At around five o'clock in the morning, the aunt had already gotten up to prepare breakfast.
She prepared noodles and some porridge. At half past six o'clock, the lights in the three houses were already on, and you could hear the sound of everyone starting to wash up.
The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, so it is best to go early and return early to avoid encountering strong winds and heavy rains, when you may not even be able to find a place to take shelter from the rain.
Around seven o'clock, everyone had washed up and packed their bags. Several people were not used to getting up so early. They were sleepy and had no appetite. They saw Jin Ming, a professional explorer hired by Shenghong, serving himself a bowl of noodles and shaking his head.
He said: "The mountain road is not easy to walk. If you don't eat something to cushion your stomach, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk for a while."
Speaking from experience, Shenghong's people seemed to be very convinced of him. Perhaps the company ordered them to listen to Jin Ming's words when they came here. Even Wang Zao ate some porridge, and everyone else also had breakfast.
At half past seven, the sun rises and shines on the clouds, giving the white clouds a beautiful golden edge. On the ground, the breeze blows through the trees in the forest, and the birds sing beautiful songs. Everything is so quiet and beautiful.
The exploration team picked up their equipment and went into the mountain under the leadership of a local villager named Ma Jianguo. It was he who discovered the mountain road that had never been traveled before.
The terrain of this mountain range is quite high and the ecology is primitive. The group of people entered the forest. Soon, the aunt who was watching them in front of the house could no longer see them.
Many members of the exploration team rarely exercised on weekdays. Although they were focused on seeing Tanhua City as soon as possible, their physical strength could not keep up after a while, and they were panting from exhaustion. Jin Ming stood in front, glanced at the terrain, and said:
After resting for a while, those people let out a long breath and were busy looking for a place to rest.
Song Yuyu was carrying a bag, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, but he looked quite relaxed. He walked up to Jiang Yuer and Wang Zao while everyone was resting. Jiang Yuer had the habit of exercising, and at this time, it was considered a rare thing.
Wang Zao originally wanted to help carry the bags, but he didn't expect that he was the first person to gasp for breath from exhaustion.
"How long will it take?" a designer asked.
Ma Jianguo looked a little hesitant and just said it was coming soon. However, they had already been walking for more than an hour and it was not as fast as they thought they would arrive soon.
After resting for ten minutes, Jin Ming clapped his hands and asked everyone to endure it for a while. Resting for too long would make it even harder to walk.
Seeing that Nie Zhizhi's face was a little pale, Jiang Shixi took the initiative to put water and other things in Nie Zhizhi's bag. Nie Zhizhi couldn't refuse and could only keep thanking her. The burden was relieved, and it was finally a lot easier for her, at least she would not continue to fall behind.
The end of the team.
Many of them rarely come to such deep mountains and old forests, and they are a little surprised to see many scenes that can only be seen in the forest, such as hares passing by, squirrels climbing quickly on the trees, and unknown flowers and birds. But the more they go,
As they walked in, the forest became quieter and quieter, leaving only the sound of them stepping on the soil and crushing fallen leaves as they walked and climbed.
Jin Ming had been exploring the surrounding mountains all the way, but to his surprise, he still hadn't seen the intersection after walking for three hours. Therefore, some people couldn't help but complain whether there was a road or not, and whether Tanhua City was fake.
.Ma Jianguo’s face didn’t look very good, but he did remember this path and there was nothing wrong with it.
"I took someone there last time, I shouldn't have."
"The group did go with Uncle Ma once before, otherwise there would not have been this exploration, so please rest assured." The speaker was Wang Zao. Surprisingly, his words seemed to be quite effective.
Jiang Shixi took a sip of water and glanced at Song Yuyu, who explained in a low voice, "The chairman of Shenghong Group's surname is Wang."
Jiang Shixi almost choked. The way she looked at Wang Zao now was wrong. No wonder, it turned out to be a second-generation relationship, but she couldn't even tell it!
"But after walking for so long, haven't you tried other methods before? Has no one discovered such a big city before?" Chen Yi, a designer, asked seriously.
It wasn't that he thought too much, but after walking for so long they couldn't even find an entrance. It was actually different from the information they had learned before, so some designers expressed doubts and at least needed an explanation. Ma Jianguo didn't know how to explain it.
, could only repeat that he was definitely not going the wrong way. Wang Zao walked among everyone and took out a report from his bag, "Actually, we have done experiments before, but no matter what method we used, we could not detect any
No trace of any large structures in the mountains."
"Why is this so?"
"Isn't this a lie?"
"Teachers, please be quiet," Wang Zao continued, "Although the data shows so, Tanhua City must be in the mountains. It is probably only this kind of magic that can hide this city in the mountains for more than a thousand years.
It was only discovered today.”
Chen Yi was a little shaken. This sounds a bit magical, but are the wisdom of ancient people worse than that of today's people? Especially for designers like them who study ancient buildings, don't they choose to join this industry because of the beauty of ancient buildings?
Moreover, if there isn't something magical about it, why has Tanhua City only been found for so many years?
The two old seniors didn't seem surprised, and the information they received before coming was naturally more detailed.
The voices of disagreement instantly decreased a lot, but this was only temporary. If Tanhua City could not be found quickly, then any words would be useless.
After appeasing everyone, Wang Zao walked to Jiang Shixi and sighed. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Jiang Shixi's admiring eyes, "A real person doesn't show his face."
Wang Zao glanced at Song Yuyu and was not surprised. Instead, he said, "Hey, I'm so good and I really don't want others to ignore my talent."
Song Yuyu smiled helplessly, he was really an unusual rich second generation.
Jin Ming and Ma Jianguo went to find the way, and everyone else was on standby. Jiang Shixi asked Wang Zao to show her the data. After taking it, she looked at the record above and suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that there is a mysterious force hiding Tanhua City, such as an alien force?
But the next second she felt that she was overthinking. How could everything be related to aliens? Was she once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years? It doesn't seem right to compare Zhao Changfeng to a snake.
Okay, she smiled. Wang Zao on the side saw it and marveled, "Why, you can laugh just by looking at this kind of data. Do you know where Tanhua City is?"
Jiang Shixi returned the document to Wang Zao: "Maybe."
"You're really rude." Wang Zaoyuan was happy.
One is a professional explorer, and the other has been here for a long time and has been to Tanhua City twice. They are still looking here. Where do you have the courage to say such things?
Wang didn't take this seriously for a long time. At noon, everyone simply ate some dry food. Jin Ming and Ma Jianguo came back, shook their heads, and still couldn't find it.
Both of them were a little tired, so Wang Zao asked them to rest for a while. The atmosphere was a little quiet for a while, without the momentum and energy they had when they first went up the mountain.
But how can such a big city run away? That is even more nonsense.
The clouds in the sky are getting thicker, gradually converging from all directions to the top, casting a layer of shadow.
Jiang Shixi glanced at the northeast direction. They passed by a dense grass here. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to go there and have a look.
