Chapter 131: Starry Night
When we arrived at the hinterland of the Whale Valley desert, it was already half past eleven at night. Everyone was waiting for Adam to decide if the palace was in this area.
But this mysterious old man kept looking at the stars in the sky, trying to think, and after a few minutes, he seemed to have found the "mark", and immediately pointed to the east: "Drive five kilometers further there, and you can set up a tent....."
Qin Lin informed Arnold of his next direction via satellite phone.
As soon as he got out of the car, Arnold took a small device to confirm the coordinates and sent it to the headquarters in the United States. Next, military satellites will be one of their guarantees.
And Qin Lin turned on their headsets again and got in touch with Hugo, who was guarding in front of the computer.
"Mr. Qin, are the coordinates still sent to the person who received the email last time?"
"That's right, let them come over quickly....."
The desert temperature was very low at night, and little Ibn was so cold that he stomped his feet, but Qiyu had prepared for it and distributed thick down jackets to everyone. Looking at the open Egyptian desert and the starry sky, everyone is extra comfortable when they pitch their tents, which is similar to the pleasure of adventure.
Mubarak, as a local, was naturally not surprised, and when he was done, he went into his tent and fell asleep.
In front of the bonfire, several agents were still silent, drinking the whiskey they brought to warm up, and looking at Qin Lin from time to time, as if they were not convinced by this little white face with fine skin and tender meat.
Why is he in charge?
"What time will it be tomorrow?" Arnold's approach to questioning was always straightforward.
"Tomorrow at noon, the palace may appear in this area at any time, so be careful...."Adam saw that his grandson Ibn was a little sleepy, so he decided to go and rest.
Arnold immediately arranged a night shift, and several agents, like robots, immediately stood up from the ground and began to carry out orders. Then he came to Qin Lin's side: "Mr. Qin, may I ask who you were talking to on the phone just now?"
This guy's tone was very blunt, which made the two of them a little unhappy, Qin Lin replied without looking at him: "Colleague, what's the matter?
"There's no need to debrief, but since we're on a mission together, there's no need to hide it. Although you are in charge, don't forget, it is the United States that is leading this operation, please don't make your own decisions....."
Qin Lin disagreed with his words: "Is this a warning?"
Arnold didn't answer the question, got up and walked towards his tent.
"Master, it seems that Mi Guo doesn't trust us...."Although Qiyu is not good at reasoning, he is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and he still understands the urine nature of the high-level of Mi Guo.
"Guessed it.... Do you know why I didn't arrange the night watch just now?" Qin Lin lit his cigar.
"Because it's useless to say it, those agents won't listen to you, and from beginning to end, they have only one superior, Arnold..."
"Hahaha...."Qin Lin hugged Qiyu tighter.
In fact, this was a strange action, Arnold and they didn't seem to disobey Qin Lin, in fact, there must be other tasks arranged for them by the high-level of the United States, and these would not be told to Qin Lin, that is, just use his ingenuity.
And Qin Lin also had other purposes, to catch Ding Yan and see if the Ten Thousand Souls Sect had anything to do with the Guangji Society.
On the road just now, Adam also stated his purpose for looking for the palace, except for Mubarak, who was the guide, and little Ibn, who longed for adventure.
The three parties are not all the way at all! Thinking of this, Qin Lin smiled bitterly.
Qiyu looked at the stars in the sky: "Why don't you sleep at night, I'll keep vigil, maybe Arnold has something they think?"
This woman has always only put Qin Lin first, no one can say what will happen tomorrow, how can she not rest well?
"Fool, those agents don't want us to have an accident now, and they can sleep later....."
.............................
The desert was nothing unusual the next morning, Mubarak was sleeping lazily and the agents were dressed as soldiers, and they were divided into four squads around the camp, looking into the distance with binoculars with serious expressions, as a kind of alarm.
Qiyu was also making final preparations, carefully checking the equipment he had brought, while Hugo sat on a sand dune with a book in his hand, telling his grandson the stories of the Bible.
The most idle is Qin Lin, he doesn't want to go to the side with those agents to eat sand, and when he is bored, he also comes to Adam's side and listens to the story.
But he soon discovered the strange situation at the moment, and interjected curiously: "Old man, your grandson is an Egyptian, and it stands to reason that he should belong to the camp of "Allah", how can you read the Bible to him?"
His story was abruptly interrupted, but Adam was not upset, but said with a serious expression: "Is it different what religion you read? We are all God's people, and all the scriptures should be known, so that we can be worthy of God, Amen..."
Anyway, he also drew a cross on his chest.
Qin Lin looked at the numerous religious ornaments on this old man's chest, there was no shortage of religions that hated each other, which felt too discordant. He was quickly amused: "Hahaha.... I'm sorry, old man, I just thought you were too peculiar....."
"You're amazing! My grandfather saved a lot of people, you know?" said Ibn grimacing at him.
"It's nothing, there are more people out there who call me a god. It doesn't matter....." Adam still looked happy: "You escaped death last time, I thought you would have more respect for the gods, it seems that I was wrong, you really don't have any wisdom roots..."
As they were arguing, the desert grew stronger, and Ibn spat out the sand that had been blown into his mouth and asked his grandfather, "It seems that something has changed!"
Adam nodded, closed the book, stood up and looked around, and said, "Bring your gear and get in the car!"
Qin Lin understood what he meant, referring to the palace to appear in advance.
The wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, but fortunately it is not a tornado. After everyone hurriedly packed their things, they were ready to get into the car.
"It's coming! It's just to the east! This gust of wind will last for about two hours, and the palace is buried underground, so you have to be ready!" Adam's advice before getting into the car was officially launched, and everyone became grim and shook the guns in their hands.
