Five days later, Eero.
This is an unknown town located in the eastern region. Year-round sandstorms have destroyed the town's buildings. At first glance, it looks like a ruins that have been weathered by wind and sand.
If it weren't for a few local residents who occasionally appeared on the street, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an abandoned ancient ruin.
At this time, a group of people wearing clothes that were incompatible with the local style were walking on the streets of the town. Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the few residents here.
"Dingling bell~"
A crisp bell rang, and a 1.8-meter-tall white man wearing a short-sleeved vest opened the door curtain of a stone house and came out.
"Guys, I just confirmed that this is indeed the town of Qiqituk, and our destination has arrived."
As the man spoke, everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, they seemed to have spent a lot of energy searching for this place these days.
"Hahaha, I finally found it. It turns out that this place is Qiqituk Town. It is really hard to find. If I can't find it again, I feel like I will be depressed."
The man who spoke was tall and thin, with a pale complexion. He was Hu Peng, a member of the Light Blue Department.
"Yes, we already have the address, but it still took us so long to find it. This feeling is similar to the various ruins we were looking for during our expedition."
The person who answered was another boy, Xun You, who was inseparable from Hu Peng.
The two of them spoke in Chinese, but the remaining people almost all looked like foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes. There was only one woman in her thirties with a face of mixed Asian and European descent.
"Wes, thank you for your help. Now that we have found the town of Qiqituk, there is only one last step left. We just need to find the guy named Wasikkal."
Hu Peng looked at the man before and said excitedly.
This man was the bounty hunter Wes Kaman who had helped them find the black mamba when they were in Ganggo.
The people beside him are the other three teammates of their bounty team, namely: sniper Ciro, demolitionist Anna, and intelligence agent Mikel.
These four people are the wildfire team that is often active in Africa.
"You're welcome, boss. If you pay us, then we'll do the work. This is a matter of course."
Weiss said with a smile, while keeping his feet on the ground, leading a few people towards a shop on the side of the street.
"This is what I just found out about. It is the only place in this town that entertains guests. If you need to find that guy, I suggest that we rest for one night and set off again tomorrow."
"Ah? Tomorrow? Isn't that person still in the town here?"
Weiss shook his head and said: "Not here. According to the information I just heard, this person should live in a small oasis outside the town, near the edge of the Sahara Desert."
When Hu Peng and Xun You heard this, they immediately felt a little depressed. They originally thought that this trip had come to an end, but they didn't expect that they would have to enter the desert.
"Okay, then we really should have a good rest. I hope we can find him tomorrow..."
While the few people were talking, they had already walked into a small room. The place was as shabby as they imagined. There was only one table and one chair in the entire hall, and they all looked like they were about to be scrapped.
"I want to eat Kusari."
The only female member of the team muttered. There was a smelly and hard salted fish placed in front of her.
"Kusali..."
Hearing this, Xun You couldn't help but think of the snack consisting of pasta, rice, and hollow noodles that he had eaten when he first came to Erlo, and a trace of yearning and regret appeared on his face.
In fact, he refused to eat that kind of food at that time, because in his opinion, it was not too different from some dark dishes in China.
But now, he finally understands what it means that there is no harm without comparison.
During these days of travel, Xun You had visited many small towns, and he thought he would be able to taste some local specialties and delicacies.
But he found that he was wrong. It turned out that the mixed hodgepodge he had eaten was actually an excellent delicacy.
"God knows why I ended up eating salted fish on the edge of the largest desert in the world."
Xun You looked at the wide-eyed salted fish placed in front of him and felt the disgusting smell that passed into his nose. He almost vomited out yesterday's meal.
He swore that if they hadn't been looking for it for so long and exhausted the supplies, he would never have touched this salted fish.
"Guys, look at the expression on the boss over there, this is the best food we can find here."
Weiss said comforting everyone.
"I'm sure you don't want to taste what barbecue dung beetles taste like."
After everyone heard what he said, they suddenly felt even more unappetizing.
Among the people, the first to take action was the intelligence agent of the Wildfire Team, Mikel.
He picked up the salted fish on the table with a calm face, then looked at it and said:
"Fisik salted fish is said to have originated from the Farah period. Whenever the water in the Nebo River receded in the spring, many dead fish would be washed ashore to dry naturally. Later, they were picked up by the ancient Eros and discovered The taste is so delicious that there is a tradition of eating salted fish.”
The man wearing glasses said as he smoothly put the salted fish into his mouth and chewed it twice.
The next second.
"vomit!"
Mikel bent over and spit out everything in his mouth.
Not only that, he couldn't stop vomiting.
In addition to the salted fish in his mouth, everything he had eaten before was also vomited on the ground. The whole process lasted for more than five minutes, and several people watching on the side were frightened.
"Even, even Mikel..."
The black sniper Ciro watched this scene with a twitching face. Among their team, Mikel was a man who was said to be unconscious. Now, even he was defeated by this salted fish...
Thinking of this, he looked at the mummified salted fish in his hand, and then threw it back on the table.
"I, I feel like I'm not that hungry anymore. You guys eat first and I'll take a rest."
After seeing Mikel's look like he was about to spiral into heaven, no one dared to try this kind of salted fish anymore. They all dropped what they were holding and ran to the resting room next door.
The local resident on the side looked puzzled after seeing this.
He curiously walked to the table, picked up a salted fish and took a bite. He immediately showed an expression of enjoyment. He looked at the room behind the curtain and felt even more puzzled.
"They don't even eat such delicious food? I'm afraid they're just a bunch of fools."
