Chapter 63: City of the Dead (Part 2)
"File box." What Zhang Ye cared about was not that carload of rare materials.
Hearing this, the man hurriedly unwrapped the package on the side, and handed the iron box in it to Zhang Ye tremblingly.
Zhang Ye took the iron box and sensed it with his telekinesis, confirming that the contents were as stated on the previous note.
The couple didn't dare to say anything when Zhang Ye observed the box, they looked at Zhang Ye with fear, and the previous despair disappeared due to the appearance of the "life-saving straw", and they prayed that Zhang Ye would take the box and leave.
But Zhang Ye disappointed them, he said: "You have sacrificed so many families for your own family, I can't just forget it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ye swung his sword and cut off their heads in the midst of their howls, which was the greatest mercy for them, if they were handed over to those who had been tortured by the fake medicine they had made, then death would be their only luxury.
Zhang Ye, who slaughtered an entire convoy, after killing the last two people, used the last vitality to release the tongues of fire while leaving the convoy.
The fire quickly consumed everything, and when the flames were extinguished, everything was nothing more than dust that disappeared with the wind.
Leaving the convoy that gradually disappeared in the sea of fire, Zhang Ye did not rush to the city of the dead, he found a decent hiding spot nearby, and opened the file box there, wanting to know more about the "Dawn" project, as well as the city of the dead and the rebel priests.
This process didn't take long, even if those documents were not stored in crystal balls, Zhang Ye's body that was now beyond the limits of human beings was still unforgettable, so he quickly made a summary.
First of all, the city of the dead in Egypt, the "hotbed of plagues", was actually the original birthplace of the Ominous Eyes, where the Pharaoh Tutankhamun controlled a group of loyal Assassins, but after Tutankhamun's death, the Ominous Eyes, who were considered his henchmen, were expelled by the new Pharaoh.
However, the new old man found that the city of the dead had already "recognized the lord", and he could not obtain the power that belonged to the ominous eye in it, or even enter it, but he did not give up, he thought that if he could not get those treasures, then he would have to destroy them.
So he ordered the priests to join forces to unleash their great power, and then the city of the dead sank in the sea of sand and disappeared from this world.
He succeeded, and he made it impossible for even the Assassins of the Ominous Eye to return there, to draw power from the souls of their ancestors.
As for the history of the development of the Ominous Eye Clan after that, Zhang Ye did not look closely, and his attention was quickly attracted by the "Dawn" plan of the rebellious priests.
According to the documents in the "file box", some of the rebellious priests were descendants of the priests who were tasked with sinking the City of the Dead, so they learned from the secret history of the family why the City of the Dead was obsessed with the pharaoh in the first place.
There is only one reason, the City of the Dead does have an artifact that makes people immortal and gain the power to control life and death, which is confirmed to exist, and this artifact is also one of the main goals of the rebel priests, and it is also an excellent sacrifice they offer to the king of the realm, their gods, in order to gain the power to rule the world.
These rebel priests are Hangan to put it bluntly, but they are more advanced, they think that the arrival of the king of the world is to change the world and make the world better, as for the plague, it is only bad when people think it is bad, for the rebel priests, the plague is like a holy light, not only to wash away all the filth in the world, but also to allow people to evolve.
But the kings of the realm had a high vision, and ordinary sacrifices did not satisfy them, so the rebel priests first offered Cairo and then the artifact, as well as all their souls, flesh, bones, everything, just to be able to welcome the first dawn of the new world with them.
And that artifact is also the core of the "Dawn" project, because it is the last sacrifice that the kings of the realm designate.
In order to please the kings of the realm, the rebel priests successfully found and entered the city of the dead through the knowledge left by their ancestors, but there was a large number of masterpieces of the ominous eyes and the spirits of their ancestors, frantically hindering them.
Because of the obstacles encountered, the rebel priests began to think of other ways to go deep into the City of the Dead, and they planned to use a large amount of various materials to craft a weapon, a weapon of wide destruction combined with the power of the King of the Realm.
The exact weapon is not stated in the intelligence documents, but it is mentioned that it is currently unfinished, and it can clear most of the resistance in the city of the dead, as long as the convoy just arrived successfully, it will definitely be able to clear all the resistance forces overnight, and get the last sacrifice to be sacrificed to the king of the realm, the artifact.
As for the location of the weapon, it was also clearly written in the intelligence documents, because the convoy just now had to deliver the supplies directly to the location of the weapon, and it was not eligible to enter other areas of the City of the Dead.
At this point, Zhang Ye knew most of the content of the "Dawn" plan, and naturally knew how to deal with it.
So he put away the "file box", and after recovering all his vitality, he took advantage of the night to speed all the way to the city of the dead three kilometers away.
And when Zhang Ye arrived at a huge excavation site, he looked at the only entrance to the City of the Dead in the center and the three outer layers of defense troops around it, and he knew that he had to blend into the shadows again, otherwise once the battle started, those fanatics might directly destroy the only entrance.
It's just that it doesn't feel good to blend into the shadows again, after all, I just experienced that night not long ago, but no matter what Zhang Ye thinks, the most effective way is always the best way, but this time, in the face of more than half of the defense troops of ordinary people, Zhang Ye doesn't have to use "Yuanmu" all the time.
Just like a stealth game, Zhang Ye thought that indeed, the stabbing customer service plus telekinesis and vitality, as well as the long-term "training" in Silent Hill, allowed Zhang Ye to master the skills of stealth action.
Once again, he walked silently in the shadows, piercing the heart of the guards with his original sword at every right moment, without being discovered by others, but unlike when the settlement was abandoned, not a single corpse was hidden by Zhang Ye during this hunt under the cover of night.
The people who excavated the site soon noticed the disappearance of people one after another, and they became vigilant and intensified patrols, and also changed from patrolling a certain area alone to at least three people patrolling together, which made Zhang Ye's assassination more difficult.
It is also completely different from the game, in which no one can be left until the last person falls, but in reality, as long as the number of missing people is large, the enemy will immediately become vigilant and try their best to prevent assassination.
However, Zhang Ye still has his own way, and he has already thought of this, so he always opens his "source eye" when aiming at his prey, and then directly modifies the space, so that they can only watch their bodies farther away......
The uneasiness and panic spread rapidly at the excavation site as Zhang Ye continued to hunt, which made Zhang Ye's hunt more smooth, because he gradually knew how to use fear, and at the same time made his prey more and more panicked, and they began to seek the help of the rebel priests and priests, but this was not what the Grim Reaper in the shadows wanted to see......
