C177 Ancient Life Form
This strange worm is oval-shaped, about ten centimeters long, it was as if it was wearing the armor of a warrior, with a few rows of sharp spikes on the edge. The seven or eight pairs of slender limbs were already white from the lake water. It seemed like he had been dead for a while.
Of course, not all of the exploration team members were experts in history and archaeology. Therefore, most of them only saw the corpse of a somewhat strange looking bug.
Captain Chen ignored them and ran to Wang Cong's side in two or three steps. He shouted, "Have you contacted him? Haven't you contacted him yet? Hurry up! Why are you dawdling? Hurry up!"
Wang Cong had an aggrieved look on his face.
Usually, Captain Chen was not like this. Furthermore, his communication skills were very clever. This was a satellite phone, not a phone's WeChat. It needed to be reconnected through the satellite. Did the captain see a ghost?
"Captain Chen, it's connected. It's through to Captain Chen!"
Wang Cong was talking when the satellite phone rang.
"What do you mean Captain Chen has connected? Captain Chen did not have constipation. Hahaha..."
"That's right, Wang Cong, your salary this month is gone!"
The two team members could not understand the strange bug in the captain's hand. Seeing that the scene was a little tense, they joked.
But as they smiled, their expressions became stiff. Captain Chen, who had always taken care of them, had started to breathe heavily at this moment.
What exactly was it that made Captain Chen, who did not change his expression even after Mount Tai collapsed in front of him?
"Mister Situ? I am Chen Siyu! Yes, yes, I'm sorry to bother you, but I would like to ask... When I went to your house to disturb you a year ago... Oh, it was the time I brought my team member, Lee Jiale, with me. Yes, yes. At that time, you showed me a fossil of an ancient creature. Right? I remember that you told me that the ancient creature on the fossil was called Trilobita. That's right, right?"
Chen Siyu and Captain Chen's faces were filled with excitement. They were so excited that they almost couldn't continue.
The other team members saw that not only Captain Chen, but also Lee Jiale, who was beside him, was also gasping for air, unable to speak.
The person on the other side of the phone had obviously confirmed the captain's words and asked him what was going on.
"Alright, Mr. Situ, what I'm going to say next... You might say that it's impossible, but I swear on the personality of a senior Exploration Team captain, as well as the lives of my entire family... What I said is completely true! "
Chen Siyu gripped the satellite phone tightly, his veins bulging.
"Hu -"
Captain Chen Siyu waited for Mr. Situ on the other side of the phone to tell him to continue speaking, then he let out a long breath. He said word by word, "Mister Situ, we found a living Trilobita! A living Trilobita! Oh, no, to be precise, it's a Trilobita that just died! "
"What? "
"Heavens!"
"F * ck, it can't be? Living... Ancient creature? How is that possible?"
...
Hearing what Chen Siyu said, other than Lee Jiale, all the other team members started muttering.
Ancient creatures, that was at least a few hundred million years ago. If it was said to be a fossil of ancient creatures, there were still people who believed it. But if you said it was alive, even if it had just died... This was no different from saying that you found someone selling dinosaurs in the market.
Four words: nonsense!
There was only one explanation for this kind of thing. It was some kind of creature that was extremely similar to the ancient creature Trilobita. Lee Jiale and Captain Chen Siyu had mistaken it for a Trilobita. After all... There were many similar things in the animal and botanical world. For example, there were some mushrooms with 98% similarity. Some were extremely delicious, while some were like dying when they were touched.
However, if Lee Jiale admitted his mistake, how could the experienced captain, Chen Siyu, admit his mistake?
Even if both of them were mistaken, then Old Mr Situ wouldn't be mistaken, right?
Indeed, on the other end of the phone, Old Mr Situ clearly did not believe it.
However, Chen Siyu had already made such a heavy vow just now. Even if he didn't believe it, Old Mr Situ couldn't easily laugh at him or casually brush it off.
"Alright, alright, alright. Mister Situ, I'll send the photo to you right now. Please wait patiently for a moment. Alright, alright, I'll wait for your call!"
After waiting for Mr. Situ's reply, Chen Siyu quickly hung up the phone. Then, he forced himself to calm down and said to Wang Cong, "Quick, take a few more photos of this thing and send them to Mr. Situ's email."
"But Captain, we don't have any signal right now. If we want to send the photos, we need to go through at least four procedures, and the cost..."
Wang Cong scratched his head with some difficulty and said to Chen Siyu.
Chen Siyu rushed in front of Wang Cong and waved his hand. He grabbed Wang Cong's collar and lifted him off the ground like a chicken.
"I don't care what method you use or how much money you spend. In short, send me the photo immediately! This isn't a small matter. If my judgment is correct, this is very likely to be a revolution in the archaeology and biological evolution world and an unprecedented earthquake! If this is true, then what is the meaning of Dalwin's evolution! "
Chen Siyu was like a mad lion, his eyes full of greed.
"Yes... Yes, Captain!"
Wang Cong did not dare to contradict Chen Siyu. He immediately nodded and agreed in a low voice.
Seeing this, Chen Siyu let go of Wang Cong's collar and put him on the ground.
Wang Cong immediately took out the professional camera with an extremely high resolution and took pictures of the suspected Trilobita corpse. There was absolutely no blind spot at all.
After doing all of this, Wang Cong took out a super-miniature PC from his backpack and sent a photo to Mr. Situ's email through a complicated process.
This process lasted for about half an hour. During this time, the captain Chen Siyu and Lee Jiale sat at the side and smoked hard, as if they were extremely anxious and impatient.
Fortunately, after 20 minutes after the photo was sent, Mr. Situ seemed to have a reaction.
Of course, it was not easy to call back, but after receiving Mr. Situ's phone signal, Wang Cong, who had learned his lesson, immediately started to call him.
A few minutes later, the satellite phone was connected again. This time, the captain, Chen Siyu, did not take the phone. Instead, he asked Wang Cong to turn on the speaker.
It seemed that Chen Siyu also knew that his reaction just now was a little too extreme. He also wanted to use Mr. Situ's phone call to prove or explain to everyone.
If Mr. Situ's words destroyed his hope, then he could use this opportunity to apologize to everyone, especially Wang Cong, and if he really guessed it...
Mister Situ, your name is Situ Wuwei. That is the number one figure in Huaxia's archeology, history, biology, and archaeological treasures. One of the few remaining elders, he said yes. It had to be. If he said no, then Chen Siyu's thoughts would be cut off.
"Captain Chen!"
An old but solemn voice came from the phone.
"Old Mr Situ, I am here. Tell me, we can all hear you!"
Chen Siyu replied respectfully to the phone.
"Captain Chen, send me your coordinates immediately. I have already informed some of the experts in our industry to come for a meeting. After the meeting, I will bring all the experts to your place immediately. Please, don't hesitate to protect the Trilobita's corpse at all costs!"
Mister Situ's voice was clearly a little excited as he finished speaking.
"What?! "
Even the great elder Situ Wuwei from the archeology, history, and cultural relics world said so. Could it be...
" Then, Mister Situ, could it be that what we discovered was really... "
Chen Siyu swallowed his saliva and carefully asked.1
"That's right! From the photo, it should be the Trilobita's corpse! Furthermore, it's the current Trilobita! Of course, we haven't seen the real thing yet. We have to see it first before we can be 100% sure. However, I think, Captain Chen, your discovery will be a huge bomb on the theory of Darwen's evolution! It will be in China... Oh, no, what kind of waves will it cause in the world of archeology and paleontology? Let's wait and see!"
Mister Situ hung up the phone after saying this.
"All members, listen up!"
The captain, Chen Siyu, took a deep breath and stood up straight like a javelin.
Usually, Chen Siyu rarely used this kind of serious tone to talk to big guys. In addition, his prestige in the team was already very high, so when he said this, all the team members put down the things in their hands and surrounded him.
"Everyone heard it just now, right? What is inside this box is very likely something that our current science cannot explain! In other words, if Mr. Situ and his group of experts were to come here... After looking at the real thing and confirming that it is correct, then us people... We will all be recorded in the annals of history along with this thing!"
When the team members heard what their captain Chen Siyu said, they were all in an uproar.
Although these team members were also paid, compared to them, what they pursued was excitement and achievements. Money and whatnot were not very important.
Hence, the sentence "write it down in history" ignited everyone's hot blood.
"Speak, captain, give the order!"
The team members shouted in unison.
"Alright!"
Chen Siyu put the wooden box in his pocket.
There was an important item in the pouch. At this moment, Chen Siyu put the wooden box with the corpse of the Trilobita in it. His intention was simple.
"From now on, we will set up camp here until Mister Situ and the others arrive. All of you must defend this place to the death, or else you will die. We will also die together with this thing! If anyone were to have designs on this thing or do something that would make everyone feel disheartened... Hmph! Don't blame me, Chen Siyu, for being merciless!"
" Pa! "
After saying that, Chen Siyu stabbed the military knife in his hand into the ground beside the lake.
