#501 - Chapter 501: No More Exploration
"Old Qin, there's no jade slip you mentioned here."
"I made that up, of course there isn't!" Old Qin rolled his eyes at him.
"Alright!" Dongfang Chen nodded again, helplessly.
"Where else do you want to look?" Old Qin asked.
"Nowhere." Dongfang Chen shook his head.
"Good, retrieve the probe," Old Qin said.
Dongfang Chen was stunned for a moment, then replied:
"Alright!"
"Don't try to joke with me, you must retrieve it!" Old Qin said very seriously.
"Okay!" Dongfang Chen responded emphatically.
Dongfang Chen issued instructions to Xiaolin.
"It's being withdrawn!" Dongfang Chen replied.
Immediately afterwards, the image of the imperial tomb on the screen disappeared.
"Retrieve the equipment outside as well!" Old Qin tilted his head and ordered.
"Okay!" Dongfang Chen replied, complying with him.
Then he opened the door and walked to the hall.
"Dai Zheng, retrieve the equipment!" Dongfang Chen shouted loudly.
"Yes!" Dai Zheng accepted the order and took several people out.
Soon, the dropped box was also pulled back.
"Fill the snow back in!" Old Qin made a new request.
"Okay!" Dongfang Chen continued to nod.
"Execute the order!" He turned his head and instructed Dai Zheng.
"Yes!" Dai Zheng accepted the order and left again.
Soon, the robots filled the surrounding snow into the pit.
"Alright, you can leave now!" Old Qin prepared to leave with the soldiers.
Dongfang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Remember, you are not allowed to explore here again!" Old Qin walked to the door of the warship and turned his head to remind him again.
"Okay!" Dongfang Chen continued to nod along with him.
Old Qin withdrew his gaze and returned to his own aircraft with his men.
They did not leave, they were preparing to see Dongfang Chen off.
"Let's go!" Dongfang Chen ordered.
Several warships gained altitude and quickly flew away.
Subsequently, Old Qin also left.
"Commander, have you found the results?" Dai Zheng asked.
"No!" Dongfang Chen shook his head, his brow furrowed.
"Who exactly is this Old Qin?" Dai Zheng continued to ask.
"Actually, I'm not sure either, I only know that he has a very big background. Even Speaker Baili Ji is polite to him." Dongfang Chen looked out the window and replied absentmindedly.
"No wonder." Dai Zheng nodded.
He didn't know what Dongfang Chen was here to investigate, and he didn't want to ask any more questions.
"But this Old Qin looks somewhat familiar to me, as if I've seen him somewhere before," Dai Zheng changed the subject.
"Really? When?" Dongfang Chen was still looking out the window.
"It was a long time ago, I should have still been serving in the Northwest Military Region at the time." Dai Zheng frowned, trying to recall, but he just couldn't remember.
"It's normal, such a big figure, sometimes it's inevitable that you will be required to perform security tasks," Dongfang Chen replied casually.
"I remember!" Dai Zheng suddenly shouted.
"What are you doing! Jumping out like that! You scared me!" Dongfang Chen turned his head and glanced at him sideways.
"I remembered where I saw this Old Qin," Dai Zheng's eyes lit up.
"Where?" Dongfang Chen glanced over and asked casually.
"At the Peacock River!" Dai Zheng replied.
"Mm-hmm!" Dongfang Chen nodded perfunctorily.
Disgusted by his look of never having seen the world.
"Ah, back then he didn't look so old, time really waits for no one!" Dai Zheng lamented.
"When are you talking about?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"More than ten years ago," Dai Zheng said sadly.
"What was Old Qin doing at that time?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"I'm not sure, at that time we received an order to rescue a group of archaeologists. Old Qin was one of them at the time," Dai Zheng shook his head and said.
"Archaeologists?" Dongfang Chen turned his face and looked at him questioningly.
Soon he turned his head back and continued to look out the window.
Old Qin was definitely not an archaeologist.
An ordinary expert could not have his current status and background.
Dongfang Chen was very certain that he must have come from the military system.
"Speaking of which, it was quite strange, they were all covered in injuries at the time, and seemed to have suffered a particularly great shock. Several people were constantly shivering, and later they all seemed to have gone crazy," Dai Zheng recalled.
Dongfang Chen nodded, not interjecting.
These were all things of the past.
He had no interest in exploring matters that were unrelated to him.
His thoughts were always on the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.
Old Qin's attitude today was really abnormal.
Clearly it looked like a very ordinary mausoleum, so why would he resolutely stop him?
And he had to see him off before leaving.
Why exactly?
The Bee Queen had not actually been retrieved and was still in the imperial tomb, only work had been suspended.
Dongfang Chen was hesitating whether to restart the investigation.
He had several questions that had not been answered.
First: The passage was not long enough. According to the results of the exploration, the total length of the winding passage was only about 2000 meters, which also included the outer chamber. This was far from his estimated at least 30 kilometers of passage. Such a short passage could not hold 700,000 people at all.
