Chapter 1260: New Arrangements

Announcement on this site

Since entering the desert, the scientific expedition team finally spent a comfortable day. They didn’t sit in a furnace-like car and rush on the road from dawn to dusk. After setting up the infrared camera, you can set up the canopy to enjoy the cool air comfortably.

Several fat, thin, tall, short, black and white bodies lay on the moisture-proof mat, took off their tops, only wore beach shorts on the lower body, bare feet, and sunglasses, with a few cans of hot beer in hand, emptying their minds and thinking about nothing , just wait for the sun to set.

It was a day of immortality.

This is the scientific research life that the scientific research reserve personnel look forward to.

Cats are nocturnal and of course only come out at night - assuming there are actually cats around.

Wei Kang did not enjoy life with them, but talked with Nabari about some experiences in the desert. The latter had seen all kinds of unimaginable and strange things in the desert for decades, which was more interesting than any storybook.

Zhang Zian was pestered by Salim all the time, and even he himself didn't know what he taught.

He He didn't hang out with anyone, and sat alone and sighed. Sometimes Gao Ke and the others came to talk to her, but she didn't have much interest in talking.

In fact, it is understandable that a spoiled young girl came to Egypt, suffered hardships and was frightened, and she must be eager to return home, wishing to return to her parents in advance.

Time flickered to night.

A few days ago, everyone was exhausted during the day, and fell asleep after dinner and chatting for a while, but today everyone is not tired and sleepy, but so many things happened, the relationship between the students is not the same as before Well, even chatting is awkward, and then everyone had nothing to say, so they found excuses and went back to their tents, watching novels, movies, and anime stored in their phones to pass the time.

Zhang Zian was so annoyed, in order to let Salim calm down, he poured a lot of (remarks: northeast accent) phrases into him, and then let him digest it slowly, and finally got some time for himself.

During the day, I used a drone to explore the nearby terrain. Since the sand here is relatively compact, which is conducive to vehicle driving, and there are no undulating parallel sand dunes in the outer area of ​​the Devil's Sea, it is expected that the speed of the convoy will be greatly increased. In addition Li Pitt and the others threw away the burden of the scientific expedition team. After a whole day of driving, they may have arrived at the central area of ​​the Devil's Sea by now, and they will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest.

What will they see there? It would be a lie to say that Zhang Zian is not curious at all, after all everyone has curiosity.

The students all went back to their tents, and he sat alone by the camping light in the center of the camp to rest and think.

"Xiao Zhang, what are you thinking?"

Professor Wei Kang came over to say hello with a cup of coffee.

"I didn't think about anything, I was just in a daze." Zhang Zian straightened his body, "Professor Wei, haven't you rested yet?"

Wei Kang found a folding chair and sat down, "I'm worried about whether Lippett's team will encounter danger in the sea of ​​​​devils, and I'm also wondering if there is any problem with the placement of the infrared camera, and I also want to discuss this with you. About the night watch for a few nights."

It was originally to share the night watch task with Lipett and the others, but they have left now, and the scientific expedition team can only rely on themselves.

"Now we have a small number of people, and there is nothing unusual along the way. There are few people here, and there don't seem to be any large beasts. Do you think it is necessary for us to take turns to watch the night?" Wei Kang asked.

Although it sounded like a discussion, in fact Wei Kang had already revealed his inclination and felt that the need for a night watch was not high.

Zhang Zian thought for a while, and raised an objection: "We should be prepared for danger in times of peace. In this desolate wilderness, anything can happen, and danger often happens when the mind is slack, so I think it's better to stay vigil."

Wei Kang attached great importance to his opinion, nodded and said: "You're right, I asked Mr. Nabari, and he thinks so too. Since you both have the same opinion, it's better to be safe.

I'm going to call everyone over right now, and let's discuss the rotation order of the vigil. "

With that said, Wei Kang was about to get up and call for someone.

"Wait, Professor Wei." Zhang Zian called to stop him, "There's no need to discuss it, I'll just watch the night alone."

"Ah?" Wei Kang was startled when he heard that, and then waved his hands again and again: "Are you alone? Watch the whole night? No! No! How can this be possible? Everyone takes turns to watch the night, and everyone has to take turns."

"Professor Wei, listen to me—you have scientific research tasks, and I have nothing to do during the day. I can catch up on sleep during the day. Anyway, it's only three nights when I'm full." Zhang Zian said.

In fact, Zhang Zian was worried about those four unreliable students, and asking them to watch the night was tantamount to putting their lives in their hands. In addition, he can release the elves during the night watch, ask Lao Cha and Vladimir to help him watch for a while, and find a chance to take a nap by himself, so he won't be very sleepy.

Wei Kang didn't know what he was thinking, but felt that it was unfair to him, so he refused to say anything.

"Let me help too."

Nabari also came over with a hookah, "Jeff and I each keep watch at midnight, so it should be fine, the rest of you should have a good rest."

Obviously, Nabari also had similar concerns as Zhang Zian.

Along the way, Nabari watched with cold eyes, knowing the performance of everyone in the team - which one is reliable and which one is not. He is taciturn, but his heart is like a mirror.

Camping on the edge of the Devil's Sea already made him very uneasy, and it was even more impossible to entrust his life safety on a few unreliable young people.

It would be fine if two people kept watch at midnight, so they wouldn't be too sleepy or too tired, Wei Kang reluctantly agreed and didn't say anything more, but he felt that he owed them both very much.

Nabari and Zhang Zian hit it off immediately, and after a brief discussion, they decided that the former would watch the first half of the night, and the latter would watch the second half of the night, and they would switch tomorrow night.

After the agreement was made, Zhang Zian returned to his tent to rest, recharge his batteries and wait for the midnight shift. By the way, he also advised Wei Kang to return to the tent to rest at ease.

The camp with less than half of the people was extremely quiet at night. If you pricked up your ears, you could even hear the sound of the wind blowing fine sand.

Everyone vaguely felt that what was missing was not only people, but a sense of security.

Humans are social and social animals. The more people there are, the more at ease, and the fewer people, the more uneasy.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Zian fell asleep in a daze. He didn't open his eyes until there was a slight knock on the tent door.

"Jeff, are you awake?" Nabari asked softly outside. 8)
