Chapter 397: Less for More
After everyone got into the car, Su Man didn't close the car door, and said to everyone: "Only Wan Wan of us has been here, but it is estimated that he will not know the way very well, so let's drive first!" Let's find a map of the city first, and then talk about the rest. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa"
Everyone nodded, and then the car looked for some places with fewer zombies to drive, and after a few turns, they found some local atlases in a supermarket, and Su Man also collected a lot of things that could be eaten and used.
After finding the local map, the team began to look for a place to stay, Cairo must be going, but they don't know how far away from this port is, so they still look for a place to stay first, and then everyone will slowly discuss according to the map.
The car was driving, and several cars were coming from another place, and the people in the car shouted something towards the car of the team.
Su Man turned his head and asked Zhong Tao, "Zhong Tao, what did they say?" β
Zhong Tao replied: "Egypt speaks Arabic, I haven't learned it well, the kind of text like symbols, I can only understand some simple words, just now they were probably asking where we came from." β
"Drifted from the sea, would you say this?" Su Man asked again.
"Well, simple ones are okay, long sentences won't." Zhong Tao shouted at the car outside after saying to Su Man.
Then the men on the other side came down with guns and a few people walked towards the two cars of the team.
Those people stood in front of the car, Su Man vigilantly watched the actions of those people, while Zhong Tao and Wan Haoqi jumped out of the car and said something to those people, from time to time, Zhong Tao and Wan Haoqi discussed with each other before answering.
After a while, Zhong Tao and Wan Haoqi walked back, and those people also walked back towards their car.
"What did they say?" Su Man hurriedly asked.
"They said they were from the Cairo Survivors Base and asked us if we would like to live at the base?" Wan Haoqi replied.
"So it's close to Luo? Otherwise, you won't encounter the squad members of the Survivor Base. Su Man said.
"Hmm. It should be closer, but I didn't ask, and it would be better not to let them know where we are going. Wan Haoqi replied, don't look at Wan Haoqi's usual giggling, but before the end of the world, the family has the power, and the ears and eyes are intimate, and how to deal with people are better than others.
"Well, you're right. Did you turn down their invitation? Su Man nodded in agreement, and then asked again. Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa
"Of course. But they're willing to trade maps and crystals for a little bit of food. Wan Haoqi said again.
"Did they say how to change it?" Su Man is more concerned about this issue.
Wan Haoqi nodded and said, "They said that no matter what kind of food, as long as it is not completely rotten, they will change it, no matter how much they can exchange." I asked them about the purpose of the crystals here, it seems that they are used to strengthen weapons, and they never take these crystals here, so the amount of crystals is abundant. β
"Well, ask them how many crystals they have, and get a map of Egypt except here and Cairo." Su Man said, just thinking about what to exchange for.
Zhong Tao and Wan Haoqi ran over to negotiate with the gang again. Then he returned.
"Vines, they said the crystals could give us three bags, each bag has a hundred. The quality is one pack of red crystals, two packs of yellow crystals, and a dozen scattered green crystals. If we bid the right price, we can give it all to us. Also, there are a lot of maps. It's just that we didn't know the place, so he immediately sent someone to find it. Zhong Tao said to Su Man.
The red nature is the energy crystal produced by the first-order zombies, and the yellow is the product of the second-order zombies, and it is also the natural amount of the general level of zombies now.
And the green one is the product of the third-order zombies. Originally, the number of third-order zombies was relatively small, and not every time they encountered it, they could be killed. Even if it is killed, there will be even less time to get it after killing, so having a dozen of them already shows that the strength of this squad is good.
Su Man nodded: "We want all of these, as well as the surrounding maps, we will give out two bags of flour and five boxes of canned meat and five canned fruits, or you can give them a bag of flour and others first, so that they have a little room for bargaining." β
"Okay vine, you don't care about this, we'll take care of it." After Wan Haoqi finished speaking, he and Zhong Tao walked towards the team again.
The two of them went to discuss with each other, but they didn't expect that a bag of flour and two boxes of canned meat plus two cans of canned fruit would be exchanged for everything.
Su Man didn't know if it was because the crystals were really cheap here, or if the food was already in short supply. But these are not her care, it is naturally better to exchange less for more, although they have a lot of food, but if they have been consuming it and not replenishing it, they will eat it one day.
Put away the crystals in exchange, everyone looked at the map they had exchanged, Wan Haoqi and Zhong Tao had already changed to this side of the car, and while the car was driving forward, several people were discussing the route.
Although you don't have to leave for Cairo today, you can still find accommodation on a more convenient route.
After driving some more distance, I finally found a house in a relatively corner location, and the yard was quite large enough to park the two cars of the team.
got out of the car, cleaned up the zombies that followed outside, and everyone entered the house.
Inspecting the house, he found a zombie of a little girl.
Her thin arms and legs were tied to a stool and locked in the room, presumably because her parents couldn't bear to kill her, so they tied her up and locked her in the room.
However, no matter how she said that she was also a zombie, Su Man raised her hand and smashed a water balloon into the head of the zombie little girl, and then wrapped the corpse in a sheet and threw it out of the yard.
After roughly tidying up the house, Tian Xinyu and Wang Ran went to cook, Su Man took out the map, and Zuo Ning and Gao Zhanbo looked for the route to Cairo together under the translation of Wan Haoqi and Zhong Tao.
The distance from here to Cairo is only about 200 kilometers, and it will take about 2 hours to arrive if you don't count the accidents on the way.
"That's right." After sitting down, Su Man suddenly asked Wan Haoqi, who was inquiring about the route.
"Huh? What's up? Wan Haoqi raised his head and asked.
"Are there any monuments around this Alexandria?" Su Man told Wan Haoqi about his problem.
"Yes, yes, but it shouldn't be what we need." Wan Haoqi replied.
"Oh? What are they? Su Man followed and asked.
"None of them are particularly old, in addition to the Alexandria Lighthouse and the Castle of Gebeil, which was built on the original site, there is also the Montaza Palace, which was the summer residence of the former kings and members of the royal family, so it is also called the summer palace." Wan Haoqi said.
"Oh, isn't it similar to our summer resort in Huaxia Country?" Xuan Yu'er asked from the side.
Wan Haoqi nodded: "It's like that." And Moses? Abu? The Abbas Mosque is also a very beautiful ancient building, but just like the Huaxia Kingdom, the ancient buildings are also divided into time, and these things are built relatively later. β
"Oh, then we won't waste any time, let's go straight to Cairo. But where do we go in Cairo? We'd better look for it in advance, and when we get to Cairo tomorrow, we'll start searching as soon as we have enough time. Su Man said.
"Let's take another look." After Wan Haoqi returned, he took the map to study, but the map will not be marked in too much detail, so he can only look at it roughly.
"We'd better get some books on Greek legends, or a guide." Based on the experience of these searches, Su Man said to Wan Haoqi and them.
"I flipped through it, and I remember that the books given by those people just now seemed to have relevant books in them, and there seemed to be a local guidebook." As he spoke, Zhong Tao flipped through the middle of the book he had just replaced.
After a while, Zhong Tao and Wan Haoqi took a book and said: "Although there are many legends in Greece, they are mainly focused on the pyramids, and we will go directly to the pyramids everywhere tomorrow!" β
Su Man nodded and asked, "Yes, but where is our goal first?" I remember that there were 96 pyramids in Egypt. We have to have a goal first. β
"Judging from the above introduction, we will go directly to the pyramids of Giza." Zhong Tao pointed to a book and said, "We can get to this place by the way." β
"Well, but why haven't I heard of this Giza pyramid, is it famous?" Su Man asked rhetorically.
"The Pyramids of Giza are a general term for a group, not a separate pyramid. The three largest and best-preserved pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex were built by 3 emperors of the Fourth Dynasty, namely the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Hyfra, and the Pyramid of Menkaura. Wan Haoqi explained.
"The Pyramid of Khufu, I've heard of this, it's said to be huge." Su Man then remembered.
"Well, and there are ten pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex, and the location of the pyramids corresponds to the constellation Orion in the sky, and the position of the Nile River is exactly in the position of the Milky Way. Vine, you remember when we were looking for Atlantis earlier, we also mentioned Orion. Wan Haoqi added.
Su Man nodded: "Of course I remember this, when Maya entered that magical cave in the end, the cosmic images we watched seemed to be mentioned in it. β
Zhong Tao added: "Yes, so we think there may be some connection between this. β
"Then it's OK, our first stop tomorrow is here, the Giza pyramids on the outskirts of Cairo." Su Man tapped the position with his slender fingers and said.
