He Nanfeng's senses were very keen and he noticed that Chu Xiang was looking at him. He lowered his head and glanced at Chu Xiang secretly with a sly look. He found that the guy who made him wary didn't look familiar, so he found a place far away from Chu Xiang.

Sit down.

After a while, Tao Gongchi arrived, glanced at the people in the hall, and said straight to the point: "Everyone here is all the personnel of this scientific expedition. Let's get to know each other. Come with me to pick up the materials for this operation later."

equipment."

"Tang Long." Tao Gongchi shouted.

Chu Xiang stood up.

"From now on, you are the captain of the escort team, and they are all under your control." Tao Gongchi said.

Chu Xiang was stunned for a moment, had Tao Gongchi been responsible for relevant actions? He didn't even know his origins, so he decided on the candidate rashly, which was like pushing everyone into a pit of fire.

Could it be that his identity has been exposed and Tao Gongchi knew his identity, so he made this arrangement. Although Chu Xiang was surprised, his face quickly returned to normal and his expression remained calm. Everyone in the escort team did not know Chu Xiang's origin and thought that Tao Gongchi had already

After making arrangements, they all looked at Chu Xiang. Several experts from the archaeological team paid little attention to this and looked away after taking one look.

"Please take good care of me." Chu Xiang smiled bitterly in his heart, his face was expressionless, and he bowed his hands in all directions.

Seeing that Chu Xiang did not refuse, Tao Gongchi added: "The escort will follow me to get the equipment. Mr. Ke, you go back and prepare. We will set off tomorrow morning."

After saying a few words, Tao Gongchi left straight away, followed by Chu Xiang. Everyone in the escort followed, and He Nanfeng followed behind, secretly looking at Chu Xiang.

When they arrived at the courtyard, there were two trucks parked in the yard. Tao Gongchi asked everyone to get on the truck. Chu Xiang and Tao Gongchi took one truck each. Two men who knew how to drive climbed into the cab and started the car. Everyone sat on the side of the truck.

, leaving the institute.

What surprised Chu Xiang was that He Nanfeng did not run to Tao Gongchi's car, but came to share the car with Chu Xiang. He looked at Chu Xiang with hidden eyes from time to time, wondering what his plans were.

The two vehicles came out of the yard, rolling up snowflakes all over the ground. The two drivers were probably a little excited after not driving for a long time. The two trucks seemed to be out of nowhere, speeding along and splashing passers-by with mud, snow and water.

Anyone who can afford to drive a car is not a good person, not to mention there are more than a dozen big men in the car. The passers-by who were splashed with dirt could only curse angrily and did not dare to catch up and cause trouble.

The truck sped along and soon arrived at the gate of a military camp. Tao Gongchi negotiated with the soldiers at the post for a while, and the two vehicles drove straight into the military camp.

There were not many people in the barracks openly, but secretly they were heavily guarded. Everyone was hiding in the dark, and no one dared to make any mistakes. The truck stopped in front of a warehouse, and Tao Gongchi negotiated with the soldiers who managed the warehouse. The soldiers led everyone

Entered the warehouse.

The soldier managing the warehouse pointed to a pile of things in the corner and said, "They're all here."

Tao Gongchi nodded and called to everyone: "Come on, get in the car."

Boxes of things were loaded into the car by everyone. There were wooden boxes and iron boxes. The boxes were not big, some were very heavy, and some were as light as nothing. No one knew what was inside.

There were not many things, and even one truck could not fit them. After moving the things, the truck left the barracks, and soon came to another barracks, and moved a lot more things onto the truck, which was enough to fill two trucks.

After moving the things, the truck drove to Anxi City Airport. Tao Gongchi directed everyone to move the things onto a military transport plane, and also drove several Warrior off-road vehicles up. The people returned to the institute and pulled half a truck of equipment over to move it.

By the time we got on the military plane and got it done, it was almost noon.

After preparing the things that should be prepared, Tao Gongchi took everyone to the mobile station for lunch. After everyone got to know each other, he told everyone that the institute would set out at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, so that everyone could get ready, and then went back with the nine members of the archaeological team.

.

Chu Xiang didn't talk much at the dinner. Everyone saw that Chu Xiang was taciturn and didn't pay much attention. Only a few people toasted a glass of wine, and Chu Xiang drank tea instead of wine. After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed, Chu Xiang

Xiang followed He Nanfeng out of the restaurant. He Nanfeng pretended not to know that Chu Xiang was following him, lowered his head and walked forward.

"He Nanfeng." Chu Xiang called after leaving the restaurant for a while.

He Nanfeng didn't seem to hear him and kept walking forward.

"Keep pretending and I'll make you just like Wu Buer again." Chu Xiang said nonchalantly.

He Nanfeng's body trembled, he turned around, raised his head with some fear, squeezed out a smile and said: "It turns out to be you, hero. I'm too young to see Taishan. I'm sorry."

"I don't care what you do with the scientific expedition team, you'd better not make trouble for me, otherwise you will know the consequences." Chu Xiang said.

"My hero, don't you dare." He Nanfeng nodded flatteringly.

"Go and find me a bronze sword like last time. I want it to be dug out of the imperial mausoleum." Chu Xiang said.

"Yes, yes, hero, I will definitely do it for you." He Nanfeng promised.

After Chu Xiang turned around, He Nanfeng walked away quickly.

Back at the institute, Chu Xiang asked for the detailed topographic map of Lop Nur and studied it carefully. The more in-depth the study, the more strange Chu Xiang felt. Logically speaking, Lop Nur was not the best nuclear test site, so why was it chosen for nuclear explosions?

, Chu Xiang was puzzled, and as far as the Lop Nur environment is concerned, it is not a place where it is easy to lose your way. Why weird things often happen is really puzzling.

When Chu Xiang stopped studying the map, it was already dark unknowingly. Apart from Tao Gongchi and one receptionist, the institute only had one liaison officer who was responsible for contacting and coordinating all parties. He was in a very miserable state and had to cook his own meals.

The vegetables are grown by oneself. If it were not for this archaeological operation and the allocation of funds, these researchers would probably be hungry every day.

Knowing that everyone in the institute was living in embarrassment, Chu Xiang bought a few kilograms of meat and came back. When he saw Chu Xiang carrying the barbecue, Tao Gongchi smiled in embarrassment and took the barbecue himself and handed it to Han Ruru.

Han Ruru smiled, took the barbecue, cut it and steamed it.

Han Ruru and the skinny girl Guo Yun'er quickly prepared the meal. No wonder a few of them were so thin. When ten people ate, the rice cooker was not even full. Apart from the barbecue Chu Xiang bought, there was only a plate of green vegetables and some chopped vegetables.

The crumbs of meat are not enough for Chu Xiang to eat all alone. With such living conditions, it is inevitable that everyone will have something to eat.

The ten of them ate in silence, occasionally saying a few words, which were all professional terms that Chu Xiang could not understand. Only Guo Yun'er was more talkative, asking Chu Xiang these and other questions from time to time.

Chu Xiang didn't want to be pretentious, so he picked up two green vegetables and finally couldn't help asking: "The government attaches so much importance to this operation and specially sends military planes to transport it. Why is it so rough?"

Tao Gongchi looked at the others with some embarrassment, smiled and said: "The funds are limited, so we can only make do. Anyway, the military will send people to help."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Han Ruru complained: "He didn't use it all to buy equipment."

Chu Xiangwaner: "You can just apply to the government for those equipments. Why do you have to buy them?"

"It's not as simple as you think." Tao Gongchi sighed, took two mouthfuls of rice, and said vaguely: "There are many doorways here. You can't get the equipment just by looking at it. Those people are just like vampires.

It’s better to beg them to squeeze in yourself.”

The atmosphere became a little heavy, and Han Ruru did not complain about Tao Gongchi this time.

These people obviously don't know much about the world. Only the liaison officers Zhong Zhiyi and Tao Gongchi can speak a little. Guo Yun'er is lively but young and doesn't understand the world at all. Han Ruru can't say a few good words except complaining. Everyone else can't say a few words.

He is like a dull gourd, but he is eloquent and eloquent when talking about his own research.

Chu Xiang could only smile bitterly. With such a group of people, he would definitely have a hard time in the future. For a group of scholars who only know their own profession, it is not easy for them to live stably in this world. They should be the same as Duan Meng.

Some meager allowances.

Several people ate very little. Except for Han Ruru, a stout middle-aged woman, and Tao Gongchi, who ate more, everyone else was full after just one bowl of rice. They put down their chopsticks and immersed themselves in studying something.

"Old Tao, who will the military send to assist?" Chu Xiang asked.

"There should be more than a dozen soldiers." Tao Gongchi was a little unsure.

As the leader of the archaeological team, he didn't even know this. Chu Xiang didn't know what to say.

Knowing that he would not understand anything, Chu Xiang stopped asking, chatted for a few words, and ran to the two old men's offices to quietly watch their research.

After dark, He Nanfeng quietly found Chu Xiang and gave Chu Xiang a long sword wrapped in cloth.

As soon as he held it in his hand, Chu Xiang knew that this must be a bronze sword stolen from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. It had the same feeling as the last one. This guy didn't even run away. He really brought an ancient bronze sword. He was not afraid.

Chu Xiang could kill him at any time, and he obviously had a big plan for Lop Nur.

"I don't care what you want to do. Just remember one thing. If you dare to hurt them even a hair, I will skin you." Chu Xiang said calmly.

"Captain, don't worry, I won't mess around, and I will try my best to help them if I can." He Nanfeng vowed.

"Have you notified Wu Buer?" Chu Xiang suddenly asked.

He Nanfeng was stunned, the veins in his neck throbbed, he lowered his head hard, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and after a moment he said tremblingly: "Yes."

Chu Xiang snorted.

It is not difficult to guess what He Nanfeng did. Combined with what Chu Xiang did in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, Wu Buer knew that Chu Xiang would definitely come back to look for He Nanfeng. After he got rid of the demonic energy in his head, he would definitely find him first.
