Du Leding rubbed his chin, feeling as if he had heard "chaoqinmuchu" somewhere recently. Is this idiom so frequently used?

Su Teng said: "Do you still keep those notes of your grandfather?"

Xia Yao nodded: "It's still in the basement of my grandma's house. If you need it, I'll go back and look for information about it."

"Don't take the time," Du Leding said with his eyes wide open. "This matter is very urgent. It may be related to Yang Han's current state of unknown life and death. We must find him quickly."

Xia Yao nodded mechanically: "Oh, yes."

Du Le Ding paused, and quickly added: "By the way, see if there is anything related to the astrolabe mentioned in his notes."

Xia Yao still said: "Oh, yes."

Du Leding: "..."

Su Teng answered the phone call, and when he came back, he said goodbye to Xia Yao and exchanged numbers, asking Xia Yao to notify them as soon as he found out.

After leaving the coffee shop, Du Leding stretched in the morning sun with the mental exhaustion caused by Xia Yao.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Su Teng said, "Your genetic mutation and my eyes may all be related to the lost civilization in Xia Yao's grandfather's notes. If you can find the relevant information, you may be able to find it soon." clue."

Optimistically speaking, this is indeed the case. Once Xia Yao finds his grandfather's notes, things about Zhao Guo will be much clearer.Of course Duledin hoped that both of them are safe and sound, but the words in his mouth were not very pleasant: "I hope so. After all this is resolved, I can finally part ways with you. Each of us will return to our own lives In the middle, continue to have a life that has no intersection. Thinking about it makes me a little excited!"

Su Teng stood beside the car, stunned for a moment, and said, "Why, you don't need to leave even if the matter is over."

"Why don't you leave, and continue to live and eat at your house for free?" Du Leding opened the car door and smiled at Su Teng, "I'm not a thin-skinned person, but I'm not that thick."

Then he got into the car.After sitting for a while, seeing that Su Teng hadn't started the car, Du Leding asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that Zhou Ruxu and Snow had discovered something? Why didn't you leave?"

Su Teng looked at him, leaned over to help him fasten his seat belt, and said in a low voice, "Do you have something on your mind, or something you want to tell me?"

Du Leding looked down at Su Teng's eyes, which were close at hand, and couldn't tell whether the melancholy in his eyes at the moment was innate or caused by his current mood.

"Of course I have something on my mind," Du Leding said solemnly, "that shit mutant gene is like an indeterminate time bomb buried in my body, and it might explode at any time. Maybe one day you find out that Charlie is gone, It might be in my stomach."

"Eat me," Su Teng started the suspension car, "Charlie's hair is too much, it's hard to digest."

"I don't dare to speak to President Su, it's not worth breaking my teeth." Du Leding laughed mockingly, put the backrest back, leaned back on it and said, "Before things happen I started worrying about nothing, it’s really tiring to live. What if these mutations don’t appear in humans like snow rats? Anyway, I haven’t won the 5000 million lottery.”

Su Teng likes Du Leding, no matter how complicated the situation is, he can think about it.But in the depths of Su Teng's heart, there was a flood. He was really afraid that he would lose Duledin because of it.

"Where are we going?" Du Leding felt that they were walking back.

Su Teng recovered from his contemplation.Zhou Ruxu asked Su Teng to take the metal block from the ancient tomb of Wushan on the phone, so Su Teng went back to the seaside villa first.

The journey back and forth is not short, and Du Le Ding wondered: "Can't Knight take it to school to meet us?"

"She went out with Charlie Dupin." Su Teng explained, "and the metal block is in my collection room, and I need to identify my iris to unlock it."

Du Leding smiled sarcastically, showing a face of hating the rich, and mercilessly overturned a boatload of people: "You rich people like to build a secret room, some hide gold bars, some hide famous paintings, What are you hiding?"

Su Teng smiled slightly, and the sun fell on the bridge of his nose, creating a charming halo: "Some very precious things found from the earth."

Du Leding sat up at once: "Can I return to Earth now?"

"It's hard, it needs 'smuggling', and generally only space pirates' spaceships will pass there." Su Teng said, "And the environment of the earth is also very bad, it is no longer suitable for human survival. I went there four years ago. Because I... had positioned the place to go in advance, so I left without too long a delay."

Four years ago——Du Leding was very surprised: "You are only seventeen, you are quite courageous."

Su Teng glanced at him: "I have a reason to go."

Du Leding: "What reason?"

"I want to trace a person's past," Su Teng said divinely, "I want to know the trajectory of his life, and I want to see every trace he left."

Du Leding took it for granted that he was talking about his grandfather, so he didn't continue to ask.After arriving at the school, the two came to the geoelectric current laboratory of the School of Geology. Zhou Ruxu and Snow were fighting each other as usual, and each was more venomous than the other.

If it hadn't been for Su Teng talking about the past of the two of them, it would have been hard for Du Leding to imagine that Snow had ever liked Zhou Ruxu.

Snow smiled at Du Leding: "Welcome to Stone Head Studio."

"What is a stone head?" Zhou Ruxu glared at Snow with dissatisfaction.

Snow raised his hand to indicate the pile of strangely shaped and colorful ores behind Zhou Ruxu. The meaning is self-evident—you guys who study geology and minerals have stones in their minds.

Zhou Ruxu naturally wanted to go back, Du Leding hurriedly stopped him: "Let's get straight to the point, my days may be numbered!"

He told the test results, and the two were speechless for a moment.After a while, Snow patted Zhou Ruxu: "If he just bites off other people's heads, you don't have to be afraid, after all, they are stone heads."

Zhou Ruxu's fighting spirit was so low today that Snow actually gained the upper hand.He shook his head helplessly, turned on the computer, pointed to the bronze box connected with seven or eight metal wires on one side, and said, "The things inside are the same as the metal blocks in your hands."

A long strip of metal appeared on the computer screen, and it looked exactly the same as the one in the ancient tomb of Wushan.Zhou Ruxu said: "This is the first layer of matter detected by sound waves."

Su Teng said: "Is there something in the metal block?"

"Yes, the word ingenious is used at this time." Zhou Ruxu said, typing a few keys on the keyboard, the metal block on the screen became a phantom, gradually revealing the subtlety of the inner layer, two exquisite jade The unicorn is embedded in it. Although it is extremely small, the outline of the eyebrows and eyes are all fine, and even the hair of the unicorn horn is lifelike.

"This shows one thing," Du Le Ding stared at the screen intently, "the metal block is definitely not the crypt dweller's, it's just that those who built the stone temple and sacrificial altar carved their logos on the metal block .”

Zhou Ruxu said: "It's really hard to say. From the perspective of craftsmanship, it may indeed not be made by the crypt dwellers, but the source of the material of this metal block itself is not certain."

Su Teng handed over the metal block from Wushan Ancient Tomb to Zhou Ruxu. After the same sound wave and electromagnetic wave detection, and computer analysis and drawing, they saw the same unicorn on the screen, except that there were three in this metal block.

Du Leding pondered: "Two, three, do these numbers have any meaning?"

Zhou Ruxu said: "The material of these metal blocks is also very interesting. The composition contains iron nickel and silicate, and the content is about 48%."

Su Teng looked at him and said, "Meteorite?"

On the earth, meteorites are a relatively rare type of meteorites, accounting for only 2% to 4% of the number of meteorites, which is extremely rare.After hearing this, Du Leding explained: "So what does this mean?"

Zhou Ruxu spread his hands: "How do I know that a certain ancient man found a piece of meteorite and painstakingly made these containers wrapped with jade unicorns in a special way. It may just be a handmade work out of hobbies!"

Snow squinted at him and said, "Didn't you have an idea before, and you still said it plausibly, why are you pretending to be stupid now?"

"That's just a small pleasure of flashes of inspiration when my well-developed and intelligent brain is doing complicated work." Zhou Ruxu shrugged and said to Su Teng and Du Leding, "In view of these two experiences, all the quantum fields are abnormal It all started to weaken after you took out the metal block, so I guess there may be some kind of strange substance in this meteorite, which reacted with some kind of newly formed substance near them, opening a wormhole to this planet .”

He said with a smile: "Just think about it."

A wormhole is a multi-dimensional space tunnel connecting two distant space-times. Some people have assumed that there is a kind of strange matter, because it has positive energy and negative energy at the same time, and the repulsion created can keep the wormhole open.

According to this theory, Zhou Xu's conjecture is not completely impossible.But Zhou Ruxu has a bolder hypothesis, that is, the material in this meteorite forms a wormhole, and whenever they enter the wonderful quantum field, they are actually no longer on the Miller star.

"One more thing," Snow switched the image back to the inside of the bronze box, closed the innermost survey map, returned to the side of the metal block at the beginning, turned to the back and pointed at the black shadow at the edge below, "You guys What do you think this is?"

Du Leding teased: "The computer is broken?"

Snow: "..."

Su Teng said: "In addition to the metal block, there are other items in the bronze box."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Su is really amazing, he immediately figured out things that I can't understand." Du Leding said ironically with an exaggerated expression.He didn't give Su Teng a chance to speak, and said irritably, "Then we have to find the crescent-shaped key!"

Su Teng sighed silently. Du Leding's tit-for-tat attitude was even worse than when they first met, and it was almost escalating to the level of Zhou Ruxu and Snow.

Zhou Ruxu smiled: "That's right, boy, you have to work hard. Especially it seems that there are another group of people who are also very interested in these things, we have to speed up and get ahead of them."

"I'm not too worried about this," Du Leding said. "The mission of those mercenaries, it seems, is just to get the internal information of the metal block, and they took pictures and then withdrew. So for them, the number of jade unicorns is the most important thing." focus."

"What if it's because the conditions don't allow it?" Snow said, "If you and Su Teng hadn't somehow entered the coffin box, you wouldn't have found this piece of metal."

Du Leding felt that what he said made sense, so he asked, "Where is the next quantum field anomaly?"

"It's very popular, I found two." Zhou Ruxu showed a smile, "One is in the Sibin Esso Strait, and the other is in the Tekapo Desert."

Snow was very excited. He had been looking forward to the Sibin Esso Strait for a long time, so he couldn't help jumping up and said: "I'm going to salvage the sunken ship in the big trench, don't let anyone stop me!"

Du Leding's situation was completely opposite to Snow's, and he said with black lines: "Can we go to the desert first, I just suffered from hydrophobia not long ago, and I need to take it easy."

The ocean is full of water—he just thinks about it and it gives him a headache.

"It's better than this," Su Teng suggested, "We will split into two groups. Sibin Esso only needs to hire a salvage ship to salvage the sunken ship. You two can go. Tintin and I will go to Tekapo."

Du Leding really hoped that he had the confidence to continue to compete with Su Teng, and chose the Sibin-Esso Strait with dignity, but when he thought of being in the boundless ocean, he suddenly became depressed.

Zhou Ruxu glanced at the elated Snow, and asked in a discussing tone: "Can Knight be assigned to our side?"

"Yes," Su Teng said, "as long as she wants."

Hearing the first two words, Zhou Ruxu was quite happy, but after Su Teng uttered the second half of the sentence, he suddenly became depressed. So far, he didn't seem to have received a definite answer to any of his requests to Knight.

However, he persisted and called Knight, trying to persuade her to take a bikini and take a boat ride with him on the blue sea.

Knight: "Give the phone to Su Teng."

Zhou Ruxu said stickily: "We are so familiar, what can't you just tell me?"

Knight was as cold as a rock: "I'm going to hang up."

"Wait, wait, wait." Zhou Ruxu handed the phone to Su Teng helplessly, and at the same time winked at Su Teng to say something nice for him.

Su Teng turned a blind eye, picked up the phone, said "hmm" several times, and finally said, "Are you sure you want to go back?"

What did Nat say over there, and Su Teng hung up the phone.

Zhou Ruxu didn't understand, so: "What did she say, where do you want to go back?"

Su Teng returned the phone to Zhou Ruxu: "Somewhere."

Zhou Ruxu rolled his eyes, and threw himself on the table in an exaggerated posture.A few people packed up their things and had lunch together. The four of them had their own concerns, but they all came to the same goal by different routes and formed a word—whatever you ask for.

"Here are the coordinates," Zhou Ruxu sent Su Teng the anomalous points of the quantum field in the great desert through his personal terminal, "There are many towns over there, you can take a rest before entering the desert."

Snow picked up a piece of veal steak, thought about it, and put it down again: "Does anyone remember the famous Tekapo Sand Bandit back then?"

Zhou Ruxu snatched the veal steak from his plate: "Stop talking about revealing your age."

"I'm only 23, so there's nothing I can't reveal!" Snow glanced at him, then turned to Su Teng and said, "Seven years ago, didn't there be a group of robbers who sailed in the desert to rob travelers and caravans?"

There are many towns in the Tekapo Desert, and some caravans will trade between these towns, traveling through the desert for seven or eight months of the year.

Su Teng rested one arm naturally on the back of the chair behind Du Le Ding, holding the tableware in his right hand, and did not take a bite of the food in front of him, staring at Du Le Ding's bulging cheeks in a daze from the beginning to the end.

Hearing Snow's words, he slowly retracted his gaze: "I remember, but it has disappeared in recent years."

Snow said seriously: "I heard that they are still active in the desert, but they may have changed their leaders, and their behavior is different from before."

Originally, they acted arrogantly, but they mainly robbed goods and property, hardly harming human life.Now they are acting low-key, but they have committed murder and arson, and have become a group of bloodthirsty lunatics.

Du Leding had almost eaten, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and leaned back: "How do you sail in the desert?"

Snowby made a stroke: "Actually, there are wheels under the boat, which use a nuclear power system and are very powerful to drive."

Du Leding felt very novel: "If we meet bandits, we will snatch their boat and drive away."

"It's better not to encounter them," Snow continued to talk about the atrocities of sand bandits. "In some towns in the desert, there are rumors that those sand bandits not only kill people, but also commit very cruel acts."

Snow's eyes slid over the faces of several people one by one: "They will skin the living people."

Du Leding clicked his tongue twice: "There is only one truth, and I know who the murderer is—Zhou Bapi!"

None of these people had heard of Zhou Papi, but because of this surname, Snow naturally looked at Zhou Ruxu.

"What does it have to do with me?" Zhou Ruxu asked in surprise, "Who is Zhou Papi?"

Du Leding leaned back in joy, and then found himself resting on Su Teng's arm, only to notice that his posture seemed very intimate with him.

He throbbed for a moment, but forced himself to sit up straight.He gestured to Su Teng, and said with a disgusted expression: "Mr. Su can't control his body at such a young age, he should exercise more, and don't throw his arms and legs around."

"Maybe I'm really sick," Su Teng slowly withdrew his arm, and said "confessed" in a low voice, "Everywhere in my body, I can't help but want to get closer to you."

Du Le Ding's Adam's apple slid a few times, and he drank himself a large glass of cold drink to freeze his heart that was about to move.He bluntly changed the subject and said: "Skinning is too much a technical test. The rough men of the sand bandits should not have this kind of patience, unless they just use a knife to cut it casually. The desert is unpredictable, even in the It is also difficult to understand its wonders, so there are many unimaginable conjectures and legends, which are basically unreliable."

"It doesn't matter whether it's reliable or not," said Zhou Ruxu, who had been silent all this time, "in short, be careful."

After the four of them had dinner, they went back to their respective homes.It wasn't until the car drove for a long time that Su Teng said: "I have been to the Tekapo Desert once. What Snow said is not groundless, but the skinned people may not be those sand bandits."

Du Leding snorted absently, and Su Teng knew that he was actually listening, so he talked about that extremely short trip to the desert.

Two years ago, the military purchased two extremely light stealth tracking mechs from Su's industry.It is unarmed, invisible to radar and heat-seeking, capable of supersonic flight, the fastest mech, and designed for covert operations.

At the same time, the military also purchased a batch of powerful atomic energy bombs from the Paxno military manufacturing company, and conducted testing experiments with two mechas in the uninhabited area of ​​Tekapo.

Su Teng was invited to go.After the two mechas were tested, Paxnow's atomic energy bombs appeared on the stage.These atomic energy bombs are also nicknamed - bee swarms. The launcher can launch 24 bombs at a time, each changing its trajectory in the air, and it is difficult to be hit all at once.

The military was very satisfied with the results of the experiment, and signed the mecha and the original energy bomb on the spot.After every military experiment, there will be a special team to clean up the traces. After the people who watched the scene retreated, a 16-member team dubbed the "Desert Scavengers" entered the desert.

They divided into four groups, and three groups quickly cleaned up the remains of the explosion and returned to the assembly point, but the other group did not return for a long time.Not long after, the group of people reported in the communicator that they had discovered a very strange place.

The leader of the team reported that they found a building complex and a large number of corpses that they had never seen before.

So a team of more than [-] people went to the so-called strange place in the desert according to the positioning signal sent back by that group.

Hearing this, Du Leding guessed: "Actually, the sand bandits are all dead, among those corpses?"

"I don't know," Su Teng glanced at him, "After the dispatched team arrived at the designated location, they found nothing, not even a single person in the desert, let alone a building complex."

Du Leding didn't think it was strange: "Maybe I saw a mirage. It's not unusual to see anything in the desert, most of them are hallucinations."

"The people who were sent at that time came back and talked about it, saying that they thought so too at the beginning," Su Teng said in a flat tone, "They continued to communicate with the four-member team and asked them to report their location."

The location of the four-person team showed that they were nearby, and the four people swore that there was absolutely no hallucination, otherwise how could the four people see exactly the same scene?

The search team spread out, centered on the position of the four-person team, and searched within a radius of two kilometers, but found nothing.They even called a helicopter to conduct a large-scale search, but nothing was found.

And those four people were still in the communicator, repeating the same words over and over again.

Du Leding frowned: "They can recall the four-person team first."

Su Teng said: "They did. The four-person team received the order to return immediately, and then lost contact."

"Maybe it's within the scope of the abnormal quantum field." Du Leding said, "By the way, have you found a new communication method?"

Having already returned to the seaside villa while talking, Su Teng drove the car into the basement and parked the driveway: "You can use ground wave communication, and if Zhou Ruxu and the others want to dive, they can also use it."

"Then it's up to you, Mr. Su." Du Leding got out of the car, left a cold sentence, and put his hands in his pockets to swing towards the elevator.

Su Teng closed the car door and immediately chased after him. He grabbed Du Leding and pressed him against the elevator door, forcing him to look directly at him: "Ding Ding, can you tell me what happened?"

The last time Du Leding was pressed against the wall, he was punched right afterward.Based on his previous experience, he took a defensive action while being taken aback.After he reacted, he got a little angry, pushed Su Teng, and before he pushed Su Teng away, he simply cocked his neck and said with a nonchalant smile: "Mr. Su, haven't you heard that a gentleman uses his mouth but doesn't move his hands? Are you like this?" Out of style?"

Su Teng didn't bother to listen to his jokes: "I'm seriously asking you now, did I do anything to make you unhappy, and if so, can you tell me?"

His tone was very soft, and Du Leding's heart softened when he heard it, but his face still had a stinky and hard expression, refusing to admit his entangled thoughts: "How could it be, President Su can't even treat a stranger like that?" Putting his life to the rescue, he's like a superhero. If there's anything wrong with it, it's that it's so perfect, it's unrealistically perfect."

"I can feel that you are in a bad mood when you look at me," the melancholy in Su Teng's eyes deepened, "Is that why you hate me?"

Du Le Ding's lips moved, his poor tongue suddenly became dumb, and he couldn't speak for a while.He is like a primary school student who can't write a composition. He can't find any words to express his inner thoughts, and he doesn't even know how to express his inner feelings.

"I'm not as perfect as you said. There are too many things in this world that I can't do well." Su Teng approached him and said, "Now it seems that I can't even do the thing of liking you well."

Du Leding's heart trembled, and he almost forgot the instinct of breathing.He stared intently at Su Teng's eyes, trying to tell whether the figure reflected in his pupils at this moment was himself or not.

"God, we're back!" Another car drove in from the basement, Charlie poked his head out from the passenger seat, and waved to the two people in front of the elevator.

"You...let go first." Du Leding pulled Su Teng's hand away and said in a low voice.

With a bag in his mouth, Dubin walked up to Su Teng and shook his tail.Su Teng took a deep look at Du Leding, let go of his hand very reluctantly, and rubbed Du Bin's head.

Knight came down from the cab with a cigarette in his mouth, carrying two bags of ingredients, and said to the two who were blocking the elevator door: "If you want to fight, go to the bedroom and don't get in the way."

According to Du Leding's past peeing behavior, he would definitely complain about the logic of this eldest sister-why do you go to the bedroom when you fight?It's just that at this moment, he kept thinking about Su Teng's words in his heart, and he couldn't hear what others said at all.

"God," Charlie hugged Su Teng's leg, "Nate said she won't act with us this time, so it's you, me and Ding Ding?"

Su Teng glanced at Du Leding, and said lightly: "Actually, there are four people."
