Chapter 221: The Foot of the Volcano
After a long journey, the group finally came to King's Bay and found a nearby town to stay.
In order to better carry out the next adventure, Chen Fan discussed with Jack for a while, and then disbanded everyone to buy some supplies.
After one night, the next day everyone gathered at the agreed place.
"It's the best car we've ever bought in the neighborhood." Simon pointed to three old SUVs parked in front of everyone.
Chen Fan glanced at it and waved his hand indifferently, "Don't care about this, after all, in this kind of place, it is very good to be able to use this kind of transportation." ”
The group then drove out of town towards the volcano in the distance.
After several hours of bumpy journey, the group finally reached the foot of the volcano.
"How?" After stopping the car, Jack turned to look at David.
"No, there's no signal here," David shook his head.
Looking at the towering volcano in the distance, Chen Fan said with a smile: "In fact, you must also use satellite maps, you must know that whether it is in ancient times or our exploration, many times we do not rely on satellites and these equipment." ”
At this time, Nate, who had spent two days with Chen Fan and the others, took out a map from his pocket and spread it out, "Yes, it seems that it is still necessary for me to prepare in advance." ”
"By the way, where did you get this map?" Sam looked at his brother's map in amazement.
"I bought it in the town before, and the locals explored the area, so they drew a map." Nate studied the map without looking up.
Nate then pointed to the map he had marked and said, "We're in this position, and following this path should get us to the other side of the volcano." ”
"In that case, let's go quickly, hoping to get there before dark, it's a terrible road." After hearing this, Momoko urged everyone.
Immediately, the group got into the car again, and drove towards the volcano under the leadership of Nate.
During the journey, Bonnie asked in confusion in the communication, "By the way, how can we find the clue?" ”
"It's very simple, the map I just had shows all the buildings near the volcano, including some abandoned outposts and some watchtowers." Nate explained.
"Watchtower? Why build a watchtower in such a place? David wondered.
"Actually, this is very easy to explain, if Avery really had any bases here in that era, as the world's most wanted criminal, he naturally needs to set up a sentry post in his hiding place, and these watchtowers need people to let the wind out, so we search along the watchtowers, and there will definitely be clues we need." Laura smiled and cleared everyone's questions.
"I see, it looks like we still need to work hard for a while, this treasure is not easy to take." Sam joked.
"If the treasure is so easy to find, then what is the fun of adventure, only following the clues that have been painstakingly found to discover the treasure is the real fun." Chen Fan said with a smile.
"Haha, yes, it's all fun." Jack hugged Nicole who was sitting on top of him and laughed.
After that, the group talked and laughed, and the volcano got closer and closer.
And there are more abandoned buildings around, which are naturally the outpost buildings that Nate mentioned earlier.
After parking the car, everyone got out of the car and began to disperse in twos and threes to look for clues.
However, after some searching, there were no key discoveries, but everyone found that there were still many people in this place who followed clues to discover Avery's treasure before everyone else, but it was clear that they did not succeed in the end.
As you get closer to the volcano, the road becomes more and more muddy, but the surroundings are truly beautiful.
Therefore, several women in the team suddenly forgot the purpose of this visit, and began to comment on these beautiful scenery, and from time to time they were amazed by some rare scenery.
For the three drivers, this road is not a road at all, and they need to be on high alert at all times to prevent the car from driving under a cliff or getting stuck in a quagmire.
But fortunately, although the car is a second-hand car, the quality is still quite good, and it still drives straight ahead in this pristine terrain.
"Look, there's a wheel print in that place." Suddenly, Momoko, who had been enjoying the scenery, pointed in one direction and shouted.
Looking in the direction that Peaches pointed, Chen Fan really saw some ruts left by the car.
After Simon, who was driving, parked the car on the edge of the rut, Chen Fan got out of the car and began to observe nearby, "These wheel prints look like they were left not long ago, and it seems that someone has been here before us." ”
"Looks like we have another competitor." Old Man Sullivan sighed.
"Isn't that great? That's the fun of adventure. Laura laughed.
After a few adventures, Laura was now fully engaged in the adventure.
Looking at Laura, who was excited, Chen Fanyao thought about when Laura first landed on Yamatai many years ago, at that time she was still a girl who had just graduated, and at the invitation of her best friend Shamansha, she went down to find the mysterious Dragon Triangle, and finally came to Yamatai by mistake due to the storm.
Laura embarked on her first adventure, and she transformed from a weak little girl into a qualified female warrior.
"Chen Fan, Chen Fan." A voice interrupted Chen Fan's musings.
Turning his head to look, it turned out to be Jack, only to see him open his mouth and say to himself, "What were you thinking just now?" Hurry up and get in the car, someone is already ahead of us, so let's go as soon as possible. ”
After getting into the car, Chen Fan said to everyone: "Don't be in a hurry, since so many people came here before and didn't find the treasure, it is naturally not so easy to find." ”
After Chen Fan got into the car again, soon, the car came to the halfway point of this mountain.
After climbing a hill, Sam shouted from the front Chenet, "Look, there's a watchtower over there." ”
"Let's go over and take a look, maybe there's a clue." Chen Fan instructed everyone.
The car quickly reached the vicinity of the watchtower.
After parking the car, the group climbed up the dilapidated watchtower.
After some searching, Bonnie and Nicole really found some clues.
With the call of the two women, the group came to the top of the watchtower.
Looking at the strange pattern carved on the ground, everyone was confused and had no idea what it was.
"The two of us also looked at this pattern a little strangely, so I asked you to come up and take a look." Nicole said to the crowd.
"This is the mark of Christopher Condent, captain of the Flame Dragon, who haunted Madagascar in Avery's time." Obviously, Nate was very experienced in the study of pirates, and he could see at a glance what the pattern meant and the corresponding characters.
"What are you talking about, Christopher, could it be that Avery recruited his companions?" Chen Fan said thoughtfully.
"Maybe it's true, maybe among the people that Avery recruits, the leader of each team has a pattern that he represents." Laura said according to Chen Fan's speculation.
"This is the first watchtower we've found, just look at the watchtowers that follow to see if they have similar patterns on them, and maybe we can find clues based on those patterns." Jack also had his opinion.
Walk down the watchtower with everyone saying a word.
After getting into the car, the group drove towards the mountain again.
The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, although everyone looked at the volcano before it was not far away, but after driving over a mountain, everyone found that the volcano was still so far away.
At this time, several women in the car have already enjoyed enough of the scenery, after all, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, there are times when they are tired of seeing, and they are already complaining about the bumpy road.
Rumble~~
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard in the distance.
Nate, who was at the front, quickly braked hard and stopped the car.
The two cars then stopped, and everyone got out of the car and gathered together.
"This must be the guy we saw leaving the wheel prints before." Jack looked at everyone solemnly.
Chen Fan picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of the explosion.
Fortunately, the field of vision here is very broad, and Chen Fan can easily see those who are blasting.
"What's the situation? Do you see each other? Peaches asked, looking at Chen Fan.
"Some soldiers, look like mercenaries." Chen Fan said.
"Natien and her coastline?" Sam then asked.
"Yes, I saw the logo on their clothes." Chen Fan said as he handed the telescope to Jack.
"Damn, how do they know here?" Sullivan said angrily.
"Maybe Nadine saw the map in that hall before, so she followed the clue and found it." Chen Fan solved Sullivan's doubts.
"Later, I guess we're going to fight, and the only bridge that passed from here was occupied by the other side." On the side, Jack put down his binoculars and looked at the crowd.
"Okay, I'm going to have to end up with them sooner or later." Chen Fan smiled slightly, and then took out a large bag from the back of the car he was sitting in.
Unzipping the bag, Chen Fan lifted it away and said with a smile, "In the bag are some weapons I have prepared, which are definitely much easier to use than those ordinary ones." ”
"Wow~ What kind of gun is this? Such a sense of technology! Nate pulled out a very streamlined pistol and shouted.
"That's good, but how do you use it?" Sam picked up a rifle-like firearm.
While the rest of the team was picking up their weapons, the Momoko girls began to equip their own weapons.
Laura's side, Elise's voice came to her head: "Laura, do you need my help in the fight?" ”
"No, it shouldn't be a difficult battle, the other side is some ordinary people." Laura said to Elise with her head in the distance.
"Oh, then you're busy, I'll go back to sleep, and call me if you need to." Elise muttered a sentence and disappeared into Laura's mind.
Long before the action, Elise had already integrated into Laura's body, and since Laura said that she didn't need help in this battle, Elise was naturally happy to sleep easily.
"Oh my God, where did you get all these advanced weapons? I don't think the most advanced United States in the world can come up with such a weapon, right? ”
The others who had never used the weapons provided by Chen Fan were amazed after Chen Fan's introduction and usage.
"These Gauss weapons have not been circulated in the world, and they are seen to be some experimental products, but they are very powerful, so after this operation, I hope everyone can keep this secret." Chen Fan said to everyone with a smile.
"Don't worry, we're definitely not going to say it."
"Oh my God, I'm glad I had the opportunity to try out these weapons, I don't care about the rest."
"With these weapons, I think those shoreline mercenaries will definitely be beaten by us in a while."
Amid everyone's discussions, the heavily armed team began to march towards the stronghold that had been occupied by the other side.
