Chapter 1001 Desert of Death

After chatting with Abraham, Yang Cheng felt that he was a good person. Although he was engaged in a job that was always despised, at least his nature was not bad, and no one who had affection for his family would be too bad.

At around 5 o'clock in the evening, Yang Cheng and his party arrived at Luxor, a city close to the Valley of the Kings. This is also an ancient city, and it is called an "open-air museum" because the ruins of ancient Thebes are located here.

Compared with Cairo, Yang Cheng found that Luxor is even more beautiful. The houses and buildings are no longer the old-fashioned yellow, but a little more colorful. It also straddles the banks of the Nile River, and the river is clearer. In terms of cleanliness, it is far better than the capital Cairo.

Luxor has a typical tropical desert climate, with daytime temperatures as high as 40 degrees. Even though it has entered late autumn in the northern hemisphere, Luxor, which is close to the equator, is basically unaffected. You can change your skin color by basking in the sun for a while at noon.

The sky was extremely blue, and a trace of white clouds hung gently in the sky. The residual heat was still there, and Yang Cheng, who had just entered the city, felt the heat wave blowing towards his face.

They didn't book a hotel before they came, but the most important thing right now is to find Abraham's friend who sells instruments. Since entering the city, Yang Cheng stopped chatting with Abraham and let him concentrate on giving directions.

He said that that friend should be doing business in the market on the east bank of the Nile River now. He said it was a business, but he was actually a small vendor selling fruits and juices. When Yang Cheng and the others found him, they were dealing with tourists with an irritable face. A glass of strawberry juice, worth about US$2, is directly placed on the bus for tourists to take by themselves, while she holds up a hat and asks tourists to pay for change. Yang Cheng looked disgusted at that impatient attitude, so it is also true that Africa is poor Reasonably, one's own slack must bear part of the responsibility.

Of course, Yang Cheng didn't care if he was poor or not, the most important thing was to ask about things. Stimulated by Yang Cheng's huge bonus, Abraham finally got the motivation and took the initiative to talk to him.

At the beginning, his friend was very rude and even waved his hand roughly to drive him away, but Abraham persisted and whispered a few words into the other party's ear, the guy changed his face in an instant, and rubbed his hands towards Yang Cheng. Running over, how mean and mean is the look.

"This rich and big boss, it's a pleasure to meet you. I heard from Abraham that you are a generous big man. I like to serve people like you the most. If you have any requests, just ask. You can call me Shreve it is good."

Yang Cheng took off his sunglasses, didn't bother to look him in the eye, and asked bluntly, "Abraham said that someone asked you to buy a metal detector a while ago? Military-grade? I hope you can tell the whole process in detail, don't worry. , the benefits are indispensable to you."

Shreve seemed a bit embarrassed, because it was against morality in their business to sell customer information, but this thing was worthless, the key was that he didn't see any benefit, so he had no motivation to say it.

Impatient, Yang Cheng waved to the back, and a bodyguard took out a stack of green dollar bills from his arms, estimated to be more than 1,000.

Shreve took it and counted it excitedly, smiled slyly, and said hypocritically, "Boss, for the sake of your sincerity, it is difficult to make an exception, only this time~"

The implication is that the 1,000 dollars is only enough to exchange for one piece of news. This guy is also eye-catching. At the critical point when Yang Cheng was about to explode, he finally said, "The person who bought the instrument with me is a British guy. I don't know where he came from. I don’t know mine, it’s not important, what’s important is that he’s very generous, the Fisher custom-made model I just got in my hand not long ago, he didn’t even pay back the price at $30,000, I regret that I even smoked it for many days,

Anyway, after getting the instrument from me, he left and never showed up again. "

It seemed that Yang Cheng was dissatisfied with the answer, and quickly added, "This is all I know, boss, I have a very professional ethics."

If only Yang Cheng was here, he might be deceived, but Shreve forgot that Yang Cheng and his group were brought by Abraham. If others don't understand Abraham, they can't understand the twists and turns. ?

"Please, Shreve, I didn't bring clients to you to make you smash my brand. You'd better tell me everything you know. Believe me, you will get rich rewards. Otherwise, you can see the people from country Z Are you the bodyguard? Those are the masters who kill without blinking an eye, you don’t want to sleep at night and never wake up again?”

This threatening beating was said by Abraham who pulled Shreve not far away.

Shreve frowned and seemed hesitant, and Abra continued to work harder, "I don't believe you didn't send someone to follow that British guy, so you'd better tell me what you know."

Sure enough, Shreve pressed his fist, "Okay, my brother, I will trust you just once."

The two returned to Yang Cheng again, and Shreve changed his traits of being a chicken thief, and said frankly to Yang Cheng, "Boss, I really didn't lie to you as I said before, but we pedestrians are very good at Capture the news, that British guy is generous, and he wants this customized version of the instrument, it must be related to the tomb robbery, I want to get the first-hand information, and then sell it to the military guy, get some second-hand weapons that have been refitted and make a lot of money .

So I immediately sent someone to follow up, and within a day, the person I sent came back dejectedly and reported that the British guy and his party did not stop near the Valley of the Kings at all, but jumped over the Thebes Mountains to enter We left the desert of death, which is a forbidden place that our locals know. The brothers who were sent to follow up did not dare to continue to follow, so they came back early.

That's all I know, I don't care what conflicts you have with Brits, just leave me alone, I'm just a money grabber. "

Yang Cheng frowned and ignored him, but Hansen took a step forward, and under Shreve's nervous gaze, he took out another sum of money, about 3000 to 4000 US dollars, and grinned, "You're so happy earlier You can get more, now you can go, but you have to be prepared, we will find you at any time."

Shreve is unreliable, so he can't let him know too much, and Abraham is also a local snake, and he should be able to answer further questions, such as what the hell is the desert of death.

After Shreve was driven away, this guy felt unwilling and turned his head every step of the way. It was not until Hansen gave him a displeased look that he returned to the back of his juice booth with sympathy.

It's not appropriate to talk too much on the street, there is a small hotel near the market, Yang Cheng and the others didn't dislike it, and directly asked Abraham to build a two-story building, and kicked out all the shops. In Hansen, they did a good job of monitoring After the inspection, Yang Cheng entered a room randomly. Yang Cheng sat in the bedroom and asked Abraham who was standing at the door, "Tell me about this desert of death?"

Abraham fell into the color of memories, "Death of Death, that is a forbidden land. In Luxor, the east bank of the Nile is called the 'City of Life', while the west bank is called the 'City of the Dead'. The origin, in addition to the pharaohs of ancient Egypt were buried in the Valley of the Kings, but also because of the existence of the desert of death.

It is really a restricted area of ​​life, not only human beings, but even the most common poisonous snakes and scorpions in the desert can hardly survive in the core area of ​​the desert of death. line of defense. "

Yang Cheng frowned and listened patiently to Abraham's words, "No one knows when the Desert of Death was formed, let alone how it was formed, it's like the entrance to hell, taking lives away one by one , there are no bones left, and many people died. People are gradually full of fear there, and even fabricated rumors about the place where demons live, to warn future generations not to enter the desert of death no matter what, even if curiosity stops for a moment on the edge. .”

These words are a bit evil, Yang Cheng couldn't help asking, "Could it be that no one came out alive? What is it like inside? How did it swallow life?"

Abraham shook his head repeatedly with a look of fear, "No, as far as I know, since the reputation of the Desert of Death spread, explorers who are not afraid of death come every year to try to conquer and explore the secrets of the Desert of Death, but in the end no one Except, they all lost their news after entering the Death Desert, and never came out again.”

Yang Cheng exchanged glances with Hansen, who was serious, and had a bad premonition in his heart. Maybe Eiffel and his party entered the desert of death, and there was no news from them.

After calming down, he continued to ask, "Now that the technology is so advanced and the area of ​​the Death Desert is not large, is there still no reliable explanation?"

Abraham smiled bitterly, "There are so-called scientific theories, but no one in the local area believes them. They are more willing to believe in ghosts and gods. After all, the legends left by the ancient Egyptian pharaohs are too magical. If I hadn't seen more outside If it is not good, it will be brainwashed by the theory of ghosts and gods.

As for whether the inferences of those scientists are correct, I have no way of judging.

Just a few years ago, a scientific research team received funding from a rich man in the United States and used military satellites to detect the situation of the Death Desert from the sky. The images obtained were similar to those of the Sahara Desert. There is still a little green to be found, but there is really nothing in the desert of death, the bare dunes are densely covered, and they found nothing else.

Then the scientific research team can only speculate based on imagination. One speculation is that there is a huge underground space under the death desert, which leads to the formation of a natural loophole in the death desert. The quicksand with great attraction swallows all creatures that try to set foot on the ground. ;"

This statement made Yang Cheng's eyelids twitch non-stop. He knew that this statement existed, because Thutmose III's huge treasure was likely to be under the Death Desert.

Abraham didn't notice Yang Cheng's changed face, and continued, "There is another theory that there is a group of army ants living in the desert of death. The power of this kind of creatures is too terrifying, and no grass will grow where the ants walk!"
