Chapter 1272: The Keeper
Soon there was a rush of footsteps outside the entrance to the cave, and the sound of people protesting incessantly. There were fifteen people in the archaeological team, both young and old, the eldest Mo was about sixty years old, there were thirty or four middle-aged people in his forties, and the rest were about twenty young people, three of whom were young girls. Looks like it's supposed to be a graduate student or something. The men looked very haggard and depressed, but as soon as they entered, the old man was facing Jamel ? Aziz shouted, his face furious.
"I protest that you are illegally detained, we are legitimate American citizens, and it is lawful for you to come here to archaeology through the government of your country, and it is a lawful act, and you have no right to detain us...... This is a very barbaric act, you barbarians, you ......"
"Since we are savages, it makes sense for us to be savage to you, Harold? Professor Cowles, we're barbaric compared to your civilized world, you must think so, don't you? "Jamal? Aziz said mockingly to the old man.
"Isn't it? Illegal detention, this is enough, not to mention the tools you used to destroy our archaeology, do you want to kill us? If that's the case, then do it, I'm not afraid of death. "Harold? Professor Cowles said loudly, his chest straightened, and the resolute look on his face did not seem to be fake.
"Haha, that's great, Professor Cowles, I admire your death-defying spirit, but...... Even if you are not afraid of death, do you still want these young lives to be buried for you? You're so selfish! As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the other young archaeologists who were languishing.
Harold? Professor Cowles was immediately discouraged. But he still snorted and said, "A barbarian is a barbarian, and he only kills." Wisdom threatens, and this is truly God's sorrow. I feel sorry for you. ”
"Leave us alone. You'd better mind yourself first. "Jamal? Aziz snorted, then turned his head to Zhen Fan and hooked his finger and said, "You...... Come on, you have a good talk now, we don't want to hurt you, but we will never allow you to do anything that hurts us. After negotiating the conditions, tell me, no matter what the result is, we will make a break today, and we will wait for you outside the cave entrance! He said. He shook his head at his own people, "Let's go out and give them half an hour, and after half an hour, we'll all have a decision." So saying, he walked out with his own people.
Looking at the way they do things, it really doesn't look like they want to kill people and get some benefits. Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders, and then walked to Harold? In front of Cowles, he nodded at him and said, "Let's sit down first." None of us can run away here. ”
"Who are you?" Harold? Cowles said to Zhen Fan suspiciously, "I've never met you, what are we talking about?" Are you Asian? Japanese or Chinese? ”
"I can be considered half American, of course I am a Chinese. It's just that I got a green card in the United States, lived in the United States for a long time, and ...... I know an American girl. That girl's name is Christina? Wheddon, she has made a great sacrifice for you. I had to leave my beloved team and earn money to keep your archaeological work going. Because you're her friends. It's also her team, so ...... I think I should bring you back to the United States. ”
"Back to the United States? No, no, no, I can't go back, the research here is valuable, and if possible, the history of humanity could be rewritten. The evolutionary history of mankind may be ...... There will be heavy dà discoveries, and the process from ape to man may be altered. In fact, human beings can be separated from apes, and human beings are human beings, not evolved from some kind of creature, and the theory of evolution is not applicable to our current human beings. "As soon as I heard about letting myself go back, Harold? Cowles couldn't help but object loudly, shaking his head again and again and said, "How can I leave such a meaningful thing?" Over my dead body. Even if I die, I'm going to be buried here! He added a sentence later to express his strong determination.
"What about them? Do you know how they feel? Zhen Fan shook his head, "They are so young, do you want them to die here?" Or imprisoned to old age? These people will not let you go. And also...... What are you looking into? What is more important than one's own freedom and life? ”
Originally, when I heard Zhen Fan mention these young people, Harold? Cowles's mood was a little heavy, but as soon as he talked about his archaeology, his eyebrows immediately danced: "Of course, of course it is important, didn't I just say it?" It was an ancient creature, very old according to our age, but if it really existed, then the history of our humanity would probably change along with it. It's a great ...... Maybe you're right, they're so young that they shouldn't have been imprisoned here with me, and maybe I'll never be able to study this again. In the end, his words changed, and his feelings quickly dripped down.
"No, Professor, we're with you, and we're not going back!" Suddenly, one of the young blondes excitedly looked at Harold? "We're here with you, perhaps...... Christina will find a way to save us, isn't her boss very strong? Maybe she could. ”
"I know, but ...... After all, Christina is just his assistant, so ...... We couldn't ask more of her, she's made enough sacrifices. "Harold? Professor Cowles shook his head, rejecting the girl's words.
Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing, looked at the girl, and then looked at Harold? "I don't know if I should say it or not, but I'll tell you," Cowles said, actually...... I'm Christina's boss, and I'm here because we have a movie that needs to be filmed here, so I'm going to tell you guys...... I have also come to rescue you, and now on the condition that you give up your archaeological work here, and follow me back to the United States, never again. Now it seems that this condition is not negotiable at all. "Zhen Fan means Harold? Professor Cowles disagreed.
Sure enough, Harold? Professor Cowles shook his head firmly and said, "Yes, I won't go back." Can we negotiate terms with them, Hayley? Jokaya can go back with you, or they can never come back, and I'...... Just stay here and wait until they release me one day. He looked at the girl and nodded at Zhen Fan.
"Professor...... "That's Hailey?" Jocaya's girl against Harold? Professor Cowles screamed, only to be interrupted by the professor's wave. Then he looked at the middle-aged people and said, "I have to say, I also want to say goodbye to you, there is no need to accompany me here to die, after all, ...... It may never see the light of day. ”
One of the middle-aged men laughed at Harold? Cowles said: "I said, Harold, you are also selfish, how can such a famous thing, which may make your name above Darwin, not me?" Don't say it, it's useless for you to say anything, we're here to stay. The rest of the middle-aged men all nodded.
"Professor, we'll stay too!" The rest of the young people also shouted at Harold? Cowles exclaimed, "We're waiting for this historic moment with you, we're a team!" ”
Harold? Cowles sighed, shook his head, and then turned to Zhen Fan and said, "Let them in, we already have the result, it looks like ...... Nothing has changed, this matter is so big that I don't even know how to make a decision. So I can't influence their own decisions. ”
It seems that all the qiē is in vain. Zhen Fan shook his head, and when he was about to go out, he heard someone walking in, so he stood still and looked at Jamel who walked in from the entrance of the cave? Aziz. As soon as he came in, he said to Zhen Fan: "It seems that you have a result now, let's say, what is your decision." ”
"They decided to continue their research, so ...... I can't convince them. Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders, and then walked towards the outside of the cave, facing Jamal? Aziz said, "Shall we go outside and talk?" "Speaking to Jamal? Aziz made a gesture of please.
Jamal? Aziz hesitated, looked at Zhen Fan, then nodded and said: "Okay, I'll give you this last chance to negotiate with me, if not, there is no need for us to negotiate, they will continue to be imprisoned, knowing that they made a promise, or our bottom line, this decision is not something I can make alone." With that, he took the lead and walked outside. Zhen Fan then followed.
"This result doesn't seem to be what Mr. Zhen wanted." After going out, Jamal? Aziz shook his head at Zhen Fan and said, "Is it because of Harold? Professor Cowles was too stubborn, so ...... We always couldn't negotiate with him, so ...... It's become such a situation, does Mr. Zhen want to continue? ”
Zhen Fan shook his head and said, "It seems that there is no need to negotiate, but ...... I want to say, why do you have to stop archaeology? They are only archaeology, and they don't seem to pose any threat to you at all. Is there some conflict of interest between you? They are archaeological...... I've heard Christina say something that seems to be a creature that has never been seen before......"
"It's not a creature, it's a fetish." Suddenly, Jamal? Aziz interrupted Zhen Fan's words, and said with a somewhat excited face, "That is the holy beast that we have guarded for generations, the holy beast that has guarded the gate of heaven, and the holy beast that we have guarded for generations. Like it, we are the keepers of Heaven's Gate. (To be continued......)
