Chapter 429: The Fifth Ruin

Thomas. Geller's mood at the moment is mixed. Dressed in dirty, dusty overalls, he strode forward with a straight face. And behind him, a somewhat obese man gasped and trotted all the way behind him.

"Hey, Thomas! Thomas! ”

"What's the matter? Andy, I'm in a bad mood right now. ”

"Not good? Why? Thomas? ”

Hearing his answer, the pug-like man who followed behind him as if he was following his master widened his eyes in confusion.

"Isn't that great? The excavation of the ruins that had been stopped was restarted, and we got the big money we wanted, and you were appointed as the leader of this ruins excavation team because you had been in charge of the excavation of the previous ruins, I don't understand what else you have to complain about? ”

"I'd rather live as unfettered as I used to than be forced to work like I am now!"

Thomas stood still, glaring disappediently at the fat man behind him. Sensing his dissatisfaction, the fat man also took off his glasses and wiped them, and then continued.

"Oh yes, we all know that this excavation is extraordinary and important. I know you hate those soldiers, but they're a necessity here. And didn't we have a few heavyweights in our group this time? Dr. Sean is an expert in geological research, Professor Miller is a chemical engineer, and Dr. Alyssa ......... Oh, you don't know, it's not easy to want these people to come together. ”

"yes, we could have found a few more people."

At this, Thomas snorted coldly, and then reached out to point out the window.

"Can you explain it to me, then. What's going on with those young ladies?! Damn, we're here at the site of the ruins, not a museum, not a damn idol show stage or a song hall, why are those guys here? Damn, they're just kids!! ”

"This ............"

Hearing this, the fat man also showed a helpless wry smile.

"I don't know about that, Thomas. All I know is that the ladies are the special representatives of the B&M club, and many of the facilities we tried this time came from the B&M club. Their request was for the ladies to follow and record the inside of the ruins, and I don't know what was going on. But they did negotiate with the above, there were official documents, and they were in accordance with the procedures. ”

"Well, damn capitalists, I don't know what the hell they're up to. But I hope those ladies aren't here to mess with me! ”

Let's be honest. Rhodes didn't expect that he would join the investigation team in this capacity. Actually, this is not surprising. On the surface, B&M is just a virtual reality game production company. But if such a technique is only used in games, it would be hellish for them. The Dragons of Creation are not idiots, so they have always maintained close cooperation with many governments and militaries, after all, the military importance of this virtual reality technology is unquestionable. It would be strange for anyone to believe that they were just selling games to make a living. B&M has been able to grow to become a global multinational corporation today. No kidding.

It's just that Rhodes didn't expect that Aort and they would really intervene in this matter, even if B&M cooperated closely with other countries to make this kind of request, although this did make Rhodes and their own position much better. But B&M is in for it. But Rhodes doesn't feel so guilty about this, as the dragon of creation, the root cause of everything, it is natural to have such a little responsibility. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I'll take care of it, and Rod is not willing to do this kind of thing. But...............

"I think we're maybe a little too conspicuous..............."

Looking at the messy environment around him, Rod couldn't help but sigh. Compared to the heavily armed soldiers with serious expressions around them, and the "proud sons of the sky" who are full of aura and are communicating in words that are completely incomprehensible, they are more like scouts going out on an outing. The canaries are listening to music and reading novels, and the two little bubblegums are cheering and chasing each other, typical of bear children. Irene and Lydia were also smiling and whispering beside them, and it was obvious that they were still very satisfied with their trip to another world in the past few days.

It's just that compared to those well-dressed professionals, Rhodes and others wore uniformly printed clothes with the words "B&M". Rhodes wore an all-black high-necked uniform that looked like a lean high-level official, and the rest of the people were dressed in a contemporary style, all of which were special uniforms that were easy to move around, convenient and safe.

And according to Little Bubblegum, they look like the Alien sent those researchers and crew members who don't know the truth to send them to their deaths, and then when everything is exposed, they sneer and watch the protagonists desperately struggle behind the monster chase - the little guy is quite satisfied with this character. Of course, in Rhodes' opinion, they probably don't care about making a cameo by the way.

Right now, Rhodes and the others are in the depths of a rolling mountain range, where the terrain is steep and close to the polar circle, and they can't even get in, so they can only rely on helicopters to transport supplies, which is also a trouble. Because of this, the excavation of the ruins here has not been smooth, and the occasional snow and ice storms have caused frequent disruptions to traffic. Therefore, there are not as many people here as there are several other ruins, and even the soldiers used to protect them only come in two teams. Of course, it is claimed that the climate here is complicated, and there is no way to transport too many soldiers at one time. And the fact is that this is also the hand and foot that Rhodes asked Bilan's heart to do, after all, the scene of chaos erosion was also seen by Bilan's heart through monitoring, and no abnormalities have been found in other ruins at present, otherwise after so many years of excavation, what should have happened is not too early. It can be seen that the danger of the last relic may be very high, send fewer people, and the danger of being eroded by chaos is less, at least even if something happens, it will be easier for Rhodes and the others to kill, right?

Because of this, under the secret dispatch of the Heart of Bilan, the number of people here is the least among all the ruins. There were no more than fifty people, including soldiers, except for Rhodes, and not only that, but after the last supplies arrived, all the external communications here would be cut off, and no planes would come. Unless Rhodes personally contacts the heart of Bilan, this group of people will be waiting to be trapped and killed here!

From this point of view, they are really right to say that they are the boss behind the scenes.........

"I think you already know."

Standing in the brightly lit hall, looking at the people in front of him, Thomas said with a serious expression.

"This time our mission is to excavate the ancient ruins in the mountains, which are not very dangerous, because we have been exploring here since a few years ago, but we have not been able to make the trip due to financial reasons. And now with your help, we can start digging the first layer of the ruins as quickly as possible, although the ground is higher, but after our exploration, we can be sure that there are no creatures inside, but you still need to be careful. Because there are probably some traps in the ruins, please don't walk around..............." Saying this, Thomas stared at Rod and the others in particular, and the others also turned their heads to look at the people in front of them with puzzled eyes at the moment. I have to say that they are also very puzzled why Rhodes and the others are here, after all, judging from their age, they are all teenagers and a young man in his early twenties. To say that the person sent by the B&M company is a little too unobtrusive. After all, the so-called hairless mouth is not firm. Rhodes and others don't have any prominent backgrounds and experiences, so it's no wonder that they don't feel at ease with these people. But no one thinks these people are any threat to them, after all, they are all children.

And Thomas didn't say much, just stared at Rod and the others with dissatisfaction. But in the face of their gaze, Rhodes and the others were not cramped at all, but still did their own things, even the little bubblegums who were originally the most grumpy were also calm at the moment, and they didn't care about everyone's eyes. Seeing that they didn't react, Thomas didn't want to say anything, he was just a scholar and didn't know much about the world, so he snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction, and then continued to speak. “……… Especially for those who have little experience, although there should be no monsters such as poisonous insects and snakes in the ruins, if you leave alone and leave the team because you are too curious, it is difficult to guarantee that something will happen. Therefore, I hope that you will all follow the orders! If someone disobeys the order, then please leave! ”

At this point, Thomas didn't say anything more, but waved his hand.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, let's go!"

Hearing his words, everyone who had already prepared suddenly got up and walked towards their destination under the escort of the soldiers, while Rhodes glanced curiously at the bubble (X2) who was smiling and following him.

"It's a shame you guys to hold back."

This did surprise Rhodes, because according to Rhodes' impression of Bubbles, Bubbles would never be so kind to the other party's behavior of looking down on them. She is not a reasonable person, it is strange that she should not talk back to her face and make the other party half angry, let alone that there are two people now, and the danger has doubled. In this case, he obediently didn't talk back, which really made Rod a little curious.

In the face of Rod's inquiry, the bubbles showed a sinister smile.

"Of course, the head of the group, at this time in the movie, those who oppose the protagonist's speech are all dead goods, the so-called behind-the-scenes boss, is to follow the protagonist quietly until they are killed, the idiot's words are put aside for the time being, and he will look good in the future!"

"That's right, when that time comes, let's show that idiot how good we are!" (To be continued......)
