sabotage expert

At this time, the group of people on the platform also regained their composure and stepped off the platform one after another.

The two groups gathered in the huge giant lizard, but both sides seemed to have some scruples, so they didn't say hello first.

There were a total of eight people on the other side, seven men and one woman, three men were armed, and the remaining five were unarmed. Two men and one woman were young people, a middle-aged man, and an old man over sixty years old.

These five people looked quite bookish, they looked like experts and scholars, each of them looked nervously and curiously at Ning Xiaofan and the other three.As for the young woman, it was none other than Ning Xiaofan's beautiful neighbor Li Wanting.

Li Wanting was wearing a thermal jacket, but there were a lot of tatters on the surface of the jacket, giving people a very embarrassed feeling.She was also looking at the three of Ning Xiaofan quite curiously at the moment, but Ning Xiaofan's face was dark, and she hadn't recognized it yet.

At this time, the other three men with automatic rifles looked vigilant, and the automatic rifles in their hands were raised a little intentionally or unintentionally.

Ning Xiaofan originally wanted to say hello to Li Wanting, but seeing the unfriendly behavior of the three men with guns, he temporarily dismissed the idea.And Fatty and Hou San also looked cautiously, raised the guns in their hands slightly, and their guns were not pointed at the other two, but only pointed at the leader of the other party.

Both sides vaguely pointed their guns at each other, and the atmosphere became tense, but Ning Xiaofan already knew the identity of the other party, so he acted more relaxed.

"Are you a prospecting team?" The middle-aged man with a somewhat scholarly air asked nervously.

Ning Xiaofan was about to respond, but the fat man standing aside replied first: "Yes, we are the advance team of prospecting, and you are..."

"We are a joint investigation team." The middle-aged man replied quickly.

"A joint investigation team? Are you from Jiangnan University? A joint investigation team sponsored by New Australia?" This time it was Ning Xiaofan who spoke.

"Hey, how do you know we are from Jiangnan University?" The middle-aged man asked with surprise.

Ning Xiaofan glanced at Li Wanting intentionally or unintentionally, and smiled slightly: "We belong to the prospecting team of Xin'ao."

"Are you from Xin'ao?" The middle-aged man was startled for a moment, then said with surprise: "That's good, we are a family, a family..."

"You said you are from Xin'ao, what identification do you have?" The man called the boss on the other side asked suddenly, still maintaining a vigilant look.

Ning Xiaofan immediately took out his ID card, walked over, and handed the ID card to the man with the gun.

There was a photo on the ID card and the name and occupation of the cardholder. The man with the gun took a look and recognized the Xin'ao logo on it. Then his expression relaxed slightly, and he said apologetically, "So it's Assistant Ning, I'm sorry, we suffered a bit not long ago, so we asked you to confirm your identity."

Ning Xiaofan said disapprovingly: "When you go out, you should be more careful."

"It's good if you understand. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Yang Hai, the security personnel of Xinao Overseas Branch, responsible for the security of the joint expedition team. By the way, I haven't thanked you for helping us just now, thank you."

Ning Xiaofan smiled slightly: "It's a trivial matter, you said earlier that you suffered a little loss not long ago, what happened?"

The man with the gun darkened slightly, sighed and said, "When we were camping last night, we were attacked by a team and killed a few people. Fortunately, that team recognized that we were not a prospecting team, so no one chased us down. Otherwise, more people would die."

Does this start to eliminate dissidents?How many people died?Ning Xiaofan felt a chill in his heart, and said, "Then do you recognize each other's identity?"

The man with the gun said bitterly: "At that time, the distance was relatively far away. I only knew that the other party was a prospecting team, and there were several foreign members among them. They should be foreign prospecting teams."

"Foreign team? Didn't you say that mines will be released in batches? Why is it ahead of time?"

"I don't know about that. I heard that there were several advance teams yesterday morning. We arrived at Base No. 2 at noon yesterday. We were supposed to rest for a few days before entering the Tiankeng. Later, we were notified temporarily that there were geological changes inside the Tiankeng. , it is necessary to get out of the mine in advance, we went down into the tiankeng around 3 p.m., and there are more than ten teams with me, but each team took a different route.”

After listening to Yang Hai's remarks, Ning Xiaofan suddenly realized that it had only been a day and a night since he entered the tiankeng. There are so many things that it feels like several days have passed.

And the team that started later could meet up with his own team. Obviously, either he took the wrong route, or there was another route that was closer to here.

In his mind, Ning Xiaofan asked again: "Is that so, where are you going?"

"Just like you, you have to go to the grotto first, and then decide on the route of investigation." The man with the gun said, hesitating for a moment and said: "Since you are the prospecting team of Xin'ao, you can be regarded as self-identified, I don't know if you can Hurrying together? As you know, we only have three armed guards left now, and we are a little weak to protect these experts."

Ning Xiaofan pondered for a while and said, "It's not impossible to drive together, but you need to obey the arrangements."

"This..." Yang Hai glanced at the middle-aged man standing not far away, and said with embarrassment: "I have no problem with my two subordinates, but I am not the leader of our team, you have to communicate with our team leader .”

"Then let your team leader communicate with me."

"please hold on."

After Yang Hai finished speaking, he walked towards the middle-aged man, and after talking with the middle-aged man in a low voice, he walked over with the middle-aged man again.

"Hello, my surname is Wang, Wang Zhipeng, manager of the development department of Xin'ao headquarters." The middle-aged man who called himself Wang Zhipeng stretched out his hand to Ning Xiaofan, but his expression was slightly reserved.

"Ning Xiaofan, assistant manager of the development department of Xin'ao Jiangnan Branch, leader of the advance prospecting team." Ning Xiaofan reached out to shake his hand.

Wang Zhipeng smiled reservedly: "Hello, Xiao Ning, right? I just heard Yang Baoan say that we can go to the grotto with you?"

"That's what happened."

"That's good, that's good. In this way, let me make arrangements first. It's almost noon now. Let's find a place to rest first."

Ning Xiaofan was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Wait, didn't Baoan Yang tell you? If you are traveling with us, you have to obey our arrangement."

"Obey your arrangement?" Wang Zhipeng frowned slightly: "I said Xiao Ning, isn't it a bit difficult for you to say that? You have to know that according to our identities in the company, I should be your boss. Speaking of which, You should still obey my arrangement."

This guy seemed to be unclear about the situation, Ning Xiaofan was unhappy, and said lightly: "Manager Wang, I admit that your position is higher than mine, but this is not a company, but a mining area. As the team leader, I will help you Your team is responsible for the safety, if you don’t obey the arrangement, then go your own way.”

"How can you be like this?" Wang Zhipeng said with a sullen expression on his face, "You are just the leader of a small team. Why do you want us to obey your arrangements? If you continue to do this, I will go back and report to the top according to your current performance." Reflect, when the time comes, if you lose your job, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."

"It's up to you. Since you don't want to obey the arrangement, let's go our separate ways."

In Ning Xiaofan's heart, he was only concerned about Teacher Li's safety, and he was too lazy to talk to the guy in front of him, so he turned his eyes to look at Li Wanting.

At this moment, Li Wanting was standing next to the corpse of the giant lizard. She didn't pay attention to this side. Instead, she and another sixty-year-old man kept looking at the corpse of the giant lizard. Two of the younger men were still there. That head-shaking commentary.

Ning Xiaofan bypassed Wang Zhipeng, went straight to Li Wanting and said, "Mr. Li, come with us."

Seeing that Ning Xiaofan suddenly walked up to her and asked her to go with him, Li Wanting was taken aback for a moment, and then there was a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Xiaofan, are you Xiaofan?"

At this time, she recognized Ning Xiaofan's voice, but Ning Xiaofan's face was too dirty, and she was a little afraid to confirm it.

Ning Xiaofan was also taken aback, she didn't recognize her feelings, and then realized that her face was a little dirty, and quickly wiped it on her face with her cuff, and grinned, "Isn't it me, Teacher Li, I didn't expect to meet you here."

It was good that Ning Xiaofan didn't wipe his face. With this wipe, his face looked like a cat, which was even more dirty. However, those black and white, slightly shy eyes made Li Wanting more sure, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's really you, kid. I heard that you went down to the sinkhole early yesterday morning, and asked if I could meet you..."

While the two were talking, the sixty-year-old man standing beside Li Wanting saw that the two were talking and laughing happily, and asked with doubts in his eyes: "Ms. Li, do you know each other?"

"Yes, I am still his landlord. Oh, by the way, let me introduce you. This is my neighbor, Ning Xiaofan..." Li Wanting said, and then introduced Ning Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, this is my neighbor. Our Professor Zhao from Jiangnan University..."

"Hello, Professor Zhao." Ning Xiaofan greeted politely.

"Oh, good." Professor Zhao seemed to be more interested in giant lizards, and after a perfunctory sentence, his attention turned to the corpse of the giant lizard.

Li Wanting smiled apologetically at Ning Xiaofan: "Professor Zhao is an expert in the field of biology. Seeing such a thing, he doesn't care about you. Don't be surprised."

"How can this be? This is professionalism, which is worthy of admiration." Ning Xiaofan smiled, and said: "Mr. Li, I heard that you are going to the grottoes first, and you happen to be on the same road with us. Why don't you come with my team?" alright."
