"It's best not to anger me with that bug in your belly." Chu Xiang said coldly, turned and left.
It wasn't until the sound of Chu Xiang's footsteps disappeared that He Nanfeng moved his legs tremblingly and left. In the winter, his face was covered with sweat and the clothes on his back were all wet.
After leaving the research institute, He Nanfeng slapped himself hard and murmured to himself: "I shouldn't come back again. What kind of evil did I do in my last life!"
Everyone in the institute had already gone to rest. Chu Xiang turned on the light in the reception hall and took out a bronze sword to look at it carefully. The slender bronze sword was yellow with no trace of patina. The eight sections were neat and straight, even if it was used with a lathe. The patina of the sword hilt has been removed and there are obvious polishing marks. It is obvious that the sword has been handled and played with by someone after it was unearthed.
After wrapping the bronze sword again and hanging it on his waist with a cloth strip, Chu Xiang lay down on the sofa, closed his eyes and fell asleep. He had a feeling that this time Lop Nur and his party would have an opportunity to break through the realm, and this sword would be the key.
When he got up early the next morning, Chu Xiang went out to have breakfast and packed some things back. Han Ruru was about to cook breakfast. When she saw what Chu Xiang had brought back, she smiled with a smile on her face, thanked her gratefully, and put the rice noodles on her face. Go back and call everyone for breakfast.
Knowing that it would be difficult to have time to eat safely in the future, the ten people ate much more than yesterday. Fortunately, Chu Xiang expected that the portion he bought was quite large, enough to feed ten people.
After everyone had eaten and rested for a while, Chu Xiang performed the captain's duties for the first time, gathering everyone and arranging various matters.
It wasn't until nine o'clock that the twenty-four people who had been waiting for a while gathered together. These guys probably wanted to make some trouble so that Chu Xiang would not be able to control them in the future.
Everyone stood crookedly, Chu Xiang ignored their standing posture, and after counting everyone's heads, he said: "I don't care where you come from or what you want to do. During this period, you'd better do what you should do, otherwise I will I don’t mind letting you become Lop Nur’s ice sculptures.”
The ice sculptures in Lop Nur, with a few understated words, carried the literary and artistic atmosphere of death. Everyone felt as if there was the God of Death looking down above their heads. They felt a little uneasy and stood up straighter unconsciously.
Chu Xiang stretched out his palm, and the wind and snow on his palm turned like a dragon, swept like a pillar, and instantly formed a two-meter-long popsicle. Everyone was horrified when they saw Chu Xiang's supernatural power. They all stood up straight. Chu Xiang picked up the popsicle. A man in the team with a look of disdain on his face was picked up by Chu Xiang. His hands and feet hung limply, and he was not hanging on the popsicle. No resistance.
They understood that Chu Xiang wanted to establish his authority, but this authority was too terrifying. Such strength was not something they could compete with. Everyone stood up straight, not daring to make any more trouble.
Chu Xiang snorted and put down the man on the popsicle. The popsicle plunged into the ground and disappeared. Everyone was even more horrified.
"Luo Feng, Zhao Bing, Qian Laosi, and Xu Ziliang, you are the captains of teams 1, 2, 3, and 4." Chu Xiang named them. These four people are the four with the highest strength, and they all have the aura of the marrow level. .
The four people stood out and looked at each other sideways. It was difficult to hide the strength between the same level. The four of them had known each other's strength for a long time. Unexpectedly, Chu Xiang knew them well and picked them out without any mistakes. He understood Chu Xiang was definitely one or two levels higher than them, so he straightened his back quickly to avoid Chu Xiang making a fool of himself.
"A team of five people. You choose your captain. If a subordinate has a problem, the whole team will sit together." Chu Xiang continued. To deal with these guys, we must severely punish them and make them become grasshoppers in a line, so that they can restrain each other so that they don't mess around.
The twenty-four people had already gotten to know each other after yesterday's noon meal. Seeing Chu Xiang's power, they didn't dare to cause trouble. They each quickly chose their own captains.
After allocating manpower, Tao Gongchi's ten people were ready, all wrapped in military coats. Everyone got in the car, and thirty-five people headed to the airport.
The four team captains were in the same car with Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang looked at the four of them and said, "You all know where Lop Nur is. I won't say anything more. I only want you to know one thing. The life of anyone in the scientific expedition team is at stake." It’s worth more than all of you combined.”
Chu Xiang's tone was calm, but the four captains were shocked. Only when you stand at a high place for a long time and look down at others can you have this kind of indifference that regards human life as nothing. This cannot be faked, and the four captains nodded one after another.
"Teams 1 and 2 are responsible for protecting the safety of the scientific research team, and teams 3 and 4 are responsible for taking care of the equipment. No one is allowed to run around without my order," Chu Xiang said.
"Understood." The four of them nodded.
It felt like Chu Xiang's every word was filled with murderous intent. Guo Yun'er was a little scared and didn't dare to look over.
"Old Tao." Chu Xiang turned to Tao Gongchi and said.
It felt like Chu Xiang was a different person today, with a feeling of life and death in his hands. Tao Gongchi was a little uneasy and looked at Chu Xiang.
"From now on, except for the scientific examination, everything else will be arranged by me." Chu Xiang said.
"Okay." Tao Gongchi nodded, not caring that Chu Xiang suddenly took away most of his power.
Chu Xiang asked Tao Gongchi to hand over the command with a simple word. He didn't know the details of Chu Xiang and thought that Chu Xiang was a senior personnel sent by the military government. The four captains were even more worried and a little afraid of Chu Xiang.
Everyone arrived at the airport quickly. The airport was full of soldiers standing guard. No one dared to be presumptuous. After getting off the bus, they lined up to enter the terminal.
It seems that there are many scientific expedition teams setting off today. There are many people in the terminal, each gathering together. The two old men Ke Rong and Hu Fuming from the archaeological team greet the people passing by from time to time. The clothes of these people are similar to those of the archaeological team. They were all pretty much the same, obviously acquaintances who were engaged in research.
The ten members of the archaeological team sat down on the chairs. The people from the escort team also wanted to sit down, but Chu Xiang refused to let them sit down. He said to everyone with a cold face: "Guard team, stand up, stand behind the chairs, line up for me, and take the Show off your momentum.”
Everyone stood up reluctantly. Who wanted to waste their energy standing if they could sit down? The four captains had no objection to Chu Xiang's words and did not dare to object. They immediately arranged for everyone to line up and stand in two rows in a fan-shaped scientific research team. Behind everyone.
Standing like this, the twenty-four members of the escort suddenly stood out in the waiting hall and were very eye-catching.
They didn't want to stand at first, but now they felt the gazes from around them, and the guards were eager to show off. Without Chu Xiang's scolding, they all straightened their backs and assumed a straddle posture like an army, with a majestic momentum.
The ten members of the archaeological team were frightened by the momentum behind them and became a little restless. The little girl Guo Yun'er was on pins and needles and stood up and wanted to run away.
Chu Xiang held Guo Yun'er's shoulders and said with a smile: "They are here to protect you. You have to get used to them being like this."
When Chu Xiang said this, everyone in the archaeological team reluctantly sat down, but they couldn't help but straighten their backs.
Probably because they have never enjoyed this kind of service or been taken seriously like this, the ten members of the archaeological team gradually raised their heads proudly and smiled. They changed from their previous embarrassing state and finally seemed to have the demeanor of a scholar.
After waiting for a while, no one from the military showed up. Chu Xiang asked, "Old Tao, where is the military leader?"
"Here we come." Tao Gongchi pointed to the entrance.
Six teams of soldiers were lined up at the entrance. Each team had thirteen people. They were all fully armed and loaded with ammunition, and some even carried swords on their backs.
A group of soldiers came straight towards the crowd. The leader was a tall lieutenant colonel. He had a tough face carved with axes and knives, and his hands were scarred. He was obviously a battle-experienced warrior. He had already seen the escort. They stood in line, looking a little surprised.
"Hello, Dean Tao, I am a senior high school student, and I am fully responsible for this scientific expedition." the lieutenant colonel saluted.
"Hello, hello." Tao Gongchi shook hands with Gao Jian.
Chu walked forward two steps and said, "I am Tang Long, the leader of the institute. I am responsible for the arrangements of the institute."
Gao Gaojian's eyes changed slightly and his aura increased sharply, staring at Chu Xiang like a tiger.
Of course, Chu Xiang couldn't show weakness. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not good, Tao Gongchi quickly said: "Sir Gao, please don't misunderstand. Tang Long is the team leader I invited. He is currently arranging all kinds of things."
Tao Gongchi is indeed not good at sociability. If he talks like this to smooth things over, a more thoughtful person will definitely bear him a grudge.
Fortunately, Gao Jianjian was a straightforward person and didn't have so many tricks. He nodded and regained his momentum, but Chu Xiang was a little unhappy.
"High school, I have a question for you?" Chu Xiang said in a slightly stiff tone.
"Please tell me." He frowned. Chu Xiang's tone made him a little unhappy. The momentum just now failed to suppress Chu Xiang. Gao Jian knew that the person in front of him should not be underestimated.
"Why not provide enough supplies for such a big operation?" Chu Xiang said.
Gao Gaojian frowned slightly and said loudly: "The higher-ups ordered us to manage enough supplies. Why do you say that?"
"For such an old man to work in the ice and snow, is this enough to manage supplies?" Chu Xiang pointed at the members of the archaeological team and asked.
Several members of the archaeological team were wearing old cotton-padded jackets, some of which had been mended. Such clothes could not withstand the severe cold in the ice and snow.
Next to him, Tao Gongchi was embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "Tang Long, I spent all the funds and didn't think of this."
Chu Xiang pointed to the distance seriously and said, "Stand over there."
Tao Gongchi was even more embarrassed, wringing his hands at a loss.
