My strategy failed, so my bestie introduced me to a tough officer.

"Brother Fuyang, I'm a little scared. Can I sleep next to you?"

Seeing Xu Fuyang enter the tent where Yun Jiaojiao was, Zhang Wanru bit her lip and quickly entered.

"Brother Fu Yang, I will definitely not disturb your rest."

"Comrade Zhang Wanru, I'll let you."

Without waiting for Xu Fuyang to express his opinion.

Yun Jiaojiao, wrapped in a sleeping bag, moved to the side, making room next to Xu Fuyang.

Seeing Zhang Wanru happily holding the sleeping bag and sitting in the place where Yun Jiaojiao had just lain, Xu Fuyang frowned unhappily.

"Yun Jiaojiao."

The three words "Yun Jiaojiao" popped out from between Xu Fuyang's teeth.

"What are you doing?"

Yun Jiaojiao forced a glance at Xu Fuyang and spoke impatiently.

"Director Xu is making so much noise at this hour of night. Can't you let me sleep?"

Xu Fuyang was so angry that he glared at Yun Jiaojiao.

Seeing that Yun Jiaojiao turned around again and ignored him, Xu Fuyang had to withdraw his gaze from her and turned his back to Zhang Wanru.

Zhang Wanru lay contentedly in her sleeping bag between Yun Jiaojiao and Xu Fuyang.

Xu Fuyang, as long as I, Zhang Wanru, am here, you can never be with that bitch Yun Jiaojiao.

Yun Jiaojiao slept well all night and got up the next day to cook in high spirits.

The team members consciously helped to collect firewood and make a fire.

With the help of her teammates, Yun Jiaojiao cooked a pot of potato dumpling soup with soaked dried potato slices and flour.

After eating and drinking, Lei Wanqing divided the team of fourteen people into two teams.

He and the guide led the four people to the east side of Sunset Valley.

Xu Fuyang and Yun Jiaojiao led the remaining team members to the west of Sunset Valley.

The Sunset Valley has gone through thousands of years of wind and rain, and the dry riverbed contains countless biological fossils and precious mineral resources. If you are lucky, you may even discover rare elements.

At around 9:30, Yun Jiaojiao, Xu Fuyang and their group arrived at the west side of Sunset Valley.

A group of eight people were walking in the riverbed carrying backpacks and collecting tools.

As he walked, Xu Fuyang suddenly realized that there was one person missing from his side.

Yun Jiaojiao!

His heart tightened and he quickly turned his head to look behind him.

At this moment, a brightly colored stone attracted Yun Jiaojiao's attention.

The stone is dark brown all over and has a metallic luster in the sun.

"Yun Jiaojiao, what are you doing here?"

Xu Fuyang strode to Yun Jiaojiao with a little anger.

"After attending training courses for so long, don't you know that leaving the scientific research expedition team is a dangerous thing?"

"Follow me."

"This Sunset Valley is full of hidden dangers. If you fall behind, you may be in danger at any time..."

"what!"

Xu Fuyang scolded Yun Jiaojiao, but before he could finish his words, a scream suddenly interrupted him.

"Help."

"help me."

"Director Xu, Deputy Director Yun, please save me."

There is a hidden danger in the valley.

This crisis includes quicksand.

Xu Fuyang and Yun Jiaojiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw one of the team members trapped in the quicksand.

The gray fine sand had already reached the team members' calves.

"do not move."

Seeing the team members calling for help and struggling desperately, Yun Jiaojiao spoke anxiously to stop them.

"This is quicksand."

"The more you struggle, the faster you sink."

Yun Jiaojiao dropped the collection tools and walked towards the team members trapped in the quicksand.

Xu Fuyang was afraid that she would be in danger, so he followed her closely.

"Deputy Director Yun, this is your first time in the Takkan Desert. How do you know this is quicksand?"

Zhang Wanru is jealous of Yun Jiaojiao's broad knowledge.

Seeing Xu Fuyang walking over with Yun Jiaojiao, Zhang Wanru couldn't control her jealousy and questioned Yun Jiaojiao.

"Comrade Zhang Wanru, you are ignorant, but that doesn't mean I am as ignorant as you."

Hearing the jealousy in Zhang Wanru's tone, Yun Jiaojiao glared at her unceremoniously.

Zhang Wanru was frightened by Yun Jiaojiao's eyes and immediately shut up.

She looked at Xu Fuyang beside her unwillingly.

Xu Fuyang was so focused on saving people at the moment that he didn't pay any attention to Zhang Wanru at all.

"Jiaojiao, since you know this is quicksand, do you know how to save people?"

This was Xu Fuyang's first time encountering quicksand, and he felt a little lost at the moment.

"Lifeline."

"Whoever keeps the life rope, take it out immediately."

Seeing that the team members were sinking deeper and deeper, and the gray quicksand had already reached their knees, Yun Jiaojiao no longer had time to answer Xu Fuyang, and anxiously ordered the team members to take out the life rope.

After Yun Jiaojiao finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhang Wanru.

"Secretary Zhang is responsible for keeping the life rope, medicine, bandages, and lighters."

"Secretary Zhang, quickly get out the life rope."

Under everyone's urging, Zhang Wanru hurriedly opened the zipper of her backpack and frantically searched for the life rope in the backpack.

Seeing that she had searched for a long time but still couldn't find the life rope, some anxious team members urged again: "Secretary Zhang, did you find it?"

"How could it not be?"

"How could it not be?"

"I clearly put the life rope in my backpack before leaving. How come it's gone?"

Zhang Wanru raised her head and looked at Xu Fuyang with a pale face.

"Brother Fu Yang, I really did put some rescue supplies in my backpack..."

"Zhang Wanru, this is your work attitude."

Xu Fuyang's brows were locked into a distinct "川" shape, and his tone when speaking to Zhang Wanru was colder than ever before. It was obvious that he was very angry with Zhang Wanru.

"Didn't I tell you last night to check carefully before leaving?"

"You are killing people, do you know that?"

"With your work attitude, I don't think you're suitable for the High-Tech Weapons Research Group. When I return to Jiangcheng after this research expedition, I'll report this to Dean Lei and ask him to assign you a new position based on your abilities."

As soon as these words came out.

Zhang Wanru's face turned pale.

"Brother Fu Yang, you can't do this to me."

"I put the life rope in the backpack as you requested."

"Yun Jiaojiao, it's you. You took the life rope. It must be you."

Zhang Wanru pointed at Yun Jiaojiao angrily.

"I don't have as much free time as you."

The top priority is to save lives.

Yun Jiaojiao was too lazy to pay attention to her.

"Everyone, take the belts."

Yun Jiaojiao's eyes swept across the gay man's waist.

Xu Fuyang and all the male comrades present blushed immediately when they saw her look.

"hurry up."

"If you don't hurry up, it will be too late."

As Yun Jiaojiao spoke, she reached out her hand to Xu Fuyang's waist.

Xu Fuyang was frightened by her actions and took a step back.

"I, I'll do it myself."

Xu Fuyang deftly untied the belt around his waist and handed it to Yun Jiaojiao.

The other four men present unbuckled their belts.

Yun Jiaojiao took all the belts and deftly buckled them into one.

Long enough.

Strong enough.

After making sure that the buckled belt was long and strong enough, Yun Jiaojiao threw one end of the belt to the trapped team member.

"Catch it."
