Chapter 1830: Intensification of Contradiction
Uncle Will is not a person who loves archaeology. He just regards archaeology as a profession, a legitimate profession.
For a black man with a low education, although the profession of archaeology poses certain risks, it also provides a certain salary guarantee. The most important thing is that this profession is legitimate.
This is why Uncle Will chose archaeology. Bai Chen can quite understand Uncle Will's ideas.
However, perhaps because of the growing environment since childhood, Uncle Will seems a little sensitive. He always subconsciously feels that the other party is discriminating against his skin color when he is inadvertent offense.
After the sun set, two off-road vehicles arrived at the reserved location, on a rocky beach.
At this time, the cold wind in the desert began to spread, and everyone skillfully made fires, and then began to camp and prepare food.
Even the older Eddie has to be responsible for some easier tasks, such as raising a fire, and preventing the fire from being extinguished by the cold wind.
"Hey, the Orientals, what about you." Ken walked to Bai Chen who was sitting in front of the fire: "Since you have entered our team, you must follow the rules of our team. Our team will not keep idle people."
"Then what do you think I should do?" Bai Chen looked at Ken with a smile.
Ken narrowed his eyes. He didn't like Bai Chen. Just as Bai Chen didn't like him at the first sight of Ken, both of them could clearly feel the other's attitude.
"There are many poisonous snakes around here, I want you to clear the nearby poisonous snakes."
"Ken..." Eddie couldn't help frowning when she heard the task assigned to Bai Chen. After all, Bai Chen was sent to the team by Prince Abu. Although Prince Abu said that Bai Chen would not drag down their archaeological team, Eddie still felt that it was necessary to take care of Bai Chen a little.
It is a very dangerous task to let Bai Chen clear the poisonous snakes in the desert.
"Teacher, I think this is a test for him. If he wants to stay in this team, he must prove his value in existence, otherwise it is better to let him leave quickly."
"Are the poisonous snakes?" Bai Chen pulled out several poisonous snakes from behind: "It seems that you are a very experienced explorer. Our ideas coincide, but you seem to be too late. I have already dealt with all the poisonous snakes nearby."
"Yo! White..." Uncle Will looked at these poisonous snakes and immediately came forward, holding the wooden stick and put them all in strings: "We have oral treatment tonight, these rattlesnakes and sand vipers are good things."
Action in the desert, because of the restrictions on movement, they cannot carry too much tribute. Water and food are the most important things in desert survival.
Moreover, when traveling far away, you must find out the water source points. As for food, in addition to some of the dry food they carry, many of them need to be used locally.
Everyone in the archaeological team refused to eat snakes, and even Sera, who looked delicate, was already used to it.
"Are you sure the poisonous snakes around here have been cleaned up?" Ken asked aggressively.
"If you don't believe it, you can check it out again. Anyway, you have already set up the tent." Bai Chen shrugged.
"What if I catch another poisonous snake?"
"If you can catch another poisonous snake nearby, then in the next few days, I will leave it to me to take charge of your tent."
"This is what you said." Ken sneered, and he was waiting for Bai Chen's words.
In fact, Bai Chen caught a few poisonous snakes, which reduced the risk of being bitten by poisonous snakes at night. No one can guarantee the absolute safety of camping in the desert.
Ken naturally felt that Bai Chen was just dealing with the matter, and even if there were no poisonous snakes nearby, he could still catch a snake a little further away.
To put it bluntly, I just want to punish Bai Chen, but I just don’t feel happy about Bai Chen.
As soon as Ken left, Uncle Will took the roasted snake meat out of the fire: "Old Eddie, Sera, Lilia, our dinner is ready."
Sera looked at Ken's figure in the darkness in the distance and said hesitantly: "Don't you wait for Ken?"
"I think he should have gained a lot later. There is no shortage of these snakes. It's enough for us to fill our stomachs."
Eddie glanced at Will, then looked at Bai Chen: "Then let's have dinner, and go to rest after eating."
Harvest? How can there be a harvest?
Uncle Will knew very well that whether it was a mercenary or a killer, there were some special potions that could drive away snakes and insects.
There were probably no trace of snakes and insects nearby. Uncle Will guessed this result when he saw Bai Chen and Ken fighting in anger.
So he followed the situation and cooperated with Bai Chen, who would dislike him even if he saw it.
After more than half an hour, Ken returned in a dirt-stricken manner, with empty hands, and everyone had already returned to their respective tents, leaving only half of the compressed biscuits in front of the fire.
At this time, Ken was full of anger. He had been wandering around this for a long time and had not encountered a snake, not even a non-toxic sand snake, as if it had become extinct.
At this time, the wind blew again in the desert, and he didn't dare to go further, so he could only turn back helplessly.
As a result, the people from the archaeological team didn't wait for him to have dinner together. They had already eaten and drank, and then went to rest.
Of course, Ken's mood would not be much better, so he looked at Bai Chen's tent.
Suddenly, Ken heard the laughter of Lilia and Sera from Bai Chen's tent.
Ken's anger erupted in an instant, and he immediately rushed to Bai Chen's tent and opened the curtain.
"The monkey of the East!"
"Keep, you're so rude." Lilia frowned, and Sera also showed displeasure.
"You are a newcomer, you can watch tonight!!" Ken saw the two women present, so he could only suppress his anger and said coldly to Bai Chen.
"I refuse." Bai Chen glanced at Ken, and his eyes fell back to the two women: "Let's continue with the topic just now, where did I talk about it?"
"Bai, you talk about you wandering on the sea and encountering the overlord great white shark in the ocean."
"Yes... Then I fought with the great white shark. You should all understand that fighting with the great white shark at sea is simply seeking death, and my only foothold is the dilapidated raft, which can be crushed in the waves at any time."
"Then did you win?" Sera asked nervously.
"Monkey, I'm ordering you, don't you understand what I said?" Ken finally couldn't help but pour out his anger.
"What qualifications do you have to order me?" Bai Chen looked at Ken.
"I am the deputy captain of the archaeological team, and you are just a newcomer. Also, don't deceive people with false stories. Lilia and Sera are not so easy to be deceived."
"Did you forget our previous bet? It seems that you lost, so you should be more conscious and you will be responsible for the vigil every night in the future."
"You didn't say that at that time, so I had no reason to accept this rude request. Instead, it was you. If you reject my order, then you get out of the archaeological team, now! Immediately! Immediately!"
"Ken!" At this time, Uncle Will and Eddie both heard the quarrel and came over.
"Keep, I think you should have a little contract spirit and be willing to accept defeat. Don't you understand such a simple truth?" Uncle Will was naturally standing on Bai Chen's side.
"Nigga, shut up! It's not your turn to interrupt here."
"Keep, you're too much, I want you to apologize to Will immediately!"
At this time, even Eddie couldn't stand it anymore and immediately shouted angrily.
Ken also woke up instantly. No matter how unhappy Will was, he was more experienced than himself.
Moreover, my own words are no longer just targeting Bai Chen, but have already involved personal attacks and even discrimination against skin color.
In the archaeological world, we have always paid great attention to personal cultivation. A person's cultivation level also determines his achievements and future in the archaeological world.
Ken's words may even make him lose his qualifications for archaeology.
"Uh... Will, I have no malice... I am very sorry for my loss of composure just now."
Ken is very clear about the situation. If he cannot bow his head and admit his mistake, he will be isolated and lose his position in the archaeological team.
Before driving Bai Chen away, he felt that there was no need to make too many enemies.
Will's face was very unhappy, he snorted coldly, and without saying a word, he turned back to his tent.
If Will could beat Ken at this time, it would ease the embarrassment on the scene, but Will did nothing, which would force Eddie to express his position.
"Ken, from now on, every night in the future you have to be vigil for half a night and rotate with others."
Ken dared not object to Eddie's handling, and his head lowered and his eyes were full of anger.
"It seems that I'm fine. Let's continue the story just now." Bai Chen said with a smile.
Ken's eyes at Bai Chen had changed from the initial rejection to hatred, and in his flashing eyes, he seemed to be planning something.
When Bai Chen put down the curtain, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Ken happened to see it. Ken immediately felt that this was Bai Chen's provocation to him.
The burning fire in the middle of the camp was like burning in Ken's heart.
Anger and hatred spread uncontrollably in my heart. As the night gradually passed, Ken sat in front of the fire all the time, looking at Bai Chen's tent, and then at the other tents, all of which were turned off.
Ken picked up a torch from the fire, slowly walked to Bai Chen's tent, swung it casually, and threw it on Bai Chen's tent.
The fire in the tent spread very quickly, but it was burned in just one or two minutes, but Ken found that Bai Chen was not in the tent.
He had originally waited for Bai Chen to burn to death before extinguishing the flames for him, but now he found that Bai Chen was not there, which immediately made his mood fall into the bottom.
At this moment, Bai Chen came out of Lilia's tent and exclaimed: "Keep! You burned my tent!? Do you want to murder me?" (~^~)
