When Kelly arrived, the interrogation was over.

Because he didn't have time to learn how to read other people's minds from Melanie, Chu Tianjiang could only use torture, so he didn't let Nicol and the others participate in the interrogation work. In any case, torture is a very bloody and cruel thing, and Chu Tianjiang doesn't want Nicol and the others to be affected.

When Chu Tianjiang came out of the cave, Clara hurriedly asked. "How?"

In order to avoid being discovered by others, after the attack, Chu Tianjiang took the gang to the depths of the mountain about fifty kilometers away from the town and found this cave.

"That guy is a tough guy, but he has said everything." Chu Tianjiang walked to Clara and sat down between Clara and Nichol, and asked Kelly, who had just returned, "How is the situation over there?" ”

Edgar went straight back to the hotel and went to bed.

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said: "This group of people is from Houston and belongs to the 'Skeleton Legion' of the Southwest White Group, and that strong man is the commander of the legion, named Mark, who used to serve in the special forces of the U.S. Army. Most of the members of the Legion have served in the U.S. Army, and many have gone on combat missions overseas. ”

"How many people are there in the Legion?" Clara asked.

"It's less than three thousand, but Mark only brought about five hundred."

"What is their purpose?"

"Deal with that businessman named Stewart." Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh and said, "This Stewart is one of the general directors of the Houston Chamber of Commerce, and the Houston Chamber of Commerce is a business guild attached to the Southwest White Group, and it is also the largest chamber of commerce in the Southwest of the United States. ”

Clara frowned and said, "So, Mark and Stewart should be all the way, why did he deal with Stewart?" ”

"Well, we'll have to ask Mark, or Stewart." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Stewart is a slave trader, and the Houston Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in human trafficking. According to the guy's confession, Stewart's escort team is in Las Vegas, and he has already purchased a large number of people, and he came here for a special matter, and he was delayed for seven days. Yesterday morning, Mark ambushed the convoy that had arrived from Las Vegas to pick up Stewart, preparing to deal with him on his way to Las Vegas. ”

"That's all?"

"That guy is just one of Mark's subordinates, acting according to Mark's orders, and as for what Mark is going to do with Stewart, and why Stewart left his escort here, and why he has been delayed here for a week, he doesn't know the way, and he has no reason to know the way." Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "Obviously, there must be a dark secret between Mark and Stewart. We now have two options: one is to stop and go to Denver on our own; The second is to go to the hotel tomorrow and follow Stewart to Salt Lake City. If Stewart returns to Houston after arriving in Salt Lake City, he'll go to Denver, so we'll be able to follow him to Denver. ”

After Chu Tianjiang finished speaking, no one else expressed his position.

"Tell me what you think." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "This time, there is no Lao Zhang to help us with advice, we have to brainstorm." ”

"I don't think there's any need to get into any of these troubles." Rachel spoke first. "Mark wasn't a good guy, and Stewart wasn't much better. Whether they are dead or alive has nothing to do with us, and we have no reason to mix in. Besides, with our ability, we can get to Denver in three days. Even if there will be some trouble along the way, no one can help us, and there is no need to follow the caravan to Denver. ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled and turned his gaze to Nichol.

"You can do what you say, I have no opinion." Nichol, as ever, was seriously lacking in assertiveness, and everything was only the first to be seen.

"Maya?"

"Me?" Maya was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't think there is any need to delay here if we go directly to Denver." ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled, Maya obviously did not support Rachel's proposal.

"The question is, is it necessary to do all this troublesome thing because our purpose is to go to Denver and find the 'Wild Rose'?" Rachel glared at Maya.

Clara shook her head with a smile and pinched Chu Tianjiang's arm.

"Rachel, do you know why I'm doing this?" Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "On the plane, I made it clear that after arriving in the United States, we should try to avoid using superpowers, and even more so avoid directly using energy bodies, the purpose is to prevent others from knowing our true identity. Think about it, what would she think if we were to go straight to Denver and suddenly appear in front of Wild Rose? Clara mentioned that the Wild Rose would be wary of us and would spy on us until trust was established. It wouldn't be long before she realized that we had crossed a third of the United States alone, crossed several fragmented territories, and arrived in Denver unscathed. Do you think she, after knowing this, will think that we are ordinary agents sent by military intelligence to assist her in dealing with the Jewish group? If she has doubts about our identity, it will be difficult to gain her trust. ”

"Do you have to find something to do for this?"

"Rachel, we have to think like ordinary people." Clara put her arms around Chu Tianjiang. "None of us are ordinary people, but our public identity is that of a military intelligence agent, so even if we have more abilities than ordinary people, we can't be too ostentatious. Previously, the agent sent by Lao Zhang to contact the 'Wild Rose' was to follow a caravan to Denver as a free mercenary. If we were a similar agent, we would obviously use the same method and would never risk going to Denver alone. ”

Rachel rolled her eyes and said nothing more.

"There is one more thing to consider, that is, the intelligence network in the hands of the 'Wild Rose'. If she had taken an interest in us, she would have been under her surveillance by the time we arrived in town. Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "Rachel, although you are both native-born Americans, after the vicissitudes of life, this is no longer the America you are familiar with. We don't know anything about the current United States, and we don't even know enough about Lao Zhang. Rushing to Denver may not be beneficial, and it may even be counterproductive. ”

"This ......" Rachel frowned and looked at Chu Tianjiang.

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "As the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake to chop firewood. If you don't take the time to understand the situation now, you still have to take time to understand the situation when you get to Denver. Anyway, no one is paying attention to us now, and when we get to Denver, it's not so easy for us to move. That Stuart should be a powerful character to be the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and maybe learn something from him. ”

Rachel pursed her mouth, she couldn't say Chu Tianjiang, so she wouldn't say it.

"Think of it as a group tour." Clara turned around, grabbed Rachel's arm, and said, "This is my first time in the United States." ”

"You haven't been to the U.S. before?"

"I've always wanted to travel to the United States, but I've never had the opportunity."

"Let's talk about these things later." Chu Tianjiang stood up and said to Rachel, "Do you know where the Dao Death Valley is?" ”

"Death Valley?" Rachel also stood up. "It's just west of Las Vegas, and it's the only way to get to Las Vegas from here."

"How far?"

"Less than five hundred kilometers."

"Then we were in the past."

"What?"

Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh and said, "Stewart's escort was ambushed in Death Valley, we have to go over and take a look, maybe we can find something useful." ”

"Maya, you and Chloe lead the way."

"Wait." Chu Tianjiang called Kelly over. "You go back to the hotel to find Andre, ask them to go back to the base, and help us get some weapons and equipment."

"What am you doing with me?" Kelly was clearly a little reluctant.

"Be obedient, I'll come back later, I'll go to you alone."

"Really?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "When did I lie to you?" ”

Kelly immediately left happily. It's just that Chu Tianjiang's life is not easy, and of course the other wives will not let him go.

Two hours later, Chu Tianjiang and the others came to the Valley of Death.

The name "Death Valley" comes from an expedition team that nearly got trapped in the bottom of the valley more than 100 years ago in search of gold mines. Death Valley is the lowest, driest and hottest place on the North American continent, with recorded highs of 57 degrees Celsius, summer highs typically around 50 degrees Celsius, and annual rainfall totals often less than 50 millimeters.

Even for expeditions with modern equipment, this is a forbidden area for life.

Because of the discovery of gold and silver in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by expeditions, several towns appeared in Death Valley. It was only a hundred years ago, after the mining was exhausted, that these bustling towns were abandoned. Since then, Death Valley has been designated as a nature reserve by the U.S. federal government to establish Death Valley National Park, and no one has settled in the area again.

Death Valley is not a valley, but a sunken valley plain.

It took Chu Tianjiang and the others more than an hour to find the ambushed escort in the ruins of a small town, to be precise, the remains of more than 300 escorts.

The attack came so suddenly that most of the guards didn't have time to resist and resist. Since more than a hundred bodies were lined up in a neat row, all with their throats cut or their heads cut off, and there were no fatal gunshot wounds, it is certain that none of the guards were killed instantly, but were executed by the attackers after being wounded. Chu Tianjiang did not find ammunition and weapons, and even the bullet casings were very few, indicating that the attackers had cleaned up the battlefield and taken away all the ammunition and weapons. Of course, in the United States, ammunition weapons are the most valuable resource.
