Chen Jianqiu slept in his clothes for most of the time before, but today, he took off his clothes rarely.

He thought he could get a good night's sleep.

He picked up his fur coat, slipped it over his body, and walked out the door.

Outside, there was chaos, and several Vaughn soldiers ran past Chen Jianqiu with guns and torches, and they were scurrying around the barracks like headless flies.

"South! South! Get on the wall! Vaughn's head appeared on top of the wall, and he yelled at the soldiers, "Come up! ”

At this time, some soldiers had gathered on the south wall, and they were standing in a row, leaning against the outside of the top of the wall, and placing their guns on the outside of the wall.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

Chen Jianqiu suddenly heard the sound of feather arrows cutting through the air coming from the south.

He looked in the direction of the wall, and arrows kept appearing in the direction of the wall, all from different directions, from the bottom up.

Some of them hit Vaughan's soldiers directly. Two unlucky guys were hit by arrows, one was shot in the shoulder, and the other was directly pierced through the neck, and it is estimated that he will not survive.

Some hit the wall, making the sound of hard objects crashing against each other, and most of them were blocked out of the wall, and only a few fell on the wall.

Others, either shot high or missed, went straight over the wall, and flew towards the inside of the wall.

A disoriented chaotic arrow streaked across the night sky, heading straight for Chen Jianqiu's direction.

Chen Jianqiu's body was slightly sideways, and the arrow flew past his shoulder, and the arrow hit the adobe wall behind him straight away, carving a small hole in the wall, and then falling to the ground.

Chen Jianqiu picked up the feather arrow on the ground and began to observe.

He seems to have seen such arrows somewhere.

"It's a Nahua arrow, and it's made in a similar way to ours."

Chen Jianqiu looked up and saw Geronimo standing in front of him.

After hearing the movement outside, he also walked out of the house as soon as possible.

Chen Jianqiu looked at the arrow in his hand.

It would be a bit difficult to attack a strong fortress guarded by dozens of soldiers with dozens of loaded guns, and the purpose of these Nahuas should be to harass.

Until these people can't stand it anymore and leave here en masse.

It is hard to imagine that such a battle between them is estimated to have lasted for five years.

After that, Vaughn and his soldiers were still here, and Nava's rebels were still hiding in the wilderness.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of arrows outside stopped, and then, the gunfire of the soldiers gradually stopped.

Vaughn climbed down the ladder, looking tired.

He glanced obliquely at Chen Jianqiu and Geronimo who were standing at the door of the room, and shouted at them angrily: "What do you see? What do you do running out in the middle of the night? ”

Chen Jianqiu didn't show any anger, he looked at Vaughn's unlucky face, and he was a little funny for no reason.

"Aren't the Nahuas almost dead?" Chen Jianqiu teased, he swept the arrow in his hand, "I don't think they have any decent firepower." ”

"These people are coming out of the ground, are you satisfied?" Vaughn's anger was completely ignited, "The Indians on this continent are all yellow-shelled cockroaches that have been killed by the sky, and they can't be pinched to death, and they can't be killed!" ”

"Who do you say is a cockroach?" Chen Jianqiu hadn't moved yet, and Geronimo next to him spoke.

"Do you understand English?" Vaughn was stunned for a moment.

"Not only can I understand English, but I've also dealt with countless white scum like Ling." The muscles on Geronimo's arms tensed, the green tendons on his temples beat faintly, and the whole person was like a full bow, ready to shoot out at any moment.

Vaughn panicked, and he pressed his hand to his waist.

Vaughn's soldiers sensed something strange as well, and they surrounded him with guns and torches.

Chen Jianqiu's hand hung down, and his gun was in the room, but there was still one in the fur coat he was wearing.

Since the last duel with the old mayor, Chen Jianqiu has understood a truth, as long as it does not affect his own actions, the more guns the better.

Two guns are not enough, at least three.

One can be seen, the other may not be visible to you, and the last one, you may never be able to see, but when you see it, it must be when you die.

He heard a noise in the room behind him, and knew that the people in the room might have been leaning against the window or door with their guns in hand.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the window of the room next to him again.

A piece of barrel crept out of the window.

Camila is ready.

"What's the situation? So noisy? Holmes came out of the room, wrapped in a blanket, and looked at the tense sides with a bewildered expression.

Vaughn saw Holmes, and his face softened slightly, but he still didn't mean to let the soldiers leave.

Holmes began to play like he looked like a good old man, and he walked between Jerónimo and Vaughn:

"Okay, okay, everyone will be colleagues in the future, don't be like this, don't be like this." He urged Vaughn.

Vaughn thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and waved at the soldiers behind him, telling them to go back to their respective barracks.

"It's all scattered, it's all scattered!"

Chen Jianqiu's hand wrapped his jacket on his body.

There was another noise in the room behind him, and on the other side, the barrel of Camilla's gun by the window had disappeared.

Vaughn didn't know that he had just escaped the ghost gate, so he took a sip into the ground and walked stumbling towards his room.

"I'm sorry, Chen," Jerónimo walked over to Chen's side and whispered.

He knew that if there was a real fight just now, Vaughn would definitely die.

But this kind of encounter, no one can say, there is a high probability that it will also cause casualties, and the subsequent impact is also unknown.

"There is no such thing as a 100% sure thing." Chen Jianqiu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Everyone has their own bottom line, and in this regard, you and I are the same." ”

"There are some troubles, you can't hide from them, you can get through them." He looked at where Vaughn had left.

The next morning, Holmes walked into Vaughan's barracks.

He was about to follow Chen Jianqiu's instructions and propose to Vaughn to take his people to explore a farther place.

Vaughn spoke first.

He sat on the broken chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and completely lost the respect of the previous day:

"Mr. Holmes, as the head of security in the area, and your protector for the next period of time, I feel the need to remind you as soon as possible that your team of bodyguards is unreliable."

"They are Indians, impulsive, brutal, capricious, and I suggest you dismiss them now." Vaughn paused, "Including your assistant." ”

"But he's Chinese." Holmes looked puzzled.

"It's all the same, it's the same quality from the color of their skin."

Holmes was dumbfounded: "I can't imagine that you still have such prejudices. ”

"No, no, no, it's not prejudice, my sir, it's a fact, you saw it last night, your team almost used force with me." Vaughn was annoyed at the thought of this.

"But......," Holmes retorted.

"No, but! Mr. Holmes! I respect you because you are a knowledgeable person, and yesterday's events proved that you can't manage your team well! I would also like to remind you not to forget who you are! Vaughn accentuated his tone.

"And what about my work today?" Holmes glared at Vaughn.

"Don't worry, my soldiers will take you there, they have been drilling part-time all these years, and they are all first-class drilling skilled workers." Vaughn was not ashamed, but proud, with a proud face.

"I can't work without an assistant!" Holmes sat across from him, and of all the people here, he only believed that Chen Jianqiu could guarantee his safety.

"Mr. Holmes!" Vaughn raised his voice again.

However, the geologist was unmoved and sat there in a huff.

Vaughn was helpless and had to compromise: "Okay, but you can only take him alone!" ”

Holmes returned to Chen Jianqiu's room and told everyone what had happened.

Jeronimo frowned, and everyone present began to talk.

A fool can also see Vaughn's malice, but it is unknown to what extent his malice is.

"Why don't we just find a chance to slip away." Sean offered his opinion, "Sooner or later, I'm going to have to run away anyway." ”

Chen Jianqiu ignored him, he whispered something to Geronimo.

Jeronimo's brow furrowed even tighter: "No, no, it's too risky for you to do this." ”

Chen Jianqiu looked into Geronimo's eyes and tried to pass on his confidence to him.

Eventually, Geronimo nodded.

"OK, that's such a happy decision." Chen Jianqiu turned to Holmes, "Go and tell Vaughn, you agree, I'll go with you, if you don't worry, Vaughn can come with him personally." ”

Vaughn listened to Holmes's request for him to go with him, and he was desperate to keep an eye on the geologist to prevent him from being slack.

Half an hour later, the search for crude oil was ready to go.

The whole team carried six wagons, one loaded with a pile of supplies for camping, one loaded with a pile of wood and several large buckets of precious water, one wagon pulled a pile of coal, and the remaining three loaded with a pile of iron lumps.

"What is this?" Holmes pointed to the steel gadgets on the carriage.

"Steam Rig!" Vaughn raised his head high, the pride of industrial civilization.

"You're just using this thing to make holes in the neighborhood for five years? And then nothing was found? Holmes snorted in his nostrils.

Vaughn was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to pretend to tidy up his hat

So the exploration team left the stone bunker in such a mighty way,
