I shouted a few times over there, but there was no response. Zhao Hu behind me even asked me if I had discovered anything.
I replied: "There seems to be someone lying on the ground in front of me, but I'm not sure if it's a person yet. I have to go over and take a look. Please wait for me where you are."
"Don't!" Zhao Hu immediately became anxious: "You are already at the edge of my sight now. If I go forward I won't be able to see you. What will happen if you can't come back later?"
I looked back and saw Zhao Hu's figure looming. Indeed, as long as I walked another ten meters away, we might not be able to see each other.
I took out my flashlight, turned it on, and shined a light on the black spot. It did look like a person.
Then I shined my flashlight at Zhao Hu again: "I'll shine my flashlight at your head office. As long as you can see the light of my flashlight, it's only a few dozen meters ahead, not very far. Don't worry too much." "
"Okay, I'll also walk forward and try not to be too far away from you." Zhao Hu said.
Naturally, I hurriedly stopped him. I said that the ten of us were like a complete chain. It would be fine if I alone broke away. If he also broke away and couldn't find anyone else when he looked back, then neither of us would be able to go back.
After my persuasion, Zhao Hu had no choice but to wait where he was.
As I walked towards the black spot, I kept praying in my heart:
The man was lying motionless on the ground, maybe he was dead, I hope he wasn't a country boy.
When there was still a little distance away from the black spot, I used a flashlight to shine over it. Naturally, I could see it more clearly in this photo. It was indeed a person, but judging from the clothes on his body, he was not a country boy. So far. It was a relief for me.
When I walked up to him, I recognized this person based on the clothes he was wearing. He was a member of the archaeological team. He was the strongest one in his forties and had the first conflict with them before. At that time, he almost started a fight with Zhao Hu.
This guy was lying head down on the sand. I tried to call him first, but there was no response. Then I patted his back and found that it was already hard. He had obviously been dead for a long time.
I turned his body over and his face was revealed. He was indeed a strong man.
His eyes were closed tightly at this time, and his face was bruised and black. It didn't look like a normal death. I was about to check it carefully when suddenly a hell spider came out of his collar and then headed towards me. Attack.
This guy startled me, so I turned around and ran towards Zhao Hu.
After chasing for a while, the hell spider did not continue to chase, but ran back to the strong man, and I started muttering in my heart.
Was this guy poisoned and killed by a hell spider attack?
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Zhao Hu asked me as I was about to walk in front of him.
"One of the members of the archaeological team was found, the strongest middle-aged man, but he is already dead. It seems that he was poisoned by a hell spider."
Zhao Hu laughed: "Tsk, tsk, this guy is unlucky. He didn't die in my hands, but in the hands of Broken Spider. Let's go back and tell them, and come over to see him later."
"Um."
When we were walking back, Zhao Hu and I deliberately dragged our feet on the ground to leave a long trace. We would just follow the trace later and we would be on track.
After everyone returned to the camels, I looked at Professor Qin: "I have some bad news to tell you. You should be mentally prepared."
As soon as I said these words, the old professor's brows furrowed and his eyes began to flicker. Apparently he had guessed what was going on.
"Did...did you find a dead person?"
I said yes, one person died, a member of their archaeological team.
Jia Tingting, who was next to me, immediately grabbed my arm in a panic: "Who... is it a boy or a girl?"
At this time, the gentle man seemed to want to come up and ask me, but he was the timidest and most cowardly, and did not even ask.
After I told the situation about the dead person, the three of them seemed less nervous than before, especially Jia Tingting. It seemed that the relationship between this middle-aged man and them was not very close.
"How did he die?" Professor Qin asked.
"He was poisoned by a hell spider."
"Hell spider? Our guide told us about it, but we haven't seen this thing yet."
"It's hiding in that person's clothes now. Let's go over and take a look."
Later, we led the camel team to the place where the dead people were.
As soon as we got there, the hell spider came out from under him and ran towards us. Because we were prepared in advance, Zhao Hu pointed his gun at it and shot it.
With a sound of "Bang!", the iron sand shot out and made a pit about half a meter in diameter on the sand.
The hell spider had been beaten into pieces and mixed with the sand.
Little Braid also said that using a gun to shoot this thing was a bit overkill, but in fact it would die with just one step on it.
I said don't be careless, this thing is highly poisonous, use a gun if you can, and don't take any risks.
Professor Qin and the three of them couldn't wait to go over to see the man's condition, but I stopped them.
"Maybe there's a hell spider there too. Once bitten, it'll be troublesome, so check it out first before going over."
Later, Zhao Hu and I walked over with guns and checked carefully. After confirming that there were no other hell spiders, I asked Professor Qin and the other two to come over.
The three of them came over and squatted in front of the strong man, looking a little depressed.
Professor Qin said that this person was hired by them and was mainly responsible for security issues. To put it bluntly, he was a security guard. I wondered why they were not so nervous when they learned that the dead man was a strong man. It turned out that the relationship was not in place.
"Then how can we be sure that he must have been killed by the hell spider? What if he died of freezing or other reasons?" Xiao Zhuzi asked at this time.
Zhao Hu glanced at him and said: "If he froze to death, he would have froze to death not long after the sandstorm came, and he would have been buried in the sand soon after he froze. If he died on the surface, it must mean that he escaped from the cold." He was exposed to sandstorms and cold, and his face was black and blue, so he was obviously poisoned."
Sister Yuan also said: "That is, none of the three old professors froze to death. How can a man as strong as him freeze to death?"
The pigtail smiled bitterly and said, "No, I mean, is it possible that it has something to do with Grandma Ma?"
I said, who knows, but now that the hell spider has been discovered, let’s consider it as the culprit for the time being.
"What should I do with the body?" Zhao Hu asked.
I looked at Professor Qin and the three of them. After all, the people belonged to them, and we had to listen to their opinions.
The three of them looked at each other, and then Professor Qin said to me sheepishly: "Xiao Chen, can you please take the body with you? After all, we brought the person out. Now that the person is dead, we should take it back and hand it over." To his family, what do you think..."
Zhao Hu immediately interrupted him: "No, what are you thinking about? Bring the body with you? It's not certain whether we can get out alive, but you still have to bring him with you?"
Professor Qin looked even more embarrassed, but he still tried to fight for it: "I mean, if the Tutu Lake Oasis is nearby, if we can find it and get out of trouble in a day or two, then the body can also be Leave it to the relevant departments and let them handle it properly, otherwise what if we send people to look for it and they can’t find it.”
Zhao Hu snorted: "If you can't find it, you can't find it. Just go back and tell his family that he is dead. I don't think you understand our current situation. We are now at the point of life and death." We are on board, so why bother with a corpse? Besides, who is going to pull this corpse? Can you three carry it? Don’t expect to use our camels to carry it, as camels save energy."
