Chapter 1511: Sudden Change
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Jingxin really wanted to know why this silk book hadn’t rotted for two thousand years. Did they use some special processing technique?
As for Ah Can, he was staring at the pile of treasures in a daze. He was probably thinking about how to spend so much money.
As for Lan Xingyue, her eyes flickered. No one knew what she was thinking.
“Alright, now is not the time to be sad. Hurry up and pack up. Let’s get out of here first.”
Ye Feng then instructed everyone to move these treasures.
This time, they had brought quite a few nylon bags with them. They could easily carry all these treasures away.
Just as everyone was busy putting in the treasures, Lan Xingyue quietly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Although Ye Feng seemed to be busy, he was actually paying attention to her movements.
He guessed that this woman might have gone to send a message to the outside.
Of course, he might have guessed wrong.
However, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out the military communication equipment Arthur had gotten from somewhere and gave his people the order to prepare for the rescue.
In the depths of the catacomb, ordinary mobile devices had no signal at all.
Lan Xingyue probably had similar equipment.
Now that the net had been set, they were just waiting for the birds to walk into it.
Lan Xingyue quickly returned.
“Where did you go just now?” Ye Feng asked as he packed up the treasures.
“I went to the toilet.” Lan Xingyue had obviously found an excuse long ago, and her expression was very natural.
“Oh, it’s not safe here. If you can hold it in, hold it in for a while. Don’t run around.”
“Yes, I know.”
Everyone had put all the treasures on the stage into their bags.
Then, they used the Flying Tiger Claw to transport everything from the platform.
Just this step alone wasted more than half an hour.
Then, under Ye Feng’s command, they split up their work and moved them out.
The girls moved some of the lighter items, while the six men moved the heavier items.
Lan Xingyue aimed at the bag containing the Yangzhou Cauldron and was about to walk over.
But she was stopped by Ye Feng. “You can carry this bag with me.”
As he spoke, he pointed at a large bag by his feet.
Lan Xingyue was stunned at first, but then she smiled bitterly. “I’m a girl. This bag is so heavy. You should find a man to carry it with you. I’ll take the small bag.”
“Although you’re a girl, you’re quite strong. It’s not like I haven’t seen it before. You’d better come over and carry a bag with me.”
Ye Feng continued to insist, he even used a tone that did not allow for any rebuttal.
Lan Xingyue stared at him for a moment, then finally compromised and walked over without saying a word.
Ye Feng looked at the unwilling Lan Xingyue, and a faint smile flashed across his face.
This woman was getting more and more impatient, and she was giving herself away more and more.
Such a time bomb had to be placed in front of him at all times to make him feel at ease.
The group then set off and returned along the original path.
Although they had already walked through it once when they came, they were still very careful when they returned.
It was not easy to get the treasure without any injuries. They should not get hurt when they return. That would be too unworthy.
Ye Feng and Lan Xingyue carried a large bag and walked at the back, he was constantly paying attention to her movements.
“If you don’t have the strength, tell me. We can take a break.”
“No need.”
“By the way, what major did you study in Japan?”
“Geological survey.”
“Not bad, you’re actually professional. With such a good academic background, there should be many mining companies fighting for you, right? Why did you come to Origin Mining?”
“Close to home.”
“I really couldn’t tell that you’re quite homesick.”
“Yes.”
The two of them chatted casually. It was obvious that Lan Xingyue was a little absent-minded. When she answered, she was a little perfunctory.
Ye Feng saw this but did not show it.
Everyone carefully moved forward. It took them about half an hour to return to the starting point when they entered.
“Hu…”
Everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Although there were a few accidents during this expedition, it was fortunate that everyone came out unscathed.
They all felt like they had survived a disaster.
Everyone rested for a moment, then carried their bags and stood on the stone slab that had sent them down.
Ah Can searched the surrounding stone walls for a while and finally found the activation mechanism.
The stone slab began to rise slowly again as if it were an elevator.
At this moment, it was still pitch black outside.
It had to be said that the speed of their exploration was very fast.
When the stone slab rose to the ground, everyone finally breathed fresh air again.
“Ah, it feels so good to be alive!”
Ah Can couldn’t help but sigh.
He had undoubtedly voiced everyone’s thoughts.
Underground, danger lurked everywhere, and one’s life could be in danger at any time.
Only when they returned to the surface did everyone feel a sense of security.
But what Ye Feng felt was not a sense of security, but a faint sense of danger.
And as they walked towards the car, the sense of danger became stronger and stronger.
When they were less than ten meters away from the parking spot, Ye Feng suddenly noticed that Lan Xingyue had secretly put a hand into her pocket.
This action was very unusual.
The bag they were carrying was filled with many heavy items, weighing about 200 pounds.
It was very difficult to lift it with both hands, but she was still able to lift it effortlessly with only one hand.
This detail revealed too many things.
“Wow, I didn’t expect you to be so strong.” Ye Feng pretended to be surprised and shouted.
Lan Xingyue’s expression changed slightly, and the hand hidden in her pocket suddenly stopped moving.
Ye Feng put down the bag and slowly approached her. “You were pretending to be weak just now, I didn’t expect you to be so secretive.”
“Haha, you didn’t expect this, did you?” Lan Xingyue slowly took a few steps back, a charming smile on her face.
“I saw that you are sweating a lot, so lemme help you wipe your sweat. Why are you hiding from me?” Ye Feng took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and continued to approach her with a smile.
“Men and women shouldn’t touch each other. Give me the tissue. I’ll wipe it myself.”
“How can that be? You’re here to help me today. It’s only right for me to help you wipe your sweat.”
The two of them, one retreating and the other advancing, had already walked a few meters away.
Ah Can and the others thought that the two of them were fooling around and did not take it seriously.
Xu Jingxin even felt that Ye Feng’s actions were too frivolous.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Ye Feng, who was originally smiling, suddenly sped up and charged towards Lan Xingyue.
One hand grabbed the hand in her pocket, while the other grabbed her throat.
He was already an expert at the peak of internal force, so how fast was his speed?
In addition, the two of them were very close. If it was an ordinary person, she would have been easily captured.
However, this time, he missed.
