Chapter 1831: Ruins
Bai Chen's argument with Ken once again attracted the attention of others, and Bai Chen angrily accused Ken.
Ken also came to his senses at this time, he felt that he was indeed too reckless this time, he didn't expect that he would do such an obvious thing.
"Ken, you're going too far. Eddie's face was also bad, after all, this matter was not a trivial matter.
If Bai Chen had to dig deeper, even if it was himself, it would be difficult to keep Ken.
"Teacher, I know he wasn't in the tent, that's why I burned his tent, I didn't plan to kill him, I just taught him a lesson. Ken argued.
At this time, if he said that he missed, it is estimated that other people would not believe it, but Ken was secretly angry in his heart, why did Bai Chen run to Lilia's tent.
"Okay, that's the end of the matter, Ken, you burn the white tent, then your tent will be given to the white, and as for yourself, go and rest in the car by yourself. β
Eddie actually still favors Ken, after all, Ken is his protΓ©gΓ© and his very important successor.
Although Eddie felt that Ken's actions this time were indeed very inappropriate, he still felt that Ken was indispensable in the team.
Ken really stole the chicken this time, although he became more and more angry in his heart.
But he didn't dare to disobey Eddie's orders, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.
Bai Chen shrugged, and he didn't plan to pursue it to the end.
But after this incident, Ken didn't dare to play any more tricks.
The next day, the archaeological team packed their bags and continued on their way.
Bai Chen was still sitting in a car with Uncle Will, and the two chatted as always.
"Boy, okay. I just told you about Lilia on the way yesterday. You went to her tent that night. β
"What. Actually, I expected Ken to burn my tent and deliberately ran to her tent to take refuge. β
"If Lilia doesn't have a crush on you, how can you let you into her tent. β
"It's very simple, I'll give her a deworming medicine, she still doesn't want it. β
"But what's the recipe for your anthelmintic medicine? I found out today that the snakes and insects that were several kilometers away are gone. β
"Actually, the formula itself is nothing special, but after the insect repellent is set on fire, the insect repellent is burned by the flame. It will release a special gas, and if the snake and insect smell the slightest bit, they will flee with their lives. β
"When you come back, you give me the recipe. β
Uncle Will is a field expert of the archaeological team, and he is responsible for the survival of the archaeological team in the wild, so he is quite interested in this aspect.
As we continued to go deeper, something went wrong with the off-road vehicle in the back.
In order to move on, the crowd had to give up a lot of salutes and let an off-road vehicle squeeze six people.
When he first set off, Eddie felt that Bai Chen and Ken were not on the right path. So separate the two.
Now that six people are crammed into a car, the atmosphere has become awkward.
"White. Are you familiar with Prince Abu?" asked Add.
"Recognize. Bai Chen replied indifferently.
"Is that all?" Eddie obviously didn't believe it, Bai Chen just knew.
In order to send Bai Chen to the archaeological team, Prince Abu even said very serious things to himself to force himself to compromise.
Everyone chatted in the car without a word, only Ken hid in the corner, no one spoke, and was always sulking there.
However, as we continued deeper into the desert, the desert weather began to get a little overcast and the wind became stronger.
At this time, Uncle Will suddenly stopped the car: "I can't go on, I feel that a sandstorm is coming, we had better find a place to hide, if we come into contact with the sandstorm head-on, we will be buried alive." β
"I'm against it!" Ken said immediately, "It's not far from the ruins now, if you can drive faster, we can reach the ruins long ago, and we don't need to worry about sandstorms in the ruins." β
At this moment, Ken is like a grenade, which will explode at any time, and he has a lot of dissatisfaction with everyone.
"If you hadn't been careless and didn't notice that the tank was empty, the car wouldn't have broken down, and we wouldn't have slowed down. Uncle Will retorted sharply.
In the distance, the sky was already covered by a black cloud, and it was spreading in their direction.
Bai Chen's brows furrowed: "Uncle Will, I also think we had better hurry up to the ruins, this desert storm is not small, if we can't find a shelter, we will be very troublesome." β
There are generally several ways to deal with a sandstorm in the desert, if it is a small sandstorm, it is to hide behind the camel, if it is a little larger, you have to dig a sand pit in place, and then let the team hide in the sand pit, and then let the camel or cart block the wind.
If you encounter a large sandstorm, you must find a place to take shelter from a rocky cliff or something, which can change the desert terrain.
Bai Chen has a lot of experience in desert travel, and the sandstorm in front of him is a super sandstorm above it, and ordinary buildings can't even resist this super sandstorm.
"Bai, what did you find?" Uncle Will couldn't help but worry when he saw that Bai Chen actually agreed with Ken, if it wasn't for the fact that the situation was really serious, Bai Chen couldn't be in the same camp as Ken.
"If we can't find a solid shelter, we're all going to die here. Bai Chen said solemnly.
"You're holding on. Uncle Will directly increased the horsepower, and the off-road vehicle immediately sped up in the desert.
The buggy sped through the desert as if it were sand surfing, sprinting between the dunes.
Everyone watched with concern as the darkness was getting closer and closer, it was the dust in the sky.
At this time, a complex of buildings also appeared in the distance, only three or four kilometers away from them.
"It's here! It's here!
Suddenly, everyone felt that it was dark in front of them, and a sandstorm had hit.
However, this is only the wind force in the early stage, and the real wind wall has not yet arrived.
The buggy is like being driven in absolute darkness, with visibility of less than three meters.
The speed of the car also became extremely slow, and everyone wore scarves to keep the sand out of their mouths and noses.
"Damn...... The car broke down! It looked like there was sand in the engine!" the buggy came to a halt suddenly. Uncle Will tried to launch several times. I couldn't start the car.
At this time. Eddie immediately ordered: "All get out of the car, everyone brings their own packages, and everyone moves forward hand in hand." β
"Teacher, we gave up on this cart with our supplies?" Ken immediately exclaimed, questioningly.
"Then you're going to die here with supplies!!" Eddie snorted.
Ken didn't dare to speak, and everyone got out of the car, holding hands with each other, and moved forward in a straight line. Uncle Will walked in the front, and Eddie was weak, so at the end, let the people in front help him block the wind.
In this short two-kilometer journey, they walked for more than an hour.
Finally, the ruins of the complex were reached, and with these ancient buildings to resist, the wind became less terrifying.
Many of these buildings have been weathered, but most have survived the test of time and nature. So everyone was safe for the time being.
Along the way, everyone tried to talk as little as possible, and Uncle Will led the way.
Uncle Will is holding a compass in his hand. Although they also have satellite navigation, there is magnetic interference in many places, and the original compass is the most effective.
The compass used by the archaeological team is generally specially made to minimize magnetic field interference.
"Over there, the underground entrance to the ruins!" Uncle Will whispered.
After more than twenty minutes of slow movement, everyone finally reached the entrance to the underground and was finally no longer disturbed by the sandstorm.
Everyone packed up their clothes and patted off the sand, everyone was disgraced, except for Bai Chen.
In fact, Bai Chen was the easiest, although this sandstorm was violent, it was no threat to Bai Chen.
"This sandstorm is so abnormal, it's lasted too long. Uncle Will said suspiciously.
The crowd also felt that there was a storm theory in the desert that the bigger the storm, the shorter the duration, and if it was normal, the storm they encountered should not last more than an hour.
However, the duration of this storm was outrageously long.
"Could it be that a mysterious force here is blocking the approach of outsiders? Sera said worriedly, "Just like the curse that the Egyptian archaeological team encountered." β
In the eighteenth century, Egypt has been excavated and investigated by many archaeological teams, but at that time, technology was not developed, and many archaeological teams had unnatural events, so the curse of the pharaoh has been circulating in the archaeological community.
The ancient pyramids of Egypt have also become a nightmare in the archaeological world, there are too many ancient secrets, but there are very few teams willing to go to Egypt for archaeology.
"Sela, you are an archaeologist, not a theologian. Eddie looked at his daughter dissatisfied: "You must retain the rigor of a scientific researcher, and don't speculate until it is confirmed." β
The sandstorm outside the entrance was still going on, and there was no way out for everyone, at least until the sandstorm stopped, and they could only continue to go deeper.
Everyone's eyes were all looking at the dark and narrow underground passage, Bai Chen touched his chin, looking at the deep darkness, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"Ken, Will, get your weapons out. β
Add ordered that both Ken and Will were carrying guns in the team, also to ensure the archaeology went smoothly.
Except for Bai Chen, everyone wore a searchlight on their hat, but because of the dust in the tunnel, the visibility of the searchlight was also very limited, no more than ten meters away.
After walking for a few minutes, but still not seeing their heads, Eddie suddenly shouted softly, "Stop." β
Everyone looked at Eddie suspiciously, and Eddie's face was serious and solemn: "There seems to be a geographical illusion here. β
There was a hint of surprise in Bai Chen's eyes, in fact, he had already discovered it, but he didn't expect Eddie to find out as well.
The so-called geographical illusion is a special name in the archaeological field, the ancient civilization is not as useless as the modern civilization, there are still many magical things, such as this geographical illusion, through the special construction and internal structure of the building, people have an illusion.
And this illusion is very rare in today's architecture, and most of it is applied to magic. (To be continued.) )
