"It's impossible for someone to separate us intentionally."
The geologist murmured.
The other two people turned their heads to look at him in unison, staring at him with bright and strange eyes.
He quickly raised his hand and smiled:
"I'm just guessing."
"No."
Ellis nodded with a thoughtful expression and said affirmatively:
"You may be right. To the members of the expedition team, we are just weak scholars without much experience. We can even be said to be a burden."
"But now there happens to be only the three of us here, surrounded by such rotten monsters. If we are not careful, we may disappear into the shadows."
"So, what you mean is..."
Wilson raised his eyebrows after hearing what Ellis said, slightly surprised.
"I suspect that someone deliberately separated us, maybe even someone from the expedition team." Ellis' tone was a little cold. She held the revolver in her hand, and there was a coldness in her steel-blue eyes. "Maybe it's just someone from the expedition team."
They think we are a heavy burden and want to get rid of us here."
She was never afraid to assume the worst about others.
Especially in such a bad situation.
"How is this possible!"
The geologist murmured that he was obviously at a loss when encountering such an unusual event for the first time.
"No, probably not."
Wilson crossed his arms and shook his head, his eyelids drooping slightly, his waxy eyes filled with thoughts and doubts.
"For this mission, it is very likely that it involves super ancient... well, items left over from ancient times. That's why the school arranged for me, an expert in ancient research, and Miss Ellis, you...
Historians, including William, examining the local geology are also very helpful to our research."
"Under such circumstances, the expedition team has no reason to deliberately separate us. Even in critical moments, they still need to take care of the scholars in the team."
Ms. Ellis had a puzzled look on her face:
"Aren't we going to rescue the previous team this time?"
"That's right."
Wilson stared at the red-haired lady strangely:
"Because their disappearance involves various aspects of ancient civilization, we must find the reason. Don't you know?"
"No……"
Ellis looked a little confused.
Geologists are even more confused:
"Aren't we setting off this time to investigate the ancient ruins that came in and out of the earth due to earthquakes and other reasons? What does this have to do with the previous expedition?"
Wilson's eyelids twitched and he quickly realized something. He stared at the red-haired lady in front of him in surprise:
"Why did you join the expedition?"
"My mentor is in the last expedition team." Ellis said with a straight face, biting his lip, looking a little confused, but he finally said it.
"In the letters he sent me before, his tone became more and more agitated, and he even made grammatical errors. Then he lost track with the last expedition team."
"My mentor is like a father to me. I wanted to know what happened in the last expedition, so I applied to the school to join this search."
Wilson stretched out his fingers and rubbed his temples, feeling his head throbbing with pain:
"So you two followed us without knowing anything about the situation of the previous team and our goals?"
Looking at the two blank faces.
Wilson felt his head hurt even more.
"Didn't Principal Lovecraft explain the situation to you?"
He took a deep breath and exhaled it. The stench in the air couldn't be ignored, but he couldn't care about it now.
I thought that all the people I met were big guys, with a newbie like him.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a person like him who had just arrived in this world, leading two idiots who didn't even understand the mission.
"Why bother the principal with this kind of thing?" Ellis had real doubts on her face, which actually added a hint of cuteness to her cold face. "The principal is very busy every day, with the deployment of expedition team personnel and
Notifying specific tasks does not require the principal to worry about it.”
Then why did Principal Aijiyi call him to talk about this in the middle of the night?
Wilson frowned, it seemed that things were not as simple as he imagined.
But now is not the time to dwell on this.
"Anyway, let's not mention these things for now." Wilson sighed, "William's guess may be right. Someone did deliberately separate us. But it shouldn't be as Ellis thought. Captain Lyndon may even be very serious at this time.
Want to find us."
"According to what I know, the entire hotel is now shrouded in shadow, and the situation outside is not optimistic. Their rooms are right next to ours, so they shouldn't be too far away. But we haven't met any old players.
They."
"Ms. Ellis's gunfire did not attract them."
"I guess they may have encountered some trouble."
…………
In fact, the situation was pretty much what Wilson had guessed.
Although the experienced Captain Lyndon didn't notice much abnormality when he first entered the hotel, he had experienced many crises, encountered many pagans, and even abnormal events, and his first reaction was that something was wrong.
This is an intuitive reminder.
He notified his team members immediately.
"Something's not quite right here."
He calmly glanced at the waiters in the hotel and the other guests dining on the first floor of the hotel, but he didn't find much out of the ordinary.
"Send some reinforcements over the truck. Nothing can go wrong with that thing."
He ordered the more reliable people in the team to go to the truck and watch the rest of the people, because he didn't find any special abnormalities, or even just his feelings.
Even if he is the captain, he can't force them to stay alert without sleeping. Besides, the ship can't arrive for the time being, and they still need to stay here for a few days. They can't be nervous all the time.
"The rest of you have a good rest, especially the two who are driving today."
"By the way, where are the three scholars?"
He frowned and asked his teammates around him.
The teammates used an uncertain tone:
"They just went up to rest."
"Too."
Captain Linden nodded in understanding. After all, he was a scholar and expert studying academics, and his physical strength was definitely not as strong as those of them who were running around.
After a rough day, you should be tired by now.
He smiled and patted his teammates on the shoulders:
"You should also go and rest as soon as possible."
"Thank you, captain."
His teammates gave a stiff smile.
On the shoulder that Captain Linden had just slapped, the rotten flesh slowly sunk in.
