Chapter 17: The Stone Sword

I pointed to the violently shaking mountain and said, "You don't want to be buried here with us, do you?" "From time to time, large rocks rolled down the top of the mountain, and rolled down the slope for a long time. There was a crowd of people watching in the distance, and a few people were injured by large rocks before they could dodge. Listening to the screams in the distance, Simon retreated first, and he beckoned his men to leave quickly.

I looked at the wolffang's uncertain face and smiled, "Why don't you leave?" Do you want to fight us? I waved my hand, and the men raised their guns and chased after them. Seventeen of us had guns, twice as many as them. Wolf Fang looked at us fiercely for a moment and said, "Let's go." With that, they turned and walked away.

Watching them walk away, I hurriedly said, "Let's get out of here too, hurry up, we can't stay here anymore, we go back to Cairo, we can't stay here anymore." Fuck, the guerrillas and mercenaries will definitely not leave it like this, they will block us on the road. If a gemstone of this size were to be auctioned, each one would fetch millions of dollars. With a bit of luck, tens of millions of dollars are also possible. The guerrillas and mercenaries will definitely remember it, more than 40 gems are hundreds of millions.

We left quickly, and the mountain behind us was still breaking, and it seemed that this mountain peak could not be saved. When I came to the parking place, the car was blown up. No need to ask, it must have been Simon or Wolf Tooth. They want to leave us in the desert and then slowly look for us. It seems that they also feel powerless about our mobility.

I didn't know it was a truck from that team, so we didn't say a word, just drove and left. For Roll and Wang Zongjun and Liu Qiang, there is not much difference between having a key or not. We went back to the cave and waited for Wang Zongjun and Liu Qiang to bring the four barrels of diesel, but there was no water. So much water was ruined along with the car, these bastards, it's so ruthless.

I looked at the crowd and asked, "How much water do you have?" ”

Everyone shook their heads and said, "There isn't much, maybe half of the kettle is still in it." I nodded, half of the water, enough for 500 ml, should be able to support two days. Leng Feng said: "I still have two bottles here. I nodded and said, "It seems that you are a rich man, Qin Tai, what about you?" Qin Tai shook his head and said, "Our equipment has been taken away by the guerrillas, and there is nothing left on us. The backpack is also empty. There were a few bottles, but they were all empty. ”

I nodded and said, "Leng Feng, give them two bottles of water." Qin Tai, you also heard, we don't have much water, save a little, maybe a sip of water can save a life. At this time, no one will help you. Qin Tai nodded and hurriedly said, "I know, I know." Gently took the water given by Leng Feng, and looked cautious as if he was holding a baby.

Li Zhiming said: "It's a pity that those cars, it took a lot of effort." ”

Ye Simin said: "Okay, don't be sad, a gem will be exchanged back." ”

I shook my head to myself, there was no comparison, there was water in the cart, and although the precious stones were valuable, they could not quench my thirst. Water is the most valuable thing in the desert. I knocked on the window, and Wang Zongjun poked his head out and asked, "Boss, what's the matter?" I pointed to the sun and said, "Drive northeast through Libya to Egypt." Wang Zongjun nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

The truck costs fuel, but we have four barrels, which are definitely enough to reach Egypt. There are no big rocks or anything like that in Libya, but the sand dunes are very tall. It is very difficult for trucks to walk in such places. We inquired locally and said that it was straight to the north and there was a road along the coast. And there are rivers too. We decided to go straight north.

The bonfire was lit in the evening, and everyone was more relaxed. The guerrillas are from South Sudan and should not come to Libya to attack us. There are only eight people left in the mercenary organization of Wolffang, and I think he needs to pay attention to how to escape the siege of other mercenary organizations, let alone take care of us. So we should say it's safe.

But what we don't know is that a wanted warrant has been circulated in the desert, issued by mercenaries. They said we got Rommel's treasure and they only wanted our people, not the treasure. Fuck, this bastard with wolf fangs, still doesn't give up. By the time we got this information, we were already stuck behind a sand dune by al-Qaeda in Libya.

In the end, a war was inevitable, and we fled westward in disarray. Now everyone in the desert knows that we are going to Egypt, this is what General Simon himself said. For his words, various organizations still believe it.

Gao Yanan looked at the map and said, "Egypt can't go, let's go to Morocco." From here, head straight west. ”

We traveled overnight towards Morocco. All the mercenaries, guerrillas and expeditions of all stripes are coming towards us. When I left Libya, I finally met a team that was friendly to us. They are members of the international tomb robbery syndicate, and they are very familiar with Qin Tai. They are the same as Yakesi, except that they are in charge of African affairs. Qin Tai followed them directly, leaving us a box of pure water before leaving.

Looking at these twenty-four bottles of pure water, we also nodded, Qin Tai knew this person from the ancient ruins of Mount Tai, and almost died in his hands several times. However, as the old saying goes, if you don't fight, you won't know each other. Since Amazon, I have become a friend I can rely on. You can safely hand over your back to his friend. Although Qin Tai is very profitable, he also repays those who have been kind to him. can be regarded as a person with a surname.

Qin Tai is gone, and it may be up to us in the future. Although Qin Tai caused the disaster this time, we did not hold grudges, but had a very exciting feeling. It may be that I have been exploring for a long time in the past two years, and my life has become more and more boring, but I hope for more excitement. I don't know if there's something wrong with our mentality, but now I really want to vent well.

Heaven was as good as we wished, and a mercenary army caught up with us. There is no need for verbal explanations, and the encounter is directly followed by a bullet to speak. Since they were ambushes, we were caught off guard and pinned down behind the truck. Here is a canyon where they lurk on the hills on either side. If it weren't for Liu Qiang's misfire and leading them out, I'm afraid we would have fallen even deeper, and there would not even be a place to hide by then. Although it is also at a disadvantage now, it can still be resisted in the back of the truck.

The truck was completely damaged in the fierce battle. Not only did the wheels break, but the fuel tank also leaked. We divided the box of pure water, put it in our backpack, and slowly withdrew backwards. The truck also caught fire during the fighting. We knew this was going to happen when we saw the fuel tank leaking, but when we looked at the truck in flames, we were still very reluctant to give up. There are still six or seven hundred kilometers to go from Morocco, and we have to walk. Walking in the desert is very strenuous, and your feet often get stuck in the sand. These are not scary, but the scary thing is that the sand in your shoes will make you notice blisters on your feet before you know it. Although it hurts, you don't dare to break it, if you do, the sand will make you dare not walk in pain.

We didn't come out this time without special forces sand boots, which were too heavy and too tiring to walk. It was enough to pass through the Taklamakan Desert, but I didn't expect it to be a mistake this time. Things happened so suddenly that we were caught in the whirlpool of the storm without any mental preparation. From the beginning of entering the desert, every day is to be chased and killed.

We withdrew suddenly, and the mercenaries waited for a long time before they began to pursue, and they were also afraid of being ambushed by us. Because there is no particularly good terrain in the desert, if nothing else, the ambushed side will generally have no power to fight back, and will be suppressed by the other party to the death. Our escape was a pure accident, and the probability of such a situation in ambush warfare would not be higher than 1 in 10,000. You can see how good our luck is.

Suddenly there was a 'buzzing' sound in the air, and we knew what it was. We encountered it in the Amazon jungle. We chose a small sand dune and buried ourselves in the sand, exposing only one mouth to breathe. This trick really deceived the plane. We heard the plane fly over us four times, and finally departed far away.

We held back the ** that came out and waited quietly for the mercenaries to arrive. In the case of helicopter gunships in the sky, if there are pursuers behind us, it will be too dangerous for us to leave the country. So, the purpose of our waiting is to eliminate the pursuing mercenaries. If we don't have any worries, it's much easier for us to escape. What about helicopter gunships, a sniper bullet can make him disappear.

Because there were helicopter gunships in front of them, the mercenaries were really defenseless, and we were caught off guard, leaving more than 30 corpses on the spot, and only seven or eight people escaped. We looked at the loot in front of us and were very excited. Finally got a car. These cars were off-road jeeps, and we picked four of them in better condition, and got on them and headed for Morocco.

At the beginning, the helicopter gunship returned, and it passed without the slightest stop. Gao Yanan said: "That helicopter gunship treats us as mercenaries, so it's okay, we can speed up." "Just two or three kilometers away, the helicopter gunship came back and opened fire when it saw us. Damn, the fight just now really shouldn't have let those people go, they caused trouble.

Gao Yanan picked up the gun, loaded the scope, and kept firing back from the window. The helicopter gunship finally went away in black smoke, but our jeep was scrapped with two more. There were seventeen of us, and we couldn't sit down. You can tuck it in, but you can't see the road ahead.

We put our gear in the car and walked slowly. It's also much easier than carrying gear on your back. Except for the guns we carried, we were a bunch of tourists. In the past two years, the number of tourists in the Sahara Desert has increased, and many people have come here to experience life. You say, risking death to experience life, isn't it enough to be fed?

We met another one, a corpse to be exact. Gao Ping rummaged through his backpack, and there were really a lot of things in it. But there was only one thing missing from it, and he was here forever.

Gao Ping handed me a map and said, "Boss, look, there is Death Canyon not far ahead, I don't know what is in it?" I looked at the map and said, "It seems that he hasn't reached Death Canyon yet, it's only a dozen kilometers away, and it's a pity that he died of thirst like this." ”

Gao Yanan pointed to the notebook in Gao Ping's hand and asked, "Gao Gao Ping, what is that?" Gao Ping raised the book in his hand and said, "It's a record." ”

We flipped through the book and learned that he had come for Rommel's treasure. After Rommel's soldiers buried the treasure, they were attacked by the French [***] team on the way back, and their soldiers were killed. The man's father was a war correspondent who witnessed the whole process. He wrote down the whole thing, and when he was sorting through his father's belongings, he found the notes left by his father, and then he followed the place he had said.

We looked through the yellowed old book, which should have been written by this man's father. There are some details in the narrative, which describe the gratifying expressions of the characters at that time vividly. It seems that in this book, we are also convinced that Rommel's treasure is hidden in Death Canyon.

Lu Liang looked at everyone and asked, "Shall we go and get Rommel's treasure out?" Even after handing over to the state, the reward given to us by the state can make us a rich man. That's say, tsk, tsk. Lu Liang smacked his lips, his eyes shining, like a beast about to pounce.

Ye Simin couldn't help but hit him and said, "Lu Liang, you don't want to die?" It's called Death Canyon. Death Canyon, how dare you go in? Ye Simin smiled evilly, "If you dare to go in, I will follow you behind." ”

Lu Liang screamed and said, "Damn, you let Lao Tzu be cannon fodder?" You want to be beautiful. We all burst into laughter.

Gao Yanan said: "I think, let's get around here." ”

Leng Feng also said, "Yes, get around here." It's too dangerous there. She said with trepidation, "It's a good thing to meet this person, otherwise we would have plunged into it." He died unjustly at that time. As a token of appreciation, let's bury it. We nodded, took out our sabers, dug a pit, and put the dried corpses in.

Zhang Qian bent down to pick up something and died: "Boss, isn't this your thing?" How is it here? "It's a little sword, made of stone. I looked at it, touched my backpack, shook my head and said, "Mine is still in the backpack." With that, I opened my backpack and took out the small sword, and compared the two of them, they were exactly the same.

Lu Liang's eyes widened and said, "Could it be that this is also the key?" How many keys are there? I think when I was in Amazon, there was a guy who said that keys are arrows, stones, arrows. ”

I nodded and said, "I know, maybe it's not a place." Maybe it's the need for all kinds of small swords, and several. Zhang Qian handed it to me and said, "Boss, give it to you, you can take it together." It's useless for me to take it. I nodded, silently taking the sword, guessing in my heart what it was for. Where is this? Where do you need this to turn on?

Gao Yanan said: "Professor Shui, we have to pay attention to it in the future, since it is an indigenous holy relic, I think there must be a place of need, which we have not discovered yet." Only the use will come in handy. ”

I nodded, carefully tucked the little sword into my backpack, and said, "We still have a lot of places to go." I ......" suddenly moved in my heart, "you say, these two little swords are the keys to the Mayan relics?" The things we have been looking for from the ancient civilization of the Mayans, you say, will it be necessary to open it? ”

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, Gao Yanan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Professor Shui, I admire you so much, do you really dare to think about anything?" Your jumping surname thinking is too thunderous. However, you may be right. It's just that there's no way to prove it now. ”

I shook my head and smiled: "What is the jumping surname thinking, I just think more than you, think a little deeper." Just like playing chess, every extra move you think about, you have to consider the opponent's countless countermeasures. I had the same in mind, and when I added everything I could to think about, some new ideas naturally appeared. You can do it too. ”

Lu Liang said with a smile: "Forget it, if there is anything you say, let's just do it, why do you spend so much effort?" Don't you know that people who work hard are not comfortable living, and their physical condition is not good, and what is worse is that mental activity requires a lot of protein, and our countries of action have never provided us with protein supplements. So I still want to spend less brain power and keep my hair healthy and long. By the way, I remembered, Li Meiting said that if you don't supplement enough protein, you are prone to infertility. Especially men. “

Li Meiting said shamefully: "Lu Liang, what nonsense are you talking about." Lu Liang looked at Li Meiting with an innocent face and said, "Isn't this what you told me?" Three omelettes every morning, you eat yellow, I eat egg white. You say let me supplement protein. ”

We laughed out loud, and Leng Feng said with a smile: "Lu Liang, Li Meiting lied to you." The best way to supplement protein is to eat tofu or soy products, the protein in eggs is high-quality protein, but the body cannot effectively absorb it. Especially the omelette. Li Meiting is for the nutrients in the egg yolk, such as vitamins A, E, D, iron, zinc, phosphorus, and amino acids. It's just that he doesn't like to eat egg white, so he tricks you into eating more. ”

Lu Liang looked at Li Meiting and said, "Mei Ting, what he said is true?" ”

Yu Qian said: "Lu Liang, what's wrong with you, you believe everything others say?" Li Meiting is right. What he said was true. Li Meiting smiled gratefully and said, "That's it, Yu Qian is a military doctor, he can still lie to you." But Yu Qian's next sentence was Li Meiting, who couldn't cry or laugh. (To be continued.) )
