Chapter 64: The Most Hated Profession
"Are you sure you want to dress like this to go to the desert?"
The sand scorpion looked at the five heavily armed guys in front of him in surprise, although only a pair of eyes were exposed on his whole body, but even so, he could see the surprise in his eyes.
"yes, what's the problem?" Howard happily wiped the assault rifle in his hand, the first time to play with the real guys, a few people were excited to sleep last night, if it wasn't for Li Qingyuan didn't give them bullets for safety reasons, maybe these guys would have started to get over the hook first.
"Okay, if you're happy!" The sand scorpion shrugged helplessly, anyway, his identity was just a guide, and it was the other party's freedom to do whatever the guest wanted.
"Are we going to go on a camel? I really haven't ridden that thing yet! Sheldon asked excitedly.
Not to mention him, none of the five guys present had experience in horseback riding, after all, for modern people, driving is probably a commonplace thing, but horseback riding.
That's really something that only rich people can afford.
"What do you think of Egypt? Are we still living 3,000 years ago? The sand scorpion's tone was a little depressed, and everyone who came to Egypt always asked such a retarded question, which made him unable to complain.
"Let's drive!" He led the group to the parking lot at the back of the hotel, where two old jeeps with high horsepower were parked.
"Driving to the desert?" Several dead houses looked at each other, and there was still this kind of operation?
"Of course, in this day and age, only brain-dead people would think of riding a camel to the desert!" The scorpion nodded, although he didn't say it explicitly, but anyone could know who the brain-dead person he was talking about was.
The camel thing is actually mainly endurance and reliability, and if you really run in the desert, you can't go 200 kilometers a day, which is not as fast as this big jeep.
"Prepare food and water, it's a bit hard to find in that place, we might be in the desert for four or five days!" For modern people, under normal circumstances, as long as they do not seek death by themselves, they can basically ignore the difficulties that the ancients regarded as moats.
It's like the Great Desert!
The two jeeps of the sand scorpion were obviously modified products, and the heavy tires ran extremely smoothly in the desert, which made Li Qingyuan, who was still a little worried, completely relieved.
"Isn't there anyone riding a camel now?" Sheldon sat in the back seat and asked a little unwillingly, this guy originally thought that he could ride a camel out for a tour, and he was excited for a long time.
"Unless you enter a place full of quicksand like the Desert of Death, few people will ride a camel to work in the desert!" The scorpion replied casually with one hand on the steering wheel.
"Oh, quicksand, we're not going to meet it!" Sheldon said nervously.
"I've been searching this desert for seven years, and I know where there is quicksand with my eyes closed, so you don't have to worry!" The sand scorpion said lightly.
"Alright! I'm just kidding, isn't it to make everyone too boring! Sheldon was a little embarrassed.
"Tell Howard to keep up, if this place is lost, I guess he won't be able to get out in his life!" Li Qingyuan sat in the co-pilot's seat, ignored Sheldon's nonsense, and said to Leonard, who was holding the walkie-talkie.
The desert stretched as far as the eye could see, surrounded by golden sand dunes, and although the sand scorpion confidently claimed that he could take them through here with his eyes closed, he didn't think so.
Because no matter how he looked, the scenery around him had never changed, not even the slightest difference, and he didn't know what the other party used as a road sign for reference.
"Rest assured, I'm just an antiquities dealer, and I don't have the determination to kill people and sell goods, and besides, if five Americans die in Egypt, it will become a diplomatic accident, and I don't want to be hunted down by the FBI!" Xu saw that Li Qingyuan was wary of himself, and the sand scorpion said teasingly.
"Oh! All right! Actually, we didn't mean to, it's just that you know that when you go out, you have to guard against it! He was a little embarrassed to be ridiculed, and Li Qingyuan explained a little weakly.
"Understand, just look at your appearance and know that you are not in our business, what do you do?" The sand scorpion nodded slightly, and asked in a homely manner.
"Several of them are professors at Caltech, I'm a graduate student, and we're here to study ancient Egyptian history!"
"Do Americans now like to study the history of ancient Egypt?" The sand scorpion was a little surprised, he thought that these people were selling cultural relics or something, but just now he saw the clumsy performance of these guys, which made him have to wonder, is there such a stupid cultural relics dealer in the world?
And now, after getting Li Qingyuan's reply, he suddenly realized that these were a few nerds!
Thinking of this, the sand scorpion suddenly felt a little excited.
As Li Qingyuan guessed, the guy who dares to make money in the desert has never been something he wants to deal with, and he is naturally no exception.
Although for the sake of safety, Li Qingyuan prepared a full set of American GI equipment for his group, and it seems that the entire team is well-equipped and has strong firepower.
At least, that's what a few of them think in their minds.
Rookies always think that they can be invincible if they take a gun, but they don't know that in the eyes of real veterans, they are completely a joke.
At the very least, the sand scorpion has the self-confidence to settle all these guys with a scimitar.
It's just that now, after learning about the careers of these nerds, he suddenly lost interest.
Ancient Egyptian civilization was founded 5,000 years ago, and the vast desert has buried many treasures and treasures, attracting countless tourists and thieves every year like moths to a fire.
At first, the sand scorpion thought that these guys had seen some business opportunities on that statue, and they did have a little bit of a desire to kill people if they really found a treasure.
But after learning what kind of university professors these rookies were, now he just wants to hurry up and send these troubles to the location and get his share of the guide money.
It is true that in all film and television works, as long as there is a place where a professor appears, there must be countless treasures, but the truth is only known by those who do it.
These nerds are actually the plague gods in the minds of all Taobao people!
They don't have the ability, there are a lot of thieves, and they have a lot of troubles on their bodies, and the sand scorpion joked that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would make trouble for him was just casually talking, but if these rookies are really so-called university professors, then fools know that if the five professors are really killed in Egypt, if the US Secretary of State, who has always been looking for trouble, does not jump out to find a sense of existence, it is even more noticeable than the sun coming out of the west.
And, most importantly!
Ninety-nine percent of the things that these so-called professors are studying are worthless!
