1267 Transformation (1/2)

Wei Kang and others had already accepted, albeit reluctantly, that the loud noise was from the earthquake. It may be a small earthquake with some thunder and heavy rain. However, after hearing the second loud noise, no one could stay calm. What earthquake made sounds at such regular intervals and pitches? The direction and volume of the sounds were almost the same. It did not sound natural.

”This... What is going on here? Still an earthquake?”

They looked at each other suspiciously.

Wei Kang was also speechless.

The expedition team consisted of individuals with high academic qualifications. Their IQs may not be much higher than those of ordinary people, but they were unlikely to be lower. However, they had lived in their ivory towers for some time and did not have much experience. With time, they would get better.

”It's not an earthquake.” Zhang Zian simply pointed out the situation. ”I think it is Peter Lee and his team, who are blowing something up with explosives.”

”Dynamite?”

Much like being smashed with a thin layer of window paper, everyone's faces changed dramatically. They started sweating profusely despite the cool night wind.

Taking into account the various behaviors of Peter Lee and his team, the explanation of explosives was reasonable.

The expedition team had not brushed shoulders with death. In fact, they had always been with the god of death!

”What? Are they a group of terrorists?” Xiao Tianyu obviously could not take what was happening.

Gao Ke scolded him. ”Terrorists bomb big cities. Why would they do so in the barren desert?”

”Stop arguing! At this juncture, the both of you still want to argue!” Wei Kang was angry and scared. He stomped his feet and stopped the two men from bickering.

He wiped his cold sweat with his sleeves and said, ”Now, go back to the camp and pack up. Let's get out of here.”

”We are not going to wait for them?” He He suddenly spoke up. Her thin body looked especially weak at night.

”We won't wait for them! They are wolves hiding under sheepskins! They must have come to the Devil's Sea with an ulterior motive, doing things that could not be made known. If we wait for them to come out, they may kill us!” Wei Kang said with anger.

”Yes! Let's go first and quickly leave the desert for home. Don't wait for Peter Lee and his team!” Xiao Tianyu echoed. He had long been looking forward to leaving.

Gao Ke saw that He He was standing there in a daze. He thought that she hadn't woken up yet, and he reached out and tried to pull her. However, she avoided his touch.

”You guys can go. I want to stay behind by myself.” Her pitch was low, and her tone was quiet.

”What?”

Everyone else was stunned and thought they'd gotten it wrong.

Usually, He He was the first person to retreat. She'd regretted the first night after she entered the desert. She'd cried and wanted to go home. The others had to pacify her before she was persuaded to continue with the journey. Now, she was choosing to stay and not leave. Had something happened to her?
