After eating, drinking, and resting enough, the team set off again. The tuk-tuk driver Safir, who had always been a busy driver, finally had a serious job. Daniel's Pinzgauer cross-country bread was now driven by him.

However, in order to prevent this unlucky guy from having any undue thoughts, all the materials and supplies in the car, as well as the navigation equipment and radios, were all loaded into the container. The little fuel in the tank of this car alone did not have to worry about him at all.

Ran.

Although separated by nearly 100 kilometers, the black mountains of the Tibesti Plateau still undulate at the end of the sight outside the car window. At dusk, after the club's motorcade passed far around the Faialano Oasis, there was only one left of the western border of Chad.

The journey was less than 400 kilometers.

After all, the country of Chad itself is not that big. It is less than 1,000 kilometers from east to west. If the domestic road conditions were like this, it would take less than a day to cross the entire country. But in this sky full of yellow sand, I want to cover the rest of the way.

I'm afraid it will take another day.

While it was still daylight, the convoy found a location with open terrain for radar to work and set up camp again. This time, in addition to Asak's container truck, there was another truck that was surrounded by camouflage nets in the camp.

Pinzgauer.

While Elena and others went to take pictures on the nearby sand dunes, Shi Quan and Da Ivan got into the medical car and sat on the chairs on both sides of the hospital bed.

"Daniel, it will take at least half a month or even longer for your wound to heal."

Shi Quan crossed his legs and played with the Hindenburg gold coin in his hand, "This place is about less than 100 kilometers away from the Faialano Oasis. What do you think of the situation? Can you drive this distance by yourself?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Daniel was half leaning on the rocked hospital bed. "My whole leg is hurting, but I can't control it at all."

"In this case, considering that your mother is Chinese, we will leave you enough supplies and medicines tomorrow morning to last for half a month. I hope you can survive."

"Are you also coming to the Sahara Desert for a self-driving trip?"

Daniel sat up with difficulty and asked. If he had not been bitten by a poisonous snake, he would be happy to accept this gift, but in the current situation, he would be asking for death by staying in the desert.

Seeing Shi Quan and the other two just staring at him with smiles on their faces without speaking, Daniel shrugged, "Okay, buddy, my destination is Dakar, the westernmost part of Africa. If you're on the way, can you pick me up?"

Shi Quan and Dayi Wan looked at each other calmly, "You have a satellite phone, you can call for help and leave by yourself."

"Come on!"

Daniel lay back on the hospital bed as if frustrated, "After I was bitten by the snake, I called the Maple Leaf Consulate in Chad twice. They asked me to wait for ten minutes. Guess what they said? They asked me to contact the U.S. Embassy in Chad. Wait.

After I finally got through to the U.S. Embassy in Chad, they hung up the phone because I was not an American.”

"How did you come to Chad?" Shi Quan asked abruptly.

Daniel's expression became a little unnatural, and he struggled for a moment and finally decided to tell the truth, "I got off the ship from Cape Town Port in South Africa two months ago, and then drove all the way north through South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Congo and Central Africa.

."

"Then what?" Shi Quan asked carefully.

"Then smuggled into Chad."

Daniel said awkwardly, "I didn't get a visa for this country, but I have already decided on a plan to go west from Chad through the Sahara Desert."

"So the excavation permit is also fake?" Big Ivan asked with a half-smile.

Daniel continued to nod awkwardly, "I forged it myself by referring to the excavation permit our school obtained last year."

"Is this all for this?" Shi Quan took out the photo that Elena found and continued to ask.

Daniel's eyes shrank, and he nodded with difficulty and admitted, "Self-driving is my main plan, and finding the people in the photo is just a matter of convenience."

"I'm afraid you're not looking for someone, right?" Big Ivan stared at Daniel with a look like "Do you think I'm a fool?"

The Shiquan brothers don't mind being good guys and giving Daniel a ride, and they're not very interested in his secrets. But if these two factors are added together, they have to figure out Daniel's true purpose.

Of course, if he cannot give a reasonable explanation, the result will be that he can only leave some supplies and let him fend for himself in the hinterland of the Sahara, as Shi Quan said at the beginning.

Daniel naturally guessed what Shi Quan and the two were thinking, and reluctantly told the truth, "The person in the photo is Logan, a professor of paleontology at the university where I work. He disappeared in the Sahara almost ten years ago.

Shortly after I joined the university's archives last year, I accidentally discovered some of Professor Logan's research materials, and found the photo and part of his research in these materials."

"Continue" Big Ivan said noncommittally.

"Professor Logan secretly searched for a lost primitive tribe in the Sahara many times during his lifetime. Based on the existing discoveries, he inferred that the totem of this tribe may be a complete dinosaur fossil."

"So you're here to find those fossils?"

Daniel nodded matter-of-factly, but said, "It would be best if we could find it. After all, a complete set of fossils can be worth a lot of money. But what I want to find more is the tribe that has disappeared. In this case, Professor Logan was alive

The unfinished research can continue, and I can get a lot of benefits from it."

I'm afraid the second half of the sentence is your real purpose, right?

Shi Quan sneered. He didn't despise Daniel. As the saying goes, don't take advantage of the bastard. Edison even took other people's inventions as his own. We all have human flesh, and those who do research are not necessarily better than the earthly ones.

How noble are the diggers who are digging for food?

Besides, this Daniel, who seemed to be not much older than himself, dared to take risks and enter the Sahara Desert alone. This alone was much better than those talkative people who only knew how to be greedy but not hardworking.

Big Iwan glanced at Shi Quan, and when he saw the other person gently flicking the gold coin in his hand that he had not taken out for a long time, he already knew his decision.

"Daniel, my friend."

Big Ivan sat up straight and said enthusiastically, "There is a saying in China...Forget it, no matter what the saying is. In short, we can take you out of this safe place without affecting your schedule.

We can also help you find that tribe."

"Really?! Thank you!" Daniel said in surprise.

"Don't worry"

A philistine smile appeared on Big Ivan's face, "But there are a few things I want to remind you. First of all, we will not change our existing plans and routes for any reason, let alone delay too much time because of any of your discoveries.

"

"certainly!"

Daniel nodded without thinking. He had given up the idea of ​​looking for Professor Logan and just wanted to find another way to complete this self-driving trip that he had been preparing for a year.

"In addition, if we discover the tribe you mentioned, apart from the academic discoveries, the rest, including the dragon you mentioned, will belong to us." Only then did Big Ivan reveal himself.

Fangs.

"Forehead..."

Daniel opened his mouth wide and stared at Big Ivan in surprise for a long time. Then he looked at Shi Quan on the other side of the hospital bed who was playing with gold coins. Finally, he nodded helplessly, "Okay, I agree with you. After all, a bottle of water is in the desert."

All can..."

"Want some water?"

Big Ivan didn't even wait for him to finish speaking, he quickly pulled out a bottle of water from the cabinet next to him, unscrewed the cap of the bottle himself and put it into Daniel's mouth. Seeing this, the latter could only swallow the second half of the sentence in confusion.

He stretched his neck and took a symbolic sip.

I couldn't even see it! Couldn't this bastard have a decent face, be a bit promising, and pay attention to his eating habits? Shi Quan couldn't sit still anymore, put away the gold coins and quickly left the medical vehicle.

Big Ivan almost followed him out, and the two brothers walked a few steps further away, leaning against the lead-sealed container truck and each lighting a cigarette.

"Why bring such a burden?"

Big Ivan puffed out a puff of smoke and asked inexplicably, "Do you also want to publish a paper in some magazine? Or do you want to be a cultural person?"

"My third-rate academic qualifications make me a shitty intellectual!"

Shi Quan raised his chin towards the medical vehicle, "The value of this Daniel is not what he said. Besides, we have gained enough from this trip to North Africa."

"What are you interested in?" Big Ivan thought for a while, "Because his mother is Chinese?"

"Ivan, do you know anything about the Sahara?" Shi Quan turned around and asked.

"The largest desert in the world..." Halfway through, Big Ivan suddenly realized, "Guide!"

"right!"

Shi Quan had a teachable expression, "We had no intention of crossing the Sahara Desert before we came here. Although this Daniel may not be much better than us, it can be seen that he has prepared for this self-driving for a long enough time, otherwise

He doesn’t dare to drive across the Sahara alone. I think having this person here can help us avoid some risks that we may encounter in the desert.”

"So what kind of tribe is he?"

"Give him some opportunities and time without wasting time or affecting the plan." Shi Quan tossed the gold coins he took out again, "We must give the free guide some motivation and hope."

"Yuri, your cunning and cunning are more and more like Andre's." Big Ivan said seriously.

"Don't compare me to that old guy."

Shi Quan took out Daniel's passport from his bag and handed it to Big Ivan, "Find a way to check this Daniel's identity and see if what he said is true. After all, the probability of meeting someone in the desert is really low.

"

"Your caution and suspicion are becoming more and more like that old bastard Ludenkov." Ivan the Great took the passport and continued to tease.

"You've had enough"

Shi Quan raised his arm towards Elena, who was waving to him from the top of the dune not far away, "It's up to you and Nasha to prepare dinner. Remember to ask the tuk-tuk driver to get some Egyptian flatbreads. That crap is at least as good as

Dalieba is delicious.”

After saying that, Shi Quan didn't give Big Ivan a chance to refute, and rushed towards Elena.
Chapter completed!
