Lu Yuan scoffed at their words. After all, in his eyes, the only type of "rich, beautiful, and successful woman" was someone like Long Yue! As for other women, they were simply not worthy of his attention. But Long Yue was just too restless! Her brain was practically fried, otherwise she wouldn't have done something so stupid.
The three of them chatted as they walked.
Upon arriving at the front, Zhou Zhi, the oldest exploration expert, examined the nearby rock layers at the designated location, then turned to Qiao Ke and Meng Qiang and said...
“The area we’re responsible for is over 5,000 square meters, and there are many places that need to be explored. How about this, I’ll take charge of the easternmost part, and the two of you can take charge of the two western corners?”
Meng Qiang and Qiao Ke had no objections and nodded in agreement.
So the three groups of members went their separate ways to three different places.
Lu Yuan and Qiao Ke were in charge of a corner in the southwest, where a small area of water had started to seep in, but the area was not very large, about thirty square meters.
As he put his backpack on the ground, Jock untied the safety rope while talking.
"You'll be down here responsible for my safety! Make sure you hold the rope tight, and do whatever I tell you to do! Understand?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "No problem! I'll protect your safety!"
Jock glanced at Lu Yuan, a warning glint in his eyes: "You're not responsible for my safety; you hold both our lives in your hands! Understand?"
Lu Yuan didn't take the warning seriously, but since the other party was an exploration expert, he could only obey their orders.
So the two began to reinforce their ropes. Lu Yuan secured his safety rope to the steel frame, while Qiao Ke took out something that looked like a nail gun from his backpack and then secured the end of a spear on the nail gun with a rope.
Then the other party aimed at a point above and pulled the trigger.
With a loud "bang," the spear, dragging its long rope, pierced the middle of the rock layer above. Jock reached out and tugged at the rope to make sure it was secure, then took out another rope and tied it to the other spear.
Then it's the same operation again.
Two spears secured the rope. After testing the rope and confirming it was in good condition, Jock tied the other end of the rope around Lu Yuan's waist to himself.
"You absolutely must pull him in! Otherwise, we'll both be dead!"
"Okay! Got it!"
Lu Yuan didn't waste any words, then grabbed the other end of the rope and watched as Qiao Ke slowly climbed up the rope.
Jock was incredibly agile and quickly climbed to the middle of the rock layer. He then secured the rope and turned to Lu Yuan, shouting, "Don't shake the rope now! I'm starting work!"
Lu Yuan nodded, then gripped the other end of the rope and stared intently at the other person.
Jock then took out a pickaxe hanging from his waist and gently carved a piece off the rock layer before putting it into his pouch.
Holding his flashlight, he shone it back and forth through the rock formations above, then said to Lu Yuan, "Pull the rope to the right!"
So Lu Yuan quickly adjusted the rope and began to move the other person to the right.
Upon arriving at the designated location, Jock gestured for a stop.
Then Jock took a flashlight and looked at a crack in the rock layer. Then he gently dug a piece of rock out of the crack with his pickaxe.
"Phew! That was really dangerous!"
Jock breathed a sigh of relief as he held the rock sample, but just as he was about to relax, Lu Yuan suddenly saw a white shadow through the crack in the light of the other man's flashlight.
"careful!"
Lu Yuan shouted loudly to remind the other party.
Jock looked down at Lu Yuan, somewhat displeased: "I told you! Don't shout! What are you trying to do?"
"There are termites in the crack!"
Lu Yuan ignored the other party's displeasure, pointed in the direction of the crack, and Qiao Ke was stunned. Then he turned his head and shone his flashlight into the crack.
Just then, a sound came from inside. Jock felt a chill run down his spine. He then took out a wire from his waist and poked it into the crack.
With a few "plop plop" sounds, Jock realized something was wrong.
So he quickly pulled the wire out.
The wire that had just been thrown in reacted as if it had been plunged into hydrochloric acid; the originally bright white wire turned grayish-green and was covered with some unknown liquid, making the entire wire look extremely eerie.
The wire I was holding seemed to melt in less than two seconds, and then it broke.
"Holy crap! What's going on?"
Jock was greatly alarmed.
At this moment, several ants, all white in color, emerged from the crack. Each ant was ten centimeters long.
"I brought back a termite!"
Lu Yuan stood below and shouted.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Qiao Ke instinctively reached out to grab him, but Lu Yuan quickly shouted, "Are you fucking stupid?! If you reach out to grab him, you'll lose your hand!"
Although Lu Yuan scolded him, Qiao Ke felt a sense of gratitude. If he had actually reached out to grab them, these enormous ants might have really bitten his arm off.
So Jock reached behind him and pulled out a pair of corrosion-resistant gloves, then reached out and grabbed the large ant that was crawling towards him.
