Rebirth of Bloody Romance

The sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the campfire in the camp had not yet been completely extinguished, with a wisp of green smoke swaying in the wind.

Zhong Yuemin woke up early. His eyes moved around the camp and finally stopped on Professor Zhang and Professor Li.

The two professors were sitting around a simple dining table, looking down and pondering the path on the map.

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath, walked to the two professors, and said softly, "Professor Zhang, Professor Li, I have something I want to report to you."

Zhong Yuemin paused, his eyes revealing a bit of determination. "There is a friend of mine in the American team over there. She just found me and said that they have an accurate route map that can guide us to reach our destination faster."

Professor Zhang frowned when he heard this. He raised his head and looked at Zhong Yuemin deeply. "Xiao Zhong, can we trust your friend?" Although his voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable seriousness.

Zhong Yuemin nodded and said firmly, "Professor Zhang, she is my friend and I trust her. Moreover, from her eyes and words and deeds, I can feel her sincerity. She should not lie to us."

Professor Li sighed softly, frowning. He raised his head and looked at Professor Zhang. "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Professor Zhang pondered for a moment and spoke slowly. "Xiao Zhong, you know how important our mission is this time. We can't make any mistakes, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Professor Zhang paused and continued, "But if we can have a more accurate roadmap, it will undoubtedly be a huge help to us."

Zhong Yuemin nodded. He understood what Professor Zhang meant. He took a deep breath. "Professor Zhang, I understand. How about this? We should follow them from a distance and observe for a while. If they do have an accurate route map, we will consider whether to follow them."

Professor Zhang nodded, his eyes revealing some approval. "Okay, let's do as you say. But we must be careful and not be careless."

Professor Li also nodded in agreement.

In the vast Gobi Desert, the sun is like a huge fireball, mercilessly scorching the earth.

American Paul's team has already embarked on the expedition, and their figures appear unusually resolute in the rolling heat waves.

Zhong Yuemin and the team he led followed closely behind them like ghosts, not too far away but not too close, just like a shadow clinging closely to the American team.

David, the tall and mighty American, complained in a low voice with an unhappy look on his face. "Boss, those Chinese keep sticking to us like flies that can't be shaken off. It's so annoying! How about we teach them a lesson?" His tone was full of provocation and undisguised hostility.

Hearing this, Paul turned his head abruptly, his eyes piercing with coldness, and glared at David fiercely, saying sternly, "David, have you forgotten the purpose of our trip? We are here to explore the ruins of the legendary ancient city, not to fight with others! What's more, Miss Avril has a special emotional bond with the Chinese, you'd better not talk nonsense in front of her!"

When David heard Paul mention Avril, his face instantly became stiff and he quickly waved his hand to explain, "Boss, don't worry, I didn't say anything just now, really nothing!" He secretly groaned in his heart, feeling lucky that he didn't offend the beautiful and unfathomable Miss Avril.

Fatty Wang was panting heavily, stepping heavily on the scorching Gobi Desert, and muttering constantly: "This damn place is more torturous than the desert! I was expecting that we could speed up after entering the Gobi Desert, but who knew that the situation would get worse." His chubby face was full of the embarrassment of a mixture of sweat and dust, and his eyes revealed endless helplessness and fatigue.

In fact, the terrain of the Gobi Desert is far more complex and varied than that of the desert. In the vast desert, despite the wide view, the camels can at least take each step steadily; however, in this Gobi Desert, the terrain is undulating, and from time to time a huge pothole will suddenly appear, forcing everyone to take a detour.

What's worse is that the ground is covered with hard gravel and rolling sand dunes, which makes the whole team suffer from bumps in the process of moving forward, and the speed naturally cannot be increased.

Zhong Yuemin looked at Fatty Wang with a face full of resentment, patted him on the shoulder gently and persuaded him, "Fatty, stop complaining. This Gobi Desert is certainly not easy to walk on, but it is also a part of our adventure." His voice was calm and firm, as if he was trying to cheer everyone up.

In the vast Gobi Desert, the figures of the group were like ants being swallowed by the desert, small but tenacious. The scorching sun was in the sky, and the heat waves on the ground were rolling like a burning flame, making it almost impossible to breathe.

The rustling sound of sand underfoot, accompanied by the camel's steady steps, adds a bit of vitality to this silent Gobi Desert.

Zhong Yuemin has been walking since he set out. His steps are steady and powerful, and Dabai is beside him. He and Dabai seem to be unaffected by this harsh environment.

Zhong Yuemin's eyes revealed an unyielding fighting spirit, as if to say: "No matter how difficult it is, I will not give up."

At first, Wang Pangzi and Zheng Tong were still sitting on the camel, enjoying the rare comfort. But as time went on, the bumps of the camel gradually made them feel exhausted. Especially under the high temperature, they felt dry mouth and dizziness.

Finally, in the shadow of a sand dune, Fatty Wang and Zheng Tong decided to abandon their camels and follow Zhong Yuemin on foot.

In the next two days, the group traveled very smoothly. Although the scenery in the Gobi Desert was monotonous, some strange sights could be seen occasionally.

For example, the sand dunes of various shapes, the tenacious camel thorns, and the birds that occasionally flew across the sky. These scenes gradually calmed everyone down, and they began to chat and laugh with each other.

Although Zhong Yuemin doesn't talk much, his presence brings a great sense of security to everyone. Whenever there is danger, he can always respond quickly to protect everyone's safety. This ability makes Wang Pangzi and Professor Zhang full of admiration and trust in him.

Suddenly, there was a burst of dense and harsh gunfire in front of them. This sudden sound made everyone nervous and tense.

Ning Wei quickly came to Zhong Yuemin's side and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Captain, I'll go to the front to check what happened."

Zhong Yuemin nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, but you must be careful and ensure your own safety. Report any situation to me in time."

At this time, Fatty Wang shouted loudly, "Ning Wei, don't leave in a hurry, wait for your fat brother! And Zheng Tong, do you want to come with us to take a look?"

Zheng Tong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "The situation is still unclear. I think it's better not to act rashly for the time being."

Fatty Wang curled his lips in disdain and said sarcastically, "Oh, it's a pity that you don't dare to go to such an exciting scene! But it doesn't matter, Dabai, let's go together, maybe we can find something interesting!"

Zhong Yuemin did not pay much attention to the teasing of this funny couple. He knew very well that the most important thing at the moment was to stay calm and vigilant.

So, Zhong Yuemin turned around and shouted loudly to everyone else, "Everyone, rest where you are, don't move, and wait for further instructions." After that, Zhong Yuemin paid close attention to the movements around him, ready to respond to possible crises at any time.

About half an hour later, Ning Wei and Fatty Wang came back, followed by Avril. Their return broke the tranquility of the camp, and everyone's eyes were focused on them.

Before Zhong Yuemin could ask what was going on, Fatty Wang shouted, "Zheng Tong, I told you to go but you refused. Don't you know..."

Zhong Yuemin sat lazily on the cold ground, fiddling with the seemingly ordinary jade pendant between his fingers, with a hint of ridicule and teasing in his eyes.

Zhong Yuemin slowly raised his head and cast his gaze towards Ning Wei, his lips curled up slightly, outlining a nonchalant smile. "Ning Wei, what happened up there? You guys have been out for so long."

Fatty Wang opened his mouth and was about to answer, but Avril on the side spoke first. Her clear voice flowed out like a cold spring, cold and resolute, as if she had no emotional fluctuations. "Because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, the Japanese started fighting with themselves." After saying that, she turned her head slightly, and her eyes revealed a complex emotion that was incomprehensible.

Hearing this, the corners of Zhong Yuemin's mouth slightly raised, forming a rather playful arc. "Oh? So fierce? What good things can there be in this broken place that is worth them making such a big fuss? Could it be that there are really some rare treasures hidden here?" His tone was full of curiosity and suspicion, but at the same time it also seemed to hide some kind of expectation.

Avril nodded slightly to show her agreement, but her eyes contained a deep meaning that was difficult to understand. "You will understand it when you get there. Maybe you will be unable to resist joining the battle." Her words were like a mist, confusing, yet making people curious.

Zhong Yuemin suddenly stood up from the ground and clapped his hands vigorously, making a crisp sound. Then, he gestured to others to follow him to the scene to find out what was going on.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, Wu Jianjun's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he quickly scanned the surrounding environment.

Then Wu Jianjun walked briskly to Zhong Yuemin's side and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Zhong Yuemin, in my opinion, there is a high possibility that there is a large-scale ancient tomb hidden here. And those guys must be robbing treasures here." His words revealed full of certainty.

Fatty Wang couldn't help but sigh, his bloated body shivering in the biting cold wind. He muttered and complained, "We have to hurry up and get going. Look at the situation now. I'm afraid we won't even be able to eat a hot shit when we get there!" Although this sounded quite vulgar, it really reflected his impatience and fear.

When Zhong Yuemin heard this, he glared at Fatty Wang and shouted angrily, "Fuck you Fatty Wang, get out of here! Dabai, go bite him!"

Before he finished speaking, Dabai had already pounced at Fatty Wang like an arrow from a bow, frightening the latter so much that his face turned pale and he begged for mercy again and again. "Brother Zhong, Brother Zhong, please don't bear grudges. I was just making an analogy, don't take it seriously!"

Zhong Yuemin glared at Fatty Wang, then turned to Professor Zhang and asked, "Professor Zhang, shall we go in and take a look? There shouldn't be anything left." There was a hint of hesitation in his tone. After all, the danger of this ancient tomb was unpredictable.

Professor Zhang thought silently for a while, his eyes revealing a determined look. "No matter what, I have to go down and take a look. Maybe I will find something of great research value! After all, as an archaeologist, I must not miss any opportunity to pursue the truth of history."

"Okay, then you can go with peace of mind. I will stay here to guard." Zhong Yuemin replied.

After receiving the reply, Professor Zhang nodded slightly to show his agreement, and quickly packed up the equipment and props he carried, then led several companions and resolutely stepped into the deep and dark interior of the ancient tomb.

The group walked slowly and carefully along the dark passage that had been dug long ago, as if they were afraid of awakening some unknown existence.

The passage was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The only thing was the faint beam of light from the flashlight in your hand, which flickered in the endless darkness like a candle in the wind.

The sound of their footsteps continued to echo in this empty passage. The crisp echoes made the already unusually silent environment seem even more eerie and terrifying.

However, no one stopped. Everyone gritted their teeth, endured the fear and anxiety in their hearts, and moved forward resolutely.

Gradually, a strong and disgusting smell of decay came over them, like a thick fog, tightly wrapping around everyone's body.

The stench made it almost impossible for people to breathe, their throats itched, and they almost coughed. But everyone tried their best to suppress their body's reaction and moved forward with difficulty.

After a long and arduous journey, they finally arrived at the entrance of a large tomb. In front of the tomb door, they saw a pile of broken pottery and jade wares lying in a mess, which were obviously left by the ancestors.

Professor Zhang couldn't help but sigh softly at the sight. "Alas, it looks like we are still too late." There was a hint of regret in his words, but his bright eyes flashed with irrepressible excitement. "But it doesn't matter. We have a more important mission to accomplish on this trip." After that, he took the lead and stepped into the tomb, followed by others.

Avril looked at Zhong Yuemin with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "They have all gone downstairs, why are you still here? This is not like your usual style!"

Zhong Yuemin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. "It's not important. What really makes me curious is that you seem to be indifferent to those valuable treasures. With your ability, if you really want to get them, I'm afraid no one can compete with you, let alone take them away from you."

After hearing this, Avril's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly regained her composure. "Don't tell me you have no interest in these things at all?"

Zhong Yuemin shook his head gently and said, "No, no, no, of course I am interested. It's a pity that these treasures do not belong to me. No matter how much I like them, it will be of no use." There was a hint of helplessness and relief in his tone.

Evelyn saw that there were not many people around and whispered, "This is just the periphery. The real good stuff is in the back!" Zhong Yuemin glanced at her and thought to himself, that's right.

After Professor Zhang and his group walked out, they continued to move forward without hesitation. At this time, Wu Jianjun quickly walked to Zhong Yuemin's side, his expression slightly solemn.

"Zhong Yuemin, I always feel like something is wrong." Wu Jianjun said in a low voice.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but look at him curiously when he heard this. "Oh? Why do you say that?"

Wu Jianjun frowned and thought for a moment before slowly answering, "This feeling is hard to describe, but the tomb just now was too deliberate. In my opinion, if it goes as expected, there may be other similar situations not far ahead."

Hearing this, Zhong Yuemin's eyes also became serious. Wu Jianjun must have seen something. If he asserted this, then this matter might really be strange.

"Well, in that case, we might as well speed up and go find out what's going on." Zhong Yuemin made a decisive decision.

Just before the Japanese were about to step into the next ancient tomb, Zhong Yuemin, Avril and their group finally arrived at the scene.

Suddenly, Qingluan's clear and pleasant voice rang in Zhong Yuemin's mind. "Zhong Yuemin, please be sure to prevent your companions from touching anything, and if possible, try to avoid entering it."

Zhong Yuemin was puzzled and asked quickly, "Qingluan, what is going on?"

Qingluan replied solemnly, "You will know the specific reason soon, but according to my guess, the layout of the four directions of this Gobi Desert should be exactly the same."

Before he finished speaking, the Japanese on the side shouted loudly, "This is the place we discovered first, you have no right to set foot here!"

Fatty Wang immediately showed an unhappy look on his face and retorted, "Why don't you let us in? Do you think it's yours?"

Zheng Tong couldn't bear to watch. "That's right, these are ownerless things, whoever sees them gets a share."

The other party responded triumphantly, "Just because we got here first and we have more people!"

David asked unhappily, "What about us?"

In front of the Americans, they were like grandsons. "You can, you can." David was very satisfied with their answer and led a group of people into the ancient tomb.

This scene made Fatty Wang, Zheng Tong and the others very angry. Zhang Jiaoyuan was still negotiating with them.

At this time, Zhong Yuemin turned to Wu Jianjun and said, "Go find a higher position and observe whether the surrounding areas have the same layout."

Wu Jianjun asked in confusion, "Zhong Yuemin, what do you mean..."

Zhong Yuemin waved his hand to interrupt him and urged, "Go and check the situation first."
