In order to make the previous excuse more real, Bella stayed in the hotel for another two days.

Two days later, as the captain, she regained her mobility, and their archaeological expedition team headed for the Sea of ​​Galilee under the escort of the US military.

They set off from Tel Aviv and took a boat directly to Haifa, no, Haifa.

Then take a jeep and head to Tiberias, a city on the Sea of ​​Galilee.

This city cannot be compared with Tel Aviv, but there are hotels here and you can occasionally see a few tourists.

Bella once again determined the course of action with several American soldiers in the hotel.

She drew several circles on the map, which is the area on the east side of the Sea of ​​Galilee, close to Jordan: "Here, here and here are the areas we want to focus on. These places are barren mountains and are relatively safe.

As guaranteed, if no ancient ruins are found, we will continue to walk northeast and go deep into the Golan Heights."

After hearing what she said, Sam bared his teeth a little. Do you really dare to say that you would go deep into the Golan Heights? He thought it was not surprising that these young masters and ladies would rush into other people's war zones.

Bella saw the dilemma he and the other three American troops were in: "Don't worry, I have done a lot of preliminary work, and I said this in the Nicene Creed..."

Sam quickly interrupted her, "Okay! You don't have to talk to me about the Bible! Our faith is not that religious!"

Even if he is not religious, he cannot say that he does not believe in God. This is a matter of principle.

Final repairs were made in Tiberias, and some unnecessary items were stored in the hotel. They only brought necessary supplies, weapons and ammunition, and then took a motorboat to the eastern mountains of the Sea of ​​Galilee.

Their physical strength is really good! As soon as they entered the mountainous area, Sam discovered the strength of these young masters and young ladies.

Bella carried a large amount of archaeological equipment on her back, such as a simple version of an X-ray fluorescence analyzer, a thermoluminescence dosimeter, a camera for taking pictures, various brushes, and plaster for fixation, and walked with Sam at the front of the team.

Barbara, Heather, and Sam were walking in the middle. The three of them were also carrying a lot of instruments for soil testing, air testing, and all kinds of equipment. Among them, Sam, the only male in the archaeological team, was more important.

It was used like an animal, carrying a camping tent that was as tall as a person on its back, and also carried four shovels.

According to Bella's idea, anyway, the Wen brothers have this unique skill in digging, so don't waste it. Four shovels are prepared for Sam, just in case he doesn't have fun digging...

The remaining three American soldiers were on guard on the left, right and rear respectively.

Although Sam is determined to study law and completely break away from his family's past, it is true that he has been influenced by it since he was a child. His understanding of Christianity is far higher than ordinary people, and he can tell all kinds of allusions and legends endlessly.

Heather was originally an honest child, but after getting to know Bella and her boyfriend Max, her knowledge of occult science gradually increased.

Now when we talk about the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, we are all very happy.

These kids are so superstitious! Sam listened from a distance, filled with pessimism about the American education system. How could there be any demons in reality? If there were, they would have to be caught and dissected in the laboratory!

They searched the first area designated by Beira for two days, but found nothing.

There are only the excrement of many wild beasts and some traces of human activities in the cave. There are no murals, older imprints, carvings and the like.

Four US troops protected the four people. They knocked twice on the east side and dug a hole on the west side. They searched carefully for two days. It cannot be said that nothing was missed. At least all visible blind spots were searched.

There are no ancient Christian ruins here as Bella mentioned.

"Then let's go to the next area, to the caves about three kilometers away in the northeast."

The second search point also yielded no results, followed by the third and fourth.

As they penetrate deeper into Jordan, small-scale firefights become necessary. This area is not peaceful, with guerrillas, mercenaries, disorganized rebels, losers of the coup, and convoys formed spontaneously by the neighbors.

There are a lot of different armed groups.

Not to mention outsiders like Bella and others, even the locals sometimes have trouble figuring out which side these people belong to.

They can avoid it if they can, and if they can't avoid it, they can spend money to pay tolls. This money can also be included in the necessary expenses of the research team.

Some armed groups don't want to cause trouble after seeing that they are Americans instead of Israelis. At most, they bargain for tolls and then wave their hands and go away. But if they are stubborn, they will look at women when they see them.

Bella and the others wouldn't be polite to someone with a bulging crotch.

"Pay attention to the left!" Bella pushed Sam away, raised her hand and fired, killing a bandit wearing a turban.

Sam couldn't figure out why she always emphasized this sentence, but with Bella's assistance, their team could often kill the gangsters on the opposite side without taking any damage, and their record was not generally good.

"Actually, you can consider using a combination of shield and pistol. Don't you think you have a talent for using a shield?" Bella said casually.

Really? Sam was frightened by her seriousness of "I've read a lot and won't lie to you." He planned to find a shield to practice with when he had time.

...

The archaeological expedition team has been wandering around the mountains for half a month. Brother Sam has dug countless holes, but he is indeed very skilled. A shovel can be used as powerful as a rainbow, and one shovel can hold three.

Bella didn't completely let him do the heavy work alone. Occasionally, she would dig a few times, but her efficiency couldn't be compared with Sam's.

"Hey! Come to me!" Heather's luck was as good as ever, and she found traces, very ancient traces, on a rock wall that Bella designated as the last cave group.

It is vague and can be recognized as Hebrew, meaning to move forward. The handwriting is very fuzzy and the surface is uneven. It seems that it has experienced an extremely long period of time. If you are not looking for it with purpose, you will not be able to tell what it is.

thing.

Bella used a brush to remove all the dirt next to the writing, and then used a wooden knife to scrape off the stains on the writing bit by bit.

Take two steps away and look carefully. It is indeed the word "forward" in Hebrew. This word is quite complicated and definitely not born naturally.

"Collect materials!" she ordered, and the three friends took photos from different angles. Barbara also took out the camera, preparing to record the next historic scene.

Sam and the four American troops were also very excited. Although this operation was a little more dangerous and tiring, they all knew that this archeology was related to ancient Christianity. Seeing that there had been a breakthrough, several of them felt warm in their hearts.
