章 729: Chapter 533: A Place Farther than the Universe_3

"Professor, since we are already in the South Pole, there are some things that I should clarify with you."

Duanmu Huai approached Professor Palmer and began speaking calmly.

"What is it?"

"You may have noticed that our journey to the South Pole is not to observe penguins, nor strictly for geological archaeology. In fact, there are more important matters at hand. We chose to travel with the archaeological team merely for convenience. However, going forward, we might have to tend to our own tasks. So, if we go missing, please don't worry. Just focus on your work."

"This......"

As Duanmu Huai suggested, if they were to disappear without a word, it would be reasonable for Professor Palmer to assume they were missing and possibly initiate a search. What did Duanmu Huai exactly mean?

"Do you understand why I chose to sponsor you?"
