C617 Both of us are each other's goal
The first treasure trove was excavated two years ago, but no one found any secrets hidden in the floor tiles of Princess Young-mei's tomb. It wasn't that the archaeologists were careless. Rather, who would have the time to take pictures of every tile and upload them to the computer, then spend a lot of time arranging and assembling them, and then come to a conclusion?
However, Xia Lei was an exception. He didn't need to take photos nor store them in his computer, he only needed to use his eyes and grow bigger to complete tasks that others would need to do using their cameras and computers. Moreover, his speed was even faster. In fact, even if an archaeologist took a picture of the floor tiles in the tomb chamber and uploaded it to his computer and arranged them in groups of nine hundred and ninety-nine floor tiles, an almost infinite number of them, who in the world would be able to do this?
It was impossible!
In other words, Xia Lei was the only person who could do that in this world!
The clues hidden within the floor tiles were basically all prepared for him!
After obtaining the result, although Xia Lei tried his best not to laugh, the corner of his mouth still revealed a distinct smile.
"Brother Lei, what were you doing just now?" Fan Xian probed, "Did you discover something?"
Xia Lei shook his head, "No, I seemed to have thought of something just now, but after thinking about it carefully, my inspiration disappeared."
Fan Fan frowned. "Really?"
Xia Lei laughed, "This place has been studied by the archaeologists many times, they have not found anything in the past two years, I have only been here for a short while, what can I find?"
"That's right. If there were any clues, those archaeologists would have already found them." In truth, Fan Fan didn't suspect anything, she only felt that Xia Lei's reaction just now was too strange.
"Let's go. Let's go somewhere else to take a look." Xia Lei walked towards the exit of the tomb.
"Wait for me." Fan Fan followed Xia Lei's footsteps and left the Princess Young-mei's tomb.
Actually, Xia Lei could already leave after finding the clue hidden in the floor tiles, but he did not intend to do that. He had to go somewhere else. It was for no other reason but to give Fan Fan and Fan Yiming the false impression that he had nothing to gain from this trip.
Why did he hide the clues hidden within the floor tiles?
Because it's related to AE.
In the following time, Xia Lei, under Fan's lead, strolled through the other regions in the ancient tomb, which were the burial areas on the left and right. Although he already knew that this tomb was very big before he came here, he still felt very surprised after visiting it because it was truly too big. It was simply like an underground palace.
Just as Fan Fan had said, this tomb was right next to the united reservoir, and it was also located underneath it. There were many places that they didn't dare to dig. Some places were already leaking, if it weren't for the ancient tomb's drainage system, this place would have been flooded long ago.
It had already been two hours since they last visited the ancient tomb. Xia Lei and Fan Xian left the tomb and returned to the surface.
The sunlight was dazzling.
The feeling of returning to the surface from the underground tomb was very strange, as if he had returned to the mortal world from hell.
In front of a tent next to the tomb, several archaeologists were using tools to clean up objects dug out of the tomb. When Xia Lei and Fan Fan Fan came out from the ancient tomb, they stopped what they were doing and looked at Xia Lei and Fan Fan Fan with a peculiar expression in their eyes.
"Isn't that the granddaughter of Dean Fan Yiming of the Academy of Sciences?" Why is she here again? "
"I heard it's an expert from the bioengineering, I'm confused. Why would a bioengineering come here when she has nothing better to do?"
"Yes, there's still Fan Yiming, he's come here at least twenty times, right? A material scientist, what is he doing here? "
Although the voices of the archaeologists were quiet, this place was very quiet. Xia Lei's hearing ability was very sharp, so he was able to hear everything.
Xia Lei's heart was moved, "Fan Fan told me that she and her grandfather had come here three times before, but the archaeologists here said that Fan Yiming and her had come here no less than twenty times. Why did she say less? What is she trying to hide? "
The discussion of a few archaeologists aroused Xia Lei's suspicions.
He originally felt somewhat apologetic in his heart. After all, he had discovered the clues hidden in the floor tiles, but he didn't tell Fan Fan Fan. Now, having unintentionally heard Fan Yiming and Fan Fan come here no less than twenty times, and yet telling him that he had only come three times, he no longer felt any guilt in his heart.
"Brother Lei, let's go." As if fearing that the archaeologists might reveal something, she urged Xia Lei to leave.
However, Xia Lei was not in a hurry to leave. He pretended to look at the hill where the ancient tomb was, and continued to listen to the discussion of the archaeologists.
"Who is that young man?" could it be that Fan Yiming's granddaughter's lover? "
"Maybe it is. Young people these days love to play with excitement. Being in the ancient tomb for a relationship must be very exciting."
"Let's not talk about this nonsense. Let's discuss how we're going to drain the water from the united reservoir. It has been more than two years, and we have explored all the places, leaving only those that have not been explored. We must drain the reservoir and then develop those that have not been developed. Maybe we can find the Forever's Treasure. I'm sure that if it really is here, we can find it. It will become another miracle in the archaeological world! "
"That's right, the orders from the higher-ups have been passed down. They said that by the end of this year, they will be completing all the speechless development. We have to discuss what to do now."
"Beneath the Uniting Reservoir is the Yongle Shop. It's just a town, but the problem of drainage is already difficult. Do you want to blow up the dike and wash away the Yongle Shop?"
"You don't need us to worry about that, right? At most, the whole thing will just be relocated. "
"The relocation of the entire group? "Heh, that's a possibility. Why don't we hurry to the town and buy some houses, then move out."
Over here, Fan Fan Fan simply grabbed Xia Lei's arm, "Brother Lei, let's go, let's go. It's already past noon, we haven't even eaten lunch, let's go to the Yongle Restaurant to eat, I'm really hungry."
She still didn't want Xia Lei to hear what the archaeologists were talking about, so she was indeed worried about something.
Xia Lei knew this in his heart, but he did not expose it. He did not want to continue listening to the discussions of the other archaeologists. He nodded his head, smiled and said, "Alright, I'll treat you. What do you want to eat?"
"Let's have lunch. We can eat anything we want." Fan Fan said.
Xia Lei followed Fan Fan Fan and left along the road they came from, and as they walked, his heart was also thinking, "So it turns out that the higher ups were already prepared to completely excavate this place, but I didn't know that. As the higher-ups decided to dig this tomb thoroughly, they also asked me to join the Academy of Sciences and have Fan Yiming and Fan Fan study me ? It looks like some of the people up there can't wait, and they might have guessed something. "
Whether it was completely excavating this ancient tomb or getting him to join the Academy of Sciences and have Fan Yiming and Fan Xian research him, it was all related to the X-Secret Gold Project. If this tomb had not been the first place to hide the treasure, the people on top would not have worked so hard to excavate it, and they would not have transferred him, a gun-making machinery dealer, to the Academy of Sciences to be a Fellow.
All signs indicate that this is a sign of a crisis.
Xia Lei had also realized that this was also the turning point of his life. After he was done with it, he would be able to lead a new life. On the other hand, if he couldn't handle it well and couldn't pass it, he would lose everything he had now.
Unknowingly, they had reached the muddy road again. Fan, who was walking in front, stopped, dejectedly looking at the muddy road. "If I had known earlier, I would have changed into a pair of sneakers."
Xia Lei stopped his thoughts, and laughed: "Fan Fan, just like before, let me carry you there. Or I can carry you there. "
Xia Lei had not even touched Fan Fan Fan, but Fan Fan had already subconsciously dodged. Her face was also red as she said nervously, "Still ? No need for that, I'll ? I'll take off my shoes and go over there. "
She did. She took off her high heels and her suspenders, then stepped barefoot into the mud of the road.
"Isn't that enough? Actually, it's quite comfortable walking like this. " Fan Fan looked back and smiled, seemingly quite pleased with himself.
Xia Lei also smiled at her before slowly walking behind her. His gaze stopped at Fan Xian's full, sexy, perky butt. He thought to himself, "After all, he's a woman with high IQ. This Fan is much harder to deal with than I imagined." However, if I want to pass, I'll have to start from her. Only by taking her would he have the chance to get past her and get away with it. Only then would he have the chance to make Fan Yiming avoid shooting at him. Alright, I am your target, and you are also my target.
Women in love become stupid, and the natural maternal nature of women makes them instinctively protect the people they love at certain times.
If Xia Lei wanted to pass this crisis, he had to pass. Facing a woman with a high IQ like Fan Fan, the only thing he could think of was to be a beauty.
This was not because he wanted to obtain the mortal body, nor was it because he wanted to obtain the mortal love, but rather, it was to deal with the impending crisis before him. In fact, after getting divorced with Shentu Tianyin, he already wouldn't easily give his true love to a certain woman. He loved Liang Siyao a lot, but Liang Siyao betrayed him. He loved Shentu Tianyin, but Shentu Tianyin had also betrayed him. When he had given her all to help her, she had ultimately chosen Wanxiang Group instead of him. The two women he loved both ended up giving him heart-wrenching pain. After experiencing this pain, he had matured and changed ? why was it that only women could deceive him, and he could not deceive women?
"Aiya ?" Fan Fan cried out in alarm. His body swayed, and he almost fell into the mud.
Xia Lei hurriedly reached out to support her, and said gently: "Be careful, your butt is very sexy, but if you fell and bloomed, you wouldn't be beautiful."
Fan Xian's face immediately turned red, "You ?" Don't talk like that. "
Xia Lei released her and laughed: "You are very beautiful to begin with, could it be that what I said was wrong?"
Fan Fan Fan lightly bit his lips, but he did not dare meet Xia Lei's eyes. She had her head lowered as she walked. As she stood with her back facing Xia Lei, the corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile.
