Chapter 466: Exploring Death Valley Again

Xie Yuchen's figure was like a ghost. After disappearing from Zheng Palace in an instant, he quietly appeared in his familiar study the next moment.

He stood there quietly, his eyes fixed on the exquisite clock on the desk. Time seemed to have frozen, and only a few seconds had passed from the time he left to the time he returned.

Xie Yuchen slowly reached out his hand and gently stroked the precious family photo on the table. In the photo, even his father, who always had a cold face, was smiling at him and his father who were making faces, which made him feel warm in his heart.

"Next time I will definitely bring a camera," he muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, "Then I, Daddy, Father, Yuanbao, and Yuanzheng can take a new photo together. This way it will be a truly complete family portrait!"

At this moment, a sudden cell phone ring rang, breaking the warmth and tranquility of the moment. Xie Yuchen's eyes instantly became extremely sharp, like an angry beast, staring fiercely at the cell phone on the table.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart, then reached out for the phone, pressed the answer button, and asked coldly: "What's the matter?"

A cynical yet somewhat rebellious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Master Huaer, we plan to go to Death Valley again today to find out what's going on. According to Wu Xie and the others, they saw a quick glance yesterday and could see that the guys evacuated in a hurry. They even fled without even having time to deal with the crucial test subjects inside."

Xie Yuchen frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "A base that can be built in a place like that must be of a high level. And seeing how they are rushing to help evacuate, I think something serious must have happened inside. You must be careful and cautious in this operation, and don't take it lightly."

"Master Huaer, don't worry! I'm a blind man! I can't boast about my other abilities, but I'm very lucky! Even if I encounter a dangerous situation, I will definitely be able to stand in front of you intact and unharmed!"

Hei Xiazi's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone. At the same time, he was riding leisurely on a tall and strong horse, slowly strolling on the vast grassland.

The breeze gently brushed his cheeks, bringing waves of fresh and pleasant grass aroma, which mixed with the fragrance of soil, making people feel relaxed and happy. Hei Xiazi took a deep breath and enjoyed the unique charm that nature has given to this land.

Xie Yuchen on the other end of the phone said in a serious tone: "Although the area over there is vast and sparsely populated, we cannot take it lightly.

Those guys are not easy to deal with. Who knows if they have sent people to monitor us secretly?

You know, the faces of you, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang have probably been included in their blacklist long ago.

So we must be extra cautious in this operation..."

However, before Xie Yuchen could finish his words, Hei Xiazi interrupted him and said, "Hey, Master Huaer, I know exactly what you are going to say next.

It was an accident that Wu Xie came to the Northwest. If he hadn't drunk bowl after bowl of bitter medicine soup, he might never have encountered such a strange thing in his life.

Not to mention that I later even entered other people’s memories and dreamed about that mysterious valley of death!”

"Xiaohua, now that Wu Xie has stepped into this situation, it means he can never escape.

No matter where he is at the moment or what he is doing, even if he encounters an accident or gets involved in it unintentionally, those who set up the trap will find ways to guide Wu Xie and make him willingly move towards the ending that has already been set for him.

That’s right, Wu Xie’s ending was already determined from the beginning, and now he has no way back!"

Hei Xia Zi's tone seemed a little heavy, as if he was full of helplessness and sighs about Wu Xie's fate.

"However, the only thing we can do and must do well is to ensure that he can leave this world without any regrets. This can be regarded as the last bit of comfort we can give him." After saying this, Hei Xia Zi slowly put down his mobile phone, and then drove the horse towards the direction of the team.

Fatty Wang, who had been observing silently from the side, saw this and immediately drove his horse forward, teasing Hei Xia Zi with a sly smile on his face: "Hey! Master Hei, are you finally done with your long phone call with your young wife? You are so happy that your mouth is almost stretched to your ears!"

Hei Xiazi rolled his eyes at Wang Pangzi and responded unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense here! I just had something serious to discuss, not what you said."

However, Fatty Wang obviously didn't intend to let Hei Xia Zi off easily, and continued to ask with a playful smile: "Hey hey! Is there anything else you can't say in front of us brothers? Could it be that as I guessed, you two were talking about some shameful boudoir fun on the phone? Hahahahaha..."

As Fatty Wang's unbridled laughter rang out, other people around him also cast curious glances at him.

Faced with the curious or playful looks from the crowd, and Fatty Wang's endless and increasingly excessive teasing, no matter how thick-skinned Hei Xia Zi was, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. His face turned pale and blue, and he was very embarrassed.

However, although he was angry, he couldn't show it on the spot. He could only grit his teeth and glare at Fatty Wang fiercely with murderous eyes.

Hei Xiazi waved his hand vigorously at Fatty Wang, who leaned forward and put his head close to him to get more inside information, and shouted, "Go away! Stay aside! We are talking about business, why are you meddling in this, little fat guy?"

After being driven away by the black bear in this way, Fatty Wang suddenly became like a deflated ball, and his originally excited expression instantly became extremely disappointed.

He muttered to himself, rode back to his horse dejectedly, and continued to be sour.

"Okay! You are old, Mr. Hei. It's not easy for you to find such a beautiful young wife. Naturally, you must treasure her like the apple of your eye and won't allow others to ask you any more questions!"

At this time, Wu Xie, who was walking side by side with Fatty Wang, was also very curious when he heard this. He turned his head to look at Hei Xia Zi and Fatty Wang, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Hey, Master Hei, when did you secretly find yourself a young wife? How come I didn't hear anything about it? Is this still a secret?"

Fatty Wang turned his head and looked at Wu Xie, "Naive! You don't know! Isn't Mr. Hei's little wife the most beautiful and delicate crabapple flower in Yanjing City?"

"Fatty Wang! I'm not from Yanjing! How would I know who the Begonia of Yanjing is!"

Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang who was hesitant to speak, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, "You are not talking about..."

Wu Xie did not say the name, but he saw Fatty Wang nod, pull the reins and go to the empty seat next to Hei Xia Zi, looking up and down carefully at Hei Xia Zi, who was dressed in black, was stingy, and had a mind obsessed with money.

"Just him!"

Fatty Wang nodded.

"It's the black blind one!"

Fatty Wang nodded again.

"Just one person?"

Fatty Wang nodded again.

Just when Wu Xie was about to speak again, he was interrupted by Hei Xia Zi.

"That's it, what's the matter! Can't it be me? Can't it be me? Why can't it be me?"

Wu Xie looked at the frantic Hei Xia Zi, "How could it be you? What did Xiao Hua like about you? Because you're poor? Because you're stingy? Because you're dressed in black?"

"How am I poor? How am I stingy? What's wrong with me wearing all black?"

Wu Xie counted the stingy things of Hei Xia Zi on his fingers, saying, "If you were not poor, you wouldn't sell me a torn fake leather belt for 888!

If you were not poor, you wouldn’t be wearing those black leather jackets that cost ten dollars at a street stall every day!

If you were not poor, you wouldn't run around wearing a pair of tattered boots that you refuse to throw away even though they have holes in them!

If you are not poor, there will be no poor families in the world!"

Hei Xia Zi looked down at the big toe that was eye-to-eye with his, and quickly scratched the sole of his shoe. When Wu Xie saw this, he snorted coldly.

"What's wrong with Heiye's torn boots? Does it hinder Heiye's performance? What's wrong with Heiye's cheap leather jacket? It doesn't hinder Heiye's work in the fields, right? And what about the fake leather belt? That's real leather. I went to Inner Mongolia to buy it and then made it."

Hei Xia Zi really illustrates what it means to tell lies with open eyes.

"You are a person with no education, no job, and no assets. You just want to live off others! You are a slave man!"

Hei Xiazi became very excited when he talked about this. "Who said that Hei Ye has no education? I studied in Germany and obtained a doctorate in both medicine and music!"

"Who else told you that I don't have a job! It's just that my job is classified as confidential, so little Karami like you can't get in touch with it!"

"Let's talk about assets! How could I not have assets after all these years? I just love my wife so I handed them all over!"

"As for being poor, I am poor because I have to hand over everything, not because I cannot earn money."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Fatty Wang how much Hei Ye is worth!"

Wu Xie looked at the man with black glasses and didn't seem to be lying. He knew something about his worth, but whether his job could be kept confidential was still a question. Besides, he didn't believe a word of the fact that he had obtained a double doctorate from the German National School.

"I don't need to ask Fatty about your net worth. I'm skeptical about your job, but I know how difficult it is to graduate from a school in a German country, especially to graduate with a double doctorate."

"Why? Do you need Heiye to show you the diploma that Heiye got?"

Hei Xia Zi's confident look wavered Wu Xie, who had firmly refused to believe it. Could it be that he really had two diplomas from the Germanic school?

"Since you have two diplomas, why do you still want to do this kind of thing? Isn't it better to find a hospital or a band?" Wu Xie asked his question.

After all, it's not that you can't make a living without a skill, so who would do this kind of thing? Wouldn't it be better to be a respected doctor or a respected musician? These two professions have a bright future no matter where they are.

"The doctor's salary is not enough to support Hei Ye to treat my eye disease, nor is it enough for me to spend a lot of money!" Hei Xia Zi suddenly lost his temper. After all, the few pieces of silver that the doctor and the musician had were really not enough to pay for the elixirs that Hua Yu used to treat him!

Every elixir that Hua Yu took out would cost tens of millions if it were sold outside. If he really became a doctor or a musician, he would have to work for Hua Yu for eight lifetimes and still might not be able to pay him back!

"You are still sick!"

After hearing Wu Xie's words, Hei Xia Zi originally nodded in agreement, but then he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been scolded?

"Are you scolding me?"

Wu Xie looked at the stunned Hei Xia Zi, "Who scolded you? Don't you say it yourself? Are you sick?"

Fatty Wang was almost laughing his ass off. There was nothing wrong with the conversation between the two of them, but there was something wrong when they were put together. Wu Xie and Hei Xia Zi didn't realize it yet, and neither did they.

Along the way, the three of them quarreled and finally arrived at the Death Valley.

"Rest here. Xie San, you and Xie Liu take a few people to search the area to see if there are any suspicious people."

"Xie Wu, you and Xie Qi, take the people to set up the tent."

"Everyone else stay where you are!"

Hei Xia Zi issued one command after another, and the entire team started moving.

Xie San and Xie Liu asked a few people to fly a few drones around to observe the surrounding situation. The two of them each took three people and circled one kilometer around the camp.

After finding nothing unusual through drones or with the naked eye, the few people withdrew and went back to report the situation.

Brothers Xie Wu and Xie Qi directed the rest of the people to set up the necessary tents. As the things in the car were moved out one by one, they were moved into the already set up tents.

"Heiye, are you well prepared?"

Hei Xia Zi stood in the tent, looking at the information and rumors about the Death Valley on the table. The more he read, the more frightened he became.

"We are here as a scientific expedition team to explore the truth of Death Valley. You two should also take some things to dress up, otherwise if you meet the residents here on the way, it will be difficult for you to explain."

Hei Xia Zi took out a few things from a box nearby and threw them to Wu Xie and Fatty Wang.

The two took the thing and took a look, and found that it was a sign from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. Fatty Wang was very surprised by it, and he touched it again and again and even kissed it, then hurriedly hung it around his neck.

"How naive! Look, we are now considered to be employees with a regular job!"

Wu Xie looked at the cards in his hand. The texture and information reminded him that these things were real. Hei Xiazi could get such things, so was his job similar to...

Wu Xie was staring at Hei Xia Zi too intently, but as a man who had made a name for himself in the underworld and was also worth a lot of money, Hei Xia Zi was no longer surprised by such looks.

"What's wrong? Are you worried that you might come across the real thing and then people will find out that this thing is a fake?" Hei Xia Zi looked at Wu Xie with a smile.

Wu Xie glanced at Hei Xia Zi with a wry smile, "No, I'm just a little worried about the next move!"

Fatty Wang stood aside, looking a little silly, but actually he was as clear as a mirror in his mind. He could see clearly the undercurrents between the two people.

Don't be fooled by his careless and heartless appearance, he is actually very good at observing people's words and expressions!

It has to be said that Fatty Wang is not stupid. Look at the sign hanging around his neck. Plus, Hei Xiazi mentioned before that the job needs to be kept confidential, so this is most likely true.

And in his opinion, this Fatty Wang must have close ties with the higher-ups, and maybe there are some unknown deals going on!

At this time, Fatty Wang was heard yelling, "Wu Xie, are you hungry? I'm starving. Come on! Come with me to find something to eat! My internal organs are beating like gongs and drums in protest!"

He then dragged Wu Xie out of the tent without saying anything. Before leaving, he also put Wu Xie's sign back around his neck.

The reason why Fatty Wang did this was naturally because he had his own plans.

Firstly, by dragging Wu Xie out to find food, he could show Hei Xia Zi that they were in the same group and were all in the same boat; secondly, it also reassured Hei Xia Zi that he would keep an eye on Wu Xie and would definitely not let this guy do anything rash and ruin their good deeds.

As for Hei Xia Zi, he quite appreciated Wang Pangzi's way of handling things. This man was very smooth and well-versed in the ways of the world. He could understand the deep meaning of many things without having to spend too much time explaining them. In this way, cooperation would naturally be much easier and more enjoyable!
