Chapter 1249 The Expedition Ended

“The Chinese couple stopped

and told

to slow down because I was the fastest. I was about to reach the limit of the umbilical cord. If I continued climbing for a while, they probably wouldn’t be able to keep the umbilical cord inserted into my body. “But how could I care about such things? There were more and more monsters down there. My mind was filled with how to get out of this damned place. After hearing their words, I even sped up.

“But then I heard the wife of the Chinese couple warn

that if I don’t slow down, all of us will die here. She said that the reason why the monsters down there didn’t attack them was very likely because of the baby behind . That child was now living on their blood. Once they died, that child would also die. If that child died, then the monsters would no longer have any scruples. At that ti, the Doctor and I wouldn’t be able to live.

“When I heard that, my body shook. Indeed, we’ve only climbed a short distance now. With the speed of those monsters, if the Chinese couple dies, then the doctor and I will definitely follow in their footsteps. It’s just a little earlier and a little later. So, although I wish I could grow wings and fly out of this place as soon as possible, I still had to slow down and let the Chinese couple follow behind .

“We climbed for a full 20 minutes before we reached the top of the stone pillar. During that ti, those monsters had been following behind us. However, just like what the Chinese couple said, they seed to be worried about the baby’s life and did not make a move against us. It was only when we climbed into the ice path that they did not catch up to us at the top of the stone pillar. They only looked at US coldly from below. There seed to be so unseen force restricting them, preventing them from leaving the city under the ice.

“However, we didn’t dare to let our guard down. Even though we were physically and ntally exhausted at the ti, we still used the last of our strength to rush up from the bottom.”

Sartrus finally finished telling the bizarre and bizarre adventure story, and the people in the room fell into silence.

However, the reason for everyone’s silence was different. Songjia thought that Zhang Heng would continue to tell her the questions she wanted to ask, but after waiting for a while, she realized that Zhang Heng hadn’t said anything. She turned her head away, she realized that Zhang Heng was lowering his head, deep in thought.

She hadn’t been in contact with Zhang Heng for too long, but his calm and collected style had left a deep impression on her, however, this ti, after listening to Sartrus’story, Zhang Heng was surprisingly absent-minded.

Therefore, song Jia turned around and asked herself, “How did you, uh… deal with the baby in the end?”

“As promised, I handed the baby over to Mr. Tam. He looked ecstatic as he held the baby up and looked around, mumbling sothing. Unfortunately, my English wasn’t good, so I didn’t understand the aning of the word. Later, I asked the doctor, and the Doctor suspected that there was sothing wrong with his own ears because he heard Mr. Tam say the word — container.”

“Container? What Container?”Song Jia raised her eyebrows.

“I don’t know. I was very scared at that ti, and I didn’t have ti to think too much about it. After I ca out of the city under the ice, I found that there were no teorologists and biologists on it. I asked Mr. Tam where they went, and Mr. Tam casually said that there was nothing to do here, so he told them to go back first. But I’m not a fool, so how could I believe such nonsense? Our exploration has reached the end, and they only need to wait for another half a day before they can go back with the main group. Moreover, they are only scientists, not professional explorers. How can they go back in such a snowy place?

“So it’s more likely that Mr. Tam and his n did sothing to them, and my hair stood on end at the thought of it. Mr. Tam obviously didn’t want what happened here to be known to anyone else. The doctor and I were able to follow the Chinese couple down and escape, but what are we going to do now?

“Mr. Tam seed to be thinking about how to deal with our problem after he was happy. His gaze followed the umbilical cord to the Chinese couple, and a strange expression appeared on his face. Then, he said, “Fate is always full of magical changes, isn’t it? Perhaps this result is not bad.

“However, he did not continue speaking after that. Instead, he looked at

and the Doctor and said that I have always been a person who keeps his promises. I promised that as long as you did what I asked you to do, I would give you a great reward. So, now, let’s talk about what you all want. Don’t worry. I’m like your magic lamp, giving you whatever you want.

“The Doctor said I don’t want anything but to get out of this hellhole, go ho, take a shower, and lie in bed doing nothing. Mr. Tam seed surprised and asked, are you sure, young man? Is that what you want? “Yes, that’s all I want,”the Doctor replied with certainty.

“Alright, if you insist.”Mr. Tam shrugged as he spoke. He then looked at . I wanted to say the sa, but the Doctor beat

to it. Honestly, considering the experiences we’ve had along the way, there’s nothing that could tempt

more than returning ho and having a good sleep on the bed. I only wanted to put the monsters and the city under the ice in my mind. However, looking at Mr. Tam’s regretful expression, I thought that this might really be an opportunity. Hence, I probed and asked if I could ask for two billion kroner.”

“You sure have a big appetite, “Mr. Tam said with a smile. Then he said, “I can give you two billion kroner, but you haven’t paid that much yet.”. I wasn’t too disappointed after I heard that. I was just making up this figure, so it was normal to be rejected. But then I heard Mr. Tam continue, “50 million. 50 million kroner is a fair price.”.

“After he said this, I noticed that the doctor’s face turned green. He looked extrely upset, as if he didn’t expect Mr. Tam to be so rich. He wanted to change his previous request, but Mr. Tam rejected it. He only had one chance. When Mr. Tam said this, I always felt that he was secretly happy, because he really liked the feeling of fooling others.

“With our example, I was curious about what the Chinese couple would want, but Mr. Tam didn’t seem to want others to hear his conversation with the Chinese couple, so he waved

and the doctor away. They chatted for half an hour on the other side, and finally, I saw Mr. Tam reach out and shake hands with the Chinese couple. As if in agreent, I reconnected with the captain by satellite phone, and half a month later we were back in Nuuk, ending the expedition once and for

all.”
