Chapter 280: The Eye of the King's Tomb (Part II)
"All living beings need energy to sustain movement and life, no matter what we are facing. We now know that they are infected by a microorganism, and in order for this microorganism to survive, it has to infect more people," Wang Xingguo said, "but the lifespan of any virulent source of infection is short, such as Ebola, hemorrhagic fever, as long as the host's energy is exhausted, they will also come to an end." ”
"What the hell are you going to say?" One of the team members was a little impatient, he didn't want to know about these theoretical knowledge, he just wanted to know how to survive and not become a wandering living dead.
"Time! Time is in our favor," Wang Xingguo said with a smile: "In such a cold climate, if exposed to the outside, a person can only live for 3 days at most, those living dead cannot live longer, the instinct to survive will make them look for a warm place, that is, their nest, we just need to keep a distance from them, now they are farther away from the nest, they will not last long, if I guess correctly, when they can't find a host, they must be driven back to the nest by instinct." ”
"I noticed that on the hill, they were indeed moving much slower than before...... said one of the team members.
"So we don't need to be nervous, now that it's far enough away that they're going to evacuate," Wang Xingguo said with a smile, "In that case, what's the point of us arguing here?" If we find the living dead, we just need to evacuate them again and keep them away from the lair, and the cold and the wasteland will help us get rid of them. ”
"But what if you're wrong?" Alexei asked, still a little worried.
"It's better to be right, even if the regular army is notified to come, according to the standard quarantine procedures, it is impossible for us to leave." Wang Xingguo said with a smile.
"Well, let's fight with them, at least we have enough vehicles and enough fuel, and their legs can't catch up with our wheels." Tchaikov said.
Wang Xingguo has made it very clear that it is impossible for everyone to leave here, everyone's appeal is very simple, how to save their lives, as for saving the world, it will only be considered after saving lives, Wang Xingguo put forward the feasibility of saving lives, which is enough.
Tchaikov finally breathed a sigh of relief, the crisis of the mutiny was eliminated, everyone set up a guard separately, Tchaikov patted Wang Xingguo on the shoulder and said: "You are really a genius orator!" ”
"No, as a former soldier, I just know what they think," Wang Xingguo said, "By the way, do you see my hair small?" ”
It was only then that Tchaikov remembered that Mr. Dick and Mr. Min had also disappeared.
Tchaikov couldn't help but curse that he shouldn't have given Dick free space, he must have run away in the chaos.
"Wang Xingguo, there is a sentence I don't know whether I should tell you or not," Xia Ruobing said suddenly, "In the chaos, I saw Chen Badai get on the equipment car and run in the opposite direction with Dick and Mr. Min, and at that time we were trying our best to control the situation......"
"The bare egg won't leave me alone......" Wang Xingguo heard the disdain in Xia Ruobing's tone, and was a little embarrassed.
"I'm afraid he's not the guy you know anymore, and he's completely on Dick's side." Xia Ruobing reminded.
"Gotta find a way to find Dick!" Tchaikov was very angry, but after taking stock repeatedly, he did not know where they had gone, and second, he did not have enough manpower to search such a large wasteland, and third, no one would risk leaving the brigade at this time.
Tchaikov can only wait for reinforcements to arrive, and if he finds Dick this time, Tchaikov vows to break Dick's leg so that he can't go anywhere!
At this time, Dick's car was driving in a deserted wasteland, far enough away from the living dead that there was no need to worry that they would catch up, and Tchaikov was probably on the verge of death at this time, and even if he managed to escape from the mouth of the living dead, it would take a long time to find himself, and by that time he had already found the royal tomb and the diamond mine.
However, the mayor of the town was still not at ease, he really saw the diamonds all over the wall, and those diamonds were still in the safe, but unfortunately he could not get them back at this time, and Dick suddenly told himself that there was a bigger diamond mine waiting for him, and he was still a little suspicious.
"Dick, how did you find the diamond mines?" The mayor asked.
"Dragonscale...... Let's put it this way, all our previous calculations were wrong. Dick was relaxed at this point, and even if he told the mayor everything, he couldn't do it against him.
"Is the Red Dragon Disturbance wrong?" The mayor asked.
"No, no, the red dragon disturbance is correct, we forgot a small detail when we calculated, the dragon scales...... As for the legend, I don't think I need to explain too much. Dick said smugly.
The meaning of the existence of the legend is that anyone can interpret it subjectively, and you can also add all kinds of information to the legend according to your own subjectivity, the Loulan royal family is to use the legendary red dragon to guard the diamond, and later generations have been processed and interpreted, step by step to depict the appearance of the "red dragon", and made up many moving stories, and these are definitely not groundless, just how to keep the truth from the false.
Dick did have that abstract map of the red dragon, which old Citchell had imagined himself, a huge red dragon lying in the ground in a strange way—a group of dormant or half-dormant volcanic belts. The location of the red dragon's disturbance is the dragon's nostrils, and the Volchiga River is the dragon's back, and the phagogue that appears from the Volchiga River is in response to Dick's judgment. According to legend, the dragon scales were arranged in a straight direction, and Dick followed the old Tchaicher's method to extrapolate from the Volchiga River to the other scale of the dragon, Volgan, and everything was in line with the record, and the tombs of the Loulan royal family must have been built in a mountain according to the regulations, and there was only one mountain in the vicinity that could accommodate such a large royal tomb in the legend. Dick thinks the opposite, everyone thinks that you can find the royal tomb by finding the diamond mine first, but why not find the royal tomb first, and then find the diamond mine in reverse? So Dick was sure that the drilling team had found the entrance to the royal tomb and the diamond.
Old Zacher had entered the mine in the other direction, and the entrance was indeed next to the Volchiga, but Dick was 100% sure that the entrance had been baptized by explosives and floods, and that it would not be possible to enter at this time, and Dick would have to enter directly in the back of the red dragon, and this was the quickest place.
There are too many legends like this, as long as someone makes a start, there will be countless people to artificially supplement all kinds of materials, the mayor seems to understand it or not, and he doesn't need to understand it, as long as he sees the diamonds all over the ground, it is enough to gag his mouth.
"Okay, I'll contact the drilling team, things should be going on even more." There was a radio on the equipment car, and Dick turned on the radio, adjusted the frequency, and called the drilling team.
There was only a rustle on the radio, and no one answered.
"Probably the weather......," Dick muttered, a hint of uneasiness creeping up in his heart, but then he comforted himself that he was already standing at the gate of the royal palace, and that all problems would be solved by gently pushing open the hidden door.
Although Dick did not know what would happen when he found the tomb, he was convinced that it would not be worse than what happened to old Tschim.
Although Wang Xingguo is the best guarantee when the risk comes, Dick has long known that Wang Xingguo is not with him all the way, Chen Badai's ability has yet to be tested, but at the critical moment, he can always resist for a while, as for the mayor, this greedy guy, if he can, let him die!
Dick thought to himself, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Tchaikov, who was always making trouble for himself, after such a catastrophe, Tchaikov's vitality was greatly damaged, and the history of their hundreds of years of oppression of their family was about to be changed in their own hands.
But Dick also had to admit that as for what to do with Tchaikov, he didn't think about it, but whatever he was, as long as the diamond mine was in his own hands and the 'Red Dragon Heart' was tightened, Tchaikov would become a soft dough and be left to his disposal. The arrogant polar bear must make him pay a heavy price......
By this time, Dick seemed to have seen Tchaikov weeping bitterly and begging for his forgiveness.
Dick was thinking about it, and inadvertently, time flew by, it was already dawn, the mayor of the town had already fallen asleep in the back seat, and Mr. Min was resting in his chair. Chen Badai looked at the GPS navigation, and it was not far from Dick's positioning, but there was no trace of artificiality on the wasteland.
"Dick! Hey! Chen Badai poked Dick, who was asleep in the passenger seat, "It's not far away, but I haven't seen anything." ”
Dick took the GPS and made sure he was right, if so, the car was only a few hundred meters away from the drilling site, and the weather was good today, but there was no drilling machinery in sight, and no one was seen.
Dick turned on the radio again, and the radio still answered Dick's shout with a rustling sound.
"It shouldn't be!" Dick cursed, wondering what had gone wrong.
"Looks like we've run in vain," the mayor complained, "and I'll say we're in the wrong place." ”
"Let's go around again!" Chen Badai was also very helpless, at this time, the position of the car and the apex position had coincided, but he didn't see anything, but since he came, he might look for it again......
