Chapter 350 Twenty Years Ago
"That happened more than 20 years ago. At that time, I had just graduated from college for a few years. It was a time when I was young and energetic. In addition, my family was rich and had no worries about food and clothing. I didn't want to start working too early and live a kind of perseverance life. Instead, I wanted to take some adventures and explore some secrets. I did. During those years, I went to adventures around the world and took photos and wrote articles. Because I was handsome at that time, the photos I took were also good-looking, and the articles I wrote were a bit literary, so I became popular. Later, I joined a private adventure club.
The owner of this club is a mysterious rich man. He will hold adventures regularly. Most of the explorers in the club are rich. However, it is better to say that they are having fun than adventures. The places they go to are famous but have no secrets. The scenery is good, but there is no sense of adventure at all.
I stayed in it for a while and didn't want to stay anymore. However, at this moment, the mysterious rich man launched a new expedition. In the depths of the jungle of South America, there is a place called Acantra Crypt, which is rare and contains many secrets. The mysterious rich man invited us to explore the crypt. According to what he wrote in the invitation letter, there is a mysterious remains in this crypt, which is very worth exploring, but because the area is too sinister, everyone who signs up must sign a life and death certificate.
However, his invitation discouraged most people. After all, most of the people in that club were amateurs. Taking photos is one thing to travel in the scenic mountains, rivers and valleys, but looking for mysterious ancient ruins in the dangerous jungles of South America is another thing.
However, there were still some people willing to accept the challenge. In the end, three people accepted the invitation, a female explorer named Louisa and an American real estate tycoon. Because it took too long to remember his name. For the sake of convenience, let's call him Aqiang. In the end, of course it was me. At that time, I was young and energetic and loved adventure. I must not miss the legendary mysterious ancient ruins, so I happily accepted the invitation.
On a sunny morning, the three of us arrived at the departure point and waited for the arrival of the mysterious rich man..."
Shang Chongyun's voice gradually became low, and his eyes also showed a look of memories.
More than 20 years ago
Shang Chongyun pushed open the door of the club's bus and walked up. In the huge travel bus, there were only him and three other people, one of whom was a driver. He knew both of them sitting in the back seat of the car. One was named Louisa, a beautiful explorer, who was said to be the heir of a consortium family. However, Shang Chongyun didn't believe it very much, because Louisa usually acted very professionally. In the entire club, he thought he was one of the few people who were probably as professional as him, and he did not have the luxurious behavior style of the rich children at all.
The other one was unable to call him the other one, and he looked a little nervous, and seemed not to come to participate in adventures often.
"Hey, Louisa, A Qiang, you two came very early." Shang Chongyun said, putting his travel backpack and then finding a seat to sit down.
The door was closed, the driver checked the number of people, and then drove away.
"Wait a minute, isn't there another person?" Shang Chongyun said, looking at Louisa and Aqiang with an inquiring gaze. He lowered his voice, "Didn't it say 'that person' is coming too?" In fact, he has always been curious about who the founder of this mysterious club is.
"It is said that he will meet with us at the airport." Louisa explained, checking her adventure equipment.
Shang Chongyun nodded. Half an hour later, the car arrived at the airport. What surprised him was that it was actually a private airport. A small passenger plane was parked on the airport runway. An old white man full of energy was sitting at a table, looking at a book seriously. It was a notebook with a yellowed cover. He frowned, as if thinking about some profound problem.
He dressed in the explorer's equipment and dressed in a professional manner.
Seeing the three people walking out of the car, the old man stood up and nodded at the three people, "I'm glad to see that there is still an adventurous spirit among you. In this way, you three accepted the invitation. It's great. Although the number of people is a little smaller, Churchill once said that the key to winning a war is not the number of troops, but the quality of the troops.
Before departure, I must make clear some things in advance. This adventure is very dangerous and we may never go back. However, once we succeed, the secrets we can discover will change human history forever. I hope you can understand this. In order to complete this task, once we embark on this journey, we will have no way to go back. So please make sure you have made such awareness."
The old man's words did not dispel Shang Chongyun's idea, but instead made him even more excited. The old man's eyes swept over the three of them. Seeing that no one was retreating, he nodded, "Very good, so let's get on the plane, oh by the way, my name is Wood, you can call me Dr. Wood."
The four of them got on the plane and then the plane took off.
This plane is obviously Dr. Wood's private plane. It is not difficult to see from this that Dr. Wood is very rich. Even rich people cannot afford to support a private plane.
While the four of them were on the plane, Dr. Wood also introduced the destination of the adventure. Although Dr. Wood said it was very difficult, Shang Chongyun felt that since the old man with white hair in front of him dared to participate, what could he be afraid of? I don’t know where the danger is.
The next journey was very long. They first arrived at a small town in a jungle in South America. It seemed that Dr. Wood was well prepared, and a helicopter and corresponding equipment were waiting there.
The group rested in the town for a night, and the next day, they took a helicopter to fly towards the destination where the Acantra Crypt is located.
In my ears were the sound of the buzzing propellers of the helicopter. Through the helicopter window, you could see the vast jungle below, boundless and dense. Between the undulating mountains, like green beasts lying on their backs. Looking at the exotic scenery in front of me, Shang Chongyun was nervous and excited. However, he had some doubts about the purpose of this adventure. Mr. Wood seemed to be a man of great powers. His purpose seemed very clear, not just to explore casually. So why didn't he ask some professional subordinates to help, but to pull a few of them?
As a rich man, it shouldn't be difficult to do this.
He didn't ask this question, but was instinctively wary. However, after looking at Dr. Wood's gray-haired face, he didn't take it much to heart. The other party was just an old man and there was no one else around him. What should I be prepared for?
