Chapter 177 Preparing to Go to the Tomb
"The only person in our base who has received the same medal is Captain Liang next to you."
Captain Liang looked over and nodded at Xu Ying, saying calmly, "Even if you want to take a special operations helicopter home, that's fine."
Thinking that many natural enemies of reptiles would come soon, Xu Ying told the reptiles to hide first, and then got on the armored vehicle with excitement and curiosity.
She climbed onto the metal steps, and Captain Liang supported her.
The moment I entered the hatch of the armored vehicle, I was hit by the mixed smell of engine oil and cold iron.
Xu Ying felt like he had entered the belly of a giant mechanical beast.
The cockpit was packed with densely packed instrument panels, the fluorescent screens emitted a cold light, and Xu Ying couldn't understand the symbols engraved on the buttons and knobs at all.
A young driver was sitting in the driver's seat. He was wearing a cool and neat tactical uniform. The dark red light in the cabin cut through his profile, outlining his sharp jawline and high nose bridge.
There was movement at the cabin door, and he looked over immediately. Seeing Xu Ying sticking her head out, he was slightly surprised. He reached out and pulled her, then stood up to protect Xu Ying's head.
"There are a lot of equipment, be careful not to bump into anything."
Xu Ying responded obediently: "Okay, thank you!"
Captain Liang said to the driver, "Let Stationmaster Xu use the loudspeaker."
"receive."
The loudspeaker microphone was hanging next to the driver, and the driver handed the microphone to Xu Ying.
Xu Ying turned on her mobile phone and played an audio clip of different birds singing.
After playing the video two or three times in a loop, Adjutant Yang's voice came from the intercom on the driver's chest.
"Stationmaster Xu, there are so many birds in the sky. Are they looking for you?"
"Yes! I'll be right there!"
Xu Ying rushed to the hatch of the armored vehicle and looked down. The metal pedal was more than half a person's height from the ground. It was easy to get up but difficult to get down!
She bit her lip, hesitating whether to jump down directly, when a deep voice suddenly came from the side -
"Slow down, be careful."
Captain Liang had stood beside her without her noticing, his arm extended towards her.
His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his well-defined forearms that shimmered in the sunlight.
Xu Ying hesitated for a moment, then gently placed her fingertips on his wrist.
The next second, the man turned his palm over and directly grabbed her hand. His strength was steady and powerful, and he pulled her down almost without giving her any room to refuse.
Xu Ying was almost half-carried down by him.
Captain Liang's arm was across her waist, like an iron hoop, instantly stopping her fall.
Xu Ying's nose just brushed against his epaulettes, and the cold, hard metal badge touched her cheek.
"Stand firm."
Xu Ying landed steadily on the ground. The moment his feet touched the sand, Captain Liang let go.
The tips of Xu Ying's ears turned slightly red, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Chen Su getting out of the police car opposite her.
"Adjutant Yang, people from the Cultural Relics Research Institute will be here shortly."
Chen Su was wearing a neatly tailored dark blue police uniform that perfectly outlined his tall silhouette with broad shoulders and narrow waist.
His collar was tied meticulously, and the silver collar flower was pinned neatly below his Adam's apple, flickering slightly as his Adam's apple rolled when he spoke.
He had just parked the car and got out with the briefcase when he saw Xu Ying getting out of the armored vehicle and was stunned for a moment.
His eyes moved between Xu Ying and Captain Liang, and finally fell on Xu Ying's face.
When their eyes met, Xu Ying felt a little flustered for some reason. She looked away and raised her head to the sky.
Captain Liang looked in Chen Su's direction as if he had sensed something. The two men's gazes collided in mid-air, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air silently.
Xu Ying waved to the birds circling in the sky.
The audio she just played was recorded by asking the birds to help her after she rescued them.
This audio can summon their kind for help.
The birds circling in the sky were all raptors. Because Xu Ying was afraid that the big birds would eat the small ones, he played the calls of birds of prey.
[Webmaster Xiao Xu asked us to come here. What's the matter?]
[Is there anything we can do to help?]
Through word of mouth from various birds in the desert that had been rescued or worked with Xu Ying, the reputation of Stationmaster Xu had spread throughout the bird world.
All the birds know that there is a kind-hearted animal rescuer in the desert. If they encounter any problems, they can fly to the 032 rescue station to ask her for help.
"Can you help me find five Bactrian camels forty kilometers southwest?"
Xu Ying shouted to them, "To show my gratitude, when you're short of food in the winter, you can spend the winter at my shelter."
[No problem, leave it to us!]
[No need! Just reserve a bed for us while we're in labor.]
Birds of prey fly fast and have excellent eyesight, making them excellent reconnaissance aircraft for finding people and objects.
[Once we find it, I'll come and show you the way!]
The birds of prey were originally competitors of each other, and at this time, each one was more unwilling to give in than the other, and they all flew towards the southwest.
Everyone was amazed when they saw birds of prey like peregrine falcons and eagles being commanded by Xu Ying.
What’s the difference between this and the King of Beasts!
About 20 minutes later, four police cars and two vans arrived at the scene.
Because there were too many prisoners, they had to send a van to transport them.
Xu Ying had previously written down the confessions of these tomb robbers and sent them to Chen Su, so the police already had a general understanding of the situation at the scene and had contacted the border port to begin checking the trucks transporting handicrafts.
In the four new police cars that arrived, people from the Xizhou Provincial Cultural Relics Research Institute got out one after another, carrying various equipment.
However, to Xu Ying's surprise, the door of the first police car opened, and Qi Xiao and an old man wearing black-framed glasses got out together.
Qi Xiao carried his alloy bow and arrow on his back, his sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing a section of skin tanned to a wheat-colored color by the scorching desert sun.
A few strands of black hair hang down in front of his forehead, and when the ends of the hair sweep across his eyebrows, it reminds people of the leader of the wolf pack, ready to pounce.
However, the Q-version fennec fox pendant hanging on his quiver formed a contrast with his cool temperament and was particularly eye-catching.
This is a furry peripheral designed by the sponsor for the rescue station. Last time at the rescue station, the little foxes forced the gift on their "dad".
Seeing Xu Ying, Qi Xiao nodded slightly to Xu Ying.
Xu Ying was full of curiosity. Why was Qi Xiao here?
This person's identity is too mysterious.
Chen Su glanced past Qi Xiao and directly introduced the old man who came down with Qi Xiao to Xu Ying, Adjutant Yang and others: "This is Professor Mo, an archaeological expert from our Xizhou Cultural Relics and Archaeology Institute."
Xu Ying pulled out the sealed bag containing the jade carving of a reclining deer looking back from his pocket. "Professor Mo, this is the jade carving I found near the robber's hole."
Professor Mo took the item and examined it carefully: "This, this is a jade carving from the Han Dynasty!"
Professor Mo was delighted. "The tomb the tomb robbers discovered is likely the tomb of a member of the royal family of the Jingjue Kingdom during the Han Dynasty!"
