Volume 7 Chapter 36 Snake Bone (Part 2)

02200059 (zero two two zero zero zero five nine), according to A Ning, this string of numbers is the last set of mysterious numbers hidden in the Zhan Guo silk book. After Wang Zanghai decoded it, he was at a loss for an explanation, so he called it the number of days and used it as his own password. Why did Tie Mian Sheng hide this strange set of numbers in the last silk book, and what kind of adventure was behind it? There may be more hidden secrets to this matter, but it has nothing to do with what we are experiencing now, so I won’t go into it here. Jude, the missionary boss of Aning, was very fascinated by Wang Zanghai, so he used his connections to use this number as the identification code for his own resource company. The equipment of Aning’s team, including the car, had this number on it. This kind of company logo is very important in international exploration activities to determine the first discoverer. Now I also have this number on my belt. It can be said that this belt buckle is evidence to determine the team to which the deceased belonged.

Aning didn’t understand what I meant at first, but after taking a closer look, her face turned white. “This…”

“Is your company’s logo code, right?” I asked.

Aning nodded, and it was obvious. She didn’t care that the place was crumbling, and jumped into the gap we had dug, squatting down to shine the miner’s lamp on the skeleton. No one else understood what I was talking about, so when Fatty asked me what the marking code was, I told him what I had been told.

After listening, Fatty looked at his belt, but his and Pan Zi’s were their own, and my equipment was Aning’s, so only mine had a marking. After looking at it, the fat man made a displeased expression and turned to ask Aning, “Hey, Miss Aning, are you trying to trick us again? Your people have already been here!”

Aning shook her head: “Impossible. There is no record of this in the company. If we had been here, with our strength, you would not have been able to work with me.”

“Then how do you explain this?” the fat man asked, holding up the belt buckle.

Aning turned and looked at him coldly, obviously uncomfortable, and said, “I don’t know! You be quiet for a moment, let me look at the dead man first, and then I will explain to you!”

The fat man was so shocked by A Ning that he could not speak, and he was a little angry. Pan Zi had always been distrustful of A Ning, so at this time he looked at me and wanted to see my reaction.

I believe she really doesn’t know. Although Ning has a criminal record, it’s not a crisis at the moment, and she shouldn’t lie to us. Moreover, if they really came here, as she said, her team wouldn’t have disintegrated before they got here. So I gave Pan Zi a wink to keep quiet. I’m still idealistic. Since we’re all on the same road, it’s better not to make interpersonal relationships too tense.

I glanced at the silent oil bottle again to see his reaction. He didn’t say anything.

At this moment, for some reason, I suddenly remembered what my grandmother had written in my grandfather’s notebook: “The people who stand by your side in times of trouble may not necessarily be able to share your wealth, and the people who betray you in times of trouble may not necessarily be unable to associate with you.

This is a sentence written in the notebook, which was probably meant to persuade my grandfather to spend less time with his former bandit brothers.

Later, it turned out that my grandmother was right about people. Although these people had gone through thick and thin with my grandfather, they really fell apart after they became rich. They had conflicts with each other, one slept with the other’s wife, and there were even killings. My grandfather didn’t know how to help them. In the end, he lamented that in society, without the worries of life and death, it became less important to have brothers who protected you.

Ah Ning and Mian Youping, these two people really lived up to Grandma’s words.

The fat guy was about to say something, so I stepped in to stop them from asking any more questions and told them to go back to looking at the skeleton.

The snake bones were tangled with vines, and the human corpse was twisted into a hemp pattern, making it difficult to find anything. Ah Ning reached her hand into the skeleton and searched her neck for something, but apparently there was nothing there.

“No brand name!” Aning found nothing else and climbed back up. She took a necklace from around her neck and showed it to us. “I joined the company in 1997. Since then, we’ve had to bring this kind of thing with us on every project, following the example of the American army. This corpse doesn’t have one, so it must have been part of a team that came here before 1997. It looks like it must have been someone from our company…” She looked very serious, and then paused and said, “I really don’t have any information about this team in the company. I don’t know why she’s here! This doesn’t make any sense.”

“Miss, but the corpse can’t lie. Don’t say that this python swam to your company and ate a person before coming back.” The fat man said angrily.

I looked at the skeleton and was extremely puzzled. This was really impossible. From what Aning had done, I knew how much they had done to get the exact clues here. If someone from their company had arrived here before 1997, then how could they need so much energy to get here again?

Just as I was thinking, the mopan, who had been listening to our debate and looking at the corpse, said “hmm.”

We were all stunned when he suddenly spoke, and we all looked at him. He was staring at the snake bone, and I don’t know when he suddenly showed an expression of surprise on his face.

My head exploded. It was not easy for him to show such an expression. He must have discovered something extremely strange. We all hurried over to see what had happened.

However, looking along with his gaze, we did not see anything unusual that could make us feel strange. After looking for a while, the fat man looked up and asked him what was wrong, don’t scare people in the middle of the night.

Muyoubing didn’t pay any attention to the fat guy, but turned his head and looked at Ning, saying to her, “This is so strange. It looks like your corpse…”
