"We can't go on like this. The further we go in, the more dangerous it gets. We only have limited protective equipment. Even if everyone follows us into the mountains, it's impossible for everyone to reach Qibu Lake in the end!"

Gu Nanzhi could no longer bear watching so many lives being lost before his eyes. He said directly, "The exploration team will stay where they are and wait for us to go deeper into the mountains and make contact with the Tata tribe!"

Different from the indigenous people of Mount Ecuador, the Tata tribe hides deep in the mountains and rarely comes into contact with people from the outside world. Even people like Ahu who have lived in the rainforest for a long time are not very proficient in the language of the Tata tribe.

"no!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhenting said immediately: "The Tata tribe lives in seclusion, and we will definitely suffer if we go with fewer people!"

"We're not going to war!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi immediately turned his head and looked at him.

"Although we are not fighting, we are going to dig up their ancestral graves!"

Xie Zhenting said with a gloomy face: "You don't know how difficult it is to communicate with primitive tribes. You want to reason with them, but sometimes they just want to use force against you!"

"So are we just going to watch the soldiers die?"

Hearing this, Gu Nanzhi said angrily, "Dozens of people! It's difficult to travel in the rainforest, and there are invisible dangers everywhere. We have already sacrificed dozens of people. If we continue to walk, how many more people will be sacrificed?"

"Let them wait here, can't we go and clear the way for them first?"

"no!"

Hearing this, Xie Zhenting looked at her and said in a deep voice, "It's not us, it's me! I'm going to go, you stay here with them!"

Before setting out to Qibu Lake, he knew how dangerous this trip would be, so...

That's why he would want to stop his wife.

In the end, he couldn't stop it, so he had to accompany her here, but...

The rainforest was full of dangers, and it became more and more dangerous the deeper you went. Seeing the soldiers dying one after another, he was more anxious than anyone else. He didn't even dare to take his eyes off Gu Nanzhi, for fear that something might happen to her!

Now that she proposed to let someone stay here, Xie Zhenting naturally seized the opportunity and wanted her to stay!

The road ahead is dangerous, so he might as well go alone!

As long as he can keep her safe, he doesn't care about anything else!

"you go?"

Gu Nanzhi was stunned when he heard this, then he reacted and said helplessly: "What's the point of you going alone? Do you know Qibu Lake? Do you know materials science? Do you know what kind of stone I want at the bottom of Qibu Lake?"

Xie Zhenting heard: "..."

Remained silent.

Every profession has its own specialization, these...

He really doesn't understand!

"You don't understand, so I have to go!"

Gu Nanzhi looked at him and said with certainty: "You pick the people! Pick a few dozen people, bring the supplies, and we'll go into the mountains!"

After the voice fell, Gu Nanzhi turned and walked to the side.

"young married woman!"

Seeing this, Xie Zhenting couldn't help but call out: "I don't understand, but can't you teach me?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi paused in his steps and remained silent.

"You know what your safety means. Putting you in danger is equivalent to asking for the lives of all of us!"

Xie Zhenting looked at her back and said in a deep voice: "You can ask them, ask them if they are willing to stay even if they know there are dangers ahead! Ask them if they are willing to watch you take risks!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi couldn't help but turn his head and look around.

After the long journey, everyone was exhausted, but after hearing what Xie Zhenting said, everyone stood up and looked at Gu Nanzhi with determination.

"Sir, we are not afraid of danger, we don't want to stay!"

"Our mission is to protect the gentleman. Wherever the gentleman goes, we will go there!"

"Even if we die, we will stay with you till the end!"

“…”

Everyone was talking at the same time, and no one backed down because of the death of their comrade.

They fought hard to win this mission in the competition and snatched it from their comrades!

From the moment they received this task, they knew what their mission was!

Protect sir!

Protect Xiaguo’s hope for scientific development!

This is their only mission on this trip!

As for the rest…

Not even their lives matter!

"Xie Zhenting!"

Gu Nanzhi turned around and glared at Xie Zhenting, unable to suppress her anger and roared, "What are you doing? Do you want to kill them?"

"I don't want to!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhenting immediately said, "But I'm more afraid of hurting you!"

They can all have things done, but his wife can't!

The rainforest was full of dangers. By now, Xie Zhenting had never been to a place before. Even he didn't know what kind of accident would happen in the next second, so...

Xie Zhenting would never agree to leave the main force and act alone at this time!

unless……

It was he who left the main group!

It's him!

"I will protect myself!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi immediately said, "I am also responsible for them! Let them stay here, I will try to set up a communication signal here, once we are in danger, we can ask them for help first, and they can also rush to our aid in time, isn't that good?"

"Don't carry them any further! I don't want to see anyone else die!"

"As for the ore in Qibu Lake...Xie Zhenting, I can't teach you! You can't replace me either, so you'd better give up that idea as soon as possible!"

She is the one who wants to get the ore from Qibu Lake!

It’s Xia Country!

She is the leader of the exploration team. At the critical moment, anyone can retreat, but she can't!

So many people have already sacrificed their lives. She will continue on the road ahead, no matter how difficult it is. Because only in this way can she live up to the sacrifices of those people and take back the minerals that Xia Country needs, so that Xia Country will not be strangled by others when science develops to the speed of light...

Xie Zhenting looked at Gu Nanzhi, who had an angry face, and remained silent.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Pick someone!"

Seeing this, Gu Nanzhi said in a deep voice: "Xie Zhenting, this is an order!"

Hearing this, Xie Zhenting gritted his teeth and shouted, "Gu Nanzhi!"

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh...

"gentlemen!"

"No sir!"

“…”

Leave the main force behind and let the gentleman take a small number of people to take risks!

They are safe, but what about the gentleman?

Who will ensure your safety, sir?

The dozens of people she took away?

Dozens of people have already sacrificed their lives along the way. If they continue on, how can dozens of people guarantee Mr.'s safety?

"I said this is an order!"

Gu Nanzhi looked around fiercely and said in a deep voice: "I am the only leader of this trip. What I say is a military order! Do you want to disobey the military order?"

As soon as these words came out.

Xie Zhenting: “…”

A troubled silence.

Everyone: “…”

They looked at each other, confused.

After a moment.

Gu Nanzhi walked aside angrily, and Cai Qing and Miao Yue followed her without blinking.

Xie Zhenting was surrounded by people.

"I'll go! Thank you, Chief, for taking me there!"

"And me! I'm the best fighter in our military district!"

"I grew up in the mountains and I'm good at climbing!"

"I'm a good swimmer. Aren't we going to Qibu Lake? There's water in Qibu Lake..."

“…”
