Chapter 197: The unconscious captive
At about five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the team that went out to pursue returned to the camp. They were accompanied by three stout crooked nuts. The three of them wore the same uniforms, and all of them were covered in earthy yellow accessories, so it was no wonder that they could hide in the desert from being discovered.
"In this situation, is it necessary to suspend archaeological excavations and research?" Professor Liang whispered to the person in charge of the camp. As Professor Liang opened his mouth to ask, everyone present turned their eyes to the middle-aged man.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that someone has learned of their discovery, and the three crooked nuts that were caught are the best proof of this. Although they don't know the identity of the other party, their purpose is very clear.
Moreover, the three people who were caught were also carrying hot weapons. This is simply Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.
Professor Leung's inquiry was also based on security considerations.
To put it bluntly, neither Professor Liang nor anyone else thought of leaving this place and ending their research mission.
I just want to know when the reinforcements from above will arrive.
Now that this place has been targeted, they have to speed up the research and excavation to protect the safety of the artifact.
"I need to get in touch with the above, please give me some time." The camp leader was already sweating, and after reassuring everyone, he immediately returned to his tent, trying to get in touch with the base in the rear.
As the middle-aged man left, Professor Liu suddenly patted Jiang Huo's shoulder, and said with palpitations: "Xiao Jiang, thanks to you today, if it weren't for your cleverness, I'm afraid we wouldn't know that someone had been staring at us." ”
Hearing Professor Liu's words, the staff in charge of the camp's security suddenly showed embarrassed expressions on their faces, and they looked left and right, not daring to look at the people around them.
Although they didn't know when these crooked nuts were lurking, they had been stationed here for nearly half a month, but they didn't notice any movement, and Professor Liu's words were simply questioning their abilities.
These people know in their hearts that after the operation, they are afraid that they will have to accept criticism and punishment from their superiors.
"It's not for nothing to climb high and look far. I'm just taking advantage of the terrain, if they don't make a move, I'm afraid these people will run away, and at that time, it will be a big trouble. Jiang Huo was very modest and did not take all the credit on himself.
"I can't say that, this is indeed our negligence, thinking that the north is all deserts where no one lives, so we didn't send additional people to monitor and search, how do you know that there are really people hiding over there, if it wasn't for your discovery, we don't know how much information we would have stolen by the other party." The captain in charge of security was a young man, estimated to be only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his skin had a healthy tan due to his long service.
"Huh? Didn't everyone get caught? How do they deliver the message? Professor Liang looked at the other party strangely and asked suspiciously. They didn't know that this team of crooked nuts actually had four people.
In the face of Professor Liang's inquiry, the security captain was a little embarrassed and did not answer for a long time.
Seeing this, Jiang Huo said in a low voice: "I saw four people on the stone pillar at that time, and now I have been arrested three people, I'm afraid that one of them really escaped......"
"What?"
"How so?"
"Oh my God! So how much information does it have to leak this time? ”
"Now the worst-case scenario is that the other party has recorded all the information on the stone pillar and delivered it."
The old professors' faces were not angry, and looking at their appearance, they seemed to want to tear these security personnel apart. Jiang Huo sighed, patted the security captain on the shoulder, gestured at him, and left the tent immediately.
Soon after Jiang Huo walked out of the camp, the security captain followed behind her, lifted the curtain, and walked out.
"Uh...... This one...... Are you looking for something with me? ”
The security captain didn't know what to call Jiang Huo now, and if he was to call him along with the old professors, he always felt something strange. However, if he called Jiang Huo a classmate, he also felt a little twisted, and after thinking about it again, he could only dispense with this annoying title and ask directly about the matter.
"Where did the last person go?"
Jiang Huo didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked about the whereabouts of the fourth person.
Although Jiang Huo's tone of voice was very calm, the security captain actually had an illusion, he always felt that the girl standing in front of him seemed to be his boss, asking about the overall situation of the task.
"When we reached the dunes, we did see four people, but in the middle of our chase, suddenly a woman's shout came from the front, and the other three seemed to have been hit hard, and they all lay on the ground and shivered." While thinking about it, the security captain told what he knew: "When we came to the three crooked nuts, they were in a state of dehydration, so we had to replenish them with a certain amount of water and drag them back. ”
After listening to the other party's narration, Jiang Huo had a strange look on his face.
"Where is the missing woman? Didn't you look for it in the neighborhood? ”
The security captain replied: "Of course, we searched nearby, and within two hundred meters of the sand sea, we did not find any footprints, and the fourth crooked nut disappeared as if it had evaporated from the world." ”
And this is the case?
"Take me to see those three crooked nuts? Maybe they were bitten by some creature in the desert and collapsed to the ground, unable to move. Jiang Huo stared at the eyes of the security captain and asked in a low voice.
Take you to see it? You're studying archaeology, not medicine!
Although the security captain kept complaining in his heart, he still did not resist Jiang Huo's eye attack, so he had to nod helplessly, and took Jiang Huo to the central camp where the three crooked nuts were held.
In the tent, there were four staff members guarding here, for fear that something would happen and let the three captives escape.
Jiang Huo didn't say a word, he directly opened the yin and yang eyes, and under her observation, there was a black aura in the bodies of these three crooked nuts, which flowed along the meridians and kept flowing.
Black feather needles?
Could it be that black figure, making a move in the dark?
Seeing this, Jiang Huo immediately remembered what happened to him when he entered the desert on the first day.
The current situation of these three crooked nuts is exactly the same as the state after Jiang Huo was shot by a black feather needle. [.]
