Chapter 361 What is professionalism?
Johnny immediately came to Weiland, took out a rope less than two meters long, and hung it on himself and Weiland.
Weiland looked at Luke helplessly.
He knew Luke did this for his safety.
So I didn't object. Having a strong man like Johnny around me made me feel safe.
But when Johnny turned around, he saw Luke holding Lena, and the two of them were connected by a short rope.
No... Boss, I'm an old man, and you're with a beautiful woman...
Forget it, for the sake of the reward, I'll endure it...
Luke actually understood Johnny's look and raised an eyebrow.
Your boss is your boss, work hard...
Fortunately, the inclination angle of this passage was not too large, and everyone reached the underground smoothly.
After the expedition members brought in the lighting equipment, which was of great help, everyone saw the full picture of the pyramid.
The archaeologists on the expedition team exclaimed in amazement.
"This is a fusion of the Egyptian pyramids, Cambodian pyramids and Mayan pyramids... My God, this is a building that has never been discovered by humans."
Just when everyone was sighing, Luke came to Weiland.
"Congratulations, Mr. Weiland, you have discovered a great relic."
Faced with the compliment, Weiland naturally smiled refreshed.
In fact, Luke said this against his will.
Can this thing be released to the public? Impossible.
There is no sovereignty in Antarctica, so you can put a big one, like Japan, Colombia, Myanmar...
Large amounts of lighting equipment and other supplies were brought in from the ground by ropes.
After Weiland recovered a little, he prepared to enter the pyramid.
But Luke came out again to stop him.
"Mr. Weiland, now that the pyramid has been discovered, there is no need to rush."
“Archaeology is a professional job that requires patience and meticulousness.”
"This is Antarctica, and whoever built it could be dangerous for us."
"So I won't let you in unless the danger is eliminated."
Wieland sighed.
"I'm afraid my body won't last long enough."
But Luke smiled at him.
"You'll see it while I'm here, I promise."
Wayland thought Luke was trying to comfort him and shook his head.
But he didn't insist and continued to rest.
Maybe I'm exhausted and in bad shape.
But others are still working.
Set up camp, install equipment, take photos, etc.
The security team also surrounded the expedition team and began to conduct investigations outside the pyramid.
But they did not enter the pyramid.
Everyone was keeping a tacit agreement to wait for Mr. Weiland to enter the pyramid first.
This is due respect to Mr. Wieland for funding our expedition and making important discoveries.
Luke feels that foreigners always have some strange etiquette in some weird places.
This is good, since Weiland is not in good health anyway, and Luke is always ready to give him an injection.
He also gave Johnny a spare injection, just in case.
The exploration work proceeded quickly.
After resting for a few hours, Weiland also set off.
Luke, Johnny, and Lena followed closely beside him.
After entering the pyramid, the archaeologists explained the text on the wall to everyone.
There are many languages collected here, and he only has a vague understanding of them.
Continuing to walk inside, Luke discovered that there were various mechanisms under the stone bricks under his feet.
Further down...oh shit, there's a big bug here?
Before entering the hall, Luke hurriedly stopped everyone.
"Ancient pyramids were mainly used for sacrifice and burial. This one is obviously used for sacrifice."
"Whether it's a cemetery or a tomb, there are always a lot of traps and mechanisms. We'd better confirm that it's safe."
Weiland said nothing, but others objected.
Johnny knew that his boss would not make trouble for no reason, and Lena came from a big family, so she would naturally not question her own people in public.
The experts of the expedition team had no objection. After all, they paid more attention to safety when it came to unknown ruins.
Only the security team asked Luke.
"Hey, doctor, are you more professional than the archaeologist in the team?"
Luke answered him with a serious look on his face.
"I once worked with an outstanding archaeologist for a long time." (The ruins destroyer who collapses wherever he goes, the female killer, Laura...)
"Although the technology in these ancient relics was not advanced, the ancients also had their own wisdom."
"Do you know why this pyramid has a heat source reaction? Because there is a volcano underground, which can serve as the power source for all the traps in the entire pyramid."
Then Luke found some floorboards and tapped on them with his ice pick.
"Did you hear that? It's hollow, which means there's space underneath."
Apart from anything else, Luke's actions really scared everyone.
Johnny also echoed.
"See? What is professionalism? This is what professionalism is..."
Weiland is also a little hesitant now.
Luke looked so serious, as if it were real.
Therefore, the task of exploring the route can only be left to security personnel and archaeologists.
After they entered the hall, there was a circular area with several stone platforms.
There is a mummy on each stone platform.
Archaeologists have basically confirmed that this is the sacrificial area of the pyramid.
After the security personnel confirmed that it was safe, Weiland couldn't wait any longer.
He brought other people into the sacrificial room.
Luke first looked underneath the place.
Wow, there are so many tricks...
But it is not a defensive mechanism.
After making sure it was not activated, Luke heard Lena's cry.
"Luke, come and take a look, there's something unusual about these bodies."
Before Luke arrived, the archaeologist explained it to everyone again.
"This is an ancient form of their sacrifice, human sacrifice, and those sacrifices seem to be voluntary."
Luke examined the mummies with a serious expression.
"These people died because something broke out of their bodies."
"This thing comes out of their bodies, not only gnawing at their internal organs, but also breaking their ribs in the chest, which is extremely painful."
Then Lena found the body of a bug with many claws and a very long tail.
"Is it this thing?" Lena pointed at the corpse of the insect.
When Luke saw this thing, he finally remembered.
Damn... Isn't this an alien larva, a facehugger...
It turns out that the big bug under the ground is the alien mother...
It is now impossible to stop Wilander in this situation.
These people are the kind who won't cry until they see the coffin.
Faced with this huge discovery, they dared to take a look even though there were dangers inside.
But Luke still suggested that Weyland leave here temporarily.
Weiland waved his hand.
"No need to say more. I didn't hire these people for show. If there's any danger, I'll go and take a look."
Luke sighed. He knew this would be the result.
Then he gave Johnny a look, and Johnny took out the prepared gun, turned on the safety, and loaded the bullet.
Luke also took out his own gun and hung it on his waist, and took out the lever rifle (Sierra Jon) from the gun bag and placed it on the side of the backpack.
He also gave Lena an ordinary QH917 pistol and two magazines.
Lena didn't reject Luke.
He silently put away the gun and magazine.
Upon seeing this, the security personnel also took out their weapons from their bags.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
