Teams of members bypassed the quicksand, assembled at the city gate, and then divided the work to begin clearing the sand from yard to yard.

In order to avoid excessive accumulation of sand, some people pushed small carts to clear the sand outside the ancient city, and piled it on top of the quicksand.

A small red flag was also planted around the quicksand as a warning.

In front of these people, there was a neat line of fireteams.

They were holding flamethrowers, or incendiary grenades.

And the drone has already flown over the pyramid and started to reconnoitre. There are also several large drones next to the small drones, carrying medicine canisters containing pesticides underneath.

This is already very common in China, drones will play an unimaginable role here.

On the scorpion hole, dozens of team members are already operating drones to spray pesticides towards the area.

Immediately, countless scorpions sensed the danger, emerged from the hole, and rushed towards the team members.

They were greeted by a mass of flames - these scorpions had no resistance to the flames, and were instantly burned to charcoal.

The scorpions were endless, and one by one, the team members burned up the flame-throwing fuel they were carrying.

Follow-up cars continued to pull over the spare tanks.

Soon, the remains of the scorpions were piled high.

Some of the scorpions began to burrow into the ground, trying to attack the team members from underground.

But when the few scorpions came out of the hole, their tail pins couldn't penetrate the hard soles of the players' shoes.

Immediately, some team members carried sprayers on their backs and wore gas masks and began to spray insecticides on the ground.

Scorpions were no match at all, and in the killing over and over again, some of them began to flee into the distance.

They do not have much intelligence and usually act under the command of the ruler.

By this time, however, the threat of death had outweighed the pressure of the rulers, and the organizational structure had begun to crumble.

Seeing that the situation here had remained stable, Zhu Yu finally put his mind at ease.

"Sure enough, it's still manpower and technology that are more at stake." Zhu Yu sighed, "If it's really just the four of us, in the face of so many scorpions, we have to escape." ”

"It's a pity." Ran Jie looked at so many scorpions and said, "I can eat and make medicine, but it's not good to stay." ”

"Huh." For Ran Jie's sigh, Cao Dalong sneered.

They went again to the gate.

There is a special person in charge of registration, and from time to time someone will report their harvest loudly:

"A silver plate!"

"One of the golden cups!"

"Three gold rings!"

"Twelve gold coins!"

"Two silver forks!"

"A bite of copper pot!"

"A ...... of bones"

Well, this last one is messed up.

All these harvests are recorded and the results are counted.

Looking at most of the yard that had been cleared, Zhu Yu sighed:

"It's still ...... us people who are amazing."

"It's normal now." Ran Jie said smugly, "In the past, the civil work of the grassroots company was commonplace! Now that we talk about combat effectiveness, some things are not allowed to be done, and the younger ones are rusty......"

Zhu Yu had never been a soldier, but he could hear from Ran Jie's words that the previous soldier's civil work was really powerful.

He suddenly remembered the book of the Anti-Japanese War that he had read, and the tactics of throwing grenades thirty meters in front of the enemy's position were done in the field of earthwork.

Well, there can be.

The sand was pulled out and piled up one by one, and the small courtyard was cleared out one by one.

The work of killing scorpions is also being carried out in an orderly manner, and the number of those scorpions is really very large.

It's been almost an hour, and the scorpions are still pouring out.

Fortunately, that space was about the size of more than half a football field, otherwise the corpses of scorpions would have been piled up into a small mountain.

On the road inside the city gate, large boxes were laid out, and next to each box there were two registrars in charge of registration.

As soon as each box was full, someone came and closed the seal, sealed it together with the two lists, and then pushed the boxes onto the container truck outside the city gate with a small cart.

The task units are proceeding in an orderly manner.

Zhu Yu's Ran Jie After they saw the scorpion killing battlefield, they went directly to the city.

Because compared to the scorpion, which is easier to attack directly on the bright side, the poisonous beetle is not easy to find.

The viper also knows that it comes out of the pyramid, and the focus is on defense.

Where do poisonous beetles come from?

Zhu Yu really doesn't know!

These East XZs are very deep underground, and Zhu Yu didn't find them after going around so much before.

When these team members are cleaning up the courtyard, they may suddenly run into it.

Zhu Yu and the others walked into the city, and they could still hear some team members whispering in their ears:

"Is this the city of ancient Egypt? It doesn't feel much different from the small city we dug up over there, right? ”

"The era is different, and the architectural style is different."

"Let's dig a little more carefully, maybe we will be treated as a civilized monument for people to visit in the future. Be careful, don't break it. ”

"These ancient people are really rich, and every family has good things."

"Who knows who robbed it, it feels a bit abnormal......"

"Whatever! Do our own. Five times the salary on this day, working for a day and a month in the country, don't talk so much! ”

……

In one morning, the city cleared out about 20 courtyards and cleared out more than 200 pieces of gold, silver, copper and other metal utensils.

There were also some clay pots and the like, which were temporarily put aside and not taken away.

The cooking class brought the meal, and the person in charge blew the whistle to let everyone rest and prepare for dinner.

The scorpion cave has almost been cleaned up, most of the people have withdrawn, and the scorpions are basically no longer pouring out of the cave, so only a small number of people are left to guard and narrow the attack range.

"This cooking class is really retired from the army's cooking class." The person in charge came over to report to Zhu Yu, "I didn't say anything about making a big pot of rice." There are 8,000 a month who is engaged in catering, and he is invited to be the head chef. Because I wanted to buy a house and get married, I joined our company. ”

"Then it's time to try it." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "Now we can be regarded as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon here." ”

Seeing that everyone was eating, and there were still people on duty on the scorpion's side, Zhu Yu walked over.

A strong burnt smell mixed with a faint smell of meat wafted in the air.

Almost all of the scorpions that had been burned were dead, and occasionally a few were not completely burned and could only struggle in the pile of wreckage.

Now the range of scorpions that can move has been reduced to a very low level, but there are basically no live scorpions that can be seen. The occasional scorpion or two that popped up did not come out to attack people, but fled in a hurry.

Zhu Yu Tianqi Tianyan looked over there and found that there were really almost no living scorpions in this cave.

He continued to look down, and then he saw a strange scene!

Underneath the largest cave, five or six meters deep, a translucent yellow-brown giant scorpion the length of an adult's arm was digging a hole and digging desperately into the ground!

It was surrounded by dozens of palm-sized black scorpions, looking like guards.

Following the traces it crawled over, Zhu Yu saw that there were many miniature scorpions the size of mung beans hidden in the holes.

It looks like he was just born.

Spreading further, there are occasionally a few small bee-sized scorpions in these burrows, which are supposed to be minors, and then hide in the burrows.

It's really burned out.

Zhu Yu said to the team members who were still guarding:

"The danger here is lifted. You can stay with one or two people, and the rest will go to dinner. ”

The team members were a little hesitant, it was true that Zhu Yu was the big boss, but their direct command was in the person in charge.

Zhu Yu also understood this truth, and said to one of them:

"Go and report to your squad leader, just say what I said."

After saying that, he didn't care about the team members, picked up a short shovel, and dug under the sand.

He looked at the huge female scorpion with some curiosity and wanted to dig it out.

After all, I've never seen such a big scorpion.

And Zhu Yu didn't plan to let it go - who knows if she will make a comeback after she escapes!

Soon, the team members found the squad leader who led the team, reported to the platoon commander and captain, and finally found the person in charge directly.

The person in charge was discussing the next plan with Ran Jie, and after hearing this, he looked at Ran Jie.

"Listen to the boss." Ran Jie said with a smile, "Our boss doesn't say anything else, just this ability to distinguish good luck and evil, no one can compare." By the way, what is the boss doing? ”

"Dig the sand."

"Let's go, let's take a look."

When Ran Jie and the others walked over, Zhu Yu had already dug a big pit there.

Naturally, those team members couldn't really watch Zhu Yu digging, they were also helping, and there was already a pit one and a half meters deep and more than two meters in diameter.

From time to time, small scorpions were dug up and then put into glass bottles by one of the team members with chopsticks.

"It's delicious when it's fried. It's not bad to soak in wine! ”

Well, that's right.

"Boss, are you going to see the scorpion's lair?" Ran Jie asked jokingly.

"I think there should be a big guy down here, otherwise these scorpions won't be so obedient, they will attack together when they say they come, and they will withdraw together when they say they will withdraw."

Zhu Yu saw that so many people were digging, so he jumped on the outside of the pit and said.

"Not to mention, it's possible." Ran Jie thought about it and felt that it was right.

When I first watched the movie "Scorpion Empire", there was a king bug in it as a brain.

And whether it's ants or bees, there is a king.

Soon, the pit was dug to a depth of two or three meters, and the mouth of the pit was enlarged a lot.

The team member also had two glass bottles in his hand, and the third had already been used.

Zhu Yu could see that the big scorpion with the thickness of his arm already knew the movement above and was desperately digging deeper.

It's a pity that the scorpion's hole was originally only three or four meters deep, but now digging down, the soil is very hard, so the progress is very slow.

Even if there are many scorpions to help together, it won't increase the speed much.

Seeing this, Zhu Yu was basically relieved.

This scorpion may be very poisonous, but as long as it can be dug up, then there will be many ways to concoct it or prevent it, and you won't be able to handle it.

Half an hour later, the team members, who are good at earthwork, had dug less than 20 centimeters from the giant scorpion.

"Be careful, come up first." Zhu Yu suddenly spoke, "There should be a big guy down there, you see, the hole dug out is very thick, and the soil is fresh, come up first and do a good job of protection!" ”

The reason Zhu Yu said was very reasonable, and these team members did not dare to ignore it, and immediately climbed up the pit along the dug steps.

The giant scorpion below had already felt the vibration above, and no longer digging down, but turned the scorpion tail, intending to fight to the death!

At this time, there was suddenly no movement on it, and it was also very confused!

Then it moved, and the dozens of palm-sized scorpions around it immediately rushed out, and soon the bottom of the pit was filled!

"Wow! What a big scorpion! ”

Looking at the scorpion that suddenly came out, the team members were shocked!

If you didn't come up just now, you can't be frightened when this sudden burst out?

If you get stabbed, I'm afraid that even if you can be saved later, it will be very uncomfortable, right?

"Change to high-top boots!" The person in charge immediately spoke, "Get ready for protection!" ”

He turned his head to look at Zhu Yu. He thought that what Zhu Yu wanted was these scorpions, so he didn't say it directly, depending on whether Zhu Yu planned to live or die.

"Burn it." Zhu Yu said, "The big guy hasn't come out yet, these should be guards!" ”

"Burn!" As soon as he heard that Zhu Yu asked him to burn, the person in charge immediately gave an order.

There are so many things in this way, it's not easy to catch. It's going to be pierced, it's so uncomfortable!

Although some team members felt that it was a pity that those scorpions were burned, but the order was given, so don't say more.

A flamethrower came over, and as soon as the trolles went down, the scorpions were all cooked.

After a long while, after the pit was cold, Zhu Yu said:

"Let's go, let's go down."

Ran Jie immediately followed, and Zhu Yu also changed into high-top boots at this time, wearing stab-proof gloves, and a large jar.

The giant scorpion was already hanging up—although the flamethrower had avoided its position as much as possible under Zhu Yu's instructions.

But this thing is military equipment after all, so if you burn it all at once, you will directly burn it dry!

If it weren't for the fact that its carapace was hard enough, and it had desperately drilled down a distance just now, I am afraid that it would have been able to uncover the carapace and dip it in vinegar by now.

Several other team members jumped off as well.

Zhu Yu took a short shovel and dug it out of the soil a few times, revealing the tail of the giant scorpion.

"Wow! This one is huge! One of the team members blurted out, "It's a good thing!" ”

"No, no, it's not yet fine." Zhu Yu answered with a smile, "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, you are not allowed to become a fine, I don't know." ”

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed.

Pressing the scorpion tail, Ran Jie immediately followed, and took out a few more strokes, revealing the true body of the giant scorpion.

Zhu Yu pressed the scorpion's tail while grabbing the scorpion's body, and directly stuffed it into the large glass jar.

"How can this be half a meter long, right?" The team members looked at the scorpions that were put in the jar and sighed in amazement.

"Pretty much. Head with tail. Zhu Yu didn't think about how to play the role of this scorpion.

Anyway, such a thing must be rare.

When I returned to the camp with the big jar, the people on this side withdrew.

It was so easy to kill the poisonous scorpion, one of the major poisonous insects, and it also gave everyone a lot of encouragement.

"Sure enough, there are still many people and great strength! The poisonous scorpion that chased us so embarrassed before, that's just it! Cao Dalong hugged the jar and said with a smile.

"Don't take it lightly, I think the snake is the biggest threat." Qin Fei reminded.

"Don't worry, no matter how powerful you are, you can't beat the flamethrower!"

The afternoon proceeded in an orderly manner as planned. Without the threat of scorpions, more team members joined in the process of cleaning up the rubble.

More sand was piled up on the quicksand.

"Boss, what a hole you say there is under this quicksand! How many truckloads of sand have been sent in, why hasn't it been filled yet? ”

"I don't know." Zhu Yu shook his head and said, "Anyway, there is still a lot of sand in the city, fill it, there will always be a day when it will be filled." ”

The area where the quicksand was located was smaller than the space occupied by the scorpions, but the cartloads of sand piled up and quickly sank down, and the position remained level.

If it's a few cars and dozens of cars piled up, forget it. It's a bit strange that hundreds of truckloads of sand have been piled up now, and the situation there has not changed.

Under Zhu Yu's heavenly eyes, those sands fell into bottomless crevices.

The bones of animals and people that had been trapped in the quicksand had sunk down with the sand.

Zhu Yu recalled that an important reason why those people built the city here was that there was quicksand as protection, and many people were trapped.

In the city, nearly one-third of the team members are armed with flamethrowers and other equipment to guard against poisonous snakes and poisonous insects.

But until the sun went down in the evening, the team members called it a day, and the poisonous insects and poisonous snakes did not come out.

This made Zhu Yu and them very surprised, but they were also very happy.

"About one-tenth of the rooms in the city were cleared in one day today. 591 pieces of gold, 1,347 pieces of silver, 993 pieces of bronze pieces, and thousands of pieces of pottery and other artifacts were cleared.

In addition, eleven suspected underground chambers were found in the cleared rooms. It was not turned on because it was worried that poisonous insects might be introduced. Now that the marks have been made, the plan is to open them one by one when the surfaces are all cleaned up. ”

For such a report, Zhu Yu is still very satisfied.

About one percent of these harvests are enough for the day's expenses.

Earn big!

And that's only a tenth of the city's gain!

No, far less than a tenth!

The things in those underground chambers may be the big ones!

"Add dinner in the evening, so that everyone can replenish their nutrition, the amount of a bottle of beer for everyone! When we're done with all this work, everyone will have a big red envelope! ”

Zhu Yu is happy, so he will naturally be generous.

"The sentinels still have to do a good job." Ran Jie reminded, "Be careful if something happens at night." ”

The camp is only a few hundred meters from the ruins of the ancient city, where a bonfire was set up with the broken wooden planks of the houses, and the team members were happily eating and drinking, very happy.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt a little unsure, so he got up and walked out of the tent.

Raise your eyes and look into the city, because of the barrier of the city wall, you can't see anything clearly.

But Zhu Yu always felt that something was moving over there.

He walked towards the ancient city.

A few dozen meters from this side of the camp, several sentries were patrolling.

In Zhu Yu's ears, the movement was louder.

But the sentinel didn't react.

Did you hear it wrong? (End of chapter)
