“We really have nothing to do with Sadipong.”
"We are willing to cooperate with your work."
Hu Bayi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene:
"Fatty, stop scaring them. Look how pale they are."
Shirley Yang also comforted him, "Professor Chen, don't worry, Fatty was just joking."
Hearing Shirley Yang's words, Professor Chen and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at that moment, Lin Yang suddenly frowned:
"Everyone be careful, a blizzard is coming."
He looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds covering the sky and a howling wind.
"We need to get down the mountain quickly," Lin Yang said decisively.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly packed their luggage.
Ten minutes later, the group set off again.
The snow beneath my feet looked like an endless white desert.
Each step was accompanied by the crunching sound of snow underfoot.
The biting wind stung people's cheeks, but it couldn't dispel the doubts in everyone's hearts.
Shirley Yang, Fatty Wang, and Hu Bayi followed closely behind Lin Yang.
They had sharp eyes and were constantly watching for any movement ahead.
At the same time, he kept an eye on Professor Chen and the others behind him.
"Boss, do you really think Professor Chen and his team are alright?" Fatty Wang couldn't help but ask, his tone revealing a hint of doubt.
Lin Yang tilted his head slightly, his gaze deep:
“Sadipeng has lived with them for so long, it’s impossible that they are completely unaware of this.”
"I believe there must be something wrong with them."
"So, you all keep a close eye on them from now on and see if there's anything unusual."
Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Fatty Wang immediately replied:
"Boss, should I take action? Let's chop them up."
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi gently tugged at Wang Pangzi's sleeve, signaling him to calm down:
"Fatty, the boss told us to keep an eye on things, so don't be so impulsive."
Fatty Wang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I just wanted to solve this problem once and for all."
Lin Yang didn't turn around, but said calmly, "No rush, let's see what tricks they have up their sleeves."
Just then, Wang Zhenqiu ran up from behind.
He said, "Yang Ge, is Xinjiang your next destination? I might not be able to accompany you."
Lin Yang turned to look at Wang Zhenqiu, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Oh? Why can't I go?"
Wang Zhenqiu explained, "That's Lao Meng's territory, so it might be inconvenient for me to go there."
Lin Yang nodded, indicating his understanding: "Qiu, you know how to reply when we get back, right?"
Wang Zhenqiu chuckled: "Don't worry, Yang-ge, I know what to say."
Lin Yang nodded in satisfaction, took a business card from his pocket, and tossed it to Wang Zhenqiu:
"Come find me at Pawnshop No. 8 in the capital when you have time."
Wang Zhenqiu took the business card, glanced at it, and then carefully put it away.
"Then, Yang-ge, don't think I'm a bother when the time comes."
Chapter 76: Professor Chen. You keep acting, I'm watching. That old bastard Anliman has problems too!!!
After leaving the Kunlun Glacier, the archaeological team rushed to Xinjiang without stopping.
Starting from the southwestern end of Bosten Lake, they traveled westward along the Peacock River.
Old Meng, who was in the team, left early due to other urgent tasks.
Fortunately, they were blessed with a new guide, Anliman.
This elderly man is hailed as a living map of the desert.
Over the next few days and nights, the archaeological team trudged through the desert.
Under the scorching sun and amidst rolling yellow sand, such an environment would be an extreme test for anyone.
However, what's strange is...
Although most of the team members were exhausted.
However, the behavior of a few people was unusually strange.
During a break.
Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi, and Fatty Wang secretly approached Lin Yang.
"Boss, don't you think there's something off about those guys?"
Hu Bayi said mysteriously:
"I've been observing them for a long time."
"They were clearly exhausted, but there wasn't a single drop of sweat on their foreheads."
Fatty Wang chimed in:
"Yeah, it's so strange. A normal person wouldn't be able to stand this kind of weather by now."
"Unless they are not ordinary people like us."
Shirley Yang glanced at Professor Chen in the distance with a complicated expression, and slowly said:
"Although I hate to admit it, they do have problems."
Lin Yang smiled after hearing this and asked in return, "Then do you think Anliman has any problems?"
Hu Bayi thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I haven't realized it yet, but this old guy has been living in the desert all his life and knows the environment here like the back of his hand."
Fatty Wang, however, patted his chest dismissively:
"I've disliked that old man for a long time."
"If the boss asked that question, then there must be something wrong with him."
"Should I go and interrogate them?"
Hu Bayi frowned, unconsciously covering his head with his hand, and said, "Fatty, calm down, don't be so irritable."
A hint of doubt flashed in Shirley Yang's eyes as she looked at Lin Yang and asked, "Boss, are you saying that Anliman also has a problem?"
Lin Yang smiled slightly, gazing intently ahead, and said:
"Someone who's been living in the desert for so long!"
"It's a miracle that I'm still alive."
After listening to Lin Yang's words, the three of them fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, as if startled by something, Anliman leaped onto the camel, muttering to himself:
"Oh my gosh... Run fast!"
"Any later and we'll be buried in the black sand hell."
743 Lin Yang glanced at the horizon.
Not far away, countless swathes of yellow sand roared in like yellow dragons.
"Follow up." He gave the order, and everyone followed closely behind.
The gale swept up the flying sand, as if to devour them.
The world was shrouded in darkness, with only the sounds of the wind and the clatter of sand echoing in my ears.
After an unknown amount of time, someone suddenly realized that Professor Chen was missing.
"Boss, Professor Chen has fallen behind. What should we do?" Hu Bayi asked anxiously.
Lin Yang waved his hand, signaling them to continue forward:
"You all stay with Anliman and don't let him get away."
"Professor Chen, please leave it to me."
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang exchanged a glance and decided to listen to Lin Yang.
They continued to chase after Anliman.
Lin Yang, on the other hand, changed direction and went to find Professor Chen.
Amidst the swirling sandstorm, Lin Yang could vaguely make out a figure lying on the ground.
As he approached, he saw that it was Professor Chen.
But strangely, Professor Chen did not take any action.
It just lay quietly on the ground, as if waiting for something.
Lin Yang sneered at this and simply stood there, motionless.
He simply watched Professor Chen's every move with deep, penetrating eyes.
The sand grains danced in the wind, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Professor Chen lay on the ground, while Lin Yang watched from a distance.
A delicate standoff developed between the two.
