The sharp mouth muttered with some dissatisfaction: "I'm not doing it for everyone's benefit."
Zhao Hu had the same attitude as Jianzui in dealing with Professor Qin's body. At this time, he even walked up to Jianzui and patted Jianzui's shoulder to express comfort.
As the commander-in-chief, I naturally have the right to make decisions.
I didn’t have any ink, so I told the archaeological team very straightforwardly: “Professor Qin’s body cannot be taken with us. On the one hand, we don’t have much supplies, and even those who are alive may not be able to go out. It would be more troublesome to bring a corpse with us. Secondly, we just My friend said that if Professor Qin’s corpse turns into a fake corpse on the way, who will be responsible if someone is harmed?”
The short-haired woman snorted and said: "There are so many unlucky things. It's impossible for every corpse to be parasitized by those bugs. We were in the dark clouds before, but now that the sky is clear, there are still evil things. As for What kind of supplies can a dead man consume? Will he eat or drink your water? At most, the camel needs to exert some strength and let the camel carry it."
Zhao Hu sneered and asked: "The question is, should your camels carry them, or should our camels carry them? You only have two camels in total now. You don't even have enough people to ride them, and you have to eat camels to survive on the road. Right? Can’t we let our camels carry us then?”
"You have so many camels, can you kill me if you find a camel to carry you?"
"It's okay if you have to carry a piggyback. When the time comes, would you like you and Professor Qin to ride the same camel? If you are willing, I will be the first to raise my hands in favor of taking Professor Qin with you."
As soon as Zhao Hu said these words, the short-haired woman was speechless and her face turned red.
Apparently she didn't want to ride the same camel as the corpse.
Jia Tingting hurriedly expressed her position at this time: "I am willing. Can Professor Qin and I ride the same camel? If he fakes a corpse or something, let him be the first to harm me."
"no."
I decisively refused: "The team cannot take any risks. If you still want to follow us back, just follow the command. If you must bring back Professor Qin's body, then we will go our separate ways."
The tall nose pointed at Professor Qin's body and glared at me: "Take a good look at him. He was killed for helping you. If you abandon him now, it's like abandoning a dead cat or dog. Where is your conscience?" ?Are you worthy of him?"
To be honest, I did feel a little guilty and uncomfortable, but I had no choice.
"I only promised Professor Qin to take you back, but I didn't promise to take his body back. Just think of it as his old man giving his life in exchange for your chance to live. Otherwise, we would never agree to take you, and Professor Qin's spirit in heaven must be the same. I hope I won’t take him with me and try to create a chance for the team to survive.”
Jianzui was still asking me in a low voice from behind: "Are you crazy? Do you really want to take them back? Didn't you agree to the old man to fool him? Are you really planning to..."
I turned around and raised my hand to Jianzui, signaling him to stop talking: "If Professor Qin can't stop the scarred man, so much food and water will be gone, and we will also die. He paid for it with his life, and I agree." I feel like I am not worthy of being a human being if we don’t keep our words, so I will try my best to take them back.”
"I agree too!" Xiaoye immediately raised her hand in agreement.
Sister Yuan also gave me a thumbs up: "Not bad, not bad, you are indeed the one I like. Brother Jianjun, you can do it."
Xiao Zizi also raised his hand at this time. He will always stand with Xiao Ye, so Xiao Ye agrees and he naturally agrees.
Brother Xiao Ma also expressed his stance at this time, leaving only Zhao Hu and Jianzui.
Zhao Hu probably knew that the matter was settled, and there was no point in struggling anymore, so he looked at Jia Tingting and said: "Okay, since everyone else agrees, then I agree too, but after we rescue you, You have to reward me well."
When Zhao Hu said the word "reward", he deliberately emphasized his tone, and everyone naturally understood the meaning.
Sister Yuan glared at him: "Old professor's body is still cold, is it interesting for you to make such a joke?"
Zhao Hu smiled cheekily: "I...am I kidding? I just wanted her to thank me. You are overthinking it."
When he was done, Zhao Hu patted his sharp mouth and said, "It's up to you. Show your attitude...forget it, your attitude doesn't matter either."
Sharp Mouth looked like he wanted to say something more. After hesitating for a moment, he glanced at the women opposite him. He didn't know what was in his mind, and immediately laughed: "Okay, okay, then take it with you."
At this time, the short-haired woman made another condition for us: "Then you give us some of the beef jerky. Professor Qin paid for it with his life, so we should share some of it, right?"
"Oh, are you going too far?" Sharp Mouth immediately glared at her: "Professor Qin's life is exchanged for all of you's chance to live. Isn't that enough? You still want to miss our beef jerky?"
Sister Yuan has always disliked short-haired girls, so she started to reject her at this time: "It's so fun to take you back. If we make arbitrary conditions again, don't blame us for going back on our word."
The photographer quickly pulled the short-haired girl aside and whispered in her ear.
I guess he told the short-haired girl about the stakes, and the short-haired girl stopped asking for beef jerky after hearing this. However, I felt guilty, so I went aside and took two beef jerky to them.
"Eat sparingly. If you are really greedy, take a small piece, put it in your mouth and chew it slowly. Don't rush to swallow it."
The photographer thanked me and took the beef jerky from my hand. He put one of them up and broke the other into several pieces, giving each person a piece.
Those students immediately stuffed it into their mouths and ate it, while the others put it away, obviously reluctant to eat it.
I think based on the determination of these students, if no one takes them to help them, they will definitely die in the desert.
As for how to dispose of Professor Qin's body, I think it would be best to cremate it. There is also a lot of rotten wood in the ruins of the ancient city, so there is no shortage of firewood.
However, the archaeological team did not agree with cremation, saying that the whole body should be kept. If Professor Qin's family wanted to get the body back safely, they could send someone here.
But this ancient city would become very evil at night, and it would be dangerous to bury corpses here. I asked the archaeological team to bury the corpses far away, in the sand dunes to the east of the ancient city, and just record the specific location.
As for the whole process of burying the corpse, no one from our tomb robbing team participated. It’s not that we were indifferent and unwilling to help, but that we had a more important problem and were waiting to discuss how to deal with it.
That means we still have to touch the Tangzi, but touching the Tangzi means that our identity will be exposed. How to deal with this problem is our top priority.
"I don't think it's necessary to let them know our identity." Xiao Zhuizi expressed his opinion at this time: "Let's ask them to go back to Liangban Mountain and wait while we touch the hall here. When we are done, we will go over and pick them up. That’s it.”
Zhao Hu chuckled, his smile full of sarcasm: "What about your brain? You abandoned them once before, and now you ask them to come back to Liangban Mountain. Can they believe you? If it were you, would you believe it? Besides, we told them that we came here to find someone, and now that we have found someone, logically we should leave here, so what reason do you have to stay here for a few more days?"
