Chapter 4: Overboard
The little moon was reflected at the bottom of the river, and the small rowing boat was constantly rowing, and a group of people in black robes were rowing the boat, slowly coming to the bottom of the steamer.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After three consecutive gunshots, bullet marks appeared on the walls around the bottle.
"Looks crooked." Chen Xu was very satisfied with this result, although he said that he didn't hit the bottle, but from the perspective of deviation, it still did not exceed the scope of the human body, that is to say, he hit people, at least he could hit people, and he didn't need to worry about hitting anything else, which was already a very good result for a beginner.
"According to the plot, the group of people who call themselves Pharaoh's Guards should have come to the ship!" A gleam flashed in Chen Xu's eyes.
In the movie, the Pharaoh's Guards are on the same front as O'Connor, but for Chen Xu, a person who aspires to the Black Scripture of the Undead, the Pharaoh's Guards are a group of things that get in the way.
After all, he was able to deceive O'Connor and Evelyn, who didn't know much about the Black Book of the Undead, but he couldn't deceive these guards, and the time came for a clash to break out.
"The first strike is stronger, and the second strike suffers." Chen Xu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, picked up the gun, loaded the bullets, stood on tiptoe, and came to the front of Evelyn's room.
Seeing the black shadow inside, Chen Xu thought for a moment, put away the revolver, took out the dagger, slammed open the door, broke in, and the moment he saw the guards, he immediately rushed over.
Tear!
The sharp dagger pierced the guard's abdomen, and the man with the iron hook looked at his stomach in disbelief, at the black cloth stained with red blood, and slowly lay down.
"Let's go." Chen Xu grabbed Evelyn and walked out.
Bang!
A man barged in, and when he looked closely, it was O'Connor.
O'Connor was stunned when he saw Chen Xu and Evelyn together, and then saw the corpse on the ground, his face changed, "Let's go, let's get out of here." ”
"We should jump into the river now." Chen Xu said in a deep voice, "There are a lot of people outside, and it's on fire, this boat can't be saved, and jumping into the river is our only choice." ”
"Then jump into the river." O'Connor immediately decided, "I'm in front, Chen Xu is in the back, and we'll escort Evelyn to jump into the river." ”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Outside, the gunfire was incessant, bullets were flying all over the sky, and the planks on the ship could not stop the bullets at all, and they were frequently pierced.
"Oh, I hate this situation, there are bullets everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will be hit by stray bullets, it is completely a matter of luck." Chen Xu said secretly, "I swear, I won't let this happen next time." ”
"Let's count 123 and rush over together." O'Connor fought back and shouted.
“1。”
Chen Xu calmed down, breathed quietly, and adjusted the state to the best.
“2。”
The legs are slightly bent in a charging shape.
“3。”
Chen Xu rushed out, his body hiding on O'Connor's side, intentionally or unintentionally, to avoid the direction of the bullet.
With a pop, the three of them smashed through the wooden fence and rushed down.
"Finally saved." Chen Xu said secretly in his heart.
The Pharaoh's Guards came here for the map and key, and the map and key were in Evelyn's room and were not brought out, believing that the Pharaoh's Guard would not notice them.
"I don't have a map or a key, so I'll have to figure out what to do when the time comes." Chen Xu said secretly in his heart.
Carefully remembering the swimming posture he had learned at school, he swam ashore after O'Connor.
"All of ours are gone." As Evelyn walked ashore, she complained, "All our tools and clothes ......." ”
"Is the money still there?" Chen Xu interrupted her.
"The money is still there, don't worry." Jonathan grinned and patted the bag in his hand, "When I went to look for Evelyn, I saw that she didn't carry the bag, so I brought it over." ”
"You love money." Evelyn glanced at Jonathan and said dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't I bring my tools and clothes out?" ”
"Don't blame Jonathan, he did the right thing, with the money, we can go buy clothes and tools." Chen Xu said in a deep voice, "O'Connor, who are these people, do you know what? ”
"I don't know, but they're dressed like the last time we attacked us, and they should be a group." When O'Connor mentioned this group of people, he was rarely serious.
"These people attacked your soldiers last time, and they attacked us again this time, it seems that they want to prevent us from going to Hamnata, but why would they know that we are going to Hamnata?" Chen Xu asked strangely, "It stands to reason that no one will go to Hamnata except us." ”
"And the group of Americans." Jonathan hurriedly said: "That group of Americans also went to Hamnata Tower, maybe they accidentally leaked it." ”
"If that's the case, then we have to be careful, it seems that going to Hamnata this time is dangerous."
"Then why don't we go?" The warden next to him interjected abruptly, "I'm here to monitor my property, not to fight with others, and the war should be handed over to the army." ”
The warden of the prison, who thought that Hamnata was a smooth road, was immediately unhappy after the attack.
"Otherwise, you go to Hamnata and bring back the gold, and I'll only need 30 percent."
"If you don't go, what will we do if we embezzle the gold and precious stones of Hamnata?" Chen Xu joked, "There are a lot of gold, a lot of gems, and antiques, which are worth a lot of money, how to say, if they are all sold, tens of millions of pounds will not be able to run, maybe they will be worth hundreds of millions of pounds." ”
When the warden heard this, he carefully calculated in his heart, and in the face of hundreds of millions of pounds worth of gold and precious stones, he felt that he still couldn't rest assured of the people in front of him.
"I'll go with you, and I won't give you the opportunity to embezzle my gold and precious stones."
Chen Xu was speechless when he heard this.
……
Desert oasis.
It is not only a place of water and grass, but also a distribution center for small goods, many merchants come here to exchange goods, and there are also travelers who want to go to the desert to buy camels.
"Old sir, you ......." Chen Xu gestured in front of an old man, he drew a big circle, and surrounded all the camels in front of him, "I want all these camels, you can set a price." ”
"A hundred pounds a piece." The old man said.
"Why don't you grab it?" The warden next to him immediately became angry.
"Rest easy." Chen Xu gave the prison warden a look.
It is no wonder that the warden is so hot, the current pound is not as worthless as the pound in later generations, and the current pound is still pegged to gold, that is, people can directly exchange the pound for gold.
In this era, 500 pounds can be exchanged for 117.71 ounces of gold, which is equivalent to 100,000 US dollars in later generations, and the old man's offer of 100 pounds is equivalent to buying a camel for 20,000 US dollars in later generations, which is more affordable than robbing a bank.
"I'm sorry, sir, it's too expensive for you here." Chen Xu pulled the prison warden away.
After a while, Chen Xu came back again, "Old man, I want all these camels of yours." ”
Chen Xu was quite helpless, this old man's camel was probably the cheapest in this oasis, and the others were even darker.
"These people are literally robbing for money." The warden said indignantly.
"Don't worry, we can earn this money back." Chen Xu comforted, "Think about it, when we get to the Hamna Tower, there is gold everywhere, let us take it away, when the time comes, every camel represents gold, represents the golden gold, and then you can still look at this little hundred pounds?" ”
The warden's mind immediately conjured up the sight of gold everywhere, and then he remembered the painful appearance of not being able to take the gold away because there were not enough camels, and he trembled with fright, "No, all this gold is mine, and it should not be lost in the Tower of Hamna." ”
"It is said that capitalists dare to go to the gallows if they have 300 percent profits, but do you know how much gold and how many precious stones are in the Hamna Tower? That's not just 300 percent profit, it's simply 300 times the profit, for these profits, I dare to go to hell and be with death, 10,000 years, 10,000 years. ”
"Yes, I dare to go to hell with three hundred times the profit." The warden swallowed his saliva, his heart full of excitement, "I will give you all this money, you can spend it as long as you can find the Hamna Tower and find the legendary treasure." ”
"Money junkies." Chen Xu said secretly disdainfully.
Buy all the old man's camels, and buy enough water and food to form a small camel caravan.
"Oh, what are you doing with so many camels, we only need five camels." Evelyn looked at the camels and immediately asked.
"These camels are all used to transport goods, and our warden wants to get all the gold out of the Hamna Tower, and we also need to bring enough water and food to prevent us from being too unlucky and caught in a sand storm." Chen Xu explained: "Careful planning in the desert is a manifestation of irresponsibility for one's own life. ”
"Chen Xu did a good job." O'Connor also saw so many camels, and his face was happy, "In the desert, it is right to be prepared, because the weather in the desert is like a child's face, and it changes when it is said." ”
"Actually, I also think it's necessary to bring such camels, so much gold, a few of us can't bring it all, but with these camels it's different......." Jonathan agreed.
Evelyn saw that everyone else agreed, and she could only agree, "Okay, I listen to you, I hope this investment will not be wasted." ”
"These investments belong to His Excellency the Prison Director, and he himself will admit responsibility, and it has nothing to do with us." Chen Xu smiled lightly, "By the way, you helped tie these water and food to the camel's body, I can't do it alone." ”
