Chapter 594 Sacrificing oneself for others
"Boom boom boom——"
The deep blue flames pierced through the cracks in the stone slab and nearly burned Gu Yang and Eagle Eye's hands. Even the stone slab became increasingly hot to the touch under the intense heat. Seeing this, Hu Jizhou quickly took off the Vajra Umbrella from his back and used it to brace against the stone slab.
half an hour.
The deep blue sea of fire outside gradually subsided.
Instead, there was an endless darkness, and the air seemed to be filled with the smoky aroma of roasted insects.
"Boom boom boom——"
at this time.
The outside of the stone slab was gently tapped.
Hu Jizhou was unsure whether it was a surviving Black-Eyed Worm that had struck the stone slab, so he asked, "Was it Brother Qin An?"
A faint response came from outside.
"it's me."
Hear this.
Gu Yang and Eagle Eye quickly retreated a few meters.
"Puff-"
Qin An pushed aside the stone slab and walked in.
The archaeological team members all thought Qin An would question them about who had locked the stone slab. Even Wang Ping was a little scared and backed away, thinking to himself that Qin An was really tough and hard to kill!
Unexpectedly, Qin An didn't even ask about it.
He was just a little puzzled as to why Jiang Liuli was holding an unsheathed fishbone knife and why Gu Wuyan was holding a three-legged purple toad.
"This is what you are doing?"
Seeing Jiang Liuli and Gu Wuyan staring menacingly at Wang Ping's retreating figure, Shao Wei quickly interrupted, saying:
“Um… Brother Qin An! Wang Ping closed the stone slab just now, but he didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just that those Black Xuan Eye Insects were too creepy! If we don’t close the stone slab, they might fly in through the crack.”
"Ok?"
Qin An thought that Gu Yang and Eagle Eye had closed the stone slab!
In his opinion.
Closing the stone slab was the right thing to do.
After all, Qin An could easily escape unscathed from the group of Black-Eyed Insects, and the archaeological team only needed to avoid becoming a burden.
But unexpectedly, the person who closed the stone slab was Wang Ping?
If it were anyone else...
Qin An would think it was for the greater good!
But Wang Ping is the only exception.
That son of a bitch is incredibly selfish!
They were definitely after Qin An's life to settle a personal score.
It seems it's time to find a place for Wang Ping to meet his end!
Think of this.
Qin An said calmly, "So... it was Wang Ping who closed the stone slab?"
this time.
Qin An finally understood why Jiang Liuli and Gu Wuyan were looking at Wang Ping with such fierce expressions; it turned out they felt that Wang Ping had almost killed them.
But Qin An's face showed absolutely no expression.
Shao Wei and Wang Ping were also somewhat apprehensive.
Fearing that Qin An would get angry and draw his sword to chop Wang Ping in half!
Unexpectedly, Qin An nodded and said calmly, "Well done! I personally agree with this approach of sacrificing the individual to protect the collective interest. If we were inside and Wang Ping was being chased by zombies outside, and I closed the door, Wang Ping would understand me even in the afterlife, right?"
Seeing that Qin An did not pursue the matter.
Shao Wei and Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief!
After a while.
Both of them gave forced smiles and said:
"Yes, yes! What Brother Qin An said makes perfect sense! Sacrificing the individual for the collective interest... this spirit of selflessness is something we should all learn from!"
Wang Ping patted his chest confidently and said:
"To be honest, if I'm a little slow next time, you can just close the door. I'm already prepared to sacrifice myself for the collective."
The two of them spoke in a very high-sounding and dignified manner.
Moreover, there was an implicit intention to use the moral high ground to restrain Qin An... If Qin An dared to get angry and punish Wang Ping, he would be an absolute selfish person who would want to drag others down with him even when he was doomed.
The rest of the archaeological team around them were all furious!
He had an expression that said he wished he could devour Wang Ping alive.
He even hated Shao Wei, who had spoken up for Wang Ping!
Qin An, however, couldn't help but sneer inwardly: Remember what you're saying now. I hope you won't be crying like dogs when it's your turn to sacrifice yourselves for the collective.
"Put everything away! Let's go."
Qin An subtly gave Jiang Liuli and Gu Wuyan a look, indicating that he would deal with Wang Ping and Shao Wei properly. Upon seeing this, the two women put away their fishbone knives and three-legged purple toads with indignant expressions.
The crisis has been averted.
Shao Wei and Wang Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Because Jiang Liuli did not turn off the volume, the conversation was heard by all the viewers in the live stream.
[Damn it...it's only thanks to the rule of law that this idiot Wang Ping's life was saved! Otherwise, if Brother Qin An got angry, wouldn't he have chopped him into mincemeat?]
[Not that big]
[I think that old geezer Shao Wei has gone senile... Is Wang Ping his illegitimate son? Why is he protecting him so much? Anyone who didn't know better would think Wang Ping has something on him about his parachuting into Chengdu!]
"Self-sacrifice? These two idiots aren't selfless at all! They talk a good game! If Brother Qin An hadn't protected you two, you'd be dead in no time."
[Damn it! I have terminal cancer! If those two idiots come out of Chi You's tomb alive, I'll kill them all!]
Well done! Keep it up! Don't embarrass yourself!
.................................
Behind the valley crevice.
Only after all the crises were resolved did the archaeological team begin to carefully examine the environment.
This is where the foot of two mountains meets, and the width is only about five or six meters. The ridges on both sides of the valley are inclined at 70 degrees, and the mountains are full of strange rocks that are extremely difficult to climb.
At first glance...
There is only the road ahead that we can walk on.
Feeling hungry, the group first sat on the ground and ate some dry rations, then rested for a while to replenish their strength before starting to walk along the path in the valley.
"Is this road we're on considered a mountain gully? Hopefully there aren't any rockfall traps on the ridges on either side, otherwise a few big, round rocks might roll down and crush us into mincemeat!" Yang Lele sighed in a low voice.
The members of the archaeological team walking in front of and behind her heard this.
They all stopped and turned around, looking at her speechlessly.
Zhang Sitian said irritably, "Shut your jinxed mouth!"
"Oh."
The archaeological team then turned around and continued on their way.
But this time!
They walked much more carefully than before, seemingly afraid that Yang Lele's words would come true and large, round boulders would indeed roll down the ridges on both sides.
The group walked forward for an unknown distance!
All I know is that seven or eight minutes have passed.
Just as they were about to stop and let Qin An and Hu Jizhou go ahead to scout the way, a series of scraping sounds suddenly came from the ridges on both sides! It was as if huge, round boulders were actually rolling down the ridges.
