The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 604 Sand Sea 30

……

The team leader was named Zhang Lin. He was in his early forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He spoke in a strong and forceful voice. If you saw him standing in a movie, you would immediately recognize him as a respectable person.

However, after two years of living in the desert, he became much thinner, the lenses of his glasses became thicker, and his hair became thinner, showing signs of balding.

After all, even the most beautiful person can't withstand the rigors of life like digging graves in the desert.

Zhang Lin, in particular, who had been digging for two years without any results, looked much more weathered.

Having heard that the country had developed a new technology that might be helpful for the archaeological work at Gutongjing, Zhang Lin eagerly submitted an application report to his superiors.

They assumed that new technologies were usually prioritized for military applications and that their requests would not be approved by higher authorities.

Unexpectedly, his superiors not only approved his request but also sent two technicians over.

Although it was meant to be an experimental product, Zhang Lin didn't care.

It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat.

Regardless of whether the authorities are using them as experimental subjects, the best news is that the excavation of Gutongjing can proceed smoothly.

In any case, their current archaeological team's work has reached a bottleneck. If the new technician can provide them with some inspiration, then the visit will not have been in vain.

Hearing that the technician would arrive at the camp today, Zhang Lin tidied himself up a bit, intending to leave a good first impression.

When they figured it was about time, they led the core members of the archaeological team out to wait.

It wasn't that Zhang Lin was a sycophant, but rather out of respect for the arrangements made by his superiors.

Besides, the technicians were sent down from above to help. Whether they can actually help the archaeological team is another matter, but at least they should show that they value what they've learned from their superiors.

Zhang Lin had prepared himself mentally based on his preconceived notions of what a technician should be, but he was still taken aback by the scene before him.

Good heavens!

He was just a technician, yet the higher-ups actually dispatched a lieutenant colonel with about a hundred men to escort him.

Zhang Lin was secretly amazed. Seeing Lieutenant Colonel Zhong Ting's sharp, hawk-like eyes, he was startled and quickly took out his ID to greet him. He very consciously took out his ID to greet him.

"Hello, I am Zhang Lin, the leader of the archaeological team."

After carefully inspecting the truck and confirming that there were no problems, Zhong Ting made a gesture towards one of the trucks behind him.

The car door opened, and two young men stepped out; they didn't look very old.

It seems this is the technician sent from above.

Zhang Lin greeted them with a smile, showing no disrespect for their age, and instead warmly said, "You two have had a long journey..."

……

Watching Zhang Lin and the two young men exchanging pleasantries, and seeing that the supervisor didn't seem inclined to reprimand them, Wu Xie and the others couldn't contain themselves any longer and began gossiping in hushed tones.

Life at the camp was dull and monotonous, with nothing but tomb raiding every day. Now that we can see some excitement, it's quite interesting.

"Wow! This is the new technician? He's way too young! Is he even twenty?" The fat man clicked his tongue twice and said to Wu Xie beside him.

Wu Xie frowned slightly, his gaze falling on the two technicians who were under the close protection of soldiers not far away. He vaguely felt that one of them looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea.

The fact that these two people were escorted by so many people clearly indicates that they are highly valued high-end technical talents by the country, and perhaps even carefully cultivated by the country from childhood. How could he possibly know them?

Wu Xie said, "He's quite young, but judging from his appearance, he probably has some real skills."

Xie Yuchen nodded in deep agreement: "Judging from the current setup, it's clear that these two are highly valued by their superiors. I just don't know if it's their outstanding abilities or their powerful family backgrounds that make them stand out."

The group chatted animatedly, gossiping away, while Zhang Lin across from them patiently explained the camp's situation to the two new technicians.

When the location of Wu Xie and the others was introduced, one of the technicians smiled slightly, turned his head and whispered a few words to Zhang Lin, and then walked straight towards Wu Xie and the others.

His movement caused quite a stir, and another technician naturally followed suit.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Lin, Zhong Ting, and most of the armed soldiers followed in a large procession.

Wu Xie's heart skipped a beat, and a strange feeling spread wildly through his heart. His body stood up uncontrollably.

Xie Yuchen, Fatty, Zhang Qiling, and Wu Sansheng, Xie Lianhuan, Hei Xiazi, Zhang Rishan, and others on the other side, seeing this large and strange formation, all felt that something was wrong. They all stood up and looked at the leading technician with wary eyes.

The young technician was dressed in a simple windbreaker, with a polite and gentle smile on his face. He exuded a refined and cultured air, seemingly unaware that a large group of heavily armed soldiers were following behind him.

He strode confidently toward Wu Xie with his long, powerful legs, each step seemingly touching Wu Xie's heartstrings.

As he approached, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out, not pungent at all, but rather refreshing and invigorating. This made Wu Xie's tense nerves relax slightly, but the sudden closeness made him even more nervous.

He stopped in front of Wu Xie, looked at the somewhat wary Wu Xie, and smiled slightly: "Wu Xie, I've finally met you."

Wu Xie was a little confused by this, and asked in confusion, "Do I know you?"

Upon hearing Wu Xie's words, the man raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly in surprise: How could you not recognize me?

It was as if Wu Xie knew him as a matter of course.

However, he wasn't angry at Wu Xie's confusion. Instead, he smiled nonchalantly and politely extended a hand: "Well then, let's get to know each other now. Hello..."

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Seeing his politeness, Wu Xie suppressed his unease, shook his hand, and was about to reply with a "hello".

However, just as the words were about to come out, she heard the young man opposite her say with a smile, "...My name is Li Cu."

boom--

Wu Xie's eyes widened instantly, his mind blank as if struck by lightning.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, all sounds disappeared, leaving only that one sentence echoing in his ears.

Hello, my name is Li Cu.

Li-cu-

The person in front of me said his name was Li Cu!

Li Chu, who was dragged into the Sand Sea Project by him for no reason, was seriously injured to the point of near death by the crazed Huang Yan, and after waking up, he directly called the police, and was the one who single-handedly brought about the destruction of the Nine Gates and the Wang family.

Wu Xie stood there, stunned, his feet seemingly nailed to the ground, his ears ringing. He watched as Li Cu's mouth opened and closed, as if he was saying something, but he couldn't hear a single word.
