Chapter 1324 Tasting the White Grass (1/2)

They chatted as they ate their sumptuous lunch. Once the meal was finished, the group of them brought their tools along to start work.

After all, they were there to work and not for a holiday.

The villagers whom they had held hostage were the most enthusiastic about work. This time around, they had brought along six men to assist them in the search for meteorites. After all, that kind of work did not require any special technical skills.

When those villagers learned that it was time to start work, they immediately carried their bags over and whipped out their torchlights to prepare to set off. They worked diligently and kept their eyes on the ground, not willing to let even one rock slip their observation.

The reason for their work ethic was that Li Du and the rest had fed them well. At every meal, there would be grilled meat, steamed meat, fish, shrimps, and beer. Such conditions were much better than in the village.

Hence, they wanted to prove themselves at the work so that they could stay in the group and continue living in such conditions.

Li Du had searched the nearby surroundings. He let young Ford split the group into teams and drew up the search areas. Then they could search more strategically.

After young Ford was done with making all the arrangements, he sighed and said, ”We are going to resume the most boring job on earth again.”

Li Du said, ”What do you guys actually want to discover in searching for the meteorites? To be frank, I know that we can probably identify the elements in the meteorites. But what has that got to do with the Fifth Dimension you guys are looking for?”

Young Ford said, ”It's a long story. If you really want to know, I have to start from the very beginning. It is a story that has to do with the galaxy's timeline and origin of species…”

Hearing that, Li Du felt like his head was already muddled. He waved his hands and said, ”Alright, alright. The mystery you guys are trying to solve is too deep for me. I'd rather not understand it and just do my job properly.”

Young Ford did not like Li Du's attitude. However, as Li Du had helped them in many ways, he did not say more.

As he had more interactions with Li Du, he realized that Li Du had strong capabilities. Deep down, he hoped that Li Du would join them.

Hence, he grabbed Li Du's shoulder and said, ”Aren't you curious? The thing we are looking for can change human history or even the entire galaxy!”

Li Du looked at him and said, ”I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should. It's not a nice thing and I don't really want to say it.”

Young Ford said, ”Go on.”

Li Du said, ”There's an ant that says it can change the global patterns in the human world. Would you believe that?”

Young Ford understood what he was trying to say instantly. He smiled. ”If the ant can really open its mouth and articulate this idea, I'd believe it.”

Li Du laughed helplessly. He felt that this bunch of men was led by an illusion.

Young Ford did not have any intention to continue trying to persuade Li Du. He only said, ”Actually, we do not really intend to change human history or to debate on the logics in the galaxy by pursuing this matter. We just want to correct some past mistakes that we have done, people we have wrong and things that have gone awry through the Fifth Dimension.”

Li Du shook his head and said, ”I just want to enjoy today's good time. Why do we have to return to the past or know what's in the future? We can just enjoy what we have today. Wouldn't that be enough?”

Young Ford smiled. ”I wish you all the best in that.”

Li Du met his eye and nodded at him. ”I wish you all the best too, buddy.”

He let out the two little bugs, which flew beside one another and began their search anew.

Compared to others, he covered more ground. He just walked forward as he normally would and the two little bugs searched the territory to his left and right.
