The next day, Vic and others' expressions changed when they saw Azu.

This guy casually gave Hank's mercenary a large sum of money last night, so that the mercenary's expression became amiable when they saw him.

After having breakfast.

Hank and others came out after putting on combat equipment. These people were fully armed and carried a large backpack. They were not out of breath when walking, including the woman named Kama.

It can be seen that they have been on the battlefield for a long time and they all look tough.

"Okay, gentlemen and ladies."

"If you have had breakfast, then we are about to set off."

"It will take us three days to enter Golyssac."

"In this process, we have to cross the dangerous Gobi and may encounter armed bandits."

"So I hope you can obey my orders during the journey."

"Every command."

"If you want to come back intact, I suggest you do this."

"Now, let's go."

Azu stood up, clapped his hands, and walked in the team very leisurely.

The entire archaeological team, including the elderly Dr. Nick, had nothing on him, but at least the doctor was carrying a cane.

But Azu had nothing.

Well, except for a sun hat and sunglasses.

Even the girl Amy carried a hiking bag full of things.

See the situation.

Captain Hank smiled and said: "Mr. John, don't you have any luggage?"

Azu shook his head.

Hank joked: "I'm going to let Tank help you carry your luggage."

Tank was the bald guy who made fun of Azu last night. Now he looked at Azu like he was looking at a treasury. He no longer meant to make fun of him, and he showed a bit of naivety to make himself look as friendly as possible.

Hank made a gesture: "Kama, you and Mr. John go together."

"He and Dr. Nick will be left to you."

Then he winked at Azu and said, "It's more comfortable to be with Kama than to be with big bosses like us."

"However, don't let her do anything other than fight, even if she takes the initiative."

"I don't want my men to have no strength to fight at the critical moment."

Amy also understood the hidden pun and couldn't help but look at Kama a few more times.

In fact, this female soldier is very attractive, tall and slightly stronger than girls like Amy, but she doesn't look like a big guy.

Except for her rough skin and tanned complexion, she is beautiful in other aspects.

As a female soldier who has been dealing with these men for a long time, Kama did not get angry or blush because of this joke.

On the contrary, she laughed dryly and said: "I don't think I have to spend so much effort on Mr. John."

Suddenly, a group of men whistled.

Azu also laughed, and at the same time he had the urge to make this ignorant female soldier suffer a little bit.

They walked out of the hotel, and there were six off-road vehicles parked outside.

These cars have been modified, have high chassis, thick and big wheels, and look very powerful.

Two of them also had anti-aircraft machine guns on them, manned by tanks and another burly black man.

Hank quickly assigned everyone's seats.

Azu, Dr. Nick, and Amy shared a car.

Kama, who had camouflage painted on her face, sat next to Azu, and she exuded a refreshing fragrance.

The female soldier took out a box of chewing gum: "Want one?"

Azu smiled and shook his head.

Kama didn't force it, put it away and said: "You should not be from the archaeological team, why would you come to such a dangerous place with them?"

"Is it dangerous?"

Azu spread his hands and said, "Didn't you protect me?"

Karma smiled and said: "Other men want to be brave in front of me, but you don't care about this at all."

Azu smiled and said: "I don't mind being protected by a woman. Besides, I have money to spend. This is the service I deserve."

"Service." Kama nodded, "That's true."

When they were about to set off, a man riding a motorcycle hurriedly arrived and spoke in English with a strange accent.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Hank threw a backpack to him and said: "If you are later, I will have to find another tour guide."

He then introduced to everyone: "This is our guide, Ackerman."

"Ackerman is a living map of this area. If you have any questions during the trip, you can always consult him."

The local man named Ackerman smiled and interacted with everyone.

A few minutes later, the motorcade set off.

At the beginning, the people in the archaeological team were quite excited.

We were talking and laughing in the car.

But when the town faded away and the world became deserted, people no longer had the excitement they had just now.

Look around.

There are only a few colors in the world, such as red, yellow, and brown.

There are weathered stones of all sizes everywhere. Some stones have been eroded by the wind and sand into strange shapes, and some have even been eroded with holes. When the wind blows, it will make a creepy sound.

Ackerman introduced the team members through the team's radio communication machine.

"There are a lot of canyons, caves and hoodoos in this area."

"Therefore, the terrain in this area is complex and there are too many natural terrains for hiding."

"During the most chaotic and darkest years, human corpses were buried in every shadow and cave here."

"This is a barren land, and the most abundant things here are rocks and sand."

"Our ancestors said it was a land cursed by the gods."

"But even so, we haven't given up on it."

"Our ancestors have been struggling and surviving here for generations."

"Their experiences can be woven into tragic poems."

"Everyone, the water here is very precious."

"There are few rivers in this vast area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and almost none of these rivers can flow all year round."

"So in this land, if you can occupy the water source, you will be the overlord."

"There are several forces we need to be careful about here."

"One is the 'Sickle Group'. They use a white sickle as a mark. They are all equipped with small sickles, and they like to use the sickles to cut off the tongues of their prey."

"They are the most lawless group of villains on this land. The army once wanted to exterminate them, but it is too difficult for our country's army to find and eliminate them in such a vast area."

Ackerman smiled and continued.

“Also to watch out for are ‘scavengers’ and ‘sand leopards’.”

"The former are elusive. They rarely conflict with other forces and rarely attack caravans on their own initiative."

"But if you're injured and have trouble moving, they're going to show up."

"They're like those carrion bugs that eat away at you slowly, bit by bit."

"They can sometimes even linger around their prey for a week until they eat it alive and then loot it."

"As for the 'Sand Leopards', they are not the most powerful, but they have the best equipment."

"God knows where their equipment comes from, but it is certain that neither the 'Sickle Group' nor the 'Carrion Eaters' have as sophisticated equipment as they do."
