Chapter 1249 Tangled
When Li Pitt was talking to Wei Kang, Zhang Zi'an gritted his teeth and looked at the map again. Judging from the scales on modern maps, the so-called Devil's Sea is not large. It was shaped like a depression or valley on ancient maps. If Li Pitt and the others went well, it would only take two days at most to enter and exit.
The scientific expedition team can use these two days to find traces of the original Egyptian cat on the periphery of the Sea of Devils.
Sounds good.
but……
This also means that the two branches will be separated temporarily.
To be honest, the scientific expedition team is not in harmony and has a worrying quality. Everything depends on Li Pitt's team, just like a child who needs nanny care. It is not that Li Pitt needs the scientific expedition team, but that the scientific expedition team needs Li Pitt.
Li Pitt's team went deep into the Sea of Devils. It would be fine if nothing happened. If something happened... the scientific expedition team could only leave the desert by itself.
After spending a few days together, he knew Li Pitt's team members. Except for always talking about mystic topics during rest, they were all blameless in other aspects. They were much more reliable than Wei Kang's four disciples, and only made him envious.
If the science and education team leaves the desert by themselves, it will probably be quite difficult.
Wei Kang has already agreed to Li Pitt's proposal. Nabari wants to say it again, but Li Pitt said first: "Mr. Nabari, if you are afraid of entering the Sea of Devils, it doesn't matter, you can stay outside with the scientific expedition team and wait for us to come out."
Nabarri was obviously angry and raised his voice and said, "I don't have the heart to watch you go to die! You don't know how terrible the Sea of Devils is!"
In Wei Kang and Li Pitt's view, Nabarri's vision is very narrow. In other words, he has never seen the world. No matter how terrible he describes the Sea of Devils, it is just a boast.
"Mr. Lee Pitt, what if you don't come out as planned?"
Zhang Zian suddenly raised a sharp question.
Lee Pitt asked easily, "Jeff, do you think we will be in danger in the sea of devils, such as... to encounter the devil?"
His team members chuckled.
"I mean, we have to consider this possibility." Zhang Zi'an was unmoved. "The materials are limited, and the scientific expedition team cannot wait outside for indefinitely, so there must be a time limit."
Li Pitt talked to his team members for a few words and stretched out three fingers, "Three days. You are waiting for us outside for three days. If we don't come out after 72 hours of entering the Sea of Devils, you can leave first."
Along the way, although Li Pitt's team members were also depressed, they never doubted or wavered about the goal of the trip. Even when they heard Nabarri describe the Sea of Devils as terrible, they laughed it off.
Nabarri tried his best to persuade him again, but both Wei Kang and Li Pitt had made up their minds. However, Wei Kang's disciples were worried. If possible, they would rather go home now and return to their usual life they had despised. They had already had enough of this unlucky desert.
Zhang Zi'an was most confused. On the one hand, he tended to stay outside with the scientific expedition team, which was safer. After all, a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall. On the other hand, he also considered following Li Pitt and the others into the sea of devils.
He glanced at Fina with a sneak peek at it, and saw it squinted its eyes, looking at the direction where the Sea of Devils was.
Even if he chooses to stay outside, it seems that Fina will go in, and he is definitely not at ease to let Fina take the risk by herself.
In addition, the problem of the cat god statue in the car has not been solved yet. If there is really a pyramid unknown to the world in the Sea of Devils, it is a good place to accommodate the cat god statue.
Helping Li Pitt and others is actually helping himself, because when leaving the desert, the scientific expedition team still relies on Li Pitt and others.
It is estimated from the map that there is about one and a half days left before the Devil's Sea, and Zhang Zian still has one and a half days to worry about.
Seeing that they had settled their minds, Nabarri sighed, gave up persuasion, and murmured to pray to God.
After lunch, at 3 pm, the intensity of the sunlight decreased and the convoy continued to set off.
The closer you are to your destination, the closer you are to the date of going home. Although the sun is still hot, most people are in a higher mood.
According to Li Pitt's request, Nabarri led the team to deviate from the ancient camel road and headed towards the depths of the unknown desert.
From now on, even Nabari is not sure what is ahead. He only walked this road with his father once decades ago, but the road in the desert, not to mention decades ago, may have undergone earth-shaking changes even dozens of days ago.
Time passes slowly, and in the torment of living like the year, the sun sets westward, and the sky turns from bright to dark, until evening.
He drove Nabari at the front and told Zhang Zi'an through the walkie-talkie that a tall sand dune appeared in front of him, and asked him to get out of the car and use a drone to observe the situation.
When the other team members heard the conversation, they stopped the car and stretched out to get out of the car and walked around. Two or three people gathered together to talk and laugh, and some were also talking about speculation about the Sea of Devils with interest.
It's getting late, so I guess you can camp after climbing over this dune. In addition, the heat has subsided, making everyone feel more comfortable, as if they were about to get off work on Friday evening.
Zhang Zi'an operated the drone to take off. He has done this many times and has become a routine. He has completed the task successfully every time. The team members have seen it more and lost their interest in watching.
Nehbert flew over the sand ridge and first took a 360-degree panoramic view, transmitting the image to the remote control screen in real time, so that you can roughly estimate which side of the terrain is lower. According to experience, the lower side often has a gentle slope.
The light in the evening is not very good. The places illuminated by the sun are still bright, but the places that cannot be illuminated are very dark, and the contrast between light and dark is very strong.
The sunset from the west has a strong impact on the line of sight. Zhang Zi'an fine-tuned the height and shooting angle of Nehbert to minimize the interference of the sunset.
When the 360-degree panorama was halfway through the shooting, something suddenly flashed on the remote control screen, but when Zhang Zian looked at it again, it stopped flashing.
"Strange, what?"
He reversed the rocker and manipulated Nehbet to turn back in the opposite direction.
Another flash.
There was no mistake this time, something flashed far away on the back of the sand ridge.
He asked Nehbert to hover in place, aimed the camera in that direction, adjusted the focal length, and enlarged the picture.
A blurry black dot appears in the picture. Because the light is too dark, even if the focal length has been pulled to the farthest, it is still impossible to see what it is.
