A month later, outside the stone fortress, the treasure hunt team was ready to go.

Chen Jianqiu was riding a black radish, and he had already changed into a set of thicker fleece leather clothes, which were brought over by Zhang Danian and Niu San.

The old man originally prepared a deer-headed hat for Chen Jianqiu, which he led a group of people to hunt in the forests of Colorado and then sew it with his own hands.

However, firstly, the weather in New Mexico is not as outrageous as in Colorado, at least the daytime temperature is okay, and secondly, Chen Jianqiu feels that a deer head on his head is too much.

So, the hat was left on the wall behind the office.

A few days ago, Asuka and Ushizo had finally arrived at the Stone Fort with twenty or so sturdy young men, all carrying brand-new imitation Winchester repeating rifles on their backs.

Niu San told him that these ten or so people had all rotated in Browning's gun shop and received shooting training, which was currently the most elite force in Zhang Danian's place.

Since Chen Jianqiu left Denver, the situation there has not been good.

As before, almost no one was willing to sell their land, even the most barren land. They had to reach the foot of the mountain in Canon and carve out a makeshift foothold.

There was nothing to grow on that land, so Zhang Danian took the men into the forest and became hunters, and for a while life was quite nourishing.

Later, the Browning gun shop in Montrose began to offer them jobs.

Montrose was not far from Canon, and Zhang Danian began to arrange for the young people in the village to rotate.

The most paradoxical thing is that after they started providing security services to the Browning gun shop, the gun shop's business suddenly became better.

Correspondingly, after they received the batch of guns from the gun shop, more and more Chinese came to the settlement.

Some of them are nearby miners, and some are manufacturing workers around Denver.

But Zhang Danian has been paying attention to Chen Jianqiu's news, and he has become even more determined to follow this young master.

Therefore, when Asuka came to Canon, Zhang Danian was eager to immediately take the people to Roswell in person.

After reading the front of the letter, the wrinkles on his face were like spring rain into the mud, stretched out, and handed the letter to Niu San.

Niu San also finished reading, he and the old man may be one of the few literate people in the TP army, he hesitated to Zhang Danian and said:

"Uncle Danian, there is a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Zhang Danian is full of ambition: "If there is a fart, let it go!" ”

"I think the young master means this, what they need for the time being is some middle-aged people who can fight and work, you ...... old"

Zhang Danian's eyes widened: "Am I worse than you?" I can't eat you for dinner? Or can't I cut you? ”

Niu San was silent and handed the reverse side of the letter to Zhang Danian.

Only then did the old man realize that there was a sentence written on the reverse side of the original letter:

"Uncle Danian, I know very well that you can still pee against the wind, but I hope you can still stabilize the overall situation over there for the time being, and we will meet soon."

Zhang Danian burst into tears, and Niu San felt that the young master was like a god.

In addition, during the month, a team of experts consisting of Holmes and Smith and Jackson, the engineer, did not stop searching near Roswell.

In addition to the original oil well, they discovered an underground oil spring to the west of the ranch, which is easily extractable surface oil.

In addition to the two oil wells, they did something very meaningful.

A well was dug inside the stone fortress.

Two geologists have repeatedly confirmed the existence of an aquifer around Roswell, and the closest one to them is directly below the stone fort.

Yes, Vaughn and his soldiers had been digging holes everywhere, but they hadn't been digging under their own quarters, so they had to go far away to find water.

Smith happily wrote all the discoveries in a letter, and then Abiot took them out, and unsurprisingly sank into the sea.

At the same time, I also brought the accountant's report on the abnormal use of funds.

As for those Nahuas, the two sides were fine, and Chen Jianqiu personally sent supplies and brought back some wood and fur products.

Geronimo set out with the warriors of the Apache tribe towards their homeland.

Chen Jianqiu did not let people contact the Apache people who stayed in the mine for the time being, firstly, it was completely safe on his side, and secondly, he rashly contacted Luozen, which might be at risk of revealing his location.

After some deliberation, the final treasure hunt was led by Chen Jianqiu, Adam, Danny, Holmes, Hanif and his henchman Donnie, and Sean, plus three veterans under Niu San.

It's basically elite.

Asuka stayed in the fort, helping Camila with Niu San, who needed to set up the drilling and oil pumps with the team of experts and the employees who had passed the interviews.

Over the next few days, the treasure hunt team headed south.

Corn swirled above the front of the group, and they soon found the river in the mouth of the old Nahua.

According to the Nahuas, the river should be crossed, but in that case, it would be east.

After Chen Jianqiu and Holmes repeatedly confirmed that the direction was correct, they continued south along the river.

On both sides of the riverbank, there are high vertical cliffs, and the stones have weathered into pieces of various sizes, and depending on the section of the river, some places are covered with vegetation, while others are still bare.

Holmes rode his horse as he sketched on his map.

According to him, the river is actually a north-south river called the Pecos River, which originates in north-central New Mexico and flows through eastern New Mexico and western Texas.

"You say, if we keep going down the river like this, wouldn't it be more convenient to take a boat?" Sean estimated that his buttocks were grinding a little painfully, and he said to himself.

"If you can get us a few boats now, we can consider your suggestion." Danny said at the back of the line.

Chen Jianqiu ignored the bickering of the two, and he suddenly found that the corn suddenly stopped flying forward, but kept hovering in the sky not far ahead.

While circling, there is also an eagle whistle.

Chen Jianqiu hurried forward.

The sound of the water in front of us grew louder as the distance approached, until it merged into a loud noise.

The black radish stopped in front of it, and the crowd soon followed.

Chen Jianqiu finally understood why the Nahuas misunderstood the river.

"Danny, I guess even if Sean conjured up the boat, you're probably not going to want to take it." Chen Jianqiu said.

The Pecos River was cut off in front of them, and the water roared and fell with great sound.

A waterfall appeared below them.
