Of course, Zhu Yu would not think that he heard wrongly.
He said hello to the sentry and walked quickly towards the ancient city.
The sentry commander thought that Zhu Yu wanted to explore the ancient city at night, so he asked a sentry to follow him. He and other sentries continued to patrol.
Zhu Yu walked to the city gate and still didn't see anything.
He simply jumped on the statue of Anubis and looked towards the city.
Then, he was shocked!
Thousands of venomous snakes and venomous insects are coming out of the city, and they are crawling towards this side!
These snakes and insects use the road as a boundary, and the well water on both sides does not interfere with the river water, and they go hand in hand.
Occasionally, a snake would try to get a taste of the beetle, but would be immediately summoned back by some kind of controller.
These snakes are already less than a hundred meters away from the gate of the ancient city!
Zhu Yu took a deep breath, then turned to look at the sentry, and said in a deep voice:
"Send the signal quickly! Those poisonous snakes are coming to attack!"
The sentry was stunned for a moment. Zhu Yu no longer cared about talking to him. He reached into his pocket, took out two incendiary bombs, flicked the picks, and threw them towards the poisonous snakes and beetles!
"boom--!"
The incendiary bomb exploded at the poisonous insects and snakes in the distance, immediately causing a field of living creatures to burn!
The sentry understood immediately, turned around and rushed towards the sentry commander, shouting as he rushed:
"Squad leader! The boss said that venomous snakes and venomous insects are coming over there! Let us sound the alarm! Send the alarm!"
The sentry's voice immediately woke up many people.
Of course, Zhu Yu's several incendiary bombs also contributed.
Zhu Yu turned his head and saw the sentry running away, so he took out a few incendiary bombs and threw them at him.
These poisonous snakes and insects are naturally afraid of fire. Although there are higher-level beings prompting them to rush towards the human camp, the power of the flames also slows down their progress.
However, the camp was hundreds of meters away. When the sentry commander fired a warning shot and the people in the camp were armed, and when they ran over again, Zhu Yu had been forced to get down from the statue and retreated to a place ten meters away from the gate.
Because those snakes and poisonous insects have already come over!
Even if Zhu Yu had three heads and eight arms, he couldn't stop all the thousands of poisonous snakes and insects, so he had no choice but to retreat.
Those venomous snakes, especially the flying-winged snakes, are very fast and can almost catch up with the running speed of an adult.
"Boss, retreat! The flamethrower is coming!"
Behind him, Ran Jie shouted.
Zhu Yu immediately relaxed and threw the remaining two incendiary bombs in front of the group of flying snakes that rushed to the front. He quickly turned around and ran towards the crowd.
The incendiary bomb raised a ball of sand and at the same time exploded into a ball of flame, covering the fastest flying snakes.
The flames ignited and stopped the momentum of these snakes. When the snakes reacted and sprang out from both sides, Zhu Yu had already retreated into the team.
Then, the team leader gave an order, and more than a dozen flamethrowers swept directly towards the poisonous insects and snakes that were rushing towards them!
Suddenly there was a crackling sound in the air, and an unpleasant smell began to spread in the air.
At this time, several more people shot several flares in the crowd.
Swarms of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects immediately appeared in front of everyone!
I only saw that the distance from the city wall to the crowd was almost two hundred meters, and it was densely covered with poisonous snakes and poisonous insects!
And there are more of these things coming out of the city wall continuously!
Obviously, these poisonous insects and snakes are much more numerous than the original scorpions!
And for those scorpions, everyone was prepared in advance. Both the attack and the subsequent supply of supplies were very well planned.
But the attack of these venomous snakes and insects at night made the team members passive.
Although there was a plan, the success of the day still made everyone lose their due vigilance. If Zhu Yu's intuition hadn't worked, I'm afraid there would have been a large number of casualties in the camp.
Seeing that the flamethrowers stabilized their formation, Zhu Yu and the others began to join other team members and took the opportunity to throw incendiary bombs into the gaps between attacks to make up for the flamethrowers' blind spots.
There are still many team members preparing behind the jet soldiers to form a three-stage jet to prevent gaps from appearing and allowing the flying snakes to break in.
Some team members were holding engineering shovels or guns next to the flamethrowers to deal with the fish that slipped through the net.
It seems that the entire defensive scene is in order.
However, until now, Zhu Yu still feels uneasy.
Is there still a problem somewhere?
Zhu Yu looked around, everyone's attention was focused on the poisonous snakes and insects in front.
He walked to the side holding two incendiary bombs.
Qin Fei and Cao Dalong immediately followed.
Neither of them spoke. As bodyguards, they only needed to protect their boss at this time.
Walking to one side of the camp, Zhu Yu looked at the "battlefield" where the two sides faced off from here.
The incendiary bombs thrown by the flamethrowers and the team behind them basically covered the poisonous insects and snakes perfectly, and there was no problem with defense.
He continued walking to the side, where there were undulating sand dunes.
Zhu Yu walked a few dozen meters and suddenly heard the rustling sound behind the dunes!
He immediately opened his eyes and looked through the dunes. He suddenly discovered that just behind the dunes, groups of poisonous insects were crawling towards this side quickly!
That is to say, these poisonous beetles cannot fly. Otherwise, the team members might have been surrounded by now!
"There's a situation!" Zhu Yu shouted and threw the incendiary bomb in his hand towards the back of the sand dune!
Then he turned around and ran back!
Zhu Yu shouted while running:
"Both sides of the camp, pay attention to both sides of the camp! Poisonous insects are surrounding you here! Come over quickly! Pay attention over there too! There may be poisonous snakes over there!"
Although the fire-breathing soldiers' voices were loud, Zhu Yu's voice was extremely penetrating, and the leader of the team heard it immediately.
He did not question Zhu Yu's words at all, and immediately divided dozens of people into two groups and rushed out to both sides of the camp.
Almost at the same time as these people stood out, black crows appeared in their field of vision!
As usual, the flares lit up, and then they saw a steady stream of poisonous insects and snakes rushing towards the camp!
This time, without the need for an order from the person in charge, the fire-breathing soldiers had already begun to attack the poisonous insects and snakes that were only a few dozen meters away from them!
Zhu Yu and the others had retreated to the camp and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, if it weren't for you, we would all have to answer here!" Cao Dalong was still frightened.
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be here." Zhu Yu smiled, but he was also frightened - even if he was surrounded, he had the information to run out, but what about these team members?
The team members came at his request, could he leave them all behind?
At this time, the drone had also been released, spraying pesticides behind the swarms of poisonous snakes and insects.
Various attack methods were used to stabilize the formation.
"I'll go to the back and take a look. Don't let those guys come around from behind again." Ran Jie was still frightened and ran to the back to take a look.
Zhu Yu did not follow him. Now that he had calmed down, logically speaking, there should be no serious danger.
The flames of the flamethrower were rotated for more than ten rounds, and the incendiary bombs were almost used up, and the poisonous insects and snakes were finally eliminated.
And from the city wall to the camp, the distance of several hundred meters was covered with the charred corpses of dead poisonous creatures.
The smell is very unpleasant.
"It must be at least half a meter thick!" Tian Zhijie, the person in charge, said beside Zhu Yu, "If it were not brought here on such a large scale, how good the medicinal materials would be! What a pity!"
Zhu Yu smiled.
It was only those who had been trained in the army who thought so - they had just fought such a high-intensity "battle", and now most of these team members were still sitting on the ground to rest.
Those flamethrowers were put aside to be dismantled and maintained after cooling.
After the cans were sprayed, a lot of them were unloaded.
Now Tian Zhijie is so optimistic, which is a major feature of our organization.
"Take care of your life first. With the money in the future, you can buy more." Cao Dalong next to him also joked, "Just this time, you should earn enough to make the country's annual income!"
"Almost the same." Tian Zhijie said with a smile.
Indeed, one day is equivalent to one month's salary in China. According to the current excavation speed of this ancient city ruins, it will take ten days and a half.
"Everyone worked hard this night." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "Everyone will receive a bonus of US$10,000! Just think of it as my thank you!"
The accident was sudden, and the attacks by poisonous insects and snakes came suddenly, but everyone responded so well and didn't panic at all, which was beyond Zhu Yu's expectation.
Given time, the security guards under his command will definitely come in handy!
"Thank you, boss!" Tian Zhijie cupped his hands, "I want to thank you, boss, for everyone!"
"You deserve it." Zhu Yu and the others said as they walked forward, "Without you, I wouldn't be able to earn so much."
There are already team members in front of us who are carefully exploring the path, firing flares every once in a while.
Under the vision of white light, there are no more poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, whether inside the city wall or further away.
"You still have to be careful later and don't take it lightly. We don't know whether we killed them outright or whether they retreated into their holes. Don't let them kill you!"
"Don't worry, we are professionals in this matter." Tian Zhijie said, "The people behind are still doing a good job of timely preparedness, and those flamethrowers can still continue to work. Fortunately, we have brought enough supplies this time .”
After walking around and finding nothing unusual, Zhu Yu and the others returned to the camp.
It will be safer to have double the number of people standing guard on the city wall and increase the defensive distance.
Tian Zhijie told the others about Zhu Yu's bonus, and the team members cheered.
Zhu Yu smiled.
Zhu Yu thinks it's good to be able to make these young team members happy.
The rest of the night was very safe.
Then just keep working.
The team members cleaned up the sand, and Zhu Yu began to walk inside.
Then he discovered the big hole in the pyramid - this was the passage for snakes to crawl out.
When I looked down with my clairvoyance, there was really no snake inside.
However, Zhu Yu did not go in. He walked around the city with Ran Jie and finally found something similar to an altar in the northwest corner of the city.
There were holes the size of fists on the edge of the platform, which didn't look very high.
Judging from the traces at the entrance of the cave, this is where the beetles crawled out.
These holes are densely packed, and there is a large hole more than one meter high on the back of the altar. It is estimated that most beetles crawled out of this hole.
After confirming these two key positions, Zhu Yu and the others retreated.
Next, the team members moved step by step every day, cleaning the sand and sorting out valuables.
The $10,000 promised by Zhu Yu was distributed on the same day. However, many team members still reported their home bank card numbers to Zhu Yu, and converted the money into soft sister coins and put them in their cards.
Zhu Yu was naturally very easy to satisfy this requirement - the money in his domestic account had never been used much.
With the financial incentive, the daily food supply is very good, and the work is not mandatory. If it is too hot, there is no need to work. This makes everyone very satisfied.
In the end, Tian Zhijie simply approached Zhu Yu and hoped to put the working hours in the early morning and evening. The total working hours add up to more than ten hours a day.
"Boss, we can't delay any longer. How long will we have to work if this continues!" Although wages were calculated on a daily basis, Zhu Yu was too generous and embarrassed the team members.
Furthermore, working in the desert is too boring, and they want to end it as soon as possible and return to a place with an oasis.
So Zhu Yu agreed to this suggestion, and the work progress accelerated a lot.
"Boss, I finally feel this quicksand." Seeing that the surface of the original quicksand has been piled with sand almost half a meter high, Cao Dalong sighed, "I thought it was a meaningless pit!"
Ran Jie teased him: "Then do you still think there is a beautiful rat spirit waiting for you inside?"
"What do you mean? Oh! If that's the case, a rat spirit can do it," Cao Dalong quickly reacted and said with a smile, "At least I have an elder brother who is the great god of Santan Haihui. He is also an awesome person!"
"Okay, you are awesome, but I was defeated by you." Ran Jie spread his hands, "You are still cold and careless."
"What's so taboo?" Cao Dalong said nonchalantly, "Look at "The Legend of the White Snake", "The Love Between Ghosts", "Splitting the Mountain to Save My Mother" and "Back to the Mountain". Our seniors and foreign friends have already done this. example!"
"Just be poor!"
Several people laughed and walked back to the construction site.
In the tent, Zhu Yu said to Ran Jie and others:
"I plan to explore the pyramid tomorrow. Please help me keep an eye on the outside. If any beetles come in, give me a heads up."
When Zhu Yu walked around the pyramid today, he found that his "intuition" did not give warning, so he said that there was not much danger here.
"Boss, how can this be done? Let's wait until the cleanup is completed and let the team members dismantle the pyramid. Let's go in together!" Ran Jie dissuaded.
"That's right, no matter what happens, you have to take us in with you." Cao Dalong also spoke.
"No, if there is danger inside, I can take care of myself and not you." Zhu Yu shook his head, "But I feel there shouldn't be any big danger inside."
Zhu Yu's intuition was very good. Now that he said it, Ran Jie and the others didn't have much to say.
The next day, Zhu Yu came to the pyramid with a small backpack.
It doesn't matter whether Zhu Yu is stingy or he doesn't want to cause a sensation. In short, he felt that it was better not to let too many people know about the things inside.
If he really had to dig out too many things, Zhu Yu was afraid that he would have his life to take them out, but he would not have his life to take them away.
He has experienced it in places like New York, so he will never overestimate the moral bottom line of those capitalists.
In other words, there is no bottom line at all.
As long as we can make money, we can use children to test vaccines in Africa, steal blood genes from special groups of people in Asia, bribe schools to use children to test genetically modified foods, start fires in the Pacific and burn down civilian houses without allowing rescue, in order to acquire land at low prices, etc. .
It's nothing more than leading beasts to eat people.
"Boss, pay attention to safety!" Qin Fei reminded him when he was going down.
Zhu Yu nodded and climbed into the big hole.
There are still traces of snakes crawling inside the cave, but these traces have dried near the entrance.
Opening his heavenly eye, Zhu Yu found that the further inside he went, the more humid the air became.
It’s normal to think about it. Snakes cannot survive in places that are too dry.
Even snakes on the surface of the desert need to cover themselves under the sand to find food - unless necessary, they will not run on the sand in hot weather, no matter how hot they like it.
The passage inside the pyramid is almost 1.5 meters high and 1 meter wide. You need to bend down to move forward.
The passage first goes down through steps. After entering, it is about five or six meters, and then it starts to go straight forward. Another five or six meters high, there is a cave entrance going straight down.
There is a passage in front, but you can see through it, and the opposite side is also closed.
Zhu Yu looked down and found that the hole was almost five or six meters deep, and the side of the hole was about one meter long.
I threw down a flash stick and found that it was dry underneath, with no water or sand.
But there is moisture coming up.
He stepped on the stone walls on both sides and slowly explored down.
Exploring the bottom, Zhu Yu found that there was a passage similar to a corridor that continued diagonally downward.
According to the memory in my mind, this passage is almost leading to the outside of the city now.
Zhu Yu held a high-beam flashlight in his hand and shined it forward. His eyes were also open, but he did not find any danger as far as he could see.
At the end of the passage is a stone room with a closed door.
At the door of the stone chamber, there are two two-meter-high warrior statues. He held a rusty scimitar in his hand.
The heavenly eye scanned and found that there were no mechanisms in the two warrior statues.
In other words, they will not move and will not slash at themselves with the machete.
Zhu Yu stepped forward and pushed the stone door. Although the stone door was a bit heavy, he was still able to push it open.
Pushing open the stone door, Zhu Yu saw something that was both unexpected and reasonable.
This is a burial chamber.
In the center of the tomb is a sarcophagus - a golden statue of a woman lying on it, with a golden snake coiled around the woman's body.
In the four corners of the tomb, there are four upright sarcophagi, the typical mummy sarcophagi that are thick at the top and thin at the bottom.
Around the central sarcophagus, there are many funerary objects - basically all gold products.
For example, a gold scepter, a set of gold masks, a set of gold gemstone jewelry, a half-meter-long gold scorpion, etc. are all very exquisite things.
Then, Zhu Yu felt a strong murderous aura in the tomb!
