Chapter 146: Split (I)

The whole afternoon was almost over, and Kerry had not made any progress, but the more he studied, the more he studied, and according to Kerry's research method, Crussell did not know when it would be completed.

"Kerry...... Kerry...... How long will you need? Finally waiting for him to be "free" a little, Crossell asked.

"Time...... Give me some time...... I need time...... "Kerry is leaning together on the stone carvings, where the text is richer, but it is more difficult to decipher, many symbols and words do not understand what they mean, and now I feel that my brain cannot analyze so much information even if it is a supercomputer."

"Time...... What we lack is time! Crussell was getting impatient. Kerry doesn't seem to know the current situation, Xia Ruobing has given an ultimatum, although this is a loose organization, but the basic organizational integrity still needs to be maintained, without the protection of Xia Ruobing and others, even if Kerry understands these symbols, how can he evacuate safely.

"Relax...... Just relax...... I'm sure cannibals won't come here. Kerry comforted Crussell and said.

"How do you know......" Crussell asked angrily.

"Hmm...... These corpses ...... They were moved here after being embalmed, and I just looked at it carefully, and they were dehydrated with sea salt and other things, and then brushed with special grease, so that the corpses would not rot after being exposed to such conditions for a long time. According to my calculations, it would take at least a year to dispose of such a corpse...... It's harder than making a mummy. ”

"So what?" Crussell listened to him for a long time without getting to the point.

"If it weren't for the transport of corpses, Marumazu is a sacred place for cannibals, they wouldn't have come, I can assure you, they have strict rituals, huh...... Humans attach great importance to the ritual of death, especially death associated with the gods...... So we don't have to worry......" Kerry's words sound plausible.

"It's a pity...... The gods have forsaken them. Kerry said lamentingly. There are hundreds of stone platforms in this Marumaz land, and they are more beautifully made, some of the stone platforms still have corpses on them, but it seems that the latest one is several months old, and there are some earlier corpses, which cannot be placed, so they can only be stacked in a corner of the cemetery.

Kerry tried to take some samples from a corpse for testing, but he found that the skin of the corpse was like hard leather, and it was difficult to cut through with a sharp knife. With great effort, Kerry only used a knife to cut off a piece of tissue the size of a fingernail.

Kerry focused on the corpse's abdomen, the softest part of the body, and perhaps it was easier to take a sample from here, and he gave up the idea of taking a sample from the corpse's forearm, and poked the knife into the belly, but the knife seemed to have pierced a stone, and the sharp tip of the knife could not penetrate at all.

"Dehydrate the body first...... Dry...... Then soak in grease ...... Re-drying...... Not...... It must be like this......" Kerry muttered, being able to dry and plasticize muscle tissue so hard that even modern corpse embalming techniques could hardly achieve, but these cannibals who seemed obscure to outsiders did.

"Kerry...... When did you still have research on mummies? Crussell was sarcastic when he saw Kerry holding a knife and sweating profusely at the corpse, but with little success.

"Hmm...... People have to have some hobbies. Kerry laughed.

"Your hobby is so special!" Crossell sneered.

"Huh? Crossell, science is in a never-ending quest to advance, but who can guarantee that the original technology will necessarily be the worst? Kerry replied lukewarmly.

"But science can't solve our problems now, and we're stuck on this island." Sharjah made Kerry, who had been sitting idle and watching the madman fight the corpses, bored, and he began to miss the warm Hawaiian beaches and the beautiful bikini beauties...... Well, it would have been perfect with another cold drink......

But there's nothing, no sandy beaches, no bikini beauties, no cold drinks, Sharjah Jean hasn't drunk such "" water for many years, how can the water filtered from a jungle puddle compare to the ice spring water in the Alps? Sharjah was helpless, he underestimated the environment in the wild, according to his idea, it was only a three-day trip to raise his status to an enviable position, but now it seems that the legendary pirate treasure is not known where, but the threat of cannibals is so real, some clues that are not easy to find have become a scientific guessing game, which makes Sharjah unbearable.

"Sharjah, everything has a price." Mr. Min saw through Sharjah's depression and spoke.

"I'm just a businessman...... The cost is the cost for me...... "Sharjah Jean does not have Mr. Min's madness, his money does not fall from the sky, he will be good at calculating the cost of anything.

"We only need to pay a little marginal cost, and we can get endless benefits!" When talking to a businessman, you have to find a way that interests him: "I'm also a businessman. ”

"I won't spend countless hours and money for Loulan like you!" Sharjah raised his voice, "My life is not included in the cost!" ”

"We have an agreement, you take the pirate's treasure, and Loulan belongs to us." Mr. Min was also a little annoyed, "If you follow our advice and sell us the information, it won't be like this!" ”

"Huh?! Do you think I can trust you and Dick's playboy? Sharjah sneered, "You're just a bunch of tomb robbers under the guise of exploration!" ”

"Stop!" Crussell hurriedly stopped the quarrel between the two, this matter could not be known to outsiders, and if they continued to quarrel, others would hear it.

Sharjah now regrets supporting Crussell, what does this damn science have to do with himself? If you hadn't listened to Mr. Min and Crusel yesterday, you should have been on your way back by this time, and you would be eating barbecue and drinking wine on Indi Island in a few hours!

"BOSS, we will absolutely guarantee the safety of your life!" Krussell said in a low voice, glancing at Xia Ruobing who was not far away, the relationship between the team is very delicate now, and there can be no disagreement between his own people at this time.

"Protection? Time, time! Crussell, time! Sharjah Jean pointed at Kerry, a little annoyed.

"Yes...... Time, we can't grasp it, but soon everything will be different. Crussell tried his best to convince Sharjah, "When all is done, the treasures will be yours, and you will occupy the first name on the documents that have turned the history of mankind upside down!" I promise! ”

"Hmph......" Sharjah Jean softened his tone when he heard the word "treasure", "How long will it take?" One day? A week or a year? ”

"Research is a meticulous job, Mr. Sharjah Jean, I can't give you the exact time!" Kerry snapped up.

"Hmph...... I'll just say it! Sharjah Jean was speechless, he didn't like this kind of thing without accurate income expectations, if he did this business, he would have gone bankrupt hundreds of times!

"You go talk to Xia Ruobing and see how much time she can give you!" Sharjah Jean pointed at Krussell and said, "You are the leader...... You have to be responsible! ”

"Uh...... Okay, BOSS! Crussell was a little caught off guard, and he agreed.

Xia Ruobing and the others are also doing nothing now, after Wang Xingguo found a good guard position, he has been in charge of guarding, Chen Badai found a clean stone platform at this time, and was lying on it with his hat covering his face and falling asleep, Sherpa and Xia Ruobing sat on the side chatting, Krussell knew that they were showing a non-cooperative attitude to protest their decision.

Crussell didn't think about how to talk to Xia Ruobing, from Crussell's psychological point of view, he didn't want to talk to Xia Ruobing - he had just been deprived of command, and he was deprived of a woman, he felt very uncomfortable in terms of face, but Sharjah was the boss, and Crussell felt very embarrassed.

"We still need a little time." Crussell thought for a long time, then walked over and said.

"No...... Tomorrow at 12 o'clock we must communicate with the outside world and evacuate to the coastline. Xia Ruobing simply rejected Krussell's proposal.

"But...... We stood at the doordoor of a great discovery. Crussell was a little annoyed, and this annoyance came from having to obey a little girl!
