Chapter 224: The soldiers are divided into two ways
The team then began to move on, and although this time the car was changed to a five-person car, the Jeep itself was relatively large, so it was barely too crowded.
After turning a corner, a huge white tower towered far from the foot of the volcano.
"Oh shit, now I have a psychological shadow when I see the bridge." Nate joked as he pointed to a bridge in front of the road to the Great White Tower.
"No way, if you want to go down from here to the town below, this is the only way to go, and besides, we have to go to that tower to see, maybe there are some clues." As he spoke, Jack drove towards the giant tower under Chen Fan's instructions.
Soon the two cars were driving in front of the bridge.
"Oh, do you think it's safe to have this kind of bridge? It's all broken, and besides, this wood is hundreds of years old, and it's rotten if it can't be changed. ”
Pointing to the broken wooden bridge in front of him, Sam said uncertainly.
"It's not done, either just go over here, or you can go back home, which one do you choose?" Chen Fan spread his hands at Sam.
Hearing Chen Fan's words, Sam was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, let it go." ”
Then the two cars were in order, one in front of the other, ready to rush over.
Nate, after everyone was ready, put up the gear and instantly rushed to the opposite side, followed by Jack.
The car was getting faster and faster, and finally rushed to the bridge deck.
Fortunately, nothing happened this time, the bridge deck did not collapse, and the car passed the first half without any problems.
Soon there was a break in front of him, and Nate did not reduce his speed, but accelerated and rushed over.
Woo~~
The car rushed off the bridge and flew towards the opposite side.
There were two clatters and slammed down on the front of the other side, which made the bridge shake a little, but fortunately it passed the most dangerous section smoothly.
When everyone finally arrived at the opposite side, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After parking the car, everyone jumped down and walked towards the white tower.
When they came to the foot of the giant tower, everyone scattered to look for clues, and Chen Fan found that the gate of the giant tower had been completely blocked by mud and stones, and it was estimated that it would take a lot of effort to open it.
Just as Momoko was holding her beloved and preparing to open the way for C, 4, she was suddenly interrupted by Jack.
"We found a passage that was supposed to lead to the interior."
Hearing this, Chen Fan planned to go over and take a look, if not, it would not be too late to come back and blow it up.
Follow Jack to a remote hut whose door has been violently opened.
Everyone followed the passage in the hut to the underground, and Jack pointed to a wall and said, "Just now this place was blocked by a shelf, and when we pushed it open, a stone wall behind it was revealed, I have seen it, and I can see from the gap that there is a passage behind it." ”
Following Jack's words, Chen Fan came to the stone wall and looked through the gap in the stone wall, and sure enough, there was a dim passage behind it.
"Peach, blow this stone wall apart." Chen Fan turned his head to Peaches and said.
"Okay, you all push away." Hearing this, Momoko happily came to the stone wall and began to work.
After a while, after planting the bomb charge, the peach retreated far away.
"You all step back a bit, it's not good to be splashed by the rubble after the explosion in a while." After Chen Fan admonished everyone, he looked at Peaches from afar.
Seeing Chen Fan looking over, Peaches decisively pressed the detonation button.
Rumble~
After a muffled sound, the explosives exploded, and sure enough, as she had said before, a large amount of rubble flew everywhere under the shock wave of the explosion.
When the smoke cleared, a dim passage appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone carefully followed the passage and entered, and without knowing whether there were traps in the passage, everyone walked slowly.
A few minutes later, another flash of iron fence blocked the way.
Through the iron fence, you can see a room on the opposite side, which is supposed to be the inside of the tower, and in the center of the room is a circular staircase leading downward.
This time, instead of letting Peaches explode through the iron fence, it was opened with a trap.
After entering the room, everyone searched and found that there were no clues, so they resolutely walked down the stairs.
After descending the stairs, they passed through a corridor again, and finally everyone entered a large space.
From the shape, height and decoration of the space, Chen Fan determined that this was in the ground floor hall of the giant tower.
The space was huge, and the crowd dispersed again to find useful clues.
Chen Fan didn't go anywhere else, but walked towards a wall.
As soon as he entered, he saw the statue of St. Dithmas carved into the wall, and he guessed that if there was any clue, it should be there.
Approaching, Chen Fan began to observe.
"Hey, Saint Dethymas, I didn't expect to meet again." Sam said, who came from behind.
"Indeed, there are many more marks, you see." Turning around and glancing at the Reddick brothers who came up, Chen Fan pointed to the emblem on the wall and said.
"Hey~ really, this is Avery's, this is Thomas Tu, then Adam Baldridge, Joseph Farrell, Richard Wante......" Nate confirmed the insignia on the wall one by one.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a total of twelve pirates who formed an alliance here back then, because there are twelve insignia on the wall." Chen Fan guessed.
At this time, as the two of them talked, everyone who was looking for clues gathered over.
"Haha, it looks like it's going to be a big fortune, let's find out what clues are on the statue." Sam said with a look of excitement on his face.
As his brother Sam started fumbling around the statue, Nate stepped forward and started looking for it.
Watching the two Direk brothers groping around with a man's statue, Chen Fan suddenly retreated with a chill.
At this time, Jack suddenly said behind everyone, "You guys step back and see, do all the patterns on the walls add up to a map?" ”
Chen Fan stepped back and took a look, at first glance, it was really like what Jack said.
"You see, the tower we're on is here, and the insignia on it is like the location of the watchtowers we found earlier." Jack pointed to the wall and analyzed.
"Indeed, do you think we are looking for the wrong treasure and the treasure is in a certain tower, not in the town as we thought?" Laura said, looking at the reliefs on the walls.
Just as everyone was analyzing, suddenly a smoking cigarette butt caught Sam's attention.
"Sullivan, I saw you smoking this kind of cigarette just now, did you?" Sam asked, picking up the cigarette butt.
Sullivan looked at Sam when he heard this, "Huh? It's not mine, I'm smoking a cigar. ”
After hearing Sullivan's words, Chen Fan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, "It's not good, we were ambushed." ”
Rumble~
Just as Chen Fan's words fell, a huge explosion startled everyone.
With the sound of the explosion, the entire space was blown up, and for a while everyone dodged the boulder that fell from above.
After the explosion, Chen Fan, who was hiding behind a pillar with his two daughters, saw mercenaries descending from some of the shoreline above the building along the ropes.
Without any nonsense, the two sides directly began to fight, and for a time the entire space was filled with violent gunfire.
Although the other party's ambush was very in place, Chen Fan and the others were caught off guard, but the other party did not know the weapons and equipment of the group, and those who knew had already hung up in the previous battle.
So the current situation between the two sides is that Chen Fan was attacked as soon as he was released, and the other party didn't know the powerful firepower of their side.
Therefore, the two sides came into contact at first glance, although there was a temporary draw.
But Chen Fan and their side quickly reacted and began to effectively cooperate and counterattack.
Compared to these shoreline mercenaries, everyone in the squad is a fierce fighting force.
It's not a perverted superpower like Chen Fan, Laura, and Peach, or a treasure hunter with agility like Nate.
So after getting through the initial panic, a strong combat power was quickly formed, even if these mercenaries with RPGs and grenades had no effect, and the enemy on the opposite side was quickly cleared out by everyone.
After cleaning up the trash fish that had sneaked up, everyone gathered in front of the wall again.
"Everyone's alright, right?" Chen Fan asked with concern.
"David is injured, and he must leave here for treatment, otherwise it is estimated that he will be in danger." Bonnie said nervously as she helped David, who had been shot in the abdomen.
Looking at David who was covering his abdomen, Chen Fan stepped forward quickly, tore open the wounded clothes and looked at it.
The bullet had already penetrated the wound, so there was no need to deal with the warhead, but the two holes in the front and back kept blood from the wound.
He flipped out a bottle of emergency treatment spray and sprayed it on David's wound, and soon the bleeding wound began to scab over.
"Although the bleeding has stopped for the time being, I can't go on the next trip, and I have to go back to treatment and rest." Chen Fan said to Bonnie.
"I'm sorry everyone, it looks like I can only support you for the rest of the trip." David said apologetically with a pale face.
"Say anything, the main thing is that you're okay, and then it's up to us." Jack comforted David.
"It seems that we have to be careful next, although the opponent's combat effectiveness is not as strong as ours, but after all, they have an absolute advantage in numbers, so we still need to be more careful when fighting." Chen Fan said to everyone with a gloomy face.
"It's true that these people are some mercenaries who have no humanity, and they don't need to be polite to each other later." Nate stepped forward and said.
"Okay, now let's start analyzing the clues that were interrupted just now as soon as possible, and then send David back to rest." Chen Fan waved his hand and looked at the wall.
"Hey, do you think this pattern is similar to the one on the gold coins we got before?" Suddenly, Momoko said, pointing to a pirate's insignia.
Seeing this, Chen Fan took out a gold coin and began to compare it.
Not to mention, a scale-like pattern on the gold coin suddenly resembles a scale on the wall.
"But it's very similar to this pattern." Laura also pointed to a pattern on the side and said.
Looking at a trident on the wall, and comparing it with the blurred pattern on the gold coin, I found that the pattern on the gold coin did look somewhat similar.
"Looks like the treasure might be in these two towers." Nate groaned.
"Damn." Sam scolded suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Sullivan asked at him.
"Look at it." Sam spread out a piece of paper in his hand, "This is what I found on these mercenaries, obviously they also found these twelve towers, and they should also know that the treasures are in these towers, plus the other party has so many people." ”
"There's nothing to be discouraged about, at least they don't know exactly where it is, and we've eliminated ten towers, and the other party has to disperse people to twelve towers to search, so we haven't lost much in terms of manpower." Chen Fan patted Sam's shoulder comfortingly.
"Okay, in order to speed up the speed before the other party finds out, it looks like we have to split up into two teams to search." Jack folded his hands helplessly at everyone.
After a deep groan, Chen Fan finally raised his head and said to everyone: "In this way, Bonnie and Simon took David down the mountain to recuperate in that town, and by the way, as backup support, Sam, Sullivanjack and Laura went to a watchtower, and I Peach and Nate went to another tower to look for it." ”
"Okay, but let's go to the town below for one night, it's not too early today." Jack agreed after a moment's thought.
