Chapter 1255: Misunderstanding

The camp gradually shifted from quiet to noisy as everyone woke up. They diligently took down the tents, brushed their teeth, and relieved themselves. Each person’s expression was one of fatigue.

Xiao Tianyu had always had a good impression of He He. However, this morning, she walked past him without saying a word and had very sloppy hair. She’d gone from a very pretty girl to a somewhat untidy one. She did not look like the same person. If he’d met her on the street, he certainly wouldn’t have recognized her.

Therefore, his interest in her was slowly waning.

They walked away from Xiao Tianyu and did what they had to do. Most people didn’t care about him standing where he was. Occasionally, some people wondered why he was standing in front of Zhang Zian’s tent as if he wanted to open the zipper but did not dare.

People naturally thought of Zhang Zian’s punishment for him—maybe he was going to protest to Zhang Zian or simply fight. However, he did not look like he was asking for forgiveness. Rather, it looked like he’d just eaten a living fly.

If he was coming to fight, everyone would probably stop him. However, since he appeared to be in a daze, everyone was too lazy to take further notice of him.

“You got me mad now.”

There was another indiscernible male voice in the tent.

What was this? Was the person angry because he had been disturbing them at the door of the tent for a long time?

Xiao Tianyu started glancing around, trying to see which man was missing from the team. Which man had gone into Zhang Zian’s tent last night? But there were too many men on the team, and it was chaotic in the morning. He could not be sure even after so long.

Two men in the tent… What could they do?

What could they do? What? Oh no. He shuddered. Might they both be doing something intimate?

So… So Zhang Zian was actually this type of guy! Scary!

Once again, he was glad that he’d gotten up half an hour earlier. If he’d gotten up normally and pass motion with Zhang Zian, it would be hard not to think that he was eyeing his big white butt…

“Who’s strong now?”

The person in the tent seemed to be able to read his thoughts and asked the question in a timely manner.

Xiao Tianyu had to admit defeat. He’d rather not continue to drink filtered water with a strange smell, but he no longer wanted to have anything to do with Zhang Zian.

He should no longer stay where he was!

Perhaps the others already knew about Zhang Zian’s sexual orientation, and, seeing him standing here, they might think that he was also…

That would be terrible. If this spread, he may not find a girlfriend. Xiao Tianyu decided to leave and maintain a safe distance from Zhang Zian in the future!

He was just turning around when the voice in the tent said, “Slave, get your *ss back here!”

What? They still weren’t letting him go? They wanted him to stay? In addition, how had he become a slave?

Xiao Tianyu absolutely did not dare to stay and ran away.

Another sentence came from the tent. “Give up? Give up? No! No! Give up or I’ll take you apart!”

“I give up! I give up!” Xiao Tianyu screamed and fled. He trembled in his tent.

What was going on?

Last night, Zhang Zian had worked a full night shift. In addition, they had worked late as a team the previous night. He was very sleepy this morning and really didn’t want to get up. However, Richard kept screaming in his ear and always spoke some incongruent English. He was so noisy that Zhang Zian could not fall asleep again.

He took a towel and aimed it at Richard. He put his head under the towel. The sudden darkness made him react to his own night blindness, and he couldn’t care less about making weird sounds anymore.

However, just as it spoke the last line, there was the sudden thud of heavy footsteps outside the tent and the same inexplicable sound.

Zhang Zian put on his clothes, opened the tent zipper, and looked outside. Everyone was busy. No one was at the door of the tent except for a few messy footprints.

Strange. Was someone eavesdropping outside the tent? Morning time was precious. Who could have that free time to just stand there?

It might have been a coincidence or a misunderstanding.

Zhang Zian did not dig deeper. He returned to his tent. He poured water from the bottle for Famous and Fina and drank what was left.

Yesterday had been exceptionally thrilling. Professor Wei Kang’s off-road vehicle might no longer be able to drive, and they didn’t know if it could be repaired. This was bad news, but in a way it was also good. Observing the reported statistics of fuel consumption, it showed a welcome decline for the first time.

The reason was that everyone’s desert driving had improved, and they had better control of their cars. Second, with the continuous consumption of drinking water and materials, the load on each vehicle was reduced, and fuel consumption would naturally also be reduced…

Famous and Fina also woke up. They had heard the movement outside the tent, but they were too lazy to check what it was.

“Who was outside?” he asked.

Fina was too lazy to open her eyes. She licked the water in her special basin and said, “An idiot.”

Famous also agreed.

Seeing them like this, he knew nothing serious was going on. He poured out a half cup of water, took some toothpaste and his toothbrush, and went out to brush his teeth.

Wei Kang passed by his tent and looked backwards while walking. He muttered to himself, “What happened to Xiao Tianyu? He seems to have lost his soul so early in the morning…”

“Professor Wei Kang, how did you sleep yesterday?” Zhang Zian’s mouth was full of toothpaste foam, but he greeted him nonetheless. “Where are you going?”

Wei Kang was dressed neatly and turned to the other side. He did not seem to be going to the latrine.

“Oh, it’s okay. I went to see if my car could still be started and tried to fix it, but I am not good at repairing cars…” Wei Kang stopped.

“You should take a break. The others should be able to repair it for you.” Zhang Zian spat out the bubbles in his mouth and gestured to Peter Lee and his team. “Ask them to help. You don’t need to be polite.”

Wei Kang’s face did not look very good. He may not have slept well last night, because Wei Kang was generally more responsible, and he was likely regretful towards his own negligence.

Wei Kang nodded and sighed. “Okay. You are right. Oh yes, after you are done washing up, take your drone to the other side.”

He pointed to the off-road vehicle that was trapped in the quicksand.

The process of Salem climbing the ladder was very exciting to watch. However, if it was not necessary, it was not worth the same danger again. After all, life was precious.

They’d had a quick discussion over dinner last night. They felt that it would be difficult to safely approach the off-road vehicle in the usual way. Even if there were other methods, they would likely prove too time-consuming. It would be better to use a drone to probe.

Drones didn’t have to be afraid of quicksand as long as they maintained a proper, safe distance. If they did not fly too low, it was quite safe.

But drones also had some limitations. It was difficult to probe the interior of the vehicle, but it did a better job than the telescope.

“Good,” Zhang Zian promised immediately. Manipulating the drone was his job, and he would do what he needed to.
