After the other party nodded to him, he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "What do you want to talk about? If you want us to surrender, then let's do it!"
"Of course we won't surrender, but we are all here for the ancient city of Herakpus. There is no need to kill each other before we find the ancient city. We can work together!"
"Cooperation? How can we trust you not to take the opportunity to kill us? You know, you attacked us first this time!"
"Then what do you want, sir? Do you want to continue fighting?" After a pause, the other party asked again.
"boss?"
Looking at Rody's questioning eyes, Liu Dong thought for a moment and nodded.
He also understands that it is not good for everyone to continue the confrontation. And the only reason why they can persist under the siege of hundreds of people from the other side is that, in addition to the large number of weapons and ammunition stored in his mustard space, there are more
Because Clark Taylor, a key figure related to the ancient city of Heracles, was in their hands, they were afraid to use powerful weapons. Otherwise, Liu Dong and the others would have been blown to pieces by the opponent's heavy weapons.
!
"Okay, we can agree to your request. However, for the sake of safety, let your people retreat 500 meters away. And the number of your guards cannot be more than ours!" Rody said loudly.
After hearing this, Liu Dong was also satisfied with his thoroughness and careful thinking.
"Yes, I agree to your request. However, in exchange, Clark Taylor must be jointly controlled by both of us, and we must have a share of the map in his hand!"
"We can agree to the first condition, but the map can only be shared with you after we find the ancient city!" After receiving Liu Dong's explanation, Rody said loudly.
"Okay! I agree!" After a pause, the voice from the other side came from far away.
Subsequently, as the order was issued, the surrounding troops began to slowly retreat with the bodies of their fallen comrades, until they were 500 meters away from the verbal agreement reached by both parties, and then slowly stopped and made corrections.
Seeing this, Liu Dong and the others were relieved.
Although they had successfully blocked the enemy from outside just now, the long gun battle did not result in their own losses. Of the 13 secret door killers who originally followed Liu Dong, only 9 are left now! And there are still 13 secret door killers left with Liu Dong!
Three of them were injured. Fortunately, the gunshot wounds were not too serious. After being treated by Liu Dong, although they were no longer capable of fierce fighting, they were still able to walk without any problem.
"Boss, they're out!"
Looking at the armed men with rifles and wearing yellow-green desert camouflage combat uniforms who came out from behind the sand dunes 100 meters away, there were about 20 strong armed men. Liu Dong thought for a while and then turned around and said: "Rody, later
You are responsible for dealing with them!"
"Understood, boss!"
Liu Dong still wants to hide it for the time being.
Of course, the person behind the scenes of the other party was not among the 20 people who came out in front. An unbinding verbal agreement could not really make the two sides who were fighting for life and death a second ago truly put aside their past grudges. And this is what Liu said.
Something that Dong had expected a long time ago.
However, compared to the other party's cautiousness, Liu Dong, who was equally cautious but talented and bold, did not hide it like the other party.
"Let's go!"
After temporarily burying his four victims in the desert, Liu Dong called everyone out and walked out. However, this time it was Roddy who came to the front, while Liu Dong himself fell behind the team.
"I am Thiago. I wonder who among you is the leader?" After looking at Liu Dong and the others for a while, a tall, tough man with a fierce scar on his left cheek walked out of the crowd opposite and asked.
.
"That's me! You can call me Rody!" Aquarius Rody, who remembered Liu Dong's instructions, stepped forward and said.
After the two sides looked at each other for a while, Thiago was about to speak, but Clark Mueller, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, suddenly rushed out.
However, under the guard of many elites in the secret door, he obviously couldn't escape.
"Let me go, I won't leave, I want to know the news about Martha!"
Seeing Clark Taylor struggling violently in Rody's hands and roaring incessantly, Liu Dong secretly nodded towards Roddy.
With him here, even if there were more than twenty elite mercenaries nearby, Clark Taylor could never escape from his grasp.
"They are here. I have completed the task you assigned me. Shouldn't I return Martha to me now?" After being let go by Roddy, Clark staggered forward and grabbed Thiago's hands.
Arms, shouting to the other party with excitement and strong expectations.
Tiago's eyes flashed, and then he smiled and said: "Mr. Taylor, what we promised will naturally count. But now Ms. Martha's injury has not healed, so she is not here. If you want to see her
, you might as well help us find the ancient city of Herakpus first, and then we will send you to see her!"
"No, I want to see her now!"
"This is not possible! We had agreed at the beginning that you would help us find the ancient city of Herakpus first!" Thiago said.
Hearing this, Clark Taylor was suddenly startled, and then he remembered what he had promised the other party on the way to Egypt.
"But, how do I know if you are using me?" Clark Mueller, who was slightly calmer, hesitated.
"We still expect Mr. Muller to help us find the ancient city of Heracles. How could we fool you?" As he said, Thiago took out a few photos from his pocket, "These are specially prepared for Mr. Muller.
of!"
"Martha!!"
After seeing clearly what was on the photo, Sinclair, standing next to Clark Mueller, couldn't help but exclaimed.
Clark Mueller, whose excitement was palpable, couldn't help but look at three or four photos of his lover lying unconscious on the hospital bed over and over again.
"How is it? Mr. Mueller should believe our sincerity now, right?" Thiago said with a slight smile.
"Um!"
Clark Mueller nodded vigorously, and without looking away from the photo, he did not notice the trace of pride and ridicule flashing in Thiago's eyes.
But this cannot be hidden from Liu Dong, who always uses the relic Yuanguang to monitor everything.
From the subtle expression changes on Tiago's face, he could vaguely guess that the woman named Martha was probably not still alive in the world as the other party said.
However, even if there were speculations, Liu Dong did not confirm them.
He was originally not related to Clark Mueller, but after being tricked by him, it was already extremely merciful not to kill him, so why would he help? Liu Dongke never did anything to retaliate directly.
"Mr. Roddy, now we should discuss specific cooperation matters?"
Having secured the key figure Clark Mueller, Thiago once again turned his attention to Liu Dong and the others.
"certainly!"
After the almost tense atmosphere between the two parties had been eased by Clark Mueller's words and deeds just now, the subsequent negotiations went smoothly.
Of course, the reason why it went smoothly is that it was not complicated in the first place. In addition, under the evenly matched situation, both sides restrained each other's emotions very well.
But no one knows how long this restraint can last.
But what Liu Dong can be sure of is that this kind of weak trust will definitely disappear after the ancient city of Herakpus is truly born. By then, new exchanges of fire will be inevitable. However, Liu Dong is not worried about this.
As long as he finds the ancient city and obtains the treasures inside, he has the final say whether to stay or go!
"Mr. Mueller, now you should tell us where the entrance to the secret passage is, right?" Looking at Roddy's threatening eyes, Clark Mueller glanced at Liu Dong standing behind him from the corner of his eye, without specifying.
, but nodded calmly.
"I need some time!" Clark Mueller said.
"No problem, the most important thing we lack now is time!" Thiago said with a smile.
After hearing this, Clark Mueller nodded, took off the backpack from his back, and then assembled a simple metal detector with Sinclair's help.
"The wind and sand here are so strong that they often bury the entrance to the tunnel underground, so if you want to find it, you have to use a metal detector!"
After explaining to Roddy and Thiago, Clark Muller simply identified the location and began to search on the soft sand.
Seeing this, Roddy and Thiago looked at each other. Neither of them spoke, but waited quietly.
One minute, five minutes, ten minutes, after about half an hour passed, Clark Mueller concentrated, and then an expression of joy appeared on his face.
"Found it, it's right here!"
"Are you sure?" Thiago strode over and asked.
"Of course! I've been here more than once! You can't go wrong!"
After nodding, Thiago waved behind him, and soon a dozen elite mercenaries took out their engineering shovels and started digging quickly in the sand.
Seeing this, Rody also called his own people to help.
Because the sand was too soft, although it was very easy to dig it down with a shovel, there was not much sand dug out. It took more than two dozen men digging for nearly half an hour before they finally dug out a hole with a diameter of nearly ten meters.
, a sand pit with a depth of only about three meters.
In the center of the sand pit is a square thick steel plate with a side length of nearly two meters. The steel plates are not locked, but are only fastened together with metal nose buckles.
