Chapter 361 1. Acceptance of review and new journey

Nanze Ancient City Ruins and Gubo Camp.

Dark clouds shrouded the sky over the rainforest, condensing into fine raindrops, which fell into the camp and hit the rain-shielding steel plate outside the dormitory balcony. The sound lasted all night.

The dehumidifier in the room was overwhelmed, and the water in the water tank had long overflowed, and it would flow all over the floor if you weren't careful.

"Master Yun, I can't survive this day."

Ji Dao sighed repeatedly and walked back into the house from the balcony. He just took a breath and looked at the cultural relics that Gu Bo had just brought back to the camp with his off-road vehicle. The short sleeves on his upper body were almost soaked.

The swampy rainforest is really not for humans.

The humidity is so high that you feel dizzy. You have to take a breath of oxygen occasionally in the room, otherwise you will feel like you are suffocating.

"Just be quiet."

Zheng Yun sat at the desk without looking back.

It had been seven days since they came out of Ancient City No. 3, and they were placed together by Gubo's "Justice to Kill Relatives" and had to go through a fourteen-day "observation and physical examination period."

You are not allowed to leave the room during this period.

The people delivering the food all wore chemical protective suits.

This doesn't matter, since so many people are quarantined together, and the Royal Expedition Team didn't run away.

The expedition team was also isolated in the Gubo camp.

Zhao Qiufu's hat is too big. Public opinion is gaining momentum, and the Royal Museum cannot hold it back. Considering the international influence and interests, it can only admit defeat.

And this time they were in trouble.

Zhao Qiufu was playing a series of tricks that his ancestors followed, one after another. He led a large number of organizations to set up a review committee, with members from all over the East Route to the West Route.

There are even landlocked countries.

Most of the landlocked countries on the endless sea route are small countries that have not grabbed coastal territory in their ancestors. They don't even have access to the sea. Going to sea to explore actually has nothing to do with them.

But that doesn't mean they're not qualified.

Regardless of poverty, backwardness or chaos, they are all qualified to become members of the review committee and jointly pay attention to the event of "discovery of extraterrestrial civilization in Eastern ruins".

Zhao Qiufu's second conspiracy was to use the review committee to force the British Royal Museum to order that the Royal Archaeological Team submit all exploration results to the committee for review.

There were also constant twists and turns during this period.

The Royal Museum is not a vegetarian. The two sides are fighting overtly and covertly. Although this level of competition has little to do with them, you can still watch the excitement.

However, Zhao Qiufu's attack meant that he was hurting the enemy by 1,000 and damaging himself by 800, because Zheng Yun actually couldn't escape.

He also had to be scrutinized.

Turn in all exploration results.

Zheng Yun originally had a headache.

Because Zhao Qiufu probably didn't expect that Zheng Yun would be the final winner with the biggest harvest in this exploration, so he used this strategy to restrict the royal expedition.

From Zhao Qiufu's perspective, the Royal Expedition Team had been exploring Ancient City No. 3 for a long time. They were large in number, strong in strength and experienced, and they must have scooped up all the ruins and cultural relics.

Zheng Yun only has a few people.

I only got accurate information the night before, and I didn’t arrive at the scene until early that morning. I couldn’t even eat hot soup.

No matter how you think about it, the final winner cannot be Zheng Yun and the others, it must be the Royal Expedition that wins.

This is normal logic.

But our own people gained nothing, but Westerners gained a lot from the ruins of the ancient East? How could old foxes like Zhao Qiufu and Xu Yu accept such a result?
Don't even think about it.

It's impossible to let you go.

So Zhao Qiufu's starting point was to prevent the Royal Expedition from leaving smoothly, and they had to spit something out.

Not even a spit point.

But you have to spit it all out.

So this time they were really ruthless. They quickly released condemnation news directly in the name of the old blog to build momentum, igniting Western social media, and the matter completely caused a raging public opinion.

The British Royal Museum is full of misdeeds. Although the Ming Dynasty ruins are also "mysterious and evil" in the West, many people believe that the East must also inherit some responsibility for this matter.

But in the field of public opinion, the Royal Museum was at a disadvantage this time and was besieged and condemned by netizens from different countries.

It would be fine if they were just netizens.

But this time Gubo is also continuing to work hard.

After seven days of confrontation between the two sides, the level had risen to an unimaginable level, and the final result was revealed.

The Royal Expedition must have failed this time. It is impossible for them to escape unscathed. Handing over all the exploration results is a foregone conclusion. Don't even think about taking away a single bad copper coin from Nanze.

This time it was a complete defeat.

For the British Royal Museum, it is estimated that it has not suffered such a big loss for a long time, and the Royal Expedition Team has suffered even more. The past few months have been in vain, but in the end they have to hand over the exploration results and are condemned by public opinion...

Have to admit.

this is a good news.

During this time, Liu Ming, Song Wan and others were all happy about the victory of the old fox. The young members of the archaeological team also had admiration for Zhao Qiufu, Xu Yu and other old foxes.

'You have to be an old-timer who is resourceful. '

'Ginger is still spicier as it gets older, and the older it gets, the spicier it gets. '

'Learn, kid, there's still a lot to learn. '

'When you master it, you will be able to take the lead. '

Words like this have been ringing in Zheng Yun's ears from time to time in the past few days. With such seniors teaching by example in the archaeological team, it can be expected that the next generation of the archaeological team will be no different.

All the young foxes are taught by the old fox. There are already many young team members who order thirty-six strategies and other military strategies in their free time. Want to learn archeology? First, memorize all the military books.

If you don't learn strategies, what's the point of studying ancient times?

If you don’t understand the art of war, are you worthy of archeology?
If you don't know how to compete with the West, why are you on the archaeological team? Digging as a coolie? Might as well go home and raise pigs.

Archaeological cultural heritage is also archeology. Real archaeologists must also dig into the majestic mountain of ancient oriental culture. It is very reasonable to study the art of war.

But when Li Wu also held the Art of War.

Zheng Yun felt strong pressure.

He has been really restless these past few days. He even stayed up all night the past few days. He spent thirty-two hours a day thinking about memories and looking for any flaws in himself.

There was also a lot of communication with Kedester. The two communicated through text messages much more than a couple in love. They wished they could talk on the phone all day just to get through this review.

Zheng Yun could understand Zhao Qiufu and the others.

All actions are correct.

First, this exploration involves an 'alien civilization'. This is the best way to deal with it. Things of this level should be taken over by the Community of Destiny.

Stand on the side of carelessness.

This was done impeccably.

Although judging from the final results, there is actually no so-called alien civilization in the underground ruins of No. 3 Ancient City, only the demon ghost bell that once caused trouble.

Yao Gui Ling is not an alien civilization.

That thing has some intelligence, but its level of intelligence is not comparable to that of humans. It can only communicate with each other. It may be similar to the smartest gorillas, and it can blend into ancient society.

The reason why the Royal Expedition believes that the living things in the coffin are alien civilizations is also a strange dream on the ancient battlefield. The living things in the coffins once fought a decisive battle with hundreds of thousands of Ming Dynasty troops, so they can only be alien civilizations.

But it's not.

That was just Ming Dynasty clearing away the demons parasitized by Yaogui Ling. The scene was probably because there were many victims, or it might be because Yaogui Ling had weird abilities and had to be extremely cautious.

Gubo didn't know Yaogui Ling's ability, but because of the emergence of "alien civilization", he made the most correct treatment, and everyone must be isolated for medical examination.

Based on Zheng Yun's understanding of Zhao Qiufu and other old foxes, in addition to being absolutely fair in general, they were indeed plotting against the Royal Expedition and had some selfish motives.

But this selfishness is more understandable.

As a member of the Fuen Archaeological Team, as the shopkeeper of Jianghe Pawn Shop, and as the successor of Haiwei Supervisor Xiansi, Zheng Yun did not want Westerners to take cultural relics away from the Eastern ruins.

But the key is.

In this exploration of the ancient Nanze City ruins, the real winner was himself, not the Royal Expedition Team at all.

Deep in the ancient city of No. 2 and No. 3, all the valuable cultural relics were swallowed up by himself.

The Royal Expedition team fished for a long time with a spoon, but not only did they not drink the soup, they didn't even see the shadow of the soup. The knife called the Review Committee in Zhao Qiufu's hand can kill only one person, and that is the final winner.

But he never expected that the winner in the end would be one of his own, and the knife was already hanging on his own neck.

Zheng Yun has been really tired these days.

Perhaps because of his 'guilty conscience', Zheng Yun didn't know the level of the review committee and was very worried that they would find out the truth. He always felt that he might not be able to withstand the investigation.

Especially in the ancient city area No. 3 at the end.

There were extremely obvious flaws and loopholes in what happened to the Royal Expedition. In the end, thirty people suddenly fell into a mysterious coma, and when they woke up again, everything in the place was gone.

The Yin soldiers who walked out of the wooden coffin disappeared.

The black-haired sarcophagus on the high platform disappeared.

The ringing of demons and ghosts in the tomb stopped.

All kinds of strange phenomena disappeared.

Even the video equipment and communication live broadcast equipment they carried had no idea where they went. It seemed like they were thrown into outer space and disappeared completely.

That really disappears.

Even if I dig deep into the ancient city of Nanze, I can't find it.

All this clearly illustrates one thing: there is a second force in the tomb besides the Royal Expedition Team, and it is this force that took care of the situation that was about to get out of control in the tomb.

Who is this force?

Can the review board find out?

After communicating with Kedester, Zheng Yun discovered that there are generally two views in the Royal Expedition's own perspective.

One is that the ancients left ghostly methods in the tomb chambers, that is, those rotten wooden coffins, in which the soldiers of the Tiger Marsh Camp came back to life and suppressed the sarcophagi opened by the West again.

This is a logical guess.

In the West, opening a sarcophagus is an act of vandalism.

The surrounding wooden coffins and the corpses of generals were originally the soldiers who suppressed the sarcophagus. No matter how many years passed, they would seal the sarcophagus again after it was opened.

Because that is their last wish.

It is also their mission to rest in the underground palace.

The second is for the Jianxian Division to take action. The ancient Jianxian Division is likely to still exist in the world, and only they can discover the opening of the sarcophagus and parachute the Jianxian Guards to deal with the out-of-control situation.

This is also a reasonable guess.

Although the Supervisory Immortal Division has disappeared for a long time, the name Supervisory Immortal has been widely circulated and has never been extinguished. From a literal analysis, since there is the name Supervisory Immortal, it also has the ability to supervise the Immortal.

Even immortals can monitor it.

It is also reasonable to find that the sarcophagus was opened.

The speculation that the Supervisory Immortal Division is suspected of possessing the 'Misty Sea' has become a consensus today, twenty years after it was raised by Capdest.

Therefore, Jianxiansi has the ability to reach the tomb chamber across the starry sky, take away the sarcophagus, and then leave across the starry sky.

In addition, there is a powerful witness to this speculation, that is, the Western expedition team in Ancient City No. 2. Their experience is highly similar to that of the Royal Expedition Team.

But they saw the 'Jianxian Si' with their own eyes.

I even saw Jian Xian Si fighting with the enemy.

They watched helplessly as hundreds of people from the Supervisory Immortal Division broke through the wall. The leader was wearing the official uniform of the Supervisory Immortal Division, and to the left and right stood the ancient gods and ghosts wearing the official uniform of the Demon Supervising Division.

Every ancient person in official uniform is haunted by visions of gods and ghosts. Hundreds of ghosts lead the way and the demons follow them. Their majestic power is terrifying, and their random actions can be earth-shattering.

Moreover, Jianxiansi did not take action against them, and even casually helped them kill a few vampires in Qili's dream and escorted them safely out of the depths of the underground palace.

They also sighed at that time.

The Immortal Supervisor is worthy of being the Immortal Supervisor. The foundation of the establishment has never changed. Even Westerners are willing to protect them.

Although when I looked through the exploration recorder afterwards, I could only see the sky full of mud and sand rolled into the underground palace, but I could also vaguely see some figures, which meant that they were real.

There were literally hundreds of people.

Appeared out of thin air in the underground palace.

Later, when they entered the tomb below the underground palace, they also found some very strange traces. The tentacles guarding the sarcophagus had been slaughtered by some means, leaving only weak residues.

They found the remains of some kind of creature in the water. Later, after comparison, they discovered that the fleshy spots that looked like sand were actually from tentacles that were more than ten meters long.

What method is this?
Through modern technology, it can be determined that the tentacles died just a few hours ago. Several behemoths were dismantled into flesh and sand invisible to the naked eye by some means.

This is too scary. What kind of weapon can achieve such a terrifying effect? That's meat measured in tons, but it's all gone?

Speculations are mixed.

The final conclusion is that Jianxiansi probably really came here, and they took away the sarcophagus and the cultural relics in the site.

have to say.

This time they really got it right.

The fact is indeed the case. It was the contemporary Supervisor who took away the sarcophagus, and even the details were as they guessed.

There is only one final suspense left.

Can they connect the names of Jian Xian Si and Zheng Yun, and can they further guess the exact person.

Kedester thinks not.

They don't have any clues.

Moreover, although Ancient City No. 2 has the same structure, no sarcophagus has been found, so it cannot be linked to Ancient City No. 3.

Everybody knows.

It might be Jian Xiansi who took action.

But no one can find out the real clues about Jianxiansi. Jianxiansi is still as mysterious as historical records, coming and going without a trace, leaving no clues.

No one can point the finger at Zheng Yun.

However, Zhao Qiufu and Xu Yu, Hu Ruihua, Song Wan, Huzi Xiaohu, Li Wu and many young team members of the Gubo archaeological team must be excluded. The total number of people is close to a hundred.

It's possible they could guess the truth.

And the likelihood is sorted from high to low.

Among them, Zhao Qiufu and Xu Yu, who ranked highest, may have completely learned the truth at this moment...

Then Zheng Yun found out.

The focus of the committee's review was not on them, because Zheng Yun and others did not enter the underground palace of the ancient city at all.

This is obviously someone interfering with the review.

Although there is indeed no evidence to prove that Zheng Yun entered the No. 3 Ancient City District, this is actually a lie.

The "selfishness" of Zhao Qiufu and Xu Yu was finally revealed. They may have carried out operations to help Zheng Yun avoid the maximum investigation and only need to be isolated for a few days.

This is also within the regulations.

Because there is no extraterrestrial civilization in the ruins of Nanze Ancient City, the review committee established by Bo is actually of no practical significance and fundamentally misses the most critical core.

This was not Zhao Qiufu's original intention.

But it is indeed the case.

There are only the Ming Dynasty's magic tools in the ruins of the ancient city. According to past practice, the magic tools and magic items should be taken away safely by their owners.

This is a return to the original owner.

rather than illegal operations.

Therefore, Zheng Yun believes that he is not actually destroying the community of a shared future for mankind, but is maintaining it.

He really had a lot of respect for the word, but there was really no need for this exploration to rise to this level of intimidation.

So a few more days.

They can go out.

Then you can start a new journey.
