Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Ten thousand meters in the sky, above the white clouds.

The sun became within reach.

Compared to the blue-black exterior, the cabin of the shuttle is a bright silver-white, exuding an overall futuristic technological industrial metal style.

The interior design is avant-garde and full of technology in every aspect.

There are exactly twenty seats in the spacious cabin, which corresponds to the twenty people in the Zhongzhou team after it reaches the quota.

Each seat is equipped with a holographic touch screen, which can control the entertainment system on the personal screen, adjust the seat status and obtain current flight information.

The belly of the spacecraft is towards the rear.

It is a circle of transparent metal material like a floor-to-ceiling window, which allows people inside to clearly see most of the surrounding scenery.

And looking at the little black dot represented by London, England.

Ade took a deep breath of relief:
"It seems I'm just carsick, not airsick!"

"This has to be good news, brother!"

O'Connor said with a smile.

There was no way out. Evelyn and the others were now like wild monkeys on stimulants.

Everyone was asking a hundred thousand questions at once.

Fortunately, the shuttle connected to Moss has a high intelligence program.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to answer all their strange questions.

Especially when everyone got off the shuttle and stood on the sand in Cairo, Egypt an hour later.

Some of them were like crazy.

After all, this flying speed is really too amazing.

From London, England to Cairo, Egypt in just one breakfast?
It can be said that it greatly offsets the time wasted on the journey.

However, when I learned that this was not the fastest speed.

Evelyn, who had the strongest thirst for knowledge, almost dissected the shuttle on the spot for research.

For example, Jonathan's smart brain performed very well.

Of course, it's the kind of excellence that money-lovers have.

“Really, Li Xiao, my half brother.

You provide the technical drawings and I pay for it. I have a few friends who work in processing and manufacturing factories. How about we split the project equally?"

"Well, 40% to 60% is fine. Of course, as your brother, I definitely won't let you suffer any loss. How about this, 30% to 70%?"

"At most 28, any lower there is no room for negotiation..."

"Believe me, if we only have a few more planes like this, it won't be a problem for me to become the richest man in the world!"

"If you don't agree with this plan, then I have another one. Look at this gift behind you. It's so heavy. I think I can help you carry it."

“In fact, I have a spirit of helping others.”

"Really? You see, we're going to be together for the rest of the journey. It's so inconvenient for you to carry me. Let me help you. We're brothers after all. I can't just watch you suffer!"

"Please, just let me carry you for a while?"

Just like that, with Jonathan's voice like chanting a mantra, the Zhongzhou team once again walked into the dilapidated city walls of Cairo.

And under Jonathan's "hypnosis" that was like chanting a mantra, Li Xiao had no choice but to hand over Zhang Jie.

Li Xiao suddenly understood Sun Wukong in Journey to the West a little bit. In fact, what Tang Seng said made so much sense.

It’s just that the other party will keep talking and make you annoyed, so you might as well listen to them and have some peace and quiet.

Looking at the familiar desert beneath his feet, O'Connor had a very complicated expression:

"It's terrible. You know, I took a three-day and three-night train ride to return to England four days ago..."

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gone back!"

Evelin and Eric next to them didn't say much.

But from the indescribable expression on his face, it was clear that he felt a little regretful.

Just as they were thinking this, they felt a chill on their necks, startling the three members of the family.

This finally gave my tired soul some comfort.

The originally hot desert air in Cairo has become a little more humid, and it can be said that my whole body feels comfortable.

This slug, only ten centimeters long, was the one that Cheng Xiao distributed to them on the shuttle.

Although the healing ability of slugs is not strong, it is still somewhat useful for ordinary people.

For example, Jonathan doesn't look injured at all now.

Instead, he boasted about himself in high spirits and stroked the smooth bone-white shield with both hands as if he was groping a beautiful woman.

Zheng Zha's eyebrows twitched when he saw that obscene and intoxicated look.

There were several times when I wanted to say something, but after thinking it over I decided not to.

Zheng Zha could hold back, but Chen Zilong couldn't.

He curiously asked O'Connor beside him:

"Why does Jonathan like this shield, and his appearance, tsk tsk tsk!"

"What shield? Isn't this an oversized ivory shield?"

After O'Connor finished speaking, he noticed that everyone on the Zhongzhou team nearby paused, but they quickly recovered.

Chen Zilong had a strange expression:
"Haha, yes, it's ivory!"

Chen Zilong really wanted to ask, how big an elephant must be to have a tusk that is more than one meter wide?

After entering the city.

Compared to ten years ago, Cairo as a whole has hardly changed much.

Zheng Zha and Li Xiao could even remember some of the streets.

After all, we all ran for our lives here before, so how could we not be familiar with it?

If there is any change, the most obvious is the addition of a steel track leading to a nearby city.

In any case, transportation is at least much more convenient.

Along with a few whistle blasts, there was also the unique sound of a diesel locomotive.

A train also drove in.

At this time, the train whistled on the track, and the guards at the intersection were all strong men wearing red robes and holding hot weapons.

The people who saw this scene exchanged glances.

Then Xiao Honglu took Lochner and walked over.

The man in red, who was originally on guard, relaxed when he saw Lochner's appearance.

Li Xiao, Zheng Zha, Zhao Yingkong, and Xiao Honglu were all filled with emotion as they looked at everything familiar around them.

"Ten years is a terrifying time. It seems that the damage and impact caused by Imhotep have completely disappeared."

Li Xiao looked at the endless stream of people coming and going, and couldn't help but nodded and said:

"These people seem to have recovered well, but I wonder if they still remember chewing wood after becoming the living dead."

Apart from them, Chen Zilong, Zhang Heng, Zhu Wen, and Cheng Xiao were all looking around with curiosity.

To be honest, it was the first time for the four of them to come to a city in the heart of the desert like Egypt, and that was decades ago.

“Holy shit, is this a real pyramid?”

Chen Zilong looked up and discovered a flaw that he had never seen before.

The exaggerated voice immediately attracted passers-by to start pointing.

After all, in the city of Cairo, when you wake up and open your eyes, the second thing you can see is the sun, and the pyramids.

Some people have been watching it for a lifetime.

They even wondered, how could there be anyone in this world who had never seen the pyramids?
What an unreasonable person.

Seeing Chen Zilong and Cheng Xiao taking out their cameras and starting to take pictures, Li Xiao and Zheng Zha couldn't help but look at each other.

Because they had behaved like this before.

Passing by the market in the shantytown, several desert merchants could tell at a glance with their experienced eyes that several members of the Zhongzhou team were pink and tender little chicks.

After all, those men and women who look around and have great skin are the best proof.

You know, this quality is a hot commodity in the slave market.

But before they could go forward, several men in red stopped them.

These desert merchants then left happily.

At this time, Xiao Honglu came back from a distance and said to Zheng Zha and O'Connor: "I just confirmed that a large number of people from the Red Tribe began to move with supplies last night."

"But the good news is that they left some personnel stationed in Cairo and Hamunatta."

"All the people who excavated the site are still here to make repairs, even though work can start again."

“And these people are now all under control.”

After saying that, Xiao Honglu unfolded the map he had just bought at the market.

"Time is of the essence, I said it directly."

"I suggest recruiting a large number of civilian laborers in Cairo and several nearby cities, and then taking them to Hamunaptra together."

"In this way, together with the construction work done by the Guardian Clan and the Red-Cloaked Man, we can excavate the altar in the shortest possible time."

Just when Zheng Zha and O'Connor were discussing how to send telegrams to recruit people.

A voice suddenly sounded from a team of more than a dozen people:
"I'm hungry!"

"Mom and Dad, how about we eat here?"

Li Xiao looked at the place where Eric stayed, looked up, and couldn't help but feel a sense of coincidence.

Zheng Zha, Evelyn, O'Connor, and even Jonathan were all in a trance for a moment.

Because this was the special restaurant that Jonathan first took them to dinner "ten years ago".

Zheng Zha smiled and walked forward, touching the stone pillar at the door:
"I remember that this restaurant collapsed on the day the Indian team attacked. I didn't expect that a new one has been built now."

"Come on, everyone. Let's have a taste. Is it the same as it was back then?"

Li Xiao patted Jonathan on the shoulder at this time:

"Brother, since this is our old place, let's follow the old rules. You treat us."

Jonathan nodded in a daze, and then he reacted:

"Fuck, why should I treat more than a dozen people?"

"Just because I invited you ten years ago?"

Li Xiao and Zheng Zha's voices rang out from the front:
"Of course."

It is said that eating and drinking are the fastest ways to get closer to a man.

The same principle applies in Egypt.

At least O'Connell and Jonathan were able to drink with Chen Zilong and Cheng Xiao.

With everyone's drinking capacity, they naturally didn't have to worry about delaying things.

And Adebei also opened his heart.

After eating and drinking, everyone realized that the pharaoh's guards had long wanted to dig up Hamunaptra's tomb.

Because after O'Connor and his men entered, it was the first time they knew that the city of the dead they were guarding actually had so much gold buried in it.

But when they found out, the first part had already come to an end.

The entire City of the Dead collapsed into the desert ocean with the arrival of the God Team.

The next ten years were limited by the ancestral oath to guard Imhotep for generations.

Another thing is that they are afraid of the undead priest Imhotep buried there.

That's why I didn't do it.

And now when we learn that Imhotep has been resurrected again.

When the Zhongzhou team also needed to dig out Hamunata, Adebei and the elders among them were naturally very happy.

In fact, when it comes down to it, it is still the role of gold.

As the chief of the Guardian tribe, doesn't he know how poor his tribe is?

The saying that those who lag behind will be beaten is not only known to the people in the East.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to fight back and could only watch when his grave was dug up by the men in red.

However, Zheng Zha and the others also understood, after all, in the plot of the second part of the original Mummy.

In order to resist the army of death, the guardian clan that Adebei belonged to all held scimitars and shields.

This is enough to show how poor they are.

You have to know that the timeline at that time was the end of World War I, when war weapons were rampant.

It can be said that anyone with some money can get a lot of guns.

After dinner, everyone successfully met up with the Guardian Clan in Cairo.

And a large number of temporary workers were recruited immediately.

That afternoon.

Adbay took the guards to Khariga, south of Cairo, while O'Connor took Lochner to the city of Matruh in the west.

Because compared to Cairo, these two cities are the most densely populated places.

This also means that as long as you are willing to pay, you can recruit a large number of young and strong migrant workers and local "slaves".

Xiao Honglu and his companions took advantage of the time to control the actual person in power in Cairo to provide escort for the next action.

Anyway, one day and two nights later.

That was the fourth day, at dawn.

When the sun shines on the earth.

The men in red, the army, the guards, plus the migrant workers recruited from the three cities and the strong slaves purchased.

There were nearly five thousand people and two thousand camels in total.

Carrying a large number of tools and ancient machines, they began to gather outside the gates of Cairo.

After gathering, they began to move forward towards Hamunaptra without stopping.

It can be said that such a team, if equipped with modern weapons, is enough to become an army.

Defeat the existence of eighty percent of the countries in this world.

After all, in order to improve efficiency, Zheng Zha and his team specially selected strong young people.

But now, most of these people have hoes and shovels in their hands, and their purpose is just to dig.

Time is efficiency, and sometimes money can replace time.

Such a large-scale mobilization of population and materials also cost the Zhongzhou team a large amount of gold, gems and diamonds.

After all, this was the era when World War I had just ended.

It was a time when the economic level was seriously declining.

After controlling the top leaders.

Ordinary people only need the simplest money to mobilize all their enthusiasm.

Then they unleash a power that even they themselves could hardly imagine.

"It would have taken a week to assemble a construction team, but you succeeded in just one day and two nights!"

"It's incredible!"

Adebei, who was guarding the clan, said with a wry smile.

Jonathan, who was riding on a camel beside him, was extremely angry:

"After spending so much gold, I now doubt that Amshe's pyramids don't have as much gold as you guys."

"What a big spender (prodigal)!"

As he spoke, Jonathan angrily hit the "card" behind him.

It seemed as if it was his money that was spent.

The workers who were summoned were not stupid. Without real money, how could they be willing to follow the large army to the legendary Hamunaptra?

In Jonathan's opinion, the deposit paid by the Zhongzhou team alone was already a lot.

Not to mention the salary that the Zhongzhou team promised to give them later.

As the main force advances.

Everyone in the Zhongzhou team also rode on camels.

After all, because of Hamunatta's special existence, this little time must be wasted on the way there.

Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong were sitting on a camel.

He looked at Jonathan and said:
"There is strength in numbers, which is a true saying no matter in which world."

"Since there is a time limit, adding more people can shorten the time."

"Besides, we don't lack gold." (End of this chapter)
