Chapter 93 Mysterious Eastern Power

As the sky darkened, all the active forces gathered back to the camp, and the air was exhausted and tense.

Boothville, Kawaisan and others were not at the UN stronghold in the east, but gathered on the edge of the sand dunes west of 279.Although the camp was sloppy, it occupied the only high ground around, and the entire desert could be seen in the daytime.It was dark now, and the moon hadn't risen yet, so they couldn't see clearly even a few steps away, and they didn't know why they were there.

The members of 279 have finished their meal and are busy distributing supplies.Meng Weiqing and Lou Shiqi stood beside each other with clasped hands and said something, the latter waved to me as usual, and also indicated that there was food left for me.I pretended not to see it.

"Comrade Wang is back, let's get some more food." He Rongchuan stuffed dry food into my hand.I look at him.He Rongchuan trembled: "Why do you look at me like this?"

"See if you're wearing a vest, too."

He Rongchuan looked at his fat body: "I have a magic weapon to protect my body, so what's the use of a vest."

That's right, I was a little neurotic by Lou Shiqi.I changed the subject: "What are you doing over there?"

"Aren't you here? They said they were going to restore an ancient Egyptian ritual later, and they are preparing for it now. In fact, I did one yesterday, but it is said that something was missing, so I didn't find the god." temple."

Restoring ancient Egyptian rituals?I looked west again under the faint starlight.This time I changed the angle, and I saw Hassan and others were there.

In the dark night, Laila was dressed as a priestess, with a few long feathers adorning her head, and golden bells on her wrists and ankles, which made crisp and distant sounds with her movements.She held a round jar in each of her two hands, and the contents of the jar on the right were heavier than those in her left hand, and her right hand was obviously struggling to lift it.Ali was standing beside her, but he didn't help her. It seemed that no matter what he pretended to be, it was very important to the ceremony and could not be left in the hands of others.Hassan held a musical instrument that looked like a Shaw in his hand, and his dagger was pinned to his waist.Socrates' drum has also been set up, and the headgear of Anubis is put on his head.The two also put on cool white cloth strips for the priests, and were applying some spices to the naked parts of their bodies.

I couldn't help but wonder what the storm had cost the operation.No matter how mixed up to the point of relying on the members to hunt game, these unneeded extras are still in good condition.

Another man who kept the fragrance free slipped between Alex and James.

"What's the matter?" The always drunk man slung the gun over his shoulder, and Alex turned his attention away from the Egyptian.Yano said nothing, but blinked happily at them.

I look away.

"You still have time to watch the fun." Jiang Can walked over with a bag full of it, and put it on the ground, the sand was pressed into a big hole. "Clean up quickly, the moon will come out soon."

Now the 279 people have finally arrived, and I don't know what they are doing in the desert this day.

"The group of foreigners insisted that they found the right place, clamoring to find out the situation under the desert to the west. Those are all false tricks. They have their tricks, and we have our tricks." Jiang Canna He took out a gun and assembled it in twos and threes, threw it to Ding Ze, and then asked me: "What were you talking about with that kid just now?"

"Aurora, Yano said that they can see the aurora every day when they are in Antarctica." I showed a longing look. "I haven't seen it yet."

aurora.Jiang Can muttered something, and then said that he had seen it too.That was when he and his teammates went to the North Pole to perform missions. Their team was responsible for protecting the safety of scientists, and Teacher Bai was one of them.

The year before last, wasn't that the time when the polar virus was spreading, why did they go to the North Pole?

Jiang Can said that Mr. Bai was more proud than himself: "Mr. Bai is amazing. At that time, due to global warming, the ancient viruses that were originally in the Arctic tended to emerge, and several teams of scientists from different countries went there. Conduct an assessment. Because you know, there are many research institutes in the Arctic. If there is a real risk, you have to withdraw. But if you withdraw, you will suffer losses, so you must first find an expert to have a look. Mr. Bai is one of them one."

Meng Weiqing glanced at Jiang Can.Jiang Can pouted, but stopped talking.

"This matter involves confidentiality. I can't tell you the details. You just need to know that Mr. Bai is very powerful. You will find the pharaoh's temple later, remember to follow us."

What I heard from this passage is that Jiang Can was originally sent to protect Teacher Bai, but he was rescued by Teacher Bai instead.It's no wonder that he doesn't give Meng Weiqing face, but he has a lot of respect in front of Teacher Bai, and the admiration in his words is beyond words.

In this way, whatever happened in the Arctic at that time may be related to our current actions.Those who went to the North Pole at that time, besides Teacher Bai and others, also had Alex's mentor.And the relationship between these hooks and loops eventually went around the South Pole and here, but I can't figure out what the connection is.

The crowd began to be fully armed.People who are quite gentle on their own suddenly become more chilling, it is really a man with clothes and a horse with a saddle.

Although I am just an innocent archaeologist, 279 has prepared my supplies without discrimination.When Xia Shangzhou handed over the weapons and equipment, I almost cried without tears.One is because he is a waste, and the other is because he thinks that if the next situation needs to be armed with a waste, then it will not be too easy.

Seeing my resistance, Xia Shangzhou nodded thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, Xiao Yu'er is more used to using cold weapons, right? I remember watching you dance with a stick on an archaeological site."

I waved my hands quickly, for fear that she would really pull out a golden cudgel.Just kidding, my little three-legged kung fu is not good at weapons, and I can please anyone I meet.I glanced at the pile of things in Xia Shangzhou's hands, good guy, he even has a gun, he really thinks highly of me.

"Xiao Yu'er is scared? Don't worry, this is just to be prepared, and there should be no need." She also comforted me briskly. "You're quick to learn, come, I'll teach you."

"It doesn't matter, you can leave these things to me." I was about to bite the bullet and accept the training when Li Yuan popped up from one side, reached out to take the things in Xia Shangzhou's hand, and was still holding himself in the other hand. that share.

Xia Shangzhou showed a clear smile: "With Yuechen protecting you, I really don't need to worry about it."

Li Yuan also nodded with a smile.

Xia Shangzhou turned his head and went to do other things, Li Yuan asked me: "What were you talking about with Chris just now?"

"Didn't I just talk about the aurora. Unlike you, I have never been to Antarctica. I have to save money to see it when I go back." I specially emphasized the word "go back".

"You didn't talk about Aurora." Li Yuan looked down at me with serious eyes. "What the hell did he tell you?"

I lifted my eyelids and glanced at him.I avoided him on purpose today, just because I didn't want to quarrel with him on his last day.Unexpectedly, I didn't question his behavior of actively asking for death, but he asked me instead.

"Does what I'm talking about with Yanuo have anything to do with you? Just take care of yourself, don't let me keep you from drinking Mengpo soup." I have endured and endured.Li Yuan can not care about his life, but I can't care about my friend.A well-behaved person loses one glance at a glance, and whoever can bear it.

"I didn't say what you mean. If I didn't come back with you yesterday, I would have no place to regret it." Li Yuan's tone and eyes softened, and I stepped down the donkey and nodded slightly.But I didn't expect him to still hold on to this matter. "But no matter what Chris tells you, don't believe him, let alone promise him anything. To get that kind of ore and escape, and even come here, he is far more powerful than what we saw Danger."

Yanuo is indeed not as simple and harmless as it seems, but then again, which of these people is easy to get along with?Even Lou Shiqi can lie to me, Yanuo is complicated, but can he be so wicked?

"Thank you for the reminder, but we really didn't say anything. Look at my virtue, it's not worth calculating that I'm not. And I'm such an adult, I don't believe what people say."

There was an indescribable expression on Li Yuan's face, which made people want to give him some color.

"It's impossible for him to talk about Aurora with you."

"What do you mean?"

Li Yuan looked away.It turned out that when they were in Antarctica, they happened to approach the ore when the aurora was at its peak.The ghostly light illuminated the panic on people's faces and their stiff bodies.That was never a good memory.No wonder Arno didn't mention it to me.

"How did you get them out?" I asked.

Li Yuan shook his head. "I didn't bring them out. I took the ore." He said it lightly.Combining his language style and the tragic situation described by Alex, I won't ask any more.

"You don't have to tell me what you said to Chris, but don't promise him anything and don't believe what he says. Everyone has a reason to be here, and you don't know what they will do to get it. what."

"What about you?" I asked Li Yuan, "How will you achieve your goal by any means?"

"I am the means, I am the purpose." Li Yuan smiled.He looked at me seriously: "You know, I won't hurt you."

I laughed too.

Perhaps my purpose of coming here has long since had nothing to do with this matter itself, but this is my own choice.I help Jarno not only because I want to help him, but also because I want him to help me.If possible, I also want my friend to go home.And this will never be based on the fact that he voluntarily gave up seeking death for my safety.

I thought in my heart, since Alex was also transformed, but she can not bear the pain of transformation.Even if her mother didn't solve the problem once and for all, the solution should be here.In this desert that swallowed visitors from afar 60 and 12 years ago.

The wind brought a whimper from 4000 years ago, the drum was struck heavily and slowly, and Lyra began her sacrifice.Drums, flutes and bells combined into an unpleasant rhythm, as if an invisible hand stretched out from the past and grabbed us.With the blowing and beating of the Egyptians, the originally bright stars gradually dimmed until the sky and the earth became dark.

Now only the sounds from the instruments are left to prove that time has not frozen.Everyone was shocked by this mysterious ancient ceremony, and fell silent for a while.

I took a slow breath, and before I could shake off the pressure, Li Yuan fell down without warning.

A full moon weighed heavily on his shoulders.
