It was very quiet in the car. The off-road vehicle was speeding in the desert, and the rough gravel hit the glass window, making a crackling sound.
Robin Hood slowly glanced at everyone: "Why are they all silent and silent?"
"Mr. Zheng, as the vice-captain, please tell me what you are thinking first!" Robin Hood pointed at Mr. Zheng and said.
Mr. Zheng sighed: "I'm thinking that our enemy is really powerful, far beyond our expectations!"
Robin Hood said: "What's wrong? Do you regret it a little?"
Zheng Man smiled faintly, clenched his fists and said: "I have never regretted in my life dictionary! Enemies that are strong enough can arouse our fighting enthusiasm. I am very much looking forward to competing with this thunder and lightning mercenary group."
Down!"
"Yes!" Jia Ke wiped his sniper rifle and said coldly: "Our Dragon Group is the number one special operations team in China. How can we lose to a mercenary group?"
"That's right!" Mao Xiaowu breathed on the saber, wiped it with his sleeve, polished the blade sharply, and said coldly: "No matter how powerful the enemy is, I will use this saber to cut off their heads!"
"Very good!" Robin Hood was very satisfied with the performance of the team members: "What I need is your current high fighting spirit and unyielding morale! We are China's number one special operations team, we must have confidence in ourselves! We must have confidence in ourselves!
You know, in the eyes of the enemy, we are also a powerful opponent!"
Yang Xiaoxiao held her little face in her hands and said, "Actually, I'm quite looking forward to this trip to the desert. It feels like I'm going to rob a tomb. It's so exciting!"
"Hehe!" Wan Juncheng said with a smile: "When tomb robbing novels were the most popular on the Internet, I followed them every day. At that time, I was thinking about when I could also go to tomb robbing. I didn't expect that this dream would come true now.
, and the first time I robbed a tomb was the tomb of an Egyptian Pharaoh, it was like a dream, unbelievable!”
Robin Hood said: "Don't be too happy. Maybe the Thunder Mercenary Group is not as scary as the virus mechanism in the ancient tomb. This mission is definitely more dangerous than any of our previous missions. We can't take it lightly!"
After a whole day of running around, the off-road vehicle drove hundreds of kilometers in the deserted desert and arrived at a small village called Zaka on the edge of the desert. After passing this small village and walking further, we reached the vast Sahara.
It's a big desert.
According to the instructions on the camel skin map, Robin Hood and the others must first arrive at the small village of Zaka and look for an old guide named Aimoka.
After bumping in the carriage all day, the team members were all a little drowsy. If they hadn't had excellent physical fitness, all the bones in their bodies would have been knocked apart, and ordinary people would have been unable to get up.
This is a small village.
It's really a very, very small village.
Standing at the entrance of the village, you can almost see the end of the village.
This is only a village in name, but in fact there are only a dozen or twenty families living sparsely. It looks extremely desolate and lifeless, as if you have walked into the ruins of a forgotten ancient city.
Gu Fei parked the off-road vehicle at the entrance of the village, and the team members got out of the vehicle one after another.
Wan Juncheng stretched out, opened his mouth and shouted: "Oh my God! My shit is about to come out..."
A gust of wind blew up, picking up yellow sand and hitting Wan Juncheng on the face. Wan Juncheng's voice stopped abruptly.
His face and mouth were filled with yellow sand. He bent over and spat out the sand in his mouth, looking very embarrassed.
Robin Hood said: "The wind and sand are too strong here. It's best for everyone to talk as little as possible to avoid blowing sand into your mouth!"
It is said to be a village, but it is actually a small gathering place with more than a dozen houses gathered together. I don’t know how these ten or twenty families live here. Every corner of the world has human footprints.
, mountains, jungles, ice fields, swamps. Perhaps for the people here, the desert is their home.
The afterglow of the setting sun bathes Zaka Village, and only the whistling wind blows from the entrance to the end of the village.
Tranquility is the biggest feeling in Zaka Village.
The sunset in the desert is very beautiful, with a tragic beauty.
The crimson sunset dances across the sky, like burning flames, jumping blazingly where the desert meets the blue sky.
The eight members of the dragon group got off the bus, dispersed into a fan shape, and slowly advanced toward the village.
They raised their assault rifles and paid full attention to what was going on around them.
No matter when, you can't let down your guard. God knows if there will be any danger in this lifeless Zaka village.
The houses here are all made of rocks. There is no shape or beauty. It is just that under the constant erosion of wind and sand, these rock houses have been polished into angular shapes and they look a bit unique.
.
Judging from the weathering conditions on the surfaces of those houses, it can be seen that these houses have been around for some years and appear to be very old.
Walking in the village is like traveling through time and entering an ancient era.
Oh, by the way, there are no roads in Zaka Village.
Even if there is a road, it is covered with yellow sand all over the ground, leaving nothing behind.
The only thing left behind is the string of footprints left behind.
Ding-ding-ding-ding! Ding-ding-ding-ding!
A sound of camel bells came from the entrance of the village, floating in the vast sky.
The team members subconsciously raised their guns and aimed at the entrance of the village, and saw a camel team wandering in from the entrance of the village.
There were six people in the camel team and twelve camels.
Six camels carry people, and six camels carry goods.
The six men were dressed in indigenous costumes and scarves, and were holding destructive weapons such as crossbows, strong bows, and double-barreled gunpowder guns.
The man in the lead was thin and had white hair. He looked like an old man.
He raised his palms to signal the camel caravan to stop, and then the group looked at the group of heavily armed soldiers with vigilance.
The distance between the two sides was only twenty meters. The indigenous people were slightly startled at first, then raised their weapons and pointed them at the Dragon Team members.
The members of the Dragon Team couldn't help but become nervous. They all opened the safety of their assault rifles and pointed the black muzzles at the indigenous people.
At a distance of twenty meters, those hard crossbows and strong bows were not unyielding, and the sharp arrow clusters shone with a dazzling cold light under the sun.
Robin Hood obviously realized this, so he immediately ordered the team members to put down their weapons.
Then he raised his chin at Yang Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, go talk to them and tell us the purpose of coming here. We have no malicious intentions!"
Yang Xiaoxiao nodded and walked towards the old man taking the lead with an assault rifle.
The two chatted quietly, and the old man nodded and asked the men behind him to put down their weapons. The tense atmosphere finally eased.
The old man got off the camel's back and followed Yang Xiaoxiao to Robin Hood.
Yang Xiaoxiao said happily: "Captain, this is the Emerka we are looking for!"
"Are you Emelka?" Robin Hood looked at the old man in front of him.
The old man nodded, reached out and took off his mask, revealing his old face.
Due to living under these difficult natural conditions all year round, the scorching sun, wind and sand have greatly damaged their skin. This old man is only about fifty years old at most, but he looks more than seventy years old. His face is dark and thin
, like cracked tree bark with criss-crossed ravines, making it look particularly old.
The old man covered his chest with one hand, bowed slightly and said, "Hello, I am Aimoka!"
Robin Hood shook hands with Aimoka, and Aimoka stretched out her hand. It was as rough as a dead branch, but her fingers were very strong.
"We are sent by King Muhalla!" said Robin Hood.
Aimoka nodded: "The beautiful lady next to me just told me that since you are the envoys sent by King Muhalla, you are the distinguished guests of Zaka Village. Please come with me!"
Robin Hood imitated Aimoka's posture, covering his chest with one hand, bowing and saying: "Thank you!"
The camel team entered the village and heard the clear ringing of camel bells. Many villagers ran out of their stone houses and greeted the camel team happily. When they saw Robin Hood and his party, they were a little wary at first, but when they saw Aimoka
After chatting cordially with Robin Hood, they felt relieved and warmly welcomed the guests.
This camel caravan was like a team returning in triumph. The villagers of Zaka Village lined the streets to welcome them back.
After a short conversation, Robin Hood learned that Aimoka is the leader of Zaka Village. His status is equivalent to what we call the village chief. He has a high status and majesty in the village. Basically, all villagers will obey his orders.
Behind Aimoka were five outstanding hunters selected from Zaka Village. They had just returned from hunting in the desert. Don't think that only people living in jungles and mountains can hunt. People living in desert areas are the same.
Can hunt. Because the natural conditions in the desert area are very harsh and no crops can grow, so the villagers basically get their food from hunting. Hunting like this happens about once a week, and each hunt basically guarantees that the villagers can survive for a week.
rations. Day after day, this has become the most important mission of every villager in Zaka Village.
In fact, the vast desert is not as lifeless as we see on the surface. There are also many animals and plants in the desert. Such as hares, jerboas, gerbils, and even lizards and snakes, these are the favorites of the villagers of Zaka Village.
Daily food. In addition to these, there are also slightly larger ostriches, vultures, wild wolves, etc.
There is a gathering square in the center of Zaka Village.
The square is very simple, with many strips of stones surrounding a large circle, which becomes a square.
At this moment, the center of the square was filled with firewood. Some women and children were sitting around the square, looking expectantly at the returning camel team, with joyful smiles on their faces. In their view, the return of the camel team meant
