Chapter 3036 Joint Attack
In a blink of an eye, it was already evening.
As the sun sets, the fiery red sunset glow on the horizon dyes the entire sky of Gondar red, which is extraordinarily gorgeous and charming.
In Noah's Ark Church, the exploration continues.
The two Beta Israeli exploration team members who explored in the cave have completed the clearing of the first area.
The so-called first area is the area where the golden statue of King Saul is located. This area is the closest to the ground of the church, only six or seven meters deep.
After seven or eight hours of cleaning, except for a few small caves and crevices of unknown depth, almost all other places have been carefully explored and cleaned by them.
The surrounding cave walls, the statues from different eras, the boxes placed in different positions, and even the protruding stalagmites and inverted stalactites, etc.
Dust and moss that had accumulated on and in places where these items were accessible were thoroughly wiped down.
After some wiping, the area was immediately much cleaner, it was no longer a piece of miserable green, nor was it so slippery.
The characters and patterns carved on the surrounding cave walls, on many stalagmites, and on those statues are all clearly visible.
The words written or engraved on those wooden boxes, although mottled, are still partially legible.
By studying these characters and patterns, Ye Tian and the others made many new discoveries.
Among them, the localized ancient Hebrew texts are temporarily unrecognizable and can only be studied slowly in the future.
In addition, in those boxes of different sizes, there are a lot of gold and silver treasures.
As soon as the detection coil of the pulse metal detector touches those boxes, it will immediately emit bursts of pleasant beeps!
After cleaning up, Daniel and the others were sweating profusely and exhausted.
Fortunately, they did not encounter any danger, and there were no traps in this cave.
During this period, they returned to the ground several times and rested in the church to recover their strength.
After a short rest, they will enter the cave again and continue to clean up this shocking treasure.
At this time, they returned to the ground again and were sitting aside to rest.
Ye Tian and the others stood in the middle of the church,
Discuss the next course of action.
"Gentlemen, it's evening now, and it's getting dark. Are we going to explore overnight to clean up this cave and the treasure of Solomon hidden inside? Or stop temporarily and continue tomorrow?"
With that said, Ye Tian pointed to the outside.
Following the direction of his finger, everyone turned their heads and looked outside the church door.
It was getting dark outside, and the sky was glowing red with the sunset glow!
Everyone enjoyed the scenery outside before turning around.
"Steven, I suggest that we act overnight to clear out this cave deep underground as soon as possible, and transport all of Solomon's treasures hidden inside to the surface, so as not to have long nights and dreams!
This part of Solomon's treasure is too important. Put them in this underground cave, and we will go back to the hotel to rest by ourselves. I will never do this, otherwise, I will not be able to sleep at night! "
Joshua said in a deep voice, still very excited.
The rest of the people did the same, all nodded.
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then smiled and said:
"We understand everyone's feelings, but have you ever thought about it? Where are there so many Beta Israeli explorers? Daniel and the others are exhausted and need a rest urgently.
In their state, if they enter this underground cave again and carry out exploration operations, problems will easily occur. We cannot accept such a result!
If no one can replace them, we can only let them rest, and let them enter the cave to continue cleaning when their physical and mental strength are almost recovered! "
Everyone couldn't help being stunned, and turned their heads to look at Daniel and the others sitting aside.
Those two guys immediately stood up, wanting to say that they could still hold on, but Ye Tian stretched out his hand to stop them.
After a short pause, Joshua said:
"Daniel and the others are very tired, but we still have a lot of Beta Israelis, those guys from the 13th commando team. They are qualified to enter this cave and clean up this part of Solomon's treasure hidden in the cave!"
Ye Tian shook his head and rejected the proposal.
"Those guys in the 13th commando team are Beta Israelis, but they are soldiers, not joint expedition members, and they don't have any exploration and archaeological experience.
It’s okay to let those guys wield knives and sticks, but let them go to this cave to clean up those priceless antiques and artworks. I’m afraid it won’t work.
What's more, they have a more important task, which is to protect this Noah's Ark church and this part of Solomon's treasure. This is their job! "
Hearing this, Joshua couldn't help but fell silent.
The rest of the people also nodded without any objection.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:
"As far as the current situation is concerned, we can only choose to suspend the exploration and cleaning operations, let Daniel and the others rest, and wait for their physical and mental strength to recover before entering the cave to clean up.
For the sake of confidentiality, it is best to spend tonight in the Noah's Ark Church. You can even take a bath here, and I will have all kinds of supplies and sleeping bags brought in! "
"Well, Steven, it seems that this is the only way to go!"
Joshua nodded in response.
"Then let's make this decision. Everyone rest in place, and wait until the recovery is almost complete before launching further exploration operations."
Ye Tian continued.
Everyone nodded and accepted the arrangement.
Mustafa originally wanted to say something, but after looking at the situation here, he also chose to remain silent.
He knew that if he left this church, he would immediately become the focus of attention.
Once the news that the tripartite joint exploration team discovered part of Solomon's treasure was leaked, all doubts would be pointed at him, and there was no excuse at all!
Everyone outside the church, all forces, will come to him, trying to get news from him.
If one is not careful, or cannot withstand the pressure, he may leak the secret, and then become the target of revenge by the Israelis!
Following Ye Tian's announcement to rest on the spot, everyone immediately relaxed.
Because the air in the cave deep underground has been completely replaced, and it has been open for nearly a day, so there is no longer any threat.
In view of this, everyone took off their protective equipment one after another.
The moment everyone took off the protective equipment, everyone felt relaxed, as if they were much lighter in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the feeling of exhaustion came suddenly.
Everyone who has been in a state of high excitement, until now, they feel that they are already exhausted physically and mentally, and they are almost unable to hold on!
The next moment, there was a constant yelling and yelling at the scene.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian couldn't help chuckling.
He also took off the protective equipment on his body, and then said to Joshua and Mustafa:
"Gentlemen, let's go to the church door to see the scenery, enjoy the evening breeze, and relax, as long as you don't go down the steps of the church door."
Everyone couldn't wait for this proposal.
Staying in this small Noah's Ark church for a long time, coupled with the large number of people, everyone is somewhat bored, and it is naturally very good to go out and relax.
"Okay, Steven, let's go and see the scenery outside!"
Mustafa nodded in response, and the others nodded too.
Afterwards, everyone walked out of the church and came to the corridor at the entrance of the church.
Seeing them coming out, the eager joint exploration team outside, as well as many archaeologists, historians, paleographers, and representatives of various parties immediately became agitated.
"My God! You finally came out, Steven, it's been almost a day, can you tell everyone, what secrets and treasures are hidden deep underground in Noah's Ark Church?"
"Joshua, everyone is speculating that you found the legendary Solomon's treasure in the Noah's Ark Church. Is this true? What's in this treasure?"
Hearing these questions, everyone who had just walked out of Noah's Ark Church laughed.
But Joshua and the others were silent and did not give any response, but turned to look at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said:
"Time flies so fast, it's just a day, I'm very sorry for keeping everyone on the air for so long, it seems that everyone can't wait, I will briefly introduce the situation below.
Deep underground in this Noah's Ark church, we did find an unknown treasure, the value of this treasure is quite amazing, enough to make people crazy.
As for what is in the treasure, it needs to be kept secret for the time being, but everyone will know the answer soon, because we found it here, we call it Noah's Ark treasure! "
He answered a few questions lightly, never mentioning the treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant, a topic that touched everyone's nerves.
Even so, these words still made everyone on the scene very excited and exclaimed.
"Wow! Noah's Ark Treasure, the name is amazing!"
"Who would have thought that the Fasilidas Castles would be such a treasure, hiding so many shocking secrets. If the Ethiopians knew this was the result, it would be impossible for the tripartite joint exploration team to enter here!"
While there was a lot of discussion, some people also proposed that they hope to enter the Noah's Ark Church to see what's going on inside and what's going on in that underground cave.
Especially those archaeologists and historians, paleographers, and representatives of all parties are extremely eager to witness and participate in this miracle.
Ye Tian told them very clearly that the work of cleaning up and exploring this treasure has not been completed yet.
No one is allowed to enter the church of Noah's Ark, or the underground cavern where the treasure is hidden, until the exploration is complete.
Those who are in the Noah's Ark church at this moment are not allowed to leave the church, so as not to leak the news.
Hearing his words, everyone at the scene was stunned, a little unbelievable.
At the same time, everyone is sure that there must be a shocking secret hidden in the cave deep underground in Noah's Ark Church, or the discovery of this treasure must be earth-shattering!
Without exception, everyone immediately thought of the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant!
However, since Ye Tian, who discovered the treasure, never mentioned it, the rest of the people could only choose to remain silent, and everyone had a tacit understanding.
Seeing Ye Tian's resolute attitude, no one at the scene mentioned the matter of entering the Noah's Ark Church to visit!
Next, everyone laughed and chatted while enjoying the scenery.
It's just that Ye Tian and the others stood on the circular corridor at the entrance of the church, and the rest stood on the grass in front of the church and around the church, with a distance of several meters between them.
After a while, the sun finally set from the sky!
The gorgeous sunset glow gradually disappeared, and the twilight climbed up a little bit.
At the same time, all the lights around the Noah's Ark Church were lit up, making it look like daytime.
Ye Tian glanced at the surrounding situation, and was about to return to the inside of the church.
At this moment, Matisse walked over quickly with a serious expression.
Coming closer, he lowered his voice and said:
"Steven, something is wrong. We are in trouble, and the trouble is not small. A large number of militants are approaching the Fasilidas castle complex from all directions.
Among these guys, there are not only a large number of Somali pirates, but also PFLF militants, as well as guys from Sudan and Eritrea, and other people from all walks of life.
These guys are united and are going to attack the Fasilidas castle complex to snatch this treasure. The Ethiopian military and police outside may not be able to deal with these guys.”
Hearing this, Joshua and the others were immediately stunned.
Without exception, a look of horror and worry flashed across their faces.
Ye Tian sneered a few times, and said disdainfully:
"They want to loot this treasure from Lao Tzu, they are just dreaming, notify all the guys, prepare to fight, once everyone is attacked, they can launch a counterattack and defend themselves!
Also inform Seaman and the others that both sides must cooperate and cover well. I only have one request, and those guys outside must not be allowed to approach the Noah's Ark Church, not even one person!
Let the other guys hiding in the city of Gondar, and those guys staying in the hotel, get everyone ready to fight, there is no doubt that tonight will be very lively,"
"Okay, Steven, leave these matters to us, and no one can get close to Noah's Ark Church"
Matisse nodded in response, and immediately acted to make various arrangements.
At this time, the rest of the people also woke up.
The next moment, Joshua whispered:
"Steven, I need to talk to Seaman, I need to talk to the Israeli embassy, and I also need to call Jerusalem to update on the latest situation. Noah's Ark Church must not be missed!"
Before the words fell, Mustafa continued to say:
"Me too, Steven, I need to talk to Mr. President, I need to talk to the head of the military and police, I hope you can restore the communication signal in the church!"
Ye Tian looked at the two people, thought for a while, then nodded and said:
"No problem, I can restore the communication signal of Noah's Ark Church, but my subordinates will monitor every call made from here, I hope you can understand!"
"Okay, Steven, we will keep it strictly confidential!"
Joshua nodded and said, Mustafa and the others also nodded.
Afterwards, Ye Tian notified Matisse through the wireless invisible headset, and lifted the communication signal shielding of Noah's Ark Church.
As soon as the signal was restored, Joshua started talking to Seaman with an extremely solemn tone.
"Himan, you should be aware of the situation outside the castle complex. The situation is very serious. I ask you to take strict precautions and never allow anyone to attack the Noah's Ark Church.
Let's put it this way, if those militants stormed into the Noah's Ark Church and ransacked it, then each of us will become a sinner of the nation, and there will be no redemption for a hundred deaths!
I think I have already made it very clear, even if we pay the price of our lives, we must defend this place. If you die, I will stand on top until the last person dies in battle! "
Seaman on the other end of the walkie-talkie was silent, only the sound of heavy breathing remained.
As long as you are not an idiot, you can understand the meaning of these words, and you can also guess how important this treasure hidden in the depths of the Noah's Ark Church is to Israel!
After a moment of silence, Seaman said decisively:
"Understood, Joshua, anyone who wants to rush into Noah's Ark Church to loot, there is only one way, and that is to step over our corpses!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help turning his head to look at Joshua, a little surprised.
Mustafa and the others are the same, everyone's eyes and expressions are extremely dignified.
In the blink of an eye, a series of calls were made from here.
With these calls, a huge storm has been raised.
After completing the arrangement, Ye Tian walked into the church.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
"bang bang bang"
Suddenly there was a burst of fierce gunshots outside the castle complex, which clearly reached everyone's ears.
A bloody and cruel fight kicked off.
