It was already afternoon when the airport shuttle arrived at the passenger terminal, and the minivan did not make any more stops in the city and went straight to the Lianchi Mountains.

In the back seat of the minivan, Yu Xian happened to be able to see the contents of the trunk.

A section of the barrel is exposed in the place where the linen cloth is obscured.

This is normal, archaeological teams often need to watch out for wild beasts in mountain exploration, and the team always has some personnel with official gun plates and carries hot weapons.

Large-scale archaeological sites, which have become official key projects, will be equipped with troops.

Bai Guanshan mentioned in his introduction to Yu Xian that the newly discovered fossil pits in Yushen City are very small, and the personnel and equipment allocation are not high.

Having said that, Yu Xian is already very grateful.

The thesis advisor helped to turn the tide and changed the graduation thesis to the graduation achievement assessment at the critical moment, giving Yu Xian a week to get the results.

No matter how small the fossil pit is, Yu Xian has to race against time with an attitude of gratitude and hard work.

To put it another way, if it is a huge key project of fossil engineering, there is no chance for Yu Xian to enter through the back door temporarily.

"Little brother Yu Xian." The earth monkey sitting in the co-pilot in front turned his face sideways, "You should have gone down to the ground yourself, right?" ”

"Yes, I have worked in the mountains with the group in the past three or four years, although I can't get into any big projects, but some small and medium-sized sites have gone to do chores."

It's not too much to brag about, Xianghe College really doesn't offer much of an internship program, and students can apply for a small paleontology project around Honolulu and neighboring cities, or an internship in a museum.

There were no courses in the junior and senior years, and Yu Xian often went outside.

The school itself is not good, and the grades are average, so at least you have to brush a few more foundations on your resume.

Brother Dadao swept the rearview mirror, "Little brother is quite modest, everyone is mixed on the road, I can see the smell of mud and sand on your body." ”

He is a pangolin with nearly ten years of seniority, and his eyes are very vicious.

After being mixed in the inverted bucket for a long time, he went down to the grave a lot, and his body was inevitably contaminated with the smell of mud and sand close to the earth.

This is not a smell and taste in the physical or chemical sense, but a temperament that can only be seen by an insider.

When we met outside the passenger transportation center station before, the reason why Brother Dadao didn't test Xian too much was because he sensed that Yu Xian had a faint smell of mud and sand.

The so-called stand-in messengers will attract each other.

After chatting a few words, Yu Xian felt that these two members of the archaeological exploration team looked a little fierce and ruthless on the surface, but they were actually very talkative, and they were all mixed in a circle and could talk.

It's a pity that the chat environment is not very good, and the deeper you go into the Lianchi Mountains, the more difficult the road becomes.

This majestic mountain range stretches through many cities, across temperature zones, and encompasses the natural scenery of the second and second confluences, and is deep in mostly untouched virgin forests.

It is known as "the hidden dragon rises from the snow, and the goddess comes out of the lotus pond".

Usually look at the satellite aerial pictures and peripheral tourism promotion, the scenery is beautiful.

But driving into it in person, especially on the wild mountain road where the flat road surface disappeared, Yu Xian only felt that the overnight meal was about to come upside down.

The deepest fossil pit I've been to during my internship before wasn't so wild...

"Brother Dadao, how long do we have to fight?"

Yu Xian asked, and Brother Dadao responded with a smile, "You can be content to be carried up like this, and when you go to a place where there is no road ahead, it is even worse to rely on two legs to enter the mountain." ”

The night had already covered the world, and Yu Xian felt like a dice, thrown into an opaque box and swaying up and down.

The mobile phone has been fully charged in the van, but unfortunately the bump is too bad, and the signal has been completely cut off, so I can't distract myself by playing with the mobile phone.

chirping

The van leaned forward slightly, and the body stopped.

Ahead of you is a hillside with dense vegetation, and it is impossible to continue driving.

"That's it, take something into the mountains, walk for a while, and then rest."

Brother Dadao got out of the car with a quick movement, and Yu Xian felt a little strange in his heart.

There has never been an overnight rush before, at most overnight in the wild, after all, fossils have been lost there for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, and there is no difference between a day early and a day late.

However, this time it is an exploration team that entered through the back door, and it is a newly discovered fortified stone pit, so perhaps the early protection work is arranged more tightly.

Brother Dadao hid the van in the bushes, covered it with a tarp, and then took out a thick mobile phone.

There is no signal in the deep mountains and old forests, and ordinary communication equipment cannot contact the outside world.

"Uncle Dong, we've arrived at the parking place."

Brother Dadao unloaded the luggage and reported a message to the boss by the way.

"Hmm... Uh, huh?! ”

The originally calm response voice suddenly rose an octave, and Brother Dadao looked at Yu Xian in a daze.

"What? We have received someone, and this little brother has followed us to the Lotus Pond Mountains. Oh... Yes?! I asked. ”

Temporarily moving the satellite phone away from his face, Brother Dadao asked Yu Xian.

"Hey, haven't you heard of other companions coming?"

"Nope." Yu Xian answered this question once at the bus station, "Anyway, Teacher Bai is only a student like me." ”

"Uncle Dong, it's like this... Yes, he is from the Bai family. ”

Yu Xian listened silently with a puzzled expression, and the other party mentioned the Bai family, and it seemed that there was a big family behind Professor Bai.

"Huh? What did you say? The Ye family... Okay, that's no way, whoever let these big families send people didn't make it clear before, although it's just a small task of preliminary exploration, but we ordinary pangolins should also be respected. ”

Brother Dadao agreed a few words again, and his eyes changed a little.

On the phone, Uncle Dong didn't hear that the Bai family sent someone over.

So, this student of the so-called Teacher Bai...

Speculating in his heart that there is always a possibility, Brother Dadao's attitude is as usual.

As soon as the call ended, Yu Xian hurriedly stepped forward, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hey, my boss above said that there was another little brother of the Ye family who was coming, and the elders of their family didn't say it in advance, how would we know."

"The Ye family..."

Yu Xian thought about it for a while, Xianghe College did not have a professor surnamed Ye.

It may be a student from another school, or a local student from Yushen City who came to intern.

"So what now? How is he going to get in? ”

"I can't do it."

Uncle Dong said the latest information on the phone, the descendant of the Ye family is really outrageous, and he actually followed the official archaeological team.

As a result, the information checked by the family was completely incorrect, and the archaeological work was secret, Ye Tianze was directly taken away, disrupting the official work order, and detained for 15 days.

If you don't say something, you're asking for trouble.

The current hidden danger is this boy of questionable origin.

Brother Dadao had suspicion hidden in his eyes, and he remained silent.

Uncle Dong knew that someone from the Six Peerless Households was coming, but he didn't hear that the disciples of the Bai family participated.

Maybe it's just that the information is not smooth, or maybe there is something really wrong with this person called Yu Xian.

In any case, advanced mountain.

Brother Dadao has a companion, and the other party is alone.

The advantage is mine!
