, we'll go home. In case a few of us don't find our teammates and beat ourselves in, it will be more than worth the loss! Xiao An began to retreat.

"What are you talking about?" The first person to be surprised and shocked was Hans. "Who has been blowing the wind in my ears at the beginning, saying that you must put others before yourself, so as to be worthy of God's love. Why, don't you want this love now? It's not like you can just come and go! Anyway, there are just a few of us here, if you really want to leave, no one will give them away, and they won't stop you. But if something happens to you along the way, don't even think about contacting everyone again! It's not that we're ruthless. It's that the signal here is so poor, it's hard to contact you! ”

After listening to Hans's "intimidation", Xiao An became even more depressed.

"Xiao An, don't listen to him! He doesn't actually have bad intentions. It's just that we really don't have any better way to protect ourselves at the moment. It's good that we have such conditions. Thanks to the fact that everyone has this economic base and material conditions, otherwise this expedition would have been even more difficult to make. That's it, I still made the minimum budget, but I still spent a lot of money on Lao Bai, and then I spent it like this. He doesn't have much money in his family, and I'm really worried that we won't be able to make ends meet before everyone's task is completed! ”

Keya originally wanted to comfort Xiao An, but as she spoke, she shook out her troubles again.

"Oh, you, why are you telling people about this!" Mr. Bai seemed to be a little angry, "Didn't I tell you, the problem of money is not a problem!" My company's profitability has always been very good, and I have a reassuring person to take care of it for me, and I can definitely afford you to engage in scientific research! At least let's get this mission done first! ”

Isn't it, that's a bit light, and the intensity, difficulty, and danger of this mission can be increased? Is this a task that can be accomplished so well?

Xiao An was a little skeptical of Mr. Bai's method of coaxing his daughter-in-law.

Seeing Xiao An's thoughts, Hans quietly called her aside, "Alas, it's all my fault, if I hadn't had to do some stealth test, it wouldn't have caused everyone's trouble." But fortunately, at least the two couples' troubles are just money, and although I'm not a big guy, if it's a short-term mission that doesn't require too much expensive equipment, I can still afford it. Don't just let me build a spaceship, then don't say it's me, even my family is afraid that I don't have that strength! ”

That's right, this scientific research is really a money-burning business, even if you contribute the treasure chest you got in Qinghai Lake, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fill the human thirst for the unknown.

So, thinking of this, Xiao An pulled Hans to the couple who were still arguing, "Okay, okay, isn't there still us?" Let's not be too rigid in our brains, it's really not good to AA system or fight for customers! Wouldn't it be better if there was an opportunity in the future, and a few more people could be pulled in and a fund should be established? Why bother with this money? This scientific research is originally a bottomless pit, and there is no end in sight, but we still have to explore and research, otherwise we will have no sense of security! Like Keya, you are born with love, and Hans and I didn't have this kind of cell in the first place, and it was all because we missed our missing teammates that we embarked on this path. But, since God has let a few of us meet, should we cherish this time together! ”

"Oh, yes! How could I not have thought of such a simple method? As soon as Keya was excited, she slapped her husband hard, probably because she was so happy, that she didn't notice her husband who was grinning in pain. But even so, he was reluctant to complain about his beloved wife.

It's enviable.

This scene made little Ann Enhui Hans notice, and they looked at each other in unison.

"Alright. Now that the ideological burden of our leaders has been lifted, there is basically no need to worry about the future. Mr. Bai quietly rubbed the place where he was slapped, and said pretending to be relaxed, "Later." Let's just concentrate on our work! ”

So the four of them started a new round of subordinates and planning.

Most of the time during the day, everyone will walk far away from their residence, so along the way, Xiao An also saw a lot of people and things that he had never seen before. Originally, she was holding that glimmer of hope and went with everyone to find her teammates. But after so long, there is still no whereabouts of them, and every day they just drag their tired bodies back to their residences, which cannot but be said to be very frustrating.

However, on this day, she seemed to have made a new discovery.

The aborigines here are basically still living and working in peace and contentment, and there is nothing suspicious, but Keya has inquired with them many times, and there is neither the whereabouts of teammates, nor the existence of aliens. But that didn't discourage her. Compared with many places that I have walked in a hurry in the past, this time I should have stayed here for the longest time. However, it was precisely because of Keya's decision that Xiao An was able to find one of his teammates first.

"Hey, have you noticed that you occasionally see people here who are different from the locals?" She said to a few people very solemnly.

But her solemnity was a bit funny in the eyes of several people, so Hans said disdainfully, "Yes." It's not you, me, him and her! ”

"Oops, that's not what I'm talking about!" Xiao An was a little anxious, "I mean, except for us and a few other tourists who occasionally meet you. Is there anyone else who has made a lasting impression on you? For example, have you ever seen a man wearing a cloak, who doesn't like to talk, and who always walks with his head down? Don't you think there's anything suspicious? ”

That's right, in terms of scientific research, I have no hope in this life. As for criminal investigation, it's too easy for people to startle the bow at every turn. But I'm not useless. Even if it's a professional, doesn't he still need an informant? One more person, one more mouth. But one more person also has one more pair of eyes. No matter how capable a person is, he has a hundred secrets and a sparse one, but there are three stinkers, who may arch Zhuge Liang and hold up half the sky.

"Ahh Keya seemed to be impressed, "Yes, yes! I have such a character in my mind these days, and I wondered at first, is there something wrong with this person? It's so out of place to dress and behave so differently. But because every time I see him, he is very mysterious and low-key, so I don't dare to look at him more, let alone follow you. What's wrong, An, do you think there's something wrong with him? ”

"Yes! You see, this guy seems to have been here since we came here. And it seems to be taking longer than we've been here. If you don't come to such a place like us, for most people, the climate here is not very suitable for vacationing, so why would he stay here all the time? Looking at what he is wearing, it's obvious that he is not a local! Xiao An continued.

"That's right, I seem to have the impression that the man is always out there hurrying away. But if you think about it, it's not a scenic resort, and it's unlikely that there will be shops, residences and other big establishments nearby. Such a simple village, where else could he be so busy all day long? Where he came from and where he was going, these are really bothering us! Mr. Bai was also a little impressed.

"Ah, that's what you said, then, I'm sorry, Xiao An, we misunderstood you at first! I thought you were playing tricks on us! Hans said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's not important, the most important thing now is to try to find out who this person is in the shortest possible time, and why is he mysteriously circling around. If he is a good person, then we will apologize to others, who let his behavior have attracted the attention of all of us? If he is a bad person, then we must be even more vigilant, lest there really be any aliens or other unknown civilizations that threaten civilization! Xiao An said.

Everyone agreed and began to act separately.

The Bai couple went to the locals to inquire about this past and present life, while Xiao An Hao Hans quietly followed this man from the morning as soon as he went out, wondering where he came from and what he was doing.

But what Xiao An and the others didn't expect was that this person could always get rid of them in time, but until it was dark, there was still no gain.

The man was amazing. They don't eat, drink, or go to the toilet.

Could it really be an iron-clad alien?

The two of them returned to their lofts in despair, wishing they were now falling on the blankets.

"What's wrong? Failed? Mr. and Mrs. Koya asked.

"Hmm!" Xiao An and the two replied weakly.

"Alas, we still haven't asked any useful clues today, and we have run so many places. Shoes are going to wear out! If I continue like this, I may really have to pause my journey here first, because the shoes I brought here are going to be scrapped! It seems that they have also been busy all day today, and Keya is also complaining.

Xiao An felt the pair of shoes on his feet that he hadn't had time to take off. I am also very worried, too, if it goes on like this, I really don't know when it will be a head, and many of the equipment you bring is either exhausted or damaged to the point that it can't be used. She originally wanted to make some more comments, but because she was too tired this day, and because of her mood, she really didn't have the strength or passion to say more.

As if hearing the sound of someone snoring, Xiao An raised his eyes and looked. It turned out to be Hans, who may have been more engaged than himself during the day, but as a result, he was tired like this, and when he came back, he was on fire.

"Hold on a little longer," Mr. Bai said in a tired voice, "we all know it's hard, but isn't that what we're all here for?" If you're on vacation, who's going to go here? Crazy! So. It's just that I'm too optimistic, it's that everything has a process of whether it's a bad thing, and we've already paid so much. I believe that as long as it lasts for a few days, it should be rewarding! Don't be discouraged, success is just around the corner, it's not bad for this trembling! He encouraged everyone, but then he admitted that they were too tired for the day, and said. But let's do it for today, and see that Hans has slept so deeply. Alas, I'm too tired to eat, let's talk about it tomorrow morning, let's go, let's go back to sleep first! ”

He beckoned, and everyone returned to their blankets with a shared hope.

The next day, everyone woke up late because of the fatigue of the previous day.

After getting something to eat, everyone continued to go their separate ways.

However, to everyone's surprise today, that person never appeared.

This can't help but make a few people worry that everyone's behavior is too obvious, and it may have already attracted his attention.

"Then, let's try to keep a low profile, so as not to be discovered by him again when we meet him again!" Mr. Bai said.

"Oh, how do you want to be low-key? That's my limit! Have you ever been a scout, have you ever been a detective, and don't have the experience of a gentleman on the beam, who can walk without a voice? Anyway, I can't think of a better way to do it for a while! "Hans was tired and in a bit of a bad mood.

"Yes, I think let's be careful first, you said that the four of us can't deal with him alone, so it can be seen that we are not his opponents at all. It's better to sit down first, take a breath, reformulate a suitable plan, and it's not too late to go to him when you have enough energy! Keya said.

Alas, I blame myself for all this, what mysterious stranger to find! What does this have to do with lost teammates? If it weren't for the time spent on this in the past few days, there might have been the whereabouts of his teammates.

Xiao An complained about himself in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell everyone what he said in his heart. In the past few days, these people have worked hard enough because of one of their own suspicions, and it would hurt the hearts of several people to question this operation again at this time. No, they can't be blocked anymore.

But for the current situation, we really can't think of any better way, so we can only wait for the rabbit.

However, this time, because Mr. Bai and Keya had already inquired about this person in the local area, there was no need to search for his information, and the couple also joined Xiao An's team, just waiting for that person to appear again and solve all their doubts.

The emperor lives up to his wishes. It's really good, I don't know if a few people hide it really well, or if that person has some tasks to complete here after all, and after a few days, everyone waited for that person again, but this time everyone was not in a hurry to catch him, but first secretly observed for a few days to see what he had done.

However, it is a pity that he did not do anything out of the ordinary that everyone expected or imagined, and he was still as usual, lonely and hurried.

Because a few people are only at a fixed few points, no one can know where his base is.

However, Xiao An has a new harvest here.

Every time the person passed by, she would smell something similar to Marta. She also wondered why the smell of Marta would appear in this person. She was also worried at first, afraid that Marta would also encounter the same incident as Aunt Hans at the beginning, could it be that the people were gone, but the smell was still in the world?

She was uneasy.

"No, Marta Foro has a big life, there shouldn't be anything like that! You're so good with her, don't curse her! Hans counted Ann on his lips and prayed for Marta in his heart.

"That's right, Jiren has his own natural appearance, Xiao An, your friend will be fine! Haven't we been looking for her all the time? Moreover, if you can smell her now, it means that things have indeed progressed, and we should be happy, why do you scare yourself first? Everything has to be in a good direction! Keya persuaded herself.

Well, then I hope that with your good words, my Marta can still live well in this world. (To be continued.) )
