Chapter 361 Meeting of Original Shareholders
Zhang Qiling is a soft-hearted person. In the past, when he went into tombs, he would even help those who were hostile to him.
Driven by a strong will to survive, he would reach out and lend a helping hand.
This is also part of what makes him uniquely charming; Cheng Feng will not try to change Zhang Qiling.
Similarly, she will not change herself because of Zhang Qiling.
"Mute Zhang, what do you think the boss meant by that? Why would it be more pitiful to die in the second-best tomb in the world?"
Faced with Hei Xiazi's question, Zhang Qiling simply shook his head silently.
However, he did not doubt Cheng Feng's words, because Cheng Feng had no reason to lie about such a matter.
Over the next few days, more and more people arrived in Mandula Town, and on the tenth day, the group set off at the agreed time.
Under the watchful eyes of the town's residents, a massive convoy of dozens of vehicles stretched like a long dragon into the depths of the grassland.
Wu Sansheng's team was leading the way. He and the Xie family had a lot of intelligence, and as the initiator of this operation, he naturally had to lead the way.
The convoy traveled more than 100 kilometers along the border.
The surrounding pasture grasses range from low to high enough to cover half an adult's body, and the original border line separating Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia disappears at a distance of more than 40 kilometers.
Although we can't see the macro perspective, it's certain that they have crossed the border.
That evening, the exploration team of over one hundred people set up camp on the spot.
The stars in the grassland night sky were exceptionally bright, echoing the bonfires below.
After a night, the group set off again.
The sound of the car rolling over the grass continued from morning until after four o'clock in the evening.
The group reached the last supply point of their journey.
"The road ahead is impassable for vehicles. Hopefully, there are enough horses at this herder's station."
Wu Sansheng's voice came through the walkie-talkie, which made some people feel a sense of urgency, and they got out of their cars to communicate with the residents at the station.
Cheng Feng and the rest of the Xieling team got out of the car at a leisurely pace. He trusted that his teammates were reasonable and wouldn't make them walk to their destination.
"Let's set up camp. This chaotic group won't be able to leave anytime soon."
It seems the locals are encountering such enthusiastic tourists for the first time, as they are all offering to pay extra to rent horses.
That night, Wu Sansheng's tent was very lively, with a constant stream of visitors.
When Hei Xiazi got up to urinate in the middle of the night, the light in Wu Sansheng's tent was still on.
The next morning, Cheng Feng and the three women, Chen Wenjin and Cheng Feng, sat in the tent waiting for breakfast.
However, before the food was even cooked, Wu Sansheng arrived instead.
After Cheng Feng agreed, he entered the spacious tent, his face still showing signs of sleep deprivation.
“Cheng Feng, more than half of the team hired their own guides and left the group early this morning to head to their destination on their own.”
Wu Sansheng slumped onto the cushion, his brows furrowed as he spoke.
"It's good. A team of over a hundred people is too bloated. Fewer people make it easier to manage."
No one was surprised by the news; the commotion when those people left naturally did not escape Cheng Feng and the others' notice.
"A large part of those people left because they were terrified by what you did that day."
Recalling the scene at that time, Wu Sansheng still feels lingering fear.
"It was an unintended consequence, isn't it good that someone is paving the way?"
Wu Sansheng nodded silently. Although it was a bit much to say that, the fact was that 99% of these people were pre-selected cannon fodder.
For example, those sent by the Chen and Huo families.
"I've rented your horses for you. I'll send someone to pick them up from my place in a bit. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be going now."
"it is good."
Cheng Feng nodded in agreement, and Wu Sansheng then got up and left the tent.
"Boss, how many of us more than a hundred people do you think will actually return from the Second Mausoleum Under Heaven?"
Huo Ling rested her chin on her hands and leaned on the low table as she spoke.
"Less than two hundred people, not even enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of the Second Great Mausoleum in the world. In the end, we might be the only ones who can go home!"
According to Wu Sansheng's count, there are 57 people left in the team.
It is worth mentioning that the remaining 67 people are exactly the four factions originally selected.
That is, the Wu and Jie families, Qiu Dekao, and Cheng Feng.
The Wu family and the Xie family, including Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan, each had sixteen members, while Cheng Feng's group had seventeen.
Jude Kao's team had the most people, with eighteen members.
Just before setting off, the original shareholders finally gathered together for the first time.
Jie Lianhuan greeted Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin first. Although they hadn't had much contact, they had been teammates in the Xisha archaeological team.
Jude Kao is a very shrewd person. Although he's quite old, he kept a very humble attitude when facing Cheng Feng.
They didn't put on airs like they were some kind of high-ranking official.
"Dear Cheng, it's been a worthwhile trip for us to meet you this time."
The old man's words impressed Hei Xiazi greatly; his flattery was so slick, he should really start a class on it.
Cheng Feng didn't have a good impression of this international antique dealer, and simply gave a nonchalant "hmm" in response.
However, the young girl next to him caught Cheng Feng's eye a few more times.
It wasn't because of her amazing figure or alluring face, but simply because of the string of ten-cash coins she was wearing.
Clearly, this woman is none other than A Ning, the first female lead who was tragically stabbed.
Although Cheng Feng quickly looked away, Jude Kao still noticed that brief pause.
He looked at his carefully raised adopted daughter and made a plan in his mind.
"Everything is ready, let's set off."
Wu Sansheng's shout rang out, and Qiu Dekao politely bid farewell to Cheng Feng before leading his men toward his own cavalry.
At the very front of the group, Wu Sansheng and the guide rode side by side on horseback.
Hei Xiazi once said that outsiders who wander aimlessly will only end up buried on the grasslands.
It may not be discovered for hundreds or thousands of years, so guides are essential.
Along the way, Cheng Feng saw a large number of hoofprints, all left by the horses and men who had left earlier.
Following the footprints, the group finally caught up with the team that had gone ahead at noon.
Looking ahead, there was an ordinary-looking grove of trees.
These trees are very common on the grasslands, and are also used by the locals to measure altitude.
The presence of such forests indicates that they are located at a high altitude, and the altitude will increase further as they continue forward.
"These people are really impatient. Some camps were only half-set up before they were abandoned."
Chen Wenjin looked at the figures that flashed by in the woods from time to time and said softly.
"Brother, sister-in-law, many, many people have died in this forest. Don't let your guard down tonight."
Ah Xiang, her eyes red, turned her gaze away from the woods and offered a reminder.
The three women all knew that Ah Xiang's eyes were special; in some situations, she could even see things that Cheng Feng couldn't.
Therefore, everyone became more vigilant.
