The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 30 Departure
Tan Ren narrowed his eyes and said, "Pay a tenth of the deposit first."

Wang Zehai was taken aback for a moment, he probably didn't expect Tan Ren to be so forthright, just like Gu Xin's mother, he asked suspiciously: "Can you really find it?"

Tan Ren said: "As long as his body is still there. Of course, if his bones are gnawed, there is nothing we can do. If this happens, we will only charge a deposit. This service is very humane, right?"

Wang Zehai was taken aback by what was said, and nodded accordingly.

My head is still full of 300 million at the moment, don’t think I’m worthless, I’m just an ordinary person, in the case of not winning the big prize, 300 million is very tempting for ordinary people like us of.

Before, I was worried that the firm would be unable to make ends meet, but now it seems that I was thinking too much?
Zhou Xuanye and Tang Linlin took over the jobs, and they went there for more than ten or twenty days. I really didn't know how much each job cost.It’s been almost three months since I’ve been here, and the only serious order I’ve accepted was that of Gu Xin’s mother, and I only earned around 20 yuan, so subconsciously, I lowered the price of the job.

But now when I heard Wang Zehai's quotation, I suddenly realized that my previous estimation was completely wrong.

I haven't forgotten that Wang Zehai said before that he had inquired about this offer in advance.In other words, even if the price is high, it has been referenced by the market.

I looked at Tan Ren. At this moment, in my eyes, he is not a person, but a pile of human-shaped RMB.

After more than an hour, the two agreed on the departure time and manpower before Wang Zehai left.The departure time is four days later, and I will fly to XJ. Of course, all expenses are covered by Wang Zehai.Then buy the outfits for entering the desert locally, how to take the rest of the route, and where the corpse is is our job.

Tan Ren bluntly said that this matter cannot be handled by one person, and there are three people on his side.

These three people are Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren. I thought the third place would be Tang Linlin, but I didn't expect the third place to be me.I was quite surprised, after all, I am a layman in this regard.However, soon I knew why they made this decision, because after Tang Linlin heard about it, she directly said: "The sandstorm in the desert is too strong, it is not good for the skin, and I will never accept work in the desert and plateau."

It seems that Tan Ren and the others are very familiar with Tang Linlin's personality, and they knew that she would not take this job, so they recruited me to make up the numbers.

Then again, what can I do?
When I thought about it, I asked directly. Tan Yan looked like an idiot, and said coldly: "Do you know how expensive it is to travel in the desert at your own expense now? Why don't you go for free? You can save the travel expenses for employees this year." down"

"..." I realized that I was so naive.So, the reason why I was asked to go this time was not to help, but to organize staff travel?Boss, you will live for 300 million. As for saving this money?I discovered his new features again, he is not only a clean freak, but also stingy.

But when he said this, I was actually quite moved. My circle of activities is very small. I was in an orphanage before, and food and drink were allocated according to the amount, let alone travel.It will be very difficult to support myself in the future. I am busy all day long and have no chance to go out for a walk. I am really looking forward to it now.

Four days later, we each packed a small bag and met at Shenzhen Airport.There were a total of six people in this operation. Besides the three on our side, Wang Zehai himself also went out, probably because he was afraid that we would fool him and find a random corpse to make up the number, so this time he has to supervise the whole process.

Looking at his fat figure, I wondered if he could survive going to the desert like this.Although I haven't been there myself, I haven't eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run?It has been introduced on TV and in books that the desert environment is too much for people with poor physical strength, let alone a chubby businessman like Wang Zehai who lacks exercise.

Besides Wang Zehai, there are two other people in the team.

A man and a woman, the man is short and thin, named Han Xu, very young, like a student who has just left school, wearing a white T-shirt, looking very shy.The woman next to him was tall and tall, with a ponytail and a haughty look on her face. Han Xu always called her sister, so she didn't look too easy to provoke.

The two groups of us met at the airport, and after we got to know each other, I realized that this woman really has a lot of background. Her name is Han Zitong, and she is an expert in geology. Her parents and Wang Zehai's parents are friends, so This time we are here to help. It will be very helpful for us to have an expert in geology in the team.

To be honest, geological surveys are a very hard job, and we often have to travel to some sparsely populated places, so most of the professional geologists are men, and female geologists are really rare. No wonder this woman looks so arrogant.

But soon, I found out that I was wrong,

When we were introducing each other, she shook hands with us one by one. Although her face was expressionless and indifferent, she spoke very decently: "It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope we have a happy cooperation." Her voice was completely opposite to her appearance, It sounds very gentle and polite. If you close your eyes and listen to the tone of the voice, you will definitely feel that there is a gentle and moving woman standing in front of you.

But now, the two completely different characteristics of indifference and gentleness are brought together in one person, so there is a strong sense of disobedience.I was a little surprised, but it's not easy to look at the girl, so I didn't say much.

The man named Han Xu was obviously going out for the first time, and he seemed extremely excited. In fact, I was also very excited. To be honest, it was the first time for me to fly, but I had been in society for a few years, so I didn’t act like Han Xu. Xu is so cowardly.

Not long after this kid got excited, he found himself airsick, and tugged at Han Zitong's cuff weakly: "Sister, I want to vomit, can you open the window..."

I was drinking water, heard that I almost spit out the water from my mouth, open the window of the plane?
I've seen idiots, but I've never seen such idiots.

Han Zitong is still expressionless, I think she is very weird, even if a person doesn't like to laugh, she still has other expressions, but from the time she got on the plane until now, she has almost always kept a blank face, like a doll .

But Han Zitong was very patient with this younger brother. For Han Xu's unreliable request, she actually patiently explained to him the reason why the plane cannot open the windows, from air pressure to balance and noise, let us With admiration, even Zhou Xuanye couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

After more than six hours, we stood on the vast land of XJ.

To be precise, we are now in WLMQ, which is our first transit point. If we want to enter Gurbantunggut, we have to take a few hours of driving. We got off the plane, and I didn’t wait for me to see WLMQ clearly. No matter what he looked like, he got into the car again and left the city all the way to the national highway. The temperature was very sweltering.

This place is different from the desert I imagined. As far as the eye can see, the grasslands, lakes, orchards, and patches of Populus euphratica forest look lush and green.

Han Xu exclaimed: "Wow, I thought the desert was full of sand." I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that there seems to be something wrong with Han Xu. It makes me feel like a little kid.

Han Zitong really took care of this younger brother, and explained after hearing the words: "This is not considered a desert, but it is just on the edge of desertification. It is still a gathering place for human beings, with lush water and grass. However, if desertification continues, it may be decades, or hundreds of years. In a few years, this place will become a pure desert."

Han Xu nodded his head half-understood, yawned, and fell asleep on Han Zitong's shoulder with his head tilted.In order to make him sleep more comfortably, Han Zitong turned her body slightly. When she turned this sideways, the neckline was opened, and I suddenly found that there was a very hideous scar on her neck wrapped under the collar.

As if feeling my gaze, Han Zitong suddenly glanced at me, then tightened his collar, and continued to look forward with that puppet-like expression, and after a while, closed his eyes to rest.Wang Zehai at the side suddenly tugged at my sleeve, and winked, signaling me not to stare at him.

As soon as he reminded me, I realized that I was a little rude, and I felt embarrassed immediately, so I quickly looked away.

At this time, Wang Zehai whispered to me: "Her brother has a problem here." He pointed to his head, and it seemed that my guess was right.However, since we are going to the desert to search for corpses, what are we doing with such a problematic person?

Wang Zehai obviously knew what I was thinking, and continued to whisper: "She is very kind to my brother, and she takes her everywhere. Also, she was injured before, her facial nerves were paralyzed, and she couldn't express herself, but she is actually a very nice person .”

I suddenly realized, and suddenly remembered the large wound on her neck. It turned out that the other party was not arrogant, but facial paralysis?Facial nerve paralysis is not uncommon now, but most of them are caused by the paralysis of a certain muscle, leading to symptoms such as crooked mouth.

Although Han Zitong didn't have crooked eyes and mouth, he was pitiful enough.No wonder I felt that there was a sense of disobedience in her before, and it turned out to be because of this.

I began to sympathize with her. What happened to such a young and beautiful geologist?How could he suffer such a big injury.
