In the hinterland of the Sahara Desert after a sandstorm, due to the scorching sun, the temple image in the field of vision is slightly distorted through a layer of water ripples.

A young man in a white robe put down his telescope, shouted something in Arabic to the Bedouin behind him, and then urged the dromedary under his buttocks to run towards the temple one kilometer away.

Normally, the nomadic Bedouins in the Sahara Desert rarely travel under the scorching sun. They have been living with this desert for thousands of years and have already figured out its temperament.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. Only early morning and evening are the best times to travel. During the hot days and cold nights, they prefer to hide behind the shady sand dunes, set up tents and wait patiently. But that can't be done now.

, they simply don’t have that much time to waste.

The temple was getting closer and closer, and the young man in white robe riding on the camel couldn't help shouting God's blessing in his heart.

Originally, he was worried that the temple would be covered by yellow sand, so he specially brought ten people here. However, he did not expect that the sandstorm that had just passed had already helped them complete the most time-consuming excavation work in advance.

Before the camel could kneel down safely, the young man eagerly jumped down from it and took out the steel drill and hammer from the camel he was holding behind him.

Among the ten helpers following him, except for one who was still sitting on the camel holding a telescope to show off, the others all followed the same example and followed the young man quickly towards the abandoned temple with their own tools.

They have been running in the desert all day, and both the people and the camels have been dizzy from the sun. Every time they think of this, the young man can't help but think of the off-road vehicle abandoned by his father, if it can start.

, maybe they have already gone back by now.

The young man in white robe wondered whether he would encourage his father to buy an off-road vehicle that could be driven into the hinterland of the desert after this incident was over. Even if he couldn't afford a new one, he could even buy a second-hand one. In this way

If you dig out any treasures in the future, you won't have to deal with those spitting camels every day.

While thinking about good things, the young man and his companions broke into the shady abandoned temple.

However, before they could take two steps inside, a cooler pistol was pressed against the back of his head.

Before the young man in white robe had time to shout, a crisp gunshot was heard outside the temple, followed by the panicked shouts of the camels.

"Danglanglang"

There was a crisp sound of metal hitting the granite floor, and the 10 young people standing at the entrance of the temple dropped all the tools in their hands.

"You know where the old grave robber Morsi is, right?"

The security captain asked teasingly, "If you shake your head, I will kill one of your companions. If your companion nods before you, I will kill you."

Before he finished speaking, the ten young men with guns pressed to the back of their heads began to nod wildly.

The security captain nodded with satisfaction and said in Arabic to the teammates behind him, "Separate guard, I will personally examine them one by one. If the answer is different from the others, I will kill him!"

The team members, who had no idea what the captain was talking about, responded in unison in Arabic, which they had just learned half an hour ago, and then tied the hands of their captives behind their backs with straps and escorted them to different locations.

"You come first"

The security captain raised the chin of the young man in white robe with the muzzle of his gun, "Where is that old tomb robber Morsi?"

The young man in white robe swallowed his saliva, and after a moment of hesitation, he honestly gave the true answer.

"I hope their answers match yours."

The security captain kicked the young man in white robes on the knee socket, then winked at the team member beside him, who suppressed a laugh and stepped on the young man's back with his boot.

Outside the temple, crisp gunshots rang out sporadically, followed by screams and the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground.

"I've got two answers now, so ask round two."

The security captain squatted beside the young man in white robe, "Where is the old tomb robber Morsi?"

The young man collapsed completely and cried, "He is at the location I just said, I didn't lie!"

The security captain glanced at the water stain between the young man's crotch, tried to keep a serious expression and left again. Not long after, two gunshots rang out again outside the temple.

When the security captain asked the same question for the third time, the young man in white robe burst into tears and shouted, "Everything I said is true, I didn't lie!"

"boom!"

The security captain pointed his gun at the young man and simulated gunshots with his mouth, but his face was full of a smile after a successful prank.

"Take off all their clothes, and for the sake of Pharaoh, leave them a pair of underwear, then tie their hands and feet and keep them under guard."

As soon as the security captain finished speaking, the frightened young man saw his companions being sent into the temple alive and kicking one by one. Not only them, but even the one on guard outside was not injured, except for the young camel they brought.

Both ends.

All humans and animals rushed into the temple and were kept under separate supervision. The security captain took out his satellite phone and called Virgil.

On the other end of the phone, Virgil quickly wrote down a long list of addresses with complicated descriptions.

After hanging up the phone, Virgil said happily, "The security team captured the tomb robber's son and even asked for his specific location."

As he spoke, Virgil opened the map and said, "He is near a Gobi salt pond less than 30 kilometers away from us. It is said that everyone in the oasis knows where it is and can be found easily."

"Let's leave now!"

"Then we won't wait here?" Virgil stopped Shi Quan and asked.

"I've been waiting all night and all morning and no one showed up. It seems they are not ready to grab photos."

Shi Quan pulled out his gun and checked it, then said with a smile, "Since he doesn't plan to rob us, let's go rob him!"

"I'm going to find the guide now!" Virgil walked quickly out of the RV dragging his lame leg.

Not long after, four Tatras and two Unimogs rushed into the desert under the leadership of the guide.

The distance was only 30 kilometers, and it took six cars less than an hour to arrive near the salt pond.

This so-called salt pond has a huge area, and the ground is covered with thick salt crusts. From a distance, Shi Quan and others saw two pickup trucks that were not old and new, parked at the foot of a sand and gravel mountain, and the two pickup trucks

Behind it, there were several people wearing robes and holding steel drills in their hands, standing at the entrance of a cave that had obviously just been dug, looking out.

After they saw the extremely ostentatious RVs, these people rushed towards the two pickup trucks without hesitation.

The off-road vehicle that Virgil brought along with the security team would not let them succeed. Before the two pickup trucks could run far away, the Unimog chased after them and forced them to stop with a gun.

At the entrance of the cave dug there, He Tianlei and Elena each held a submachine gun with a silencer and blocked the people who had not had time to get into the car.

"Morsi, come out, your son is in our hands." Shi Quan shouted loudly while hiding outside the cave entrance.

"Don't let them shoot"

Morsi was straightforward, and soon walked out with his hands raised, and behind him, there were actually two old men following him.

"Don't hurt my child"

Morsi said in fluent Russian, "Everything in the mine belongs to you, but don't hurt those children."

"Where did you learn Russian?"

Big Ivan tore off the robes of the three old men and asked curiously when he saw that they didn't have any big flowers, a specialty of the Middle East, tied around their bodies.

"When I was young, I once worked as a translator for the Soviet adviser in Egypt." The old tomb robber had a bitter look on his face. He was still too impatient.

After handing Morsi over to the custody of the security team, Shi Quan winked at He Tianlei, who nodded in agreement and guarded the entrance of the cave with a gun.

Also not entering the cave were three women. They all hid in the cab as a third layer of insurance. As a result, the only ones who entered the cave were Shi Quan and Da Yiwan, as well as the lame Wei Wei.

Jill.

Walking along the cave, which had obviously just been dug not long ago, Shi Quan and others looked at this spacious and scary cave.

Although the cave entrance is buried by large and small gravels, leaving only a gap for people to enter and exit, it is actually wide enough to drive a jeep in without any problem.

They followed the cave all the way to the end and then turned a corner. What they saw in front of them almost made the three people's jaws drop.

At the very end of the cave is a Willys Jeep with an external water cooler hung on the front. Although this Jeep is made in the United States, it was used not only by the Allied forces of Britain, France and the United States on the North African battlefield, but also by the Axis Powers.

Germany and Italy will not disdain it after it is captured.

But the key point they discovered was not the Jeep, but the obelisk lying on the ground in front of the Jeep!

This obelisk is broken into two pieces in the middle. The total length of the two pieces together is at most more than two meters. It is still inlaid with gold and silver. The dry climate of the desert has not only made the metal on it slightly dim, but has not left any traces.

Too much rust.

At the end of the obelisk, a steel wire rope as thick as a little finger was carefully padded with a blanket. The other end of the steel wire rope was connected to the rear wheel of the jeep. The wheel had already had its tires removed, leaving only the

The bottom is used as the hub for the winch.

The three of them looked at the calf-thick logs that had been cracked under the obelisk, and they immediately understood how the obelisk was transported in the first place.

Looking at the logs that the old tomb robbers had just moved in before they could lay them out, and the jacks that were stuffed under the obelisk, it seemed that the group planned to transport it out in the same way.

In addition to the most conspicuous jeep and obelisk in the cave, there are also several wooden boxes and a broken crucible placed against the wall.

It's a pity that most of these boxes are empty, and even the two that remain contain only some worthless cans.
Chapter completed!
