Because he joined halfway, John was arranged in a tent outside, and the conditions in the desert were simple, which was the preferential treatment he received because of his revealed identity as a doctor.
However, John disliked the tents of these mercenaries who had a smell, so he made a simple small bed by the bonfire with stones and boxes, and prepared to sleep here.
Anyway, the night temperature in this desert area will not reach the level of freezing to death. In addition, they have entered the unique space of this ruins and will basically not be affected by the external environment temperature, except for the darkness.
I feel a little bit angry, so I don't have to worry about getting cold.
For John's strength, Yin Qi can be completely exempted without expelling it. Relying on the constitution of a divine creature alone can be completely exempted.
The number of expedition teams was less than twenty, but they occupied the best living conditions.
Compared to the simple shacks on the laborers' side, they live in military tents made of thick waterproof canvas.
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, most of the mercenaries who did not have vigil fell asleep in the camp. In this desert without women and no entertainment facilities, they did not have the energy or interest to stay up late.
In the most luxurious tent, the boss of the expedition team, Bobby Huggins, was talking with his two confidants and the newly-designed college assistant.
"Jack, is the information about Hamnatra accurate? Why has it been four days since we dug out the treasure yet?"
Jack felt terrified when he heard this, and said seriously on his face:
"Although I am only proficient in Arabic, there have been many scholars in Egypt in the past few hundred years that we have found no wrong place."
"And now, the most authoritative research on this city of the dead are experts from the UK. I bribed the employees of the Egyptian Museum and secretly copied the content of several British experts' research, Hamnatra's
The entrance is found from this research content.”
Hearing this, Huggins nodded with satisfaction.
Jack continued with relief:
"But these British people have never been here in person, but only from the records of their troops plundering from the descendants of the tomb-guarding tribes. It is speculated that the treasures of the pharaohs of all generations should be hidden at the foot of the statue of Anubis. This is the Pharaohs.
I hope to give wealth to Anubis the opportunity to live for eternal life…”
As an assistant, Jack has learned that his boss is cold-blooded and difficult to deal with. Once he loses his value, he may be abandoned in this desert at any time. So he has to try to be cautious in his words and actions, and also have to
I please my boss from time to time.
John, who was eavesdropping in the distance, heard this, and knew that the college student named Jack was fooling his employer, because anyone who knew anything about ancient Egyptian mythology knew that the true Lord of the Underworld was Osiris, and
It is not Anubis, but Anubis is just the god of the deceased, similar to the black and white impermanence in the Middle Land folklore, and of course its status is much higher than that of Black and White impermanence.
In the ancient Egyptian god system, Osiris is the Pluto who can truly judge the dead and decide whether the dead can obtain eternal life.
It seems that this college assistant is not as honest as he shows.
While the expedition teams had already settled, the labor camp was not as quiet as they thought.
Several more prestigious workers came to the center of the camp and were arguing with two local guides about something.
"Haka, do you know what these Americans are going to do? If you continue to dig like this, I believe that more than the two of Manny and the others should be injured..."
One of the guides named Haka quickly explained in the face of the question: "Didn't a doctor treat Manny and the others today?"
Another local man said dissatisfied: "I don't believe that the colonists would be so kind."
"Yes, outsiders are all bloody colonists, and they don't care about our life and death."
This period was a hot period when the Egyptian people sought independence and got rid of British colonial governance. In order to control the lifeline of the Suez Canal, Britain naturally could not give up Egypt, so the conflict between the two sides became increasingly obvious.
In addition, after experiencing the world war, the national strength that has not set has declined and has no longer been able to control the situation. Therefore, while they feared the European powers, they also developed the will to resist.
Facing the questioning and suspicious eyes of his companions, another guide had to speak:
"What can we do now? If you have a gun in your hand, you will definitely be beaten to death if you dare to escape. Besides, do you want the US dollar compensation every Wednesday?"
The words of this guide hit the workers' weakness.
Whether it is the threat of force or the generous wages, they cannot resist.
After all, the weekly salary of three US dollars doesn't sound much, but the US dollars in this era are real money and can be exchanged directly for corresponding gold at the bank. You should know that in recent years, US dollars are expected to surpass the francs and become one of the hard currencies.
Become an international currency second only to the British pound.
One US dollar is enough for them to exchange a large amount of local currency and support the family for a few days. You should know that the currency of colonial countries is famous for not retaining value, and locals do not like to collect it, just like the currency of the powerful countries
It's hard currency.
At this time, another middle-aged worker scolded:
"Haka, don't you know where Hamnatra is? This is a city of the dead! When we hired us, you didn't say you were here. We all thought it was just digging some ancient pyramid.
Did you sell us all here to die?"
Although people die for money and birds die for food, at this time, these ordinary poor locals do not have the greed and stingy heart of Grandet as the legendary Grandet. After all, they would be reluctant to leave their money and be poor.
For them, no money is more important than their own life, and everyone has a family to support.
So when faced with the legendary City of the Undead, everyone's desire to survive had the upper hand again, and the eyes of looking at the two guides became unkind again.
When the guide Haka saw that the situation was not good, he quickly looked pious.
"The stars and moon are above. What kind of city of the dead is just a story rumored by the ancients. The entire Nile covered area was conquered by the great Lord of the Star and Moon. Didn't the ancient Egyptian gods come out to resist?"
All the people present were Xingyue Cultists. Haka's ultimate move was released and he temporarily sootheed everyone's hearts. Everyone took out a blanket and started the collective prayer.
As for how long this soothing effect can last? It is unknown.
...
“Hamnatra?”
Soon, John, who was half lying by the bonfire, quietly revealed from the information revealed by the conversations and quarrels between the expedition and the local workers from time to time, he knew what Ham was
Natra.
Hamnatra is a legendary dangerous place in the ancient Egyptian desert. It is said to be a city of undead ruled by the undead.
According to legend, Hamnatra is a mysterious and ancient city located in the desert. It is said that the city is not so accurate because there are no living people in this city. It is said that it is the cemetery of pharaohs in ancient times and generations.
It is said that there are a lot of rare treasures here. After all, the pharaohs are rich in a country, and their burial objects must be beyond imagination. Therefore, this city of the dead attracts a constant stream of people to the Nuggets, but Hamna can be found.
There are very few people who bring back treasures. Or there are no real examples of returning treasure hunting. Perhaps those returning people may not have returned to hide their wealth.
Hamnatra has therefore become a mysterious existence and is called the "City of the Dead", which has become a taboo in the hearts of local people.
