Chapter 40: London
In the evening, Yang Chong once again came to the grave keeper's stronghold in a small town, but at this time people were carrying munitions, and the atmosphere was serious, as if they were going to war.
Yang Chong guessed that he was probably preparing for war with those traitors, after all, after these people learned the knowledge, they even thought about asking for gold, and even killed the elders of the older generation, friendly negotiation was no longer possible, and the next step was to negotiate by force. Zhou Jianfeng was playing with a few German-made tricks in the box on the side, and he was amazed, and it didn't take long for Andy to finally go and return.
"Everyone, after sorting out the news from our people, there is good news and bad news, which one to listen to first?" Andy asked.
"Bad news." Yang Chong and Zhou Jianfeng said in unison.
"Very well, then the bad news is that Immorton's remains have been removed, and the transporter has the Book of the Dead preserved in the tomb of Ramses I, and there is a good chance that Immorton will be resurrected." Andy said, his face solemn.
"And what about the good news?" Zhou Jianfeng asked.
"The good news is that we know where they are." Andy said.
"Where?" Yang Chong asked.
"London, England." Andy said.
Andy's words made Yang Chong and Zhou Jianfeng look at each other and find a map. After seeing it clearly, Yang Chong secretly said in his heart that Andy was really confused, or maybe this was his special funny way of relaxing and nervous. On the world map, the distance from London, England to Egypt is a regular boat plus train and car transfer, more than ten days, when the time is only concerned with finding someone, is it not to miss the mausoleum of the Scorpion Emperor.
Looking at Yang Chong and Zhou Jianfeng's questioning and somewhat withdrawn eyes, Andy suddenly came to his senses, patted his face and said: "Wait, the good news is not this, let me say it again, the good news is that I contacted our friends O'Connor and Evelyn, the two of them conducted an archaeological excavation of the tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh a few days ago, drank the water of the Nile, and returned to London, when I contacted them to tell them about it, O'Connor said that he would help us deal with it, And it showed us a quick way to get to London, which only took no more than three days. ”
"In what way?" Zhou Jianfeng couldn't help but ask.
"By plane." Andy said, and rushed towards the British Royal Airport with Zhou Jianfeng and Yang Chong that night.
As soon as the sky was bright, Yang Chong and Zhou Jianfeng, who were in the dust, woke up from a short sleep on the horse, feeling bad luck in their hearts, originally wanted Andy to use their connections to help him find out about the Demon Scorpion Emperor, but they were involved in these unlucky things.
Zhou Jianfeng muttered in a low voice, "I hope the Book of the Dead can make up for our losses." ”
Andy didn't hear this, but waved his hand forward, and said mentally, "It's here." ”
"Arrived?" Yang Chong wondered if he had heard it wrong. Now there was only one door in front of him, and on either side of the door were two small rooms, and if the wooden sticks made of them could be regarded as doors, then I was not mistaken.
In front of the room, a British soldier leaned against the door with a rifle in his arms and slept in his cage, and a few children herding sheep around and laughing to themselves from time to time, which was probably his only pleasure. Looking into the distance, there was a round table, chairs, an old-fashioned large horn record player, a hole dug in the middle of the round table and a huge parasol, and a fat man who stuffed himself into the seat looked at the rising sun and slowly stirred the coffee.
It's a pity that Yang Chong doesn't think there is any mood in this, Andy probably thinks so, and Immorton's resurrection is just around the corner, Andy hurriedly walked towards the other party, Yang Chong saw clearly that this guy was actually a drunkard who was taken out of his wallet for the first time, his temples were a little gray, and he still had a body shape, and he doubted that the person in front of him was the Air Force.
After some friendly negotiations, Andy's originally indifferent face seemed to bloom when he heard sensitive words such as "stop the demon from resurrecting" and "save the world", and finally heard that if he couldn't get to London within a few days, the world would probably be enslaved, so he immediately got up from his seat.
Winston saluted and said, "Haha, RAF Winston is at your disposal!" ”
Continuing to hold a skeptical attitude, Yang Chong's face changed after seeing Winston's approach. Fat Winston drove the plane, and there was only one seat in the back, which meant that during a long flight, he had to let the other two people be tied to the wings of the plane.
The only thing that made Yang Chong feel comforted was that he was a little heavier, and in order to maintain his balance, he needed to let Zhou Jianfeng and Andy be tied up and enjoy a pleasant air flight.
"I suddenly remembered that there was something else to do, and I didn't want to go." Zhou Jianfeng said, his tone full of reluctance.
"Come less, I said I don't want to go, go in three days and come back in three days, it's a big deal in the middle for another three days, a book of the dead that is not weaker than the original Sun Golden Sutra and the Black Sutra of the Undead has arrived, what else are you not satisfied with?" Yang Chong said as he pulled Zhou Jianfeng to tie it to the wings of the plane, and the unbearable journey began.
Yang Chong had taken a spaceship and also been a plane of the East State Purification Bureau, but he had the feeling that Yang Chong was stable and trustworthy before, and there was no problem even if he jumped out of the plane, but this time Yang Chong listened to the sound of the fan blade engine turning on the plane in his ears, and his heart was extremely unsteady, and he always felt that he was likely to become the next Luo Wu who fell to his death, and was regarded as a laughing stock and negative teaching material among evolutionaries.
With a nervous heart, Yang Chong had a very bad face and refueled and transferred many times on the plane, and when he came to the UK on the third day, he was very entangled.
"We're here." Andy said.
"In three days, I have to go back in three days, and if I don't take a plane, I will have to travel for more than ten days, and I can't catch up with the time." Yang Chong's mouth was fragmented, causing Zhou Jianfeng to take out the thing that was stuffed into his ear to prevent the wind and ask, "What?" ”
"We're here!" Andy thought that Zhou Jianfeng didn't hear clearly, so he said it again.
"Not for you!" Zhou Jianfeng rolled his eyes.
Bidding farewell to Winston, who was physically unable to withstand the spirit but was very good, accepted the blessing of the other party and the invitation to return together a few days later, Yang Chong and Zhou Jianfeng watched Andy find the connector and rushed to a meeting point in the car, Yang Chong was a little curious.
"Aren't we going to meet our old friend O'Connor first?" Yang Chong asked.
"Of course old friends want to see us, but we'd better get some rest until then, and O'Connor will pick us up at his house in the evening." Andy said that his legs were a little weak, which made Yang Chong and Zhou Jianfeng speechless, and thought that his expression remained unchanged along the way, and he didn't panic at all, and his feelings were empty.
Finding Immorton is not an immediate success, and you can only wait patiently.
London is not the sphere of influence of Andy's grave keepers, and the people who excavated Immorton are extremely powerful, although the laborers found a little casually, but when they were transported back to Immorton, they were extremely secretive, and although the other party had the full support of the British army's transportation, even if they were a few days ahead, they might not necessarily have Yang Chong and these people to hurry faster.
Calculating that he had time to go back to find the legend of the Demon Scorpion Emperor, Yang Chong was also a little nervous in his heart, for fear that he would lose more gains because of wasting too much time in this book of the dead. But wasting time in vain to find the legend of the Demon Scorpion Emperor is not so simple, that is, Andy, the current patriarch of the tomb keeper, said that there is no location of the Demon Scorpion Emperor Amsey at all, it is just a legend, and Yang Chong even began to doubt whether there was a Demon Scorpion Emperor.
After a night's rest and forcibly calming themselves, Yang Chong and Zhou Jianfeng waited for their old friends together the next day.
When he saw that O'Connor was wearing a formal suit, but he only pursued comfort without a tie and opened his mind, Yang Chong changed his true face to surprise the other party, and after a hug, he put on an ordinary face and used an excuse to deceive Andy, which really made O'Connor cry out magically.
The child who came with O'Connor was only seven or eight years old, and when he heard Yang Chong lying, he was not afraid but asked more curiously: "Uncle, can you show me your changed face?" ”
"Nope." Yang Chong said with a smile, thinking of the lines he saw when he watched the movie with Zuo Nan, so he borrowed it and said: "It's like a magician's trick, even if you simply know that he is a liar, you can't let anyone know." ”
"It's mysterious, Oriental, it's amazing." The child said as O'Connor stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Alex, and I'm my father's son." ”
"If you weren't your father's son, who else would you be?" Zhou Jianfeng couldn't help laughing, seeing O'Connor, a comrade-in-arms, had a special feeling. At the beginning, everyone was born and died, and at this time, they were able to see the living again, and they were very excited.
After saying a few words, O'Connor looked outside and smiled: "Come, get in my beloved car, and go to my house as a guest, I have asked the chef to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and by the way, discuss the matter of Immorton, and I have some strange questions to talk to you about." ”
"Questions?" Yang Chong was more curious about the question.
"We'll talk about it on the road." O'Connor showed off his car, but unfortunately no one but him knew how to appreciate it.
Andy sat in the co-pilot, looked at the furnishings in the car curiously, and said, "This is the first time I've sat in this kind of car." ”
Yang Chong and Zhou Jianfeng have even done spaceships, and they didn't pay attention to the car, as for O'Connor's son Alex's mystery about the East, he asked Yang Chong and Zhou Jianfeng questions, so that Yang Chong and the two could only deal with it vaguely, and from time to time they cooperated with a mysterious smile when they didn't know, and added a sentence "Only if you look at it, you will know", which simply whetted Alex's appetite.
"Dad, I must go to the East when I grow up!" Alex patted O'Connor's seat in front of him and said.
"If there is no war there, your mother and I will accompany you." O'Connor added, "Remember, there is no war, no war!" ”
As he spoke, the car drove to a small estate on the outskirts of the city, showing that O'Connor and Evelyn also made reasonable use of the gold they had obtained.
Seeing that Evelyn was still studying a few excavated pieces outside the door, O'Connor said helplessly: "My dear, our guests have already arrived, let's study these things later,"
Evelyn still wanted to say a few words, but when she saw Yang Chong, Zhou Jianfeng and Andy, she immediately put away her heart and smiled: "Of course, welcome everyone, welcome to visit our manor, I heard that you have carried out several expeditions before and excavated ......"
O'Connor interrupted Evelyn's curious elongated voice and said, "Honey! ”
"I know, I know, I won't talk about this today, please come in." Evelyn put away the topic and invited everyone to enter.
