Chapter 1001： Dead desert

Talking with Abraham all the way, Yang Cheng thinks this is a good person. Although he is engaged in a job that has always been disgusting, at least his nature is not bad, and people who have feelings for his family will not be too thorough.

At around 5 o'clock in the evening, Yang Cheng and his entourage rushed to Luxor, a city near the Valley of the Kings. This is also an ancient city. The ancient Thebes site is located here and is called the ‘Open Air Museum’.

Compared to Cairo, Yang Cheng found that Luxor was even more beautiful. The buildings were no longer old-fashioned yellow, but a bit more colorful. They also straddle the banks of the Nile River. The river water is clearer. The cleanness is far better than that of Cairo, the capital.

Luxor has a typical tropical desert climate. The temperature during the day is as high as 40 degrees. Even though it has entered late autumn in the northern hemisphere, Luxor, which is close to the equator, is basically unaffected. You will be exposed to the sun at noon for a while, be sure to change your skin color.

The sky was extremely blue, a white cloud hung gently in the sky, and the residual heat had not yet dissipated. Yang Cheng, who had just entered the city, felt the heat wave on his face.

They didn't book a hotel before they came, but the most important thing at the moment was to find Abraham's friend who sold equipment. From the moment he entered the city, Yang Cheng stopped chatting with Abraham and let him concentrate on giving directions.

He said that the friend should now be doing business at the market on the east bank of the Nile. He said it was a business, but it was actually a small vendor selling fruit and juice. When Yang Cheng and the others found him, they were full of irritability dealing with the tourists. A cup of strawberry juice, which is about US$2, is directly placed on the car for tourists to take, while he holds his hat and asks the tourists to pay for the change by themselves. Yang Cheng looks disgusted with that impatient attitude, so there is also poverty in Africa. It makes sense, one must take part of the responsibility for slack.

Of course, he was so poor that Yang Cheng couldn't care about it. Asking the most important thing was that Abraham finally had the motivation to speak with Yang Cheng's huge bonus.

At first, his friend was very rude, and even waved his hands roughly to chase people away, but Abraham persistently whispered a few words into the other's ear. The guy instantly changed his face and rubbed his hands to Yang Cheng's side. Running over, how cheap and cheap is the look of thieves.

"This rich boss, I am very happy to meet you. I heard Abraham say that you are a generous big man. I like to serve people like you the most. If you have any requests, please mention it. it is good."

Yang Cheng took off his sunglasses, didn’t bother to look at him, and asked bluntly, “Abraham said that someone asked you to buy a metal detector a while ago? It’s a military-grade one? I hope you can talk about it all in detail. Don’t worry. , The benefit is indispensable to you."

Sharif seemed a bit embarrassed, because selling customer information is unethical in their business, but this thing is worthless. The key is that he sees no benefit and has no motivation to say it.

Yang Cheng was impatient and beckoned to the back. A bodyguard took out a wad of green dollar bills from his arms, estimated to be more than 1,000.

Sharif took the count excitedly, thief smiled a few words, and said hypocritically, "Boss, for your sincerity, it's hard to make an exception. Only this time~"

The implication is that these 1,000 dollars are only enough for a piece of news. This guy is also a person who will look at him. At the critical point of Yang Cheng’s explosion, he finally said, “The one who bought the instrument with me is a British guy. I don’t know if he is from I don’t know it. It’s not important. What’s important is that he is very generous. The Fischer custom model that I had just gotten in my hand was priced at US$30,000. He didn’t even pay the price. I regretted it. It’s been many days since he got the instrument from me, he left and never showed up again."

It seemed that Yang Cheng was dissatisfied with the answer, so he quickly added, "This is all I know, boss, I have a very professional ethics."

If only Yang Cheng was here, then maybe he would be deceived, but Shirefu forgot, Yang Cheng and the group were brought by Abraham. If others don’t understand Abraham, can they not understand the twists and turns here. ?

"Please, Sharif, I didn’t bring customers to you to make you smash my sign. You’d better say everything you know. Believe me, you will get rich rewards. On the contrary, you will see the person behind the Z national Are you a bodyguard? Those are the masters who kill people without blinking. You don't want to wake up after a night's sleep, right?"

This threatening beating was said by Abraham who pulled Shiref a short distance away.

Sharif frowned and looked very hesitant, and Abra continued to work harder, "I don't believe you didn't send someone to follow that British guy, so you know what you'd better say."

Sure enough, Steve pressed his fist, "Okay, my brother, I believe you once."

The two returned to Yang Cheng again. Sharif changed the attributes of the chicken thief who was plucking the feathers and said frankly to Yang Cheng, "The boss, I did not lie to you before, but we are very good at it. To capture the news, the British guy is generous, and if he wants this customized version of the instrument, it must be related to the tomb robbery. I want to get the first-hand information and sell it to the military guy to make a lot of money for the used weapons. .

So I immediately sent someone to follow, but in less than a day, the person I sent came back to report in frustration, saying that the British and his party did not stay near the Valley of the Kings at all, but jumped into the Thebes. In the Desert of Death, which is a forbidden area that we locals all know, the brother sent to follow him did not dare to follow, so he returned early.

The above is all I know. I don’t care about any conflicts between you and the British, don’t get involved with me, I’m just for extra money. "

Yang Cheng frowned and ignored him, but Hansen took a step forward, and under Steve's nervous gaze, he took out another sum of money, about 3 to 4,000 US dollars, and grinned, "You paid me so happy. You can get more, now you can go, but you have to be prepared, we will still look for you at any time."

Sharif is unreliable and can't let him know too much, and Abraham is also a ground snake. He should be able to answer further questions, such as what the **** is in the desert of death.

drove Steve away, this guy was unwilling, and turned around one step at a time, until Hansen gave him an uncomfortable look, and returned to the stall where he sold fruit juice.

It’s not advisable to talk more on the street. There is a small hotel near the market. Yang Cheng and the others did not dislike it. They directly asked Abraham to make a two-story building and drove all the stores out. They guarded against surveillance in Hansen. After the inspection, Yang Cheng entered a room casually. Yang Cheng sat in * and asked Abraham who was standing at the door, "Tell me about this desert of death?"

Abraham fell into the color of memories, "Death desert, that is a forbidden land. In Luxor, the east bank of the Nile is called the "city of life", and the west bank is called the "city of the dead". The origin, in addition to the ancient Egyptian pharaohs were buried in the Valley of the Kings, but also because of the existence of the death desert.

It is really a forbidden zone for life. Not only humans, but even the most common poisonous snakes and scorpions in the desert can hardly survive in the core area of ​​the dead desert. They wander more on the edge and constitute the first path of the dead desert. Line of defense. "

Yang Cheng frowned and listened patiently to Abraham's words, "No one knows when the Death Desert was formed, let alone how it was formed. It is like the entrance to hell, taking lives directly away. There were no bones left, and there were more people dead. People gradually became full of fear there, and even fabricated rumors about the place where the devil lived, to warn future generations not to enter the desert of death under any circumstances, even if curiosity stays on the edge for a while, they are not allowed ."

'S words were a bit wicked, Yang Cheng couldn't help asking, "Couldn't anyone come out alive? What is it inside? How did it consume life?"

Abraham shook his head with fear, "No, as far as I know, since the reputation of the death desert spreads, every year there are explorers who are not afraid of death trying to conquer and explore the secrets of the death desert, but in the end none Exceptionally, they all lost the news after entering the desert of death and never came out again."

Yang Cheng glanced at Hansen with a solemn expression, and had a bad premonition in his heart. Maybe Eiffel and his party entered the desert of death, and there was no news.

settled down and continued to ask, "Now that the technology is so advanced the area of ​​the death desert is not large, is there still no reliable explanation?"

Abraham smiled bitterly. "There are so-called scientific theories, but no one here believes them. They are more willing to believe in ghosts and gods. After all, the legends left by the ancient Egyptian pharaohs are too magical. If it is not good, it will be brainwashed by ghosts and gods.

As for whether the inferences made by those scientists are correct, I have no way to judge.

Just a few years ago, a scientific research team received funding from wealthy Americans and used military satellites to explore the dead desert from the sky. The available images are similar to those in the Sahara Desert. They are all desolate. There are more or less in the Sahara. There is still a little green to find, but there is really nothing in the desert of death. There are so many bare sand dunes, except that they found everything.

Then the scientific research team can only speculate based on imagination, a speculation that there is a huge underground space under the Dead Desert, causing the Dead Desert to form a natural loophole, quicksand with great attraction, swallowing any creatures trying to set foot underground. ;"

This statement made Yang Cheng's eyelids jump continuously. He knew that this statement existed, because the huge treasure of Thutmose III was probably located below the desert of death.

Abraham didn't notice Yang Cheng's changed face, and continued, "There is another saying that there are a group of marching ants living in the death desert. The power of these creatures is too terrifying, and there is no grass in the place where the ant colony walks!"
