The camels had already lost control.
The old man, who was pulling the ropes, lost his grip, and they ran away.
A breeze blew past the excavation site, stirring up fine sand.
The horizon in the distance gradually turned dark yellow.
The old man looked at this doomsday-like scene. He couldn't help but kneel on the ground and put his hands together in prayer. He knelt on the ground and kept muttering, "God... above, bless me..."
This scene made the veins on Ian's forehead bulge.
At this time, he was still worshiping God!? He had to run for his life!
When Schubert heard Ian's voice, he immediately dragged his tired body to his office.
There was all the research data he had, and he had to take it away!
However, the sandstorm came even faster.
The clear sky just now seemed to darken in an instant while the raging wind howled. More and more fine sand was swept into the air by the wind. The surroundings were covered in sand and dust, and the visibility was getting lower and lower.
Since no one was commanding, the scene fell into chaos.
Ian took out his walkie-talkie with the help of the faint light and adjusted the announcement channel.
"All teams, do a headcount. Staying alive is your priority. Ignore everything else temporarily!"
"Excavation team!"
"Present! All assembled!"
"Live stream team!"
"Present! Headcount is not a problem!"
"Expert team!"
"We're all here, except... except for Professor Schubert..."
Ian could not hear clearly due to the raging wind.
"Say it again. Who's left behind?"
"Professor Schubert has returned to his tent to save the research!"
"F*ck!"
Ian did not expect that Schubert would actually be left behind to save the research at this time.
The wind was getting fiercer and fiercer, and the sandstorm was rampant. There was a dark yellow color everywhere. Under such circumstances, the difficulty of saving someone would increase by several times.
If Schubert were to be swept into this terrifying sandstorm, his archaeological mission could be said to have ended prematurely. Such an outcome was clearly something Ian could not accept.
Beside Ian was Aika, who was also the only person he could recognize. Just as she was about to speak, the sandstorm violently shoved a mouthful of sand into Ian's mouth.
Ian made a hand gesture indicating that he was going to save Professor Schubert.
Before he could confirm whether Aika understood what he meant, Ian supported his deputy with one hand and jumped down from the stands.
Although the visibility was low, countless people in the live stream room could still see Ian's movements clearly.
"F*ck! Ian jumped down! Is he courting death?"
"It's such a big sandstorm, he will die if he goes down! This guy doesn't want to live anymore!"
"The one on the walkie-talkie just said that the sandstorm trapped Professor Schubert. I guess Ian went to save him, right?"
"Could it be Ian had saved Professor Schubert before, and that's how he got the archaeological quota?"
"Is the person upstairs still a person? Do you dare to save him? Why don't you go save him! I have no objection to giving you an archaeological quota!"
"This is a sandstorm! If you're not careful, you'll lose your life! It's like walking around your backyard in your mouth! It's really disgusting!"
Ian's act of jumping down moved many righteous netizens, and they supported him one after the other.
Ian, who jumped down, did not know what had happened up there.
Due to this slight delay, the surrounding environment had been blurred by the wind and sand, and he could not even tell his own location.
At this time, a small dot with arrows appeared on the map in Ian's mind.
The topographic maps and indicators of the surroundings were on it.
"F*ck! The system is awesome!" Ian couldn't help but roar in his heart.
The system's map could be used like this!
At this time, a black tornado-shaped icon on the map was rapidly moving toward the ruins.
Ian was standing on the north side of the pyramid's excavation ruins, so he immediately set off for Schubert's tent.
Ian's body felt like a piece of paper against the wind. Every step he took was involuntary as if he would be swept away by the strong wind at any time.
At that moment, he couldn't hear anything except the sound of the wind.
He ran nearly 200 meters under immense pressure and arrived in front of Schubert's tent.
It was more like an open bar than a tent.
The surrounding tents had all been blown away, and the scattered information was everywhere. Only some tables and chairs nailed to the ground were swaying in the wind.
Ian was searching everywhere. The fearsome sandstorm was just about to hit the excavation site.
Ian looked around and finally found a person lying on the ground on the sand dune not far away.
This person was almost half covered in sand. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead. Ian rushed over and pulled him out of the yellow sand.
It was indeed Professor Schubert!
He was still holding a stack of documents in his hands. His current condition was not good. He had been in a hurry to collect the documents and had been directly knocked down by the strong wind. If it was not for Ian, the outcome would really be a disaster.
Ian picked up Professor Schubert.
Although the wind and sand were fierce, Ian knew that this was just the prelude to the sandstorm.
A really fierce storm could come at any time, so he couldn't delay it.
Ian raised his hand and carried Schubert on his back. He slowly walked toward the shelter behind him.
In the sandstorm shelter...
Aika looked a little absent-minded at this time.
The others were talking about the sandstorm and Professor Schubert and Ian, who were still outside.
There was yellow sand outside.
Aika had seen a lot of bones on the way here. They had joked about not knowing what kind of animal it was.
However, she was now scared.
One of them was her favorite professor, and the other was her favorite writer.
If something happened...
The live stream room was also filled with people consoling Aika.
The live stream had not stopped.
When the audience witnessed such a thing happen during the first large-scale excavation of the ruins, they could not help but guess.
"Ian and Schubert seem to be the people who are going to dig the northern entrance of the ruins, right? Is this really an accident?"
"Although Ian was very brave just now, it's still one thing. I think he is still a liar."
"Did he offend some kind of existence? Did he bring God's punishment upon himself? Are they about to meet Osiris?"
"Let them go and meet Osiris!"
Upon seeing that some people were cursing Ian and her professor in the live stream room, Aika, who was already crestfallen, immediately snapped.
"You're the one who'll go meet Osiris! Your whole family will go meet Osiris!"
Aika was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling, revealing a shocking curve.
She was completely helpless since something like that happened so abruptly.
Why did these people still say such vicious words?
Tears threatened to fall from the corners of Aika's eyes at any moment.
A black shadow suddenly appeared at the gate of the base.
A person was carrying another person on his back.
This resolute figure was particularly eye-catching in the yellow sand.
"Osiris said that I was lucky, and he didn't want to see me."
"Ian!"
Several people who knew Ian shouted in their hearts simultaneously.
