Chapter 268: Discovering a Strange Building
Chu Qiao stood up consciously and walked outside. The drone flew far away and displayed the entire building on the screen.
Wan Guo's eyes lit up and he became obsessed: "Come closer and let me take a look."
Chu Qiao knew she was referring to the bumpy wall and walked over immediately.
The walls here were roughly the same as the walls Chu Qiao had just seen inside the building, with densely packed small holes and many deep scratches.
Despite such severe damage, these walls can still remain standing for a long time. The ancients were often smarter than we think.
Wanguo put on his glasses and moved closer to the screen.
Shen Cong supported his teacher: "Teacher, is this building here recorded in the book?"
Wan Guo nodded, then shook his head. "Ancient books record that there was actually an ancient country in the uninhabited area of the Gobi Desert in the north. Although the conditions there were harsh, this country relied on its wisdom to dig wells, cultivate land, and establish a country. But whether it is the one we see today is still a question. We have to go there in person and compare it with the books to know for sure."
Chu Qiao walked into the building and approached the earthen coffin. "This contains the female corpse I saw during the live broadcast this morning. Judging from the condition of her clothes, she's also very old."
Wan Guo looked at the camera. Shen Cong had already shown him the female corpse, but the video was not official and was very blurry, so he couldn't see the characteristics of the female corpse at all.
At this time, the direct connection made Wan Guo see an even more shocking scene.
Shen Cong also stood up and said excitedly: "If we can go to Daoshishi, we can judge the age of the deceased from this body, and thus judge the history of this ancient country."
Chu Qiao was startled by the sudden rise in his voice. "Teacher Shen, calm down. The environment here is harsh. I suggest you be prepared before coming."
Wan Guo simply couldn't listen: "Chen Cong, you take the archaeological team there. If there are things that cannot be moved, don't move them first. You must ensure the integrity of the cultural relics."
After saying that, Wan Guo worriedly told Chu Qiao, "Little girl, thank you for discovering this ancient country. We have already located it and know its location. But there is one more thing we need to ask of you. Could you please not stay inside the building?"
Chu Qiao didn't say anything, but Chen Ao's expression was not right. Although the man in front of her was a giant in the archaeological world, Chu Qiao was someone she valued. Now, in order to find Ephedra sinica, he was willing to take risks, but they...
Chen Ao said coldly: "Teacher Wan, no matter what, this ancient country was found by Chu Qiao. If Chu Qiao goes out now, she will be dried up by the Gobi sun. I don't think it's a good idea. Besides, she is just sleeping in it and has not caused any damage."
Wan Guo didn't seem to expect Chen Ao to be so direct and tough.
His face suddenly darkened: "If there is any damage to the cultural relics, will you be responsible or will this little girl be responsible?"
The atmosphere on both sides was tense.
Shen Cong on the side quickly spoke up: "Everyone, please don't argue for now. I know Chu Qiao's current situation, but what the teacher said makes sense. Any damage may obscure the truth of a piece of history."
After Shen Cong finished speaking, he looked at Chu Qiao embarrassedly, his eyes full of apology.
It's different from the frivolous behavior before.
Chu Qiao said calmly, "It's okay. It's past two o'clock now. There's some shade at the base of the wall. I can just rest there for a while."
"No, you just had heatstroke yesterday and your kidneys are damaged."
"Sister Ao, I know my physical condition, don't worry."
Chu Qiao understands archaeologists and has more confidence in herself. The wilderness is full of variables, and she can withstand this hardship.
After Chu Qiao finished speaking, he immediately put on his backpack and moved to the shade outside.
But it is open-air after all. Unlike the coolness inside the loess buildings which are warm in winter and cool in summer, the temperature outside is surprisingly high even in the shade.
Amid Shen Cong's guilt and Chen Ao's anger, Chu Qiao closed the live broadcast room.
She lay on the ground, covered her face with her coat, and continued to sleep. The fatigue of the night made her sleep soundly even in the heat wave.
It was not until after 7 o'clock that she woke up again. Her clothes were soaked, and the grass by the wall was uprooted by the wind and blew in her face.
Chu Qiaobala pulled away the leaves, took out the beef jerky and the remaining Salix psoriasis, and ate them together.
After eating, he didn’t forget to take out the little scorpion he caught last night.
In the live broadcast room, everyone could clearly see the full appearance of the scorpion. The scorpion was not big, its body was translucent, and it looked a little cute.
Chu Qiao twisted his right hand, and the scorpion's abdomen and body split into two halves.
[Mr. Chu's dismemberment moves are so cool.]
【Master Chu is taking some tonic.】
[Master Chu, how is your health? ]
"It's not a big problem. This stuff is really nutritious. I'll bring some for you if you need it." Chu Qiao said half-jokingly.
As a result, no one appreciated it.
【No, I am not worthy of it. 】
[I can’t stand it. I can’t stand it.]
[Master Chu, keep it for yourself. I'm very strong.]
Chu Qiao smiled and put away the remaining small scorpions. Chu Qiao put on his backpack and continued on his journey.
It was gradually getting dark. This was her fourth night in the Gobi Desert.
There is still a quarter of the journey to go. If she walks fast, she can reach her destination tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Chu Qiao unconsciously quickened his pace.
…
A little closer, a little closer.
Chu Qiao looked at the small dot on the locator with a determined look on his face.
Chu Qiao felt that he had been walking for a long time, but it was not yet dawn.
The blue light shone on the watch, indicating that it was already 7 o'clock in the morning, but the surroundings were pitch black.
Chu Qiao immediately became alert.
[Master Chu, what’s wrong with you? ]
[Why isn't it dawn yet over there, Master Chu? ]
Is it going to rain?
[That's great. Master Chu doesn't have to worry about dehydration anymore.]
Chu Qiao shook his head. There was no warm or humid feeling in the air, no thunder or lightning, and it was not about to rain.
What is that?
Chu Qiao's heart was shocked.
Chu Qiao looked around, searching for shelter, and said, "The weather is bad today. I suspect there will be a sandstorm today."
"I was careless. Although the Gobi Desert is mostly rocky and sandy, I overlooked this and didn't take any precautions."
How can there be a sandstorm without sand?
[Yes, Master Chu is contradicting himself.]
【It's not a desert.】
[Master Chu, please don't scare me.]
Chu Qiao ignored the fatigue of the previous night and ran anxiously, panting, "The Gobi Desert doesn't have much sand, but it does have a lot of small stones. The atmosphere has many layers, and the speed of flow varies depending on the temperature. The ground is overheated now, and it can't support the air above. If it rushes up, it will rush to the ground from a height of more than ten kilometers, sweeping up the small stones in the Gobi Desert."
