bit stealing game

Chapter 85 The Cold Sun

In the vast desert, a round of red sun rises from the horizon, blurring the boundaries.

The last night, after all, turned over.

Fortunately, the newborn sun can also be used for positioning.Even if we can't make it to the temple of Thutmose III, we are still walking in the established direction.I don't know if luck is good or not, but I soon ran into He Rongchuan who came to look for us.Li Yuan led the right way, if he didn't turn back last night, he might have caught up.

Li Yuan, who had stopped thinking about it, looked as usual, and even became lighter as if he was relieved.But it's hard for me to really let go.

He Rongchuan smiled as soon as we met: "You two, is this a difficult night?" He checked us with concern to see if we were injured.

Li Yuan was still wearing his old man's shirt with a hole in it, so he could see everything at a glance.I was wrapped up like a zongzi, with a bloody bandage around my neck, and I looked really miserable.The only thing I'm lucky about now is that the visitor is He Rongchuan, who looks like a normal person relatively speaking, and I also left a pair of pants for Li Yuan anyway.

"Come on, let's go back and rest for a while, we'll talk about it after we sleep." He Rongchuan didn't ask the question, but led us to walk back quickly.He didn't mention it, and I didn't dare to ask where the others were, for fear that Li Yuan would be provoked.

The simple camp was silent, no one was moving around, and even a few camels were lying quietly.This is also expected, those people are probably already in the temple of Thutmose III.There was only one person, hunched over slightly, fidgeting and looking around outside, but he still didn't forget to grab a handful of melon seeds and crack them.

But it's Lou Shiqi.

This guy was really lucky. After being pulled down the sand sea, he hugged the tree roots and didn't get thrown down by the quicksand.And when the tree sank, the quicksand also stopped.Lou Shiqi obediently abided by the principle of waiting wherever he got lost and never left.Jiang Can found him when he followed Li Yuan.

Seeing that Lou Shiqi was fine, I was relieved.But seeing him looking extremely excited, I was so angry that I almost died in the desert after starving for a whole day.If I wasn't so thirsty, I really wanted to put that lollipop in my mouth and bite it into pieces.

Before I was able to grab the building and Qissed the evil fire, I was stopped in place by a voice.

"What did you guys do last night?" Carl walked out of a tent with a curtain that was opened with a bad face. "Why is there blood on your body?"

Following his words, more people appeared from different places, and it seemed that they were busy with different tasks just now.Arnold combed back his curly hair showing the golden roots artificially with his hands, and looked at us with concern.

I was completely dazed, and subconsciously tightened Li Yuan's coat to cover the bloody bandage on my neck.Turning his head stiffly, he only saw Li Yuan's cold side face.

"Aren't you surprised we're back? Do you still want to know where your people are, Mr. Boothwell?"

Sure enough, Boothwell stood in the crowd wearing a long trench coat, his eyes fixed on our side.

Li Yuan didn't even lift his eyelids. "The blood on her body is mine." If others had shed so much blood, they would have gone west long ago. Li Yuan can still stand here to criticize and no one has asked the bottom line. "As for those who sent us to the extra trip last night, I'm afraid you can only ask the Lord of the Desert."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan asked He Rongchuan to lead the way, and they went to the 279 site together.The people from the United Nations stared at us gloomily and slowly moved into the sight of everyone.It's no wonder that Lou Shiqi stayed outside nervously, because he was staying in the enemy's camp.As we passed Boothville, his inquisitive eyes fell on me, causing me to stiffen so that I was not shivering with cold.

Yano followed with two cups of camel milk coffee and handed them to Li Yuan and me respectively.

"What's going on?" I ignored Arno who was watching the excitement, and asked as soon as I arrived at the site of 279, "Why are Boothwell and Karl staying in the camp? Didn't they go to the temple?"

He Rongchuan and Lou Shiqi looked at each other in blank dismay.

"You didn't tell them?"

"What's the matter?"

"Yesterday's sacrifice failed, and the temple of Thutmose III did not appear." Jiang Can walked from outside the camp.His boots were covered with snow water, and his feet were covered with mud and sand.

Failed?
I looked at Li Yuan.He seemed to have guessed the situation, frowned and asked, "Then what did you do just now?"

"Work."

Jiang Can put down these two words, went into the tent, took something and went out again.Li Yuan didn't stop him again, but just followed him.I quickly took off my coat and returned it to him.Yanuo pointed to Li Yuan, nodded at me, and left together.

279 is like this, going all out for things that don't know if they can be done.

The snow in the desert comes suddenly and walks gracefully.Before the sun was in place, the thin whiteness disappeared, replaced by the vitality blooming all the way to our feet.

"There is no one in this desert, so it's useless to drive."

"A flower blooms on its own, it doesn't matter if anyone sees it or not."

Lou Shiqi picked up a trampled wild flower, looked around, and pinned it in the buttonhole of his clothes.Now there are only three of us left in this camp, but neither Lou Shiqi nor He Rongchuan can tell what to do next.

I was so tired that I told the two of them to call me if they had anything to do. After drinking two sips of water, I didn't even bother to eat, so I fell asleep after entering the tent.

This sleep from morning to afternoon.Most luggage is lost in quicksand.In fact, compared with nature, no matter how sophisticated the equipment is, it is useless.

After getting enough sleep, my stomach starts to protest.

Lou Shiqi and Chang Xiao were squatting on the sand to roast chicken, and there were still a lot of leftover bones scattered around.Everyone threw away their helmets and armor, but they still had meat to eat.If it hadn't been for the snowfall, the lack of water alone would have paralyzed the movement.

Seeing me leaning over, Lou Shiqi handed me the one in his hand.

"The people over there can hunt, and give it to us."

Can even get food from his mouth?Surprised, I took the heavy roast chicken and grabbed a leg and ate it.The taste of this robust roast chicken is a bit astringent, with an indescribably strange taste.

"What did you put in it, it smells a bit wrong."

"We don't even have salt, the freshly beaten ones over there are directly roasted." Lou Shiqi pouted at the drunk James next door, who was pouring the last drop of wine into his mouth.

"Why don't you eat?" I said suspiciously.

Before Lou Shiqi could speak, Chang Xiao asked, "You are an archaeologist, have you ever learned to recognize bones?"

I nod. "But only those who know people."

"Human bones are recognized accordingly." Chang Xiao poked the chicken bone in front of him with a branch. "Using these bones, can you spell it out according to the one in your own hand?"

How difficult is this.I returned most of the rest of the rotisserie chicken back to the fire, and in no time the bone rack was back on.

"What did you spell?"

"A dead chicken."

Lou Shiqi held back a smile at the side.Chang laughed and said, "No, these bones can spell out a barn owl."

"A what?" I thought I had heard wrong.

"It's a kind of owl." Lou Shiqi continued.

How is it possible to spell an owl out of chicken bones?I looked at the dinner on the fire again, and it really didn't look like a chicken.But the wild ones, maybe they just need to be stronger?
"You think it's impossible because you're eating it, and the barn owl is not a common poultry." Chang Xiao still had that half-dead face.

I turned my head and looked at Lou Shiqi in disbelief. "Is this a fucking owl? You want me to eat owls?"

"You really think I can give you roast chicken." He smiled meanly. "But don't worry, this is not protecting animals. Except for the North and South Poles, there are everywhere, and there are many in this area alone."

I glanced at the roasted owl on the fire, covered my mouth and ran out to vomit.I rinsed my mouth for a long time, and when I came back and saw the building, Qi was eating vigorously holding the owl that I dropped just now, and almost vomited it out again.

"Is there something wrong with you fucking?" My stomach churns, I snatch the owl from his hand and throw it on the ground. "Don't eat it. You can't go to the temple anyway, and you can go back if you bear it."

"Who said it's impossible to go?" Chang Xiao slowly put together the bones on the ground.

When I thought that someone had gnawed an owl clean, I was in a bad mood, and it took me a long time to realize the meaning of his words.

"Didn't you fail yesterday? That's the full moon borrowed on the last day." Although I really want to see the temple of Thutmose III, I would rather my and Li Yuan's wishes be in vain.

"Didn't your archaeological team invite us to eat dumplings seven days ago?" Chang Xiao said.

"Why, one owl is not enough for you, and you are still thinking about dumplings?"

"Look, you will always be taken away by others." Chang Xiao looked at the barbecue I fell on the ground for the second time, and was quite speechless. "A well-roasted bird will be wasted by you. If you don't eat it yourself, you won't allow others to eat it."

Lou Shiqi nodded vigorously at the side.

I wondered if I was still sleep-deprived, and had no idea what I was doing right now.

"Do you still remember why your archaeological team made dumplings?"

"Because of Laba."

"What about after seven days in Laba?"

"After seven days of Laba, it will be fifteen."

After speaking, I suddenly realized the problem.

"Today is fifteen!"

Chang smiled and nodded.

"No matter how round the borrowed moon is, it can't compare to the real one."

Although it is not sure whether the real moon will work today, everyone is still preparing with all their strength.Li Yuan naturally won't be idle, and even now I haven't even seen the members of 279 except Chang Xiao and Jiang Can.

Chang Xiao also patted my ass and left after giving me a hard time, leaving a sentence: "Human thinking is like this, it is easy to be misled by the existing conditions, and use your own cognition to construct the unknown. But always There are times when common sense doesn’t work.”

I always feel that he can't just eat owls to disgust me, but I can't figure out what his intention is.

Lou Shiqi's and my dinner were covered in sand, and neither of us could take a bite out of the sand sculpture, as we all thought it was caused by the other party.In the end, he had no choice but to break the only piece of chocolate left by Lou Shiqi Shuoguo in half and eat it separately.It's not that 279 doesn't give us food, it's just that no one cares about us now.

Stephanie swaggered past us, and I followed them to ask for a lot of normal game.If I can really enter the temple tonight, I can't hold back because of hunger.

After eating, Lou Shiqi's eyes lit up.He saw that there was a small seam in my uniform on the shoulder, so he came over and said he would mend it for me.

I moved my shoulders and dodged.

Lou Shiqi was taken aback.

"You still want to sew on my body? Will you pay me for piercing my flesh?"

Lou Shiqi smiled, took the team uniform jacket I took off, sewed it in twos and threes, and quickly mended it.After putting it on, I touched the fine stitches and laughed at him for carrying a needle and thread with him, wondering if he was still secretly embroidering.Lou Shiqi put away the professional needlework with disapproval, and snorted: "Don't beg me if you have the ability."

It was just getting dark, and there was still some time before the moon rose.The preparations seemed to be done, and more and more people returned to the camp, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

Because there are few people here at 279, they all stick to their posts, and the only ones doing nothing are Lou Shiqi and me.

I closed my eyes and rested my mind, wondering what it meant to laugh often.Suddenly someone asked: "Why are you the only ones back? What about Charles?"

I open my eyes.One of Stephanie's dogs.Is it her who co-authored and wanted us to die?But isn't Charles under Morgan?

I closed my eyes again.

"Let go, you!" Lou Shiqi yelled.

That dog leg actually wanted to do something to me, but Lou Shiqi stopped him and was dragged up from the ground by him.I slapped his hand away hard, keeping Lou Shiqi behind.

"Since you have the courage to come here, I'll tell you. Charles and the others sneaked up on me, and they are probably playing chess with Seth in the desert. If you want to join, you might as well try."

I sneered, staring into his eyes.The man looked at me for a while, then spat hard on the ground, turned and left.After I waited for the dog leg to reach the United Nations, Shi Qi slowly sat down on the ground while supporting the building, and the cold sweat on his hands wiped his sleeves.

"Damn it, what kind of bad luck did you say? I must find a place to say goodbye when I get back." I was still in shock, and punched Lou Shiqi twice. "You are such a big man, you are useless at all. Fortunately, Jiang Can arrived in time and cleaned up Charles. Otherwise, if you run into him, he will kill you."

Lou Shiqi lowered his eyes, looked at my fist and didn't reply.

I did have a temptation just now.Chang Xiao referred to the bird as an owl, could it be that he was talking to me about Lou Shiqi?

I have always had some doubts about Lou Shiqi.Even if Jiang Can said that he was originally a non-staff member of 279, it could not explain the unexpected things he sometimes showed.For example, Lou Shiqi told us in the story night of the archaeological team that there were wild animals eating iron products in the village, and then we discovered the unnamed god who was very important in the buried ancient Egyptian history, and his sacrifice was Metal.Also, why does Lou Shiqi even have a higher right to use Beidou than 279 who is performing special missions?On top of that, yesterday we were trapped by Apep on the broken godwood when someone sneaked up on us.Lou Shiqi undoubtedly discovered him, so he put his coat on my head.But how did the sneak attacker get stabbed in the stomach by his own knife in such a short period of time?
I drew my hand back.

Lou Shiqi still didn't say a word.

"I don't mean anything else. In fact, I'm also very cowardly."

I worry that I'm saying too much.In fact, he might be even more afraid than I am. After all, I was a colleague, and I didn't ask what happened on the wreckage of the sacred tree yesterday.

"We are all decent people, we don't engage in murder and arson." I pushed him lightly. "Hey, I still have a piece of toffee in my place, why don't I share half of it with you?"

Lou Shiqi smiled.

I relax.Really, what's the deal with him.

"Wang Yu, I didn't expect you to be so unwilling to doubt me." He slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, and a strange smile slowly appeared on that familiar face.

Lou Shiqi raised his head, revealing a pair of peaceful eyes.He just looked at me normally, but a sense of oppression came over his face.

I've seen this look once.

On the sacred tree broken by Apep yesterday, when I lifted the jacket that covered my head when I was building, he looked at the mercenary who was stabbed by himself like this.At the time I thought I was wrong.

Suddenly, I couldn't think about anything, only the sound of gurgling blood hitting my nerves.

Lou Shiqi's knife seemed to have just stabbed me yesterday.
