Chapter 3051 Shipwreck at the Bottom of the Lake

That night, the Nile crocodiles that originally inhabited these small islands launched several sneak attacks in an attempt to regain their homes.

It's a pity that, as the top predators in nature, they can only be slaughtered in the face of bullets.

Wave after wave of Nile crocodiles rushed out of the lake bravely and climbed onto the shores of several small islands.

What greeted them was countless deadly bullets and bloody killings.

Most of the Nile crocodiles that washed ashore died at gunpoint.

Only a handful of crocodiles managed to escape the catastrophe and dived into the lake again.

When the sky brightened, the shores of the three small islands were already piled up with dead Nile crocodiles.

The lake on the shore was also full of dead Nile crocodiles.

And on the small island where the brave and fearless exploration company was located, all the Nile crocodiles that climbed ashore from other parts of the small island were also killed, and died in the woods, bushes, and other places.

It was Ye Tian who killed them in the dark.

In comparison, the Nile crocodile that rushed to the other two small islands from a relatively hidden corner under the cover of night was much luckier.

Quite a few of them escaped the bloody killing last night and hid on those two small islands.

One night passed, and another day.

The lake water, which was originally dyed red, has regained its clarity.

But in the air of the three small islands, there is still a lingering strong smell of blood.

Fortunately, everyone has gotten used to it and didn't feel any discomfort.

As a large number of Nile crocodiles were killed, and the sky had brightened and the lighting conditions improved a lot, everyone gradually relaxed.

The many exploration team members of the brave and fearless exploration company returned to their respective tents, took the time to rest, recharge their batteries, and prepare for the upcoming exploration operations during the day.

Numerous armed security personnel guarded around the island, cleaned the battlefield, and pushed the dead Nile crocodiles into Lake Tana.

These dead Nile crocodiles were once the top predators in Lake Tana.

all living things in the lake,

Almost all of them are their prey targets, and they are food for whatever they ask for.

Now they are killed by humans and pushed into the lake.

Then, they become a delicacy for other creatures in the lake!

Perhaps this is karma, their best destination.

As soon as the sky turned bright, Ye Tian returned to the campsite.

After many of his exploration team entered the tent to rest, he began to ask about the battle situation last night.

"Matisse, in the firefight with the Nile crocodile last night, were any of the guys injured? How is the ammunition consumed? Do you need to replenish it?

If a guy is injured and we can't deal with it, then call a seaplane and send the injured guy to Bahir Dar for treatment."

After the voice fell, Matisse immediately responded:

"It is true that some guys were injured. They were all accidentally scratched, not bitten by a Nile crocodile, and they were all skin trauma. It's nothing serious, we can deal with it, and it doesn't affect the action.

The ammunition in everyone's hands is indeed consumed, but there is no need to replenish it for the time being, and it should be able to last until the end of this joint exploration operation, unless we are attacked by a large number of Nile crocodiles again."

Hearing this, Ye Tian pondered for a moment, and then said:

"It's a good thing that none of the guys were bitten by the Nile crocodile. As for the ammunition issue, I suggest that everyone add it immediately and restore the ammunition level to yesterday's state, just in case.

Next, we will stay in the center of Lake Tana for a few days, no one knows what will happen in the next few days, everyone must be careful! "

"Understood, Steven, I will immediately notify the ship loaded with weapons and ammunition to come over and replenish ammunition for everyone"

Mattis responded and immediately acted.

Afterwards, Ye Tian walked towards the shore and checked the surrounding situation.

Through perspective, he found many Nile crocodiles hidden in the lake.

These ferocious guys are lurking in the lake, keeping a close eye on the movement on the island, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Obviously, these Nile crocodiles are not willing to give up this small island, give up this paradise in their hearts, and try to take this small island back from human hands.

Although he found these Nile crocodiles hidden in the lake water, but Chen Yu did not try to destroy them.

After scanning the situation on the shore, he returned to the campsite.

There is more fog on the lake this morning than last night.

Standing on the shore of the island and looking around, you can only see thirty to fifty meters at most.

A little further away was shrouded in a thick fog.

The small island where the Ethiopian exploration team was located and the small island where the fleet was located could not be seen at all, and they were all covered by thick fog.

Ye Tian looked in the direction of the two small islands, then picked up the walkie-talkie and began to ask about the situation on both sides.

"Good morning, Mustafa, how is the situation on your side? Is anyone injured? If anyone is injured, I will send the medical staff there immediately to treat it.

What about other losses? Do you need additional supplies? The materials and equipment we have prepared are very sufficient and can be replenished at any time to ensure the smooth progress of the exploration operation! "

The next moment, Mustafa's voice came from the intercom.

"Good morning, Steven, the situation on our side is okay, although some people were injured and suffered some losses, but the problem is not serious, and it will not affect the continuation of the exploration operation!

The Nile crocodiles that climbed ashore from the front and side of the camp were all killed by my men, and some Nile crocodiles were hidden in other places on the island, but they were not a big threat.”

Hearing the notification, Ye Tian immediately responded:

"Since someone is injured, it must be dealt with seriously. If it is bitten by a Nile crocodile, it must be taken seriously. You must know that the Nile crocodile also eats carrion, and there are a lot of viruses in its mouth.

Later, I will let the medical staff go over to treat the injured guys to avoid accidents, and I will also replenish ammunition for you, so as not to encounter a situation like last night again."

Next, he learned about some other situations and discussed the joint exploration operation that will be launched today, before ending the call.

Then, he started to contact the fleet again.

Understand the situation there and make corresponding arrangements.

Soon, the fleet sent several speedboats, carrying various supplies and equipment and medical teams, to the two small islands where the joint exploration team was located.

Using the supplies they brought, Matisse and the others sprinkled a large amount of disinfectant on the shore and in the lake to carry out disinfection operations.

As the disinfecting operations started, those Nile crocodiles lurking in the nearby lake had to swim farther away from the shore of the lake.

In addition to disinfecting, Matisse and the others also added weapons and ammunition to prepare for the next encounter.

The same thing is happening simultaneously on the small island where the Ethiopians are located.

...

In a blink of an eye, it was about half past nine in the morning.

Many employees of the Brave and the Fearless Exploration Company have packed up and are ready to start today's exploration operation.

At the same time, two cruise ships also sailed to the shore of this small island.

Afterwards, Ye Tian took all the exploration team members and some security personnel, as well as a large amount of exploration equipment, weapons and ammunition, boarded the two medium-sized cruise ships, and sailed away from the small island to the depths of Lake Tana shrouded in mist. go.

Just after leaving the island, Mustafa's voice came over the intercom, sounding very unhappy.

"Steven, why don't we let our security personnel board the ship, but let them stay on the island. Is this what you planned a long time ago? Want to get rid of our security personnel?"

Hearing the question, Ye Tian smiled softly, then picked up the walkie-talkie and responded:

"Don't be angry, Mustafa, when you see us, you will understand that most of our two cruise ships are also members of the joint exploration team, and there are not many armed security personnel.

We are going to explore the treasure today. Except for the attack of the Nile crocodile, we basically don’t have to worry about other attacks, so we don’t need to bring too many armed security personnel.

Letting those security personnel and military police stay on the island can just clean up the environment on the island. After all, these small islands are our footholds and need to be cleaned up.

Another point is that among the Ethiopian military and police, there are too many eyeliners inserted by various forces, and it is beneficial to both of us to keep them on the island."

The voice fell, and the other side of the intercom fell silent.

After a while, Mustafa responded:

"Let's do this first, Steven. We will meet later. I will see the composition of your exploration team. If it is really like what you said, there are only a few security personnel, then we will accept this arrangement."

"Okay, Mustafa, see you later"

Ye Tian responded, and then ended the call.

The two medium-sized cruise ships drove about three or four hundred meters and stopped in the lake.

A moment later, the two medium-sized cruise ships of the Ethiopian exploration team also came to this water area and joined Ye Tian and the others.

Immediately afterwards, Mustafa and another high-ranking Ethiopian official took a speedboat to the medium-sized cruise ship Ye Tian was on to check the situation on board.

Everything is as Ye Tian said, the two cruise ships are mainly members of the joint exploration team, and there are only a small number of fully armed security personnel.

Seeing this result, Mustafa and the others suddenly had nothing to say.

Next, the other high-ranking Ethiopian official left here, returned to their cruise ship, and reported the situation here to the Ethiopian exploration team.

But Mustafa stayed behind, preparing to follow Ye Tian to the place where the treasure left over from World War II was hidden.

Soon, the exploration fleet set sail again, heading deeper into Lake Tana.

Accompanied by this fleet, there are also some Nile crocodiles.

Those guys seemed to be here for revenge. They followed the fleet closely, appearing and disappearing in the lake water, which somewhat brought some pressure to everyone.

However, we did not eliminate these guys, nor did we drive them away, but let them follow.

The fleet drove forward for about two to three hundred meters, and a medium-sized engineering ship suddenly sailed out of the slant and joined the fleet.

Seeing this engineering ship, Mustafa couldn't help asking in surprise:

"What's going on here? Steven, why is there another engineering ship? What tricks are you playing?"

Ye Tian looked at this old friend, smiled and said:

"We came to Lake Tana to explore the treasures left over from World War II, Mustafa, not to enjoy the scenery in the lake. We took four ordinary cruise ships.

If we find treasures in Lake Tana, we can't rely on these four ordinary cruise ships to salvage or clean up the treasures, they don't have such a function.

Because of this, I have prepared an engineering ship, if we find the treasure, we can use this engineering ship to salvage it, so we won’t be helpless.”

Mustafa's old face turned red, somewhat embarrassed.

He quickly looked at the cruise ship he was on and the engineering ship that had just arrived, and then nodded.

"Well, what you said makes sense, these cruise ships really can't salvage the treasure, there is no salvage equipment on it, even if the treasure is found, there is nothing they can do.

At this time, can you tell where this treasure left over from World War II is hidden? There's no need to whet your appetite anymore, right? "

Ye Tian shook his head slightly, smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Mustafa. It won't be long before we reach the place where the Italians hide their treasures. By then, you will naturally know the answer to this question."

Hearing this, Mustafa rolled his eyes angrily, feeling very helpless.

No way, who made the treasure map not in his hands.

The fleet traveled another distance, Ye Tian took out a portable navigation device and checked the coordinates.

Immediately afterwards, he used the walkie-talkie to notify the fleet to change course and sail in another direction.

Following his order, the fleet that was heading due south suddenly changed direction and sailed southwest, before disappearing in a mist.

Then, the same thing kept happening.

After adjusting the direction several times in a row, almost everyone in the joint exploration fleet lost their way.

Even those fisherman guides who have lived on Lake Tana for half their lives no longer know where they are.

Ye Tian was the only one who firmly grasped the course and location of the exploration fleet.

Over time, the fog on the lake has dissipated a lot.

The range that everyone can see with their eyes is also gradually expanding, and has extended to five or six hundred meters away.

It's a pity that there is only endless lake water in everyone's field of vision, gently rippling in the breeze.

The Nile crocodiles that had followed the fleet had long since disappeared, and it was unknown where they had gone.

Seeing this situation, some guys in the Ethiopian exploration team were very disappointed, but also very helpless.

They spent all night, and some methods they thought of to locate the location of the joint exploration team had completely failed at this time.

In this part of the water they did not see a single other ship, and they could not convey a message.

The joint exploration fleet circled around Lake Tana for two or three hours before gradually reducing its speed and finally stopped.

The moment the fleet stopped, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, the countless gold and silver treasures looted by the Italian army from various countries and tribes in East Africa during World War II are deep in the bottom of the lake under our feet.

Because the Italian army was extremely embarrassed and hasty when they retreated, in order to come back to salvage this shocking treasure later, they directly scuttled the treasure ship.

In other words, as long as we find this treasure ship that sank at the bottom of the lake, we will also find this shocking treasure hidden by the Italian army! "

Before the words were finished, Mustafa and David immediately looked at the boat plank under their feet, and then at the lake outside. Everyone's eyes were extremely hot and excited.

It's a pity that their sight cannot penetrate the lake water, and they cannot see the situation in the depths of the lake. Naturally, they cannot see the sunken ship from World War II, nor can they see the treasure in the ship.

Mustafa looked at the surrounding environment and asked impatiently:

"How deep is the water here? Steven, is it suitable for salvage operations? Are there any Nile crocodiles around? When do you decide to go exploring?"

Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then smiled and said:

"I don't know much about the situation in this water area. The treasure map left by the Italians indicates that this is one of the deepest water areas in Lake Tana. It is difficult for ordinary people to dive to the bottom of the lake.

Because of this, the Italians scuttled the treasure ship here and hid the treasure here, which has never been discovered, but for us, this is not a problem at all! "

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and informed the ships that they had dropped anchor here, ready to launch exploration operations.
