Chapter 172: The Slave Market
This time, Jack Chen accepted the commission of the United Nations and led a team to find the gold hidden in the desert by Nazi Germany, and the reward was 1% of the gold hidden.
Of course, the one percent share seems to be a small amount, but because of the huge amount of reserves, he can still get two and a half tons of gold, which is not less.
Originally, everyone was safe all the way, and it seemed that they would arrive at the base location shown on the map in another day, but who would have thought that there would be horse bandits to attack at night!
Although even the bald man Voltaire already knew that the horse bandits in the desert were very likely to invest in Khan Khan, but for Jack Chen, he really didn't know.
After all, the fact that the United Nations traitor sold the news has now caused a stir in the treasure hunting circles all over the world, and the only thing to hide is probably him.
Although official channels are sometimes very convenient and fast, they are not comparable to some private channels in terms of concealment.
Especially in a place like the United Nations, which has been leaked into a sieve by the major powers, it is impossible to keep any secrets.
The two women captured by the bandits this time were Zheng Anda, an expert in deserts and geography in the team, and Elsa, the only great-granddaughter of the Nazi officer who buried the gold.
Zheng Aida is the official liaison officer appointed by the United Nations, and Elsa is meritorious in giving the map and key, so the United Nations allows her to travel with the team, and she can also take a part of the gold as a reward there.
Therefore, these two women are not to be lost.
"Momoko, what is this place?" Jack Chen looked at the abandoned ancient city in front of him and asked the Japanese girl beside him.
This girl named Momoko is a Japanese girl who came to practice, and she doesn't know that nerve is wrong, and she actually came to the Death Desert to practice alone, and she really doesn't know whether she is alive or dead.
However, the other party's familiarity with the desert was beyond everyone's expectations, and if it weren't for Peach's familiarity with this terrain of the horse bandits' raid, they would really be blind.
"This is the remnants of an ancient country, but now it has become a slave market." Momoko said with a little anger.
Slaves may be hard to imagine in flower growers, the United States, or even Europe, but in South America, Black Africa, and even some parts of the Middle East, they are a real group of people.
As the king of horse bandits in the entire Death Desert, Kudu Khan naturally needed a market to sell his looted goods and buy some necessary supplies, and the ruins of this ancient city were the places he used to trade.
"You're saying that Anda and Elsa will be sold as slaves?" Jack Chen asked with some uncertainty.
"I don't know what those horse bandits are holding them for, but beautiful women like the two of them are worth a lot in the desert." Peach frowned and said.
For this kind of thing of arresting women and selling them as slaves, she, as a woman, naturally hates it, but she is alone, and it is already a blessing to be able to save herself in the desert, and it is naturally a fool's dream to destroy this place.
"Looks like there's a lot of people in there!" Jack Chen looked at the ruins in front of him with a telescope, although everyone hid in the tent during the day and did not come out, but it can be seen from the number of tents that there are at least a few hundred people inside.
"Then I don't know, this place is a forbidden area in the desert, and I've never been to it before." Peaches spread her hands directly, if she was a lone girl and entered that place, it is estimated that she would not have much chance to come out again in this life.
"Jack, what are we going to do?" Behind Jack Chen, several Interpol officers who didn't know whether it was a bodyguard or a surveillance officer asked.
"Wait until it's dark! We must rescue Anda and Elsa. Jack Chen looked at the sun a little speechlessly, why hasn't this guy set yet?
Of course, it is very difficult for the twenty of them to rescue two women out of a few hundred, but these people are all elites selected from all over the world, and if it weren't for those people who were caught off guard last night and suddenly sweated, it is really hard to say that they want to take advantage of them.
"What are they doing?" Four or five kilometers behind Jack Chen, several heads were emerging from the sand dunes.
Li Qingyuan looked at the group of people in front of him through the telescope and asked with some confusion.
The flower planter who looked to be in his thirties and looked a little handsome should be the so-called Asian Flying Eagle, and there were more than a dozen people standing around him, and they didn't know what they were doing.
"They're all masters!" Voltaire looked at the group standing below, and sighed.
Master?
Li Qingyuan looked at the bald guy with some doubts, this guy was so far away, even through the telescope, he could only see a rough outline, how could he see that those people were masters?
"These people are very particular about how they stand, and the distance between each person is about five meters, which not only ensures that they will never be caught by the enemy, but also can quickly provide assistance in case of emergencies." The bearded Thrawn ran over Barrett in his hand to the heads of the people below before speaking.
And this kind of operation?
Master Li immediately looked carefully according to what the other party said, and only then did he realize that sure enough, as Suo Long said, the distance between each of the people in the positions of these people was about the same, unless it was a medium-range missile with a large yield, or even if more than a dozen people held bazookas and fired together, they would not want to kill all the people below at once.
This kind of action of maintaining the highest combat readiness at all times should have become an instinct in their bodies, no wonder Voltaire would rather take a risk than pull himself in.
After all, relying on their team alone, even if it is a sneak attack, it is estimated that they will be counter-killed by the other party.
"This is the stronghold of Kudu Khan, what is that Flying Eagle guy bringing people here?" Voltaire said with a little confusion.
Although Jack Chen, the Asian Flying Eagle, is famous, but because this guy is somewhat similar to ancient thieves, he has always had a good relationship with the official.
On the contrary, this guy's reputation in the underworld is not good, after all, everyone who comes out to do this business is to trade with their heads pinned to their belts, and as a result, this guy often loses his money, of course, he belongs to that kind of unpopular character.
If it weren't for his excellent skills and super skills, it is estimated that he would have been slaughtered by the brothers who did not like him.
"What does this colony do?" Li Qingyuan looked at the colorful tent next to the ruins and asked.
They had been walking in the desert for three days in a row, and it was not surprising that they suddenly saw such a building that resembled a market town
