readx; At this time, the group of people on the platform also came to their senses and walked off the platform one after another. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The two groups gathered in the giant lizard, but both sides seemed to have some scruples and did not take the lead in greeting each other.

There were eight people on the other side, seven men and one woman, three men with guns, the remaining five unarmed, two men and one woman were young people, one middle-aged, and one elderly man who was over the age of six.

These five people looked quite bookish, they looked like experts and scholars, and they looked at Ning Xiaofan and the three of them with some nervousness and curiosity. As for the young woman, it was none other than Ning Xiaofan's beautiful neighbor Li Wanting.

Li Wanting was wearing a warm jacket, but there were many tattered places on the surface of the jacket, which gave people a very embarrassed feeling. She was also looking at Ning Xiaofan and the three of them with curiosity at this time, but Ning Xiaofan's face was dark, and she hadn't recognized it yet.

At this time, the other three men with automatic rifles were vigilant, and the automatic rifles in their hands were raised a little intentionally or unintentionally.

Ning Xiaofan originally wanted to say hello to Li Wanting, but seeing that the three gun-wielding men were not very friendly, he temporarily dispelled this idea. And the fat man and Hou San were also cautious, the guns in their hands were raised slightly, and the guns of the two were not pointed at the other two, but only at the other party's leading boss.

Both sides faintly pointed their guns at each other, and the atmosphere became tense, but Ning Xiaofan already knew the identity of the other party, but behaved more relaxed.

"You're the prospecting team?" The middle-aged man with a bit of scholarly temperament asked a little nervously

Ning Xiaofan was about to respond, but the fat man standing on the side replied first: "Yes, we are the prospecting advance team, you are ......"

"We are a joint mission." The middle-aged man hurriedly replied.

"Joint mission? Are you from Jiangnan University? Is it a joint delegation sponsored by Singapore and Australia? "It was Ning Xiaofan who spoke this time.

"Hey, how do you know we're from Jiangnan University?" The middle-aged man said in surprise.

Ning Xiaofan glanced at Li Wanting intentionally or unintentionally, and smiled slightly: "We belong to the exploration team of Xinao. ”

"You're from New Australia?" The middle-aged man was stunned at first, and then said with surprise in his eyes: "That's good, we are a family, a family......"

"You said it was from New Australia, what kind of identity do you have?" The man on the other side, known as the boss, suddenly asked, still maintaining a wary look.

Ning Xiaofan immediately took out his identity card, walked over, and handed the identity card to the man with the gun.

There is a photo and the name of the cardholder on the identity card, occupation, and the man with the gun looks at it, and recognizes the Xinao logo on it, and the look on his face is slightly relaxed, and he says apologetically: "It turned out to be Assistant Ning, I'm sorry, we suffered a little loss not long ago, so we asked you to confirm your identity." ”

Ning Xiaofan said disapprerovingly: "When you go out, you should be cautious." ”

"If you understand, let me introduce myself first, my name is Yang Hai, a security officer of the Xinao Overseas Branch, responsible for the security of the joint expedition team, by the way, I haven't thanked you for breaking the siege for us just now, thank you."

Ning Xiaofan smiled slightly: "It's a trivial matter, you said earlier that you suffered a little loss not long ago, what happened?"

The man with the gun palened slightly, sighed and said: "When we were camping last night, we were attacked by a team, and several people died, but fortunately, the team recognized that we were not a prospecting team, and no one rushed to kill them, otherwise, more people would die." ”

And this begins to purge dissidents? How many people still died? Ning Xiaofan felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and said, "Then do you recognize each other's identities?" ”

The man with the gun said with a bitter face: "At that time, the distance was far away, and I only knew that the other party was a prospecting team, and there were several foreign team members among them, which should be foreign prospecting teams." ”

"Foreign team? Didn't you say that the mine was mined in batches? Why is it still in advance? ”

"I don't know this, I heard that there were several advance teams early yesterday morning, we arrived at the base at noon yesterday, originally to rest for a few days before entering the sinkhole, and then I was temporarily notified, saying that there were geological changes inside the sinkhole, and it was necessary to go down the mine in advance, we were down the sinkhole at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and there were more than ten teams with me, however, each team took a different route."

After listening to Yang Hai's words, Ning Xiaofan suddenly realized that only one day and one night had passed since he entered the sinkhole, but all the way over, not only was it dark in this sinkhole, and he couldn't tell the difference between day and night, but there were also a lot of things, so that it felt like several days had passed.

And the team that set off after this time can meet their own team, obviously, either they are taking the wrong route, or there is another route closer to here.

In his mind, Ning Xiaofan asked again: "In this way, where are you going to go?" ”

"Like you, you have to go to the grotto first, and then decide on the route of the expedition." The man with the gun said, hesitated slightly, and said, "Since you are the prospecting team of Xinao, you can be regarded as yourself, I don't know if you can go together?" As you know, we only have three armed guards left, and the forces that want to protect these experts are a bit weak. ”

Ning Xiaofan groaned slightly and said, "It's not impossible to rush together, but you need to obey the arrangement." ”

"This ......" Yang Hai glanced at the middle-aged man standing not far away, and said with an embarrassed face: "I have no problem with my two subordinates, but the leadership of our team is not me, you have to communicate with our team leader." ”

"Then let your team leader communicate with me."

"Please wait."

After Yang Hai finished speaking, he walked over to the middle-aged man, and after a few whispered conversations with the middle-aged man, he walked over to the middle-aged man again.

"Hello, my surname is Wang, Wang Zhipeng, manager of the development department of Xinao headquarters." The middle-aged man who claimed to be Wang Zhipeng took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Ning Xiaofan, but his expression was slightly reserved.

"Ning Xiaofan, assistant manager of the development department of Xinao Jiangnan Branch, leader of the advance prospecting team." Ning Xiaofan reached out and shook his hand.

Wang Zhipeng smiled reservedly: "Hello, Xiao Ning is, I heard Yang Baoan say just now, we can go to the grotto with you?" ”

"That's the thing."

"That's good, that's good, then, I'll arrange it first, it's almost noon, let's find a place to rest first."

Ning Xiaofan was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Wait, didn't Security Yang tell you?" If you go with us, you must obey our arrangement. ”

"Obey your arrangement?" Wang Zhipeng frowned slightly: "I said Xiao Ning, is it difficult for you to say this?" You must know that according to your and I status in the company, I should be your boss, and you should also obey my arrangement. ”

This guy didn't seem to know the situation yet, Ning Xiaofan didn't like it, and said lightly: "Manager Wang, I admit that your position is higher than mine, but this is not a company, but a mining area, as a team leader, I am responsible for the safety of my team, if you don't obey the arrangement, then go your own way." ”

"How can you do that?" Wang Zhipeng said with a slightly sullen face: "You are just the leader of a small team, why should you let us obey your arrangement?" If you do this again, I will report to the above according to your current performance when I go back, and when the time comes, don't blame me for not warning you in advance if you lose your job. ”

"It's up to you, since you're not willing to follow the arrangement, then go your own way."

In Ning Xiaofan's heart, he was only concerned about Teacher Li's safety, and he didn't bother to say more to the guy in front of him, so he turned his eyes to look at Li Wanting.

At this time, Li Wanting was standing next to the corpse of the giant lizard, not paying attention to this side, but looking at the corpse of the giant lizard with another man in the armor, and two of the younger men were still shaking their heads and commenting.

Ning Xiaofan bypassed Wang Zhipeng, walked straight to Li Wanting and said, "Teacher Li, come with us."

Li Wanting saw that Ning Xiaofan suddenly walked in front of her, and asked herself to go with him, she was stunned at first, and then there was a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Xiaofan, are you Xiaofan?" ”

At this time, she heard Ning Xiaofan's voice, but Ning Xiaofan's face was too dirty, and she didn't dare to confirm it.

Ning Xiaofan was also stunned, she didn't recognize herself yet, only then did she realize that her face was a little dirty, and she hurriedly wiped a few handfuls of her face with her cuffs, grinning, "Isn't it me, Teacher Li, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

It's good that Ning Xiaofan doesn't wipe his face, this time, his face is like a cat, and it looks even dirtier, but the black and white, slightly shy gaze made Li Wanting more sure, and couldn't help laughing: "It's really you kid, I heard that you went down to the sinkhole early yesterday morning, and said if I could meet you..."

While the two were talking, the old man in the sixtieth armor standing next to Li Wanting saw the two talking and laughing happily, and said with doubts in his eyes: "Teacher Li, do you know?" ”

"I know, I'm still his landlord, oh, by the way, let me introduce you, this is my neighbor, Ning Xiaofan ......" Li Wanting said, and introduced Ning Xiaofan to him: "Xiaofan, this is our Professor Zhao of Jiangnan University......"

"Hello, Professor Zhao." Ning Xiaofan greeted politely.

"Oh, good." Professor Zhao seemed to be more interested in the giant lizard, and after a perfunctory remark, his attention turned to the corpse of the giant lizard.

Li Wanting smiled apologetically at Ning Xiaofan: "Professor Zhao is an expert in the field of biology, and when he sees such a thing, he can't take care of you anymore, don't be surprised." ”

"How can it be, this is professionalism and worthy of admiration." Ning Xiaofan smiled and said, "Teacher Li, I heard that you are going to the grotto first, and you happen to be on the same road with us, or you and my team will be together." ”
