Chapter 142: No Signal (Part I)
It wasn't easy to move forward with a 9th layer of demons, and along the way he babbled and read words that no one could understand, and sometimes he held the camera, watching and walking, and he believed that there must be something missing. Xia Ruobing was also thinking all the way, how did those Lu Wen under the relief come about, why did they exist there in an unconventional way of writing, and when those pirates brought the Skeleton Crown here, did they also bring Lu Wen from Loulan at the same time? Or...... There have been Loulan people who have landed here?
Chen Badai collapsed even more, and Wang Xingguo asked him to take care of Kerry, but Kerry was too uncooperative, and the speed of the team became very slow.
Crussell didn't seem to be in a hurry, and took out his satellite phone to look at it a few times along the way, but there was still no signal at all. However, it is comforting that the cannibals do not seem to have any intention of outflanking the back road, at least until now, there is no trace of the cannibals, and Kerry seems to have returned to normal, and he also helped Wang Xingguo take care of his teammates along the way, although the itinerary is a little delayed, but as long as you rush to a high place before 2 o'clock and find the satellite signal, then everything will be fine, and the current speed of progress is still bearable.
Although Wang Xingguo tried his best to maintain that the team should not disperse, it was inevitably dragged into a long line. Wang Xingguo reconnoitred in front, Krussell and Sha Jah followed, and Chen Badai and others "dragged hard" in the back to help Kerry increase his speed.
"Uh...... Crossell ...... I have a question...... "During the break, Kerry saw that no one was paying attention to them, and stopped talking to Crossell."
"What's the problem?" Krussell doesn't have much affection for Kerry, but now his status in the team is different.
"I checked the terrain...... I think...... Uh...... "Kerry hesitated when he saw that Crossell didn't give him a good look.
"Say it!" Idle is idle anyway, and Krussell wants to hear what he has to say.
"They abandoned the Marumatsu...... But judging from the terrain of the Marumatsu where they set up, there must be one more in the vicinity...... And that Annasum...... I'm sure it's around here......" Kerry said.
"Why do you think so?" Crusell's interest was raised a little, but he still retained his opinion.
"Professional ......" Kerry cracked his mouth and smiled, along the way, Kerry's mind was not idle, he used his life's knowledge.
"When we came up, I found a cross-cut rift on Marumatsu, and I promise that this rift will not be more than 300 years old...... That is, the island of Tignaanti is being torn apart by the movement of the earth's crust......"
"And then? What does this have to do with Annasum? "Krussell realized they still had a chance.
"Hmm...... If they worship a certain god, of course they will think that this is a punishment from the gods, but they cannot not worship the gods from now on, and they will ask the gods for forgiveness with higher ritual standards, the original tombs...... Well, for the time being, let's call those stone platforms the tombs, which are facing north, but the tombs that are halfway behind are facing west...... I think it must have something to do with the specs, the west is the highest spec, and there are more words about Anasum there, and the further back there there are more and more ...... I deduced that they were trying to ask the gods for forgiveness, and that they would surely choose a new place to perform the ceremony...... The highest spec of ......," Kerry said.
"That sounds like this...... But...... Where are you talking about? Krussell asked, looking at Wang Xingguo who was exploring the path in front of him, he felt that it was best not to let Wang Xingguo know about this matter for the time being.
"Could there be any clues to Lu Wen and the crown here?" Mr. Min had been listening to the side, and then he interjected.
"According to my observations, there are not many places on the island that meet the requirements, and they are all concentrated in this vicinity......"
"What do you mean?" Mr. Min became excited.
"I'm just exploring the possibilities......" Kerry said.
"How sure are you?" Crussell was a little annoyed.
"Hmm...... Seventy or eighty. Kerry affirmed.
"You mean, if we turn, we will definitely find a new Marumatsu...... And there will definitely be more detailed and recent records there...... And that Annasum...... You'll find the answer here......" Crussell said.
"Steering...... Not...... It should be, but ......"
"Kerry...... Think about it...... Do you want to stay in that third-rate university for the rest of your life, teaching students theories that mainstream scholars don't approve of, and making students judge you like monsters? No...... Kerry, you shouldn't be like this, Tinian Anti is the pinnacle of your life to start and you can subvert all the nonsense of traditional academics! Think about it...... Kerry...... It only takes a little time...... Take a little risk and you'll change for the rest ......of your life," Mr. Min said in a low voice, but it was more like he was speaking to Crossell.
"Uh...... This ......," Kerry hesitated, "but if there is no spell to protect us......"
"It's a big secret that you're in charge of leading the way...... Kerry! The big secret that subverts the world's perception is about to be unraveled...... "Regardless of who it is, this is an epoch-making achievement......"
"But...... All right...... But...... Wang Xingguo ...... "Kerry is a little worried, realistically speaking, evacuation is the best option, but the temptation of achievement is too great......
"BOSS, what do you think?" Crussell asked Mr. Min in a low voice.
"Kerry and I will definitely get Loulan's treasure, and as for Sharjah, let ......," Mr. Min muttered.
"Good...... It's decided, I'll find a way to ......" Crussell is in good spirits, as long as there is someone to support him, he will still lead the team no matter what he says, and he has the final decision.
"I'll cooperate with you...... After all, we are allies. Mr. Min secretly glanced at Wang Xingguo and Xia Ruobing.
"Min, it's better not to anger them, we still have to rely on them to find the treasure." Crussell reminded.
"The new Marumatsu will be around here...... Well, it's close to cannibal territory...... If you go a little further east, it's the island treasure...... "It's not that Kerry doesn't want to be famous, he's worried about cannibals.
"I understand...... "Krussell felt that the problem was a bit serious, if it was close to the cannibals' territory, Wang Xingguo would definitely not agree, now they are trying to stay away from the cannibals as much as possible, closer to the coastline, Krussell has to think of a way.
"It's almost twelve o'clock, Krussell, look for the satellite signal, the team will rest for 10 minutes......" Wang Xingguo ordered, this place is relatively empty, if the satellite passes by, it should be able to receive the satellite signal.
"Uh...... Damn it...... Damn it......" Crussell took out the satellite phone and turned it on, but there seemed to be no response, he pulled the antenna to the longest and stretched out his hand to find the signal, but the satellite phone still did not respond.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xingguo asked.
"Something seems to be wrong...... Crussell said, looking at the satellite phone.
"Huh?"
"There's a ......distraction here," Crossell said, feigning helplessness.
"Interference? How can it be? Chen Badai said incredulously, he took out the compass, and the compass was normal.
"But...... Satellite phones are like this...... "Crussell handed the satellite phone to Chen Badai, who saw that the numbers and letters displayed on the screen were incomplete, and no matter how he operated, he couldn't make a call.
"...... What's going on? Chen Badai's heart was galloping with thousands of grass and mud horses, if it weren't for the presence of a woman, he would have scolded a long time ago.
"Uh...... It should be the cause of the movement of the earth's crust, which squeezes the iron or something deep in the earth's crust to the surface...... But it's special...... The area of interference will not be too large, we will just change the position. Kerry saw that Crussell gave him a wink, and said very cooperatively.
"Crustal movements?" Xia Ruobing felt that this was not the case.
"Hmm...... Angel, believe me, we are standing on a volcanic crater, haven't you noticed that the holy spring of Marumazu is breaking because of a rift valley...... That is, the island of Tignaanti is being torn apart...... Those poor people, one day, Tinian will be torn in half, and the lava underground will erupt and destroy everything about them......" Kerry saw Xia Ruobing speak, for survival in the wild, he could not compare to Wang Xingguo, but in geological research, Kerry felt that he was enough to kill Wang Xingguo in minutes.
"There is no signal, there is no way to call for help, Wang, what should I do?" Crussell threw the question to Wang Xingguo.
