Egypt.

An ancient country that can be compared to the Eastern Kingdom.

But......

In the long river of time, only the eastern kingdom is still standing, and as for Egypt, it has long been lost to everyone.

Wrong.

To be more precise, Egypt has already become as struggling to survive as other Third World countries under the Spring of Peace of the Federation.

It's not.

Three days ago, on the evening of Cairo, the capital of Egypt, there was a large-scale bloodshed, and the locals of Egypt were stunned to discuss it.

It wasn't until Aegis's special plane arrived at the scene that the locals of Egypt arrived belatedly to pick it up.

Accompanied by the opening of the hatch.

Luke, wearing sunglasses, walked out of the cabin in a black suit.

Jack followed.

Natasha followed behind Maria Hill and stepped out of the cabin.

The man in the local Egyptian uniform swept his gaze over Hill and Luke's faces, and then greeted Hill.

It's not because Luke doesn't look like a leader.

Rather, it was because of the orders they received, which specifically mentioned that the commander was a woman.

"Commander Hill."

"Colonel Menes."

Hill smiled and shook hands with the locals who greeted him.

Jack walked beside Luke and lowered his voice, "Boss, he's ignoring you. ”

Luke glanced directly at Jack.

"Shut up."

"Oh."

"Is the tail cleaned up?"

"Alright."

"That'll do."

Luke nodded.

It wasn't necessary, he didn't have to ask Hill to come along.

But......

Three days ago, Seifer called and told him that something had happened in Egypt.

Event.

Their men, the agents sent to Cairo, Egypt to guard the suspected lead to the tomb of the Apocalypse, were attacked and killed, and a group of twenty people, not a single one of them was left alive.

The reason why Seifer knew was because that night, these people should have reported to her routinely according to the plan.

As a result, there was no report for a long time, and Seifer found out about this matter and hurriedly contacted Luke urgently.

Luke originally thought that after sending Rachel back to New York, he would come to Egypt immediately.

But who would have thought that the next day, Cairo, Egypt, would directly report the case to S.H.I.E.L.D. and let S.H.I.E.L.D. take over.

However, this is not the reason why Luke will follow Hill.

The reason why he is here is because Hill told him that the case in Egypt has something to do with him.

As for what, Hill didn't say.

But when the four of them, led by Colonel Aha Menes in front of them, came to the ancient gate that had been guarded and suspected to lead to the tomb of the Apocalypse, Luke knew why Hill had not said anything before.

Jack, on the side, opened his mouth wide and looked at the words on the huge gate in front of him, which was still covered with yellow sand.

into the eyes.

Exactly the name of Luke Dane.

Blood-red.

Luke looked at the name that appeared on the stone door and raised an eyebrow.

Hill on the side walked up to Luke's side, first glanced at Luke's expression, and then looked at the name on the stone door: "Is there anything you want to tell me?" ”

After saying this, Hill looked at Luke with a smile and waited for Luke's answer.

Luke withdrew his gaze from the stone door under Ciel's gaze, and then, his eyes looked at Ciel, "No." ”

When Sever's side sent someone to the morgue to see if there was anything to finish, he said that the blood of that group was all gone.

Right now, Luke knows where the blood of these people has gone.

Lu Ke lowered his eyes, looked at the puddle of blood under the stone gate, and then looked at his name on the stone gate, and couldn't help frowning.

Mutants.

Apocalypse.

He had just thought about it in his head, and he asked himself if he didn't have a vendetta against any mutants.

So what is this scene going on?

Ruke's mind swirled.

Hill glanced at Luke a few times, then withdrew his gaze and nodded to Colonel Menes, who had followed him in charge.

Soon.

Colonel Menes also waved his hand, and seven or eight local soldiers poured out from behind.

With the sound of cheers one after another, under the impetus of seven or eight local soldiers, the huge stone gate in front of him was slowly pushed open.

At the moment when the stone door was pushed open, there seemed to be a vicious wind, and it rushed out directly from inside.

The evil wind is like a black mist, and it is like a wolf.

Seeing this, Luke turned around and kicked the Colonel Menes aside, then pulled Ciel to the side.

Jack also pulled Natasha to the side.

The next second.

The black mist swarmed out, instantly enveloping the eight local soldiers who pushed the door, and then, a scream suddenly came out of the thick black fog.

When the black fog cleared, and then looked at the eight soldiers, there was no one left.

As if corroded by a strong liquid, they were exposed to their bones and collapsed into the pool of blood, and then the calm pool of blood seemed to boil, making a cooing sound.

Colonel Menes, who was kicked to the side, saw the eight white bones in front of him, and involuntarily swallowed his saliva, and cold sweat broke out.

Luke looked at Ciel.

"It's okay."

"It's fine."

Hill shook his head and frowned at the endless staircase that seemed to lead to the underground after the stone door was pushed open: "What the hell is going on here." ”

Luke shrugged: "Won't you know when you go in." ”

said.

Luke straightened his coat and took the lead, walking straight ahead.

Seeing this, Jack hurriedly followed.

"Boss, wait for me."

"Let's go."

Hill also glanced at Natasha, ignoring the already frightened Colonel Menes, and followed Luke directly into the stone door.

Just as Luke and the others walked into the stone gate, Colonel Menes, whose eyes were glazed, got up from the ground like a machine, walked outside, and the group of soldiers who looked at him shouted loudly.

The soldiers quickly dispersed.

Followed by.

A man who seemed to be wearing diving goggles and a woman with snow-white hair walked out of the building next to him, nodded to the glazed Menes, and then quickly ran in, following behind Luke and the others, and burrowed into the stone door.

Bang!

There was a loud bang, and suddenly dust came out.

Lu Ke and the others, who had already walked halfway down the stairs, listened to the voice coming from behind them, and suddenly turned their heads to look.

Jack instantly scurried up like a leopard, and after a while, swept down again and looked at Luke: "Boss, the stone gate has been blown up." ”

Natasha frowned, "What about the people outside." ”

Jack shook his head.

Hill looked at Ruke, "We're in too much of a hurry. ”

Lu Ke's face was expressionless: "It's a person or a ghost, we'll see later." ”

His name is written on the stone door.

No doubt.

It's coming for him.

Luke has a plan.

Will be calculated, and then find this guy, after that, chop him.

Not to mention that with his current strength, he doesn't care about playing any conspiracy, even in the past, for this kind of thing, he would choose to strike hard.

"Follow me and don't be left behind."

"Understood."

Jack was the first to respond.

The four of them said no more, left the collapsed stone door behind them, and continued to walk down the stairs at their feet.

In the empty and dark hole, only the footsteps of four people were clearly visible.

After a while.

Luke, who was at the front, stopped.

"Arrived?"

"No, it's broken."

Luke lowered his eyes, looked in front of him, was cut off, like a big hole leading to the abyss, and said loudly.

Natasha seemed to think of something, and wiped her right hand on her left arm, removed an iron ring from her left arm, and then after pressing it a few times, she threw it directly.

The hoop brightens and rises into the air at the same time.

It's getting brighter and taller.

Suddenly.

In the middle of the big cave, it was as if a white sun had risen.

Jack's eyes were drawn to a large building still below.

"It's ......"

"Pyramids?"

"How can there be pyramids here?"

Hill also saw the pyramid at least about two hundred meters deep under his feet, towering over there, and couldn't help but exclaim, and then looked at Luke.

into the eyes.

Luke's expression was still very calm.

Apocalypse.

There is a pyramid, which is quite normal.

It's just that......

A flash of gold flashed in Luke's pupils, and he looked at the pyramid at the very bottom.

At the heart of the pyramid, there are two stone platforms, and on one of them, lies a middle-aged man with tanned skin.

Born black, and tanned, you can see it at a glance.

Is the apocalypse still there?

Luke raised an eyebrow.

After he knew that something had happened in Egypt, he didn't expect the apocalypse to be still in this pyramid, otherwise he wouldn't have returned to New York three days later.

But for now.

The apocalypse is still there.

So......

The group of people who killed him, and left their names on the stone gate, who the hell were they, and what did they want to do?

Lu Ke was a little curious, and while retracting his gaze, he glanced around the large hole space.

In perception, there was no one else except the four of them.

But......

There's an energy here that suppresses this perception of oneself.

And this energy is also emanating from the pyramid.

Luke lowered his eyes, looked at the distance from here to the pothole, and then turned to look at Ciel.

"Carry you down."

"Okay."

Luke smiled slightly, walked over to Ciel's side, opened his arms, and put his arms around Ciel, who also took the opportunity to put his arms around Luke's neck.

The next second.

Just jump off.

Seeing this, Jack looked at Natasha on the side.

Bang!

The moment Jack's feet landed on the ground, it was like a giant beast falling to the ground, and the ancient stone slab that had been around for an unknown number of years shattered under his feet, splashing thick dust at the same time.

Not far away, Lu Ke and Hill looked at the dusty and somewhat dusty two, glanced at each other, shook their heads and smiled, and then invariably landed their eyes on the small pyramid almost two hundred meters away in front of them, about twenty meters high.
