345. The Purpose of the Prophet
The journey from Armenia to Western Asia was not long, and after an hour, a vast yellow wasteland began to appear in the lower part of the country.
"Maintain the flying condition, and the alert state is lowered to level three." Aphroya breathed a sigh of relief, got down from the command platform, and walked to Chen Chen: "Now that we have entered West Asia, we will soon be on the border between Iraq and Iran." ”
"That's what the intelligence says." Chen Chen smiled and nodded: "But the people from the Divine Wing Alliance haven't arrived at this time, so we don't need to be in such a hurry, just check the terrain first." ”
It was at this moment that the observer suddenly came with a report: "Captain, there is a figure below, we need to get around it so that the engine sound is not heard." ”
"People?" Aphroya turned her head and asked suspiciously: "Isn't there a desert nearby, it seems that no one lives within dozens of kilometers, how can anyone appear?" ”
"The image is coming over right away." The observer did not answer directly, but instead sent the footage to the monitor for Aphroa to see.
Soon, the picture emerged, only to see a team of people riding camels on the vast desert is moving forward, they are very well prepared, the camels are carrying a lot of packages, from the direction of travel, it seems to be planning to go deep into the desert.
Others were nothing, but a round fat man in the middle of the team attracted Chen Chen's attention.
Although he wrapped his body in a windproof sand robe, the physical characteristics were too obvious, and Chen Chen recognized it at once.
The Arab Prophet, Salmuhammad?
What did he do in this desert? And, where does he want to go?
Chen Chen frowned secretly, faintly feeling that he was going to have some purpose that interested him this time, and immediately turned his head to look at Aphroya: "I have something to leave, you guys should act on their own first!" ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Aphroya couldn't help but be stunned: "Then in the middle, there are people you know?" ”
"Sort of, don't ask." Chen Chen smiled faintly and reminded casually: "After I go down, the Avenger Angel will leave, don't stare at me from above." ”
"Understand ......" Aphroya had long been accustomed to Chen Chen's mysteries, so she didn't say anything more at the moment: "Then, you can contact me when you need it, and the Avenger Angel will pick you up." ”
Chen Chen waved his hand lightly, left the command cabin and came to the rear cargo hold, and climbed into the Sky Dome transport plane.
The tail flight hatch immediately opened, and Chen Chen drove the plane away from the Avenger and flew downward, and then, the Avenger climbed high and left this airspace.
The plane went around a few kilometers in front of the Sal group below, Chen Chen landed, and then put the transport plane back into the plane prison, and changed his appearance to his original appearance, so he could walk towards the Sal group in a good time, and soon, they encountered each other.
Seeing Chen Chen wandering alone in the desert, Sal laughed out loud: "Isn't this Mr. Chen Chen, the chairman of Nokia Corporation and the head of the pioneer company?" What a coincidence! ”
"yes, what a coincidence!" Chen Chen also laughed, and stopped and stood in place: "Prophet Sal, we are really destined. ”
While speaking, the camel team also came to Chen Chen, and they also stopped advancing.
"Speaking of which, how did Mr. Chen appear in this place?" Sal smiled and looked around, his eyes were extremely playful: "This is all around the vast desert, there is nothing, who does Mr. Chen plan to sell the phone and chips to?" ”
"I'm so weird." Chen Chen also looked at each other with a smile, and spread his hands easily: "In this vast desert, who does the prophet want to predict the future?" ”
"Isn't it okay to give yourself a foresight of the future?" Sal laughed and waved his hand, the fat on his face kept shaking: "Mr. Chen, do you know that life is actually like such a journey, most of the time it is difficult to move forward in the desert, but no one knows when there will be an oasis of their own in front of them." ”
"Everyone has their own way!" Chen Chen nodded with a smile, and looked at the desert behind him: "The prophet can predict the future, naturally know what trajectory to follow, and can find the oasis of life the fastest, but I am different, I can't predict the future, so I like to build an oasis for myself in front of me." ”
"Hahaha!" Sal burst into laughter again: "Then Mr. Chen came to West Asia this time to build a sheltered oasis for himself, right?" Speaking of which, your whereabouts are really unpredictable, and it reminds me of another person, who is also strange and mysterious. ”
"That must be a very interesting person, right?" Chen Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Sal with a smile.
"Very interesting! Well, let's not talk about that! A gleam also flashed in Sal's eyes, and then he waved his hand to change the topic: "It's also fate that we meet, Mr. Chen, are you interested in walking together?" ”
"Well, I'd like to see the Prophet's oasis too!" Chen Chen regained a smile on his face, and then under the guidance of the other party, he turned over and rode an empty camel.
The team continued to walk slowly down the desert.
"Mr. Chen, come, let me introduce you to my friend." As he moved forward, Sal pointed to a few people in the middle of the group, and when he pointed to one, he introduced accordingly.
Among them, there are geologists, archaeologists, and cultural scholars.
With the introduction, Chen Chen also smiled and nodded to several people.
However, the faces of the men were not very good, and the archaeologist simply drove the camel to Sal's side, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Sal, are you planning to let that kid join us?" ”
"Why not?" Sal smiled and asked, "Trust me, I know far more about that kid's worth than you do." ”
After all, the prophet is different, everyone knows that Sal has some skills in his hands, so the archaeologist is a little inconvenient to say more, but he is still a little unwilling: "However, this time it is extremely secretive......"
"You think he's going to get it out?" Sal smiled more relaxedly: "Don't worry, that kid is also a master who can't afford to make a profit, what benefits will only be hidden in his arms to hide, even if someone tortures him, he will not let go, more tightly than a trained agent!" ”
Now that Sal had said so, the archaeologist retreated.
He didn't hear it, and after he left, Sal muttered softly again: "And, I have a hunch that that kid is the key to solving everything, the key, right there for him, the future of mankind, is also in his hands!" ”
The team moved on, and in order to reduce the attrition, the crowd did not say much.
It was far less convenient on the ground than in the air, and after walking for two whole days, everyone finally came to the depths of the desert, where some artificially built remnants of broken walls began to appear, sparse and sparse everywhere.
Moreover, on the stone remnants of the broken walls, you can still see a lot of exquisite patterns, although it has been very blurry under the long-term elegance, and many places are not clear, but you can still judge from some clues that the people who built these at the beginning, the exquisite craftsmanship.
Seeing this scene, several people in the team couldn't help but glance at each other and nodded at the same time.
Then the procession stopped, and everyone got off the camels, and found a corner and camped, and arranged all the camels on the periphery.
After arranging everything, everyone sat together, took out dry food and drinking water, and ate.
Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Chen silently came to sit down beside Sal and asked, "Okay, it's come to this point, Mr. Sal should also uncover the mystery, right?" ”
"Of course!" Sal smiled faintly and sorted out his thoughts: "I have always been very interested in various ancient civilizations, and I have been studying them for many years. ”
"Yes, learn from history!" Chen Chen also strongly agreed with this statement, and immediately nodded and agreed: "Ancient civilizations once had glorious and brilliant moments, but they were all destroyed in the end, and their destruction should be a wake-up call for us." ”
"That's right, a person of Mr. Chen's level should also understand these truths." Sal laughed, "So, I'm not going to hide anything from you. ”
"So this trip ......" Chen Chen looked up and asked curiously, "Which ancient civilization are you looking for?" ”
"Do you need to talk about this? Are there any other ancient civilizations in Western Asia? Sal chuckled and shook his head: "The only thing I can find is the ancient Babylonian kingdom, the Hanging Garden." ”
"So, have you confirmed the exact location?" Chen Chen raised his head and looked around: "There seems to be nothing around here." ”
"It's a superficial phenomenon!" Sal smiled lightly: "For so many years, I have not been able to find the ruins of the Hanging Garden, and many people even think that it has long been destroyed and does not exist, and I have only recently made some new discoveries." ”
"Oh?" Chen Chen frowned, and suddenly thought of some possibility.
"The truth is often hidden under the dust of history." Seeing that Chen Chen gradually reacted, Sal also nodded: "People in the world are so impetuous and blinded by dust, but few people settle down to study. ”
At this time, someone suddenly exclaimed: "The wind and sand are coming!" ”
Everyone raised their eyes to look at the sky, and they saw that on the distant skyline, bursts of thick smoke were billowing out, covering the sky and sweeping in, as if thousands of troops were stepping through the earth to rush and kill, which seemed amazing.
"I came here to wait for a sandstorm......" Seeing this, Sal not only did not panic, but laughed: "Everyone hide behind the camels, lie down and don't run around, wait for the wind and sand to pass." ”
Alerted, everyone immediately took action, hid behind the camels, and hid against the broken wall.
Then, there is darkness, flying sand and stones.
