A few days later, we received another mission. We entered the team lobby. Sister Feng took out the map and information and pointed to a location on the map: "In the desert area east of Damascus and south of Palmyra, there is a group of explorers from various countries. The expedition team disappeared.”
"Three of them are Chinese, one of whom is a world-renowned archaeological expert, another is his assistant, and another is the president of the Pilin Business Association, which funded the expedition."
"The last distress signal received was from a ruins in the desert. According to the intelligence, there are no human traces. The mission this time is to find and rescue all the missing people, 16 in total. Everyone go prepare now and set off in 30 minutes. .”
A group of us took a plane to Damascus, transferred to a car, came to the roadside closest to the accident site, got off the car, and walked there.
We had all been trained in desert areas, packed enough equipment and supplies and set off directly.
After walking for a long time, it was already afternoon. Sister Feng looked at her watch and then at the map: "It's local time now, 16:13 in the afternoon. It seems that we can't reach our destination today. We have to find a place to stay. It's really not possible. Set up camp in an hour.”
"Look at that!" Glasses pointed at a small dot in the distance, which looked like a house.
"Let's go over and have a look." Sister Feng pointed to the small dot.
Shao Bo and Lao Tu remained silent all the way, obviously to save energy.
When we got closer, we found that there was indeed a house there, and it looked quite small.
When I walked to the fence outside the house, I saw a middle-aged man feeding the camels there.
He saw us standing at the fence, chattering something, and came over.
My glasses and I looked at him stupidly...
Shaobo stepped forward and took out a stack of dollars and handed it to him. He immediately beamed and stretched out his hand to invite him in.
Shaobo turned to us and said, "He asked us if we wanted to stay in a hotel." "Staying in a hotel? Is this a hotel?"
"More or less, this is a private hotel for travelers or explorers to rest." He checked around.
"No problem, let's go in." Shaobo indicated that we could go in.
I followed everyone and walked in. Inside was a hall with 6 large tables placed in the middle. The hall was really not small, and the decoration was very simple, but it had a bit of the flavor of the ancient Western Regions.
Entering the door, there are seven or eight people sitting on the right side, basically all dressed up in the Western Regions. Only the young woman at the head and the two little girls standing next to her look similar to us. She sits upright in the middle of the table. Others gathered around her.
We sat down at the back of the hall, and the middle-aged man brought hot water. Shaobo muttered something, and he nodded and entered the back room.
Shaobo knocked on my leg and said, "Did you see that beautiful woman over there?"
I shook my head: "I have a girlfriend and I don't care about beautiful women."
"What kind of girlfriend are you? She's not here now. What are you afraid of?" Shao Bo glanced at me sideways.
"I'm telling you, this is a serious beauty, don't regret it if you don't look at her!" After saying that, he patted his glasses again.
I shook my head when I saw the glasses, and quickly covered my face with a bowl...
With a look of contempt on his face, Shaobo knocked on me again: "It's a shame not to watch! If I have a chance, I will definitely go and strike up a conversation."
I said to myself: Why don’t you find Lao Tu?
By the way, he turned to look at Lao Tu.
When I went there, Lao Tu was sleeping on the table and drooling...
Shao Bo said so awesomely that I couldn't help it, so I still took a look...
The woman sitting in the middle is about the same age as us. She is wearing a maroon dress, with long hair shawl. She looks dignified and virtuous. Her words and deeds are chic and generous. She can indeed be called a real beauty.
She happened to look over, and I quickly turned around...
I heard a female voice behind me shout: "What are you looking at? If you look again, I will cut off your eyes! How dare you be rude to the lady!"
I thought it was me, so I quickly turned around and explained.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and two steel hairpins flew over. I was just about to get out of the way, but I didn't expect that my fingers had already pinched the steel hairpins in front of me. This position was obviously aimed at Shao Bo...
One of the little girls standing next to the woman stamped her feet and scolded: "What are you meddling in!"
It seems that this sentence is meant for me...
The group of people on the opposite side picked up their knives and pointed them at us... and they yelled something unknown...
The young woman waved her hand, signaling for them to leave.
He stood up and walked towards us: "May I ask, are you all Chinese?"
I nodded "We were just passing by."
She stared at me for a while, and suddenly the sword flashed. Before I had time to react, there was a "dang" sound, and the steel hairpin in my hand was already blocked in front of my chest.
Let me be careful, this "Nine Secrets of the Mysterious Dragon" is indeed not a fake.
"What are you doing!" Sister Feng and Shao Bo stood up. Lao Tu was startled and stood up too.
"It's nothing, I just want to see if you are treasure hunters." She said leisurely, as if what she just chopped was not a person, but some insect or bird...
"You!" Sister Feng was a little excited.
"People with your skills must be here for the treasure." She walked around me...
"Fuck your grandma's treasure!" I yelled.
She was not angry, but looked at us with great interest: "Well, since it's for money, why not do me a favor before you hunt for treasure? No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will give you a large sum of money. This Is it a good deal?"
A few of us looked at each other...
Sister Feng shouted: "I told you that we are just passing by, not looking for any treasures..."
"Huh? First tell me what you want us to do for you, and we can think about it." I interrupted Sister Feng.
When she was about to speak, Sister Feng pulled me over and whispered: "Chen Xiaofeng, we are on a mission, you will be fired if you do this!"
I made a gesture to tell her to calm down.
The woman looked at Sister Feng: "I want you to help me find someone. No matter whether I can find someone or not, I will pay each of you 20,000 US dollars. What are the conditions?"
We looked at each other...
"Who are you looking for?" I asked.
"My father, the president of Pilin Chamber of Commerce!"
"Ah!" Sister Feng shouted, "What? Don't want to?" She stared at Sister Feng coldly...
"No, what about that... I'll tell you the truth..."
Sister Feng winked at me, indicating that I still didn’t understand the situation.
"Ah, I mean, we heard that someone is missing here. We are all Chinese. Come over and see if we can be of any help..." I said tentatively.
She looked at me with disbelief, then turned around and muttered a few words to the people behind her. A little man took out a tape recorder from his bag and handed it to her.
She pressed the play button: "Xu'er, we have found the entrance, I will...ah!~What is that~..." What followed was a murmur, mixed with screams. , followed by the "beep" sound of the phone hanging up...
"This is..." "This is the last phone call between me and my father. I recorded it on my device."
I complained in my mind: Why on earth did you answer the phone and record it? Awesome!
"Because, before my father left, he specifically told me that every phone call he made would be recorded."
Oh I got it...
"Then, can you let us listen to other recordings? Maybe there are any clues?" I asked.
"Yes, but you must prove that you can help me."
"how to prove?"
"Beat me!"
Let me tell you, what kind of logic is this...
She pointed at the five of us: "As long as one of you can beat me, it can prove that you can help me, and we can come together!"
I saw behind her, the two little girls were actually laughing...
I complained: "Can those behind you beat you? Then you are too good."
She hummed: "It's none of your business."
"How can we bully such a beautiful girl? I'll go first." Shao Bo stood up with a smile.
Glasses raised his hand: "I...I abstain..."
"Little girl, don't say we bullied you." Lao Tu said.
"Then let's go outside." She pointed to the door.
I said to myself: Didn’t you ask us to help you? Don’t believe us now? A woman's heart is really a needle in the sea...
We followed her to the desert outside the fence. Others stood by the fence. She and Shaobo stood in the open space in front. The wind was blowing slightly. This scene was really a bit like a knight's duel in the movie...
A little girl stepped forward and said, "Miss, do you want to use this?" "Yes." She took the thing from the little girl's hand.
I took a closer look and saw that it was a cork branch...
"Choose what weapon you want." She pointed at Shao Bo with a branch.
Shao Bo smiled and said: "I will use whatever you use, and I won't take advantage of you."
"Give it to him." She turned to the little girl and said.
The little girl immediately took another branch to Shao Bo.
"You take action first." Shao Bo said with a playful smile.
The woman was not polite at all. She came up and said "chachacha" three times.
Shao Bo didn't even block this damn thing for a single round... He was pressed against the "Tian Tu Point" by a branch...
A few of us opened our mouths wide...
The group over there were all laughing from ear to ear...
This contrast...
Lao Tu rushed up to help Shao Bo, but Shao Bo covered his face with his hands...
After helping Shao Bo back, Lao Tu went to find a piece of firewood in the fence, held it and rushed forward: "Little girl, don't say that I bully you!"
"Stop talking nonsense and take the move." the woman shouted.
This old butcher was so fierce...but he couldn't hold off for three rounds...and was defeated.
Sister Feng leaned close to my ear: "Xiao Feng, it's useless for me to go up in this situation, why not..."
I know what Sister Feng means. She wants me to come directly.
I nodded.
He walked forward and said, "Girl, your moves are so powerful. I need a weapon to bully or not to bully. There is no such thing as bullying on the battlefield. If you don't have a weapon, you have no choice but to give up today. We will make an appointment next time." "I'll show her weakness first.
"What weapons do you need?" She looked at me contemptuously.
"If you can, please give me a sword." "Huh?" She seemed a little surprised.
"Give it to him." She motioned to her men.
Another little girl ran back to the hotel, ran out after a while, and handed me a sword. I drew the sword out of its sheath. The sword was shining brightly, and it looked like it was not ordinary.
The little girl made a face before leaving... I ignored her and nodded, holding the sword in my right hand and the scabbard in my left hand, "Girl, please."
She didn't mean to be humble at all, and she started to make a series of moves.
I said to myself: Demo, I have the "Nine Secrets of the Mysterious Dragon" to protect myself.
I didn't have to keep my mind at all, my body was like petals in the wind, erratic, and she missed me after several rounds.
She realized that it was not that easy to deal with me, and gradually became cautious.
She used a flaw, but I didn't fall for it. Suddenly she stabbed at me at an incredible angle. The branch was pointed directly at my chest. I swung my sword and chopped off her branch.
She threw away the branch and shouted: "This doesn't count, Xiao Ru! Change the sword."
I cursed in my heart: What the hell are you doing?
