Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 15: Wise Man? Normal Man!
After several days and a long journey, the team arrived deep in the Egyptian desert.

It was an early morning. When the night faded away and the bright sun rose from the horizon, the sunlight spread over the boundless desert, dyeing the world a bright orange.

Like a mirage, the light distorted the space, and the ruins of an ancient city emerged from the blurry ground, appearing in everyone's sight. It was Hamunaptra, the city of death, and also everyone's destination.

"Ahhh! We're finally here!"

After staggering for a few days, Wen Lie finally saw the existence of Hamunaptra, but he was not as excited as he was at the beginning.

His enthusiasm had long been exhausted during the long journey, and the substitute god Anubis, who had never let go of him in the first few days, was now hanging on the camel.

Wen Lie himself was also hanging on a camel.

The scenery was the same every day. Wen Lie was traveling in the endless desert, experiencing the severe cold and heat of the desert. If it weren't for the Mantra of Endurance to improve his physical fitness, he would have become half-dead.

After a while, everyone finally entered the ruins of Hamunaptra.

This is an extremely magnificent ancient city. From the remaining stone pillars and rock walls, we can see the glorious past of this city.

But no matter what it is, it cannot defeat the ruthless time.

Thousands of years have passed, and only a few broken walls and endless yellow sand remain of this ancient city, covering the ground of the ancient city, making it gray everywhere.

The army was stationed at the ruins of the ancient city and was not in a hurry to dig. No one could stand traveling through the desert under the stars and moon. After resting for an hour, some soldiers were seen looking for water sources, surveying the terrain, and making preparations for digging and fighting.

At noon, after everyone had lunch, the hired workers began to dig Hamunaptra.

Eve walked around the ancient city ruins and came to a wolf-headed stone statue. She said to everyone, "This is the statue of the God of Death. The God of Death's legs are deep underground. According to archaeologists, there is a secret compartment in the statue's legs that contains the Golden Scripture of the Sun."

While sipping sugarcane juice, Wen Lie asked Eve, "Are you sure it's the Golden Sutra of the Sun? According to common sense, shouldn't the Black Sutra of the Undead be under the feet of the God of Death? The Golden Sutra should be under the feet of the Sun God."

After resting for a few hours and replenishing sugar and water, Wen Lie's spirits had almost recovered.

Zheng Zha reminded Wen Lie, "This is the last bottle of sugarcane juice. Once you drink it, it's gone. From now on, you can only drink solid water and eat compressed food."

Wen Lie shrugged.

"Perhaps the rumor is distorted, or perhaps it's intentional. Once we open the secret compartments of both statues, we'll know what's going on."

Eve was thoughtful, but she wasn't sure what it was.

When the entrance to the underground mausoleum opened, she quickly grabbed the rope and slid down. Wen Lie tied his substitute, the god Anubis, to his back and followed him down.

In the ruins of Hamunaptra, there are five tents next to each other. These five tents are where the Central Plains team lives.

The senior experts were discussing something with Xiao Honglu here, while Gao Hongliang, Qin Zhuiyu and Zhang Heng were free to move around.

That being said, it's actually just an internal team conversation, outsiders are not allowed to disturb.

After taking a tour of the underground mausoleum with Eve and others, Wen Lie came back, pushed Zhang Jie aside, sat down next to Zheng Zha, and took a solid water from Zheng Zha's hand and put it in his mouth.

Zheng Zha asked with a smile: "What? Not going shopping anymore?"

"It's smelly, dirty, and unbearable."

Wen Lie suffered a disastrous defeat when he tried to visit Hamunaptra, a famous location in adventure movies.

He really couldn't stand the environment down there, and after walking around for more than ten minutes, he couldn't help but come out.

Eve, O'Connor, Jonathan, soldiers and workers are still exploring and digging underground.

Brushing off the dust from his body with some annoyance, Wen Lie asked Zheng Zha, "What are you guys talking about here?" Zheng Zha replied, "We're talking about the team battle. We're facing the Yinzhou team the day after tomorrow at the latest. Wen Lie, you said we'd be wiped out. What about now? What are our chances of winning now?"

Wen Lie asked, "What's the standard? Annihilation of Team Yinzhou? Or completing the mission and returning to the main divine space?"

Zheng Zha said without hesitation: "Everyone returned to the main divine space alive."

Wen Lie rested his chin on the back of his hand and tilted his head to ask, "Who does this big family include?"

Zheng Zha pondered for a moment, looked around, and then said firmly, "Me, Zhan Lan, Zhang Jie, Lingdian, Qi Tengyi, Zhao Yingkong, Xiao Honglu, and you."

In other words, Zhang Heng, Gao Hongliang, and Qin Zhuiyu are not included.

Zheng Zha clearly distinguished between those who had to be protected and those who had the energy to protect. If the incident like in the last horror movie happened again, he would never forgive himself.

"Impossible. We may have caught up with the Indian team now, but only in terms of firepower. If the Indian team had the ability to kill people from a distance, or superpowers like invisibility, burrowing underground, walking through walls, manipulation, or hallucinations, at least two of us would have died."

Wen Lie shook his head.

If the Indian team had normal intelligence, the death toll would have been much higher.

"It's pretty much what I guessed, but you seem to have overlooked the most important person."

A trace of solemnity flashed in Xiao Honglu's eyes.

Killing from a distance, becoming invisible, escaping underground, passing through walls, manipulation, and hallucinations, these special abilities were something he had not taken into account.

Although they have no direct attack power, these strange abilities cannot be cracked, and only two of them are needed to kill them.

Wen Lie asked, "You don't mean Imhotep, do you?"

Xiao Honglu frowned and asked, "What else? Even without the Indian team, an undead priest who can create sandstorms, control rivers, and summon the undead is already difficult to deal with. At least I can't think of any way to bury it safely. I can only follow the plot of the movie step by step to get the Golden Scripture of the Sun and let the characters in the plot bury Imhotep."

Add to that the Indian team... If the Indian team has the abilities you guessed, our chances of winning will be even lower. Unless the Indian team members appear nearby after Imhotep is resurrected, we can cover them with artillery fire before they use those special abilities. "

Zheng Zha's face became heavy as he listened to Xiao Honglu's statement.

Based on the magical powers that Imhotep showed in the movie, he didn't think he could defeat him.

Those abilities that seem to have no offensive power and can only make the protagonists of urban novels rich are also very difficult to deal with if they become enemies.

Wen Lie looked at Xiao Honglu and Zheng Zha as if they were fools.

Xiao Honglu frowned into a well-shaped frown, and with a force of his fingers, a hair was cut off at the root.

"What do you think? Just say it."

"Imorton is actually the easiest to deal with."

Wen Lie really couldn't understand why Xiao Honglu and the others in the original work didn't think of looking for the Golden Sun Sutra, even though they clearly knew the location of the Golden Sun Sutra.

Even if the Lord God has set restrictions on taking out the Golden Sun Sutra for the sake of balance, you still have to take it to find out.

What Wen Lie couldn't understand was why Chu Xuan didn't think of this when he was reviewing the situation with Zheng Zha, but instead proposed another meaningless method.

We can only assume that the average intelligence of this multiverse is not as good as that of ordinary people in the real world, so anyone with the intelligence level of a normal person is an ordinary wise man.
